[Q] Can you name these widgets & launcher??

I seen someone post these screen shots and I am very curious of what everything is. I am not sure if they are themed or market widgets. I like the launcher too.
Can anyone put a name to what any of these are? I would definitely like to try them out. Thanks.

The launcher is launcher pro with an icon pack

that looks really cool, I might look into launcher pro.

Thanks. I am already using LauncherPro Plus, and now I have yet another reason to love it even more.

What's the icon pack and where do I get it?

the widgets aren't part of launcher pro, as far as I know. For the clock, I think it's SiMi Clock widget for the one on the right. I'm not sure if it's also the one on the left

The battery ne is circle battery widget that is free from the market, the weather looks lke beautiful widgets which is a paid app

Picture 1:
- Launcher: Probably Launcher Pro
- Battery: Not sure
- Weather: I'm guessing Simi Clock Widget (with the weather on) resized
- Date: Not sure
- Clock: Simi Clock Widget (with the weather off)
Picture 2:
- Launcher: Probably Launcher Pro/Plus
- Weather: Beautiful Widgets with Tick skin
- Clock: Simi Clock Widget (with the weather off)
- News Widget: Genie Widget (But not the default. Looks like a modded version to me)

The battery widget is called "circle battery widget" by cedric depoortere

You hit it right on the head! You extend the lines by using LauncherPro's resizing handles. Customization at its finest.... Thanks!!!

Wow I really like these too, I think I'll spend the evening trying to get my homescreen to look like this. Is that really the Dreamlyfe pack?

No I just really wanted to know what those icons were. I experimented with a launcher a long time ago on my mytouch and I hated how it looked and how it slowed my phone so I just had never tried one again but jeez that picture is just exactly the clean look I've been craving for my phone. I like the stock launcherpro icons but I am the kind of person who likes (free, not warez just free) options.

Yea, I definitely had it looking close. That Simi widget is a mystery. I am not sure how he got that horizontal like working in there like that. For the longer vertical line tho, just use LauncherPro's resizing and stretching it downward.

Take a look at clockR in the market
Also these
Simi clock in market
Oneseven Pro in market
battstatt in market

Anyone know a good place to find free icons for launcher pro? I like the ones in the picture but I'm a broke college student. Not looking for cracks or anything like that just want some place to get some free opensource .pngs =)

If for personal use, (and if rooted) you can always download adw icon packs (tons of free ones on market), go to root explorer, find the apk it installed to your data/app folder, copy it to your SDcard. (This is easier to do on ur computer). Open up the apk with 7zip, find the folder with the pngs and copy them to a folder. I keep an "Icons" folder on my sdcard containing folders with various icon packs, for ex. Then it's easy to browse and assign them as you please (as custom icons).
There's also a paid app called launcherpro icons that does a lot of the work for u.. all launcherpro themed. They also have a website (community contributed) u can just grab em off and copy to your sd- nice launcherpro docks too.

Ahh, one more thing, you guys should check out a widget called minimalist text on the market (i think an xda dev). It's super clean, and he's been refining it like crazy. Ultra customizable.

Customize lockscreens?

I was curious if there was anyway to use a lockscreen other than the ones provided with CM7 (which is what I'm currently using). And where would I go about finding them?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

There are but first learn to post in the general area if you have a question.
There is widget locker in the market as well as extracting the framework-res.apk and chamging lockscreen images and make a flashable zip.
Signatures are fancy.

Check out the WidgetLocker app. Its really awesome and well worth the price. When you buy it you will then be able to customize it and make the lockscreen change with themes other have made.
Heres a thread with some of the widgetlocker themes people are creating
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968613

Ill give it a look. Thanks for the quick reply.

Whenever I used widgetlocker, my cm7 lockscreen and the widgetlocker lockscreen would always interfere with each other...how did you get around that?

works ok for me, running CM7(RC2)
agree with others, Widget Locker is the best... and only $2

Thats why I stopped using it. Would get a hesitation using widget locker as it doesnt actually replace the stock lockscreen. It just seems to overlay it. What it appeared to be to me was that widget locker, being an app, had to load. So if it dropped out of Memory the phone had to reload it and it caused this stutter/hesitation between it and the actual lockscreen. Not that big a deal, but it gave the appearance that the phone was glitchy which I didnt like (i do everything i can to make the phone super smooth, no sense in installing an app that counters that, no matter how slight).
Now I just go with no sliders and use a gesture to unlock the phone and have another gesture to toggle sound. Super clean and confusing to whoever picks up the phone trying to be sneaky.

You could use desktop visualizer to kind of create icons, where you can choose the icon for application and so on...just take a look at it

Interesting, i have checked it out,going to play with it later (The app!) Then report back.Looks good though,cheers mate

This feature really should be included in sense,very time consuming having to use the app just to remove the text from under the icon.

Well, if you use a a different launcher, like launcherpro or adw, you can use custom icon packs(Suave etc).

Good app,desktop visualization shame it cant replace apps stock icon

Yup, using an alternate launcher in my opinion is the easiest way. There are plenty of themes available, and you can also change individual app icons very easily. I use Go Launcher Ex. It has some really cool transition animations.

I totally agree, HTC, must realise that ALOT of their customers want to tweek Sense more than they currently allow, so they eventually turn to other launchers.
Causing negative feelings towards Sense... as stable as it is!

I also prefer Go Launcher Ex for this, because not only does it allow Icons to be easily changed, but also renaming of apps.
I hate to see names cut off on the homescreen so I change them - for example
Tune In Radio is cut to Tune In... - so I change it to 'Radio'

One solution could be with Folder Organizer App. In Folder Organizer create a shortcut of app you want and simply change the icon. Afther that go to home, add, shortcut, Folder Organizer Item, shortcuts and select the one you created.

looking for apps

Apps like Chronus, which can be used as lockscreen widget?

As some of you know Chronus (cClock or something of Cyanogenmod) was released yesterday, I like it, but I don't like the date being so small, and I can't change the font. Now I'm using Zooper Widget, which is nice but on lockscreen that widget scales badly on widget maximization and changes its position. So do you guys know any app like Chronus, but with more customisation? I don't really like the default Samsung clock position or font, also I want to keep the Samsung lockscreen, don't like third party lockscreen apps like Widget Locker or anything.
Thanks in advance.
