[WALLPAPER/ICONS] NINJA APPS - VERY cool idea. - Vibrant Themes and Apps

DISCLAIMER:
I did absolutely NO WORK on this. ALL CREDIT GOES TO XDA Users plugged_in_now for his beautiful icons, and Mustanboy88 for his wonderful wallpaper!

So I was motivated by a tweet from Anderweb (ADW developer). I watched this video and instantly set my phone up this way.
Anyone willing to make some cool wallpapers specific to our phones (ie, the name of ROMs or "Vibrant").
I posted a more generic thread here, but was hoping to focus more on ones for our phones here. In that thread though, I did link to everyone/give proper credit and give download links for the wallpaper and a transparent icon!

Thanks! I'll hit thanks when I get to a computer

I tried doing this with launcher pro and I get a fc when using a transparent icon. Would be curious to know if anyone else gets fc's?

I've never had any problems with LP or ADW. Any .png that isn't too big should work. Try this one if you want. It has always worked for me.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Mustangboy88 posted some new wallpapers (same layout). I really hope some new wallpapers are added soon...
Any of the vibrant themers willing to take a run at this? Specifically for a trigger background, haha.

Thanks for sharing this it looks neat. Was gonna take a stab at a W7 type LP.setup, but this looks very cool.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

There are some new wallpapers being added in the other thread... I think I am going to take a stab at a Trigger one a little later.

Looks like I just found my next project. Been thinking about jumping into theming, but don't have the patience/time. This will be perfect.

There are some great examples of this buried on the main "post you homescreen" thread.

I have been using this concept on my phone for awhile, but I've never been a big fan of either LP or ADW (personally, I prefer Zeam). For my setup, I use Desktop VisualizeR for the transparent icons. If you are still having problems with FCs, give it a shot.

^ Nice, got any wallpapers to share?

Yea... I can make a transparent icon in cs5 but creating the wp is a little advanced for me... anyone able to help out with shadows on icons and e everything?

I've no talent with making wp, so I use various wp that I found on here. I tend to use minimalistic theming so I use the transparent Icons as a method of keeping my home screen clean while keeping it functional. What was shown in OP is far more sophisticated than anything I came up with on my own.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

yesterday was my first day, so I certainly am no expert... but this is what I was doing to place icons and setting a shadow.....
open a new project, 800x960 I think?
ALT + Backspace makes it all Black
new layer, File > Place, choose icon, resize it, move it to where I want it and place it.
right click on the icon layer, duplicate, CTRL+T, right click, flip vertical.
Move it below the icon so it looks like a shadow and place it.
grab the eraser, change opacity to 30-40% and run over the bottom icon so it looks faded.
Once you do that, it looks like a shadow.... that is how I was doing it. I would love to learn how to just make a black shadow beneath the icon, because my next one is going to be glass shelves on a textured black background... with smaller/cleaner icons.

If I can get it back up and running, I've got some professional level 3D title/logo modeling and animation software (I used to work for the company), which would allow me to composite 3D icons drop them over whatever background I wanted. I'd be happy to share. I'll see what I can do about getting the software installed on my new computer this weekend.
All I'd need is .ai files of the icons with proper vector paths. I no longer have Illustrator.

[MORPH] Naked TouchWiz App Menu 7/31/10

This Metamorph will remove the colored tiles from the TouchWiz3.0 app menu. Make sure you are using the latest version of Metamorph (1.9.13 or higher). I'm not responsible for anything you do to your phone.
WARNING:
You will have to reset your homescreen widgets after applying this morph. Not sure why, but they will all pop up with the "Problem loading widget" image.

This seems pretty useful, I also hope that one day we can get customizable backgrounds and set a specific background on whatever app you choose.

It's possible but I don't see custom backgrounds implemented any time soon. From what I can see, there's not an image that denotes app menu background, so it would take a tweaked version of the launcher to even enable that, not to mention an image chooser as well.
That being said, we do have the source, so it is possible. It would just take someone with the skill and dedication to accomplish it.
Thank you!
I thought it was so stupid that Samsung decided to add random color backgrounds to the icons.

Glad to hear that it's possible, sure enough I would do it if I had the skill for it. Thanks for this, I actually like it better without the background. Kudos!
Actually, after reading up on it, it's sounds like Samsung might not have included the TouchWiz UI in the source they released. So it may be a bit harder than we though, but that's still not to say it's impossible.
I'm glad you like my morph, though. I couldn't stand the tiles either.

Looks good so far. I like the layout alot. Cannot wait till you have a good beta. Ill be happy to test as well.
sent from my fascinating fascinate eating delicious froyo.
Looking good DiGi! I'm already running the launcher from this, and loving it... count me in once you've got a Beta. And this is more of just an aesthetic thing, but the dock bar at the bottom seems really thick... is there any possible way to make it a bit thinner? Besides that, perhaps a notification bar color and layout that matches the blue glassy launcher a little better. Keep up the awesome work!
neato. shoot me a pm if you want a tester.
Looking good DiGi looking forward to this, really liking the layout. Agreed with the dock bar, but its all legit. Keep it up dude. See ya in IRC.

