I finally figured out how to change all the backgrounds of all the tabs, but i'm very gentle and understating that the whole process is rather complicated.... Is there no genius/dev that can make an application to change the background picture of all the tabs? Someting like the app of HTC on the setting tab, that you select a picture and it applies to all the tabs.
Just my 2 cents....after a long struggle with the backgrounds......sigh....
i'm even willing to donate if the app turns out good and user friendly!!!
I would like it too.
For example an extra option in Diamond TF3D Configurator or even a new HD TF3D Configurator with a background for alll tabs would be great.
Because i have not figured it out yet.
This is what i got with my try
Hi guys, the search button does not bite.
But I do not want to be. -> [SOLVED] background for all tabs etc.
reading is also an art.......
i believed i already told this, but here we go again:
i already managed the background for all tabs, but there are a lot of things you need to do to make it work, what i was suggesting is that someone smart makes an application that relieves the user of all the manual labor and automates the process.
i guess not a lot of people think this idea is good or even possible.......
The idea is great ! But, i've seen some tutorials to do it... i don't think it's possible to make a PPC app.
We need a Desktop PC app to open manila files, resize background image, resize canvas, save image as manila image, open with another program, do some stuff with hexa decimal data...
Bumping this thread.
I've seen the other one about configuring your own Background Tab, but it seems like too much Ball Ache.
Would be ideal if it were automated through an App.
Any genius developers out there ?
Would be superb if someone could make a app for this!
It could be done, but thats not the one you do in an afternoon. Too many people using too many dirty mods, and taking all that into account, its a bonebreaking job cause you have to take care of that or people will complain. I gave that a thought, but came to the conclusion i'll postpone that.

IMHO that should've been included in TF3D on the first place. HTC included the option for the main page, can't figure out why they didn't make it change all the tabs in the first place.
Seems like this IDEA is already being implemented.

sounds great! i will go take a look!
and it also works great!
so no need for this thread anymore
It must be really frustrating for the devs that create these apps/CABs that people dont spend a little time reading/searching.
If you did, you would see that it is as simple as setting your background wallpaper.
I know its probably a sin to talk about this, however... Has anyone come up with a bootable theme (meaning not with a 3rd party program ie: ahome, open home etc.)
I LOVE LOVE androids functionality and the Cyanogenmod rom layout, however I love the layout and design of the iPhones face.
Is anyone interested or even thinking about wanting to do something like this? If not i understand (as I said its probably a sin to talk about let alone do)
I just think it would be the best of both worlds... I love androids layout design too, dont get me wrong, just a simple question... (please don't flame)
I'm actually in the process of learning to do themes and what not so i'm hoping if this hasn't been done yet, to put out the first and it will obviously be on the "LOVE IT" / "HATE IT" scale where it will be a hit or miss.
anyways thanks for reading and again (don't flame me, this was a question for those who were thinking it and didn't necisarily say it due to people flaming over it )

I think one of the best ways to achieve the iphone look you're going for without having to go thru the trouble of making a whole new theme is just installing better cut, and then just bring your icons to the home screen and using one of the icon packs, such as tenious icon pack, to give that iphone look. Hope that helps. Just a suggestion

Hey, thanks for your input (and not flaming )
That's a great idea and i've seen it done, however putting all those programs onto the phone really lags the g1 down...unfortunatly Cyan's rom is fast but start packing on the programs and it boggs a great rom down lol.
What i'm trying to accomplish is the entire "feel" if you will of the iPhone;
When you click on "Phone" you will see Favorites, Contacts, Dialer, and Voicemail all at the bottom like the iphone,
also when you click on lets say Alarm clock, you will see the layout of the iphones alarm clock setup.
also the browser setup... androids browser is great functionally however, the layout of the iPhones is much cleaner.
So hopefully if it CAN be accomplished I would like to change all of these things to fit the android with the iphone "feel" almost as if you were using the actual phone itself with a few android goodies

No nothing out there right now with that much customized. I dont think some of the things you mentioned are easy at all to pull off, but Id have to assume if anyone could, it would be the devs here at XDA.
It would be much more than just a theme. All of the things you mentioned would require replacement apps.

