Wondering why this forum is not divided in 2 so we get "Themes" and Apps.
I am saying this because I do not care about themes and I am using a lot of patience and energy to scroll through all themes topics.
Anybody here feel the same way as I do?
Thanks.
Staljin
well, i think it's ok that this two categories are together. because the most of apps which are posted here are modded or themed, so i think this two categories fit together.
for original and untouched apps wie got a store, or not?

I've been searching, and don't even really know where to begin to look for this, but I want to change the background on the taskbar and the bottom quick launch. I started making my own custom cab's for hd pics, but the taskbar (genesis energy rom) has the hex honeycomb still in it. Anyone have an idea on how to change this or point me in the right direction? Included a pic of what I'm talking about.
You might want to look around the themes.... section, lots of links to resources, and if you can't find what you are looking for one of the experts will be able to help I'm sure.

There's a section for Android and Windows Mobile that's usually called "Apps n Games". Any chance it can be split into two separate sections? Usually you want to go in there maybe looking for apps and maybe looking for games. The search function won't help in separating the two either. Any chance this can happen? I love XDA, but sometimes it's just a mess of information that needs to be organized a lot more.

+1 for this suggestion.

I was thinking about this at work tonight. I don't know how well received this topic with be either. The purpose of this topic is to consolidate questions from users that are looking for an app that fits their need with suggestions from other people. I know that one person could not possibly know all the apps and games out there. Maybe you could suggest something you have seen, used, or are using now with fellow users that can't seem to find an app that does what they want to accomplish. This does not mean that if someone suggests something, that they have to teach someone how to use the program too (unless they don't mind helping them get set up or warning them about possible snafus). Sometimes there are apps that aren't in the market but on a website somewhere, and are great to have. For example, Music Junk, is a good prog to dl music (cough, cough). Google music junk android and I'm sure you will find the dev's site.
Anyways, I don't know how well of an idea this is but at least it's an attempt to help others out. I will be watching this thread as long as it stays on the first page or two of this section.
There was an app called paul's app of the day, lots of people use it, paul must be a popular guy.. idk.. looks like he's from Madaco forums.. but it did have some apps that we all know already.. but one or two that I never thought to check out. i did remove it after a week or so.. don't like to have too many apps if I don't use them.
AppBrain will suggest stuff based off what you have installed and what other users have installed in comparison to you. If I have x, Y, and Z and you have X and Y it will suggest Z.
FWIW - Paul O'Brien is the founder of MODACO...I follow him on twitter - he's like a Cyanogen in the UK. was big into G1 dev, I think he supports several devices, and did support the Hero when we first started getting roms on it.
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.

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.

Finally a proper answer to my question.
Thank you!
Oh look, it's a thread from page 5 in these forums on 31/5/12

Try using the round things in your head, just above your nose called eyes.
They're amazing pieces of tech, they give you the magical ability of sight.
But dont tell everyone or they will all want some and then were will that leave us??.
