Working on adding some system items and larger icons. Biggest issue here is email, which we can't seem to find a way to link to, as it's on a per-account basis, and we don't know the tokens for them
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lovenokia:
i have this program on my device but i cannot open any of the applications that i applied this theme to. Is this normal or have you not implemented this?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jaxbot:
Not normal. Did you make sure to add /_default to the GUIDs?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] starsoccer9:
Just so I make sure I hear this right your app basiclly just launches itself right away? Also does this mean when I press the start button what is really happening is i am being directed to the homescreen and then the homescreen is directing me to your app?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jaxbot:
...No?

This is the actual homescreen.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] derausgewanderte:
LOL. that would be a homescreen in layers and I immediately thought of....

anyway, can't wait for the next version with fixes. The background image spanning over tiles is Parfait. thank you!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jaxbot:
I've been.. trolled? Or more... ogred ;)

Anyway, new version with fixes is up. Rush job, but it should clean up most of the common issues.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] starsoccer9:
Lmao ok I understand now. On a differnt note if I install this app and then unistall it will it remove all the custom tiles I have. Also is the xap file just the one theme you select.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] CruciasNZ:
Cheers for the reply, that's unfortunate regarding the Emails. Perhaps you should focus on linked inboxes. Just say the Themes only support fully linked email boxes.

The commands for linking should make it easier to locate the app (at least in my mind it would oO)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lovenokia:
i am not sure what you mean? can you explain?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] derausgewanderte:
ok, just tried this but I am having problems. I can apply my own background image to the default theme, however when I click "Background Theme" and add an app from the market I get the app but as soon as I add one single app, I cannot apply a background image. When I get out of this window and back to main, nothing changed. Still shows the default. Shouldn't it now show the newly added app and the arrangement I made under "Background Theme"? It doesn't.

When I add an app from the main window and remove apps it works fine. I cannot reorder apps though. When I then open "Background theme" to reorder what I just added and apply a background, I only see the default list. I can add a background and it's applied to the main window, however the app order is from the default and my added apps are at the end of the list. I cannot re-arrange in the main window. Again, as soon as I add an app in "Background Theme" I cannot apply a background. None of the apps added on that level are reflected in the main window.

Several times now I added my apps in the main window and was able to apply a background, however the tiles and apps in the main window reverted back to default as soon as I applied the background. I give up for now.

I am clearly missing something.

Never mind, just saw this post by Joe on Jaxbot's site.

"As of now, you have to manually add them to the "customs.txt" file in order for them to become default when making a new theme."
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Dyskmaster:
first off, ten thousand thanks for this, and second of all, does anyone have a link to where I can download the wp7 default app tiles (just the tiles in .png form) in the many different color schemes of wp7? a google and bing search yielded nothing useful. Thanks again!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] d3kk:
what about the homebrew live tiles? :)

Hmmm who can make Office icon theme for WP7? I'd like all icons like Office icon.

I mean background.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] derausgewanderte:
Jaxbot, shocked to see that you haven't received more "Thanks" for this. I just added my daily limit ;)

Looking forward to version 2 ;) no rush! It's great to see that this actually works.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Dinchy87:
i have made an theme with the office icon. in the default icons you have an office png that is transparent, and that one you can use... or not? :S

look at my theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20271624#post20271624

or here the picture

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

try to draw them yourself, find on google the right picture and then use the various tools to make an icon out of that picture... :) the color is just a second job to when you have an finished icon...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] noirepyh:
Fantastic new app :) Working on my theme right now.

Question though; does anyone know the GUID for the internal Gmail-inbox?

Or a way to find it?

So I can also create a nice themed icon for my Gmail inbox :)

I've found "5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5614" at this site:

-unable to post urls unfortunately-

But it doesn't work..

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sinister1:
This is just a question. Is anyone working on getting the live tiles to work? This looks awesome but I can't tell if I received emails or phone calls. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] JamesAllen:
Amazing

This is amazing and I am working with it now, great start. But, the Metro UI with its live tiles is the heart of WP7, isn't it. The whole point of live tiles is to help you see what is changing in your life. Without live tile support, one loses a great deal of value from WP7. But, a great start nonetheless.

wow great tool, thank you for sharing this!!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] poloche:
Very good job Jaxbot ;)

I'm very happy to custom my tile !!

