[WAD2] WVGA concept theme (PRETTYYY!)

Hey guys!
First of, I am NOT the maker of this and don't deserve any credit for it.
Just thought I'd share this with all of you.
You will need Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 for this to work.

Hi there!
First of all I would like to thank destri for designing an awesome theme for WAD2 and giving me permission to release a modded wvga version of his. You really brought the "wow" effect to a whole new level ^^
You can find the original "Concept" by destri over here.

INSTALL
- Unrar the concept wvga file to your desktop.
- You'll see 1 map and 1 wadesktop file.
- Inside the theme-folder you'll find the following folders: weather big and weather small.
- Copy these 2 folders onto your phone (It doesn't matter where, since you can assign these by going to your settings in WAD2)
- Install concept.wadesktop as you usally do with wad2 themes.

Heh no problem, thought you didn't mind. I also mirrored it as most people don't really like the rapidshare links, you could add the mirror to your original post aswell if you want. Yeah I read that in the original post, really waited a long time for the WVGA version of the concept theme as it just looks awesome. Flashing my device now to a very stripped ROM and gonna install it. , how are interface transitions and such at the moment?

Everything is pretty responsive. Although not as fast as the original for the omnia...but still fast enough for me.
However when going from the lock screen to the home screen, wad 2 might not respond for like 1 or 2 seconds (dnno why )
So please have a bit patience so you won't be tapping around your screen (and so opening apps or tabs you don't want to open )
Mirror added btw

Alright great. Well the looks alone will make it worthwhile . Currently at hard-resetting my device and then I'll get to installing the tens of cabs that I have x.x.
Whats the res for the Manga and FMRadio pictures btw? Want to put something else there.
You done a really great job mate, looks superb!
---EDIT--
Okay... I just got out of bed to say this... this is officialy the most AWESOME theme I ever used. I get completely smooth transitions so it might just be your HD or rom you have (have the stock rom?). It's just superb, now I'm off to bed again to map all the buttons to the correct programs but really... this is just insane, I'm speechless. It's beautifull!
A thousand times thanks dgen, if you ever need anything just send a PM, I feel like I'm in your debt.

Can someone please direct me how to install this theme for WAD2? For some reason it is not showing up in my themes when I go into WAD. It's been a while since I've used this application, but after seeing this theme I'm dying to give it a try!
Thanks for any help I may get!

Go to the .wadesktop file and run it, this will install the theme, then when you go back to the themes page scan for themes and it should show up.
Hope that works, don't have wad on my phone at th moment, but will be for this!
Looks great, thanks to all those involved.

Youtube vid added in first post!

I same this theme....only one word for it: awesome. But i have never used wad before. I already purshaded it and i installed the theme, but when i tap something i get: error loading shortcut or lacating the target filename. This happens when i play music, try to open manga, open callender and probebly even more.
An other question: how can i change some things? since i also dont use manga or fm radio. What i understood so far is that i should change the picture and create a shortcut to the right application????? Would be really nice if someone could explain to a newby

holy sh** thx for sharing I was waiting for this theme
look so cool!! ^-^

@ antrak

Did you copy the 2 folders onto your phone named, weather big and weather small? If you did, go into your settings in WAD2 and under the icons tab you can browse to where you put those files for both large icons and the small icons.
Hope this helps!

You are getting the error because you need to assign your own apps to the links. You can do this by holding your finger (or stylus) down until you get a drop down menu. On this menu chose "Author Mode".
Once you're in author mode, be careful because it is very easy to mess up the position of the pictures and text. You can move everything around when you're in author mode. I would advise taping and holding down again to bring the drop down menu up so you can chose the "Lock Items" option.
So now you can tap and hold on a link you would like to change and go into the properties of the link. Then go to the "Script" tab. You can change what program is launched here by choosing your own app.
Once you've played with WAD for a while you'll get the hang of it. It is extremely customizable so have some fun with it....as you can see with this beautiful theme!

