I've been looking for some decent rlToday, and/or UltimateLaunch themes but it seems like their scarce and skattered everywhere. Does anyone know where I can find some good themes? The few that i've found searching through this forum, didn't really interest me. Im hoping someone can direct me to a some nice ones. Thanks

You will probably have to be a little more specific as to what you consider "nice" themes. Just do a simple search and start browsing through the threads/posts until you find something that you like. I even believe that there is a sticky with UltimateLauncher themes, icons, and stuff...

This is one of the better looking themes i've seen..

I would love to have that theme, but I dont think he's put out anything on it.
As far as a general idea of what kind of themes I may be interested in.. Windows Vista Style themes more specificaly but Im open to other great themes such as the one above.

The Feature Request Thread

In an effort to help cut our clutter down, this thread should be used for all general feature requests.
First request:
Use the other forums for non-develop related posts.
Second request:
Aosp ported to the eris.

^^ This ^^
A proper tutorial for changing splash1 - DONE
A proper tutorial for boot animations -- including all the ins and outs of image creation/format, programs that are used, and a more complete description of desc.text and how to use it.
I'm all for helping out on those as well pm if anyone would like to exchange info before creating a nicely formatted thread based how to. I'll prolly drop in to chat at some point when I get time too.
PS: I think we should start putting our how-to threads in the general section to avoid people posting randomness in the development section. Since at that point we should be doing minimal development anyway and development related conversation could still take place in the proper forum. Also this could be put in the general forum once people catch on.
All those in favor say Aye.

somebody please make a better dialer... It is the bane of my existence

aosp
Forgive my ignorance, but what is aosp?

theme development
now that we have root has anyone taken a shot at a skin for eris? maybe port some of the wicked cool stuff they have working on the hero side? tons of notification bars, clocks, rosie scrollers...and so much more...just excited to see where our devices can go.
To the devs, thanks for all your effort. For those who are impatient ect just know these guys n gals have work, school, families ect and all they do for us is on their own time...so that being said be courteous and thankful and most of all patient...development has to well...develope....

AOSP is the Android Open Source Project, which is the latest open version of Android, Codenamed Eclair at this time. Its roughly the same as Android 2.1 release.

My Requests
All HTC Widgets including the new ones from the desire/ legend (Friendstream, RSS Reader, Today in History etc.)
Re-skinned Sense Bottom Bar (Some Hero Roms have a rectangular one rather than the curved one we have)
Speed/ Battery Optimization

speech to text

A larger camcorder resolution would be nice, at least the resolution the phone runs in. Also an overclocked processor.

Could anyone see about Using Dialer One as the default dialer app? Like when you press "PHONE", Dialer One comes up instead? That would be great.

new incredible user w/ skinning background

hi all,
in a few days (waiting for wirefly shipping), i'll be an incredible owner. i've done quite a bit of research on the phone up to this point, including coming across this forum and seeing that it was among the most active and informative on the net.
i have an extensive windows skinning/modding background, having been active in the scene for almost 10 years now. i am a moderator at the now mostly defunct customize.org and also at the newer, more active pixelfuckers.org, a site that was started by some of the elite desktop modders in the world as a playground and showcase for our work. my windows screenshots and skins have been very well received by the community and have even won a few contests. i've even had a couple of shots featured on lifehacker.com. i also have a good deal of graphic design and photography/post processing experience.
what i'm getting at here is that i will most certainly be looking to mod the living hell out of my incredible when it finally arrives and i'm looking for the best way to do so. i know of apps like launcher pro and adw launcher and will certainly be utilizing them. i'm also familiar with some of the roms that are available, like cyanogen, and roughly what extra capabilities they give the user as far as customization goes. lastly, i've browsed the incredible screenshot thread and have seen
my questions are as follows :
can i do a fair amount of visual customization without rooting?
what are some free apps that are skinnable and help in visual customization?
thanks in advance everyone.
as a final thought for now, i intend to start making android-sized versions of my popular desktop wallpaper series, 'photowalls', so keep a look out for those in the near future. if you'd like links to any of my work (being a new user, i can't put them in this post), don't hesitate to ask.

