I like the Facebook layout, so why not make a theme from it? This was first on MIUI-Dev, but with all the sh*t going on there, I decided to plant it here
(click to see bigger image)
What do you guys think? This is all still in Photoshop. There's still alot of work to do to finish this.
I'm planning to theme as much as possible (SMS/MMS, Dialer, Contacts, etc). But I will finish it up first in PS and then release the whole theme.
What has changed:
- New icon style (like the blue buttons in the popup in Facebook)
- Stricter colortype. Exactly the same colors as used in Facebook, except for the opened folder background, because of the white text
- A clean and clear notification dropdown, where background of notifications is 80% transparent
- Clear blue active action icons, grey and beveled in when not active
- in MMS/SMS a beveled in button with colored icon when that one is active, no beveled in and lightblue border for icons that are not active
Very cool
Cant wait to test drive it very cool concept dont give up
Awesome man, does dev's over at miui treat people like ****. the way he talks he must be one big dork.
Saw this one over at miui-devs yeah, looks promising...I would most certainly give this one a try
Still can't wait for this theme. Looks so sick. I really appreciate how complete you're making it and theming everything.

looking great! i just hope the theme turns out as full as it can be, and as consistent with facebook's design as possible. and also id prefer no themed icons only icon backgrounds because it annoys me when some icons i use are themed and some are not and it does not look good with half themed and half unthemed icons on my home screen, just icon backgrounds is great.

I was thinking of that too. When the theme is finished, I will release 2 packs: one with themed icons, other without. I will also provide a psd for people who want to create their own icons, and I will do weekly updates with those new icons in the theme.

looks great. can't wait!
Looks great dude, can't wait to try it.
Thanks everyone for the interest in this theme. The design for this theme has been slowed down due to me being sick and stuff. The last thing I themed whas the MMS/SMS layout. Been struggelin' with the colors alot. Also, I have no idea how I will make the foldericons look like... any thoughts from the community?
Firstly I think this theme looks flipping great. My opinion on the folder look would be to keep it true to the Facebook theme. Have the folder have a white backing and if possible have the apps list in blue text along side a smaller icon like a friend list. Not even sure something like this is possible, that's just how I see it in my head! Then again there's alot of crazy crap in there.
Keep up the awesome work.

Thanks for your comment. It is not possible to alter the listing options of the folder icon. It's defaulted to 4 icons in the folder icon.

Hahah same question here. I've been checking this thread daily ha.
Sorry guys/girls, due to me being sick theming has been slowed down... when I feel better and I can focus again theming will go on
Next week I will hope to have a beta version up, where icons, foldericons, opened folder, notification bar/pulldown and mms/sms is themed.
hurry up plz im ****ting myself for this theme... no jk take your time to get it right. but asap would be nice, no pressure thooo... ))

I started using LauncherPro and it's like a whole new tablet (I heard ADW works, too). Some things that I love about it (I hold in Landscape always). See screenshot to see what I mean
http://i.imgur.com/kTuHF.jpg
-Full use of screen real estate (I have set to 10 x10 grid). I can now have icons all the way to the edges and top/bottom of screen. No more enforced white space
-Widgets
- First, LauncherPro widgets...I prefer the list view of Bookmarks
- Resizable widgets - an absolute necessity imho. Can even resize things like original bookmark widget, gmail, etc.
- Method of adding - I love the vertical list view of what I'm adding vs. having to scroll horizontally through pages and pages of widgets.
-Dock - I love having my 5 favorite apps on the right side of screen. It feels natural holding the device and choosing with thumb. Still have top/right link to open App Drawer (Wonder if ADW allows for more than 5 icons in your dock)
-Folders - why isn't there folders capabilities in Honeycomb?
-Screen Preview - Being able to click home and see all 5 (or even 7) screens and quickly jump
How did you install launcher pro on it? I would also like to use this.
Thought he was still rewriting it. ?

I own LauncherPro but was hesitant on loading it on Honeycomb. You layout looks real nice. Have you had any force closures?
Downloaded from his website and side loaded it. Here is the link to the latest version which I used.

Also go to Settings > Applications > and check "Unknown Sources" to install.

Just loaded it on this morning and started fiddling with the layout, but so far no force closes.

Thank you for this! It's been driving me nuts trying to figure out how to use the whole damn screen!! It was those two settings!! Now my screen looks and feels great!!

