First of all special thanks to the guys at Lakeridge Software forums for getting all the icons rounded up and laying the foundation for this. Also, this isn't an exact mock up because I personally think the storm clutters too many screens with the same icons over and over. If you want to change it then have at it
and yes, it "clicks"
go to www.swampthing.net and grab it while its hot!!!
nice !
not tried it (don't actually get my THD till next week) but the screenies look really classy - i'll be trying this - nice job.
But I suppose it saves me the time of trying to convert the one which PPC.apache put up!!
Well done!

all i did was pretty much put my twist on his with some resizing of things and such.Shoot I say you build your own as well bro. Mine isnt purely Blackberry Storm, it is blackberry storm by mallman I don't like all of the BB out of the box so if you were going to make and exact duplicate then by all means continue your work.
Thanks for the kind words though bro, didn't mean to beat you to the punch. I just like making themes.

No worries, I am doing my tax return at the moment, so don't need the distraction, so might do it later on in the week!!
You keep up the good work, you are on a roll!

Just had a play with yours. I like the icons and I think I might change the front page around to be the calendar page with some more information as I like to have my appointments on the front page.
WAD2 is really good for stuff like this

yeah nothing touches WAD2 as far as the limitless customizations. I can honestly say that your imagination is the only limitation. And please do publish your BB themes for us. You may spark more ideas in my head Good luck on your tax returns. Im getting a CPA this year which is ironic since I work for INtuit (the company that makes TurboTax) and file for free. lol.
MALLMAN, loving the theme, like i mentioned over on swampthing. Since there is not alot of commenting on your forum, I decided to ask this here. Would anyone know where to find the icons for this theme? I know there are various icon packs around the forum, but i cannot find any that would go good with this theme.

If you're looking for he phone one then I have bad news There isnt one int he pack. i have tons of icons for this. Here are the ones I made so you can use them and link it in.
I have ported these in like you and I talked about, i also changed the weather icon to be much more attractive. Attached those too if youre interested. I have also added a couple of notifiers for missed calls (it is positioned the phone button on a transparent icon and an appointment notifier positioned behind the calendar icon. Finally, I have cleared out the calendar icon on the front so it always displays the current day of the month.
ANd yeah, there will never be conversation on swampthing like there is here lol. I couldn't afford the bandwidth if there were.
I have updated this by making a phone icon and updating the weather icon as well as tweaking the weather page a little.
Hi Mallman
i have installed into my HTC HD your "HTC Mallmans_15_Tab_Windows_Icons" and now when I start the system exit a lot of pop-up with "Failed to load skin".
I don't use TouchFlow3d, I use simply Today with many plugin.
Where is the problem into registry ? Where can I look ?
It looks very nice but requires paypal to download the theme!

Hi folks
I am thinking about skinning the Android, and I am starting to understand how to do it as we speak
I have discovered the correct files, and the only problem I am having at the moment, is lack of creativity >.<
Does anyone have bright ideas on how it should be?
Best regards,
Zappza
Quite like the original skin with Android. The 3 screens allows me to add anycuts to the apps grouped by personal stuff, daily apps and then browser/net stuff.
Skin ideas
Look for the thread that talks about the G2... some interesting pictures there.
--M
Basically the only things I can to currently to get it to look a like the mockups, is to change the icons to be more shiny.
That could work out
Will try to get some work done next week, I have lots of homework at the moment >.<

I don't like the design on the X360 dash.

I think it would be cool to have three tabs at the bottom for file shortcuts.
That way instead of having to put custom folders on the desktop one could just swipe up one of the three tabs.
Granted you can store many shortcuts on the side desktop screens. But, I like the swipe motion from the bottom better.
Also, I would love to see some different color themes. Maybe reverse the black/white of the window shade and made the app slider a darker grey.
What about making the icons transparent; like the blackberry storm.
please dont copy the iphone or xbox or whatever..i mean the color schemes are alright
but just make something pure eyecandy please..show us your creativity!!!

I haven't read so much in the Android Documentation yet, but my logic senses that this is some pretty heavy modding of both the graphics and the .xml files that control how things are setup.

This could be possible without any big fuss.
Transparent icons when inactive, and if pressed they become opaque.

