Maybe your like me and when you got to XDA, you found your phone's forum section and began posting and getting involved and flashing ROMS.
Well I own a G1, and I have spent my entire existance here at XDA in the Dream forum. In our "Theme/Wallpaper" thread we have a "Sticky" thread dedicated to just wallpapers.
I didnt see the same thing over here, so i thought I would get it started.
i have over 3000 android compatible wallpapers(check sig and barcode), all resized to 640x480.
here are just a few:
Here are my walls!
this one is badass, especially if you like fall/autumn.
The ones i mostly use
well i hope u enjoy!!!!
Whats the size for wallpapers?
That's a picture I took that I'm using as wallpaper
Here's some that I use frequently. Enjoy!
There are some good ones here from Radix999:

Hi all here is a simple wallpaper i've just made
all these wallpapers are awesome
cool thanks all
Screen Grabber
Whats a good screen Grabber I could download so to post my Home Screen/Wallpaper. The ones in the Market (Free) either do not work or needs the phone to be rooted.
one of the home replacement apps has a screengrab capability. You have to pay for them, though.
Otherwise, you'll need to use the Android SDK to take screen grabs. Install the android SDK from google, install the Java JDK from sun.java.com, connect your phone with USB, go to Settings|Applications|Developement and tick "Debug" mode. Windows should find and install an "ADB Device", this only works well on 32bit Windows. Once that's done, go into the Andoird SDK folder, open the tools folder and run the "DDMS" file. Then you can take screenshots.

Hey Guys i found this link in the titan forum and i have installed and used this piece of software on my TYTN, it works 100% and it is BRILLIANT!!
I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY CREDIT AT ALL FOR THIS, I HAD NO INPUT INTO THE DEVELOPEMENT, THAT WAS SOLEY DOWN TO emunutz (HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAM - NOT ME, OTHER THAN FOR MY FIXES)
I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE!!!

My Fixes:
FIX 1
Description: HTC Home FIX!
Error Description: When using ANY HTC Home Plugin, i found the following graphical error:
ill use the home tab as my example, when it is not selected, it is dull and transparent, and when you select it it gets a grey box around it and the icon image becomes lighter, this happens with all icons appart from the music note and the contacts tab
FIX:
i have fixed the images so that when they are selected they react the same as the others.
TO USE:
Extract then copy the Original Icons Fixi have attached into the following folder replacing the ones in there:
HTC HOME Customise\HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original
Then apply the "Original" Icon Set.
FIX 2
Extract then copy the Transparent selected file to:
HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\bg\Original Semi-Transparent
And it will make the Grey selection Box that appears around the selected tab Transparent!
My Packages/Upgrades:
1) Original Icons 3D Style
To Have The 6 Tab Icons In 3D Download Original 3D Icons inside the zip you will find 2 folders "Original" & "Original 3D"
The "Original 3D" folder has the new icons in it, copy these icons to:
HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original
Then select the "Original" icons from the Software.
If you decide to go back to the normal (non 3D) "Original" Icons, copy all of the files in the "Original" folder from "Original 3D Icons.zip" and copy them to the directory above, then select the "Original" icons from the Software.
FIX

I didnt realize! Mainly because i contacted the OP if the thread in the Titan Forum and he told me that it was his software and he was devoloping it.
I offered to have a play with some of the griphics and he asked that if I did anything could i post it on his thread so he could add it to his package.
Firstly i was looking for things that needed improvement and i released these 2 fixes, posted them in the Original thread and here so everyone could benefit
Thanks bennec83. Just a quick question. Does this work with the HTC Home 3 tabs version? I rather like the 3 tabs version as it is more finger friendly.
thanks for the effort

In theory (and we all know how accurate theory is) it should work with the 3-tab except for the tab order setting, as long as the version you are running installs to either \Windows or \HTCHome.
Another option would be to install the 6-tab version, run the customizer, and in the tab order setting you can select how many tabs and what order you want them in (which means you can display only 3 if you would like, and in any order you choose).

I tryed that and it didnt work, i have the 6 button kaiser home plugin, and it installs to \HTCHome, i used the customiser to change the order if the tabs and NOTHING happened.
I have been so bogged down with other stuff i didnt get a chance to message you!
Any clues?
thanks
You'll need a 6-tab cab that supports the tab order setting. In my thread, toward the bottom are RapidShare links for cabs that fully support all settings for the customizer for WM5 and WM6, including tab order.