The customization is overwhelming... it's driving me a bit nuts. But that's a good thing.
For some reason for me the weather forecast thing doesn't work at all, the dock doesn't show up. There's no script to bring it up. So I added the script myself to show page_forcast, but it just shows numbers and no images, even though I already specified the weather big/small in the options, I copied the weather big/small folders both to mem stick and phone mem and tried both locations in options, both don't work. Any help?
p.s. what's with all the extra folders included in the theme folder? are you supposed to do anything with them?
EDIT: Nvm I re-installed it all and it works great now... customability is crazy, you and pretty much make any GUI possible. Only dream now is to make phone faster overall, but for that HTC needs to use better touch screens and hardware.

Hi all,
what a great Theme!
I made another image for Photos, instead of the Manga image.
I just do not use anything of Manga...
I hope you like it....i do:
i guess you all know how to change it...otherwise let me know.
I also changed the Manga text in the following:
It looks like this then:
i edited my own text here...so if you apply the image above you get 'Show some Photos'. You can make it you want in CS3
Hope you enjoy.....
See it as an addon... not a replacment...all the credits for Dgen

Anyone Using Tasker?

Anyone here using it? what is this app for? is it worth buying? does it give u battery life? im really interested but i cant find no videos on it on youtube. please share your thoughts.

I have it because it's the only app Ive found that can turn the GPS on remotely. I have it set up to turn on the GPS whenever it receives a certain text msg and then text back the phones location.
It's really useful once you learn it, plus the GPS feature alone is well worth the money.

I'm just about done with my week trial and I will probably wait to buy it. Android 2.2 drops the ability to kill apps which is a huge deal breaker for me when it comes to this app. The author has stated that a fix for root users is possible, but it's not high on his todo list.
That being said this app it great for automating things. When I plug in my car charger the phone automatically sends calls to speakerphone, reads any incoming texts out loud, turns off the display timeout, goes to auto brightness, and loads my speedometer app. Now if only it could kill the app when I unplug the phone!
Sent from your mom's phone.

I've been using it for about three weeks now. It replaced several other apps that were not playing nice together and does much more. I noticed an improvement in battery life, but that could also be because I am running fewer apps now.
It can either increase or decrease your battery life. It depends on what you have it doing. Check out the Power page on the website for more info.
I mainly use it for changing settings based on location. Different profiles for home, work, in the car, and everywhere else.
I did find that it is better to use network location for "Near" which then enables the GPS location for "At" to save battery and yet still get precision.
I also have it setup to do things based on battery level.
The coolest is that I have a profile based on plugging in the headphones that brings up a list of media players. No more poking around just to listen to music.
Overall I am very happy with the app.

I've been dying to ask this of someone who's played around with it - I'd pick it up and try it myself, but just can't swing it right now.
Do you know the issue with Google navigator pausing Pandora tracks? Would it be possible to set up a profile that would fix that? Something like "if nav pauses Pandora, when nav stops talking, hit play in Pandora"?

I haven't tried it yet, as this is the first I've heard of Tasker. But, if you go to the website:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/index.html
you can download a trial good for 7 days. The developer even says you can uninstall and reinstall if 7 days isn't long enough. So, I'm going to try it out myself.

Sorry, confused. What does any of that have to do with tasker? Are you asking about task killers?
Sent from my blah blah blah blah

Well, i am a tasker user and love it. it can change and setting your phone has, well almost, but still more than an other app like it. Locale is far less useful and costs more. The other one i forget its name i have not used but tasker from what i read pwns it. I recommend this app for anyone who needs to tell the phone to do things automatically or based on locations.

it has nothing to do with tasker, which is a cruddy app anyway. i thought my post was perdy clear... 2.2? you cant kill apps... unless your rooted? ? ?

