Hello all! I got tired of waiting...and like all others that couldnt take it anymore. ..i jumped to nero3...so far its a huge improvement! Im curious if anyone knows how to remove some of the "homescreens" in nero3?...there are more than I can utilize...
Also, is there a way to make the home screen rotate when the device is held in a position other than the normal way?
There isnt a way to remove on stock. Search feature is amazing. Search for a modified touchwiz launcher. Or try adw ex launcher from market, they have a twiz clone setup.
Edit: made it easier for u. This is modified twiz launcher. Make backup first and then follow the page

Just curious with all the options that are available, Which ROM is on your Vibrant and why do you like it?
Stock JK2 because there is no "give and take" and I can customize it to my liking.

Put this in q/a right now
Onyx V3 -- mostly because the install instructions were super easy and I really like the black theme. don't like touchwhiz, so I sided with Onyx over Obsidian
I prefer Bionix for 2.1 ROM, and been using McNut for the 2.2 ROM...
But after trying Masters Axura 2.0.2 I found my new favorite! I love the look and feel of it.
I now run Axura 2.0.2 with eugenes kernel#802 and Ryanza's one click lag fix and ive never been happy with my phone. 2000+ quadrant benchmarks and 17mflops. You should give it a try.
My Custom ROM is...
AOSPISH_JK2_v1.1
Love this ROM! It's clean, fast, and everything works without a single problem.
w00t
I use a rom called the general section made by xda, you should try it.
I guess this is in the wrong place. to those of you that answered thanks. to anyone else, how do I move this to the correct location? Didn't mean to break the rules, just trying to learn from this great community.

if you're going to do a thread like this why not make it a poll?
the best rom i use
Axura 2.0.3 the best rom for my vibrant ever 100 plus
Great idea! seeing that this is my 1st thread, this is what I came up with. but I love the idea of a poll, maybe I'll try that in the right location. thanks.
I prefer ROMs with better battery life. Now it's Obsidian V3 - 0.2-0.4% per hour in sleep.
Thanks Lorendoll Battery life is important to me too
Currently using obsidian v4 (Snagged it before it was taken down. Works great for me, but will probably reflash when it goes back up.)
I use ADW Launcher because I hate tw, but I find i'm addicted to some of the samsung apps that won't run on onyx.

yeah, i'm kinda missing the daily briefing and memo apps
Bionix Final here as it has fantastic battery life. Tried a couple 2.2 ROMS and the battery life on them were pathetic.
Staying with Final until a 2.2 rom with acceptable (IE: more than a day) battery life comes along.

so yeah.....i don't really care about gingerbread, but i would like this animation.....if CM7 has it, i would imagine it could be extracted and flashed??
can someone out there look at CM7's code and find this, and make it flashable/metamorphed??
i've already searched it, and just seems like no one is really working towards it.....

CM7 has it because it is Gingerbread.

hi
im just wondering if anyone does full themes like on most the other phone threads. i can only really see status bar themes? or is someone in the making of a full theme. i didnt think it would be any different to theme the dell streak to any other phone. i personally cant get my head round editting png.9 files and xml hence i cant do it myself but surely someone here knows how to edit them and can start producing themes? or is there another site with a theme collection cause xda in general seems to lack choice in anything dell streak related or maybe i was just spoilt with options on the desire hd and galaxy s lol also the status bar doesnt have toggles for wifi and so on? is there a mod for that?

How is this different from loading a launcher on your Streak and then installing a theme that was created for the launcher? I would think it is the same, maybe I am pointing in the wrong direction.
Are the themes over at the Galaxy S forum to be used without a launcher?

we talking about volume pop up the menu pop up the shut down pop up the settings menu and all the volume and display pop ups and tick boxes, the calculator the calendar the contacts the dialer the status bar, every part of the phone visually is themed. what i call proper theme full theme
i tried theming before when i had the galaxy s. just couldnt get my head round learning xml and png.9 files. so instead i used to take parts of peoples themes and put them into the framework and install it so it was how i liked. but thats when u have loads of themes to play with, i dont have the ability to produce a theme or port it
see im wondering, would it be possible to copy all the png and png.9 files from a galaxy s framework res and paste it into the streak and it work? aswell as xml?
Unfortunately the streak wasn't advertised by dell that well so the userbase and developers are lacking. The galaxy on the otherhand is everywhere.

