Im assuming that we would just have to change the size of the images and then just change the font sizes to fit the images. But has anyone played with the HDPI themes to get them to work on our phones and know the perfect size to make them?
They have some pretty good looking clocks but the images are just too big for our phones resolution and it cuts off corners.
Edit: Well I guess if I go with 4x2 widget it works out right. I was trying 3x2 and 2x2 before. I would still like to be able to choose from all different size widgets and not be locked in to 4x2 but I guess it will do for now, until someone comes through with the settings to make them compatible at our resolution.

Not really sure what it is that you're ultimately looking to do, but if you have a 3x2 widget already, you can resize it to 4x2 using either TW launcher and Launcher Pro, as well as others out there...
I guess that coulda been a little confusing. Basically the only way to see the whole clock is to make the widget 4 wide. The only problem with that is that it looks a little small. Like it only takes half the space that it should as a 4x2.
I'm moreso just trying to bring the clock to the max size it can be at each widget size. I'm at my girls for the night so maybe when I get home 2morrow ill try to make the widget show a little bigger to make myself happy. Just thought I'd ask incase anyone else found the mClock widgets to be sorta small

No I havnt had a chance to work on it yet. I will prolly have a little time to try some things this weekend. But Ive just used a different clock for the time being.

I found some nice BBerry Icons but they show up too small on the G1 normally and when I attempt to enlarge, I run into pixel issues.
Can anyone enlarge these icons to look normal on G1?
Blackberry extracted graphics
Nice graphics! I didn't know you could extract stuff from the Blackberry OS... interesting
Are you trying to make a theme out of this? Or changing an icon? It probably doesn't look right because of the image format... I'm not sure.
Maybe you should send this to a theme developer. The only problem is that some of these Blackberry images are too big for Android (like the signal strength, the menu icons, etc).
If I enlarge these images, they will look blurred. It would be great to get the original graphics in vector format so I can scale them perfectly.
It seems like the Blackberry UI graphics were made for readability and looks, especially since the BBs are getting popular.
It would be cool to see a perfectly crafted theme that changes every UI element of Android, but still looks elegant and balanced all around, like the Android 1.5 UI.
This is a pretty good set of images. I'll see what I can do.
P.S. Whoa! How did 2 of your G1s get bricked? Was it Haykuro's Dangerous SPL?
Sweet icons dude....someone shud totally make a blackberry theme

Yeah, the SPL got me (because of my own error though). I'm actually on my 5th, the last one wouldn't let me flash a 1.5 or higher ROM. Lol.
But when I replaced the icons, they were extremely small compared to the android icons. I used the icons from the old deep black theme from RC33 I believe and wanted to make all my icons BBerry ones.
It would be great to have a BBerry theme though, I was just gonna use a Custom Hero theme with BBerry Icons (actually looks pretty hot).
Thanks for the interest though, hopefully someone can make something happen with these.
someone should make a theme with these icons!
I will turn this into a theme for openhome these are great icons and sorry to hear about the bricked G1's

Sounds great. I will be waiting for those. When you make the open home theme, can you upload it here so we can pull the resized icons?
And for the G1's, T-Mobile customer service is great (and my Frat brother works for them) so it's all good. Lol.

Which ones are you trying to enlarge? From the looks of it, you need to be
making them smaller
Most of these are 80x80? this should be no prob and yes I will upload for all of XDA to enjoy You wan't 48x48 right?
I usually use 64x64 but the default is 48x48.
And if you actually try to use the icons, they show up smaller than the standard sized icons... I know the pics say the icons are larger, maybe they get shrunk too far with resizing.

I have been building custom BB themes for a long time, and have more icons in all sizes than you can possibly imagine if you are interested. I also have a good deal of experience re-sizing them- chris aka riffman [email protected]
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 =)

deal. noob question though, where can i make my request? market?
let's see. i hope i can explain this clearly...
i have a static wallpaper i want to use on my evo. currently using king's 2.1 kingdom rom. on most kingdom roms the wallpaper doesnt scroll behind your icons and widgets. it remains still and doesnt scroll side to side as you move from screen to screen. well i have a wallpaper i want to use BUT it makes me crop it and i can only use a small part of it.
i was hoping someone could edit this wallpaper for me (or teach me how, but i dont have photoshop or any editing software on my mac). i want to be able to use the whole thing as my wallpaper. i assume this is sorta easy for a lot of you guys, ive just never really needed to edit a wallpaper before and some direction here would be GREATLY appreciated!
the wallpaper im trying to use is attached.
resized
one is the scrollable version and the other is the one page only unscrollable version, both resized o fit the evo screen

