[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Which software you guys use for formating the hdd??....which format you guys use....?...can I use pupply linux for formating the hdd??
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
I am doing this on a rooted a500 running the early release of 3.1 - just used my Windows 7 desktop to format the drive as NTFS - using a free software package from market called "drive mount" which can mount lots of different devices. If you are not rooted - pretty sure the USB drive has to be FAT file system for it to work.

Sure, you can use Linux for the format - plenty of freeware tools for Linux that will do this for you in a nice GUI setting :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
I was planning pn using the gparted partition manager on puppy linux..........is it good enough?......and will my hdd suffer memory loss when I format it to fat32??
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Generally reformatting a drive will delete all data on said drive. Would recommend backing it all up, formatting it - and restoring it.

Do you have root on your Iconica? If so - you should be able to mount the drive pretty much regardless of what format it is in - what type of file system is it?
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
I haven't rooted my device......and I meant free memory loss.....would the hdd size decrease??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Okay how do you get the dock like yours? I see the image but how do you place it there? Also, how do you get the lockscreen like yours? Also what are the power control widget and weather widget? Can you elaborate a little more on how to get these things?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
For the dock... follow the instructions for launcher, if you're still not clear let me know what you're having issues with and I'll try to help...

For the lockscreen, if you want the exact same lock i have, download this attachment and place it on your phone here... data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\themes

Then open widgetlocker, remove the stock locks by pressing/holding and dragging to the little trash can. Then long press anywhere - custom slider - theme.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
What specifically are you having trouble with so I can help? The weather widget is a part of simiClock. Switch pro will do the power control. I also edited the OP with links.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Do I have edit the dock image in a software if I am using yours?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
nope... if you want it to be identical just copy paste brother.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
There is no action to launch the app drawer when I try to add the applications banner.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
nvm this post
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmagfory:
Looking awesome bro!!

would this work with the previous nightlies? don't feel like flashing to the new RC1!

thanks bro
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
I use the Applications banner and the eye merely as decoration... If you want to add action to them then do it the same way you did everything else... If you already assigned no action to them, remove them, re-add them, but this time choose the action you want.

For switch pro, long press anywhere, no background, icon color white, 25% transparent when disabled, indicator color white... then choose your buttons.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
Yep... should work no problem with any rom actually. I just prefer Cyanogen lol. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmagfory:
well work on it now then :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fergie716:
Wow your set up is pretty ace! Thanks for the writeup!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Well I mean is there a way to add the applications banner to actually open up the drawer? There is no menu for it in DV. If you can't, how do you open up your drawer?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
no I don't believe so. I assigned "play" in my dock to open my drawer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Hrm okay. And I'm using the alt images, like the ones in your sig. What is on your third page?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
Really nice looking setup. And thanks for the write up. I've never used desktop visualizer before.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Also, could you make me an image that fits yours with the text "Communication" ? I use Tweetdeck with FB and Twitter.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
Thanks man... no problem.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
??? Look at the first page lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
Yea no problem ... I'm not home right now but ill be swinging by in about 30. Ill whip one up for you
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vanessaem:
Hey, I'm glad you decided to make a tutorial on how you were able to achieve your screens. It looks really hot. Awesome job. :o
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
Thanks, I appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
I made a few tweetdeck ones... they're now in the second post on the first page. If you want something else or the same thing in a dif. color just let me know.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Nvm I am using the tweet deck one thanks. One question, why didnt you make two sets, one with the text on the left, and one with it on the right? Just wonderign so people could have it even
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
When I originally created them I made them how I wanted them... I knew which side of the screen I wanted things... I could flip everything if you want something?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Um not right now, I am /trying/ my hand at finding images. Do you make these? And could you make an XDA one and an iFans one (website) with the text on the right? Doesn't have to be really good, just the logo I guess.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
Yea, I just search for what I want, edit it how I want and then I'm done. I'm actually going to bed right now bro.. I'll post up more for you tomo morning...

