Just wanting to try a new thread on something a little different. I'm loving this phone but always am open to new apps/mods! Maybe this can be a good thread for everyone to check out when they want some new ideas. For example; I'm currently running Jellybomb ver. 14 with Go's Next Launcher. Got me an MHL HDMI cable for about 17 bucks on Amazon which is about the best deal for a high quality cable. Anyway, got some SG Deadzone, N64 emulator, COD BOZ, and some others with the sixaxis controller app for a remote pretty much completely replacing my PS3(with exceptions of course). I've got the screen standby app working well with combo, which I feel is pretty sweet! Anyway, that's just some of what I've got going on but I'm curious to see what everyone's rollin' with! Some underrated apps, cool mods, just different stuff ya know? Thanks in advance!

Maybe just random cool little tips. Like if you're in a game or something that takes up the whole screen you can swipe the top of the screen for the status bar to appear and use it from there. Maybe a lot of people know these but some I'm sure don't.

This is one of the BEST deals for a quality HDMI cable. Best price I've found.

Freakin' sweet. I've gotta try that fake GPS app. Have you guys seen this yet? It's no flygrip but pretty cool for our phone. Phone holder and multi kickstand in one.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I've seen various incarnations of the flygrip. Not that I have used it, but I haven't found a need for it. I was using two hands with the Evo 4g, so the bigger phone hasn't changed how I use it.
FakeGPS is a nice app. Unfortunately, some a-hole wrote it and using with MLB, and MLB updated the app so you can't use it with it. The only thing, many apps are going away from GPS location checking and are checking IPs instead.

The switching on and off is just annoying. The problem is now I can't watch local and national games. It would be nice to see someone mod the app to remove mock location check or find a way to use GPS spoofer without using the mock location setting. Then again, MLB app is nice, but I find the video random quicks since they did do the update to check for mock location setting.
No one else got anything to share? I know There is some good stuff that many people don't know about.

Only new this is this app called Greenify which is nice for the battery (search in the play store)

Almost anything by Kittehface is golden. Here's the ones I use, switching between them depending on the mood:
aniPet Aquarium

Ice Galaxy
Jungle Waterfall (Kittehface)

I'm a big fan of Live wallpaper; it's just something that clearly makes our devices stand out immediately.
i completely agree with you. i like the galaxy ones by that dev, i but it seems to run REALLY slow on my even overclocked G2. depending on the ROM
I use 'Multipicture'. Its not really a 'live' wallpaper, but it acts like one and allows you to set different wallpapers for each screen. Its available for free in the market.
I love solar winds, would live to be able to customize it.
Zoomfield, 3D starfield, plasma.
If there was a waveform mod that allowed you to change the background image and color of the wafeform, I would be very happy in my pants. Does anyone knowbof a music influenced lwp other than waveform and vu meter?
I've been using one called "Shadow Galaxy" made by "maxelus.net" that I found on the Android market. It is one of four Space galaxy wallpapers by maxelus.net. The other three are "Vortex Galaxy", "Ice Galaxy" and "Inferno Galaxy."
All four of the Galaxy wallpapers are free and very nice to look at IMO. Obviously, they use more battery than static wallpapers but I have gotten pretty good battery life while running these. Check them out, they are not my creations but I do enjoy them.
I just installed Night Sky and the Ice and Shadow Galaxy live wallpapers. Shadow Galaxy is my favorite by far. The graphics are stunning!

Any Idea how to capture the screen?
Edit: nevermind with rooted device there are some apps
I found a new one that's downright incredible: Celestial Bodies. The lite version isn't great imo because it's restricted to one view (the one I dislike), but the full version is fantastic, runs like a dream on this phone and doesn't even show up on my battery stats. There's another amazing one called Solar System 3d that has the best graphics I've ever seen on this thing, but it was showing up as 29% of battery use after 6 hours of being unplugged, so I stopped using it. Not sure if that was a fluke or not but worth noting.

