=> Hello World <=

Unfortunately there is (until now) no full LCARS Theme for Android. So I decided to work on this and document all my steps.

This thread will be a summary of all useful LCARS things and I hope you are a part of this growing process.

You also have a chance to follow this Tutorial step by step to style your Device in the same way (if you would like to) ;)

Note: This is NOT a Theme you simply can install - This is only a guidance how to get a LCARS look like Homescreen.

You have to invest -some- time to get it working yourself!

=======================

Last Thread Update: 09.08.13

First I would like to start with my finished Screens, so you can see the progress and changings:

tyr it or not?

Hi,

I use everytime Apex, with 213 dpi!

i want try your job on 4.1.2!

good or bad idea?

bently
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Freezy1982:
Hmm, I haven't checked my DPI Resolution yet. I don't even know which one I am using right now.

How or where to check that?

I think you can try that. JB should not be such different according to Apex...

But please wait a little bit before you start, until I finished the Tutorial in Post#2 - If I'm not ready in time you probably get stuck and you get an "under construction" Homescreen :angel:

Edit your build file

u find it on lcd Density!

i can test,

i can ride with other rom!

when u want!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Freezy1982:
THX for your suggestion, but there's only a bit of time for me in the next two days to finish the tutorial included the needed Wallpapers and Icons for the Homescreen. Please don't rush on it...

My DPI = 320

Could that be a Problem with DPI = 213, if you use the same Grid in Apex as me?

Let's test that in a few days, if you want. No need to change your ROM. If anything doesn't fit on your screen (Wallpaper or Icon drifts), we will know more...

(If you make a backup of your Apex Settings before, all Changes should be undone after restoring)

GreeZ,

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] bently73:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] bently73:
DPI

DPI 213, on SlimRom

​

DPI 320, on the same Rom

​
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Freezy1982:
Ah ok,

I think I will have to add the DPI = 320 at the first Post. Another density may cause glitches, if you customize your Screen like I did.

But anyway - I would like to test this. Maybe I only have to resize the Icons for other DPIs.

I will let you know, if I am ready - so you can test this.

- Update: 18.11.12 -

New Thread Update:

- Theme finished (see Post#1)

- Download for Background, Icons and Custom Widgets added (see Post #2)

- Tutorial nearly finished - will be updated soon!

@ Bently73: It would be a pleasure for me, if you can test "installing" this theme by my tutorial - need some feedback, if it is understandable.

And I would like to know, if this theme is working for another phone with (or without) a Resolution of 320 DPI than mine.

@ All experimenteers: Please remember - it is a pre-alpha... It is not tested on another phone yet :eek: Test on your own risk and give me a feedback - THX

I hope that this project is not dead!

I've been wanting for something like this for Android for quite some time now and have only recently begun actively doing research into this.

Finding this tread over past weekend was amazing.

I would be happy to be a tester!

I have actually already started applying your work on my rooted Kindle Fire 7 inch.

I have a few differences from your setup that I can describe in detail if you like.

Even though some of the lcars icons don't line up perfectly on the first home screen (screen 1), the spacing is working out quite well almost everywhere else.

The layer screens had to be resized for the Kf screen/dpi; resizing them to the 600*1024 resolution then shrinking the image in the canvas down a few pixels made the layer screens fit perfectly.

Would like to know more about the other widgets you have in your pics (calendar, weather, ect)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] gijoe50000:
SWEET!!

Going to give it a go myself there now....:good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Freezy1982:
Hey soundwave4,

as you can see at the feedback to this Thread, I decided to stop this project and finish this for only my device.

I'm glad that you would like to test it, or you have already done in a few steps.

Sadly I don't know if it will work on your Fire 7 properly in any time, because I do not know, if the APEX-Version for Tablets are still the same (in Resolution and Screen-Icon-Placements) as for Smartphones. And there is no lanscape mode planned...

Additionally I am very busy in this time with work and life and I only have the time to answer your questions or to give some advices to you how to fix some bugs.

1) Do you use Portrait or Landcape Mode? Did you adjust the Icon Layout in APEX Settings?

2) Please post a screenshot

3) All Widgets which are used in this Theme are posted in Post #2 - please use google and you will see ;)

GreeZ,

Freezy1982
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] gijoe50000:
update...

started applying on Galaxy S3..

Had to squish the width of the wallpapers down to 720px, and the icons down to 88-90px ish... to get a good fit. used photoshop batch edit for the icons.

Using UCCW to create a few of my own widgets clock/weather etc..

