Show Off Your Themes/Desktops

I just wanted to see some of the set-ups some people are running. I saw a thread similar to this on the General Android theme section but I wanted to see if Sapphire users were any better.
Here is my boring, yet organized desktop. The screenshots were taken using ShootMe from the Market. I'm using three windows because I don't like to spread the widgets and icons out.

I invite everyone to try out my Community Hero Mix for Cyanogen's latest 5.0.8 rom. I keep the theme going and is updated in less than 24 hours of the rom release. Including most test versions.

I got the wallpaper from an app called mabilo wallpaper from the market. It has TONS of wallpapers, from abstract designs to cars. It lets you set the wallpaper as your desktop wallpaper without saving it to your card.
One of the most have apps in my opinion.

It is running on any device operates with Cyanogen DS roms (in this case, 5.0.7/5.0.8 and running on G1 and MyTouch devices also known as Dream/Sapphire) which can be done by rooting your device and installing the latest 5.0.8 rom.

Binary... is this still included with the current version of your theme
(the speaker/dialpad/etc. right on the screen)
could I just adb pull the phone.apk and push it on my super e?

If SuperE is Eclair (I assume it is ) then yeah that should work.

Not overly complicated.

It sure is. However you may have to enable it in Settings otherwise you will get the Hero-ish Launcher type drawer.

You can try a fix_permissions but that's assuming that CM 5.0.8's Phone.apk file is the same as that of SuperE. If they aren't then that would probably be the problem. You can try a couple of things though:
Naturally you should do a nandroid backup before doing anything (ANYTHING!)
Try taking the phone.apk and contacts.apk file from my theme (Community Hero Mix), replace the existing files in your current rom/theme and reflash. If you still get force closes then quite obviously the files aren't compatible. Good luck!
Anyway... this is going off topic from the OP's original post. Let's get back on track otherwise I'll have to close or change the topic of this thread (don't want to do that.)

[Q] (Req) Touchwiz 4.0 Port

Is anyone working on proting over touchwiz 4.0? I saw that it has already been ported over to the galaxy s I9000.

We'll wait til our gingerbread has a first release. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll come with 4.0. (doubt it)

Wouldn't work either way since the framework in the Touchwiz 4.0 MOD is removing alot of the basics of the Epic causing boot loops or frozen samsung start ups. For example the basic 4G layout. If you want to make it work you have to manually edit it so it can atleast work with leaky gingerbread. To be honest its not worth it that much since 1) leaky gingerbread might not even be compatible even if its edited, 2) most gestures and features are not included in the mod, 3) it better to save the work time for nexus 4g and porting that or the epic2 framework. Or if you got the coding skills and patience make your own launcher, launchers like launcher 7(status bar and tile layout), Spb Shell(3D interface), and Regina(with nice animations) show that you can pull off UIs similar Touchwiz 4.0 or Honeycomb but it requires time.

[REQ]AOSP Messaging apk

I change themes quite often, but only one theme that I've come across for the Samsung Epic that uses AOSP messaging as opposed the the default "Samsung messaging" (I guess you could call it), is Engraved Blues. I've used that theme for the longest, mostly because it has AOSP messaging. It comes with WAY more user functionality than the limited "Samsung Messaging." Is there anyone that could put AOSP Messaging into a flashable zip? That way, I can use whatever theme I chose, and still have AOSP Messaging. I would really appreciate it if this could be done!
I'd even be willing to learn how to do it. I usually don't request, and tinker with things on my own, but I'd need some help with this one. If someone wants to walk me through the process, I'd be even more appreciative, because I wouldn't have to ask for these kinds of things!

I don't know what you mean by AOSP messaging but Impaler's transparent MMS are flashable zips. They both look and run very well. Give one of them a try. Just download and flash in CWM.