Then I guess the confusing part is why you posted that comment in this thread..
You have an opinion about tasker, and you post here about task killers (irrelevant to the thread topic) and don't even offer an answer or your opinion about tasker to the OP..
And yes, you are correct about FroYo making Task Killers useless. You can still use them to manually kill off apps but apparently the kill-all intervals don't work like they did on 2.1
This is getting OT of the OP, but if you want a task killer on 2.2 then check out the app "autostarts". It's not a task killer, it's a task preventer. It's pretty cool and works great.

been using Tasker for a few weeks now and i love it. and i'm still playing in the shallow end of what it can do.
configured quiet times based on if i'm oncall or not. also to toggle radios based on gps zones. (and to ensure i have a work appropriate desktop image )

man you arent looking to make friends. every post i see from you, you are acting like a true ****. maybe you should calm yourself and be a little considerate of the other people on the forum and stop with the act.
As for tasker. I agree with many many others that have said it is a great app once you get it set up. I have it do mostly basic things such as when car charger is plugged in turn on bluetooth start navigation app. when near work turn ringer to vibrate and turn media volume down. when home turn ringer on media volume on and wifi on turn bluetooth off. stuff like that. I havent noticed it giving me extra battery but i love that i dont have to remember to mess with all my settings.

You could always try posting something relevant to the thread that you're posting in, or possibly starting a new thread on the subject that you wanted to discuss, instead of bringing your off topic complaining here...or hey, even acknowledge that people answered your off topic questions pretty well, and gave you some leads. Oh, and I love how you brought Obama into a tasker thread. What's next, godwin? At least you now realize that you should search first, and ask questions after. Which is good - it shows that you can comprehend some things if you put your mind to it.
Anyway, back on topic. I've started to play around with the different settings and profiles that tasker gives you, and the only thing that's become clear to me is why they give you a weeks free trial. Damn! This app has a lot of options!

someone. somewhere. brought up the fact that froyo took away the capability to kill tasks (unleas your rooted, right?). my question is perfectly legitimate, and i think with the topic at hand is qualifying of a question about my original question. i didnt get hyped or flamed up in anyway. my OP was crystal clear, mirroring a statement someone said earlier, and the person confused it aint my fault.
your robosnapdragonintelligant mr.obama vs. godwin analogy
ok, now im a d!ck

Yeah, that was me, I came right out and said I was confused as to why you were bringing it up in my other post (all polite like, I might add), because you didn't use the quote feature, and I missed where it had been mentioned before - it looked like you just started talking about some random topic in a thread about tasker. Instead of clarifying that it was brought up in a previous post, you got all internet tough on the thread, and it all went down hill from there. See that? Simple misunderstanding.