On a side note I'm half way done with my next theme.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Okay that is cool. And I am using gimp. I have found images I want to use and scaled them to the right size (found it in the other forum link you posted). I was wondering, none of my fonts seem to look really pleasing. Could you tell me the font you use for these? And could I use it in gimp? Also, in GIMP how do I create the underline. I just can't find a "straight line" tool. Thanks bro

EDIT: YOUR NEXT ONE!? Omg lol, it will probably be even better and then I will have to use it again hahaha
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
I made a couple if anyone likes them. Do you?

Navi isn't the best
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jtjames003:
Am I correct this theme requires root as well. Post one doesn't state if it does.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
That is a good question. I am not sure if anything you have to install requires root.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
Nope no root required at all...

Dj, they're looking pretty good man... if you want the text to be more clear add a small black box that covers the words and then make it see through with the opacity setting.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
And how would I add a black box in GIMP? Lol

Scratch that. I think this is how templates work. When I open the template it can have the underline already on there? And then I add the picture and text? And it can already have the text box parameters set up?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
There should be a box tool... use that, then fill it black, then change the opacity.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
There is a rectangle tool? But I can't fill the whole thing, only pieces at a time
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
I'm not sure what you mean... check out the gimp.org website there are a ton of howtos on there.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Oh okay I colored the whole thing black, don't see a spot for transparency though

Well there is a spot, it is just like "color to alpha" "add alpha channel" Are these right?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
yep... alpha will be the transparency.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Okay well how can I do it? I added an alpha channel. Now do I just add the text there? Cuz when I opened it on my comp and it didn't look too good.

Ohh so when I open it on my phone with a black background it will show black and then I can have my white text?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slugbug2010:
WOW. Very very nice!

I have been wanting to set me Nook Color up similar to this for a long time. With the instructions you gave, I may be able to do it. These kind of widgets look very good on a tablet. Little app icons and widgets that are either too big or too small look out of place on a 7 inch tablet.

I had always liked the "graffiti" type scenes I've seen in the past (jig saw like, if you know what I mean) but this is much much cleaner.

*subscribed*
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
Actually... the next theme I'm doing is going to be a graffiti type... I've got it started but it's still a ways off. I need to finish this pink one first (making a blue and a green version.)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
What is the font you use in your sig screenie?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slugbug2010:
I really like those, very nice
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
:D :D :D thanks :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tgeigel:
I can't wait to get my phone looking like this. Awesome work!!!

Edit: can I use livewallpaper with this setup?

How do you get the missed message and voice on the lock screen?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mchristian:
When I try to stretch the size when creating a widget, it is not allowed. Is LaunchPro Plus needed instead of the free version or am I doing something wrong?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
I don't think you need LPP... should just be desktop visualizer that does that? make sure you're touching the inside part of the little gray triangle.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mchristian:
Completed task, moving on to creating original images. Thanks for the response.

Don't quite know what it is, but when I hit the back button it tells me that stretching is not allowed. I am satisfied with it being 3x3, but some others may be running into the same problem. I like what I have, thanks for the response.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
That's strange... I do have LPP, but I wasn't aware that you needed to stretch. Can anyone else confirm?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Yes you do need LPP to stretch. That's why you should pick the widget you want and not stretch haha.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mchristian:
I tried 4x4 for the eye.png but I could not center it. When I backed down to 3x3 I could. Still looks good, different feel, great look. Thanks for the work put into it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mchristian:
Unless I misunderstood your tutorial in the first post, yes it tells you to stretch and tells you how. The problem comes when you hit the back button and it undoes whatever you did. Not to worry, still a fantastic tutorial.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mchristian:
Ignore, nevermind
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lucky7875:
ok, ok, ok, ok .... maybe i missed something ... 1. I can't seem to get an option for no wallpaper.

2. Can I use the banners (contacts, phone, etc..) to actually open up that specific app/command?

3. What is the "blank-tile.png"?

4. This is awesome.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
1. Should be the first option.

2. Yep.

3. Download the zip in the first post.

4. Glad you like it.

5. Happy 4th... I'm drunk as hell... hope everybody's safe and had a good time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lucky7875:
Happy 4th bro! Thanks for the info. I ended up taking a picture of blackness and using it for wallpaper.

