Hey everyone, I'm just another noob in need of some help because I can't find what I need on Google.
I've been using a kang of cm7 by fitsnugly on my nexus one. One of the things added in is a bubble style lockscreen. The thing is, the icons were green and looked bad against the steel blue theme of my phone.
So I looked around and found an old metamorph for a steel blue lockscreen and applied it. It changes the icons blue but not the ring around the bubbles when I'm dragging them (Pics below)
This morph also changed some of the transitions between apps/screens on my phone, and I like them except for two:
1. After unlocking phone, the lockscreen slides to the left and disappears instead of just going away
2. Anytime I bring the keyboard up, it bounces up and down for a second, which actually wastes a lot of time.
Basically I'm wondering what I am wanting to do is remove those two transitions and make the morphology change the rings blue.
Does anyone have any advice on where to start? How do you edit a morph? Just modify the files? How do I add in the ring morph?
Thank you for this opportunity to learn and further improve my phone!

Basically I want to know how to get button on the lock screen that I can slide to open different things directly (like camera, dialer, or email for instance).
I am running congnition 1.3 (which is super duper awesome btw lol), if a spicific launcher is needed please tell me which one haha I am currently using go launcher because I prefer the app drawer to be horizontal rather than vertical.
The attached pic is basically what I want, how can I do it?!
Thanks in advance for any insight!
mmmh it's probably Widget locker ( paid app ).
Or maybe hte lockscreen modded via Ultimate online kitchen : http://uot.dakra.lt/
Use wigetlocker. And use fancy widgets(make sure of the s at last. Fancy widget is unsupported now i guess) for the time+weather. Flikie wallpapers for backgrounds

Hello
I'm using LauncherPro and just yesterday I stumbled on this post on xda.
Now, I don't care about the wallpaper, but I really like those buttons. So first I did try to find the icon pack (it is called "Manup's Simple Word Icons 116SET") and then tried to make some of the icons myself, but each time I noticed that the words just aren't readable on the screen (too small!).
So I was wondering, does anybody use such a theme and is willing to shear it, or does somebody has a solution for this? Or is our resolution really that bad?
Thank you in advance!
Hey, I tried using this app too once and had the same problem, I'm not very clued up on Photoshop so never tried to solve it that way......
Instead I used another app custom launcher icons, which gave me the text icons that we're readable. There wasn't much customization in it though so got bored quickly, I think the icons in that picture are actually blank icons placed over a custom dock background which has the text on it.
I've done it that way before a while ago, let me have a search for the theme which came with blank icons n ill get back to you.
EDIT: The theme I used for the blank icons was called sense adw theme by androidfeens.
You can use the blank icons from that then find a custom dock with the text on.

No I tell a lie he did actually use that app to make the text icons and then placed them on top of a custom dock. Must be our resolution that sucks with the app, oh well glad you reminded me about this just made my own custom dock again.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Interesting approach, but the only restriction is that this way of working limits the amount of docks to just one, as the dock-background is the same for every dock..
Yeh that is a problem for multi dock users, doesn't affect me as I only use one, for the basic phone functions.

Same when I used it u i forget I have them, and found it easier to just use shortcuts

A bit late, but I've found an app that creates readable word icons! It is called 'Simple text - text icon creator', is made by 'redphx' and can be found in the market for free. For a screenshot, check attachment.

OK,
I think we all realize us X2 are owners are few.
As such, we have less themes and less ROMs to choose from. Since we dont have 50 people making themes for 26 different ROMS, I figured it best to hone in on what people would want to see.
I am not saying I am going to make one (I just might though) but, one of the three of us.. there are three themers right? Me, Funkencool and MuffStuff? Just might.
So, now is you chance to say what you would like to see in a theme.
Colors, backgrounds, apps themed, whats included, etc..
I'll give you an example.... (although this is not a request by me)
Transparent backgrounds, Neon blue images. Blue matching text colors, maybe change the lock slider on the lockscreen. I use the internet, xda app, music and calendar the most so those would be cool to be themed as well.
Now toss out some ideas so the few of us that do it can make something a lot of people can enjoy!
As a sidenote, dont know about anyone else but, if I make it, it will be for the Eclipse ROM.
PORT OF THAT FIRE THEME THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THAT IS OUT FOR THE DROID 1 PROJECT ELITE ROM. YESPLZ KTHNXBYE

