Hello Everyone,
So I have been working on videos on using different widget apps, backgrounds, and themes and thought I would share them all in a thread for you. I have a similar thread in the Xoom forum, but thought I would share with other devices. All of this was done on a Xoom but this easily works on any Honeycomb Device with the exception to my last step 5 which has to do with theming,(this is device specific), but if the maker of a theme executed correctly, you can follow the same steps to install the theme. I go through various tools but they do follow an order from start to finish. This is not an exact perfect way to use each of these widgets I am talking about, but its a way that worked for me. I hope you enjoy and find this useful.
Big shoutouts to everyone. I give credits in my video, sorry if I miss you here. Submicron, BigDogRush, BigDX, Ghoticov, XDA Community in General (You guys rock!!!)
Please note that towards the end I switched colors to Blue instead of the Orange theme I have in the beginning.

Hey Looks good,
Have you tested the Honeycomb interface modifications (flash able ones) with the Samsung 10.1v? Do they work without issues?
Cheers,
Adrian

Great find man
I always wanted to make one
Will try soon and post
great .i will try it
wow! that seems easy....will give it a try sometime
anyways thnx
tried making one by using the honeybee bootanimation from one of the threads but looked bad and pixelated
here is the screen shot:

it was easy because bootanimation already had different files,just had to convert into png....
my question:any software to convert 1 animated picture into differnet frames??
Try animation shop from paint shop pro. It is a few years old and should be free.

Dude! I'm actually thinking you may see way too much of me! Lol This whole community is foreign to me, with regards to how things are done. Its a whole new language being spoken here, with different apps, recoveries and methods of installation.
Hey, Reign, I got her rooted and was finally able to get a rom flashed. I took a cue from your theme and went with Eclipse. I'm enjoying it so far. I noticed you specified bootstrap for flashing this theme. Is there a way around that or, would I absolutely have to swap recoveries? Also, I was wondering what other roms you may recommend as bringing something unique to the table. I know this is off topic. Sorry about that. Honestly though, this is a beautiful theme and I think it deserves a bump, no matter the reason for it.

hey i like that circle clock
is it possible that i get that clock only?
Okay I've been browsing threads for a while and I'm still so completely confused.
I rooted my first device ever, Nexus 4 and installed a custom kernel.
So I'm trying to figure out how to theme my phone while remaining on stock ROM...Why? Well I like the stock ROM and don't see a reason to switch really. Everything runs smoothly...
I've discovered some apps:
1. Metamorph
2. ZipThemer
3. Xposed framework with xtheme engine
So I tried out xthemes but I've found that the themes I like do not theme the dialer or system colours or just leave bits and pieces unthemed.
For example when using Simplex theme nearly everything is themed but not the blue accents for my contacts headings and dailer like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's really bothersome to me who wants a very streamlined experience.
I want my numbers and all that blue to appear white or whatever colour.
Onto Zipthemer...so this should work so can I make those changes but I have no idea how. I don't know how to even find themes for this or what zips work. Can I flash a cm theme? Can I pick any morph file? I'm confused and what actually works. I know the how to thread said you can use any zips or morphs but can you?
Metamorph...again I don't know how to make those changes. I've searched xda but I'm still unsure on what to do. Are morphs mostly for ui elements rather than whole themes? Can I use morphs alongside xthemes or do they override. My xtheme isn't theming the elements o want themed so I can't imagine that being a problem.
Can the changes I require be only done on deodexed ROM? Does zipthemer or metamorph work on odexed? I know custom Roms are normally deodexed hence built in theming...
Is all this too much trouble and should I just install a custom ROM?

If you have installed Cyanogenmod or any other custom built ROM in your RAZR HD, chances are you've lost most of the wallpapers that Motorola includes in our phones, so here's the collection of images I use both when I'm feeling up for a bit of Nostalgia as well as when I wish to appreciate the newer graphics included in the latest versions of our phones. Hope you enjoy them, Cheers! :good:
Ok, here's the first package:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you like these ones, you can download the zip file containing them HERE.
Now the second package:
If you like these ones, you can download the zip file containing them HERE.
And finally the third package:
You can download the zip file containing this last package HERE.
Hope you enjoy them! :
And before all you RAZR HD owners start asking, no I did not discover the holy grail, nor have I found a way to bring back our original Motorola Circles Widget to any other Custom ROM. The trick is actually very easily replicated though, just go and get it from here:
Hehehe Cheers!
Cool, thanks for this
I'm curious as to why it's hard to port the Motorola Clock widget to other launchers and roms?

Well, I guess the easiest answer would be that it's not just a widget, its part of whole package that includes Motorola's own specific weather app, a specific framework, and has it's system functionality directly tied to the Moto Launcher.
