Here is my first theme made for the Herald. I'm new to this so I've begun by modifying the default htc touch theme and made it darker (close to black) and changed it a bit. Hope someone likes it.
damn......nobody postes screen shoots
it's like the basic dark grey-black htc theme for touch with some modifications to look better (In my opinion at least).
I'll check it out. I've been looking for a darker/better looking version of that theme. I can't post screenies yet, but I'll give a review.

Oh wow hey this is great man! I LOVE the blue text!
What I think would really make it look better is if you could make the theme match Schap's 2G dialer. Possible make the greys look less monotone. I'm not saying add pinks and crap to it, but make it less grey and more black, with some grey contrasts to it. Hard to explain what I mean, but basically the text adds some much needed color, and I think the greys could be changed to do the same, but only staying withing the black/grey spectrum.
The only thing I do not like is the background wallpaper. Something smoother and darker would be nice, maybe mix in some of the same blue color you've got on the text with it. Dunno.
Does any of that make sense?
Overall, I like it, and am going to use it until you release another one.
You're on the money with this one. Taking what's already out, tweaking it, and making it better. Excellent.
Your theme looks fairly decent. The text color in the start menu is blue as well.
THX I like it!
thank you all for the apreciation.
I'm thinking of making a new theme, but currently looking for ideas. Does any of you have some ideas about some color combinations and background pictures? I'll make the theme and then i will upload it here. Any sugestions are welcomed.
Get rid of the grey shades. I hate grey and black together. Very dull. Keep the blue text, it looks great! I think a background image with some planets, or stars, or nebulae or something would be sweet with such a dark theme.
Make it a space theme!

Ok, we'll go to space However, complex coloured images on the today screen may affect the text readability. I'll try my first space theme with a background image of the moon or some other bunch of planets laying arround.
The trouble with themes is that you can't satisfy all people because their different opinions regarding the ideal theme.
Ahh true. It's all good, make what you like, and to hell with everyone else!

RVM, I didn't put it that way. If I were to make a theme for myself I wouldn't need to upload it and just download again. Also I wouldn't have any need to comment it with people since I've made it to best suit my needs.
On the other hand I'm not that much into space themes. Personally I don't think a 320x240 screen with lots of text on it, can express the complexity of space (stars, planets, some dust&stuff) or at least not in the same manner like your average desktop. However I'll try this (or other themes) in order to to find out if it suits other people.
Regarding Theme?
Quick question Guys, where are you Guys placing the theme at. Exactly in which folder should I say. I downloaded a theme over the net and can"t figure out where to place it. Thanks for your help People...
^^Its very easy. Just place it in the first folder that comes up when you activesync.
This is a very nice theme. Im looking forward to more from you
has anyone gotten it working on their atrix?
it temporarily makes the wallpaper all black and then it flips back to my previous wall paper
heres a link if you want to try it on your atrix
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/16/download-nexus-s-microbes-live-wallpaper/
You link seems to be incorrect... this should be the one you were looking for: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/16/download-nexus-s-microbes-live-wallpaper/
About to download and try...
Edit: Doesn't seem to work. Actually defaults to the previous normal wallpaper used because I use a live wallpaper and it went to the normal wallpaper I used before my live wallpaper.
hmm maybe its because of our abnormal 960x540 resolution? but thats strange because many other live wallpapers work with this res.
I'm dying to have this LW. I sure wish some knowledgeable person could get it to work on Atrix.
On the other hand, does the marketplace carry something similar, hmmm.
Microcosm live wallpaper, but compared to the original, it's kind of meh. Better than nothing though.
The land of Honeycomb wallpapers is not heavily populated at the moment. There are bits and pieces scattered about out there, but I thought I might be handy to have a central place to keep some.
I am finding that 1920x1408 is the best size for wallpaper on my Iconia.
Attached a some that I have collected from all over the place. I cannot take credit for this work. Full credit must be given to those smart folk out there who created this work and were kind enough to share it. THANKS!
**Note: Images from this post and the next post can be downloaded from here.
By the way, so as to avoid posts blowing out to enormous sizes, if you would like to share your wallpaper (and I encourage you to do so )
please use the 'attach' feature so that a thumbnail is displayed rather than inserting/embedding the full size image.
A zipped file of the high res copy, or a link to an image sharing site is also handy for people to download.
More wallpapers ...
Very cool! Thanks Franwella
Thanks for these
Thanks for the wonderful wallpapers
I installed a couple but no matter how I crop, the picture is zoomed in on the screen.

