Hi everyone :3

How do you like the new WidgetLocker? I love it.

So, now that 2.0 is on the Market modding WidgetLocker this way is pretty much obsolete. The new theming system makes it a hell of a lot easier. As for a new thread to keep mods: Do you guys want me to start a new thread?

I want to thank anyone who has contributed with mods, suggestions and fixes. I apologize for the lack of updates on this thread but I've been busy with ..life. Yes, poor excuse but that's the one I'm going with.

As for themes here are three I made recently:

Simplism

MNML Gradient

MNML Light
[Android Themes] hailtothethief83:
Thanks for these! Yeah I think a new thread would keep things easier to search though!
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
Double that one. New thread would be great.
[Android Themes] Proym:
I've tried to update the "Just Simple" mod but i couldn't test it yet. I've followed the other updated themes to create this one. I hope it works.

Never mind , it's not working :S
[Android Themes] cjcarter1254:
For some reason this one didn't come out right it still had the iPhone slider background
[Android Themes] Proym:
Yeah, i've finally got the 2.0 app and i've finally tested it and the result is the same :S I'm trying to find out what i did wrong
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Yeah, I think a new thread would be good. I've been meaning to ask you ever since you sent me those, does the Simplism mod work for you?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Yeah. Some of the older beta versions didn't support uppercase .FILE Extension.

The preview file was named iphone_preview.PNG so WL didn't recognize it.

Re-download and it should be fine.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Well I had no problems getting it to show up, but when I would apply it, the o would be stretched on one side. Not a big deal, just thought I'd see if I was the only one that happened too. I'll try again.
[Android Themes] vicmora5:
Wow this is great! :D

I got one question though

Obviously some of the sliders are smaller size than the default iphone one, but why do i get that huge grey box still where the iphone slider was when I set up a new custom slider. Like so

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
Go to settings / look & style / background tint - pull down both.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Ha, when I first started using the beta, it took me forever to figure that out. I thought it was a bug or something, didn't even think about it being in the settings until I started digging.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
USE THE ANCHOR! It resizes the slider correctly!
[Android Themes] ridikolous:
How come custom themes dont stick after reboot
[Android Themes] vicmora5:
Wow thanks a lot!!

I feel dumb

But what's this anchor stuff. Where do I go to set up the slider all the way at the bottom
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I just created a new thread.

I want to keep the thread THEMES-ONLY - So please don't post anything but themes.

If you need help the links provided in the new thread should help you out.

Discussion should be kept in this thread!

WidgetLocker THEMES-ONLY thread
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
Please have in mind:

The problem You having, I think is generated by updating. Do a clean install.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
This version supports re-sizing, so you can long press and re-size the slider. Also, just drag it to the bottom via long press.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
@dj_deez

Awesome new theme, man!
[Android Themes] ridikolous:
I figured it out it was a the powermod theme I downloaded from this thread. This is a fresh install. I never modded my widget locker.
[Android Themes] Little Dragon:
good luck on that..lol. if that thread goes 3pgs w/o any interference, i'll buy you a beer
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Hahahaha! :D
[Android Themes] vicmora5:
I cant get the slider all the way on the bottom tho ): No amount of resizing helps
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
Yep, thats unfortunately big problem. Nothing helps. I past that info to one of the beta testers couple weeks ago. Developer is informed, as I've been told. Maybe next update... :(
[Android Themes] OneDeep:
I created a zip and i got the iphone_slider_left image to show up on the phone but I can not get iphone_background_3 to show up with the words 'unlock' its just transparent, do the iphone_background_3.png have to be a certain width?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Really? Mine goes all the way down. A few releases ago though, there would be a small gap at the bottom, but now it's working fine. Even with the market release

Well you have to size it right, yes. But, I had this same problem when I tried making one. The slider would show up, but the background wouldn't. Never figured out why.
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
No s*#% :D mind sharing slider png? I'm stuck with that issue a long time now ;/
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Haha what are you saying "no s*#%" to? That mine goes all the way down? Haha but it's from zHk3R's MNML-Light. But, I can still upload the slider if you need me to.
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
I'm just saying, man... I spend a looong time trying to figured that out, so no s:D:D:D to me on that info ^^

I'll try with mentioned MNML-Light. Thx on the news!
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Haha I feel dumb, you've lost me. I don't know what info I gave other than mine goes down. I thought everyone's did? Haha I don't know:) Yeah, that's the one I use for all of my shots. Since it's just released, there were basically no themes for it, I'm glad some more are being made. No problem!
[Android Themes] SquiZoNes:
Well if u just copied the images from "old" mods provided in this thread, those pngs dont work. The new images for the background need to be 3-patch pngs, but seriously.. dont ask me how to do that cause I have absolutely no clue, I only found that info on the widgetlocker-website :)

Source
[Android Themes] irish22022:
If I ever update this app, it will because there is a sufficient explanation as to how I create a theme. That link provided is a joke. I have to create a 9-patch image (or something like it) that decides where the image is stretchable? What?

That sounds WAY harder then this mod method. I have a number of mods already done. If the dev wants people to jump right into this and keep creating themes, he's going to need to explain (or someone who knows) - how to take a mod that I've already created, and how to port it over.

For example, the honeycomb mod. Has the glowing pad lock on the left, and the destination circle on the right. that's it.

So I'd need to make a transparent image that is 9-patch ready so there's no background, and then the slider on the right needs to be transparent (as I don't want two sliders, I just want the one from left to right). And I need to resize the images I've already created? None of my image sizes are the same as the ones provided in the zip.

I'm not updating until there's better support for this. The new "thread" that was created forbids anyone to post anything but new themes? Is that serious? That makes it even more difficult for people who need help and want to ask questions so they can share their theme ideas with the community.

This all has left a terrible taste in my mouth. I have no interest in upgrading.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Yeah, the old ones are a different size I believe. And there are also more images involved in 2.0 than just the 2 you needed before. Now, there are 4. One is just a preview though.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
It's actually very simple.

When you create a theme make the document 2 pixels higher.

Example: Your slider background is 100 pixels high.

Make the document 102 pixels instead.

Now make your slider background - on top add a simple black pixel.

Zoom in like .. 200-3000 % and make one pixel anywhere on the background.

That will make your slider usable on higher resolution devices like the Galaxy tab.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Don't you just love people who read the OP? Haha:) There goes that beer.
[Android Themes] 00McD00:
Am I missing something with this theme? When I download it, it is not in .zip format and wont apply. I have applied other themes so it is not my app.
[Android Themes] PNLD87:
Haha I was thinking the same thing. Some people just don't get it :confused:
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
http://www.7-zip.org/
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Nope, sure don't! Haha. Plus, they put a smilie like they're doing it simply to spite the OP. If it wasn't working for me, I don't think I'd smile about it. Unless of course, I did it purposely. Might just be me though haha
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
I think zHk3R should put a size 3 :D link to this topic at the top of 'themes only' post :D
[Android Themes] 00McD00:
Mhmm, mhmm, mhmm...and I'm supposed to do that on my phone how again lol.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I'll admit I was pretty much 100 % sure the first post after mine would be a *whatever* post.

But goddamn. I really wanted that beer, haha!
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
Srsl? Unpack the archive with 7zip, and place the folder containing png's like the others. I don't understand what is the problem here.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Haha agreed.

Maybe

they will see it then! Haha
[Android Themes] Proym:
I've finally updated "Just Simple" to 2.0 format. (that mod was the only reason for me to buy this app. I hope the original artist doesn't mind me using his work as source)

Only tested on qvga

Just Simple
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Haha yeah, I'm not too surprised. But, the "=]" threw me off a bit
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Alright.

Check out the second thread now. Let me know if it's visible enough.
[Android Themes] 00McD00:
Like I said...don't have a computer at my disposal at this point. Suppose I will just wait until I am near one.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
I don't mean to sound like an ass, which is exactly what I'm going to sound like, but that made me laugh! Haha

Again, not trying to be rude, just thought it was funny.

I'd say it's pretty visible haha.
[Android Themes] nozerogravity:
Ok, I'm sorry, I didn't get it...

How can I unlock a t-mou HD2 to use with a diferent carrier in a diferent country(outside the U.S.)?

I keep getting the screen asking for a code.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
By getting a SIM unlock code. This has been asked many times, search the forums to find methods to do so.
[HD2 General] Eduardo Pelaez:
Thank you!
[HD2 General] jbwebster706:
have u found an unlock code? hit me back...
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Getting an unlock code is easy enough...just call T-Mobile if you are a TMO US customer and request one, or use an online service to get one.
[Fascinate General] RayKinStL:
OK before you respond with the "YouTube" trick, please read my message. I want to add a second account and keep getting this message. I tried the "youtube" trick and it worked, EXCEPT for the fact that it only grabbed the email and contacts. Using that method did NOT pick up the calendar. So this solution, while industrious, is not a true workaround as it did not grab everything I need. Now when I try to delete and add the account, it works great, but still does not grab the calendar. Any ideas?
[Vibrant General] junglizste:
Is the data actually stored in the battery?

