Draft of Instructions for Live Tiles: more info/screens soon.

The font closest to what I used in the V1 icons is Jersey M54- click here to download from DaFont.

The font for the serif tiles is DejaVu Serif Condensed.

The best way to make 'live' tiles, frankly, is to apply the icons to your wallpaper, then put whatever text widgets you'd like on top. You can put the icon down as a widget using Desktop Visualizer then apply another text widget on top if your home launcher supports 'overlapping widgets' during customization. This will work...or it won't. Often, people say it works until the phone is rebooted - then presto, chango, the widgets are unstacked.

I am sure that some of you have mastered 'make your own widgets' like Chronotopia or M-clock, and can then use the icon as the backdrop with the desired text on top - I hope to give these or other similar apps a try in the near future, but I myself find it preferable just to mess with the wallpaper :)

There are blank email, gmail, call, sms, calendar and clock icons enclosed within all versions.

I have used SMS unreadcount mods on all the tiles- the easiest way is to apply the icons to your paper, then put a transparent icon for the SMS unreadcount bubble. I have done the same with ADW Ex notification bubbles, using ADW Ex to make the icon for the gmail/phone/sms icon a blank image over the top of the paper. I am glad to help out with this process :)

This Looks Amazing!! But I'm Having No Ideas On How To Use Them!! This Sucks Lol
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
Sorry, I was just updating the thread with another color scheme and instructions. :)

Basically they icons are:

1. png's to apply to your wallpaper in a photo editor - put them wherever you want, then use transparent icons/shortcuts/widgets on top - a lot of people use Desktop VisualizR to do that.

2. Apply with Desktop VisualizR using the images as the actual widgets; you can use any image to as a widget/shortcut. This limits the size of the icon to whatever your grid layout is for you screen. So if your grid is a vageuly squarish setup - like 4 columns by 6 rows - then the image would be resized to fit in this space. That means you're somewhat restricted on how closely you can place icons/images together, and where they can go on your screen. That's why I personally use method 1.

3. Also, some home launchers (like ADW) will let you replace default icons with your own images. This has the same restrictions as 2.

I promise to do a step-by-step and link TUTs for this by tomorrow with screen shots.

In the meantime, I am happy to apply the icons to a wallpaper of your choice if you are familiar with using Desktop VisualizR- that allows you to put transparent shortcuts on top for anything you want. I would need your paper, grid layout, and phone model/resolution.

Come back soon for more, sorry for the delay :) MP

[Android Themes] milesjohnson:
love love love these icons. so unique! one problem though is they seem a little blurry when i use desktop visualizer...is this normal? i used to 2x1 widget
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
hiya! just got home from class. Lemme pour a coke and do a test run and see what's up for ya - I have only applied them directly to the paper - I know, how silly, not considering my audience - so I will have to try this out. BRB :)
[Android Themes] milesjohnson:
ok thanks! knowing me its probably just something I'm doing wrong lol. everyones setup with these icons looks so nice though!
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
well...

Yeah, not so much. At least from my POV. Bear with me:

I created these as roughly half of a full icon that one would create for Android - but they are rectangular. So while I halved the height, I didn't really account for people using them wider than almost one third the screen. Observe:

1. I use a 6 columm by 10 row setup, no dock or not. bar. So when I apply them to the wallpaper, as at bottom, they are nice and sharp. The DVR - same icon file, mind you - is a little scuzzy at 2x1. This is not something I can control to my knowledge, since DVR resizes and stretched all images to fit within a given user's setup.

2. Resize the widget to 4x2, and Houston that is ugly.

3. Use the ever popular 4 columns and 6 rows, and the icon looks to small. Double it to 4x2, and same problem:

So here's the good and the bad.

Bad news first: for the moment, you are stuck using them in (roughly) the proportions I have, or getting to know the GIMP to put them on wallpapers. Yeah, this is an ugly solution, and not one I would ever expect of my audience. I am still learning lots of things about GD - I just learned not to presume desired dimensions of users. :o

Good news: I will endeavour to manually resize the images to double their current width so that you wonderful Android folks can use them any darn way you please. This will take me a couple of days at the least, since I will have to redraw the rasters and highlights - why, oh why, didn't I draft these in Inkscape or a vector editor...blah, blah, ignore me while I kick myself repeatedly.

I apologize for the hassle, and hope to have lots o' updates soon.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and I will message you when I have at least the first version updated. -MP
[Android Themes] milesjohnson:
Oh no problem take your time! Really fell in love with these icons. their great. I was just curious if there was anything i could do to get the icons a little crisper with desktop visualizer. either way the 2x1 setup is near damn perfect. thank you for these great icons again mellisapugs!
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
You are more than welcome, and thanks for the complements:) I'm really glad you brought this up, since I know many folks love the 6 row 4 column setup - put 'em on that way with DVR and they are teenty tiny or UGLY.

[Android Themes] adbazym:
love the latest pink icons, but i still dont use any of yr icons on my phone yet. btw how to put the icons on wallpaper? lol sorry for nub question. thanks.
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
Hey there,

I'm glad you like the pink ones. If you look on the first page of the thread, there are some very basic instructions (and links for tutorials) for DesktopVisualizr - it's an app that let's you use any image as a widget.