I think its more fun creating a theme from a template like yours than just downloading a theme, learn a lot about customising.

Many thanks,

I'll post a few screenshots later..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Freezy1982:
Wonderful - Great work - I'm looking foward to your Screenshots!

Maybe you would like to share your setup here on the first Post with your Name ;)

You are also welcome to customize the Backgrounds to another Layout.

Maybe you have got the time to create a new Landcape Version of this skin - I'm too busy for this right now, but it would be great to have a tablet one as well!

Keep on!

GreeZ,

Freezy1982
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] gijoe50000:
Yea sounds good man.

Name is Gijoe50000 .Landscape mode would definately be on the agenda as well. I may get started on that soon, once I get the portrait mode finished

Mine is looking quite similar to yours so far, although I don't really have any games installed so I may create a media page instead. Photoshop time!

I have also added a lockscreen

I created this using Widgetlocker, and used UCCW for the "missed calls/text". You can make these clickable using the hotspot feature in UCCW.

The unlock slider and icons are built into widgetlocker.

download image for lockscreen here https://www.dropbox.com/s/e8w6oo1fbn6o0gu/Lockscreen.png

This image is 720x1280 for Galaxy S3 so if it's a bit off a bit of simple photoshopping should do the trick, or open the image on your phone and take a screenshot in fullscreen to get the correct dimensions! :)

I'll post a link for 1280x720 backgrounds, and matching icons for S3 in a day or two once I get them finished..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Freezy1982:
Awesome! Really great work on this - keep on! :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] JacobT13:
Just wondering if you plan on continuing the tutorial for this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Freezy1982:
There will be time for this soon. But for now I'm very busy on work & life - so there is a little bit delay on this.

But most of the tutorial is already finished. Some tuning by yourself and you will get it ;)

There was some time to create a new lockscreen...

- Post#1 updated -

This lockscreen is the stock one of the newest CyanogenMod for Galaxy Note.

Simply added a new fitting wallpaper and arrange some dislocations and this was done.

Unfortunately there is no possibility to get the backround as bright as the front layer (clock) - But it's ok until there will be an update for this :p

Customize for Galaxy SII.

Dear all,

please, could someone help me with customisation of this great theme pack for my Galaxy SII? I tried wallpapers and it is nice, but the items are too small for practical usage. I think it is bigger resolution than I can use. I know, that on small resolution there will be no enough place for all items, but it will be more functional :) Thank you for replays.

Sepp
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Freezy1982:
Hi Sepp,

unfortunately this is the point of the most work on this. You have to create a new Backround for each page in a new resolution to locate the new icons and widgets.

This theme is optimized for a big Screen (5" or bigger) - And you are right, it is too small to be handy.

I think you have to invest a lot of time to create your own Backgrounds fitting to your resolution and needs... of course you can use mine as a reference ;)

I'm sorry!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerstin.kornett@web.de:
Hi,

sorry in advance for my English - I am from Germany... :)

Maybe this is a stupid one but I am struggeling with rooting my kindle fire. Before running the installing_drivers.bat the Kindle was shown as 'Kindle' in the device manager after installing the drivers as 'Android Composite ADB Interface' which seems to be correct.

After starting run.bat I always get the following messages:

ooops... something went wrong

We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire.

Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.

trwp.img has been found.

fff.bin has been found.

Fastboot uses a different device than ADB

you should check device manager for Kindle or Amazon

if you see it rerun the driver installer that came packaged with KFU

installing FFF

#waiting for device#

now - nothing happens any more. Any idea what went wrong or what kind of mistake I made? (The kindle is plugged in an powered on ;))

Thanks for your support

Does your device enter fastboot? Does kfu indicate your device online boot status 4000. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923010
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerstin.kornett@web.de:
All I can see it the message I mentioned before.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
When you start kfu with your device plugged in it should indicate the status of the device, whether its online or offline and the boot status. This is a first gen kindle fire isn`t it?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerstin.kornett@web.de:
And exactly that is the problem, it showed the device online the very first time I tried it but also showed this 'oooops.... something went wrong, we are unable to locate your kindle fire' in the beginning. It stuck with the message 'waiting for device'. after an hour or so I disconnected the device and gave it another try since that time I always get the above described message and do not get any more to the info if device is on or offline. Attached a screenshot of the failure message. :crying:

And yes it is a first gen.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Yeah I cant open that file you attached but if it says waiting for device simply try powering it off then back on again as well did you read my tutorial?
[Motorola Droid 4] wjones:
This seems to be the most elusive resolution ever. Perhaps you guys can help me out.