Definitely use Launcher Pro, you can choose what icons to use for applications you place on your homescreens, as well as hide apps in the app drawer.
You can also use BetterCut or Folder Organizer to change the icons on folders, all without root.
I'm not sure if you can get access to /system/app without rooting (I'm pretty sure you can't), but if it turns out you can, you can use ADB to replace the apk's with modified ones posted on this forum.
As far as skinnable widgets, I know Beautiful Widgets has a lot of skins available for it, but beyond that I haven't really looked. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the forums. Can't wait to see your work. Rooting is easy. Lots of roms. Great community. Glad to see you here.

thanks for the tips zoon, i'll check that thread out some time.
as far as the wallpapers go, i know the formula for resolution is 1x height and 2x width, making the dinc one 960x800. is there another resolution that's overly common that i should include in the packs? i'll probably throw an iphone-sized one in there too, just to maximize the number of downloads.

also, if anyone out there is looking to collab on a theme/widget design (you do the coding, i do the graphics), i'd definitely be up for it.

I will take you up on that sometime in the future if you don't mind. Im still getting the video cam and bluetooth working. But after that i was going to start themeing/modding.

posted a couple screenshots of what i have so far here.
i still want to look into some modified .apk's that have been posted here...could anyone point me in that direction?

I'll be a monkey's uncle.
It's you.

New theme/UI design

Hi,
for my Major Project I have designed/redesigned the User Interface for Android. It`s not the entire UI just a proposal with common elements.
If anyone is interested in designing a new theme for Android, have a look at the on-line presentation and the entire booklet at
http://softouch.igloo.si

very cool ! i like it
will it be released one day? very interested in

I dont have the programming knowledge to develop it, unfortunately.

cool stuff
Hey congrats! it looks very smart and the idea is very cool

404 Page Not Found
The page you requested was not found.

just tested it, works fine http://softouch.igloo.si/

woow!
It looks very nice!

nice idea and looking great

Hey !
It looks great & i want it absolutely !
Do you develop it???

sorry, no. don't have the necessary knowledge. But if somebody is willing to develop, I am happy to contribute additional design elements if needed.

I saw this thread ages ago and after much searching discovered it again. Have you had any more movement toward making it a reality?

Hi, as mentioned I do not do programming so I can`t create a theme. No dev has approached me either. Until then, this remains a concept

Wow.
Looks very nice. Good design job

Great design concept, it looks really nice.. well done!

i dont have a rooted phone, but that looks like a very cool UI, hope it wrks out for you Bro

gud one..will follow this!! )
Jus give us the updates of ur work, man!!

Thanks, It looks very nice to me.

seriously this should be made into a REAL launcher or something...

thanks to all of you for thumbs up. Again, if anyone is considering making it into a launcher or theme, please contact me.

Hey, why dont you pm 'robocik' or 'coolexe'.. they come up with new roms all the time.. I really want to see this concept become reality..

so let's talk about roms and theming...

This may sound odd.. but it popped up in my head while driving home.
I have been messing around a lot lately with theming, and also playing with the UOT Kitchen... This got me thinking for us less "able" members here..
Is it ethically okay to use someone elses rom (Ie- CM7) as a baseband... and theme it to your liking? then add in the app's you like and whatever you might like in the package and upload it as a different "rom"?
Thanks, and sorry for the odd question

There's a specific post approaching this issue, see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317929
PS: If you want to theme CM7, the best way to do so is with a theme chooser theme No need to re-release roms or anything, just post your theme apk for people to download.

as long as you quote your sources (let everyone know that you used CM7 as a base, and who created all the apps you put in there, etc. etc.) then it's perfectly fine. just be sure to quote every single source you used.
also, don't make it the habit of just releasing themed versions of CM7 or the dev forum will get full of the same ROM with a different look. i'm pretty sure that's the whole reason CM7 comes with a theme engine that makes theming it super easy.
but on the note of your question, just be sure to give credit where credit is due and no one should have a problem with it.

Wow- That stinks... Wish I would have realized that thread pertained to my question.. Sorry about that.
& regarding my theme- It's such a half assed bork job that I'd be embarrassed to post it... Let me do a couple more run's and I hope to have something nice brewed up for you guys
Thank you, and sorry again.

Also- I wasent really thinking to use CM7 Specifically.. I was just using it as an example.
damn, theming is fun! It's a lot of redundant stuff... but fun!
