@punkweakling: Agreed. The ability for authors to be able to upload their own works is a top priority. I want to allow every author to be able to maintain their own themes. I don't want this to be a heavily moderated.. "Send me your themes and I will post them". I want it to be driven by the community.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] malaeus:
i agree with that completely. and with that there is even a possibility of an RSS feed for each author. updates for new themes sent straight to our g1. :D:D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kronarq:
One reason I have been leaning towards us continuing to write our own system from scratch is it will make it a lot easier for us to roll out a a ThemesDroid application in the future. We can code everything now to work well with an application later. Namely I was thinking something along the line of just having the site generate a master XML file of all content. The android app could dll and parse the XML file to display the categories etc. Would that be something that you guys would want?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] malaeus:
that would be perfect, and with a master XML list, that also leaves it open to have a flash dynamic website later in the future. (if i can get myself to actually remember AS 3.0, i cant ever keep track of code) im assuming you will be writing this in PHP and XHTML/CSS right? i may have a couple of tools from PHP that may help you, flash galleries and such.

if you need any help with layout/design of the website just PM me or somethin.

--peace
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kronarq:
That is exactly what we are working on, a PHP and XHTML/CSS site.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] afoulke:
I actually am still updating Android Evolve, if you need me to update something or put something on there just send me a PM or email. Let me know what you need on there. check it out!

www.androidevolve.com
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Lieu10ant:
I'm telling you, do NOT name it ThemeDroid, name it something else instead so you can add other files to that website aswell! We need a place to go to, to download files for the G1, why not start a site that has all of the files on it all-in-one? You don't have to limit it to just themes, Different builds can go there, fonts, scripts, etc....
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] theslam08:
Yeah I have to agree. Although I think they already bought the domain and such.

@afoulke, that name works for all file types too. You may want to re-organize the themes directory, maybe instead of folders for each developer on the top, put organize them into sub-folders so you can 'navigate' to where you want to go instead of just having a huge list of folders and may get lost (I did at first). Its very easy with docman. But gj on the site btw :).
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] afoulke:
Its organized by the theme not by developer, per the agreement with each developer each theme has its own folder in alphabetical order and credit is given in main folder. I am not a big fan of doc man, I like the file organizer I use. Thanks for the input though!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kronarq:
We plan on having everything look related on themesdroid. Fonts, Wallpapers, and of course themes. There are going to be categories like:

JF 1.5 Themes

Haykuro 6.0 Themes

Dude 1.1 Themes

aHome Themes

OpenHome Themes

Wall Papers

Icon Packs

Font Packs

Exact order hasn't been decided and neither has the hierarchy as we are working on the low level code right now. Speaking of code we have decided to write our own system from the ground up. This way we do not have to conform our ideas to anyone else's code. This will also make it a lot easier as we decide to branch out with themesdroid. Such as the previous mentioned android app.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] theslam08:
Thumbs up! And good luck :). Hope it comes out well for ya.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] malaeus:
even if its named "ThemeDroid" or something to that effect, it wont limit what we put on it. but the original purpose is to host the themes. the rest of the downloads can come later if need be. so dont forget that. this isnt simply a download repository, this is an art collection inventory.

-- let me know whenever you guys get the framework up, and i can start working on some of the graphics. do we have any concepts on what the site will look like? overall layout etc.?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] wigwag:
So just wondering how is the site coming, do you have an ETA on when you will have it up?

Can't wait for it :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kronarq:
The site is coming along well. Actually got an SVN repository setup for the work as there are a couple of us working on it together. I made a lot of headway on things and then I got sick. Lol. Unfortunately, I can't give an ETA yet. I will try to post updates whenever possible.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] wigwag:
Sweet thanks for the update, sorry to hear you got sick. Regular updates would be sick. No pun intended ;)

ThemeDroid

I think this is a great idea. Maybe different sections for different ROM's.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] angryspoon:
I have also been working on a site after this was proposed and having a spare website that i paid for the year service and ended up not needing. If anyone has any themes they would like posted send them to my email and i will post them up with downloads of the .zip files you send me. Let me know as i will be posting the site as soon as i get 10 or more themes. will be separate sections for different builds and what not.

Email stuff to alitke15@gmail.com as well as if you want me to post a link to your paypal or whatever for donations.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Nitro212:

ThemesDroid Update

After a minor setback. Things are coming along nicely on the site. I have a working layout and login/member system. I was up until 9am the other day working on things, this was my setback. In my sleep deprived state, I took a nuke in to fix a bug which wreacked havoc on a ton of stuff. Today I rolled back about 20 commits and fixed that bug with two lines. Note to all, go to bed when you are tired because staying up just breaks stuff.

As far as people asking about ETA's I would like to have the site out in at least a beta form in a week or so. Keep in mind this is a loose date and things like work and wife can affect it.