Was on rooted stock JB. Toggled safesystem ON. Flashed AOKP 10/22. Booted but buggy. Went back to Safe System to Toggle OFF and continue to get "Error while restoring /data" and unable to disable safe system. Now I'm stuck with a boot loop on the AOKP logo.

I'm sure that if I wipe and re-flash AOKP 10/22 zip I'd be able to boot again BUT that doesn't resolve the inability to toggle safe system back off. At this point I think I need to restore everything back to factory, lose root and then reroot, reflash from there. I can't find current info on restoring to factory, unroot for the Droid 4 on JB.

Help me fix the safe system toggle issue or other suggestions to "sbf" and start over.
[Motorola Droid 4] wjones:
So, it appears that I was running an old version of Safe Strap. v 2.x. I uninstalled it and updated to 3.x from hash of codes. Now it looks totally different and I don't even think that safe mode/unsafe mode is relevant. Perhaps that is why I couldn't find anything current on the issue. Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] Ekril:
as a Linux Mint user i am used to use DuckDuckGo.

i will give this app a try.

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] PamelaGirl:
Very nice SprigganMaster!

Any instructions to code the app to the Devices search button to bypass the Google built-in search completely?

T.I.A.
[Android Apps and Games] SprigganMaster:
Thank you for your kind words PamelaGirl.

I don't think it's possible on stock. Maybe if you are root and are using a ROM allowing you to remap the soft/hard key.

I know you can register your app to be a provider for Google Search but I'll need to dig a little bit to see how it should be done.

I'm proud of DuckDroid but without a better Web API from duckduckgo, I don't think the app could be build to be a real search application.

Duckduckgo dev has published their new app yesterday. My advice is to try it. :)

Their app is much more complete and offer great feature on top of duckduckgo and their zero click api.

See here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duckduckgo.mobile.android

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] PamelaGirl:
Hello again SprigganMaster,

Thank you for the response.

Yes I am on a custom ROM and will try to figure this out.

Need to figure out how to remap the search key with only a single press and not a long press.

Coming from the iphone I wanted less Apple in my life, and now with this Android device I REALLY want even less google in my life!

Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work/vibes!

hey robrob777, I noticed that on picture 8 and 11 the front flap doesn't fit properly over the screen after being folded to the back? (there's a small gap between one of the segments and the N7 screen)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] KiNG OMaR:
Does this cover turn the device off when folded completely behind it like most of the Chinese smart covers?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jhuffman69:
I have this case as well and I am completely happy with the quality and build. It performs as described. Smart cover feature works as designed.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] robrob777:
Yes there is a gap, it doesnt sit flat on the screen, the inside segment of the cover doesnt touch the screen maybe beacuse of the material. Anyway on off works perfect. Magnet is very good.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] robrob777:
No , when it is folded behind the device, it doesnt sleep the device. It works as you would spect it to work. I read a lot so i fold the cover behind, never had a problem.

i Am very happy with this cover. I would buy it again

Which keyboard is that with your N7?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kl25:
thats the HP touchpad keyboard.

can get it around 20 - 25 on ebay.

really good keyboard. the feel of the keys are solid and the keyboard itself is made from some sort of aluminium or metal.

downside is i can't find a file that re-maps the keyboard to utilize some of the buttons to work better with android.

Flap doesn't stay closed does it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TealLeader:
Unfortunately no, the flap just rests on the screen via pure gravity. Smart wake does work though.

Hmm. Well, its a nice looking case. I think I'll just get it. I can live with that.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Osiris19:
How does this compare to the poetic slimline portfolio case?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] player911:
The back case looks thinner, like a Feather case and flap attachment looks well made.

I'm surprised someone doesn't make a flap that uses that sticky 3M tape that just attaches to the back with a thin cloth, or sticks to the side.

Looks pretty good, and you get two free microsd readers and an otg candle.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ddlooping:
Got the Nillkin case a few days ago.

Here's my take on it. :)

Pros:

- looks good

- good quality built/materials

- snug fit

- left and right side wrap around the Nexus bevel, offering good protection

Cons:

- no "closing" mechanism, so it can sometimes open up without you wanting it to (thus switching the screen off/on)

- no real protection of the top and bottom edges, either when closed or opened (a real minus for me)

- no magnets at the back keeping the cover in place when fully opened

Not having found the "perfect" case for the Nexus 7 I've decided to make one myself.

I'll start a thread when I receive all the necessary components. :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] smallba:
I ordered one these cases, and i must say the quality is great, i got mine in a grey cloth material (Didn't really like the leather)