XDA Gallery - Chrome Extension - Now on Chrome Store

What is it:
This is a quick extension I coded up to turn XDA threads into an image gallery. The extension button will enable when you're on a topic that it is able to translate, clicking it will open a new tab that dynamically fetches images as your scroll down. Keep in mind this is an Alpha, did it in one day, so it may ( read "most likely" ) will have problems. Its great on those "Post your screenshots" ( wallpapers, cases, whatever ) type threads.​
Permissions:
- "Access your data on forum.xda-developers.com" - This is to fetch images from the forum, I haven't messed around with removing it since I was just using this personally but decided to release to you. Promise I don't care, nor gather, anything about what you do on XDA.
- "Access your tabs and browsing activity" - This is to detect when you switch between tabs and enable/disable the extension button. Also I do have this hooked into Google Analytics now, but I only gather extension page views to see what's being used. In the future I'll be hooking it into events as I add features( if it's popular enough ) to decide where to put my efforts. No personal information is collected.
- "Storage": Allow extension to save Extension Settings.​
How to Install:
New: Added to official Chrome store now just add via https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xda-gallery-beta/bohmnlfnbncjhpjagccfgblhcdgicdnp​
Reporting Bugs:
If you'd like to report bugs then please give me the thread you had an issue with, and if you can narrow it down to an image then link to the post containing that image ( if it's working, there is a link under each image to bring you to the post. ).​
What's Next:
Currently the extension will start showing images from the forum page you launched it from. Going to implement a way to jump to the beginning or specific page.
Implement scrolling upwards to load the previous pages images, this is needed for the next item.
Lots more ideas for "community" type features But gotta get the basics hammered down first!
Change Log:
3/15/2013
Added an "Advanced" options section allowing you to override the number of images and fetch all of them. ( If it doesn't work correctly on some thread blame mon5trum, he requested it )
Some bug fixes
3/9/2013
Now when viewing images in the popup you can click to view prev and next, or just use the arrow keys to navigate!
New Extension Settings page, styled to blend in and match chromes style for settings.
Setting to adjust the minimum number of images to fetch( Careful here as it wont render any images until it finds at least this number, could take awhile if you try and use on a thread that doesn't have many images ).
Setting to turn on debug mode ( Will show logging in the Chrome console. NOTE: I'd leave this disabled unless you need to troubleshoot an issue as it could slow down logic a bit )
3/7/2013
Lots of fixes and enhancements in this one.
First off, thanks to Pooley! He is an awesome guy, and very talented. Thanks to him with have a great, professional looking icon!
Aspect ratio is now respected
Added image zoom capability
Now identify images with broken links and shows in small window( as to not break scrolling functionality for now )
Images should also layout nicely in a column format
Fixed quite a few bugs( hopefully without creating new ones )
Hmmm... seems like there should be more, but I'm too lazy to look at my commit log, so just check it out
3/2/2013
NEW: Now on the official Chrome Web Store
Starting to work on the look a bit, its still pretty ugly lol... What can I say, graphic design isn't my thing, but it'll get better
1/27/2013
Pretty much a complete rewrite
Fixed loading duplicate issues
Better error handling( Will tell you when it's reached the end of the thread )
Asynchronous loading should now be working correctly
Do you find this useful? Click the Thanks button to send me some encouragement... Or if you're feeling really generous buy me a redbull to keep me going at the keyboard ( If not, no worries, it's hardly expected )​

Like I stated in the OP, it's really hard for me to help you unless you give me the forum topic URL that you tried to open with the extension. Get me that and I can take a look at what's going on.

Didn't use anything that would exclude Linux, I'll have to look into that.

Been awhile since I updated this, but did a complete rewrite of the extension, should now be working much better. Replaced attachment with new extension and added changelog in the OP.

Now in the official Chrome Web Store Click here to install

That's an awesome feature mate !
If you want I can made an active/inactive icon suggestions for your extension

Awesome !
Definetly Cool!
The first thing you should fix is to show the pictures in the correct ratio cause at the moment it looks like this:

Yea, that would be awesome... I'm sure it'll come eventually( *fingers crossed* )

It doesn't work if the page contains a gif. But gifs are shown in the gallery though.
Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38762538#post38762538. And i think sometimes it also happens if a gif is present in a user's signature.
--edit--
It's working now. Seems to be haphazard.

Chrome store just told me Android not supported...

Ok here is the icon. first attempt. zip contains psd + png (512, 38, 19).
Will try another way as I don't see clearly the pic on 19x19 res. But it's a first try, tell me more about color, about shapes what do you eventually like to see in the icon.
FYI no active/inactive as the inactive will be the greyscaled version of the active one

OK second try
I like this one (minimalist and easely recognizable even in 19x19) what do you think ?
Also attach a zip with psd + png (512, 38, 19) ON/OFF mode