I want it looking like my Xoom again!
Guys, I cant just grab someone elses work. Yo would need the author to port it over for you.
I don't know what else Funk or Muff has done for other phones. Me personally, for the D1 I have made themes in the color of... Chrome, Blue, Red, Orange and Pink.
What the main thing was here was to make a new theme based off the ideas from you guys.
Choose a color, choose icons, choose details, etc... Be as specific as possible. solid color, glow, fade, etc.. it can be as simple or as complicated as the two images I am about to post up.
I also just learned something new trying to make that funky looking image.. im stoked!
Something with just the basic necessities in it, with an orange theme..
Orange would be the easiest since I have it about 90% done...lol

I'm on board and I like you example(as an example) it would be nice if we could just get a good clear view of what you guys want in a theme. Especially apps because I've been wanting to get started on some.. just not sure what exactly.
Personally(and this isn't an example) I most often use ShapeWriter and the stock moto keyboard, dolphin mini, forum apps(xda, rootz), gapps (especially voice and gmail), stock messaging(eclipse's), and Mort player for my music. those are at least the ones I like to look good the most, but really most of mine are themed or themeable.
PS i also would rather just do something original than port an already existing one.

That's my favorite part.. seems like when i theme I spend just as much time learning or trying new things as I do actually working on what I started

I am interesred in themes that match. I am currently running eclipse 4 with blue blur 1.3. This has probably been my lobgest running setup. I use adw ex with i2 theme icons (mostly because there are over 1000 themed and its free). I also use widget locker as well, so lock screen isnt important to me. I use most of the basic apps but almost no widgets anymore cuz they dont match or burn battery faster. I really just want it all to look the same. I love tapatalk app cuz it will use system colors to match. Wish all apps have this ability. Would make changing themes so much faster and easier for you guys. As for colors i like blue, black, grey, and green. Not all together but not all one either. Two tone cars look great right? I think two tone droids are sweet as well. I have all the tools to get the job done just need more practice with them. I have only ever been successful with the droid 1, was so much easier with no bootloader so if i messed it up. Starting over was quick.

rusty.. that.. is a detailed post. thank you!
Theming the X2 is almost exactly like the D1. You just have to get the basics down with the dependencies and such. I just bought this phone 2 weeks ago (I think) so, you can see, its just a quick bit of getting the feel for it down. THe only real thing I dont like is that I have to plug my phone into the wall charger to get into recovery. I liked being able to just do that on the fly with the D1.
It looks to me though, from what you said, you really like the Blue Ice Cream theme but wish there were more widgets. You would also like to see some of that blue two-toned. You mean like a fade I am assuming?
I just made the jump from CM7 to ICS Passion and am loving it... with the exception of the SMS app. I feel that there's a ton of wasted space and horrible color scheme (I like simple and effective... Nothing bloated and fluffly... If I wanted that, I'd own an iPhone).
It appears there are no options to change the skin.
Are there alternative themes/skins available or can I flash over another messaging APK (e.g. the old CM7 messaging APK)? Did my best to search for a solution but couldn't find an answer....
Thanks!
sms change for passion
you could always try using the inverted mms apk found in the vibrant app section. its simple blue and black. looks good =)
It does look good, but I'm hoping I can find one in which 1/3 of the screen isn't taken up by cartoon heads.
It does look like any ICS-compatible apk will work though... Will post something here if I find something - hopefully help someone else out in the process.
Try something like go SMS
I use that instead. Sind can be changed and it's a pretty smooth app

hello. if this has been asked before, please point me to the thread and lock this one. i am wondering if it is possible to make your lock screen wallpaper a live wall paper like you can your home screen? i know with the gs3 you could do it from settings, but in my lgog the lock screen settings doesnt have the option to select live wallpapers for it. it only lets me use gallery pics or wallpaper pics, not live wallpapers. so does anyone know of a trick to get it to enable live wallpapers on the lock screen? thank you for your time.
I just got done scouring the internet for an app or mod to do this but I came up empty. I think there was some weird limitation because there was plenty of interest for something like this and a few bootleg ideas.
The best of those is clear lockscreens which let you see a live wallpaper if one is set as your normal background, but that's the best you can do at least for now. Just search for clear or transparent lockscreens to try it.

Well you could delete(make sure to copy it somewhere first) lockscreen3.apk and you will have the ability but you lose the shortcuts and the lock screen just looks like this and the camera button doesn't even work
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
And I have tried the clear .png and it doesn't work. The lockscreen app has a white background behind it that I don't believe is an image, so I don't know how you would take it out.