A starter could've been just to make the standard android a lot darker, just to familiarise with how we can edit the settings
Will start on Tuesday probably, my girlfriend is visiting me from Norway, so I'll probably have other stuff to do this weekend
What's the news on this?
And would this require root? =/
Currently nothing yet, but I will hopefully get started tomorrow
This will require root yes, as the only way I know of is to replace the files in question in the modified RC8 or RC30 image from JesusFreke.

*** Notes ***
1. Android doesnt really do that much which I was surprised at.
2. There are 5 screens on this theme and I only use 3 of them so 2 are there for you to get creative with or just delete if you dont want them
3. Android uses a hard "menu" button to bring up its menu so I put a little purple android on the screen to mimic its function
4. The background on this is super widescreen meaning the background spans across 5 screens. really cool feather of android and I am glad I was able to mimic it. If you change the background you will loose this effect
5. Navigation of this theme is as follows:
A. Tap the box with time and such to unlock
B. Swiping your finer up and down on the main screen bring up the apps menu and hides it. Pressing the button also does this
C. Switing your finger left and right navigates between the pages
D. Pressing the purple android toggles the manu on the phone and messaging pages
AS ALWAYS, READ THE FAQ IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FIRST

I will be waiting for your theme!
i have done a lot of research on Android's UI by watching all the videos and screenshots I can find and I have to say that it really doesnt have much lol. I have pretty much completely recreated it. Of course it isnt possible to recreate its browser or contacts lists etc etc etc. One thing I was able to mimic is its "spanning desktop wallpaper". My version has one wallpaper that spans across 5 screens (not the same wallpaper over and over but a 2500x800 across 5 screens)
I am putting in some menus that mimic the small white one on each page that appears when you press the hard menu button on the G1. I am saying all of this so that those of you who have not used an Android phone think I am missing a lot because there isnt much to miss

Will you ever finish any of your themes? This is a good idea but will you do more than the basic stuff?.
Lol, he's released like 5 themes in the past 24 hours it seems, the concept of his work is nice, there is a lot more that can be done to make it better though. Either way I could care less, I make my own personal, as well as public, use themes.
Eh, as a theme maker its good to see someone doing variety of themes like this. Like it or not, most people don't want to see overblown full themes and are happy with something like any of the the past 3-4 themes RandumAccess has done. Kudos for doing the work, it'll probably save others from getting requests like those.
Its a community, share and create alike. Thanks for making them I say.

Well as I have said in previous posts, i like "simple" cosmetic themes... its not that i cant do them but in my opinion I like them cause the icons arent so different from each other and i like to push out themes as i think of them...
I prefer basic... most themes are overcooked...lol
to me... they are complete...lol
prash said:

I agree and I am one of those people... I do not like the Overcooked themes myself... which is why i use mainly my own themes on my phone.
There is a point where the theme can make the G1 ugly... especially if not done right... I find flaws in most of the overcooked themes and would rather not deal with that and just push out simple themes.
The more themes the better.
The more the merrier, keep 'em coming!
i think it's at, you spend a few minutes replacing a couple of simple things while the rest of us spend days or weeks perfecting all the awesomeness of the "overcooked" as you say themes and i think that the perfection lies somewhere in the middle. hopefully we have some really great well-done, and some medium rare themes, that come out of this contest we are having. just a few days left for competitors to perfect the themes
I have to throw in my .02 in favor of the undercooked theme. I've downloaded a few of the amazing looking themes and then, 20 minutes later I realized that half the icons on the home pages aren't themed and it just looks... off. I rather themes that don't touch the icons or don't radically change them so when I install a new program it doesn't look like ass when I put it on the home page. Not to say I don't appreciate all the work themers put into them, but I think it's nixed the moment you place a non-themed icon on the desktop.

