Hi there,
yesterday I´ve flashed to Oxygen 2.0.3.
Then I´ve installed the live wallpaper (PhotoWal) I was using when my Desire was on original HTC Android 2.2 rom.l
But it looks like that PhotoWall has some problems under Android 2.3.3. It steadily crashes and after this the background is black. But after it has been crashed I´ve noticed that the Phone speed has increased very much. The animations are so smooth that it looks similiar to the iphones animations.
Then I thought about creating a small picture which is just black and use it as standard wallpaper (Maybe it would be as fast as without a wallpaper loaded).
Unfortunately this hasn´t worked... the speed is pretty slow if I compare it to the setting without a wallpaper.
I don´t want to load the PhotoWall wallpaper and waiting for a crash all the time, so... does anybody know if it is possible to deactive the whole wallpaper?
I know that it will look kinda naked but I really like it because it is reacting very very quickly.
Thanks in advance!

I use this file, created with MSPaint.
I have read that having black backgrounds also improves the battery life.

Yes it does improve because amoled doesn't use power for black pixels. That's what I heard anyway.

I've been using myPhone for a week, it's pretty cool... but I don't like installing 5 things to use a theme...
So trying to get an idea of what you're using.

There's the link btw, an iPhone knockoff.
I am using my own that I made and it includes Fizz Weather.

I am using a Mod I made of the iPhone theme you posted.
You can see it here

Yea, it works great. It was a little slow when you'd first startup, with the generic HTC rom... but with overclocking, or the new Rogers rom, it's fast... I don't know what atom life is?
goraps, what's all different in your version? I don't use my calendar at all... i see you have an icon for the comm manager (i'm assuming)? that's cool, i'd use that alot.
The media, and web icons different also?
The Waltzb theme is two screens the time and the icon screen. Mine is three I goes from the Time screen to my calendar and then to the icon screen. You are right I also added the Comm Manager Icon and made it link to Comm Manager obviously. I should note that the calendar 2nd screen came from the iDash theme from the Facade forums as well here is the link http://forums.sbsh.net/index.php?showtopic=14918
I just sorta put the two together.
This one is for Blade Themes and Applications!
Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.
Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,
There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

... or make it using UOT Kitchen.
Hopefully this is in the right place to post, but I had to share this for those that never heard of this live wallpaper.
Its easy on the battery since there's not alot moving, and overall just a nice informative wallpaper to have.
There's a free and paid version 65cents? Paid version doesn't really offer to much more than the free one, besides choosing a background and different color fonts and making the font move. But at 65cents not a bad deal I suppose.
Its called WP Clock on the market.
i just love WP Clock..
May I ask if anyone knows what is the widget that looks like the wallpaper with the clock and the tine n stuff but its a widget instead of a wallpaper.

Is this what you're looking for?
Been using this for a full month by now. It's by far the most useful/pretties widget replacing wallpaper I've yet to use.
And for its price, it's a steal.
this thing rocks... LOVE IT!!!
just bought wp clock and i must say it looks fantastic. one thing abt it though, i don't like how its a wallpaper so every homescreen's filled with the thing. really need the space on other homescreens for other stuff. if only they could make this into a widget. typoclock looks similar but i love the data connection and battery info. i tried using multi live wallpaper to have multiple wallpapers simultaneously but it doesnt support using a live wallpaper and a normal one from the gallery. so i guess im stuck, or has anyone found a solution for this yet?

the developer is really good at taking and implementing suggestions... I asked for drop shadow, but he wasn't able to figure that out, so he did the outline so I set my text to white (40% opaque) and outline to black (4pt 80% opaque) and it's almost as good as drop shadow... definitely gives enough contrast to where you can read it no matter what your background is... tell you what, I would actually like the same thing, so I will request it as well, and maybe we'll get it twice as fast =)

Hi!
I'm a bit confused. All cellphone websites say that the wallpaper resolution should be 960x800. But my DHD wants to cut my wallpapers, no matter what resolution they are.
Do anyone know why that is?
BTW I'm running stock rom and everything.
When selecting a wallpaper have you tried pressing on the sides of the green square that appears? Arrows will appear and you can drag to re-size
960x800 wallpapers look great on the DHD.
Oh for the love of -.-
Thanks, that did not occur to me at all.

No problem! Sometimes it's easy to overlook the simple things!
after scouring youtube and finding nothing Im going to rely on XDA , anyone care to show off with video of their customisation, the S2 has no notification light, not a great launcher and a pretty janky looking lockscreen - otherwise seems a beast of a phone, would anyone care to show off? I would love to know if the very few shortcomings of the device software (and the led deficiency) can be fixed easily with third party software
pretty please?

sounds good but coming from a htc hero I love being able to glance at notification light when I enter my office again and know without waking the phone if i got anything new...
of course, you could show off the combo via some juicy 24fps streaming goodness ... ?

wow , that looks slick! I don't know the default lcd density for S2 but I assume that 202 was to fit more on screen? smaller fonts etc?

Default density is 240, 202 is indeed smaller fonts and icons so you can fit more!
202 Seems a bit strange, It might look better at 200. By my calcualations the effective pixel numbers around there work out