Team Black Out Presents.... The Dark Side....Blacked Out Apps

Click the quote above to access the site
Team Black Out is made up of some of the best of the best in the industry when it comes to making Blacked Out Apps and Transparent Apps. We decided to team up and release the largest list of Blacked Out Apps available and add to it as often as possible. Our goal is to offer an ongoing list of apps that are updated as soon as possible after the stock app updates by letting just 1 person update it rather than 3-10 of us doing our own thing and ultimately ending up with the same end result.. an Inverted app. So, by doing this, we will be able to branch out and get the list to over 100 apps in time! Many of us have been doing this for over 3 years and some have just began their journey to the Dark Side but we are a team and will work together like a team. The veterans will help train the new-comers how to start from scratch and fully Black Out an app by editing xml lines, drawable images and smali classes files. On the site, we have guides available and will add more of them in time. We announce the Team over a month ago and now the day is here!
T-BOTs are the Team Black Out Testers. When we update an app or start a new one from scratch, we can put anywhere from 20 minutes to 10 hours into 1 app for all of you and then testing that app can take 10-60 minutes and we don't use every app we Black Out so we're bound to miss some hidden things. Well, this is where our Loyal T-BOTs come into play. Once we update an app they get busy looking for issues for us. This gives us more time to be able to update more apps, start new apps or just have some non-android fun. So make sure you thank the T-BOTs when you get blown away from how amazing these apps are!
Obviously this style is the most popular. We don't theme our apps with images but rather Invert the Colors so you'll have Dark backgrounds and Light texts. This is very popular and has become something that many avid Android users have come to thoroughly enjoy so we will do our best to give you more of what you love!
Transparent apps have become more popular the last year or so and some members of the Team have been offering them for a while now. Our transparent series of apps are called Clear Apps. Being able to see your wallpaper while you're using your favorite apps is just cool! We'll be offering our own wallpapers soon for you to use!
Ok kids... click on "Welcome to the Dark Side" at the top and it will take you to our official Team Black Out website! All downloads are hosted there only to keep track of everything. If you've used any of our apps in the past in your Aroma installers or in your ROM, you can still use them. Link back to our SITE wherever you post our content tho. Do not post something in a different forum using our work and then PM us to let us know and hope it's ok with us.... It isn't. Ask first and we'll work with you but ask for forgiveness and we have a problem.

@TeamBlackOut
do you mind making the banners smaller? They make the page wider

Nice and clean. Just what I was looking for on my N7 for my Facebook app. The blacked out Pandora is kick ass too. Good job.

Thank you. Ive been using rujelus22's and B-boys inverts. And now that they are together with DJDarknight in Team Blackout, I couldnt be more excited. These guys are the Real Deal, great Devs and great apps. Inverts and clears for everyone

Previews would be nice, instead of humongous banners.

I love feedback when it's useful, but why not just click the link and see the previews. Not really wanting to clutter the OP with screenshots when our site has them already. Plus we have over 30 apps. If it's not complains about banners we would get complaints about to many screenshots..etc. But like I said I like feedback so thank you for your opinion.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Okay, not to sound like an ass, and I do appreciate the work that has gone into these, but.. instead of having massive banners, you could have had previews. With banners as big as those, you can't really say you didn't want to clutter the OP.

Lmfao, I understand. I actually didn't make the OP but I respect my teammates decision on having them on the site only. I do agree the banners are huge and have passed on that feedback to him so he might make them smaller but not sure he wants to add screenshots of the apps on the OP. One reason is if apps change their ui then we would have to change the screenshots on every single post we have made instead of just the site. So there is a reason we didn't post all of them here. Don't worry about sounding like an ass because all feedback is welcome here...good and bad. I usually don't go to the main site on my browser, . I use the app and the banners are very tiny inside it. So I really didn't notice until I went to the browser and looked. That's why I passed on that feedback so thank you!

No problem. And keep up the good work, these look great.

when clicking on some of the apps to download some of them don't come up as a download
a page just comes up with a lot of stuff on it

Edit: Adding chrome to the need to update list too!

I just want to thank you myself because for some reason the stock music app simply WOULD NOT work on My Note 2, it'd FC literally the whole time it was installed on my phone. Even in the background. For some reason your blacked out version works perfectly! So thanks a bunch! But just one thing! Didn't know if you knew the colors in the drop down menu to add to a play list are unreadable, or if it's just me.

