Expanded Android Phone 7 Layout

Okay, I think I have finally reached the end of tweaking my "Android7 Theme":

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Device: Unrooted HTC Droid Incredible.

Launcher: LauncherPro (Plus).

Image widgets: Desktop Visualizer.

Lockscreen: WidgetLocker.

Lockscreen clock: Beautiful Widgets.

The first image in the second row is my main homescreen. The blue widgets are a combination of free widgets I downloaded and reskinned using APK Manager. They

aren't exactly the "Living Tiles" of the Windows Phone 7- but they all work- including the notification badges on the Phone, Message, and Gmail widgets.

Details on this theme are in this thread on Android Forums: Android Phone 7 Theme

Hey Slayher,

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fitness12:
Thanks man, appreciate it, now just have to see if a pro could do it for the z Rom :-)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] slayher:
That online kitchen makes it so you can upload your own framework-res.apk and it will edit it for you, putting the images in and giving you an update.zip back.

I am not sure how well it works, but you can do all kinds of customizations. I just used the kitchen to get hdpi icons, since it will build all 100 for the incredible :)

PS - Anyone know how to get ride of the sync from the notification bar? It's from my google account and it's trying to 'Sync Picasa Web Albums'. I do not have any Picasa web albums. I'm not sure what I have done to sync/install this item. It only used to sync contacts, gmail and calendar before. Any help will be most appreciated. Thank you.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] monkeybones:
Have you tried settings>accounts & sync, see if picasa is listed? If so, tap it then tap remove account. You can also uncheck auto sync in the same location and manually sync your accounts.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fp99:
Yea picasa is listed there. I already manual sync my accounts but every time I turn on the wifi or 3g it starts to sync. I will try to remove it and re-add the google account.

EDIT: I cannot remove the account without a factory reset since it is my main google account. It's fine, I was going to do a clean installation of another rom anyway. Thanks.

it is mClock (Market-free!) with an xml mod. Here is a link to the thread and the code.....I am not a coder, I just modified another and used it. You create a widget for the hours and one for the minutes then you have to overlap the widgets to get it to look like mine....just took a little patience. You also have to change the number of column and rows with launcher pro or ADW. I can send the files if you like...just pm me with an email address.

jbdan, love your setup.. like always! :)

Question, I've searched time and time again and it's why I don't run AOSP cause I've never found an answer.

When you hit the power button to lock your screen, do you get color distortion when it powers down? It never shuts the screen off smooth like sense does, and I understand it's diff framework, etc. But the only remedy I found to get it to shut off quickly without flicker is to have the brightness all the way down. Just curious if this just could be my phone or if it's a rom issue that people just "put up with"
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] titans808:
Does anyone know where this lock screen is from? thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jbdan:
Thanks ;)

I've seen this...on both aosp and sense ROM's and I've always believed it had to do with 3 possible things: AMOLED tech in my screen, kernel, and the ROM itself. I've also had both aosp and Sense ROM's not do this and shut off both instantly and smoothly.

It's one of those small things that some probably don't even notice, but the more picky (like me) it stands out like a sore thumb.

Which aosp ROM's have you tried that did this? CM6 and RUBY did it to me. UD, MIUI and the Ginger ROMS have not done it. The newer Gingerbread ROM's have a screen-off animation that negates this flicker in my experience.
