Hey everyone,
Everyone knows the streak live wallpaper. I use it as my default wallpaper, but when I looked through the HTC wallpapers (the not live ones), I saw one which looks similar, but blue (I think it's the default wallpaper for the blue sky skin, so I already knew it). I really like the blue one (more than the colorful streak), but I also really like live wallpapers. Now I've searched a bit on the web and on xda, but I couldn't find it, so is there a live version of this blue one? Or asked in a different way, is there a blue version of the streak live wallpaper? If not, is it possible for someone to make one? I would like to make it myself, but I'm not going to make a lot of themes and such, because I already screwed up a skin after working on it for 3 days LOL. If I was 18 and had a paypal account I would be willing to pay/donate for this, but I don't. Maybe I can use my sister's account to donate and then give her the cash back, but I'm not sure about that (she will probably say "do whatever you want with my paypal account as long as you give me the money immediately).
I also know the wallpaper is called string theory.
Thanks in advance!

My brother has Dell streak and i recently got him rooted and onto 2.2 (as it comes with 1.6). We then started to make his phone sexy, since hes jealous of mine. We found a thread that quite honestly made me jealous. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899879) I want to know if some of the talented minds on our thread can make such a thing.

All of that should be fully compatible with our phones. It's just Desktop Visualizer with a custom wallpaper. It is really cool looking though.

Gotcha. Well definately not me . I don't really do artistic....my theming is more fundamental changes Tonic probably would have been your best option, but honestly I'm not sure if he's developing anymore or not.
Great find. Too bad I prefer portrait mode over landscape but this has inspired me to do something similar in portrait view.

That would be hot. Thats more or less what im looking for. The Vibrant is majorly a portrait phone, as for the Streak is a landscape phone. I was inquiring if an artist could make a walpaper (portrait style) for our phones so the same type scheming could be achieved.
Not to hijack the thread. But what's going on with tonic? His work was awesome.

What exactly are you wanting to do just make wallpapers like this? Or a pre made theme with everything set up?

It looks like they just changed the icons of the apps to be transparent then applied a wallpaper that already said the app names on it. I would love to do this but its tough to do without a Dell Streak. :/

My goal is to have a similar type wallpaper, several if I may, so that I could apply my own icons. (Transparent) and use just one home screen. But as you can see, these are huge and landscape.

I have a friend that is pretty good at photoshop and will give it a shot for me. The problem that I see on this though is you will not be able to have more than one screen to move between or non of the icons will line up when you move to an alternate screen. What apps do you want listed on it? Do you just want the wallpapers from the other thread formatted to fit the vibrant screen? Let me know so I can pass it on.

I wouldnt mind having only one home screen. So long as the general things are avaiable. (Dialer, Gmail, Market, Messaging, Web) a PLUS would be to also have a File Browser section and a Music section along wih a gallery. but these are not essential. The wallpapers from the other thread are landscape and not really for the vibrant. so to resize them would look odd. Anything original is ok. im not picky. i just thought it would be a good idea to introduce these to the vibrant.

Actually... not entirely accurate. You can use the MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from the Market (free), and assign a specific wallpaper to each screen. You can use the same basic wallpaper with different app text locations, or different ones. Once you set up the screens you want, then add the trans icons, and boom, multiple screens with the same basic idea as what the OP had in mind.

Any Word from your friend?
im gonna give this a try..
Anyone using this? And what are your thoughts? It looks really nice but looks like a memory hog!
I bought if shortly after reading about it on engadget. I will tell you this. I was in the world of updating and changing my look on my phone almost weekly. After putting this Launcher on I found what could possibly be the last launcher I will ever use or need. It is extremely fluid, not to mention the eye candy involved. The way you can cleverly add new pages whenever and wherever you want is plain awesome. I have yet to find any true gripes other than it does not sync facebook pictures in your contact list to its widgets. So the events widget, messaging and contacts folder were a bit of an annoyance. Other than that very solid and stable. Hope this helps. And if you have any questions let me know.

I use it and love it. By far the best eye candy. Though I miss a few things, like landscape mode and animated wallpapers. It's not perfect, but for the looks it's the best.
I'm seeing a lot of people liking this spb shell 3d...and am wondering if I missed anything when I gave it a try and returned within the 15 minutes. The things I couldn't find that I was expecting from being a long time user of spb shell on Windows Mobile, were a true contacts panel, where you can change the arrangement, size, action etc. of your favorite contacts or scroll through their pictures carousel style. With is actually being called '3D' it would be more likely this is an option and I just missed it. Can you easily switch between a 'Home' and 'Pro' set of panels?
I use it and love it too. Great speed and effects. Well worth the $$ to me.
Its' so fast and clean, I can't go back to anything else. Definitely worth all the money.

