adw.launcher is probably the best launcher around. I just started using it and thought it be cool to see what others have done with it. I'll post mine soon
I haven't started using it, but I'm interested. Please add pics.
Look in the themes section, there are a bunch in there.

This thread is meant to open peoples minds to knew layouts and new applications. With that said I'd like to try and keep some kind of order to the madness with a general layout that will be updated upon request via PM, please keep post related to the layout .
1. Pictures from left to right of your home screens. (screen captures preffered)
2. If you would like list applications do so next and list in order of screen left-right to keep confusion down.
3. If you have a QR code for that app by all means post it bellow the apps name.
I will update when I get off at 9:00 to show my layout, and please follow forum rules, and always, have fun and play nice

I love how they do all of these changes, however, they still have not included a feature that lists app's by their rating or alowyou to search app's by rating.

Well after my first week or so now of messing around with my EvO I figured it was maybe time to start posting.
I was thinking that maybe a whole thread of other people's setups they are using right now. (I know people change a lot, so maybe it would be cool for you to go back and add your changed setups to your original post.) I think by doing this it might help out other people and then also give others idea's.
I know some people put this information in their signature but I think that maybe it would be cool if this information was also included in one area that would be easy for others to locate. But this also means that for this thread to even work properly it's going to take a group effort.
Open for input, just shoot me a PM. (If no one post in the next four hours I will post mine first....
Already a thread like this in the theme section.
Swyped from my SBC powered ticking time bomb.

Sweet thanks a lot for the link. I just figured a thread like this would have been located here in this forum. Oh well......
Again thanks for the heads up with the link.
I must say to all the Devs who make Roms and themes that it is really difficult! Ive been tring to learn for quite some time now how to theme but cant seem to figure it out. Ive read though tons of forums and watched idk how many hours of youtube vids and still am struggling. Anyone else care to learn or shed some tips for the people who want to participate more to this forum. Ive been freeloading on awesome roms and themes long enough and would like to give back to XDA. Any help is appriciated

I honestly think the best thing to read is the themeing guide that dreamsforgotten put together in the Epic themeing section. I learned more from that than anything.
Yeah, it's more copy and pasting than you think it is (if you're porting a theme).
DreamForgotten's theme is helpful, but some things he does are more difficult than required. For example, to edit the framework.res, just extract the drawable-hdpi, then place it back in over the old one when you're done. Make sure you're theming from a deodexed theme first so you'll have a lot more images to edit. Hope this helps a bit

Plus there are lots of sites (google them) with free icons and pngs.
Thanks so much for the advice. I know I read through it once and it did help but I'm goin to read through it again. I had a feeling it was mostly copy and paste but I'm not very familiar with it so I wasn't sure if that would mess anything up by copying an image from an older theme to a newer one. I guess its all trial and error lol. Thanks again guys

There is a lot more to it than just copy and pasting (IMO). You CANNOT copy paste xml file and edits within them. 9 patch images can be a little tricky and cannot just be dragged and dropped from a 7zip file. My suggestion would be to not try and take shortcuts that you think might work because normally they cause you major headaches in the long run. There are a few pretty good themers in our forum that will help time permitting of course.

Good for you, you little themer, you! LOL.
Nice job. Too many people complaining about themes and not enough themers so you are a welcome addition.
Guys, I'm very upset : I made this theme and shared it on this forum last week.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705838
Now, I see ROMs coming using my themed apps, and even nearly all my theme.
Nobody ask me anythink, to use some part of my work, and I've never seen any credits on those ROM thread. That's sad.
It's ok if people use my work and like it, but please, just a little "thanks" is not too much to ask, right ?
UPDATE : Xenon added me in the credits part.
people should defently credit you where your work is used dude and its out of order that your not getting credit for your work
i hope it gets sorted and your work is recognised as yours
have a good day
edit
your 1st link doesnt take you to your theme but i guess the rom that is using your theme
I think the link of your theme topic is not the right one.
But you're right, those devs suck. You can send them a message to warn them and the might precise that you're the theme maker on their topics.
Agreed it's not right. (If indeed true.)
It's best to PM the Developers and resolve the matter privately first in a civilized way.
Cheers.
Edit- Ah, I've just seen you've posted on the thread already. Disregard my opening statement.
Sorry I made a mistake on my theme link, fixed it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705838
If I started this thread, it's because I see that sereral ROMs are posted here, and no credits at all is given. No credits for theme, kernel, or even the original ROM they use, like 'hey, here is my work, I done it alone'.
PM all the devs/cookers who used your theme! If it gets sorted that way cool, or else time to call mods

yes, thanks. Xenon now added a credits on me, and I added his ROM in my thread. That is the kind of 'win-win' relationship I'm talking about.
I agree that most of the time, just by asking the devs, problems like that can be resolved quickly.
Really Sorry about this situation that I put you in. I tried to find your name but couldn't. It won't happen again. I assure you. Even when somebody asked me that if it is your theme. I CLEARLY pointed out that it's NOT mine. Sorry again.
Feel free to PM me with any ROM that has not properly credited your work, and myself or another moderator will have a look at it.
XDA rules dictate to attempt to solve these issues prior to posting in the open forums.
