(REQ) Ghost Theme

Is there any devs that would be kind enough to create a theme that has everything 80-90% transparent, Icons and all?

Look for the window theme (i forget the name) but its made by dreamsforgotten. its not 100% what your looking for buy you can drop suggestions in his thread. Also the bonsia rom has a nice transparent theme built in.

Thats what I was going to say

Find the super nova rom he has a sweet clear notifications bar and pulldown tab flashable for dk28. I used the second one with the darker shade but the first one is more clear I think.

The transparent theme is coming I want to be 100% with how I'm going to implement it. I'm leaning towards the look of the kubuntu clear windows. froyo window is the theme mystery is referring to. No link, I'm on the road. Its close and took a lot to get it working right but now that I got it figured out, I am working at it but my next theme will be a pink one since there aren't too many for our female (or males if pink is your thing lol) Epic users.

[Q] [REQ]GS2 Touchwiz4.0

This skin is just awesome
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/
Does anyone here think that its possible to get this rom ported to the Evo 4g. I mean all that would need to be fixed are the apk's and a little bit of touch ups here and there. Since the resolution matches the Evo's.
It would be sweet!

touchwiz .... no thanks

The phone looks awesome cuz of the processor, but touchwiz doesnt add much to stock android

Toouchwiz is the only way you can get a decent launcher with 4 icons in the dock and the sms application is very good looking.

HOnestly only thing Touchwiz (Samsung Android Phones Period honestly) has that I wuld be interested in is the music player.
Outside of that, I'll pass.
But for those who like it, I think it would be awesome for them.
This is XDA, just about anything is possible!!!!

I couldn't agree more...

Hold on guys, I think Touchwiz 4.0 is something different. The live tiles, widgets, zoom effects, etc are pretty nifty. 4.0 looks nothing like Touchwiz on current Galaxy devices.

Touchwiz 4.0 doesn't look quite as bad.
It looks as if they have abandoned those dreadful taskbar icons? That would be a huge plus

Try ADW EX or Launch Pro. You can download different launch bars and add your icons as you wish. So TouchWuz isn't the only launcher that can handle 4 or more icons.

they all copy each other, now its just common knowwledge. people should be willing to share or copy what works. It just gets absorbed into common practice which is for the best for everyone

Have to admit that is pretty impressive I stand corrected.

Watched a couple of videos. I don't like it. At all. I like the phone though.
This should probably be moved to Q&A, nothing developmental about it.

LOL of course things are stolen from Sense. It's getting hard to find original ideas anymore but who DOESN'T steal ideas from other companies? And I told you guys TouchWiz 4.0 isn't bad; but we can all agree that the current TouchWiz is just garbage.

Want this. whats the legality?

Seems like quite a few people are at least intrested in it.
So how long do you guys think it would take to port it to give it a test run?

I think it was ported to the current generation Galaxy S phones and was still buggy. I would imagine it would be even more buggy on our phones..
Would definitely like to take it for a spin tho..

I can imagine there is one or two developers that would like to port this. May I suggest Virus or Sac23 (and teamwin). They are the big names when I think about porting things that shouldn't be on our phones.
Good Luck
By the way TW 4.0 is pretty awesome
EDIT: Oh also if you can find a system dump for the Galexy S 2 it would proably help with the porting progress.

[Q] Touchwiz vs....

So Ive tried all kinds of launchers out there. And after a few weeks or so I keep finding myself going back to touchwiz. I'm always reading how people hate touchwiz but Im starting to thing that its the best launcher.
I was using GOLauncher for the longest but it just doesn't feel as nice as touchwiz.
What launchers are you using that you think is better than touchwiz?

I'm using ADW Launcher. Right now, I have 4 icons of my choice on the bottom, to go to my App Drawer, you have to swipe up, and swiping down anywhere brings the notification down, so I don't have to reach all the way to the top.
I think the real thing is TouchWiz vs MotoBlur vs HTC Sense. I don't really mind TouchWiz, but I really do lyk being able to swipe up for the app drawer. BTW, I really prefer HTC Sense. It's so awesome.
Also, TouchWiz uses a lot of resources. That's also a reason why the Vibrant isn't getting ICS with TouchWiz. TouchWiz has too much going on with it, which slows the phone down.
You probably won't notice the slow down, unless you change your ROM and use an AOSP ROM. (Vanilla Android)

I don't think the epic 4g touch will ever slow down. Touch Wizz home screen is hardware accerrated which means scroling side to side will be made smoother than a non HW accellerates launcher (tecknically). How ever i have used GOlauncher PRO which isnt HW accellarated and its practically just as smooth even though on any phone of lesser hardware it would be noticably laggier. This phone just powers through with ease how ever. Eventually i went back to touch wizz because its simple and works flawlessly and isnt bad looking (unlike how i feel about how htc sense looks). OP i went down the same exact test road you did and honestly Touch Wiz is my personal choice. Its really up to you and what style you like. This phone will breeze through any aftermarket launcher wether its HW accellerated or not. I would suggest dooling around and testing several out. There lots of different tweaks that ADB launcher and GO launcher offer that Touch Wizz doesnt. But i love how simple and easy it is and looks.
Oh FYI HTC Sense and MotoBlur arnt available for a samsung phone. Honestly i prefer Touch Wizz over sense any day after using sense for over 2 years. I know you were asking for what launchers people think are the best. I like stock the most but have done TONS of research of after market launchers and it seems the the one you and i have both already tested GO Launcher Pro is by far the most widely used and the overall favorite for after market ones.