I like it, but it doesn't support live wall papers and it needs more customization options.

Still the best I have used and worth the $15 but lacking landscape and live wallpaper. Prolly fixed in the next release
Eh couldn't find out how to get rid of the Flickr widget thing, plus it doesn't look to great with GreyBlur :/
I can't believe i paid 15 bucks for this =/
I have the new update and i'm rooted. I've been on stock for the past 5 days(waiting on gingerblur 3.0) I opted to try this out yesterday in place of stock.
After about 30 minutes I wanted to kill myself.
this thing is so bland!
As per title.
Even my monochrome tastes are a little bored with a plain black lockscreen, now I'd like some grey in the mix.
Looking for photos - cityscapes, nature, nothing too abstract.
Trawled through zedge, interfacelift and a few others, not found anything great and/or 480x800.
Any tips much appreciated.
D'oh... this probably should have gone in the themes & apps section, right?
Thanks to any mod who wishes to move it.
I got a few picture but I just do a search in google and download them
Great tip, thanks....
Of course I've bloody done that, and am still doing so. It's haphazard and very time-consuming, and I'm looking for a dedicated site.
Well when it comes to backgrounds and wallpapers. I use interfacelift.com
Not sure if they have a category with just B/W images but have a look.

Wow thanks for such a great site for wallpapers that look great on the samoled+ , love that they actually let you download 960x800 for full scrollable wallpapers.
Cheers
deviantart.com has many nice photos and black and white pics too...u just need to keep searching which is a time killler but they have very nice quality of pics
Just convert a nice photo to B&W ... you can even do that with the SGS2's photo editor
This is what i use, if ya like girls. Dont worry its not rude.

Has the most random pictures for wallpaper. Its some very unique stuff on this website. Anything you could possibly ask for is on this website. Check it out.
Personally for all my wallpaper needs I go to [URLhttp://www.wallbase.cc[/URL].
Not sure if they carry specific BW stuff, but they definitly have variety.
Thanks to everyone for the tips, I'll get searching (clean forgot deviantart, and have been a member there for years ).
No easy way to do it, I'll just keep clickin'.
I was looking for something to work on to gain a little more experience with photoshop so I adjusted one of the wallpapers from Zedge or somewhere to fit my screen properly. I will be happy to modify others if you send me the file. Please include any specifications i.e. you want the main image to show below the clock or at the top or centered etc. Just find this image in gallery and set it as wallpaper after choosing the correct screen type it shouldn't need any cropping.
If this isn't useful just let me know and I'll remove the post. I've been using these awesome roms for a couple months now, and I'd like to make some sort of contribution to the group, and since none of these devs would likely have the amount of time needed to get me rolling making roms worth using I'll try this for now.
Thanks,
Matt

I'm looking through the themes and wow...all of you have done some impressive work. I'm looking for something a little simple though. I just want to get rid of all the ugly white backgrounds in the settings, email, contacts etc. Most importantly the email and settings screens. I don't use the contacts screen too much and I don't use the stock messaging app either.
I think I can snag the dark Google play apk from another theme in here so that's done already. If you have any tips on how I can change these colors (invert black to white and white to black) on the few HTC skins that would be great. Not scared at all to get my hands dirty as I'm a programmer/developer for my day to day job. Just haven't done much in the android scene.
I've found that if you are running Kangs Chaos ROM there is a flashable zip that themes the whole phone black and blue I will see if I can find the thread for u and link it

What file do you have to edit to get the text message white background to black?
I have searched everywhere for this and cant find anything other than pnemonia theme. I love the theme dont get me wrong god knows the hours it took to go through everything to do that and he went through em all! It is perfect if you like the color. Kinda like a sports car. Who doesnt like a ferrari but what color everyone will pick a different one. Ive never made a theme before and working 60 hrs a week and barely can keep stuff updated. I have vacation in a month and i may just read up on it and make one. Maybe i could ask cho or timberwolf for few pointers for lil donation on mikmik. Timberwolf prolly knows as much as anyone on themes for the latest roms. Black is my fav but I just settle for blue. I just want something simple. No fancy icons, just black backgrounds with white letters. Matte clock and such. Ive got few new skins i found but i had nothing to do with any part in making em nor do i know who did and i dunno rules on that? Dont wanna make anyone mad without asking to post there stuff. Do a search for blue matte, drop dead red and black HD skins and to whoever made em tyvm love them!
