Hello , I'm asking again - what's up with ringtones - seems that GDE "uses" only default system ringtone on G1 which in my case is silence.mp3 :-) , some of my contacts use personalised ringtones which are ignored under GDE ? (tested 0.1.7.2 and 0.1.7.3 ) . But I found that lag which appears on entering standard Contacts was much smaller when I used to use aContacts ...

Whithout proper ringtones GDE is useless ....
[G1 Apps and Games] billquinn1:
Did you move the ringtones you use to system/media/audio/ringtones?
[G1 Apps and Games] sebx_g1:
On SD card ? No in fact I have ringtones in different location . Do I need restart phone after moving ringtones to different location ? Thanks for advice .

Ringtones moved accoring advice - but still no luck ... and problem is in GDE it plays only default ringtone not personalized for each contact . But sms notifications works good .

If author needs more details I will help asap ;-)
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
The weird thing is that a home replacement does really do nothing with ringtones or dialer etc.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
just published 2 themes- google chrome and a Blur theme.

i would give a cyrket link but for some reason it is stuffed....
[G1 Apps and Games] sebx_g1:
Hmm ... I agree but I have that issue , my G1 is not rooted with original system 1.6 (instaled via OTA operator's update). I use Ringextented utility maybe it is some incompatibility ? But I also observed that GDE ignores changed system settings like different Contact application or settings from Power Manager Pro - it looks like only default values of some system settings are considered . GDE is really greate piece of software but I wonder why it behave so strange on my phone ?
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
The powercontrol widget is not part of GDE. It is the stock widget, or if you have a theme it is from the theme. What you see in the screenshot is the one that is installed with the Enoch theme for cyanogen roms.
[G1 Apps and Games] rutger1413:
Ok so i made a small dumb video of what is going on. In the video i have 3 screens wiht #2 being home screen.

If you have any other questions feel free to pm me

I just re-did all the icons and the updated themes are posted to the market. What do you think of the new icons?
[G1 Apps and Games] SizeOfAPlanet:
good work, i've had it running since the phone told me about the update :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Sorry to go off-topic for this thread again, I've published an updated version of the Eclair theme on the Market :)! Just search for GDE. Made some changes to the menubar, and also added menubar for landscape mode. This will be the last update for a while, there's just a few images left. Exams coming up, bleh :(. Thanks for all the help and advice :)!
[G1 Apps and Games] SizeOfAPlanet:
if its not too much trouble, could you do a version with non-transparent drawer backgrounds? :o
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Rogro, I am still not seeing my menu_group.png being used by GDE. It is always the original one.
[G1 Apps and Games] SirFenwick:
Love this!

Just one question. Could the Application Dock widget be made to sort alphabetically? That would be great if it could. But other then that this is a great product.

Makes my phone look a ton better.
[G1 Apps and Games] M..N:
Is it possible to change the application icons when making a theme
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Application icons are in each program. So no it is not possible. You can change them with Bettercut, a paid market program.
[G1 Apps and Games] M..N:
Ok I see but I'm just wonderong how openhome does it?
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Can't help you, I have never tried openhome.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
Dxtop is able to do it too. The icons are placed inside the dxtop app/theme. Not sure how he does it but it shows it is possible. Maybe put it in the list of things to do?
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
What icons can they replace? I assume only the apps that came installed on an official rom correct?
[G1 Apps and Games] ekeefe41:
I was showing this to a friend and he said...

"Man, it would be cool if you could put a different pic on each side of the box."

That would be cool :)
[G1 Apps and Games] PaulGiz:
Update Enoch is beautiful. Thanks so much for the extra effort--it was nice before, better now.

O.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
Yes in the theme only those in there. Normally just Google apps. But to change any icon on desktop you just long click on it and then just select an icon or picture u want to use. Dxtop is awesome for customisation. I recommend rogro checks it our for ideas for thus app
[G1 Apps and Games] eminembdg:
Yes, custom icons would be great. I'm sure if you looked into Open Home or even asked the Dev he'd be more than happy to help you out. He's an awesome dev , very nice guy
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Ok, I've just uploaded a version with opaque backgrounds :).
[G1 Apps and Games] d750:
May i ask if someone will compile template with name chimera for me. I'm working on my version but i don't know anything abou programing. I only know how to resign app.
[G1 Apps and Games] SizeOfAPlanet:
thanks a lot
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
i can compile it for you if you post the drawables that you edited :)
[G1 Apps and Games] d750:
Here it is:

http://www.4shared.com/file/148396411/b3c112c6/drawable.html
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
ok thanks. i will start compiling it soon. do you mind if i use some of the icons in my theme?
[G1 Apps and Games] d750:
No problem icons is totally free.
[G1 Apps and Games] TheReaperUK:
Hero In White?

I remember having a Hero theme in white which looked good on vodafone magic as the phone is white.