ahhhhh YES!!! thats EXACTLY what i was trying to do! thank you!
If you go into the Android market there's an app called EVO
3D wallpapers. This one is in there and its cropped to the original size. Maybe you can try that first? If no luck maybe you can edit the pic in MS Paint and recrop the pic to 480x800 which is the EVO 4G's native rez. Good luck!
Yes Marty, I built a time machine out of a DeLorean.
can someone resize this to fit the evo 4G screen without scrolling?
I was getting pretty frustrated with how our phones crop the wallpaper these days.
I was looking and looking for a wallpaper template, but couldn't find one. So I made one.
It's in Paint.net's PDN, Gimp's XCF, and Photoshop PSD
The wallpaper I made in the screenshot was using the PDN.
I only made the XCF and PSD for those of you who do not like using Paint.net, I assume they work just as well, but haven't tested them.
If they don't work properly, let me know and I'll try to fix them.
In the Templates.7z package you'll find the blank E4GT-Template.xxx which is 960x800 @ 206ppi
I had read that the stock wallpapers were 960x800, which seems to be the size of the cropping block when you set a wallpaper.
480x800 is the screen size, you'll notice there are (2) 240x800 black bars on the sides, these get truncated.
All you have to so is add whatever image you want as a layer behind the "Box" layer.
What you can see is what you'll get when you set the wallpaper on your phone.
I've attached a screenshot of my phone with a Borderlands 2 style wallpaper I made.
Just for you, I've included the template for it as well: BL2-Blank.pdn
You'll notice a solid red background on the this one, this is to check for gaps.
If there are no gaps, you won't see it when you flatten the image, or just delete it.
If you have more than 5 pages of stuff, you'll need to change the size of the top box for the page indication thing.
This is for people who are stock, or don't have scrolling wallpaper as an option.
Feedback is appreciated.
Enjoy!
If you're running stock, one of Samsung's updates actually disabled the scrolling wallpaper feature - originally, you would in fact make wallpapers 960x800. It's actually one of the reasons I went and rooted my phone - I loved that feature, and I thought it was lame that they took it out.
That being said, this is very useful, especially for those running a single screen setup, or running stock. I haven't made a wallpaper in such a long time - I'll edit one into this post for anyone interested. Maybe a Fallout inspired one?

I got the Nova Launcher from Play while it was on sale, made a background for it using the same template and made some folder backgrounds
The regular grey bar was ripped from the site same as the yellow one I used on the Maya background.
The regular box is made from it.
The Modified images I smoothed the coloring out, and made the orange a little darker, preserving the highlights.
I'm including the background if anyone wants it, and a screenshot of how I used it.
You need to make the dock margins Large.

Hi all,
I asked this in Q&A and haven't seen any responses yet, so I'm hoping to get more traction in here. Anyway, I just upgraded from the Galaxy S to the SIII and am trying to keep the same icon's and theme that I had before, but with the new screen size, all of my icon's are too small. I'm using Launcher Pro so I know how to change the icons I want, I just don't know what size to make them this time. Can anyone tell me what the best size for icon's are for the SIII? I did a quick search here, but didn't see anything that was what I was looking for.
Thanks in advance.
Dave
I'm not sure who or how someone will answer this for you. Without knowing what you mean by matching your theme from your s2, how would anyone be able to tell you the best icon size? The default dpi is 320. That fits five or six across without looking too cramped.
On a side note, I can't think of any reason to use LauncherPro on an ICS+ phone. Nova Prime is only a quarter today. Give that a shot. It's built for ICS. LauncherPro hasn't been updated in over a year.

I use go launcher for the reason they let you decide the icon size up to 200p i believe. To my knowledge there is no one else that does it unless recently.
Give it a go.

danjbry,
Thanks for the response, I guess my questions it probably not asked correctly, and perhaps I am going about things they way I did when the Captivate was out. To sum up what I am asking, what is the size in pixels of the stock icons on the SGS3? My icons I made for my Captivate are 72 x 72 pixels with a resolution of 72. I hope that helps. If not, I guess I could just find one of the stock Icons and figure out the size myself, I just figured it would be a common question/knowledge.
Thanks again,
Dave

Ahhhhhhhhhhh... I get it. Everything I'm seeing says that 72x72 is the proper size for xhdpi, but I've also seen some icon size issues with LauncherPro in the past. I stopped using it on my Atrix 4g last year because it made every custom icon set I used look tiny. And that was on a 4 inch screen.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

No problem. I've actually made a bit more progress. I did a restore of my Launcher Pro settings and it put some Desktop Visualizer shortcuts for direct dial back and those were small, in addition to the dock icons. I re-added the the direct dial shortcuts with Desktop Visualizer and they are the right size now. So it seems it was not a size issue so much as a data restore issue. I'm still going to look into the other launcher you mentioned, as soon as I get done setting things up.
Thanks again for the responses.