AOSP messaging is I guess stock Android messaging. At least that's what someone told me a while back. There are noticeable differences. Probably one of the most important is the fact that with default Sammy messaging, when messages come in while I'm roaming, they are 4 hours in advance. For some reason, this isn't the case with AOSP messaging. It's really weird. There are also options for vibration types, and you're also able to change the font size of the messages. None of these options are present in Sammy messaging, AND, there are no chat balloons; just color backgrounds.
The MOST important reason I prefer AOSP is because for whatever reason, I cannot pinpoint, whenever I run a ROM with Samsung's messaging app, the phone tends to randomly restart. Ever since I've been using Engraved Blues with AOSP messaging, the random restarts are nonexistent. No reboots whatsoever! My phone has been super stable with SRF 1.1.1 and Engraved Blues. I don't know why it causes those reboots, and I don't have my messaging set to keep a lot of messages. Maybe 50 at the most.
Impaler's transparent messaging is based off of Samsung's Android messaging app and while it looks awesomely sweet, I've had the same unfortunate reboots as it seems to be based off of Sammy messaging.
EDIT: Ok, just noticed this in his thread.
These apps are the 2.2 MMS app, only about 50 times better than Samsung could have ever made it...

Maybe I should give it a try again? I know when he first started posting the transparent messaging app series, I could've sworn it was simply themed Samsung messaging?

I haven't really had any problems with what you mentioned. I would say give it a try. I think you will be pretty happy. His messaging app is always the first mod I flash after flashing a new ROM or theme. If it doesn't work for you, sorry.

I have that same problem with Swype where when I'm roaming all my messages read 4 hours ahead of time. Gets really bothersome. I can't live without swype anymore though.

Alright, here you go guys. Download the attached and flash it through clockwork and you'll be good to go.

Funny thing is that before I installed the Engraved Blues theme, I thought that the Samsung messaging app was standard Android. If I hadn't come across the theme, I wouldn't have known a thing about AOSP messaging. And what's with that roaming problem? Man, that's so annoying! How'd Samsung let that one out of the gate with that glaring problem???

Would it be safe to remove the old apk from system after flashing this? I may or may not be wrong but I seem to remember that caused problems when receiving pictures and the like.
Of course that could've just been on the moment..

The old apk shouldn't be in the system after you flash it.. If it is yes you can delete it.

From what I was told/read it is a Sprint problem with how their devices communicate with the towers used for roaming. So blame Sprint for the problem

AH, zip must only be edify.
All you have to do is go into that zip, take out the mms.apk, and push it to system/app using root explorer.. I've got a video showing how to do that

[Q] Can the line above the dock be removed?

Is there anyway to remove the white line that is just above the dock in the stock ICS launcher?
I'm running my SGN LTE with a rooted stock 4.02 and would really love to see it gone. I don't really mind the blue line that appears briefly when you swipe to a different homescreen.
Any suggestions?

Thanks again.

Apk files are just like zip files I have not done it myself often but just unpack it or change the file extension to zip and unpack it and look for that file maybe

It won't work that way,after you put it in you have to set permissions to rw,r,r like this :
Read the directions in the thread I pointed you to it will explain how to do it and you could re-name the mms apk to SecMms for good measure.Lemme know how it works out for ya.Make sure unknown sources is checked in menu-system settings-security just in case and you have to have read/write permissions in whatever root explorer you are using so when you change the permissions for the .apk it sticks after reboot.

So it doesn't work to do it like this? It worked for the one I have right now replacing it.. but that one isn't inverted.
Also I need to have it as Mms.apk because that is the only way the swipe to message from contacts will work. Also I have a nandroid backup and backed up on my dropbox so its all good.
I'll try to do yours with the different permissions.

So it didn't work.. it forced closed when I tried.. I tried some other ones I found and they all had the same bugs as they had before I changed the permission just now.

If you are on an ICS rom and are looking for an ICS stock type messing app than they are different.The one you posted looks like a cm9 aokp etc.... messaging apk.They look different.A stock ICS mms.apk has the bubbles text.The .apk I pointed you to is a dark background with bubbles txt.Not the standard white background like on some of the ICS roms.

Hey I am still happy that I got pinch to zoom working.. Would be nice if I got a black themed one *and it is easy to do that with the built in one* but atleast I got the important part that samsung derped and didn't do.
Edit: For those that want to apk for if you are looking at this when I post it or via google I have attached it.
Pinch and zoom works, and it works with the contacts swipe to message as of posting of this. (I am on ICS)

Anyone know why the text inside my bubbles are light rather than dark?
