Now I could be wrong, but that looks like shoman94's dialer that he made for mattedblues. You should give the man credit in the OP if that's the case, otherwise it's just kanging
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
Done. No kanging here.

Thanks for calling me on my absent mindness.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Ronald.ibay:
Hey ya'll! Just downloaded the theme and everything is working and looks great!

I'm just wondering if there is anyway to change the home screen page number?

What I mean is no matter how many home screen pages I have, page 1 is always the screen it will go to after pressing the home button. Is there anyway on getting it to be a middle page (like it always has)? I don't get to see the nice part of my wallpaper. :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
I personally have never figured out how to do that, however I remember seeing a post or thread somewhere on the forum that tells you how to manually modify TW Launcher to pick your home screen.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Ronald.ibay:
I did some searching around and found a few scripts/mods to change your home screen, but none of them worked for Serendipity7 (newer builds).

I did find an application called "SGS Screen Changer" on the market, made by pedrodh. I simply downloaded it, opened the app, asked for SU access, selected what # home screen I wanted and voila! Feels good to see the center of my wallpaper again. :D Thanks for the tip timbrendelaz!

I'm on Serendipity7 build 2, kernel 4.1.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mrwesth:
Just flashed the theme, looks sexual.

Noob question:

How do I use the launcher in your a9.jpg?

You know the 5 icon with the app button in the middles.

...and how might one change the main desktop to 3 instead of 1 with the twlauncher?

...and how might one remove desktops with the default launcher?

Thx, just curious!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
I'm pretty sure that's LauncherPro.

According to the post directly above you, you can use SGS Screen Changer to change the main desktop.

I don't know how to remove desktops.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
Tis' true. That is indeed LauncherPro. The basic version is a free download from the Market.

To remove desktops from the TW launcher (and possibly the stock S7 one), close all apps and press the Menu button, then Edit. It will let you drag and drop new or unwanted desktops.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mrwesth:
There is no edit button when you press menu with the S7 launcher. Any workaround?

I guess this is less of an issue, and more of a I just wanna know how to do it thing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
I cannot for the life of me get a transparent notification bar to work with any launcher other than the stock one! The bar is transparent but there continues to be a solid black bar back behind it. I have made everything transparent that was black in systemui.apk, framework-res.apk, and twframework-res.apk! I'm pulling my hair out :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Maybe you need to modify the launchers. Maybe they put their own bar at the top. Just a guess.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
There is nothing in the TW Launcher included with the theme that resembles a status bar. I also checked my LauncherPro apk and there's nothing there wither. I wonder if the black bar is created by an xml file and not an image?????
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Maybe, I'll look around in LauncherPro and tell you if I find anything.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Well, I'm stumped. I didn't find anything either. Searching just found people having the same problem. It seems LauncherPro just doesn't fill the wallpaper all the way to the top, it stops at the bar and it or android fills the rest with black.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
Yup and the same goes for the twlauncher also. I'm still playing with it. I'm gonna crack open some XML files tomorrow and do some snooping

Can you show me a screen shot?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] argus1185:
This is soo weird, i can't even flash it in recovery. Like it shows that its installed, and then i reboot, no change in anything. Any thoughts?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
If you are running Talon, you need to manually mount system and data in recovery before flashing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] argus1185:
Ahh ok, makes sense. Thanks, ill give it a shot

UPDATE: IT worked! Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
I'd love to shoe you but its just a solid black bar no matter I make transparent. It has to be something with the twlauncher and launcherpro. There must a setting in an XML that resizes the wallpaper or automatically adds padding in place of the notification bar. I can't figure it out. I haven't cracked open the XML files yet though.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
Hey thanks for all of your help! I appreciate it.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Oh you mean the notification bar is always black..... that easy... just an xml edit. The xml is not pointing to the image instead its given a color value. Its in systemui.apk under layout.... statusbar.xml.

Have you done any xml yet?

