Hello
I got the idea to write my own home screen replacement / launcher.
My problem is that I find information on the topic is sparse at best. Or I'm looking in the wrong places.
So my question is: do any of you guys have pointers? Information? How tos? On the topic.
Any help would be appreciated
Thx

You could start with the source to the stock version of Launcher, and just start fiddling with it to see how it works
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Launcher.git;a=summary
Go download the SDK and look under sample. Look for home. It's a good place to start.
thx i will look that up then

Hey all, newbie here!
Let me just say that this is a great forum and you guys do wonders to borring phones...
I am interested in learning how to build an app for PPC. I have a program I use for work and would love to try and port it over. Can someone send me links and just basic info on how to get started?
Just a background, I am in IT and have programming so I am not a newbie to that world, just phone apps.
Thanks for any advice and keep up the awesome work. Timmay!!!
Do you have access to the source code of the program you want to port over? What is it written in?

Is anyone familiar with Rainmeter for Windows.
I know you guys are incredible with skinning phones and pda's but I am learning simple skinning with windows still.
I have a program called Rainmeter and I have this specific skin that keeps me up to date with stocks I plug into it. My dilemma is I can only get the top 4 to work which is the default script but when I add my other 10-11 stock tickers they don't work.
Can anyone help me? I have both the original and edited .ini script files for anyone willing to take a look and help.

Can't be of a better help, but your best bet is to read the stickies at the topic, then use the search function, and finally go to this link (Questions and Answers) and post your question there.

Hi there,
Please don't shoot me down if the info I'm asking for her is already on the forums but I've been trying to find it for ages.
I saw a picture of Asus lamborghini ZX1 a while ago and wondered whether I cold get the same theme on my XDA Orbit. The closest I've found is someone else on here who's started to make one that can be loaded using the M2D software.
What I'd like to do is try to create my own. I've looked all over the place but can't find any help on how to do it. Can anyone direct me towards a website explaining how to create themes that I can install using the M2D software?
This might be a simple question but I just cant find it anywhere.
Cheers,
YP

Unfortunately it is not as simple as throwing some .png and .jpg files into a ThemeGen and out pops a theme. It is, sometimes tedious, editing of xml files. For a better understanding look here.
