[THEME] Android for WAD2 by Mallman RELEASED!!!!

Now available at www.swampthing.net
*** Notes ***
1. Android doesnt really do that much which I was surprised at.
2. There are 5 screens on this theme and I only use 3 of them so 2 are there for you to get creative with or just delete if you dont want them
3. Android uses a hard "menu" button to bring up its menu so I put a little purple android on the screen to mimic its function
4. The background on this is super widescreen meaning the background spans across 5 screens. really cool feather of android and I am glad I was able to mimic it. If you change the background you will loose this effect
5. Navigation of this theme is as follows:
A. Tap the box with time and such to unlock
B. Swiping your finer up and down on the main screen bring up the apps menu and hides it. Pressing the button also does this
C. Switing your finger left and right navigates between the pages
D. Pressing the purple android toggles the manu on the phone and messaging pages
AS ALWAYS, READ THE FAQ IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FIRST

haha hey are you saying my other themes aren't cool!?!?!?!?!?! LOL JK, it will be available relatively son. real like slowing me down
Well i like your themes very much!! But I want to impress the people with my blackstone with a cool theme and stuff. Not a blackstone which looks like a wannabe iphone. So i can't wait for this andriod which will beat the Iphone theme, I hope !
I will be waiting for your theme!
i have done a lot of research on Android's UI by watching all the videos and screenshots I can find and I have to say that it really doesnt have much lol. I have pretty much completely recreated it. Of course it isnt possible to recreate its browser or contacts lists etc etc etc. One thing I was able to mimic is its "spanning desktop wallpaper". My version has one wallpaper that spans across 5 screens (not the same wallpaper over and over but a 2500x800 across 5 screens)
I am putting in some menus that mimic the small white one on each page that appears when you press the hard menu button on the G1. I am saying all of this so that those of you who have not used an Android phone think I am missing a lot because there isnt much to miss

MALLMAN.....like always buddy, nice looking. When I have time this week, i will jump on your website and check out the themes. Hey quick question. When i try to export my theme or save it, it takes a long.....LONG time. Any ideas? I know that they are saved to the SD card, any way to speed up the process?

Unzip before you save it across to the storage card.

I have downloaded it and have customised it quite a bit...nice trick with the 5 wallpapers looking like a widescreen wally...
Just one small question...dont know why but swiping right for screens on the left brings the screen much quicker as compared to screens on the right...is thr any reason to that or is it just me???
Looks interesting

[Q] Soundboard App - Expression Blend

Hi, I'm new to WP7 development coming from webOS.
I'm trying to make a simple soundboard app through Expression Blend and I've run into a few snags.
I've added the media element and given it a source (even though I'm pretty sure it's not stored locally within the app quite yet). My next step would be to add a play/pause button and a title but this is where I'm getting stuck. I'm going for the same look as when you're choosing a ringtone.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
If any dev helps me, I'll give him/her an idea for an app that hasn't been done yet! Money making opportunity
I'm not sure that support for that is built in. Its probably just a skinned Button.
This seems similar to what you're after, it's just ugly - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg598930.aspx

Thank you for your help, unfortunately it wasn't quite what I was looking for. But luckily after a bunch of tinkering, I figured it out on my own!
I will PM you my app idea because you were the only one to try and help!
Thanks once again!

I made a drumlooper, however the performance of audio is really terrible on xna/silverlight and even the most optimised code did not do the job for me and it will get out of sync easily.
However if your soundboard triggers just one sample at the time or a few its possible, dont expect the live drum performance of an MPC on your phone though...
Feel free to pm me and ill look up the code for playing audio and sampling etc.

Icons

OK, I have a small offer for someone who can help me out. I need someone who knows about icons and changing theme, or someone who has a variety of icons already that can share with me. I am looking for someone who knows how to explain this and can help me change icons and yadda yadda.
Send me a PM if you can help me out and we will be communicating through gtalk. It will only be a small thing maybe on a weekend day where you can help. I would really appreciate it and will donate $10 for your help. Thanks.

