hi there folks!
This is my first post, but I`m member since some time ago..
well i've been searching for this for a while but I didn't found something really useful, I just want what the title says, a semi-transparent app drawer for mi dinc, like the sexy rosie( ---> forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764935)but preserving the stock sense bar. Now Im running on it the Virtous rom. I dont know anaything of compiling on android or that stuff, but if it is simple I can learn quickly, maybe just modifying a little the sexy rosie zip but I dont know if it is going to be complicated
PD: I saw a post with this mod on the evo forums but I dont like it, I think the sexy rosie's is a lot better
thanks anyway and greetings
hi guys, can anyone one of you pls post a simple yet attractive theme which conserves the least amount of battery & looks pretty good ???
i desperately want it.
because, default theme with Touchwiz looks too bright & shiny... kind of glaring to my eyes. i think that can also consume lot of battery..
i prefer dark background with white letters & fonts would be best...
i hope someone here can help me.
i saw one user posting his desktop in post your desktop thread. but he has never told us the steps he used to get that theme.
i request him to pls share his settings her, as we know what kind of softwares he has used to get that effect....
help us to feel better guys...

Is there a guide anywhere on how to do this?
I assume you would need to have rooted first?
I can't seem to find anything here that deals with that...

That wont help him ..
If I was you Id flash the Lite'ning Rom (link below)
Great rom and it gives you the theme with the rom ..
From there you can flash any KE7 theme from the forums ..
There are usually instructions on how to do it ...
You need a deodexed rom to flash themes ..
Here's a few good starting points ...this will also give you root..

We all had to start somewhere ..If he needs help or more info then he only has to ask ..
Some of us on XDA work together as a community...
The help and advice if there if he wants it ...if not then that's fine..
The point of your post is ? ...
I agree we where all newbies at one time, even i am just getting to grips with it.
All the help you need is on this forum, dont be afraid to ask.
Re:
Sorry didnt see that you have seen the post your desktop thread, but the answer to your questions are within that thread itself.
Most of the posters have mentioned the software they have used (Launchers, widgetlocker, icon packs, backgrounds) etc. I agree its a pain to navigate through the pages looking for this kind of info but hey its wortht the effort! I am a newbie to Android too and the post your desktop thread has taught me so much, most of the software listed there is free and on the Android market too.
Personally I am using Simi clock, battery and weather widgets along with the 'Beautiful widgets'. Try these for a start.

I was hoping I could change a theme, ie the look of the icons, the fonts etc without having to flash a ROM....I have flashed ROM's before but I always found the phone to become a bit unstable afterwards. (This was on the SE X1 so perhaps it was the crappy phone rather than the ROM!!)
I can't see anywhere how to change the global icons or the global font's and things.
I was hoping you could just install/uninstall a theme...but it doesn't look like you can do such a thing.
I have Widget Locker and Launcher Pro but none of those seem to allow a total global theme...
Will Go Launcher EX enable me to do all that?

I've been looking at that thread but I can't seem to customise my phone like most people have done in that thread. There seems to be a lot of tweaking behind the scenes which is what I am looking to try but need some sort of tutorial...
8/9/11 - 10 PM: Since the mod itself is very deep in the framework-res code, the request has been changed to a stock theme with ONLY the 8 Lockscreen mod. At least this way, anyone who feels bold enough to overlay their own themes onto this modded base may do so.
I greatly appreciate maddoggin's on the 8 Lockscreen mod, but I just don't want to change the theme settings that I have now (plus piling themes on top of one another gave me phone problems). All I want is the mod itself, no status bars, no themes, no icon changes, just the mod.
That is, unless someone can tell me what do modify from maddoggin's initial theme to leave just the lockscreen mod.

+1 i Agree. im satisfied with me theme just looking for the mod
+ 1 as well.
Would do it myself but just not sure enough on what I'm doing.

the mod is baked into framework-res... which would make it impossible to get the mod without changing half of your theme (battery icons, notifications, window frames anything that resides in framework-res) in other words you would need to do it individually for each theme.

Exactly... But if anyone would take the time (not me) it may be possible to do with metamorph.... Maybe not 100% sure tho.

thats true.. if anybody wants to try taking a gingerbread metamorph for framework-res and adding the xmls and required images to it. i got it to work once for froyo with window animations... i dont run ginger so i wont be able to mess around with this one.

Does that mean that it's like the CRT mod or is the appropriate code even deeper than that? Should I just aim my request directly at maddoggin, then?
In that case how about a request for a stock theme with the lock mod, crt and overscroll.

While that solution does work for me, it may not work for someone else who desires a non-stock theme (again, layering multiple themes can cause problems which means a data wipe is needed). Ideally, maddoggin could release the code for modding framework-res so all the themers can successfully integrate it, but if worst comes to worst (and it's programming, so it often does), then I'll change the request to a modded stock theme.