Could one of you execellent themers make a white Hero theme please, if it's not to much trouble of couse.

All so possible to get the gChrome theme for openhome to work on GDE, as that one looks good on voda magic too.

Thanks for listening.
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
I don't have any hero images to work with, especially in white. If you have the images or the theme could you email it to me? bkmo98 at gmail dot com.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
haha funny you should mention rwhite hero seeing as i have just done one and it looks rather good i must say :p. going to send it to Diceman and when he has some free time he will publish it on the market :)

edit i might have to hold off the white hero until rogro gives us a way to change colour of text as some text isnt visible especially in the applications menu, which i think will bother some people. i attached a screenshot for some suggestions
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
New theme by me, Obsidian.. some of you might have seen shots in this thread or the desktop thread before the theme support was sorted, but here it is in full (apk inside a zip, just unzip and install by adb.. DON'T TRY TO FLASH IT FROM RECOVERY!!):

http://degenerates.110mb.com/GDE-goldenarmZ-obsidian.zip

edit: Now published on the market thanks to Wysie!.

I will be expanding this into a full theme for Cyan, but for the moment the other theme elements here only exist on my phone, so don't ask for them. :p

I work at my own pace, which is slow, but I'll post here when it's all done and matching.

The black wallpaper everyone keeps asking for is a slight edit of "Tachisme" by cycloidbeta on deviantart.. I take no credit for this truly awesome piece:

My cropped version is here:

RE: White Hero Theme

djosiah i love that white hero theme, and don't care about the icon text colour, could you release an .apk file of the theme here, and then once the icon text colour is sorted release a market version.

That is some great work you've done there, and i thank you for your skill.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
yeah thats fine mate. here you go. glad you like it ;)

anyone know where rogro has gone? is he just taking a break from scene?
[G1 Apps and Games] TheReaperUK:
RE: White Hero Theme

Thank you very much djosiah, have installed theme to phone and am loving it, would like to have had white folder icons, i'm not a lover of black folders, but still the best theme for gde for me.

Thank you.

P.S. Does someone know a good white skin or clear skin for weather widget donate.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
is the one in my screenshot on the previous page ok for you? if so i will post it. its not mine its one of manups.
[G1 Apps and Games] TheReaperUK:
Looks prefect to go with hero theme.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
you need to put the .zip file on your sdcard. there should be a folder called 'prettyweather....' cant remeber the full name. inside that there should be a folder called clock (if not create one). you put the clock skin in the clock folder and then it should appear in the file explorer and you can selec it.

so you put the skin in sdcard/prettywearther.../clock/

hope this helps and here is the skin
[G1 Apps and Games] SirFenwick:
Can't go wrong with this!
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
thats a nice theme cant wait til you do the full version for CM, by the way what font is that?
[G1 Apps and Games] TheReaperUK:
Thank you again for all your help and themes/skins.
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
Thanks! The font is 'Zekton RG' by (the legendary) Ray Larabie.. I can't distribute it directly because it's not freeware, but a google search might get you somewhere.. :cool:

Xrom inspired theme

I am going to post my Xrom inspired theme here until it gets posted to the market. It is very transparent, very minimal, very greyscale. I know I keep re-cycling the icons in my themes, but they seem to work. :) Enoch will be updated soon. I am fixing the up/down arrows to be sized more like the original enoch theme. (smaller)

Edit: Re-did the menubar to make it more visible, and more unique. Wall is included in zip.
[G1 Apps and Games] NisseGurra:
Thanks again for this very nice app. Is there a way to shorten the transitions time in the screen animations?. I like the "stretch" but it a bit on the slow side.
[G1 Apps and Games] sebx_g1:
Ringtones are still broken up I wonder if HOME replacement is not important ?

Maybe HOME applet is more significant than we think , why it is called Network on G1 ( in polish Sieć - original name of HOME means in english Network) . I'm a newbe but I think that something important is messed up after changing default HOME to GDE ... anyone with similar problem ?
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
I know the code from the original home/launcher inside out... there is no reference to ringtones whatsoever, just like GDE should have no influence on how ringtones are managed.

I really cant explain why you are suffering from any ringtone problems running GDE. If there was anything I would sure be the first to try it.
[G1 Apps and Games] sebx_g1:
Thnx , I also noticed at 0.1.7.2 not saved screen transition settings but now it is fixed in 0.1.7.3 so I'm waiting :-)

And one question could you relase as standalone widget this great application dock widget from GDE ? . Because it works very well it could be sold at good price I think :-)
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Rogro.....care to explain when menubar_star.png is shown? It doesn't seem to do anything for me. Could be me though. :)

It would be nice if there was an icon for list view, and grid view, but I don't seem to see how to do it with what is available in the template you provided.
[G1 Apps and Games] rutger1413:
Just curios if you are working on a solution to the issues on Android 2.0.
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
In case anyone is curious the themes that I have been posting for BKMO and DJosiah have been very popular. I didn't realize that there were already that many GDE users out there. So far the first 5 themes have a total download count of 3,000 users with a 50% average active install rate.