One more question: is there a way to use a banner (I made one) for the open and closing of the app drawer? I can't seem to find a way.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
No you can;t :\
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] staveflyer:
icons for folders?

I hate the way the folders for Launcher Pro looks. With DV I can't launch a folder. Do you know how I could maybe use a different icon for folders? Or maybe this theme would work with GO LauncherEX. I like the look of their folders.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lucky7875:
Booooo .. lol .. thanks bro ... Here's a couple shots of my banners

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
good stuff man.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
What folders are you talking about?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] staveflyer:
You can add a folder to your homescreen and put different apps inside it. Like ... A GAMES folder and you put all your games inside it. that way you aren't scrolling through all your apps in the app drawer or have 43 apps on your home screen.

Does that make more sense?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
yea, just long press on it and you should have an option to "change icon" *edit* that doesn't work...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
here you go...

Download Folder Organizer.

Open Folder Organizer

click Apps - down arrow on icon you want to change - icons - gallery - gallery - then find the icon you want., then click "icons". Pick "Gallery", "Gallery" again, then find the icon you want to use and click on it.

trash the old widget, then add a new widget.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] staveflyer:
Either I'm doing it wrong ....

I don't want to change the icon of an app, and changing the icon for folder isn't an option. I also don't want to use a widget, so I'm lost again.

sorry!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
how do you create the banner under the app name in PS?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
Folder organizer will let you male completely customized folders
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thfc1799:
Can you explain what you mean
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] staveflyer:
Alright, you were close. I googled a bit (I am so sorry I did not do this first. I JUST had my first dose of caffeine and was moody being at work on my 30th birthday, but that is neither here nor there.)

Great Work

Great work!

I read love your work have you thought about a Dropbox account so you could post all your images, wallpapers etc. in so that way you could easily just share your link to the shared Dropbox. Would make it easier on everyone to stay organized. Thanks for all you have shown. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] skndeep102:
I made this theme on go launcher ex the other day just for poops and laughs. It turned out nice but I had to use a 6x5 workspace so the banners wouldn't overlap.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] l1nk3d:
I can't for the life of me figure out how you got the "0 missed calls | 0 unread messages" widget. Can you help me out?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dresr82:
this is dope!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bballing1210:
This is awesome. I have a few questions though. Like others, I'm wondering how you got the 0 missed calls and texts message to show up. Likewise, I'm wondering what the weather and clock widgets you used toward the bottom of your OP are. Also, if possible, could you throw together a SetCPU icon for this themeset? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pyrostic:
+1 I can't figure this out either.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marriedman624:
Looks like the app MissedIt.

Available in the Market.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marriedman624:
Ok, here my monochrome set up. Thanks for the inspiration/how-to.

Lockscreen is still a WIP, so it's not included.

I can't get Jorte to be monochrome, might try messing with the apk if I feel like it. Also, I need to move the text so the bottom of some of the letter isn't cut off.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Can I get that purple theme with the alt colors as well in a zip? Thanks.

Also, whats the battery widget called with just the circle?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vanessaem:
That looks really nice.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chuunarusamurai:
How do you guys have a tight fit between your Banners? Seems like I can only fit 4 at the most.. Or do you guys create more of a collage but then how would you guys get the app to start?

-Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Adjust your rows to 5 and you should be able to add another
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DRatJr:
Um can I get them?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Neptune2633:
Hey just wondering if you have made any new icons? I am using the ones that you posted and have to install with Desktop visualizer. I tried to make some with photoshop but I suck at it. I am looking to make ones for the following apps: Text Message, Maps, Navigation, and GMAIL

Thanks,

how good is his latest versions 29022
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doodaa1:
The Tilt 2 with Energy ROM is the best phone for what I want to do with a phone. Works exactly as I want right out of the "box", plenty fast and updated regularly. I'm working on wearing out my second Tilt2...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rkub:
His newest rom was just an update to 29022 from 29020. Nothin really new on the WM front for a while tho from what I've heard...

