I dont mind posting a screen shot, but how do you do it? is there a program needed for it?
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
You can either use activesync along with My Mobiler or you can find another program called shake and save that will work on the phone itself. There are a few others but those are the first that come to mind.

I want this, but there's another version where the status bar is black with the hero/android-sense style icons, like so:

Could anybody point me to what I'd need to get this accomplished.

Also, from a stock rom standpoint, what would I need to get as close to this as possible without flashing a custom rom.

Lastly, say I want to cook a custom rom based on the stock one. What would I need to get it looking like the screenshot I posted? From what I've read up to this point, the bottom bar with the big buttons is from WinMo 6.5.3, but what about the theme for the bottom-bar, the status bar, and the home-screen having 4x4 icons instead of 3x3.

Sorry for the newbiness, but I really want to learn how to do this myself.

===edit===

Btw, if there's already a rom/theme built that already looks like the screenshot I posted, could somebody point me to it, I can't find it and I really, really like/want it.

How do you take a screen shot? is there a combination of buttons to press,
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
You'll need a 3rd-party solution. MyMobiler is free, and it puts the phone's screen on your PC desktop, and will take screenshots or vid caps for you.

There's a couple that install and run on the phone itself, including shake & save
[HD2 General] secano:
download bsb tweaks or shake and save
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Ok, I've had my HD2 for 5 full days now, and I knew that if I didn't hurry up and customize the look of it and get some screenshots up here soon, Reignzone was going to do something unspeakable to me, like throttle my P2P traffic or something equally horrid :D j/k, in all honestly I really love this thread and others like it, because it's the best place to get not only inspiration but links to cool visual elements that you might have missed otherwise!

The first two shots are the basic visual style I've just thrown together for now...I'll be using CHT and HDWalls soon to make my screens as visually tasty as possible :cool:

The remaining shots are some nice images that I manually rotate on my lockscreen (is there any automatic way...?), just haven't yet gotten around to building a full visual arrangement around each....yet.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Been working on a digital clock bezel and analog clock for Max Manila

Right now the hour,minute,and second hands are borrowed from DX© Clocktopia -Trad till I finish mine up. I have them made I just need to finish them up and I have always like his hands and that clock so it's usually loaded. I guess I hadn't looked to hard to see that the AM/PM was right there. I guess that's a good thing since I didn't like that back ground to much any way so that will be changed.
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:

[HD2 General] Reignzone:
Very nice.

I love those wallpapers.

But as you can see... that's why I designed those custom wallpapers, specifically for our lock screens, so the curtains wouldn't become slightly transparent. Nevertheless, thanks for contributing.

[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I know man, I just kinda like the look when they're semi-transparent :)

I think I found every one of those wallpapers on zedge.net, they have a metric crapload. HERE'S a link to the first page of the ones they have filtered for the HD2

Hi Everyone,

Pictures are not display correctly. They are small, so I guess I'm doing something wrong. I probably have to post the URL, instead of as attachments.

The picture quality is not as clear. I believe the file got compressed. I tried to add the image URL, but a message said that the moderator would need to verified my account first. Does anyone know how I can get verified. I will search around to see what I can do.

My HD2 Lockout and Home screeens

I finally got it working. I spent a lot of time researching on modifying these screens, so I will probably stick to them for a while. Although it should be easier for me next time around. The Blue Mushroom is the Lockout Screen. I camouflage the lock slider.
[HD2 General] yoojin1081:

Would you mind sharing your taskbar or telling where it could be found? Nice setup btw~

Questions about HDWall

I use HDWall to make wallpapers for my phone but the problem is there is a black line right below the slider. And there is a bar were the carrier name is. How do I get rid of those? Also I have backgrounds enabled on all my tabs and when I do landscape on say the music player it messes up the wallpaper, is there a way to stop that?
[HD2 General] rko2185:
Hey I really like that wallpaper. Do you mind sharing it?