As a theme maker I can tell you that what you're talking about (replicating phone/browser/alarm clock layouts) is not an easy task without having to edit the actual code of the apps. This is more of a developer territory, you'd be recreating a new app basically. So...no on what you want to do. You can however use one of many iphone skins available on home replacement apps out there.
ok so im trying to figure out how to edit the htc clock widget to open a different clock like desk clock. can this be done?
def's uncommon rom is the only one that i know of that does it. good luck getting him to tell you how. def is one of my favorite dev, i'm not calling him out. all the dev keep there findings to them selves really.
question... how come people don't share there tweeks and hacks anymore?
i remember full threads on reg edits, tweeks, and hacks, that people would share with the world. I actually had threads where i would take requests, and cab them up for people to be able to install easily.
big difference between the WM day to the current droid days.

^be very nice if this were the case. As fully customisable, unique rom, suited to your needs.

i sent a pm to the owner of the rom and i am awaiting a reply back. im not trying to take credit for something i just dont want to have to run beautiful widgets when i spent all the time on making custom flip clocks.

That is a very ****-headed thing to say. I am MORE than willing to help anyone out with reproducing ANY of my mods. I keep nothing secret, and I literally JUST replied to the OP's PM, just before reading your completely asinine comment. My PM box is FULL of questions AND answers with guidance on duplicating mods. Truth be told, I do not POST these modifications and how-to in their own threads for one reason only. I do not have the time to support them.
ok so i can find where the activity is and change it but when i push to the phone nothing changes...

Def, I was not trying to be a **** head and don't see that my post directed anything negative towards you. I was iust stating that a few years ago, members in the Windows mobile forums shared everything. Infact, there were http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/windows-mobile-hacks-tweaks/ forums just for regedits and hacks. I don't find that on the 2010 Android forums.
I didnt mention the guy who posted a zip file that was able to put the 6 bar signal meter in the task bar. He clearly stated that he pulled it out of your Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8758884&postcount=22 Then your reply saying something about you not liking what he did. To me that said the Android developers didn't want the secret out of the bag. It's not just you. I have ran quite a few roms and really liked certain parts, but didn't keep it for the fact that I didn't like other parts. I have searched for ways to get just the good hacks and tweeks, but there just not there.
For the record..... I am sorry Def. I was not saying that your bad for not posting everything you do. I was just trying to say that there's a good chance he will not get the information he seeks. That's just the way Android forums are going these days.
here is a couple thing i would like to add to my roms, but cant find information on them. correct me if i'm wrong, but people just dont share this stuff.
1. 6 bar signal
2. htc clock widget launching vanilla clock
3. app drawer 5 icons wide,
4. battery percentage in battery icon
yes, def's roms have all of these. that is why i run his rom. at least until he bans me from his roms due to this thread.

Well I would like to say he got me started and I found where the attribute is for opening world clock and I have changed it to deskclock but I think I'm doing something wrong with the apk tool because when I push it to the phone and launch it still opens world clock but in the files its self it says deskclock. I wish I knew more about the Android language but sadly I don't and I'm going to keep trying.

i am am really glad to see people like def who is trying to help others instead of just posting there roms.
I am 38 years old, married with 4 kids. i have been on the forums for a long time and know what and how they work. i was not trying to start anything, i love helping people and learning. that is why i like the forums.
i have made 2 apps for windows mobile and never thought of charging for them. one of the apps had over 20,000 downloads. my favorite thing to do was help people learn to make there own.
back on topic....
i would really like to have a zip to flash this htc clock mod. it is one of my favorite parts of def's uncommon rom. i dont have the time anymore to learn a lot of coding. at least i don't think so. kind of new to android so i dont know if it's easy or not. flashing zip files is easy. lol.
^ That would be pretty sweet! Wish everything was easy as flashing a zip.

i use to cab up rededits for easy installs. i dont know if you know what red edits are or not, but many people wouldnt do them because they were tough. cab files were just like apk for android. zip files are just as easy really. maybe someday.