He has man. Not every theme has incorporated it. The easy way to do it is to swap in your preferred images.
Cd's or tapes?
I haven't seen a code release thread anywhere for it. I did a search for it, but all I have seen is various theme threads giving credit.
So if we were to try and "snatch and replace" just the 8 ls mods...inside fr res...what would these 8..be called in the folder becaue i am dying to try...gettin bored with 6 lol?? I been puttin all kinds of themes together to get where i am now..why stop? Thanks in advance..

i dont know why people think there is "code" or "source" to be released! i understand you may want to do this your self and use how ever you want to use i truly understand that! thats how it all started for me i saw other samsung phones with this mod and told my self why doesnt the epic have it andd i requested and requested untill i just said "**** IT" imma do it myself! well you want to know how i did it! theres no damn "source" or speciail magic trick or even a guide on how to do it! i grabbed the mod from 3 different phones dude! the fascinate, galaxy 19000 and the captivate. and i searched the forums and figured out how to make it all work on our phone! thats how it was done! no source no tricks! of course i got help from the guys i dl the mods from but thats it! so im sorry the lock mod isnt exactly to your liking dude and anyone else for that matter. but if you want something done try searching around the forums and figure out how to do it yourself otherwise shut the **** up, quit whinning and be happy that have 8 damn locks to choose from at all!
I can understand your frustation Maddoggin. I don't think he intended to upset you. I think he simply would like someone to teach him what mods were necessary to implement this into a stock theme template. As you described it is a lengthy and arduos task to pull from many sources. I think he simply hopes you will share you modifications to the framework-res that implement this so that he can either create a stock theme template or someone else can. Guys please be sure to not hound our devs. We have seen enough move on to other phones. Maddoggin has every right to say no and someone can do what he did or we can simply try to persuade him to help you learn more.

I am always open to help someone out that's has never been a problem I help those who ask for help! But I won't walk you through the whole process! You WILL learn or you WILL give up! All you have to do is open up my files! You want to know the source is! The source is the s5tock files! That's the damn source! You compare my files with the stock ones and get the difference! That's the mod! What some people are asking for is for me to give them only the files needed for the mod! That's ****ing ridiculouse! That would take me more time to do than it did to make it work on our phone! There are so many files modded it would be almost impossible and in anycase this mod isn't mine to give away it belongs to the man who created it and he will be of less help than me trust me!

When I update my files to the new leak (when a deodexed rom is posted) I will make a stock version of the mod nothing else no battery % nothing just plain stock version! That's the best I can do! Sorry for getting frustrated! But I put in allot of time making this mod work on each release and I don't get paid for it **** my wife is mad at me cause I spend more time on this mod than I do with her! Lmao! So yeah it gets frustrating when you hear someone isn't happy with your work! Sorry!

Maddoggins right... I respect this guy. He's to the point and does what he wants but he's nice if you need any help... the only reason he's pissed is because people have asked about this thousands of times in his thread and if you want it then make it.

Heyas all!
Just recently joined, spent all last night figuring out how to root my Vodafone HD and figured i got the most help from here so i might as well register and ask here too!
My problem is that i've ported over to the Virtuous Unity 1.31.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid
and it's great! but i want to have the old gingerbread style text messaging from my stock htc sense 2 rom.
I figure i can somehow delete the apk and install the old one but have no idea how (couldn't search it)
If anyone could shed light it'd save me installing a gingerbread rom again
~Edit
Also, any way to make the wallpaper in the background scroll like with gingerbread? the foreground marquee is a pain in the ass
Not too sure about about using the old Messaging app, as it uses the old framework (2.1).. I don't think it will work with the new one (3.0)..
but you can always try...
Just take the apk from a sense2.1 rom and use adb to push it into your rom. Try searching this forum on how to do that.
And the static wallpaper is a feature of Sense3.0.. you cannot get the scrollable wallpaper in Sense3.0 (yet..)..
dang, thanks for the quick reply.
I guess i'll just have to get used to this.
I always figured that rooting the phone meant i could change anything in the ui haha, guess not =P
Hopefully there's a solution to the wallpaper soon. Thanks!
Hi guys,
First post on the SGS2 forum after coming over from the Desire HD section. Got my SGS2 as an upgrade and am pretty impressed so far. Down to business...
I used to use this theme on my DHD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028813
Was wondering if any of the geniuses here could port it over so I can use it on my Galaxy S2?? It's an amazing theme and I'm sure would look great on the SGS2's samoled. Cheers in advance!
Good theme, it would be nice to see it on our SGS2
It would indeed, hoping someone can port it for us all. Have tried another of the Honeycomb styled themes in these forums but found them too overpowering on the blue colour for my liking.
Did you try to just install it? Seems like it has same naming for the graphics as SGS2 themes.
Try to make a back up first though.

I'll do a Nandroid and give it a try. Wouldn't think it'd work though due to it being based on HTC framework and SystemUI, can see this leading to a bootloop.
Yeah I suppose it will. You can port it yourself though, just download stock samsung theme, and this honeycomp and replace all images with same naming on framework-res and systemui. I suppose that would work.
That may be a better option. I'll give that a try later on and see what happens, cheers.
Ok, swapping the PNG's was a no-go - CWM kept telling me there was an error in the zip and refused to flash it :/
Anyone wanna have a go at porting it for me?

this theme is like the @sam´s rom? u can do your own theme based on honecomb doing it with UOT KITCHEN, if u need to deodex first make it with dsixdas kitchen,,, actually its easy to do no command lines, no scripts... only mouse clicks! lol..
if u need some honeycomb icons use....mmm photoshop or similar,,,
