I know that ive read heaps of info and it has confused me evan more.
Model X10i
Android version 2.3.3
Baseband 2.1.71
Kernel it wont let me post this question with this included
Build 3.0.1.G.0.75
All im looking for is a way to downgrade for handset back to Android 1.6 or to change the menu bar at the bottom of the screen back.
I know its probably ptretty basic but im lost. I just dont like the way it looks and prefered the 1.6 style.
Again Im sorry but im a technical idiot so a step by step guide is what Im looking for
I don't know how to do this, but I'm shocked anyone would want to...
1.6 was horrible, and most apps won't support it
Basicly, i hate the dark colour over the home bar at the bottom of the screen. I only use it as a phone with a few games. If someone can show me how to change the transparency of that bar that would fix the problem
why don't you just install a launcher? like adw launcher ex, there's a lot of themes for it and a lot of options to customize your home screen, dock, etc. also there's many custom roms as you can see at develop section, and not all of them are like you say, even some roms come with another launcher instead the SE homescreen

I was looking in a few other threads with screenshots and other examples and saw that many people had customized the line just below the Start button and just above the flip clock to say various things they wanted.
Mine just currently says 3G T-Mobile.
I apologize for such a newbie question, but how do you customize that? Can you customize it with a custom ROM? I'm on Elegancia 2.5 if that matters.
Thanks!
Never mind I'm an idiot
For those that come in here and want to know the same thing the app is the CHTEditor and comes on the ROM I already had
Yeah make sure you have the latest version of Cookie 1.7, even more customizations to be made.
Hey, just resently recieved my new Samsung Galaxy S. Running stock UI, 2.1, Unrooted ect.
I don't really understand the benefits of rooting my phone so i'm not going to bother with that..
Just wondering if anyone has an tips for customizing my phone a bit more?
I've heard about this ADWlauncher.. So I installed it and a ADW Sense theme, but my phone hasn't changed/I dont know how to activate the theme..
+ Can anyone help me with these annoying things aswell..
1. Recieve push Facebook notifications under the notifications bar at the top?
Bloo doesn't work for me and Offical Facebook doesn't support this.
2. SMS notifications, can you remove notification when you view the message? Because at the moment, you have to press back to go to the Message Inbox then press back again to remove the notification and return to what you were doing..
3. The black background on Applications Screen, the background on SMS convosations, can you change this to a wallpaper somehow? It's annoying when it's black..
4. Can you change the dock somehow to a nicer looking one? HTC Hero has a nice dock
Thanks for everyone who posts your genius reponces, helping a newbie out
ADW Sense theme is a theme for ADW Launcher, so you must have ADW launcher installed. ADW replaces the default touchwhiz homescreen/launcher. The other option is launcher pro. Both allow you to customise the dock.
Check out my list of apps to get you started

reminder
if you want to keep using KIES you will need to switch back the phone default TwLauncher
get the utility called Home Switcher

i am running dj_steves 1.5.1 and i was wondering about the following:
Is it possible:
to have the old feature from 1.6 when you press on the battery icon it gives you several toggles?
to get rid of the dropdown status bar (it is really annoying)
not make the icons adjust to the "snap" placement on the screen?
also is it possible to add more icons to the screen than the standard?

The answer for the first question (Black bar across top with drop down bar) is no. The framework has been changed in froyo so without the source code for dell's homescreen UI in 1.6 and 2.1, it can't be ported.
To add more icons to the screen, you're gonna have to use a different home screen launcher. With Dj_Steve's StreakDroid, ADW.Launcher and Launcher Pro are pre-installed.
I use ADW.Launcher and highly recommend it, you just need 30-45 min to sit down and go through all the settings to get it to how you want it.
To switch your default home screen, easiest way is to download "Home Switcher for Froyo" from the market.

Does anyone know if the launcher or "dock" is customizable in the Liberty Rom? I'm getting kinda tired of Launcherpro as I've been using it for 6 months now... The widgets don't seem to function like they use to for some reason, not updating like they should be, etc. I'm trying to find out if I can change the shortcuts and icons on the dock or add screens, since there are only 5... Any help would be great. Thanks.
Do you mean lack of updates with launcherpro? That is because fede(dev) is doing a complete rewrite of launcherpro so that's why there hasn't been alot of updates.. if you're tired of launcherpro why don't you change some icons around and such? i haven't really tried any other launcher.. but I've read that launcherpro is one of the few that allows customizing every aspect of it...hope i don't sound like a dbag if you already know all this

Yeah, I knew all that, no big deal. lol. funny thing is, maybe i'm trying to be a little more simple. I think I've used every icon, color, option possible for LP+ and I'm just a little tired of it. GO Launcher is basically the same thing just more screens. Don't like ADW. that leaves the basic launcher. Like I said, the widgets just don't seem to be acting right on LP lately. Not updating properly even when I try to do it manually. So trying to customize the stock Liberty launcher/dock is my last option right now. Maybe if fede's rewrite is updated alot, I'll go back to it.
I've tried the other major players like Adw and GoLauncher, but I always end up coming back to LP mainly for the widgets. IMO, they are the best available on the market for my needs, especially the facebook and calendar widgets. Aside from that, LP seems to be the fastest because Fede kept everything simple and clean looking instead of loading it up with hidden dock bars and window transitions (I know, he added some with the last update). If you're really looking to spice it up some, check out Dreamlyfe for some nice docks and icon sets.

Seriously this is just absurd. How do I get the stock Nougat icons back? I'm running a Nougat Rom so I don't know why they are even here.
Been searching the web for 2 hours now with no hope so far.
the icons are set by the launcher just open ur launcher settings and assign a different icon pack

Right, I'm asking how does one get Stock Nougat back? The "System Default" still has some of the dumb round ones. I've been looking for a Stock Nougat one but it doesn't seem to exist.
First of, wrong forum , this belongs more to the question / discussion forum , even thought i dont know if someone can help you with this because this are the stock icons you are talking about.
So reported this thread.