I paid the $15 for it just because I saw it as having potential. They just released an update yesterday. I have been running for a few days since switching back to EC05...could not deal with GPS and Reboot issues.
So far the update seems smoother, they said they improved memory management... keep in mind that prior it was always using 80+ megs of ram.
My only grip with it was scrollable widgets and slow load time, now with this widget pack I dont care, but the load time still sucks.
Thanks that's all I needed to hear, I might buy it when I get my hands on another epic (hopefully by next week). I can't live without my scrollable twitter widget and fb widget on launcher pro but its getting old I want something cool and new lol.

Looks kinda cool, but a little cartoonish.
I was looking at the market pictures and it looked cartoonish, I installed anyways just to see why it got good reviews. I guess the cartoon look is an icon pack, because when I installed it doesn't look cartoonish at all. It actually looks really sharp.
I like that it's different with 2 dock bars, 3 row docks at the bottom like other launchers and another in the middle. You can hide the middle bar by swiping down on it. Still messing with it, but it might actually replace my Go Launcher...

I just discovered (a new one to me) ss launcher. It is completely different than any other launcher I've used. Its definitely worth checking out if you are into trying new looks. Its pretty cool to have such a great selection of launchers these days other than the "big 3"- ADW, LP, and go which are all awesome but essentially work and look very similar. Thanks OP for suggesting this one. I will check it out.

1st off I wanna say no disrespect to the devs...I appreciate all the hard work that goes into all the awesome roms...seems that with all the talk of jellybean and without an official ics release that THEMING has taking a back seat..although i am enjoying team rejects change of pace (annihilation is awesome!) And I love the look of miui but I can't get it to work good enough for me to use as my daily,with that being said I kinda long for the days of a DUSK theme or an all white with black letter theme like the GTX rom I had on my TP2 I think these would look sweet on my et4g...anyone willing to work on anything similar to these?

I use the free app ChargeBar (in play store) for a centered bottom status bar battery bar, I use Rom Toolbox to change system font, I use Android Pro Widgets for Twitter, Messaging, Bookmark, and Calendar Widgets...these have different themes and colors available for the Widgets....Here is a link to some of what I did with SsLauncher...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25394812

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.
I am actually a Motorola Atrix 2 owner but have been using this launcher and widget for months now...really enjoy it and read that someone on an HTC 4G device was able to install it as well via CWM. Well my girl has an Incredible 2 and I decided to give it a whirl and whaddya know? It worked. Here's a DB link of mine of the zip: http://db.tt/PxWxjC79 Here's the thread where I got the download link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906402 Enjoy and I would advise a wipe of cache and davik cache as well before flashing the zip. Heres some attached screenshots. If anyone wants to or can make it anymore better or mod it up for the INC 2 device itself, feel free. Hope anyone enjoys it as much as I do!
P.S. If you flick the circles they flip to the other side. Clock being analog one side and digital the other. Weather you can add cities on and on and on...(as many cities as you want.) And the battery's opposite side is a settings icon for a quick setting short-cut. Also fogot to mention that the left side is first page on launcher. Far left is quick setting page and far right is where you can keep adding pages and what not. Preview allows you to swap up pages too. Couple side notes as well are scrolling wallpaper does not work with this launcher. The dock is like stock moto with app names showing without edit option. AND the weather may start out on C° reading so in settings youll have to change to F° if thats your preferrence. IMHO I love the widgets and its so worth it. They're really cool.

Tried installing on MIUI2.3 but nothing shows any different. Is it only 4.0+?

It could possibly be for only 4.0. Try extracting and putting all in system/app and re-permission, reboot. If the weather apk is missing I'll post back with a link.
Edit: Here's the weather APK: http://db.tt/ZPtXm1jc

It wouldn't work on 2.3 but I tried it on JB and it worked. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to modify the dock beyong adding and removing icons, and that makes it a no-go for me. Otherwise, those widgets are baddass!
Thank you!
It's very cool.... I installed it, but found there to be quite a great deal of tearing and the dock is misaligned.. It's a nice launcher though with great home widgets. Makes me not mind trying a RAZR Maxx HD when I get an upgrade. Thanks for this peak. :thumbup:
