No This Is Going To Be A Hard Interesting Process, because not only is this a mockup but we have to convert evrything to .pngs and .9s and man other files and have to find ways to building it, once i finish my 1.8 version of my theme. Im going full time on this theme.

So youll be happy to hear that, im always on top of things so ill finish this pretty quick and im hoping i finish my 1.8 by tomorrow evening so i can start this before thanksgiving.

SO I NEED EVRYBODY TO SEND ME THEIR FILES AND EVERYTHING TONIGHT!

Please

So I can start organizing

Thanks,

Lucky
[Android Themes] jcarrz1:
also guys, just discussing some of the elements here: the music widget should be easily accomplished by simply deleting the background of the current one, and changing the buttons a little. i don't think the volume would be very easy... and besides, the g1 has hardware buttons already.

for the clock, same thing, mebbe even modify or use a widget that is on the market. i've come across one in the past that provides the time in digital form on the homescreen.

dialer: no problem, very simple but elegant edit (as far as i can tell)

icons: looks like zenstrom has already made some awesome edits to these.

drawables (notifications, etc): i've seen most of the elements here incorporated before (different png's for the pulldown, bar, etc.), but one thing i have never seen is a semi-transparent entry in the list, as in the concept above. I think it would be more feasible to use a white one, but if its possible, all the better!
[Android Themes] jcarrz1:
lucky! i would love to see someone get started so soon! great to have eager devs around.

I'd love to have the time to do this for others.

Thanks a bunch. I'll consider donating... :)
[Android Themes] G1_Lucky:

Awsome guy man u know who u are. Man

But I hope u release it soon thanks a million in advance
[Android Themes] jdwme:
Looks good, but...

Some of this stuff won't work unless you build a few things from the source. The dialer for one, you would most likely have to edit the apk to actually use an image as a background, and maybe pull a few of the things from the dialer app itself and not framework, like the tabs at the top. Looks good, but to be done like this, it's gonna take some work. Hope you can get it looking like the concept art. :D
[Android Themes] bahnburner:
I don't see why we can't make both, especially since Stericson's already beta testing the GUI version of metamorph. I feel it's going to be the future of theming.

@G1_Lucky

You've already got my files. if you actually plan on using them. There wasn't really much in the way of layers, so I didn't bother saving a psd.
[Android Themes] punkmanj:
Here is the wallpaper
[Android Themes] sacredsoul:
you should name it... Twilight :D
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Wow fantastic,

i went away for a night, and came back to find loads of work has been done, ill send my photoshop file to G1_Lucky as soon as i get home,

i do have a couple of comments to make on zenstrom's updates to my concept,

I think the top bar thing (with 3g icons on etc) looks a little too busy, personaly id quite like to keep it minimal, with just the plain bacl, also i knwo it might not be possible, but id like the try and get the rounded edges on the home screen, im gojng to talk to the guy who's making advanced launcher. sorry to say what i want to change first, but apart form that it think it really really cool.

Also personally i prefer the stock 2.0 icons to the black and white ones, probably just a personal preference.

@ punkmanj cheers for getting the wallpaper mate, i couldnt remember where i got it from.

Great to see this moving forward so quick.

Edit: Looks like G1_Lucky and Volcom Designs have gone off in a bit off a different direction with Experion, Which i think is great, however i would like to stay on track with my original concept, and then we can have two brances from a single concept. i will endevour to help them with experion, but intend to continue with the development of this theme.

However I will need Some help, so if there are any theme devs out there with some time to spair then id love to begin work on the original concept.