Man this looks amazing! Super stoked for the development on this. I may have an idea on how to make the scrolling transparent instead of turning black when touched (if it's not taken care of already). I work two weeks on, two weeks off and I am scheduled to go back to work in a few days and android time is on hold while I'm there. At any rate, let me know if assistance is needed. Again...Amazing work here.

I think it's because of how Android is cropping them. You know, for when the wallpaper slides a little when you change homescreens?
It's annoying (especially after getting used to the nice crisp wallpapers when using stock webOS), but I've found a few that I use where it doesn't look so bad. I wonder if those other tablets that use gingerbread have the same problem? All the more reason to use plenty of widgets I suppose.

I use a live wallpaper called "MultiPicture", it allows you to have a different wallpaper or set of wallpapers for each home screen if you want or you could just go with one static image for all, it also has great scaling options.

Thanks for the transformerbread recommendation. I love the size of the soft keys. I had been using honeybread, but that has issues with the status bar. The one thing that's really bothering me is the battery icon goes right up to the very edge of the black status bar. I've attached some screenshots of my homescreen.

[APP] Honey Hide Widget V3.0!(hides system bar)

Hey guys I forgot who had requested a widget to show/hide the system bar In Honey Comb, but here it is! I had a couple people test it before I released it to the market. This is to be used by people who use the Hardware Buttons in HoneyComb. Enjoy
March 18, 2012
Version 3.0 has been released! It includes a smaller widget (1×1) that was requested by users as well as the ability to restore the status bar when the screen turns off. The latter feature allows the widget to be used by more devices that do not have hardware keys.
Along with version 3.0 I have also released a donate version. This version is exactly the same as the free version but costs one dollar for those who feel generous!
You can download it on the android market place by clicking Here for free and Here for donate
Feb 13, 2012
Version 2.0 brings along a new layout as well as more reliable code!

And just incase someone trys this without hardware buttons and opens an app while the bar is hidden the command you can run to get your bar back is:
Code:

Unfortunately, htc scribe apps still don't like the removed bar. Good for watching video and reading pdfs though.
EDIT: I have a small request. Can you please make the buttons or hitboxes a little bigger? Sometimes it takes a frustratingly large amount of touches to register a show or hide.

Actually, in that line, I would simply suggest a one-cell toggle (on or off). It was a somewhat curious decision to make two buttons instead of an on/off toggle.

I like the fact that the widget is a toggle, and maybe this is a silly question, but why do you make it take two icon widths (2x1) rather than just a normal 1x1 icon?

[Designs] Homescreen Designs [Unique Ideas]

Homescreen Design Thread
I love to look at people's ideas when it comes to Android homescreens. Because Android is so completely customizable, you can do incredible things to make it look amazing! Here's and example of the kinds of things that should be in the thread...

So I know that there is a thread for homescreens already, but I wanted to make one that was for beautiful designs only. Just putting up a screenshot is alright, but giving it a body and background makes it even better. The idea is to get unique looking designs up to inspire others to design beautiful homescreens. In otherwords, this isn't for screenshots like this:
If you want a Psd template to get started, you can find one here - Htc Amaze Psd​

Thanks! Its Apex Launcher Pro to get the widget overlapping as well as the red notifications. The black and blue edges are actually UCCW Clock widgets. Its a great app to make stylish homescreens. I've found it a little taxing on the battery and system speed though to have that many widgets running.
O and yes, it is Fourth Bar Jellybean. I've tried Cm9 but I found it to unstable to use as a daily driver. Plus Fourth Bar works almost flawlessly as Aosp aside from the Signal bars missing.
Looks like someone's in engineering.
Awesome home screens btw!

No... Not really. I dislike math with a passion! Most likely computer science with a focus on UX design.

Thank you for starting this thread CRAIGTUT. I remember one like this in the G2 forum that grew to a couple hundred pages. Great ideas from some creative minds. I like what you did with yours. It gave me one or two ideas with mine. I'll get a couple screen shots up soon. :good:
dude you make the amaze beautiful.
That UCCW is a little hard for me to configure haha. I cant manage to make anything look right. :silly:

Visit the UCCW thread on XDA - You will be pleasantly surprised at all the work that has been shared there, it will give you more than enough time to figure UCCW out to make your own creations.
It's one of the top five threads on XDA as far as I am concerned
-Desktop Visualizer
-Tron icon pack and Icy cm9 icons for ADW EX
- Beautiful Widgets
Not too "unique" i guess because I still use the normal android grid style setup but I like ics blue and everything (almost) matches
Feedback welcome...
- HTC Amaze - Eclipze's Speed Rom 7.0 - Fauxy Edition
Here's Mine [UPCOMING ROM]

Ironically enough, just today I decided to take the time to redo my homescreen, and looking at others in the post your homescreen thread was just pages and pages of the same stuff. Not to offend anyone but the majority of what is there is just too busy and cheap looking, I wanted something different, so I finally ended with this.