People have been offering help in this thread and in IM's. My layout is currently just a rough layout for coding everything. I will post screenshots so people can do moc ups of what they would like as far as looks. In the mean time the logo I have in my sig is what I am working with if you think you can do better post it here. I have one design in my inbox I will post when I am on a computer instead of my phone. Once we get some entries I will use whatever one you guys like the most.

That is it for now guys. I will post more when I can as my lunch break is currently over.

P.S. Thanks for all the support.

Update

The problem with setting arbitrary deadlines is you don't make them...

This project was one of those head first sort of things with no planning[Bad]! Especially when I had some other people join the team working on it. So, I went back to the basics as I should have done to begin with, planning features, needs, wants, layout, etc, etc. Everything is properly white boarded out as it should have been now. I dumped the codebase I was working on as we have decided to move over to the CodeIgniter framework. It is taking some time to get up to speed with CodeIgniter especially considering I am not used to working in a MVC design structure.

As we work on the back end rewrite, the basic layout of the front end is coming along nicely. I have to say that I am happy with how it is turning out, but I would like to get some feedback. After all this gonna be your site.

Here is the live layout http://themesdroid.com/layout.php Nothing is active on that i pulled the layout just so you guys can take a look.

Here's a screenshot of where the basic layout is right now.

So, Please give me any feedback you guys have, good or bad. Also, When I have some more time I will clean up the wiki that has a lot of our ideas on it and post it so you can see where we are going with this. On a final note should I continue to post updates here or would you like me to create a new thread? Seems how I kinda hijacked this one...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] TimSykes:
Did you ever consider if someone puts up a bad update.zip that bricks phones? Unless someone is testing every theme before it goes live, you may run into a lot of issues.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] malaeus:
most themes would have been tested by their creators first obviously. however i do not think it is possible to brick a phone with a theme. as long as you can still get into the boot loaders/recovery console. your phone isnt bricked. but if you arent comfortable with that, i suggest you do not apply themes. however if you still want to apply them, make sure to have a recovery image like JF1.42/JF1.43 with nandroid backup utility. then, every time before applying a theme, make a backup. that way if something doesnt work, you can just FASTBOOT and flash system userdata and boot.

@kronarq: no issues with the takeover :D ill be working on a couple of layouts based off what you have now, just to see what you guys think. please feel free to keep this thread for your purpose, it has stayed on topic for the most part, and any questions have at least been in the realm of this discussion.

if you need another set of eyes on the sites graphics or coding just hit me up with a PM.

--peace
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kronarq:
We do not plan on letting every joe schmoe upload for this exact reason. Established authors will have pretty free reign but new authors will need to have stuff approved just to make sure we dont end up with a malicious jerk pushing a ton off stuff to people. Granted there is always going to be risks as malaeus pointed out. We have disclaimers saying in the end your are responible for what you do to your phone as after all you are downloading the update and running it.

very nice layout
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] G-Fetus6:
make a new thread. Call it the Website name. and ask to get it sticky

i like how its looking so far. maybe a little more black and green in there. like your sig maybe

you know very simple.

and maybe a VERY simple how to for themes. instead of having it on this site

this site is so confusing to find what updates or builds to do if your new to this **** ... like me lol
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ScottGood:
I agree KISS Method is a great method
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
as a themer you should be forced to post screenshots of your working theme... therefore (as long as there is integrity) you will be using the version the screenshots were taken from?

idk just some pre-reqs could prevent or reassure certain things

lovin the layout, hope to join, and contribute
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] malaeus:
so how is everything cooking up? are you ready to give it a nice test? get like 20-50 beta users to register and mess with it?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Mikey:
Just a reminder.

So nobody gets upset, get the okay from the themers first to upload their themes onto another site.

Especially, make sure, they are told, if any charges will be applied without their consent.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] malaeus:
uh, the creators would be the ones uploading it. and if not we will have already received permission to post their work. and i am not aware that there will be any charges on any of the downloads provided on the site, unless otherwise specified by the original creator.

:) but thanks for checking.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] bubblesnout:
Ok, so I haven't read the whole thread, and therefore don't know how much help you have on this so far. But I'm a professional web developer, dealing mainly in ASP.Net with MS SQL Server, but I am more than proficient with PHP and MySQL as well. If you're still looking for a developer to do the site, I could probably organise something over the next few weeks. My design skills are pretty bad, so I'd need somebody to do something up in Photoshop or Illustrator for me to go off, but apart from that I'd be fine. I can do AJAX, including controls to allow developers to sign up, upload their themes with any specific installation instructions and screenshots, and also allow the public to make comments.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ei8htohms:

Feel free to use my DroidLogo font for any of the artwork to keep a consistent look. It works great with Adobe and reasonably well with MS Office and of course works well on the phone.

Looking forward to seeing this site up and running!

@kronarq

hey i have been reading xda for a long time and finally decided to start posting. Any way I started a site a while back for all things android. It started out just for my friends and now i have quite a few people looking at it. That is not the point. I was going to start storing and listing all the themes people wanted to add but if you are going to do that i would much rather link over to your site. I am working on an actual program to flash themes,builds, and fonts. It is made for noobs. I have a beta cmd version (to see if people like it) on my site. I was wondering if there were any way we could team up. I will write the program and if you have the database, we might be able to make something sweet.

