Download/Flash with CWM 3.0.0.5 This is a FULL ROM.

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14513-colorized-cm-7-for-glacier/

screenshots:

​

This is a work in progress. The goal of this project is to move it into a Theme.apk for the new "Theme Chooser"

Credits:

tnpapadakos (buy him a cappucino)

This is his hard work, and it's very good looking, I'm just trying to help minimize the zip size and get it moved to an apk for Tmobiles Theme Chooser
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tnpapadakos:
this is a good start in the right direction, dueces
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Phateless:
Awesome, thanks!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aremcee:
*sigh* - DON'T

Seriously, guys... The themeing engine was added to CM7 precisely to avoid this kind of messing up with the ROM, so *don't* do this. Themes can now be built and distributed as APKs, you can even market the damned things...

This comes from an installable APK, for example:

xttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/10355648/mau5-land.png

Check the vendor/tmobile/themes/Cyanbread and Androidian stuff for examples.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
Awesome I love it thanks
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jentzschman2000:
So this is a .apk or theme? Could you explain a bit more why you say this is a bad idea?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] stlouie65:
I've tried this, wiped caches, still will not give me the settings menu colorized. I'm gonna do a FULL WIPE to see if that resolves the issue, Thanks for the post
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Deuces:
Had some issues, working now on #15. I edited the link in post #1 for the working full colorized build #14
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] lghorn:
I dig this, but am not keen on flashing something on top of nightlies that could jack with the ROM that's already a WIP.

Once you convert to a theme I'll definitely give it a whirl (not much liking the current 3 themes, but love the functionality & options it will bring).
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jentzschman2000:
Agreed. Love this idea. It should be an option with cm7 IMHO.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aremcee:
It's a theme, installed as an APK. Messing up with ROMs to change layout has always been a problem, it's _very_ easy to mess up something, especially when those changes are done by simply repacking the resources (unzip, replace, re-zip). It's a fairly frequent source of support problems for developers, and it's just an ugly way of themeing a phone.

CM7 includes a themeing engine developed by T-Mobile, and the main reason for it is to prevent these problems (and it is _very_ powerful, allows you to change almost anything from layout to animations, not just graphics). If you're running a recent build of CM7 (or any of the many CM kangs) , open the "Theme Chooser" application and choose one of the 2 samples: they are a very small example of what can be done. Note that even the window transitions are changed. Then search the market for "greybeard", and have fun installing your first market theme ;)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tnpapadakos:
well, no, its not a theme yet

its actually a kanged version of cm7

THE ONLY THINGS THAT ARE CHANGED ARE:

images in framework, SystemUI, Settings, Bluetooth, Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Contacts, Deskclock, Email, FM, MMS, Music and Phone

no layouts or xml files are changed, only images

the images changed have the exact same names, they have only been colorized so that the menu icons and notification bar icons that were grey/black and white before are now colored...some others that were colored before (like battery for instance) were changed to blue or some other design that i preferred (i personally cant stand the signal bars/wifi indicators in gingerbread)

this was originally just something i was doing for myself for a few months starting in july, 2010, but after i finally shared it in october over at cmforum, it took off as people liked it

there is nothing else changed in the ROM itself, so flashing this overtop of your current version of cm7.*** doesnt "break" anything else

so really its as simple as having both versions available on sdcard and flashing one or the other

honestly, its much to do about nothing, its just a different look

if someone can tell me how to "theme" the framework, and all those apk's listed above without doing it this way, i'd be glad to do it, it would save me alot of work, but i like doing it anyway
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aremcee:
Sorry about the confusion, I was referring to my own screenshot :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tnpapadakos:
nevermind...:o
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Deuces:
For those of you crying that this will break ****: No, it won't. It is a full rom. Nothing is broken/breaking.

I am working on adding it to the theme chooser, as that's the goal here.