Hey Guys,
I wanted to try something. I think everyone of you has his favourite app or apps. They have a really cool feature or they just look really awesome.
So I had the idea that we could make a list with the favourite apps from the SGSII user. I know there are several websites with tests and everything.
But I think that mouth to mouth propaganda works the best. Especially for "secret" tips.
And that's how it works:
1. Check the list in the second post if your apps are already there.
2. If not then post your TWO most favourite apps. Post the link to the appmarket or the XDA thread. So that everyone can find it easily.
Tips:
-You can write a little description if you want but you don't have to.
-It would be very nice if you could write the category in which the app belongs.
-It would also be nice if the link would direct to a trial or a free app so that curios users can try it.
An example how a post could look like can be found in post #3
I hope a lot of people like this idea so that we can collect a good list with good apps.
LIST
Efficiency-tools
Swipepad
Swiftkey X Free
Vlingo
CircleLauncher light
AppWidgetPicker Read the instructions!
Entertainment
DroidTV Primetime
Health & Fitness
My Tracks
Example post
So I will make the start.
My two favourite apps are:
Swipepad
SwipePad is a launcher panel overlay. With a single swipe action, you can launch anything from within any app.
It's a really simple app but it improves the handling a lot.
and the second one
Swiftkey X
It's a smart keyboard which learns how you type. It even learns slang and dialects and predicts it in the right moment. After some days you don't even have to write a sentence the app knows already what you want to say.
The apps are both from the efficiency-tools category.
favorite app: DroidTv Primetime-without a doubt!!
This app is the best! To have a personalDVR(digital video recorder on my phone ) like Tivo to record every new tv show I want for 9 dollars every six months is a dream of mine. I can watch all my favorite shows all the time period!...
It is better than anything for all those wait times when you are stuck on hold, at oil changes, shopping with the wife etc
I'm typing this from my phone, so sorry about the missing links...
My best apps is Googles My Tracks, and Vlingo... they are just great, if,you have use for them!!

No problem. Vlingo looks quite interesting. But in which way is it different from the normal Google Voice?
for the efficiency circle launcher is a nice app as well

I personally hate this app. I wrote the original launcher widget for android (launcher dock) which used this circle format. This app not only uses the exact same format but when I took a look at the code was simply my code deodexed and recompiled. They didn't even bother to remove my freaking comments.
Have tried to get it taken off the market but Google are useless when it comes to this sort of thing.

I understand your anger but it looks like you stopped development so I leave circle launcher on the list. They are still working on it and they added some new functions.
I hope it is okay for you if not just say it and we can have a look for a solution.
I always install AppWidgetPicker first on a fresh ROM. Great if you have apps with multiple widgets. Does not work on stock launcher and needs to be pushed to system/app.

Hi, searching for a light theme for CM9.
By that I dont mean just the text and icons changed to white or something else, dont even know how that can be called another theme.
Searching for something looking more like HTC sense. By that I mean the colors and such.
Sick of the black and boring colors in samsungs ICS/CM9
Have you tried the big button at the top labelled "SEARCH", try entering "CM9" into it and see what happens.
There it's a sticky in the Android themes section called "CM9 themes".
There's also the play store where if you search for "CM9 theme", it will return a large amount of results.
You can even use a search like Google.
Falling that create your own, there's many guides.
Or are you just lazy and want people to do the work for you?
I could have posted links to all these within the time it's taken to write this, but hey, where's the fun in that!

What is your problem? I only asked a question just if there is. I have been already going through that thread and almost all of those are all dark and have only changed color of the text. Some have made the black background colors a bit lighter.
But if there's none theme that meets my criteries I guess there's nothing to do about it if not making my own. But I am no developer, so Ill have to stick with orig. cm9.
Wat you talkin bout?
I've just given you a lot of options to try and find a theme for your liking.
That's gratitude for ya.
The reason there is no light themes is because it requires editing the manifest to change the default theme from dark to light. But there will always be apps that use the dark theme and need editing so it becomes like quick sand.
I've only seen 2 white status bar themes for CM9. Frost by Sonny in the play store and another called Ghost in the Galaxy Nexus themes and apps forum.