This is just an idea. I do not want to step on any toes.

Is it possible to disable the weather info?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Svegetto:
what you can do is set your current time to another city in the same timezone, (or one of the preset "EST US -5 GMT" or w/e your time zone is) and not add that to your weather tab. This should keep it out of your calander tab.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] EXO:
That's a very interesting idea but I was hoping for a registry hack or something along that line. Thanks!

Hi, I got an idea, it could be used for camera 3G(front camera) HTC Touch HD as the sensor distance to act as a sensor that has OmniaHD?:confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shival:
Would be kind of cool but not the front camera. The main camera would be better with its auto focus and whatever else for judging distance. I do not know much about cameras but I think that the focus judges distance to adjust for best picture. I think it would be cool to hold up the device and tap the view screen to estimate the distance. Do not know what I would use it for though lol. It would also be cool if the front camera could perform a retinal scan! Like that will ever happen haha.
[General Questions and Answers] nolove666:
Hello, Everyone

Do you often shopping on line ?

How to check a web ? Is it believable ? is it a scammer ?

Do you have any good idea? :confused:

Here , i just say some of my personal idea.

a. to check the web 's popularity.

You could load down a Google PageRank software for you, it is free. The PageRank could check the web is newly built or old. Also it could tell you the web is popular or not.

b. To check the paying method

Paying way, there are westunion, moneygram, paypal, bank to bank transfer. This are some common ways.

While for 1st time to do business with a new web, it is better to use Paypal. It is a paying way always protect our benifits.

c. To check the shipping way

Do the web have fast and safe shipping way?

UPS, TNT, or EMS ...

Make sure , you could get your items, after payment.

d. To choose good quality

Quality is important.

If the quaity is too bad, why we buy it?

So it is better to have a look of their quality, beforing buying.

eg: i would like to take these 2 webs for example, for i have seen these webs in the forum

Shipping page:

--link removed--

http://www.cheapdunk.com/shipping.asp

have a look of this web, you will know this web is fully arranged. Their shipping way are good.

You could choose a way for you.

While don't forget to ask for order tracking number

Payment page: --link removed--

The Page Rank of the webs are low

So think over before leap.:)

Hi,

my problem already figures completely in the title, I have to install a special certificate (ca.der) to be able to access a Wi-Fi-network, but I don't know how to install it? Simply clicking it, the device (HTC Touch Cruise with c_shekhar lastest 6.1-ROM) says "There is no application associated with "ca". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."

I imagine the solution is very simple, but I really don't get it at the moment...

Thx for help,

greetz,

How do you transfer a movie to the Touch HD and get it to play?

I've got an .avi movie.

1h 32m

647MB

720 x 576

192 kbps

I've tried Syncing it using Windows Media 10.

Only about 5kbs transfers to the phone!?

I've tried copy & pasting via USB but nothing seems to happen.

Looks like it's transfering but taking an age and the progress bar doesn't move!!!

Is the file too big? Does the file have to be converted to another format?

Smaller .avi files play.

Any help here please?!
[Touch HD General] slick69:
What playback software are you using?
[Touch HD General] j1978:
Hi

When you connect your phone you usually have an option to do only a file transfer and not a sync.

I suggest you select that , then copy and paste your movie file to your microSD card.

I suppose its slow because the phone is syncing and transfering the file at the same time.

Hope This Helps

Jay
[Touch HD General] devilmane:
YUP agreed. All you do is select data transfer after connecting your phone via USB to your computer. Then go to my computer go to mobile device go to storage card then either drag and drop or copy and paste.
[Touch HD General] D'rath:
You can use a CardReader: in my opinion it is better solution if you must move big files.

D'rath
[Touch HD General] potmob:
Big Thanks to everyone! It was doing my head in!!!

Waiting for your help, I continued to play around with the Touch HD. :confused:

Seems that when you connect the HTC Touch HD to the PC via USB, there's an option to choose between...

ActiveSync

Disk Drive

Internet Sharing.

When I tried to look at Mobile Device in My Computer (on the PC), I thought I'd somehow wiped the storage card :eek:. Looking again, I'd somehow chosen the Disk Drive option, and then in My Computer, another drive - Removable Disc (L) appeared holding my Touch HD storage card data. :D

I copy & pasted the movie (.avi) files from my PC hd to the (L) drive and the files transfered in the usual way. :)

Thanks again to all who took time out to advise. Hope my little guide can also help folk in a similar position!

Also do a general reading here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal

I would recommend to install a good 6.1 ROM like Tomal 8.81, you can find it on Universal mobile 6 section, your Universal would have much more apps and looking good, also very stable.

wm5 is so old.....

Anyway good luck and don´t forget to vote!!