I am having the custom weather database "Unable to retrieve weather" problem. I read the thread in the Titan forum, but could not resolve it and the linked N2A thread. I am using the cab file from that thread, not the Pocket Hosts method.
I am in the US, so I run the customizer (which completely rocks btw) and enter my city, zip code and USA for country. I get the cannot connect error. I read the post about switching to alternate connection, navigating to htc.accuweather.com, etc. but I do not actually know wtf is meant by switching to alternate connection? You mean wifi v. gsm connection??? I do get the error page "You have reached an inconfigured webpage..." when I navigate to htc.accuweather.com on any connection. (My city is on accuweather's US site, but not on the international site. That is, after all, the point of this customization, right?)
Any help appreiated - thx.

OK OK! I did read the first other thread. Thought you might know.
hey guys... me and I3v5y
have been working on a ui for gaming on the HD... here is our template.... but as i do not have my HD with me nor does he... we need to find out how it works....
please post a screen shot and report problems.... the faster you do so the quicker we can get this project done....
Where are we in Development?
We have finished Ui development and are starting the game development...
*UPDATE*
New TEST VERSION
Download here: http://cid-cddbf77985693632.skydriv...A files/Programs/ManilaGames/base.Demo.02.exe
guys we need to know!!!!
does it work smooth....
almost no description
no screenshots (you're asking us to post some, yet you're the developer)
a .exe (which to my knowledge wont work on mobile phones, i dont have a WM-powered mobile phone but i've read that install files are in .cab)
6 posts makes you think you're new and therefore many ppl won't download it and trust you.
so either its a virus and the-like or its real but you provided almost nothing that makes us think its 'real'.
topic reported so mods can take a view
Edit: took a look at your other posts and it looks like you're being serious. So sorry if i interrupted your topic with my (probably) false-indication
Edit2: nvm, its real. a mod made this exe. so again im sorry for the false statement and the report
for people reporting this thread
all is good....just checked posts look here if still unsure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3114391#post3114391
there is nothing wrong or "fishy" with this thread.
thank you
thank you.... i think????
lol
so can someone give me a report on how it runs on the device???? and a screenshot?
The app runs smoothly on my HD (IT ram 1.14): see screenshot attached.
hey, apart the game: what about making it as a launcher too (as touchlaunch or M2DAppLauncher? it seems perfect! and those apps seems to be dead...
I tried your game and till now it works very well. The touchscreen reaction is very good. But on the top in the left corner of the slider is one litle blue line. I marked this with a red square on the second sreenshot.
thanks for that blackmonkey we will try to fix it but for now we need to get the actual game running
No problem...I´m waiting for more..good luck
New Demo Version check it out at the first post...
please post screenshots and tell about your experience....
ok i got demo 2 up and running,
let's say im at the home icon and want to go to stock. when i click on stock it shows the home icon. the sliding bar at the bottom wont go where my thumb is. it does follow the movement if i slide it over the screen (i hope you get what i mean)
also ermm the first time when im on a new screen it shows the icon for a very short time when i press the screen.
please post a screenshot i don't understand....
I pressed the stock button with my thumb on that pic.
oh i see...
yes at the moment it is made for sliding use only.... so you willl have to drag the slider from tab to tab.....
Maybe you will see an actual game release tommarow... nothing advanced... maybe a tick tac toe game....
but I will get the helicopter game finished
ahh cool, when i release my finger it does go to that spot so it does work like that the slider is just not sticking to my finger on the spot i press the screen. can't wait to see a game on this it runs smootly
Get read for the first actual game release tommarow!!!!!!!!
Can someone explain exactly what this is?
OK well the idea is to create games and applications that keep the manila style look....
so if you want to get to the settings portion of a game... you have the tf3d thing at the bottom of every app and game....
understand?
Ok. It wont intergrate into TF3D, it will just look like it?
first of all, fantastic work. i have a couple questions.
1, is it possible to get this to use the manila resources so whatever theme we're using is also used by the game?
2, how hard would it be to port across a few emulators into this? while things like morphgear work fine, the are hardly finger friendly. i'm thinking running game on the first tab, list of roms on the second, maybe in the style of contacts or music player so case pictures can be added. and then settings on the third tabs. that sort of thing anyway. how feasable is that?
i'm personally of the opinion that the more things that have a unified look the better so i think what you're doing is great.
many thanks