How did you download the files?
Make sure the images are 1920x1408.
To do this, don't 'right click and save' on the images in this thread.
Instead, go to the Picasa link in the first post, select the image you would like, then click download (tool bar above the pic).
great

Great, how do I get these into the Wallpaper folder as that one does not need to crop.
Thanks for this my friend. I have just purchased the iconia 32gb and am on the look out for bits to do to it lol.
Dark Wood
"Dark Wood" has been my wallpaper on all of my devices:
http://zygat3r.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Wood-58266349
I have yet to find a more subtle, understated wallpaper. It looks great on anything from a 21" monitor, to my A500, to my OG Droid.
OK, I dug into my wallpaper collection and picked a few goodies. I have resized them according to the original posters suggestion of 1920 x 1408 pixels. Some were downsized, some were upscaled, I tried my best to maintain proportions and aesthetics by some smart cropping were it was applicable.
Enjoy. There should be something for everyone.
Copyrightwise this it free commons stuff (free of rights). It has been grabbed mainly from artists subscribing to this free commons on Deviantart or on 4chans /wallpaper section. I hope the forum will not make any image dimension changes.
If you want to quickly grab them all in a piece download the archive here:

water live wallpaper from the Asus Transformer
I don't know if anyone is interested in the live wallpaper of the rising water with icecubes from the Asus Transformer. it works good and it seems the level of of water corresponds to the amount of battery the Iconia has left, which I like.
I tried to post the link, but it's not allowed till I post a few more times. But anyone interested can just google "asus transformer live walpaper apk." The first link brought me to the right page.
After you download use "My water_signed.apk."
I love my Iconia, but the Asus live wallpaper is pretty cool.
I have made a simple wallpaper. Contains parts of my Boot animation you can find here

I tried it out but over time, found it destabilized my tablet (not rooted - no funky apps installed - well, except that one) so I stopped using it. No problems like that since.
[OT] The Asus weather app is nice though.
Can someone please post screen shots of non native tablet apps on the N10?
(Phone apps on the N10)
Also could you post screens shots of the Web browser in portrait and landscape.
Thank you.
Speedtest's app is a great example of a horrible looking phone app (tablet isn't nearby or I'd upload a screenshot). I mean it looks good and works, but it doesn't scale, at all. On the other hand, it isn't blown up like Google's Translate app. Not sure which I prefer
Do all phone apps look ugly on the N10?

I have only had my N10 for less than a week, but for the most part, have been plesantly surprised how well the device scales almost any app. I was expecting ugly jaggies icons but that did not happen. Even scalling transcoded (640x360) videos look good. Of course HD videos (720p, 1080p) look fantastic.
There are exceptions to the rule but for me this is a non-issue.
You can also replace the ugliest icons with higher quality ones using one of the many customization apps on the Play store (e.g. "Icon Changer"). If you want to go extreme use one of the many custom roms that support theming and apply a theme with high quality icons and you will not be disappointed.
For just one example among many, I use the CM 10.1 based, Sintinel ROM 4.0 and installed "Theme Chooser Themes" from the Playstore. Then used "Theme Chooser Themes" to peruse many themes eventually picking "Crystal 2" to download and install. The process was quick and easy.
"Theme Chooser Themes" specifically supports CM10 and AOKP based custom ROMs. You need to be unlocked and rooted to install a custom ROM. If you want to stay stock then there are many customization/theming apps on the play store some of which can be used without rooting.
I hope this info helps.
I think apps only look bad when they won't work in landscape mode.
That is my criteria for accepting an app

Got any screenshots?
Ones that are scaled for the mobile displays and not the desktop/tablet ones? Been looking to switch up my wallpaper a bit, but the ones I grab off the Internet just don't look good on the phone the majority of the time.

For the moment I am just rotating & cropping desktop 1440p wallpaper in Nova Launcher. If there are more 1080X1920 portrait wall paper I'd like to see them.
Try ZEDGE

I use an app called ZEDGE - you can download and install hundreds (thousands) of Hi Definition, awesome quality Wall Papers - I personally like wall papers that have a sort of 3d effect - with depth to the image - and I found quite a few from ZEDGE - You will find it here;
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.zedge.android&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
As an added bonus, you can also download free ringtones, notifications and alarms. I love it - good luck - hope it works for you.
If I have helped, don't forget to say thanks.
I posted in the themes sub forums that the correct resolution for the phone is 2160x1920. This results in the most detailed backgrounds. Personally I've found there to be a lack of wallpapers for my taste in this resolution so I resorted to the slightly more common 2560x1920 wallpapers. It crops wide, but height is perfect.

I found a nice website with a lot of 2160X1920 wallpaper for GS4 here :http://www.mygalaxys4wallpaper.com/gallery.php?gallery_id=21_Space&paging=0
Just updated my own Wallpaper.
pics work too; i snapped this one the other day, desaturated it, and cropped it.
I find good pictures then I make the HD background. For best support I crop and scale them to 1920x1920. Then it works for vertical and horizontal screen without anomalies.

Well, to get full HD wallpapers I can only recommend http://fhdwallpapers.weebly.com/ . The site is easy to use and browse, and it's commited to providing only vertical (portrait) 1080p wallpapers for mobiles; some high quality stuff there actually.
If you want full HD wallpapers with the status bar shadow effect (my personal favorite), then go to http://fhdwallpapers.weebly.com/shadows.html .