sent from my continuum powered captivate on tapatalk....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
You don't understand, he has the transparent notification bar working in everything except launchers that aren't AOSP. It's a problem with the launchers, they don't stretch the wallpaper all the way to the top of the screen.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
I guess I didn't..... so it only happens when using twlauncher and launcherpro?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nolco:
So I really like this theme but I'd rather have the 3 buttons at the bottom how serendipity VII comes, and I like the 3d vertical app drawer, how would I change back to that if I got this theme? Sorry I'm kinda a noob, and thanks in advance
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
and Go Launcher and ADW, except ADW has a setting that fixes it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Well from what I understand.... these launchers use 16bit to display the wall paper which causes this and the only workaround is to use a live wallpaper. I believe there are a few apps ("shake them all" and "multiple wallpapers" APP) from the market that allow you to choose a regular wallpaper through live wallpapers. This is the only work around that I am aware of. I haven't tried it myself since I prefer opaque.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dngen:
If I use the add-on pack from Serendipity's website to add the Samsung MMS, will the theme disappear?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
You'll just lose the themed messaging icon.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gil516:
go to settings, application. manage applications, hit the "ALL" tab, scroll down until you see the twlauncher, open it, scroll down to where it reads clear defaults, click that button and hit home. when a window pops up reading "complete action using" select launcher after selecting the use by default for this action box.

Where can I get this GB keyboard from?

I downloaded the theme and pulled out the GingerbreadKeyboard.apk but it gave me the other keyboard. Thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
You can get it in the Android Market. It's called Keyboard from Gingerbread.

N00b question here, I was wondereing if I install this theme and wanted to go back to the stock S7, do I simply flash the Stock S7 Recovery file in CWM?

Man, that is a N00b question :D

Yeah, just flash that and you'll be back in Greenville.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] JayFReaZy:
Thanks for the response bryman, I decided to install this theme and it's great. Something I did notice was after making a call when the "call" and "message" options would come up, the "message" box seems to be cut off a little bit on the right side. Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks for this theme. I love the blue color. This is my first theme to change from stock S7 theme for Bluedipity was too blue for me.

Would be great if the calendar & market would be themed too.

I can confirm.

too blue? :D yeah, it's not for everybody.

HELP !

Ok, so when I first downloaded this everything was fine, now my battery dies within 4 hours when I'm not even using it and its in my pocket and even FASTER when I'm using it I usually don't get over an hour of regular use on internet and all. What's wrong is it the theme or my battery? I tried calibrating the battery but it didn't do anything at all
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Hey timbrendelaz, I've always been a fan of the Matted Blues-esque theme, and this looks great! Before I flash, I have a question: Is the extended power menu and settings themed to match everything else yet? I saw this in the OP

I'm not sure how that looks yet, but is it possible to get a separate flashable add-on that will give us themed settings, or even just stock? I'm just not a big fan of the icons currently being used.

Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
Yes, If you look at the OP there is an image with a grey/blue honeycomb wallpaper and that is the screenshot of the new power control widget.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Oops, I totally misread that quote from the OP. I meant the extended power menu, not power control widget. I know I can grab the settings.apk from SVII myself, but where can I get an extended power menu that's not themed the way you have it?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
The power menu is controlled by framework-res.apk. All the images' names start with "ic_lock_" except for "zzzzzz_ic_lock_data_disable.png" and "zzzzzz_ic_lock_data_enable.png" and are in res/drawable-hdpi of that apk.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Thanks! I'll mess around with it later.

If you have the OTA is there anyway to extract it?

[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
They are too excited with their stock recovery and rom to actually pull the stupid file, rather than SAYING OMG UPGRADZ! Damn kids, I don't want to flash back to stock to get this stupid modem.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
It should be and update.zip file. Check and see how big the new file is. If it isn't over 10mg then you may have a winner. Though we would have flash it through stock maybe also and not through CWM
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Doubt it, i got the OTA and found no Update.zip on my sd card where else would it be?
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
If you installed the update it erases itself usually. You have to pull it before the install. It's like a package in Mission Impossible. It'll self-destruct after a few seconds.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Correct, you have to actually pull the file before it installs. We need someone who gets the OTA and then decides to share. We have a bunch of 10 yr olds with too much excitement here. We need someone, (and I'm about to do it myself) to go to stock and pull the update and post it here for the modem.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
hmm if i downgrade then to EF02 will it ask me to upgrade again you think?
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
You might have to completely redo the whole thing. No idea what triggers OTA's. I'd say try redoing the modem only, if you can.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Ill see what i can do then
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
This OTA does not behave like a typical update where it downloads a file then reboots into recovery mode and installs. It reboots your phone into somekind of download mode and installs from there. I rebooted my phone to get the prompt again and I can't find any sort of file that was downloaded to my SDCard. Now maybe it's somewhere in the actual phone memory but I have no idea where to look.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Yeah same here the phone downloads it confirms with you the installation and reboots.

it is downloaded to the phone but idk where . any clue where it might be?

