Someone over at Android Central asked about changing the default Contacts/People icon and although I wasn't able to successfully change that, I was able to change the default incoming call picture on the EVO.
See http://forum.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/88768-change-android-man.html for info.

Thanks for the tip.

That's pretty cool, I'll have to mess around with this when I get home. Does this hack get erased every time you change themes?

I've never done themes so not sure if it gets erased. It's a change to a system file so my guess is that it won't.
Tried for hours to change the default contact silhouette pic but no joy. I see my pic has changed but nothing actually shows the change. :-(

The only reason I ask is because, I notice some themes change it when you apply them. Some are cool looking, some are not. Sometimes I get that ugly one which looks like the silhouette of an old lady. Ruins the theme in my opinion.

Is there any kind of interest in icons like these? If so I'll go ahead and make them...
Thanks!

....They're alright.
The lines seem a little fuzzy.
I don't really like the upside down effect either. It makes a simple icon seem like half a paragraph.
You have a good idea, you just need to work on it.
i agree, if you put the text central and get rid of the "upside down" text I think they'd be great
Exactly. Icons are supposed to represent a program or a function.
Google can do this with a simple 'G'.
Yahoo with a 'Y'.
Be as short as possible, while still enabling any user to understand what it means.

i think theyre good. just make them with a reflection look underneath instead of the text above it.

Wow! Took the words right out of my mouth !
+1 on raising the text, and giving the glass/reflection effect below.
Also, maybe a faded image behing the text, of the app, so for Opera, have the "O" behind text "browse the web"
Hi
I am sure that I am not alone when I look at the new WM6.5 Start Menu and it just looks plain bloody ugly where it was once honeycomb and now all the icons are spaced oddly in rows of 3 icons then the next row below has only two and on and on..
Is it possible to go more down the line of having them all line up both horizontally and vertically.
See below mock up please.
Regards

That would look nice. Also, how about being able to arrange alphabetically?
My thoughts exactly
Can't be that hard. But since i'm using Launchpad nowadays, i'm not gonna make it

Would be cool as above Launchpad & Launchmanager are good progs but an app to replicate WM6.1 menu with Start Menu hook and the ability to change background "and other tweaks" would be sweeeet
If you have any luck let me know! It seems that the honeycomb is forced. The only way I could get it half-decent was a single column (i.e. a list). For more details, look at:

And with reStart you can tweak it still a bit more like changing folders, arrange icons etc

Looks Good

It looks like you have some kind of non-standard theme running there, perhaps uninstalling that would help? I don't have that voicemail lock on my HD2...even when I have a voicemail. I do get one for text messages though...

Froyo is making nice progress it seems, but I am not sure if you can put applications in there on your own. My guess, those icons are hardcoded in there.
As seen in this video @ 6:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y7XJI4NN7k
It would be awful if they were hard coded. I'm ok with the phone button but maybe i wanna put something else in stead of the browser.
you should perhaps do a search before posting. this exact video is about 8 threads down, here
Interesting, a drop down icon below the google icon in the search widget... does that mean you can change your search engine?
Seems like they let you change orientation how you want in froyo Like cyangoen, or whoever did that mod did
Nice find. Anything can be changed
thats cool, I can roll with that.
maybe it's just me, but i don't find that launcher very attractive; i like the helixlauncher's ability to add 4 shortcuts, which looks much better than this

I'm guessing it's so you can choose options like Image search, local search, books etc.
That makes more sense to me, but who knows.
I love this since helixlauncher2 FC alot!
More home pages please
I liked the previous one better...
The update isn't launched yet and it can be anything....
Fingers crossed...
wish they would add the ability to turn the notification bar from white to black. I also like helixlauncher2's ability to remove the notification bar entirely from the homescreen.

No it doesn't. I haven't had a single crash in over a month. Maybe you should unbreak your phone.
I have been wanting to do this for a while and today found myself bored enough to do it.
menu/setting/cyanogen setting/user interface/notification colors
With so many notification color customization it gets a little confusing, so I made this so that setting colors isn't quite so trial and error.

Sorry, meant to put on OP.
menu/setting/cyanogen setting/user interface/notification colors

Glad it helps ya it confused me before. Now that I made this I just set a really nice color set

How on earth did you get the background of the notifications to be black?
No matter what I press it stays white.
Edit: Nevermind, reboot.