Sorry for clogging up your theme thread just wanted to know.
Well a theme that has just been altered is a Theme MOD and what you call overcooked is considered complete.
I seen this in another thread about this section being broken up,I really think it would be a great idea maybe add some sub forums. Complete themes,Mod Themes and a section for all the other threads.
"hey i just wanted to say thanks
ive been looking four hrs for a theme for my newly rooted g1
and while i like most of em i dont like when most of the icons are changed but then most arent
i hate a mix like that
thats why i love your themes
i just installed your green theme (sorry dont remember the name right now lol...know it begins with a g)
just looks tacky when some icons are themed and others arent
id rather have em all themed or none...with some exceptions
but thanks again i love your work"
-dtperea - one of my fans...lol
I get numerous emails like this almost daily... and This is who I theme for.
I love you guys and you motivate me to do my style of themes...
I say keep the themes coming Randum!!! I actually really like that you don't change the icons... I love a lot of these themes but the icons always kept me from using them. You sir have changed that for me!
Yeah, I think that we should make themes just like these and then use utilities like BetterCut to change the icons to ones that match.
That's what I do anyways.
Maybe the devs can post their icons in separate packs, too (as if they don't have too much on their plate already with the RC9, RC33 and ADP1.1 builds to theme... =P)

Is the mediafire link in your signiture up to date with all these "simple" themes?
I'm sorry and i know I'm not a senior member like most but honestly an artist telling another artist to change up his style is just retarded. if you don't like someone else's work keep making your "overcooked" or "completed" themes and accept that maybe there are some people out there that don't like your themes as much as the simple ones.
you both make sick themes and this is no way to treat one another like your themes are better than someone else's because you are only looking at it in your own point of view.
Keep up the good work guys and one day i look forward to be as good as you guys.

I noticed ted's hero theme and drizzys hero rom use a different gmail icon. Unfortunately it still doesnt blend well in my opinion. But could someone combine the current MAIL icon with ted and drizzy's gmail icon?!?!!
Basically the mail icon mailbox with the gmail envelope hanging out of the mailbox a little bit?
the icon space may not allow for that and remain the same size as the other hero icons though. so maybe just the google G on the rightmost side of the mailbox as a secondary idea?
best i could do...
for those of u (if anybody) that didnt think my idea was stupid I created the image best as i could. I dont do photoshop/gimp any better than i could "paint". This is what i was talkin about. Anybody with the photoshop know how to create a better version of this image FEEL FREE!...please!

Im sure somebody with real skills could make a better 1. Like 1 with an actual opened door on it instead of just erasing that part of the mailbox lol. My imaginations way bigger than my skills r with that program but ill keep trying. Glad you like it tho!

the actual mailbox hasnt been modded except to create a open look for the envelope because i wanted it as close 2 the mail icon as possible but i can try it...that shouldnt b hard! lol (still learnin where things r and how 2 use em)
Why not make a widget, like handcent sms uses one ?
An icon with a number in it, so you can see haw many new mails you have.
I think hero has this also ?

I been searching all over the web for a decent LCARS PADD skin for android
well got tired of looking decided to go ahead and make one for myself
This is my first Attempt at making a functional Lcars system
lot of hours went into searching and interface design simple to use
pain to design anyways let me know what you guys think this version is the first and is subject to change
download sweeterhome beta 2 first
and choose theme
then search for
greytrek_Galaxy_s_edition
UPDATE
Hey guys been getting questions about lcars system in color well currently I am working on just that!
Something minimalistic at the same time very efficient as far as functionality and theme wise will be posting
screenshots later today
Keyword Trek it will pull up everything startrek on sweeter home im not the only lcars designer
discontiued
hey guys im going to go ahead and stop providing support on my lcars theme i put alot of time into designing a theme that functioned and looked good aswell
but support for my work was pretty much none so unfortunately that is my de-motivator anyways best of luck guys
thanks to those who downloaded and tried it but this is me bidding adieu
very cool. is this compatible with Froyo?
I was about to say, "is it supposed to like some star trek console or something?", then I saw greytrek...lol.
Looks too cluttered.
yeah that was the first make of it i put control buttons to hid and minimize everything aswell so the clutter issue should be alot less noticeable and i believe sweeterhome should be froyo compatible
i like the Trek series, but that is going a bit over board
i'll definitely keep it on hand, for Hallowing and Costplay parties
nah i reckon it's an awesome effort into making a LCARS, wanted something like this since i was a kid. good work and thanks a lot!
i look forward future revisions!
it will be revised quite a bit its still in alpha status
Would you consider a colour version my friend.
Looks great.
My wife would kill me if I put this on her Galaxay but do it for a Desire and its a done deal. lol
Hey guys here is my colored Theme
i would need to have a device with the screen size to make it work
Simply lovely. Thanks.