I am trying to finish all my school work so I can write my own TUT for the icons and DVR sometime over the weekend. Until then, see where the tutorial links in the first post and this get you.

Install Desktop Visualizr from the market - free.

Save images on your sd card.

Long press on home screen.

Select Desktop Visualiz 2 columns by 1 row.

Select the icon of choice.

Select what app it takes you to.

Until I resize the other versions over the weekend, I would say they work best on a larger number of columns and rows - I use 6 columns, 10 rows, and each widget looked best when you chose 4x1 and resized instead of 2x1 as I said above - those are just the proportions of the icons.

GL :) Check back soon for tuts.
[Android Themes] adbazym:
thanks, ill try use desktop visualizer first. look forwards for ur tuts.
[Android Themes] sweetpiggy:
melissa,

wrong link for v1.1 bigger version? i can't find the pack neither on your blog :(
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
MY BAD! Wordpress shortened the links. The Click here should work now. :)

PS: I will document a tut later, but these newly bigger ones look best at a 2 row 1 column ratio, and the DVR option you select for widget size - 2x1, or 4x2 - should be closest to the display size you want in advance. Resizing a 2x1 to a 4x2 will stretch the image, but selecting 4x1 and expanding it 1 row will do the trick for a larger icon. Please let me know if this makes sense :)
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
2 resized version are on the first post, hope to put out the glass ones this evening. :)

are you going to be releasing any wallpapers with icons already on it?? im interested in making a setup in that way so i can use sms unread etc etc
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
I would be more than happy to :) In order to cater to anyone who wants them, I think it might be best to get you to pick your paper, or give me an idea about what style/image you'd like. I will also need the layout you plan to use, including whether you'll be using a dock or notification bar. Also, let me know which icons you'd like, and in which style.

Also, if you or anyone else is interested in a GIMP tut in how to do so, just let me know so I can film it. I was planning on editing a DVR tut this evening to put up for people having DVR issues, but I think the icons look best (and have features like you mentioned) when they are applied to the paper itself.

[Android Themes] LudoGris:
Any chance for pst files of these? i have a lot of apps I would love to see this with, though I don't want to bother you with them.
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
Sure. However...

1. I made these in Paint Shop Pro. The text and vector shapes won't open in Photoshop (I tried when I got Photoshop last month). I wish I had time to re-make them all in CS5, but it's just not in the cards. If you open them in GIMP or CS5, the text isn't editable and the rectangles can't easily be re-colored. You could make your own new text layers and just retint the rectangles, glad to give you the details on the fonts. Ignore this info if you have Corel Paint Shop Pro.

2. Each and every icon is a layered file - I wish I'd had one master file for each version, but I was really new to graphic design when I started these. Glad to give them all to you, but in the interest of saving file size, perhaps you can tell me which version you're interested in specifically.

3. I am more than glad to make whatever icons you'd like in PaintShop Pro. Let me know which version you want, and which apps, if that's the case. :)

I don't think he's asking how to actually delete them, I think he's asking if he downloads a movie can he delete the movie than install it again for free. Since most movies are a whole gb I can understand why people would want to. I believe to can, when you pay and download the movie you actually own that copy which tells me you can delete and install anytime you see fit.

That's exactly what I'm asking. There's a penny deal going on this week and I downloaded a Dave Chapelle episode for a penny, so I think I'll try to delete and redownload. It'd be no big deal if lost since it'll only be a penny to buy back. Thanks for the reply.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
Glad to help. Just in case you didn't know or realize, all of your purchases are assigned to your media user name, so you can even install them on a different phone just as long as it has the samsumg media hub and you use your media user name.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Figured it out completely. If you delete an item it stills shows up in the My Media section as watchable but with a download symbol next to it. It stays in your library as simply a placeholder to tell that you own it. And if you want to reinstall you just click the DL button and it's back on your device. Thanks again man, your help was much appreciated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
I've heard and read a couple of reports and reviews stating that the ET4G doesn't do noise cancellation unlike the international SGS2...firstly, I was looking for some confirmation from the users here that that's true...

I ask this because, well, there's two mic's in the ET4G (the 2nd one is up near the earpiece, and the hole it uses is actually the right side of your earpiece grill)

I'm guessing what they did, assuming there is indeed NO noise canellation, is use the 2nd mic for speakerphone mode, exactly like the OG Epic (which is a little known fact; the OG Epic also has a 2nd mic up in the earpiece).

So, if that's the case, I'm hoping it's possible to hack together a noise cancellation mod, possibly borrowing from the SGS2's code?

Hello to everyone.

I am a newbie with Android, and I understand now that to erase the application data I have first to delete the data from the button "delete data" and then I have to uninstall the application.

If I uninstall any app without erasing the data first, the data remains in SD Card.

How do I delete the application data now that I uninstalled long ago?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
the "delete data" deletes the info stored in /data, not /sdcard. If you want to deleted info on your card, all you need is a file explorer, go find the folder your app uses, and delete the folder.