I have been using the version since the first version was introduced until I moved to MIUI. I had it for a while and haven't had any issues with anything whatsoever

Used the full versions myself

Love the work. Thanks

GO Launcher EX is the extra version of GO Launcher, one of the most popular stock home replacement app in android market, provides beautiful themes, fast flip speed and tons of useful functions. Don't know how many of you use it. Its very fast has an inbuilt task killer also!!
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] $ideWinder:
Check out the website!!

http://www.goforandroid.com/
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] nutterbg:
I've been using GO Launcher for a while now, it's by far the best out there. Only strange thing i noticed is that with GO Launcher EX you need to install a separate module in order to have missed call and message notifications down in the dock.
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] Destroyer-XDA:
Can you organize apps into different categories?
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] $ideWinder:
No but u can put them into folders.
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] djdeeles:
Awsme launcher thanx :)
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] wo0drow:
I've tried other launchers and this is the only one moving smoothly on my Optimus. In addition to that it has icon personalization and you can make those annoying never-used apps disappear in your app menu.

it has enough customization options and the battery use is quite low. A must-have!
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] xdemo0nx:
very good ...... n.n
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] WandererTJ:
Go Launcher EX in my opinion has to be the best one out there.

I am one of the people who actually enjoyed Touchwiz at first....well, until my app drawer reached over 10 pages (That's 160 apps and I even had the bloatware hidden with TiBackup)

Anyways. I have just this completely crazy and awesome thing going with Go Launcher on my phone. The best thing is, I've gone from 10 pages all the way down to 4. This launcher has so much customization and features, and on top of it all, it runs extremely fast.

I have posted several screens of what I have done on my phone using Go Launcher as well as just some screens so people can see it and understand it more.

The 1st is a preview of the ui swiping side to side, the 2nd is all my home screens, the 3rd is what the new app drawer looks like (notice the folders INSIDE the app drawer), the 4th is just all the options I have on my main home screen. The 5th and 6th Images are showing how you can switch the dock back and forth. The 7th is showing the modded facebook app available here on the XDA and my personal mod of the Picture Dial widget. And the last is the Screen Shortcut Screen (when you pinch the screen at home).

I hope you all enjoy.

NOTE: The "theme" I have is purely from the customization features I had available. I did not mod it at all (with the exception of one widget) nor did I actually create a theme for the Launcher like those which are available for ADW.

You can find almost all of what you see via internet. I had to photoshop a few icons (you'll notice them on the screen shots showing my different dockbars as those images are more recent).
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] matty1whit:
gunna have to give this one a try adw launcher just isnt cuttin it for me any more
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] mesaj:
Using 2.3.2 Mur4ik ROM what I find is that Home Manager shows both Go Launcher EX and stock launcher are running at the same time, stock can take up to 40mb RAM, and second that for Go Launcher EX, so I've changed to stock because I want more mem and when I AutoKill stock then Go launcher Running tab says there's more ram.

How can I customize stock 2.3 launcher?

I need to change number of screens to 3 from 5, I don't need more.

Is there any way to create folders in menu instead in "desktop" only?

Screen transistions are not my priority, but Go Launcher is much user friendly anyway, and allows quick access to most commonly used options by me.
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] WandererTJ:
How much memory did you say Go Launcher used up? when I'm in it's app drawer tab and kill everything I can only get a max of about 150 out of a possible 303Mb

I will say that you can clear up some memory if you "Freeze" your default launcher using Titanium Backup.

Oh and one of the coolest things about Go Launcher is that since I made a Titanium Backup of it before changing Roms, when I got my phone back up and running again, all I had to do was go into Go Launcher's Preferences, scroll down and hit restore configuration (I had made a back up, can't forget that) and all my custom icons were restored. I had to add my widgets back manually, but that wasnt too big of a deal (I didn't make a titanium backup of that, but I think you can).

...hold on, actually Titanium Backup just restored all my apps, the Go Launcher's configuration is completely separate from titanium backup. GO Launcher creates it's own folder on your SD card for it's backups. It's pretty cool.