By the way the votes are currently tied between darkstar and eclipse, i love both names, so keep on voting!
[Android Themes] zenstrom:
Hmm... I didn't realize Lucky was going to branch my mockups off into a separate theme; regardless, I still love the original concepts and hope we can make two awesome themes. Perhaps we should start a developers/designers chat on IRC or something to make this a bit more organized?
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I'm also very interested in working on this theme. Is there any way I can get a hold of the photoshop files? I've gone and tried to recreate the notification bar, but There is a problem with the rounded edges coming below the actual bar itself. It seems there is an xml somewhere that automatically puts a dark bar underneath the notification bar which makes any extra get cut off. You can see the extra when you are holding the tab on the notification shade, but once you let it go the extra is covered again. I'll try to look into a fix, but if there's someone who knows a little more about xml's and stuff it would be great if they took a look.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Hi Guys, im going to be making an FTP repository on my server asap,

@freekyfrogy: Yeah i cant quite workout how to do it, i was tghinking some sort of overlay on the hame app, i have pmed the guy who makes advanced launcher hoping that he can help. Thanks for your time and work.

Cheers everyone

[Android Themes] harpreet1988:
The notification bar on the palm pre theme had the rounded corners.
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I think I may have just found a way to get the rounded corners below the notification bar. I found the image that was giving me a problem earlier, the shadow that appears below the notification bar. I'm thinking if I edit that shadow image to instead be rounded black edges, it might just work. The only problem is that it's a .9.png, which I am currently not equipped to edit. I am setting up eclipse to work with them right now, but it may still be a while before I get it done :)

EDIT: yes, this will definitely work. I edited the image just using GIMP, and it's warped but definitely in the right place. Now I just need to get eclipse set up and I'll be well on my way with this!
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
YES! I think I finally have a good looking theme from from this. Note that this is still very much a work in progress, but I managed to get the homescreen to look a lot like it does in your concept. I still need to edit the dialer, notification icons, clean up the application tab, and a lot of other stuff, but for now I have a good base. What do you guys think? I have no idea what to do about the widget you conceptualized, but I'm sure someone else can take care of that.

Here it is with a lighter background so you can better see what I did.

(To show that the curve stays with it through all the screens)
[Android Themes] pdudek:
Very nice theme !

Whith nice widgets this theme is perfect !

Could you send me a beta :) ? I dont make a theme i Just want to use it ;) I like it so much

For the widgets just take a nice widget and restyle it ;)
[Android Themes] david1171:
that looks amazing freekyfroggy. adfskjl; that was my jaw hitting my keyboard;)

also i love how you accomplished the curve under the status bar (i think i might have an idea now for my own use:p thank you)

does the status bar keep the curve in things like the browser or does the activity_title_bar.9.png cancel it out when you open an app and it tells the name of the app under the status bar?
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Haha, you don't want it yet. the dialer is all jacked up because only like half the keys are done. Don't worry though, I'll try to get it out as soon as I can =D

Wow thanks so much :D Here's a screenshot of what the browser looks like:

and here's maps:

It seems like if the application has a title bar, then it appears before the curve. But the cool thing is that the curve still appears within applications!
[Android Themes] david1171:
sweet:) that's really slick.
[Android Themes] jcarrz1:
yeah this is really nice. i'm digging the icons in the notification area. mebbe you could go like zenstrom and mod the icons/incorporate the font/use his status bar (the current black looks a little boring)
[Android Themes] opasha:
i have a question for freekyfrogy. are you intending to keep the notifcation icons with gloss black backround or are you going to make the black transparent so only the white notifications show up to blend into the status bar; or are you going to make the status bar the same gloss color as those notification icons (gps, signal, 3G etc.). it might be better to pick one or the other so the theme flows better. just my two cents. great work so far :D. goodluck!
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Yeah, I plan on making it so only the black shows. I actually used another theme as a base for the sole purpose of having the white clock and text (I can't figure out how to change it myself, lol) Those icons are left over from that theme, but I plan to change them along with everything else :)
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I've been working on this theme all day, hahaha. Here's the dialer, I tried to shrink the green bar, but I couldn't. The image size is tied to an xml, lol. The tabs will be tricky to change, because it's a universal image. So if I change them here then every tab displayed on the system will be different. I'll try to come up with something creative that works, but in the meantime this is what I've got :D
[Android Themes] garz:
the bottom right rounded corners are great. but does the black underneath it have to be so high up before the tab pops up?
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
freekyfrogy you are amazing, can i give you any images or anything, you seem to be doing pretty damn well without me, lol. let me know if theres anything i can do.