Do the batteries have ID's and the Phone tracks them?

Or is the data in the phone and you have stats that are irrelevant for if using multiple batteries?

I have 2 extra batteries and both me and the GF have Vibrants. So we constantly shuffle around 4 different batteries. Accurate battery readings are hard to come by. They'll display 100% or 0% for hours. Clearing battery stats doesn't seem to help. I know the proper battery meter recalibration procedure, but do I have to do this 4 times?
[Vibrant General] a400meter:
I believe they are stored in a file on your phone. I found that shuffling batteries really hindered my battery life. Now I stick to one and use the backup for emergencies only. Have seen great battery life since.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
so even if you have a new battery but the battery stats in the phone is not good your phone's battery life will still suck?
[Vibrant General] junglizste:
I'm really digging not having to plug in my phone though. Just grab a battery and go. Not sure if inaccurate battery reading or tethered to wall for 3 hours a day is worse.
[Vibrant General] junglizste:
I don't think it's so much of battery sucking as much as it is the phone not knowing how much juice you have left.
[Vibrant General] Goose0121:
Yeah the battery life info is stored in a file on your phone thats accessible through rom manager you can actually refresh it so learn a new battery/rom

****'ll buff out
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Are all your batteries the same capacity? I switch between 3 batts, and they're nearly identical so I don't see these kinds of issues.
[Vibrant General] junglizste:
They're all the same capacity. spares are these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-BATTERY-Dock...Accessories&hash=item5889aee127#ht_3925wt_905
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Are they unbranded G7s? Did you get them from Hong Kong or the US? I've read that some people with Hong Kong G7s through eBay found their batteries to be under capacity.
[Vibrant General] junglizste:
hmmm... I haven't tested them.

They are branded as 1500mAh.

Is there a way to test them?

[Epic 4G General] twoeleven99:
is it due to not a lot of people having the phone ? inexperienced devs? even the roms that exist have one thing or another that doesnt function properly...there only seems to be one solid rom for sure and the rest are just ehh...just trying to figure this out im coming from a device that had so many roms i didnt know what to do and on this side theres really only 3 or 4 choices. is this a froyo deal?lack of people with the units or what?
[Epic 4G General] pyroswithoutfire:
My best guess would be most devs are waiting for froyo to drop since it should be soon.
[Epic 4G General] twoeleven99:
i was hoping this was the case
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Its tuff to dev something knowing froyo us coming. I started my theme to be used on my rom but decided not to cook a rom. It well be easy to port my theme for use with froyo. A 2.1 rom ported to 2.2 us hard. It would be easier to start from scratch with a froyo build

Sent from my Emotionless Beast of an Epic using the XDA App
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
Its the same thing that happened with the moment, almost no dev support. 1 because its a Samsung, 2 because it was the second 4g phone, 3 because its $50 more.

The Evo community is thriving though.

Look at the Moment forum on sdx-developers, then look at the Hero forum here on XDA. Same thing for the Epic vs Evo.
[Epic 4G General] twoeleven99:
i was just asking a question...thanks for the answers fellas
[Epic 4G General] asapelectric:
I really hope people will develop for Epic, I really enjoyed the ROMs on Evo. But I liked this one better, hope I didn't make a big mistake! Oh well, I haven't even rooted this one yet, maybe Ill just give it a rest for a while. I know my wife will like that. :-) Don't mean to insult the devs, you're all we got, just wish more people had this phone.
[Epic 4G General] imwillzillla:
I concur, in a perfect world this phone (which I am getting tomorrow) would be so great that I wouldn't flash rom after rom for little things such as percentage battery mod or something. I would flash roms because it looked slightly different than the previous. and always felt like something was missing. I hope i can just be satisfied with the roms and such that are available for the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Don't worry u will have plenty of devving for epic. It will not be as much as evo though as evo has much more devs and is more popular and has been out longer. But we will have quality not quantity and after froyo we will see more devving. Most devs don't wanna waste time if the update is coming in less than a month (hopefully).

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lgstoian:
Hello folks.