Hey 1milenia, what rom is that a picture of? I like that clock and the icons on the top bar a lot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 1milenia:
ill find the cab files for you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rkub:
That'd be great! Love NRG's themes but nothin new for a while... I'd love a new look for my TIlt2!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rkub:
Any luck finding those cabs 1milenia?

If you edit your post or make a new post, below the message area there's an option to attach files. Or are you having a different type of problem posting files?

If you're still havin problems posting maybe just let me know what thread the themes were in....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link1993:
you should try my rom. It's the ocarina rom. Actually as beta and I'm not at home so It's not going forward (I come back the 11th august...). I have to solve the f*cking sense probleme and then it should be great :)

also making a wwe version, it's actualy a fr rom...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rkub:
I'll try it out once you get it finished! Post a link to it here when you're done!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link1993:
I'll do it :)

But you can for now find it in this subforum ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 1milenia:
whats the specs on it

is it 6.5x

do you have a cookie version

is it 2.5 sense
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rkub:
Hey 1milenia, no luck figuring out how to attach files?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link1993:
It is wm6.1, faster and more usefull for multitasking.

I'm actually trying to make run sense on it, and then I'll add CHT

For now, only the lite version works (perfectly with me, just one or two changes and it's ok). It has TF3D 2.1 with sense theme. It's my first rom so don't be angry :D

I won't to have a rom which is fast but looks great too. Hase the perfect multitasking system and for that, I have to stay on wm6.1 because of it's pop-up menus. My TP2 is my Laptop, And I don't often have access to my computer (even boot it on windows, because it's a mac), so a stylus and wm6.1 is perfect. But if I have to do some things with my finger, there is the nice and beautiful sense interface ^^
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link1993:
What I want, is having all the nice features of the last sense rom from HTC (and eaven better, because sense 2012 isn't so fast...) but on wm6.1 and fast. I've tryed lot of roms with wm6.5 and sense, like the NRGs, I really don't like them ! there are to much unusefull things in it's roms, it's for me a cheap chinease copy of a good rom (for me)

The sense look is beautifull with sencity (If i'm correct, it's the dark rom without the sucking blue windows logo), but really to slow ! it's not normal that I have to overclock it...

The best rom for me is the AF roms, simple, not to slow, not to much things, but anyway with good features.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 1milenia:
i should have them on friday
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 1milenia:
tell me if these cabs work

if they do ill attach more
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Anyone know where these two themes might be had?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rkub:
Hey 1milenia, taskbar attachment works great so far! I wonder if we can get NRG to update 1 of the themes with it cooked in... Be great to have a new look... Haven't tried the volume cab, don't really care bout changin that. Do you happen to have the cab for the green lum-tec clock? Really likin that...

@CFB I really like the look of those as well but wonderin what program is bein used with that. Would you happen to know?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Well, the actual CE look is baked into the SYS of the wm builds. It is only a few reg changes away from that, but there were some themes like those two that were floating around a while back. I just never bothered with them until I saw them now. I would imagine that they are either CE skins or a titanium mod. I'm not entirely certain as searching for them has been fruitless so far. I figured if the OP is posting pictures of them, he may know where those themes hang out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rkub:
Oh wow, that's good to know. Glad you checked out this post...lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 1milenia:
ill look it up
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 1milenia:
cajun i have that somewhere
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Ok. Well, please do let me know when/if you find it. It would be a nice addition to my already impressive booting abilities on my Leo. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
I have a question about battery calibration.

After I deleted batterystats.bin, the meter seems to be working fine (prior to deletion, battery meter was not correct - for example, only 50% battery was remaining, but battery meter would be around 70%.

Anyway, do I have to calibrate battery each time I flash new/upgrade ROM?

I've been changing to different ROMs frequently nowadays to find best battery ROM. So I was wondering if I have to calibrate battery each time I flash new ROM.

Thank you!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
Honestly I dont think it matters much. I've heard arguments both ways but what I do is I calibrate when I first get me phone (or a new battery) and thats it. I get great battery like even going between roms