Thanks so much for making this theme awsome!

p.s. could i send you the font or something, i really wana be helpful. lol

Im working on a concept for the music app, hopefully you can do as well with that!

Im think im genuinly in love with you. lol

Iv just finished an 8 hr night session at the studio and was feeling pretty crap, however you have really percked me up!

Thanks so much

[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Thanks! I'm so glad to help, I just want to see this realized =) If you could send me the fonts, that would be amazing. I'm not %100 sure how to add them, but there are threads and I can read :) Also, I don't think I got the tab at the bottom to look just right (especially the arrow) if you could send me those images as well I can put them in there too.

@garz The bar needs to be just that thickness in order to hide the bottom of the notification drop down and make everything uniform. You'll see what I mean when I upload the theme (which should be soon ;))
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Ok I'm just about ready to release what I have. There's still work to be done, but it's in a stable enough state to be good as it is now. What should I call it? Should I just use Darkstar as the name? I really like Bamboo, and I think it fits.

Also, a request to anyone with the skills. Can someone make me some custom animations so that when a program is opened it slides down from the top of the screen, and when it's closed it slides back up? I think that would look sweet with this theme :D
[Android Themes] garz:
lets keep it to the votes... darkstar or eclipse?
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Sure mate

Can you pm me you email address, and ill get those files on there way to you as soon as i get up.

Im so excited, i cant sleep, ill get a promo picture ready tomoz, and ill send you the work i have done on the music and clock widgets.

Fonts are fairly easy to change, you just need to add the new fonts into the fonts folder in system, and rename them to droidsans or something. The easyest way to do it is to grab a font update pack from someone, and modify it.

Gotta sleep now, been at work for 12 hrs and its almost 3 am here now. But will do as much as i can to help as soon as i get up.

Cheers buddy

[HD2 General] NetDwarf:
Hi,

As I already mentioned I have a problem with all music players. Ive used Coreplayer on my Touch HD for a long time.

I tried the same thing on HD2, but it doesnt work, when I hit the power button the music stops nearly instant. Same thing with Pocket Player. I tried the option from former times with the blank screen. Doesnt work, the display is locked and on then.

HTC Music player/tab is also weird, cause it random stops and sometimes mess the whole HTC Sense so that it takes 30 seconds to load after stand-by. I deleted all tags from tracks but the problem persists. BUT it works in standby o.O.

Have anyone an idea, what I can do, to simply use my HTC HD2 as a music player. I prefer to use Coreplayer in background cause its the most reliable player for music (the issues as a video player are well known on Qualcomm processors).

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] NetDwarf:
It seems that it is possible to blank the screen in Coreplayer but the volume rocker arent working and the button line activates the screen. Is it really not possible to use a music player like on Touch HD?
[HD2 General] chronicle:
Core player Audio turns off evertime the screen does.

Same problem here - This is a nightmare!

I use Coreplayer to listen to streaming live radio stations but this is just stupid...every time the screen times out on the HD2 (ie goes dark, as i've set it to in the HTC settings) - CorePlayer (and any other streaming program) just stops playing.

I have to unlock the screen and press 'play' again and wait for it to reconnect again...every 5 minutes :confused:

I tried the Menu-Options-Blank Screen, but this just caused the same problem - it dropped connection immediately and I have to go through the whole procedure again.

Anyone come across a solution? I can't believe that you have to have the screen back light on all the time and you have to tap the screen every 2 mins to keep it awake - just to listen to the radio!!
[HD2 General] razorblader:
Can confirm the problem with Coreplayer, not really a solution but you might wanna try Kinoma player, nice user interface and works in standby as well.
[HD2 General] arturobandini:
I have both CorePlayer 1.36 and Kinoma Play.