They have been on the market since friday/saturday

Thanks to all people who have been supplying these themes for early adopters!
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
To add on to bkmo, I'm unsure what's the purpose of the following files:

File:folder_add.png

File:menu_group.png

File:menu_row.png

File:menubar_star.png

File:menubar_switch.png

File:placeholder_google.png

In addition, I said earlier that the folder icon when we long-press to add a folder, as well as the folder icon in the menu seems to both point at folder_live.png. Shouldn't they be different? Moreover, shouldn't the folder icon in the menu be the same as the one in the desktop? Or maybe, a different one altogether, but not folder_live.png? Thanks rogro :)!

With that said, can we have 2 threads, one for GDE itself and another for theme/theme-related questions? Lastly, I modified the drawer/toolbar a little, and am deciding which one to go for (maybe both), and would like to hear your opinions whether you prefer 1 (current) or 2 (new). Please PM me your opinion, thanks!

I've also attached the apk with the new drawer since it's not published on the Market yet :). The current ones are updated slightly, so please get them from the Market :).
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
i believe menu row is for is the background for the drop own options in control panel and menu group is the background for the text above the drop down, but i am having trouble editing them, because we cant change the colour of the text just yet and sometimes it isnt isible. menu star is what menu switch used to be called and i think it was just left over from the original release. folder add is for the applications menu where it allows you to create a new folder. im not sure about the placeholder, but i always thought it was for google search bar as it says google in that. hope this helps :)

@rogro is there any ETA on when we can start editing the colour of the fonts. i am just itching to get my white hero on the market but some text isnt visible as it is white on white.

@Diceman thats great news glad to know people are liking our themes. thanks again for publishing them on the market for me. i have got a white hero coming your way very soon ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] 2leaponover1:
Anybody out there willing to turn an ahome theme into a theme for this? Let me know if you would like the challenge :-)

It's my own personal theme that i bought from someone and it's my property so it won't break any freeware rules. It's not available on the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
@Wysie:

I will add descriptions in the new theme template.

Menu_star is indeed depricated. It used to be in place of the switch view ( to make it the default menu, but this changed into a menu setting. ).

Will remove it.

@Djosiah

I am working hard to get all the colors in the theme template. I hope to get it finished in a few days including adding wallpapers to themes.

Also trying to get the speed up. The list/grid scroll in the menu is now as fast as it should be, but im still improving the transitions. So im not sleeping, but working hard to get everything worked out so I spend a little bit less time reading/posting.
[G1 Apps and Games] mat_pav:
Support for HTC widgets would be nice.
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
Nice, but not possible. The required HTC framework is too embedded in the sense builds and none of it is open source. Clones of most of the HTC widgets can be found on the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
Excellent news. :cool: All your work is very much appreciated, especially in making life easier for us themers. Vanilla android is not very nice to us.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
djosiah: Thank you! I still don't get where you mean by menu_group and menu_row though :P. I've added some more images to my theme thanks to you!

rogro82: Good to hear that! If the app scrolling is up to speed it'd be really awesome!
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
lol ok i will try explain again. go into the gde control panel, then go into desktop settings. 'where it says Desktop scroll settings' that it menu_group and the and the options below it is menu_row. hope that helps even more.

also how do i update my theme for the market when i try to install over a current theme in eclipse it says i cant due to different signatures?
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
djosiah: Thanks dude :). Ok, if you try to install from Eclipse directly by using "Run", it's signed using debug keys, thus it won't install over the one on your phone if you've installed it from the Market.

The one published to the Market, which is also the one you export to apk, is signed using your own key... So you've to uninstall before reinstalling when updating from a Market build to a Eclipse "run" build or vice versa.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
no problem. not sure i fully understand you. i sort of of do. but how will people who have downloaded my theme update to the newest version if it wont let them. i have changed the version number in the appropriate files. then i signed the apk again using the key i did with the first one. i then put it on my phone to update using astro but it wouldnt let me.it just gave me the option to unintstall or launch.

so basically i want to change the some of pngs. after i have changed them and imported GDETheme into eclipse. what do i do after that so it can be used as an update instead of a fresh install.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
djosiah: Ah I see. You should change the version code too. The version number is what people will see, but to overwrite/upgrade, you've to change the version code. It has to be an integer though, so for me it's like:

Version Code: 9

Version Number: 1.6

Hope it helps! On another note, the new drawer version of my EclairTheme is out. I made it another theme altogether as I had varying opinions on it. I've some screenshots against different wallpapers. Search for EclairTheme and you should see all the variations.