Update: With some fixes, it was Tested and working on a Blackjack two (a widescreen display) i should be able to get some stuff up. If someone has a portrait device they can test on that would be great.
UPDATE:
I added a download link at the bottom. i am getting ready to start working on the server side of things, can a couple of you guys download the program and tell me how the first page looks (scroll bars ect) and what screen size you are using. if you can grab a screen shot that would be great. i need to know what i am working with here as far as how big text needs to be, how images are fitting the page ect THIS IS A VERY EARLY BETA and not completely functional (please do not download yet unless you are testing) I will post when we have a decent functional database going for everyone.
hi guys we are developing an "app store" and would like to further development to smartphones. I know you guy don't frequent the dev and hacking section because alot of stuff there doesn't work for you, so i'm posting a notice here to get your attention.
Basically we need a couple people willing to test and provide some links for some apps we can add (as we, the three people currently developin the app don't have smartphones to test on)
I will try and check up on this thread, but you will probably get better support back in the main thread in dev and hacking, here is the link:

thanks showacco i'll get them up tomorrow afternoon,
and hopefully i'll get that programs section by then lol... i pulled an all nighter last night setting up the new server so i'm going to bed earlly tonight
i have tons of apps...is there a prerequisite that they have to be legal?
jdoggraz has a great mediafire folder FULL (231!) of great apps for the Dash here:

Yes, they need to be legal. and i'll take a look at the mediafire drive, thanks.
Just letting you guys know, i uploaded some stuff but i'm not going to be able to finish tonight... i just had to transfer everything to a new server and doctor up some code. I'll talk to ather about getting some stuff done tonight by him and hopefully we will have something up this weekend
Download link added (the server isn't all set up yet but will be shortly)
See post one.
i got a "404 error the requested document was not found on the server" im running kavana's latest rom not v24 ricky stylez(sorry stylez) the latest version that recentley came out
i think you need to make the windows symbol a little bit smaller its kind of too big, i'll let you know more later i know its not fully completed.
was the error after clicking start?
if so that is correct, i only have one page up so that i know how large i need to make the images (you should not have to scroll side to side) (although you may need to scroll up and down on the smartphone version... unless we change the layout)

Hey guys i just got my tp2 today after being a blackberry user on verizon for the past few years. I got the chance to trade my storm 2 for the TP2 and took it as i love trying new phones out. However, i do have a few questions as this thing is pretty complex in comparison to my Storm2.
1. I know you can download themes and what not here on the TP2 much like you can on a blackberry and i saw one earlier today i would love to give a shot as it looks like everything i am looking for. HOWEVER, how do i go about doing something like that on this phone? Can i do it OTA like i did on the storm? Most of the issues lie in the fact that I am a mac user and do not have access to a Windows computer.
2. Are there any known problems you guys are having with the phones that i should keep an eye out for?
Any help or insight would be much appreciated and i look forward to sticking around for a while. I have wanted to try an HTC phone out for a while!!
Thanks in advance
For one, although it is no big deal in this post since this post is very general, we are a CDMA device and our main forums are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
1) Oh wow, you asked just about the second most complex question. WM has about one bajillion themes that you can use, each theme with their own unique features. Manila (Sense/TF3D/Manila), SPB Mobile Shell, Infinity by Ageye, iPhoneToday, the list goes on and on! What you like will be personal preference...my best suggestion would be give it a try and see if you like it. Here is a useful post with HUNDREDS of apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
2) You should install SSK Dynamic proxy and NoPushInternet to help improve performance. At0mAngD3D driver might be of use as well.
Best of luck with your new phone!
Thanks for the quick reply. My older brother told me to check out the SPB Mobile Shell i believe it was as he said there is sliding pages and what not much like the MyTouch or other HTC phones so i will def check those out. Can i download them OTA? That is going to be the biggest thing for me. I need to learn A LOT about this phone.
PS: It's nice to see another snowboarder in here. I manage a snowboard shop myself

Microsoft Marketplace will have the *majority* of apps you can find online available to download OTA. I do not believe it will automatically update the apps though (there are some 3rd party softwares that do).
SPB Mobile Shell is one of the most customizable UI's that we have. There are a ton of great widgets and themes for mobile shell as well, so there is no limit to what you can do (my favorite theme for SPB MS is the Mobile Sense Espresso)
BTW, very cool about the shop!! Where are you guys located?
We are located in Rochester, NY "The Ski Company" is the name of the store. Where can i get the Microsoft Marketplace?
Also, how do i go about downloading a new theme? I'm so lost with this phone
Edit: I really really like the look of that theme, as well. How do i get it? lol
Edit2: If i get a new theme (say i get that theme linked above) will i still get the weather that moves across my page and everything every so often? That is a feature i really enjoy with this phone.