​
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] JulietteOnXDA:
It is indeed interesting to see, how themes tend to ignore the main style of wp7.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] itje:
Thats the idea of skinning..to have alternatives... :-)

But personally...I like it minimalistic...and I enjoy the live tiles..so a theme that crashes with a live tile is not an option

But its great to be able to skin tiles like spotify etc, that has a static color and don't change with accents
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jaxbot:
Hey, great stuff people, thanks for all the feedback! And some of you are very talented with the art ;)

I've got a busy day today and will be away from my computer, but I'll be sure to respond to the major issues and try and get a newer version out soon. I've already got some performance fixes in queue, and I'll read up on your suggestions/bug reports and try to implement them, too.

Hang tight, folks :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] contable:
Thanks for the app ! After folders app the next step forward.

The only problem I see is the missing live-tile support.Without live tiles the WP is reduced to an iphone.

I think live-tile support will only be possible on full unlocked devices like the HD7 ... but who knows...

Keep up your great work !

Cheers

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nettwerk:
Well I haven't dev unlocked phone, but I'd like to share with little preview:

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] roqstr:
sry, but it seems to be useless without livetile support. (nearly) Every Tile is going to be a livetile :/

hope you get a solution.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] JulietteOnXDA:
Will all live tiles break, or just the ones I changed?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cocotehier:

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jackrabbit72380:
so what directory can i get the default tiles & icons from in windows p7 anyway?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jaxbot:
They are stored inside the resource DLLs, so you can't really get to them easily. If there's an icon you need, though, I might be able to track it down.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jaxbot:
Finally got a little pocket of time to myself ;) Read through all your posts and here's some things to address:

1) I'm not sure where the tokens for linked inboxes/regular inboxes are. They have a parameter, but I don't know what it is. Probably a random GUID, which is bad news.

The background theme generator is separate. Or at least, is currently. It generates a theme from a background. It's the equivalent of creating a new theme from scratch. I'll see about how to improve this in the next version I've got in queue, though.

Very glad at all the feedback, too! Lots of work to do, but the Thanks makes it worth it (:

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] risq:
So I think I've read what I needed to know now...but just to clarify...i can edit my 3rd party tiles whilst not wrecking my live tiles ( want YouTube, xda etc to be blue like the rest of my tiles)

Is that possible?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Magpir:
Not possible for now

That requires changing the original tiles itself . This app doesn't do that , it makes a duplicate og the original with a different look .
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] risq:
So I can't do it just for two or 3 apps without the others? So I can't just edit a .png with the xda and YouTube text in white with a blue BG and change the location of the icon shortcut..? I assumed that's how this worked...no?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] shawndotting:
I am asking the developers that be to cook a ROM with a difference....maybe like a wallpaper behind the tiles or the list....or a different front screen that does have the tiles. I have been flashing any new cooked ROM but they all have the same tile screen.....the difference is the addition of languages......please DFT, intrinsic and all the others...pleaseeeee

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] pepelepieux:
Hello,

First of all thank you for your work, it's really great.

I know the tiles are just "links" to the apps but I used my custom "people" tile, the transition time between the home screen and the People hub is a tad longer than with the original People tile.

Anyone experienced the same thing ?

It's no big deal, but I a bit OCD ^^
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sinister1:
Merry Christmas
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] derausgewanderte:
just my humble opinion. no matter what I use, I always end up going back to the simplicity of the originals. I like the idea of a contineous background over several tiles, however anything else in terms of modded tiles (3D, themes)leaves me with the impression of "butchered".
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] supercain:
check out my tiles

do you like?:D
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sinister1:
I like.:D now all we need is to figure out how to ad a background. I hope Santa Clause gives us this for Christmas. LOL.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] scoobysnacks:
So from what I've read, you lose all live tile capability?

If so, that hardly seems worthwhile
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sinister1:
That's why I only change the static icons. It sucks that we can't figure out a reg hack to change the original tiles instead of just making copies of them, then we would have the ability to use custom live tiles but for now this is cool. What I do is I just choose or make a costume tile that is similar in color to my theme.:cool:

is it possible to make big tiles like the htc hub?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jackrabbit72380:
well i have put alot of work in on an extencive set of full color default icons and i realy need a full defaut icon set to make sure i have all sizes right i need to test! and also the default and name of the dll and xbmod says he will make an update cab for me if i can make the dll he helped me get started on teh icon pack!

the reason is i want the tiles to stay live!

i also need a plane to match and want to use txt icon from winmo6.5 if you can get any of these icons it would help alot! n thnakx!

also any info on how i could buld the whatever name dll file.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cgibsong002:
so it seems some people say you can and some people say you can not edit some tiles but not others. like many have said i'm not using this if I sacrifice live tiles. but for some static tiles that don't match my theme, i'd love to change these. if possible, how can i do this without changing my other live tiles?

looks like a good prog. Just need more pre-made themes and I can see users are posting.