yer very true. being a previous user i went on there an made a question post under themes to ask themers to port them to the streak. one dev has already said he will have a look and give it a try. the galaxy s has a great community and the people are very helpful so fingers crossed someone does it for us and just everybody make sure you donate cause we lack the devs so if we can get devs from other phone to sort us out we need to give em a reason to keep coming back
ok people i have a couple of galaxy s themers looking into porting their themes to the dell streak based on the 1.9 rom. so if they pull it off and post them in the theme section for us then be sure to donate to them for their time and effort for a device they dont even own
That would really be cool.
I would donate to them

good work mate. the black android theme from galaxy s is in the process now, its the best one to start off with. its neutral so any wallpapaer and stuff with go with it and it will get rid of any of the nasty grey pop ups from menu and stuff. if the process goes well then donating will be the key for future ports. we may have the black android port by the weekend so ill keep everyone posted. just anyone reading this, please show interest, please donate to the themer. i done the leg work to get this so make it worth while
If galaxy s i a mdpi phone you can open its faramework.apk and extrakt the drawable-mdpi folder and past it in the stresks framework.apk. I have done it with a theme form desire hd, but it is a hdpi phone so it needs to be modifed

how did u flash it? im using streekmod recovery and when i tried installing one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009049 it didnt work. it flashed but when rebooted nothing had changed. im just wondering is it not possible to flash themes through streakmod recovery?
You can flash with streakmod, you will have better results with clockworkmod. I have seen many times where streakmod did nothing and clockwork always worked.

is there any reason why we should have one or the other, i mean clockworkmod will flash the themes but is there something streakmod does what clockworkmod dont? also i tried clockworkmod and it didnt work. nothing i pressed in menu worked and my button lights where flashing like hell
lol, for the life of me I cannot recall which on I have loaded. I think it is Streakmod.
I think clockwork will load most of the stuff from the kitchen with out issue. It will backup your device but you are not able to perform a restore.
Streakmod will backup and restore. I think it is a modified version of clockwork.

Finally someone working/pushing the Streak community towards custom themes. Can't wait to see where this goes.
couple questions though...
I am currently using the official Android 2.2 from AT&T.. I've been to scared to use any of the mods or anything whether with DJ Steve or not. (prolly cause I paid 300 for this phone lol)
What would I have to do to get themes on my streak once they start coming out?
Would I have to root it, to flash the theme on it?
I haven't flashed or done anything in a while.... I used to do it with my old phone, back when I used the HTC Fuze... Then I got a Blackberry Bold and left it stock and now am on the Streak so I haven't done anything like custom mods or anything in a long time and don't remember anything about..
I am really interested and if someone could help me that would be great ... email me at [email protected]
I was wondering if anyone could make me a firefighter theme for my vibrant. I have one on my ipod that I love but cant find a good one for my phone. I cant figure out if there is anyway to get the theme off the ipod to use some of the images. If anyone know how please help. I do not know anything about theming but I will post it up on here so that people could make me a theme. Here are some pics I took. couldn't figure out how to do screenshots on the ipod.
What rom are you on?

Would love to see one of these too!!! Using Trigger 3.2 Everyone at my station would be jumping to Android if they saw something like this and it had pictures like Fireman1937 posted.

If nobody will make you a theme (and all honestly, I doubt anyone will) you could always use this quick workaround.
1. Connect your iPhone to computer, use iFunBox to extract the PNGs from your theme
2. Transfer said PNGs to your Vibrant
3. Use ADWLauncher to set custom icons for your apps
4. Set fire as wallpaper
4. ???
5. Profit!
Keep in mind, this won't change the icon in the app tray, but they can't all be winners.
Thanks to everyone that has posted on this thread unfortunately I am getting rid of my vibrant and getting a dell streak. Hopefully I will like it and try to theme for it. If not it will be up for sale. Thanks again.

Does anyone know of an rooted S2 ROM that is pretty much stock Samsung ICS 4.03 that gives me 5 horizontal icons on home screen and 5 x 5 in the apps drawer.
Alternatively any way to achieve this this with an existing rooted ROM?
Don't want to do it through an alternative launcher as I am happy with TW.
Thanks in advance.

This is probably the best for you

TW wont do that out of the box.
Look into TW 4.5 - not sure if it'll work on ICS, but I used it on GB and it allowed you to change the grid size IIRC.
Oh and it's a launcher thing, not a ROM thing.
Otherwise, find other launcher i guess...
Use apex launcher
On home screen touch the menu key
Go apex settings > home screen settings > portrait grid
Change to 5x5 or whatever u want

Thanks for that I have TW4.5 on my current ROM which is running 4.0.3 and have had on previous ROM's but this is the first time I have seen 5 horizontal icons on the home page, had never seen it as an option either.
I will investigate some more as I don't really want to use another launcher.
It's not even funny to post "Rom Challenge " in android development section.
That's my mistake I will withdraw the post. Thanks.