[Q] Espire Launcher Tweak/Theme

I am currently using Espier launcher which is great but the only problem i have with it is that some icons just are plain ugly. I tried my hardest, sat down and for the last two days I have been trying to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449283
I just couldn't do it right I don't know what I was doing wrong but something didn't work. It might help too if the above guides screenshots worked instead of saying 404. I was hoping maybe someone with a little more knowledge of .xml editing could either tell me what I am doing wrong or do it for me.
If anyone wanted to do it the launcher.apk can be found here:
http://espier.org/download/EspierLauncher.apk
And the icons that I am trying to add can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?a2z4zqqcllhmzcr
I wanted to be able to have:
~Music icon for Google Play Music
~Video icon for Google Play Movies
~iBooks icon for Google Play Books
~Calendar icon for stock AOKP Calendar
~Weather icon for Google News and Weather application
~Photo icon for Stock AOKP Gallery
~iFile icon for File Expert
~Safari icon for Espire Browser
~All the other icons are self explanatory (i.e. Youtube = Youtube, Twitter = Twitter, Facebook = Facebook)
Thank You so much in advance to anyone that would be able to help me with this!
Give me a week or two and I will try it. I should be able to do it, but time is always getting in the way, sorry bro.

No problem!!! I just try my best to help out the community. Unfortunately ai don't have an Epic anymore, I have another android phone but I will post the themed apk before I test it or maybe I will get the chance to who knows.
If you want me to theme any other apps let me know and I'll get to it!
I know this sounds stupid but, I don't have enough time on my hands where I can do this and make sure it works. The free time I have I am probably whittling or just adventuring outside or doing something I enjoy doing. I hope you understand,
But what sounds stupid is that I am willing to make a video on how to do it, if that's okay with you. If it is I will get off my lap top and go on my desktop, open up camtasia, record it, upload it to youtube, and put a link here.
You can post a thread saying that this is a general tutorial on themeing apps and you can use my video just so we don't have more posts like this, and maybe it'll be a sticky.
My apologies again! And yes I am saying sorry because I shouldn't have accepted a duty I am not able to fulfill. I know it looks weird having me typed all this, but its a lot easier than going through the folders and changing them.
I am not abstaining from doing it, I enjoy working on shtuffs for these phones and all, but I just have other things to do and other things I enjoy more.
I hope you understand where I am coming from. Video will be made by the weekend hopefully.
Although my hands are full ill pick this up just for the sake of helping. Idk what I can cook up but I'll let you know
This launcher looks like a Chinese version of an I phone. What rom are you on. Have you tried miui roms I have some tike tomorrow I can look into this. I'm not as awesome as Travis is at this but. If I can help. Then I am willing.

[APP][LIVE WALLPAPER] FB Home Coverflow Live Wallpaper for Tumblr/Instagram

:good:Hi
My first post here and obviously blatant self promotion so I expect to be flamed but I wanted to gauge interest.
Given the lack of Facebook Home support for the Nexus and the fact I didn't like the way it took over my whole phone I've been writing this live wallpaper that does coverflow type stuff with different social networks.
At some point I'd like to make lots of money from it (obviously) but I've set up a free version on the market for Tumblr and could do one for Instagram if there was enough interest and keep the one that does everything paid for.
I can't attach anything so all I can do is ask for people to search for "SocialWallpaper Tumblr" on the market and hope you can find it!
I'm really interested in hearing what people think so here are some screenshots, a link and the offer to flame on!

I realised I can at least attach some images!
This looks very promising! Would love something like this for instagram though, don't use Tumblr at all to be honest. Hope you can make a few bucks from the paid version. Good luck! (I think you are allowed to link to the app itself on the Play Store)

Gah, that's me trying to rush out the instagram version
Settings work if you launch from the app screen but not the live wallpaper picker. I've submitted 1.0.4 with a fix so that should hit at some point.
Thank you for your feedback, will try and sort these problems out asap!
Linkless links to the apps
Instagram: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mat.socialwallpaper.instagram
Tumblr: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mat.socialwallpaper.tumblr

**UPDATE**
I've managed to test the new release and you should be able to get to the settings from either the app or the live wallpaper settings button for the Instagram version.
I'd obviously like to try and publicise this for other devices but don't want to spam every forum, could a more experienced member please point me in the right direction of where I should post?

Instagram version is working great. Looks awesome
This might be the forum you could post your app? http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=530
I'll give it a shot!
Glad you like it - if you want to shift the profile pics down a bit go into settings and tweak the "Top Padding" a bit. I'm on stock launcher and have it on about 80 to keep it off the search bar, you should be fine with around 30