Microsoft Market should be located in your start menu somewhere.
I find that there are more free apps online so I tend not to use marketplace that much. I download the .cab, copy it to my SD card and then use a file explorer to browse to/install the file. Google is usually good for me, I just search along the following lines "site:forum.xda-developers.com My Search terms". here is my example:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source...=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=908f344da1ea5ce4
That specific theme, SPB MS, is actually download-able from the marketplace, a demo version as well. Disable Sense UI (Start > settings > today .. browse to the item tab and uncheck HTC sense) and install SPB MS. After SPB MS is installed download the espresso theme and install that as well. With SPB MS you do not get the animated weather unfortunately, thats one of the benefits of the Manila UI.
Hello everyone. It seems that I can't see any other thread with this topic in my searches so I'm starting a new one.
FlipFonts are built-in to our Samsung Galaxy S's and they're quite nice. What are your thoughts on them, and do you have a favourite one?
My favourites are Dave Gibbons and Soho Gothic. I wish there were free fonts, or better yet, a way to use OpenType/TrueType fonts.
UPDATE /// Create Your Own Flipfonts!
ritalin said:
This method does NOT need root and works just like the fonts in the market.
I present you with two threads. The first is my How-To thread with everything you need to start making FlipFonts. First time will probably take you about 20 minutes, After you get use to the steps you can make one in 5 minutes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345
The next thread is the Vibrants Master List of user created FlipFonts. All that I ask is that you post your flipfonts in this thread so that they are all located in one location. We have been trying to keep the fonts in the first few posts with links that allow for download in the XDA tapatalk app.

agree, i've been pondering about that as well, there should be a way to convert/import regular TrueType fonts into our phones
I've seen other fonts being and installed by users, but am I right in thinking that you need your phone rooted to be able to use them properly?

the official route is to buy them from Market then
Settings => Display => Font Style
I do like the Helvetica Nueue and Frutiger but none of the flipfonts I've tried seem to include a bold weighting (important for me when seeing what email is unread, also the time in status panel should be bold etc).
Droid Sans (the default) is pretty cool though anyway.

It's a pity no one's figured out how to package them in an apk for installation by non-root users. All good stuff though.
My favorites are Helvetica Neue and Soho Gotic (my #1 favorite), though some applications look a bit ugly when using other fonts than Droid Sans.

I do like the Helvetica Nueue and Frutiger but none of the flipfonts I've tried seem to include a bold weighting (important for me when seeing what email is unread, also the time in status panel should be bold etc).
Droid Sans (the default) is pretty cool though anyway.

and could you tell about unofficial route pls?
Are you guys serious... I created a method for making your own FlipFonts and posted it in every Galaxy S variant forum on XDA, Im a Vibrant user. Hell my howto was even posted on AdroidSpin last week.
This method does NOT need root and works just like the fonts in the market.
I present you with two threads. The first is my How-To thread with everything you need to start making FlipFonts. First time will probably take you about 20 minutes, After you get use to the steps you can make one in 5 minutes.

The next thread is the Vibrants Master List of user created FlipFonts. All that I ask is that you post your flipfonts in this thread so that they are all located in one location. We have been trying to keep the fonts in the first few posts with links that allow for download in the XDA tapatalk app.

Enjoy guys.
Dude, I'd give you 3 stars and a pint of your favourite drink for sharing this with us.
--- EDIT ---
Already created my first FlipFont! I'll be posting it in that thread. Off to create screenshots now. It didn't come out as good as I wanted, it looks a bit too small, but hey.
No problems... I'm glad so many people have found the how to useful.
If you want to check your font size before making the apk double click on any of the capital letter glyphs after you do the paste special. This will open up the edit window for that glyph. You should see the original guides for android fonts listed there. Use the cap height and other to see if the new characters are too small or too big.