Kinoma Play is now far better. It's fast and the interface is smooth and clever.

It's sad to say but CorePlayer is now old-fashioned and unusable on the HD2.

Do not hesitate :)
[HD2 General] chronicle:
Oh, joy...it's not a cheap day for HD2 apps! I'll give it a go. Cheers.
[HD2 General] uccoffee:
try press start and key lock and wait for screen auto turn off, that works.
[HD2 General] cobhc:
Okay, I'm seriously looking into getting a HD2 next month, however some of the negatives about this device concern me.

For one the speed doesn't always seem to be up to scratch compared to other Snapdragon devices (though it sports the same processor). Is it really that much of an issue? Is the HD2 still fast enough for most/all tasks? Also I've seen keyboard lag mentioned a fair bit too, a small issue, or not?

The next issue would be the pink hue I've seen on just about every sample image from the HD2, I know this is an ongoing thing and no one seems to have narrowed it down to either a software or hardware fault. Is it really that bad? Also I've seen very little shots from the HD2 that look even decent quality.

Thirdly is Windows Mobile, now I am aware of a lot of people that prefer Windows Mobile to Android, but again is it really that much of a deal breaker? I see a lot of people saying the HD2 hardware with an Android would be a match made in heaven, and that concerns me as I do not want to be left disappointed.

Basically I would like some views from both sides and someone to confirm whether this truly is the best phone I could buy, or whether I should look elsewhere, taking the above issues into account.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] mec1234:
Hey,

I hope to get my HD2 next week but I have had some play time with a Demo unit and it was super fast and very smooth, think Iphone but much better. To quote comic book guy “Best phone ever” well in my opinion anyway.

I would always pick WM over Android, you can do so much more with WM.

There does seem to be a small but vocal group who are hell bent on making the HD2 out to be a bad phone or in some way crippled by HTC.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583618
[HD2 General] Cheesy Dave:
Hmm, have one now for over a week:

1. Speed - really fast and better than iphone, especially when you take into account the multiple applications at once.

2. Keyboard lag - super fast, could actually do with a slow down !

3. Pink hue - no idea about that, my screen is really excellent

4. WM vs Android - no comment, WM has been around for longer
[HD2 General] cobhc:
Obviously I wasn't clear with the pink hue, I was meaning a pink hue in photo's taken with the HD2's Camera.

But thanks for the reassurance guys, keep 'em coming.
[HD2 General] Cheesy Dave:
Oh, I see what "pink hue" is from your view now.

Well, HTC have never really been able to make super a quality camera function. But, the HD2 camera is OK and quick. I have not noticed a pink hue but I also would not claim to be an image expert. Nice thing on the HD2 (compared to the HD) is finally a LED flash.

But, I doubt anyone buys this as a top quality camera and, of course, no one buys an iphone as a camera either !

I'll have a play with some flash images - it would not surprise me if the LED is screwing up the colour balance.
[HD2 General] cobhc:
Thanks for that Dave. I'm still very much undecided, to be honest I was 100% for getting the HD2 till I read some of the problems on the forum here. Now I'm not so sure.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
The problem with reading problems on a forum is that for the most part, that's what most people come on a forum to do. Nowhere for even the most amazing device will you find more "wow" posts than "omg it sucks" posts. The majority are from people who didn't research their purchase properly. Even for what is supposed to be a developer-centric site, there is an enormous number of ignorant and unintelligent people.

It's a fantastic device, and the performance is so far ahead of my previous WM devices it's not funny. The pink middle on photos is a problem that seems to be affecting a few units (not mine), but it'll either be fixed by a ROM update or else according to HTC you can return for a replacement.

WM vs. Android is a completely personal choice. You might as well ask us what colour shoes you should wear. What do YOU prefer?