[Omnia 7 General] chicagodesi786:
Hello,

I recently updated my Omnia 7 through Zune. After that I started getting errors where the charging sign would flash even though it was off the charger and the lockscreen would always stay on. Last week I got a message on my phone saying that there is an update available. I plugged the phone in and all I get from Windows is an unknown device error. I've tried it on several different USB ports as well as 2 different Windows 7 laptops and an XP desktop machine, all with the same error. I've even tried different USB cables. Please help me in resolving this issue as I love my Omnia 7 and want to keep it up to date and Zuned in to my PC. Here are my specs:

OS Version: 7.10.7720.68

firmware revision: 2424.11.9.2

hardware revision: 3.15.0.4

radio software: 0424.11.8.1

radio hardware: 0.0.0.800

bootloader: 5.9.0.6

Chip SOC: 0.36.2.0

Thanks!!!
[Omnia 7 General] DJBlaster-303:
hello,

did u mess with diagnosis app??

dial ##634# and press call, then dial *#7284# and be sure it's zune sync selected

did it worked before zune update??? if yes, revert to backup and try again to update

in diagnosis dial also *#1234#

and list your phone version

my 2 cents
[Omnia 7 General] chicagodesi786:
Hello,

I did do the Zune sync version check and it is set to Zune sync. I did the *#1234# and this is what I got:

PDA: I8700XXK12

Phone: I8700DXKH1

CSC: I8700XSOK12

I'm pretty much at a loss at this point:(
[Omnia 7 General] DJBlaster-303:
ok, so you can't get phone recognized from usb plugging and you can't use zune, no possibility to use the backup :mad:

but at least the music is safe in your laptop and the contacts in windows live..

is your phone branded to something??? looks like it's from singapore, so could you send mms & sms with your provider????

anyway it's difficult to say what happened, I have no idea

these methods unfortunately will wipe your phone from all your things

you could try

1: reset from settings, pushing the button (in the page where you find phone software version)

2 format: if you can enter format by powering on with volume down and camera button pressed

3 flash: if you can enter download mode by powering on with volume up and camera button pressed

here you have to check this thread in the forum and choose a rom

i'd say go with Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJJ6 ALL PROVIDERS with tmobile uk csc

or Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJL3 RETAIL UNITED KINGDOM

this is only my idea because I am not sure what's best for you in US

maybe some other user could help better

best of luck with your phone

;)
[Omnia 7 General] chicagodesi786:
Hello DJ,

Thank you so much for your help so far, I've tried everything you have suggested, but the main issue is that the computer will not detect the phone, even after installing the Samsung USB drivers. All I keep on getting is unknown device. On the XP desktop at work, I get the error message "USB Device not recognized" message, however the phone does charge, so obviously something is happening. I've tried different USB ports front and back, but no avail. I love this phone and I do not want to go back to an iPhone or an Android:(
[Omnia 7 General] DJBlaster-303:
try to be more specific, what did you try? soft reset? format?

if it's still not recognized i'm starting thinking it's an hardware problem and you have to bring it to repair center, :(
[Omnia 7 General] chicagodesi786:

[Omnia 7 General] chicagodesi786:
Hello DJ,

The problem is that Windows won't even detect the phone in download mode, not even a popup message comes up saying that device has been detected. At least when the phone is not in download mode, I get the message unknown device or USB device not recognized. Do I need to let it stay plugged in for like 10 minutes before Windows detects it when the phone is in download mode?
[Omnia 7 General] DJBlaster-303:
ok, I understand, I think the only way now is to go to a repair center :( I have no more ideas
[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:
It might as well be your computer, try another one before you seek professional help ;)
[Omnia 7 General] chicagodesi786:
Thank you DJ for taking the time to assist, it most certainly is frustrating because it truly is a great phone. I have tried to do the update on several different computers, but for all I get the same issue, USB device unrecognized:( I wish there was a way to truly reset the phone so that it goes back to the

original

OS and then I could update to 7.5
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Strategist:
The other game thread has a nice list of games which are compatible with the Note but I was wondering which games are really suited to the Note and make best use of its hardware.

In particular which games make really good use of the 5 inch screen? Air Attack HD looks great. Board games like chess are better on the bigger screen. Great Little Wargame which is a turn-based strategy game also makes good use of the screen. Are there any others?

Secondly are there any good games which work well with the S-pen? Aside from the crayon physics game which comes installed I haven't really come across any.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] apprentice:
I don't think I could play Airport Mania without an S-Pen now, it gave me high scores thanks to being able to quickly select elements on the game screen that fat fingers often missed!
