Can some one say to me what is the name for the file of this pop up's background please?
Many thanks by advance
'Add Item', it takes you to 'Add to Home screen' editing for adding widgets and shortcuts etc.
Thank you for your answer but it's the name of the pop up background file than I need, I would like to give more transparency to this pop up .

I was able to move these locked apps/icons which appear on all home screens on my SGS1, and now on the SGS2, when i try and edit the home screen(s), the phone wont let me change these.
Ive downloaded Handscent SMS which i want to use to completely replace the default messages app, so in a root explorer program just renamed the Mms.apk application to a ,bak, in doing that, it removed the messages icon from this locked menu so now i can only see PHONE/CONTACTS/APPLICATION icons and still cant add or edit anything...can someone help with this? Just wanna throw the HANDSCENT SMS icon in there...

If you're talking about the four bottom icons with the app drawer icon at the far right then you can change it quite easily. Just open the app drawer, hit menu then edit. You can drag and move whatever you'd like to the bottom area. Home/Applications must stay though.
Is there any way of changing the icons, renanming them or just pointing the existing icon to another application?
I am trying to keep the stock messaging icon but open Go SMS Pro with it instead?
TIA
Hello, I'm making a CM7 theme and i have some trouble theming the system animations as in framework-res/anim.
I need to know the name of the xml files which are responsible for the animation when e.g long pressing on homescreen and the window pops up (to add shortcut, widget etc.), or when long pressing a contact.
Thanks in advance.
Found it myself. They're called "dialog_enter.xml" and "dialog_exit.xml" in case anyone has the same question.

Hello guys,
Looking at the number of people asking for a Metro UI look Guide i have decided to make this,This is my First ever guide,So if i go wrong somewhere go easy on me
Necessary Softwares Required
1) ADW Launcher
2)Desktop Visualizer
3)Multipicture Live Wallpaper
4)Minimalistic Text
Step 1: ADW Launher
* Install ADW launcher
* Go to ADW settings -> UI Presets -> main dock-> disable main dock
* Screen Preference-> Desktop Columns =9
Rows=5 ( you can give rows and columns number like you please,this just adjusts the widgets size )
*Under Advanced settings in screen preference - Enable Overlap Widgets
* You might Notice an Annoying blue line on top of the screen (to Remove it)
-long press on the screen and Select Launcher Actions
-Add Show/Hide Status Bar.then add it to screen click it.blue line disappears and Delete the show/hide status bar you have added.
*Disable Wallpaper Scrolling.
Okay now you are done ADW launcher for now! Good job! Now lets procees to the next step .
Step 2: Multilivewallpaper
*Long press on main screen -> wallpaper->live wallpaper -> you can select individual wallpapers for each screen(this is left to you)
* So after selecting wallpapers,you can change the transtition effect and stuff to your taste!
Step 3: Desktop VisualizeR
*Download the Icons pack i have attached and extract it in you tab.
*On Main Screen ->Long Press->Widgets->Desktop visualizer-> Choose 2x1 or 2x2 which ever you like (1x1 is also fine) .
*You will notice a widget will be added on your screen -> click it-> now it asks you to choose an icon -> select an icon from the icon pack you have extracted(consider you are making " books" widget.so select books image icon)
*Next it will ask for an Action to be executed -> select launch an app-> Ebook app(moon reader or whatever you use)
*Clear the Text Label Which will be below .
* Press ok and you are done
***REPEAT Step 3 every time you want to add an widget .
Step 4: Minimalistic Text(if you get confused ,i would recommend you to see some youtube videos on how to configue minimalistic text)
* long press on the screen ->minimalistic text widget->2*1 Size
*Untick show background
*Horizontal block ->left
*vertical Block->Center
*predefined layout->custom
now click custom layout which would be enabled down
*now you will see some boxes .long press them and drag and drop on the bin (its like removing an icon from the homescreen)
*After Removing everything ->select the green plus sign to add button->misc->static text(drag and drop on top i,e left to the green plus button)
*click on static text->give text "start"
Style->accented
*done press minus->press ok
*Now go to Accented it will be few rows below custom layout
*you can select the text style which u want.(i myself used size 50 ,thats all i did not make any more changes)
*Check "disable Action on tap" .Check this one
*press ok and your done
Step 4:
* you will be able to see the minimalistic widget you created ,drag and keep at one side.
*long press->launcher action->open app drawer
*now long press the open app drawer icon you created. Delete the text you see now click on the icon->select picture->select the transparent picture i provided.
*now place this "invisible icon on top left corner*
Now what our intention is we want to overlap the start text we created from minimalistic text and invisible icon ,so that when we click start ,app drawer should open. now bring in the start widget on same row ,notice u will not be able to place widget on top of each other so just place it by its side,then long press on start widget and edit then resize the widget so that it overlaps on the invisible app drawer widget.
Step 5: HD widgets
I used this app for the Clock and Weather widgets
End Product should look like the Screenshot i have Attached.
Thank you.
Hi dear friend...
Good guide you wrote, I didn't vote because I didn't read it all...

Hi,
Those icons aren't really icons, but rather text used in the Zooper Widget. To change these icons, as well as their associated shortcuts, try this:
1. Long press on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets (come back here to lock them back into place at the end).
2. Long press on the top widget - Configure - Layout.
3. Now as you can see, there are many Rich Text Module with letters underneath, those are the 'icons'. For example, 'a' is the clock icon.
4. To change the icon/text, tap a module (e.g. 'a'), scroll to Edit Text Manually, and replace 'a' with another letter. Here is a reference to all the icons: http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....pdf?key=chMx6D8HCwHmdWscEnOsag&ts=1400226165
5. Once you've changed the icon, tap back, then select Module OnTap. Change it to the shortcut/app that you prefer (you can swipe between tabs).
6. Once you're happy, exit everything, and use the same method to the other widgets if necessary.
7. Lock the widgets back into place (Step 1).
It looks like a lot of effort, but it gets much easier with practice. For more information on editing themes, see our tutorial videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPXmDjRU7Q9daVeQYX78PNrUp0BAc9AIn
New to themer and i can't find anything in a search to help me swap out an icon in my dock. Looks like the dock is set up using Everything Widget. I deleted the icon and wanted to add a new one but my options were limited. Can anyone link me to some good threads to walk me through this process? Struggling to find anything on my own.
The theme is Nightscape.
Thanks for sharing such a great information its really informative and intersting . i m looking forward to see more update like that Thanks once again.

Hi,
Some themes use fonts instead of icons to make porting the theme to other phones. Nightscape is one of those themes that use a widget instead of icons. To change an 'icon', try this:
1. Long press on the widget - Advanced - Unlock Widgets.
2. Long press on the widget again - Configure.
3. Use the blue slider on the left to drag the configuration box up.
4. Select an icon, such as the chat bubble - Text - Set Text.
5. Change it to another letter (use this link for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704935) - tap back.
6. Text - Hotspot - Change it accordingly - tap back - exit the widget - Lock Widgets into place.
You're welcome to add in bitmap images instead of the font method, but these fonts produce the highest quality as well as many other useful applications. For more info check out our video tutorials, especially the Music one: http://bit.ly/ThemerVideos. If you need any more help just let us know!