The customizable dock and gestures are a large reason I like the look and feel of GO Launcher EX over TouchWiz. I even played some with ADW, but still like GO Launcher slightly better. It may be because I'm an iPhone convert [FREE AT LAST!] and felt I could customize GO Launcher a little more to match things I'm used to like sideways scrolling in the app drawer, etc.
Haven't compared speed too carefully, but it seems as fast. I recently rooted, put down the Blazer ROM, and overclocked, so either way it's blazing.

The newest iteration of ADW EX is the best launcher experience I've ever used: To me, even better than Go Launcher, what with the new ICS-like interface.
That's one of the apps that I'm so glad I paid for, as the dev is totally on his game as far as updates and cutting-edge releases go.
There's a reason that Teamdouche included ADW as part of CyanogenMod for all that time:
It works REALLY well, and has enough customization out-of-the-box that even those guys basically said "Yeah, this'll work fine for us."
That speaks volumes, to me.
ADW EX ftw, for now, and for the foreseeable future, as well.

I have tried them all. But I still don't care who knows it but I like touchwiz. And I'm not just talking about replacement launchers. Blur/sense/aosp they all suk.

Sorry about that. Ment to also put that it does have a 5app dock also. Give it a try,this is what stock outa the box should be. Samsung needs to fire there whole R&D department and hire some of the dev's here on XDA.

One last thing. Have you tried to hold your finger on the bottom page indicator dots and slide your finger? It will move through your pages super fast but not so fast that you cant see your apps. I feel this much faster than any scrolling app drawer. Just my two cents. It works the same on the home screen also.

You can accomplish this UI with the current apps on the playstore... Desktop Visualizer, Widget Locker, Multi Live Wallpaper and a little Gimp/Photoshop to make the wallpaper and some time... boom you have a very basic UI I think sharp isn't going to go anywhere with this.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Nexus CDMA using xda premium

I don't get why they put icons inside of squares. Its like putting an icon inside an icon which leaves you with a 3 column app tray. Think about all the scrolling you'd have to do.
The lock screen is cool and I'm sure the app store will have something similar soon enough.

its similar, use multi-live-wallpaper and set crop to "Fit to screen" (this is my version of it) if anyone wants it. I personally do not like this UI but I thought i would take a step toward what some ppl want. Ill make the icons 2mrw if you guys want em. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffkbkwgxqvm681a/FEELUI.rar Enjoy!

this is more than just a home screen transition.
nothing out there (that i have seen at least) gives you vertical scrolling on the home screen as well as horizontal scrolling.
also, the lock screen is more than just a widgetlocker theme. the clock wont be on the bottom, and it wont scroll, the lock screen wallpaper wont scroll, you cant slide the lock icon up, and get the options, you dont get the nicer looking missed call/mail/sms pop ups.
this goes MUCH further than just some skin.

I just read an article about this from The Verge and i'm intrigued. The developers created Next interface and seem to be onto something. They feel the desktop is an unnecessary step to get to the app tray. Fair point, why have a bunch of apps then hit a button to get to your other apps? In the quest to be pc-like, Android has a desktop and widgets. Great, but I do see the point being made here. Oh, and notifications were redesigned.

With all those mods or Widgets running, doesn't it eat your battery?

Not really any more than having Sense or something like that on your phone, its more of a kernel thing and we have some great evo specific kernel devs over here, you just have to find a pure AOSP rom without all the Sense, TouchWiz, Motoblur overlays, then just add your own Widgets icons launcher dialer keyboard font over that and create your personalized interface the way you want it....

was gonna post this elsewhere, but here's as good as a place as any i suppose. for those that want to mess around with theming here's a great place to start. it's a vrtheme template for our phone. It should work with most roms. here's a link with some quick info and the download link with our updated binary. all thanks to the villianrom team for a great template/idea

basically instead of having to decompile and recompile apk's and have a complete and working apk to flash, this only requires that you place the images, xml's etc in the correct folder structure. everything is in the vrtheme folder in the zip. so to theme a system app, say systemui, you would create a folder called SystemUI.apk in the correct folder structure, namely vrtheme/system/app/SystemUI.apk. then all you have to do is drag and drop the images you want swapped into the proper folder locations. I included an example folder structure for images in drawable-hdpi for systemui and framework-res to get ya started. beauty of this is you can literally drag and drop whole sections of other themes into the template and it will just replace those images on our phone. So if those themes in the OP have same sized images and same names, you could just drag and drop those into the respective vrtheme zip folder and flash away. Make sense? just starting to get this going again on our phones, so mess around, but be careful, I'm obviously not responsible to anything you do
it can also be used to theme paid apps, which is sweet. since your not actually including the apk itself, and the app has to be in the location specified before you apply the theme.