The idea for the shading came after I saw goldenarmZ launcher :D.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
thank you so much mate managed to do it :D also great launcher i was thinking you should do something like that after seeing your first version. looks alot better now ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Actually MontAlbert taught me the version code thingie, which was mentioned by rogro82 earlier as well! ;) Thanks djosiah :D. Can't wait for rogro to update! Faster GDE with more theming options sounds good!

[G1 Apps and Games] LordAsteroth:
Ran into a bit of a problem

I got GDE today, and played around with it a bit on my Droid. I ran into the display bug where icons remain showing when flipping screens, but the problem I have now is different.

Since I hadn't had a chance to get the GDE pages set up yet, I was still using the default home, and because I was getting tired of having to select which one I wanted each time, I turned on the default check. Now I can't seem to find anything in the home settings to reset the default. The default Home doesn't appear in the app manager. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it refused the new download, saying I hadn't payed for it, so I did the refund and repurchase, losing the chance to get a refund again, and still no dice. Is there something I'm missing, or is GDE completely borked for me now?
[G1 Apps and Games] kron2:
so did you go to settings /applications/ manage applications /look for gde go in to it clear defaults now try the home key
[G1 Apps and Games] LordAsteroth:
Yes, but the clear defaults button is grayed out, and it says no defaults set. I expect if I had set GDE to the default it would be different.
[G1 Apps and Games] g1ghost27:
how do i get this app? i cant find it on the android market? hw much is it?
[G1 Apps and Games] LordAsteroth:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-rogro-gde-zwAp.aspx

Use a barcode scanner app to scan the QR code on the right. Or search for GDE in the market.

By the way, I figured out a way to deal with my problem, I just installed Home Switcher, that did the trick.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
one last question. someone left a comment on my hero theme saying that it needs to be updated for the droid. am is it my theme that needs updating or is it gde itself? if i need to update my theme do i just need to install 2.0 into my sdk?
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Coming soon.
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
I was just about to say the same thing.. I'm guessing this might be intentional with the promise of a GDE search.

Might be an idea to add some options for the way the cube handles wallpapers.. At the moment I get a sharp cut after every 2 screens when the wallpaper loops. Perhaps you could add options to stretch or mirror the image across the whole width. Even better... will this support wider wallpapers? Ie: 1600x480 for a 5 screen wide cube? That would be pretty sweet.
[G1 Apps and Games] elfblackdeath:
speed

I'm loving this home replacement.

it would be great if we could control the speed of the cube. As in define the rotation speed manually.
[G1 Apps and Games] roadrunnerx7:
$3.18? less than the others... but for a new release, this better be good lol especailly fast if its fast i dont care how much it costs, i want my speed already. buying now.

EDIT: woooooooooooOOOOWW! i gotta say im impressed! are you sure this is a first release? i was planning on buying and refunding but screw it, you have another customer with me :) great work!

ok wait wait wait. im starting to see why its only version 0.1.

not sure if youre already working on this but here you go:

autorotate/add landscape veiw(uh whichever is the horizontal one lol)

make an option to make one of the buttons an application drawer. i dont like having to click twice to get to my apps. but i do like the folders option, just make some way to get to it quicker.

um themes i think your working on... i'd like to know what is to come to be sure about this some mroe. thanks :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
I don't have the money in my account to buy this :/

haha FML!
[G1 Apps and Games] Apaca1ypse:
request

This is an incredible app! My new home replacement. One thing I would like to see is the hide/stow app ability of advanced launcher.
[G1 Apps and Games] ShelW:
For a first release, this is amazing!

Love how smooth it is! I happen to like the fade transition, simply because of how smooth and quick it works!

Another Home replacement app just added tabs at the bottom of the app drawer, [a-c][d-h][i-m] etc.[0-9]

This REALLY speeds up finding icons for apps not on your home screen!

Not necessary when viewing apps in list view, but it would add functionality when users are viewing apps in the icon view!

Again, great work so far! Congrats!
[G1 Apps and Games] zimphishmonger:
With all the version-hyping thats been goin on in this forum (mainly w/ the dev builds), this is the best .1 beta I have ever seen. Very impressive UI, and great speed. Have used AdvancedLauncher and thought no big deal, but this app is awesome! Only think I would like is app layout similar to the traditional launcher, the list takes to long to scroll through (nm, just figured out how to change it :) )

EDIT: Would love a way to backup all the shortcuts, widgets, ands settings for this app, as traditional backup methods dont work for alternative launchers.
[G1 Apps and Games] Zoide_:
It's so weird, i'm trying to purchase GDE but I get a message saying that my credit card is invalid. The card doesn't expire until 2012 and I recently used it to buy a game on the Market.

I do notice that the price is in Euro. Perhaps there is a limitation for buying these apps with a credit card that has a United States billing address?

If so, is there a way to get the app elsewhere? Perhaps making it availble in SlideME/Mobentoo?

Thanks