Sure np, Here you go. Enjoy.
[HD2 General] yoojin1081:
The icons...thanks for sharing buddy. Appreciate it!
[HD2 General] rolleiflex:
If you ask me, then those icons are mostly from the Uniq set from ohmyicons.com. I made some my own (e.g. the flashlight and the stopwatch, and more).

By the way, would any show me how to change the slider icon, I used HDwalls but it didn't do anything after I installed the cab.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Yes I was talking to you and thanks for the info. The slider can be fun that's for sure. I use the old method of pulling the files I want from the directory then make my new ones ,then with CFC_GUI I replace the image and put the file back.
[HD2 General] rko2185:
Looks good. Thanks again!
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
For today....
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
Those Android icons are really coming along quite nicely.

I would absolutely love to see that project continue... maybe some other variations of those designs.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Those are still the same ones. I haven't done any work on them since I made the last model. I'm not really interested in doing all the tabs let alone an entire theme with them,ughhhhhhh. If somebody wants the model to do the tabs/theme I'm more then happy to give up the file.

[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
What up ima_laady......are you truly a lady,lol. Well As a fellow person from the east coast I'll give you a little hint. There is this button at the top labeled "Search" this will help you a bit in finding things you want. granted being new you have no idea what you want or need.

BSB is a tweak program to help control some key functions of your phone. To get things like the notifications you are looking for different things like Cookies Home Tab or Max Manila.
[HD2 General] spencer911:
Bsb Tweaks are registry tweaks that was compiled so you don't have to do the hard part like editing your registry manually. Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589305

Co0kies Home Tab is another tweak that edits HTC Sense for example adding more quicklinks to the Home Tab (not same as BsB Tweaks). Here is the link:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625483

Well he is running CHT ( Cookies Home Tab) along with some cabs on what seems to be a stock ROM. You can always PM him and ask what he has used to get that look. He might be nice enough to send you links to or the files themselves.
[HD2 General] spencer911:
you can ask tippingvan about what he used. To me it looks like cookie's hometab with some added clock designs, and for the background it looks like he used HDwall to edit his background. I might be wrong but as I said send a PM to tippingvan he can tell you and even give you the background he used. Good Luck ;)

What screen capture app did you use?

Could you post the .cab file of the screen capture app that you used? Or what would you recommend? Thanks.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I use and recommend MyMobiler. It displays your phone's screen on your PC monitor (when connected by activesync), and can take screenshots and vid clips, and fully control you phone as well. The obvious drawback is that you have to be connected to the pc for that...there are other solutions that can take screenshots right on the phone, including Shake to Save (I think that's the name...it's here at xda somehere), but I can't speak for any of them.
[HD2 General] jlczl:
Thanks. I found them too but now I get this odd look on the soft keys:

I haven't been able to find a fix yet.
[HD2 General] secano:
Here you go
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yeah, it looks like maybe that ROM already skinned the softkeys...not sure if there's anyway to remove it when it's cooked in like that, but I'm not the one to ask about that :o
[HD2 General] jlczl:
Well, I tried the Tacchan23_SoftkeybarTransparen.cab but now I lost the cool bars along with the buttons I was trying to get rid of:
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Try this...uninstall both that you've put on there. Then, install the transparent cab, then the new one you want. That may do the job (I've used that "layered" trick before on other hometab items), but that's the only other thing I know of to try.
[HD2 General] jcc266:
Wow such a quick response and thanks for the nice ShakeAndSave app! I am already starting to use it which provides me with new picture opportunities. :)

Stock Tmous ROM (2.13.531.1) with GTX theme. I created the background from a black background with a red and yellow dragon I had. I am changing out my icons for Metro GTX icons and having to make a few of my own. Next is updating the upper icons with GTX themed icons like on the lock screen.

I would love to make the text "Phone" and "Menu" at the bottom dark gray as well if anyone knows how to do that. I have thought about making a dark gray "background" for them using the wallpaper.