That's crazy but glad the one we provided works, now with the pop-up being white on white I removed my themes on both my devices and the background is dark grey. Do you have a theme applied?

New to the Droid World

Hello world,
I just purchased an Samsung S3 but I haven't done anything to it yet because I am deciding if I want to keep it or sell it. I have always used iPhones and know how to jailbreak, tweak and customize it the way I want it but due to the ongoing battle with Apple and jailbreakers and having to wait for a jailbreak I think it's time to switch. An iPhone is nothing without a jailbreak and I am tired of the cat and mouse game.
So now I am here. I know I need to root the phone and can find useful info on this site but what I want to know are the tweaks for the droid phones just as good as the iPhone or better? Please don't be bias especially if you never owned an iPhone.
Can I customize the phone so if a friend ask to use the phone and wants to know the password I can give a dummy password? Can I create a secret account that won't show any of my apps, emails, photos, text call logs? Something similar to an iPhone app called igotchya?
Privacy is my number one concern but I would also like to add tweaks similar to what you would find in Cydia on an iPhone.
Before you rip me a new one for bringing up iPhones or Apple just note I am here to learn and not compare. Everything is foreign to to me which can lead to frustration but if I can have full access to my phone then it's worth it.
Before Apple I use to use HTC window phones like the 8525 and Fuze and came here to flash my roms.

The best way to know would be to root it and explore the different custom ROMs out there. Aosp or touchjizz . you can always revert back to fully stock if you decide to sell it.
Customizing a rooted android device is in no way comparable to a jailbreaked iPhone. Way more customisations posibilities and control over your phone hardware(CPU/internal memory)

Thanks for the reply.
I guess I am more concern about privacy. Prying eyes going through my stuff and accidentally deleting something. When my iPhone was jail broken I used a tweak called Protecti were I can lock certain apps from being launched and have a second passcode so I don't need to give up my real passcode.
The one thing I do like about the droid is how you have more options. You payed for the phone and allowed to do whatever you want with it. Unfortunately with the iPhone, Apple wants to control everything. I am really disliking Apple and waiting for the day when when the next big thing happens and Apple struggles to stay alive.
In my opinion if Samsung would make their phones feel solid instead of plastic they can really do some damage to other cell phone company's.

cant find good root info???

For the security, I'm sure you can find an app or something that will do the same thing you were used to on your iPhone. You will just need to find the app that does it check for lookout in the play store I think it will do want you're talking about. If not search security in the play store and I'm sure one of the all will suit you. Root my be needed tho. So don't be afraid to root your device and try. As I said you can easily revert back and be able to sell it after.

oops. eyes tripped on themselves

Thanks for the info.
So the play store has tweaks such as these? I don't need to go through a different source (similar to cydia for iPhone)?
Is there anything comparable to Installous (iphone cracked apps / try before you buy)?

You can search for the .apk on Google or XDA and install it manually on your phone. You put the file.apk on your sdcard you select it from a file manager like es file explorer and it will install the app on your phone and you don't need root to install app manually.
And yes the play store has tweaks such as these and many more. And if you look on the main page of XDA-developer(not the forum) you can find apps that are not in the play store yet. So instead of using cydia, you just need Google, XDA and the play store
Android is the land of endless possibilities

Thanks for useful info,
That's cool you can just put the file on your sdcard and don't have to use a third party installer.
I guess my next stop is to buy an SIM card adapter since the iPhone 5 uses a smaller SIM card. Once installed I don't need to do anything like call AT&T, it should just work right?
Hopefully the keyboard and the auto spell corrector on the S3 is much better than the i5. I wonder if I should sell the S3 and get the S4 or do you think the S3 is better for now since the S4 just came out and is still a little buggy?
Much thanks in advance.