Soooo..... has anyone happened to have talked to the developer or anything to find out about making custom themes? I haven't had any experience making themes for other launchers, but I'd like to give a shot at making one for Go Launcher and I haven't seen anything on how to make one unfortunately.
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] mastaowen:
nice but crashes too frequently
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] arperalta3:
for my it is the best launcher for now, and in the oficial page says that it going to have customs themes
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] revan17:
Is there any way to decrease the number of screens? I find it incredibly irritating to see have 5 screens, I only need and use 2.
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] angemon10:
I found GO Launcher to work best with stock 2.1. There are buch of themes for it, but only several of them are good for me.

Just swipe up, and you'll get all screens.
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] revilo34:
i used SPB Shell 3D and its great no FCs icons can be modified you choose any interface like iphone, samsung galaxy and HTC style:D
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] $ideWinder:
This app jus got better!!! :D besides its all new awsome looks,its fast n smooth!!
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] ferrari35:
I love this launcher as you can resize widgets and mess around with almost anything in it.

one simple question...how to change a language in GoLauncher EX?
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] sherpa25:
Just moved to Go Launcher Ex from ADW Launcher Ex and seem to prefer it. The only thing I'm missing so far is 'Activities' for Widgets. How do we contact the developer(s), where we can ask if this feature would be added?
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] sodks:
Change language

Please, help, I install "GO LauncherEX Catalan language", how do I change the language of Go launcher Ex? :eek: :confused:
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] LeoPosas:
The bad thing of this Launcher is the battery and RAM consume :/

but have a lot of options and features, maybe the most customizable for Android, smooth and beatiful widgets.

Rumours. As you have to open and to clean with "Alcohol"...

Maybe some SMD parts are Water damaged...

Videos and Service Manual how to open are here:

NO Guarantee that success. Maybe you kill more if you open self... :o

But "Oxidation of iron" is bad.... you have to dry and clean to prevent more damage...

Again. Never tried. :)

Several instructions via Google available... how to clean and dry PCB in Alcohol.

Good Luck.

I am looking to combine various UI features of different ROMS together. For example, I like how with Liquid ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920804) you can swipe left from the homescreen to access your Recent History of apps, and you can swipe right to access your Media. I want to somehow integrate that into the MIUI ROM, but I have no idea how to start. I just rooted & flashed my first ROM on my HTC Dinc yesterday, so I am very much so a beginner.

Eventually I want to create an awesome ROM that I can share with the community.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android] wes342:
first you should learn about cooking a rom

so you can get an idea of whats included in a rom

then you should learn how to build aosp roms

thats the best place to start.

it would be almost impossible for anybody to just jump in and start

integrating UIs.
[Android] newark_b:
OK thank you.

I've used dsixda's kitchen (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246) to cook my own versions of both the MIUI and Liquid ROMs, basically just moving apps from /system/apps to /data/apps just so I could have the option to uninstall them. I checked around the file system and there is a lot of stuff there, so I would really like to figure out what to look for in each directory. Do you have any resources/links for me to accelerate my learning?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overstew:
Sprint just upgraded my signal at my house, last week I was getting max 70 kbps, now I'm getting 1,800 kbps. You sure the signal at your house isn't just weak? Try your friend's evo with your phone in a speedtest (download speedtest on market) and see if they're the same speed.

well i just did it and i have 1528kbs dl and 52kb Upload but with myfriends evo he get 1965kbs dl and 253kbs upload.... and this is with the keypad code (evo)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decalex:
U guys are getting those speeds on 3G?? Man.. I rarely break 100kb/s down

Btw, look for a thread titled something like, "make 4g faster".. I'm pretty sure it's in development. There's a process where u can modify 3g settings as well, but may just have to do with the transition FROM 4g to 3g..

EDIT:

It's in General and called "want better 4g signal?"

I have to agree. I would fully expect and support removing of something like a link to a pirated copy of an app but it's a step too far to remove links or mentions of apps that might be used for piracy. Technically a web browser can do that, are you going to block Dolphin or Opera?
