Home++ scrolling widgets: Possible twitter widget? - Nexus One General

*Hope this is the right section!*
If anyone here knows how to create widgets, and implement Home++'s scrolling widgets feature, can they please create Sense UI style Twitter (FriendStream) and RSS/news widget? I could help with the design and GUI of it, but I have absolutely no idea how to program.
I will help as much as I can though, and I want to bring the whole community together to work on this and create bigger and better widgets/apps.

New Interface.....ideas?

Hi,
I've developed quite a few themes in Wisbar and WAD, including the most authentic iphone skin and the vista theme modified from a theme posted here.
I'm looking for a new challenge and would love to have some ideas for a unique interface. Any ideas are most welcome.
if someone has a drawing or sketch to share, please do so that I can make and share with everyone!
Cheers
go for Manila
go for manila - TouchFlo2
My idea is WM7 Theme (not sure fake or not but its nice )
thanx for the suggestions
how about something new? we have a wonderful cube by Slither that has the potential of being moded into manila.
WM7 is for gesture based devices so that's out of the question till we have gesture based hardware!
How about retaining the same look and feel of our current WM devices but allow flick and scroll/gestures and transitions?
Like scrolling today items vertically or horizontally using flick and scroll. And when I click messaging for example, it will have a nice transition before it shows up. In other words, it's like rewriting the WM shell.. hehe.. I'm just dreaming..
We dont need any hardware... wm7 uses the camera to recognize the gestures... wm7 will work for any wm6 device...
wm7 ui is very cool to see
+1 WM7 kicks ass ^^

iHelp Anyone ?

Im new to this whole PPC to iFonz deal. Ive always been happy with my HTC home plug, but some of this stuff is pretty cool. Anyway... I seen a vid on youtube where they had the iphone style setup, but I dnt thnk it was iFonz. The calendar had the month/day/etc buttons and it had iphone style back or menu buttons in almost every program. Is it a Thumbcal and iFonz skin or what is it? Is there a way to get it with thumbcal n iFonz? Any help appreciated.
Im trying to develope a new weather app, based on the iPhone/touch style. Any pointerS? Let me know what youd like to see. It Will feed off accuweather as of now.
A link to the vid would help a bit, but each is a seperate app, iFonz, ThumbCal, PocketCM, and on and on and on and on and on and on.
iPhone Theme
Its the theme that uses wisbar. I believe its ten dollars. But I found a wonderful theme for thumbcal. Does anyone know of a way to get the buttons in the regular apps thou. I really dont want all the hassle of wisbar

Need some help with HD2 OS customizing.

I'm somewhat new to the UI customizing and need some help to get the desired effect, here's what i want to do, i want to keep the HTC Sense all contacts page, (only cause the functionality is amazing) the htc video and music player, the htc calender, and the HTC settings page (but for it to be set up like the manila windows settings), but i want the home screen to be the Manila Win6.5 screen. any and all help will be appreciated.

I think you're getting the terms confused a little there (which is understandable with this stuff). Manila is just the name for the behind-the-scenes elements of what you know as Sense, which runs on top of WM.
Unfortunately, all of the items you mentioned there are part of Sense, and while you can turn off most of the other tabs you don't want, you can't turn off the home tab without turning Sense off altogether...and when you do that, you then can't access any of the other Sense functions (vid/music players, calendar, settings, etc).
Okay, so is there and tweaks for WM that allow me to get the functionality like the mentioned features of the sense UI? or any that are better, cause as much as i love the SPB stuff, my dad uses it and i just wanna be different...or are there any tweaks for the sense UI that i can use to get what i want? because i kinda want plain WM homepage, but have the links on the homepage go to the parts of the sense UI? (i'll be happy to clarify anything i just said...

I noticed when I used the standard (titanium windows mobile) when I clicked on a few things they would go to the sence version of it but I dont think you can have both...search for titanium wm 6.5 themes and you might find something you like. Sense and SPB mobile shell are way different. Install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483 in my opinion much nicer than SPB mobile and you can still use all your sense icons...search it on youtube for demos
I do like that one, and i know sense and SPB are real different, my dad uses it but i dont want to. D: BTW i got c0okies home tab that toreone suggested, and I LOVE IT! it gives me the freedom to customize it the way i want it, AND it keeps the functionality and the appearance of HTC sense. I <3 xda...

It's all clear, but that's the thing...aside from the messaging client in this build, there's no way to access the sense modules unless sense is running. And when sense is running, you can't access either the standard WM today screen, or the Titanium home screen (the new version of stock WM UI, also built in to your HD2).
Your next option would probably be to just find a 3rd-party app for each of the functions you mentioned...there's plenty of choices in each category, with the exception of the settings. For those, it's either the stock WM settings, or the sense settings, and it sounds like what you're asking for is kind of a hybrid of the two. Since the WM settings are available at the root of the start menu (if you don't have them there when you turn sense off, that can be added), that would be the easiest way to go with that. To find your options for media players and calendars, just do a search on the whole of the xda forums and you'll find a bunch. I don't know much about the calendar apps, but the most common media players in use around here include:
-nitrogen
-coreplayer/tcpmp
-kinoma
-pocket player
EDIT: in the time it took me to write all that, I see now that you've taken toreone's advice and found the joy of CHT...so it's probably a non-issue now anyways
DELETE: double post
haha! sorry, Is there a way to change the top bar (I forgot what it was called), cause the one that it currently has it a bit to basic for me. xD

It's called the taskbar, and the one at the bottom where the soft buttons are is just called the softkey bar, just fyi
You can change the color and style of both of those with something like what you'll find in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5807605&postcount=1
Now, if what you want to change is the notification icon set that appears on the taskbar, there's a bunch of different options for that. I personally use and love dinik's anastasia set, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679518
I've also used and liked brian's gfreek edition taskbar set, and the phoenix edition B&W taskbar set, at the links below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520547
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602295
So could i use the taskbar and softkey bar color changer along with the icon sets?

yes, those elements aren't interdependent like that. most any visual part of sense can be changed independently of the others...but not all though
Okay, cool, hmn... is there a tweak that will getrid of the t-mo startup animation but keep the windows one... found!

No problem! That's why this place exists, and also what's so great about it. Just pay it forward when you get the chance someday

A question about widgets.

One of the things that has me off custom Android 2.1 ROMs for the Tattoo is the fact that the Sense UI. although a memory hog, has really nice widgets I can't seem to be able to get anywhere else...
So I'm looking for at least the following widgets:
- A weather widget that fills one home screen;
- A calendar widget that fills one home screen;
Any help?
Thanks in advance.

I think some of your thoughts for wanting to explain what it is you need help with...never made it to your fingers for typing...
At least post pics...
Well I can't post a picture of what it looks like on my phone because I don't have a camera besides my phone. But I can tell you the widget that I want has the five day forecast. The one I have has the time and only the current weather for some reason.
The widget you want is the Beautiful Weather 4x1. This widget is just the Weather. It's the last one in the widgets list.
Wow! Thanks SiNJiN76. I feel kinda like a noob now. SMH. Thanks again. Not sure why I didn't look down that far.