*Edit* oh and btw when you update the modem it goes in a loop(update to EF02 it tells you to update to EF10, and vice versa)
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
Woah, am I missing something? So EF02 was leaked eairler? But EF10 is offical ota update, and everybody should get it?
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Its just an OTA Modem update not the whole ROM
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
If you install the leaked EF02 and go into "Upgrade Firmware", it actually pushes some sort of OTA that upgrades the baseband to EF10. Problem is once you do that every time you reboot the phone it does an automatic firmware check and wants you to upgrade back and forth from EF02 to EF10 to Ef02 etc.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] geebee1932:
All,

I just came back from my local BB in Colorado. I was looking at the 10.1 but I really would like the 8.9. There was a Samsung rep in the store and although he knew very little about tablets in general he did have a "Samsung playbook" that he let me look at. The book has the 8.9 slated for release in July 2011. Hope that this is true!
[Defy General] CSharpHeaven:
All of us bound to leave Defy one day to get something even better and this is something some of us might need to do sooner than later. I have to say Defy did serve me well as my first venture into smartphones. The very late buggy Android 2.2.2 release kind of dampened my appetite to keep using it for another six months.

The much talk about SGII and HTC Sensation some how don't appeal to me even though both are 10x better than Defy. Durability is not everything but it is a welcome addition design feature for a portable device such as handsets. After going through countless of phone reviews, comments, and opinions I decided not to go for a dual core CPU handset. Android is not going to be truly optimised to take advantage of both cores for sometime to come and also the lower battery usage of dual core CPUs are totally unfounded.

For my needs 1.2GHz or 1.4GHz single core CPU is more than adequate and perhaps a good investment as long as is ARM8 or ARM9 based chip. Also next phone must have 1GB of RAM and with at least a 4" (qHD) screen size. In fairness Motorola's qHD quality is far better than of HTC offerings. My priority needs for a portable device is reading (i.e., books, pdf files, and internet), writing (i.e., Text Messaging, Email, and short posts to internet), and occasional videos. I've been enjoying youtube over wifi with Defy 2.2.2 that never bothered to try on 2.1.

The only handset available in the UK that comes close to my ideal specs for next phone is SE Arc. When I hold Defy in my hand and then the ARC it just doesn't cut it for me. The cheap plastic feeling is really off putting. Looking at the upcoming handset list there is nothing appealing either.

What is your next phone after Defy? Have you recently bought a new phone after owning Defy? Should we wait for Defy II after the experience with Motorola? After all Motorola did conduct a survey about durability with Defy users in the UK so they must have a plan for the next Defy version.

[Defy General] SeaFargo:
Defy 2 or Atrix ...

Atrix should be so fine, but seems to be reallu overpriced ...

Next generation of Defy will be fine ...

I wonbder to have a little more CPU, a better camera and a fullHD hdmi output video signal ...

:D
[Defy General] CSharpHeaven:
Thank you for the responses so far.

@SeaFargo

I consider Atrix as a good phone but two things about it put me off, other than being Motorola's. 1. NVidia Tegra chip: NVidia trying so hard to increase market share for gaming platform. I'm not into games so I feel paying too much for my need. 2. WebTop on Atrix not only makes this phone expensive but also harder for Motorola to update it with every major version of Android. Another feature that I don't need.

@ifu & daniel_loft

I think Nexus 3 is going to be a mind blowing phone and indeed I will be keeping my eyes on it. If it was at the right price and solid built quality then I don't mind waiting for another six months for my next phone.
[Defy General] ollyshaw:
After trashing my previous phone, the ruggedness of the defy is really important to me. The defy is actually a brilliant phone, once you take off the motorola software. The motorola froyo is just filled with bugs. Also for what ever reason the phone is really slow. Put cyanogenmod on however and you have a brill phone.

Whatever my next phone is, I wont be getting one that has a locked down bootloader and motorola software. For now I'm happy with my CM Defy :D

Id really hate to turn this into a "defy 2 wishlist" thread. but here it goes

unlike most other people, id like to see LESS ports.

Delete the headphone jack. Bluetooth audio works fine

Delete the Micro-USB port. Induction charging works.

Make the battery door screwed/bolted on.

the only real wholes should be speakers and mics, which can be made very waterproof. I hate this vaugeness and caution when testing our phones waterproofness. The phone should be really rugged.

I just got a Defy, used, to fill in the time until my HD7 becomes useful ... as of now it can hardly do anything very well and I need a real smartphone.

Let me say that coming from a G2, then to the HD7, and now the Defy, this is the little phone that could! It feels tiny but there's something to be said for a small phone.

And Android is really shaping up to be a highly-functional OS!

This is a great little phone. Can't wait to get rid of MotoBlarghhhh.