I'll be posting an esy to use package for everyone who wants to try the lastest android builds for the xperia x1.

I'll also keep it updated to the latest releases.

Just unzip the archive to your sd-card root.

No need to enable wifi or bluetooth in win mo for any of the versions.

Have your phones plugged in during first boot !!!

Grab the 25.11 edition here , xdandroid.2 from here and sp3dev kernel version from here.

Sp3dev's kernel seems to be better.

Working: -wifi

-bluetooth

-gps

-marketplace

-3d acceleration - neocore 15.7 fps

-3g works (orange romania)

-phone doesn't overheat

-phone speacker works

-great battery life for sp3dev

Warning: The boot takes a million years and the system is abit slow in the first minutes.

Changes:

-new kernels from xdandroid

Well it seems the new versions from sp3dev is quite ready for day to day use. :)

Starting now I'll provide Android 2.0.1 versions too. I find them to run smoother and better on the xperia. Also I'm hopping for better battery life.

Same kernels as above, the same things work.

Grab the xdandroid kernel version from here , xdandroid.2 from here and sp3dev version from here.

And starting today im proving a Sense UI rom frm the HTC Hero.

A little warning they are even slower to boot so have patience and also boot logo is upside down.

Grab the xdandroid.2 kernel from here and sp3dev from here.

Note !!!! : Radio version seems to influence android quite abit. 1.14.25.55 seems to work the best. Please report your radio version and how android runs on it.

And on a further note I recomend this for dual booting. For more details go here.

Blimey I should organise my post better.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ilgreco112:
what about battery life?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lgstoian:
Till now 3 hours uptime with mild use (3g on, some wifi and installing some applications and testing them) and battery is down to 98%. May be a bad battery reading or its actually having a good battery life, only time will tell. It running really cold compared to all the other builds i tryed which made my phone burn hot.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neo299:
which kernel did you use?Thanks for one zip package :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lgstoian:
I've been using the latest kernel from here.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Walthor:
Nice release, have it running on my xperia right now.

Saw at the about screen its running froyo 2.2.1 :D although for some reason it won't connect to my wifi at home.

Nice release :D

i do have one question, how is the key mapping for the android? did a quick search but couldn't find an image that used to be here on the forums with the key mapping.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neo299:
data connection not working for me.no 3g either.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lgstoian:
New version is out. Probably better battery life.

3g does work but you need to configure your apn.

Regarding the key mapping I have no idea. I dislike the xperia's keyboard, never used it.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Walthor:
unfortunatly 3g won't be possible since i use my sim in my Galaxy S so i hoped for wifi to be working. About the keymapping. i meant the buttons under the touchscreen, not the touchscreen :).

The release is running smooth on my xperia :)

do i need to run the sp3dev kernel version from the root or can i put it on the same SD card in a directory?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neo299:
where can we download the new version
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lgstoian:
neo 299 see the first post.It's called sp3dev.

As for button mapping:

-power button is used for sleep and power

-call buttons are for call

-ok button is for back

-xpanel button is for home

-and left action button is for menu

No you can only have one release on a sd card. And I do recommend the new one more.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Walthor:
and by new one you mean the sp3dev. okay, will put that one on the sd then

And thank you for the button mapping :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neo299:
Do you know how can i disable 3g so that i can use data connection.Otherwise data wont work for me on 3g.Thanks for sp3dev version upload.Much obliged :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lgstoian:
Settings > Wireless > Mobile networks > use only 2g networks
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sufehmi:

However, Megauploads gave error message :

Any chance you could upload it somewhere else as well ?

Thanks! HS
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Vicentini:
The sp3dev kernel version works fine, my X1 gets al bit warm but works. Tweetdeck works realy well, Foursquare will be tested tomorrow.

The only two problems I have till now are within the phone function. Kinda important... ;)

1) I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me when calling.

2) And I don't have a clue how to add a ringtone.

Can someone help?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Chiuuu:
very good version of xdandroid.

fast and stable....

battery comsumption seems ideal??

but the main issue is no sound at all for me..:(

including ring tone, voice call...etc...:(

please help to fix~~otherwise, it is a really great build;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lgstoian:
Try using the other build. I think that one had working sound but battery wouldn't last so long.

And as for ringtones google a tutorial :)).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuber:
I'm also having trouble with the sound.... no sound on calls, media, etc.... But when i test the ringtone there is sound...

Any ideas? Great build btw.....keep up the good work...