I'm just curious why other developers haven't picked up on this seemingly game changing feature. The 4x5 Desktop Mod. I feel spoiled.
I was messing around, installing ROMs over the weekend (just doing a monthly shuffle to see what's out there) and I came back to Gingeritis solely because of the 4x5 Desktop Workspace mod. There really is SO much good work being done right now, it's insane and there were a lot of features/themes I really liked on other ROMs. In the end though, it was just too tough to go back to the 4x4 desktop.
I'm asking from a 100% laymans standpoint... is this a difficult thing to incorporate into a ROM? Has it been done before and people didn't like it? I'm just curious to hear what you guys think...
The extra space for me is great on two accounts... the most obvious... the extra space. The less obvious is that it allows me to space out my icons with a little bit more style revealing more of my wallpaper. OCD, maybe. But awesome none-the-less.

I don't run Gingeritis so what exactly is this "4x5 Desktop Mod" because solely from the name it sounds like a feature launchers have had for a while which provides the ability to change the rowXcolumn dimensions of the homescreens.
Maybe that isn't it and feel free to correct me as I'm actually curious what this feature is that users love so if it isn't that aspect.

Makes a lot of sense actually. I loved your ROM btw. Anytime I run through 4 or 5 Roms in a weekend I always am shocked at just how good all our developers are. Keep it up... if you get something going with the 4x5 desktop I'd be the first in line to install and test-drive it!!

Hmm, ok, I was just wondering why people stay on a certain rom for it if launchers like ADW and LP have done it for a long time. There must be something else I'm missing.

It's exactly what it sounds like and I believe you are understanding properly.
It formats the desktop workspace to be 4 columns and 5 rows. Just adds an extra row to your standard desktop.

I used to use ADW on my OG Droid. I've really enjoyed Sense so I haven't switched back over.
I don't believe I can use the Sense widgets (people, weather, etc) if I'm using ADW which is why I've stuck with my Rom of choice.
Wowowow... This thread is locked and I'll sort through it once I get home. Jeez people, play nice for a change.
If you install these apps and follow the tutorials, the note transforms into a future proof tablet

Nice job as always.
Is there any themes out there that changes the default icons for Phone, Contacts and Whatsapp? Those are the only 3 icons that are ruining the look for me right now. Using ADW EX.
The answer is yes

Yep sure, just download ADW EX theme packs (I use ADW elegant)
After doing this just simply:
-Long press your icon.
-Click edit.
-Select ADW theme packs and pick ADW elegant *or your choice
-Select your new icon.
-Done.
There's a section of this in my 3D UI tutorial vid.. Hope that helps!

What theme are you using for the one more clock ?
Looks Fantastic, is there a way to make it work in some fashion when in portrait mode. Thanks for sharing... has given me a bunch of ideas in terms of customization.
In terms of battery how much of a difference do you find over touchwiz, i had done this with my galaxy s2 previously using goEX and ADW but found the battery to be 15% less on average, using the same widgets etc. Is that old news now and do any of these widgets have any noticeable drain, as it does look fantastic.
you wouldn't mind sharing all those wallpapers, would you?
Nice video. The suggested apps should certainly augment to make the ULTIMATE NOTE even more interesting...
I froze the original launcher. Is there a way to make the interface look a certain way in landscape (like your interface) and a totally different look and interface in portrait mode? Would I have to keep two launchers active in order to achieve this and swap launchers depending on if I want to be in landscape or portrait? I think having two active launchers would slow the note down if thats what I had to do...
You showed SVOX in this vid. Did you ever try Ivona? It certainly needs more space but IMO it's way better.
How did you get the background To change as you flipped through the home pages?

After watching your clips, I go wild installing live wallies here and there. Not too fond of the aquatic wallpapers though PP, and I notice you may not have checked this one out (market.android.com/details?id=com.ramdroidstudios.livewallpaper.fireflies) which is far more playful and fun than staring at 'season zen' of that nature. I do love 'blue skies' a lot, thanks for recommending that!
Installed the A.I Keyboard and it's great. As a former WP7 user, I'm loving the theme and "click" sound from the WP7 keyboard. The keys are larger and I can type fast as well. Thanks!
Is it possible to have an AOSP rom (like CM), but with Smart Stay, IR, Air View, Air Gesture, Driving Mode, S Translate, and the DLNA/media player features? Or at the very least IR, Air View and the media stuff? (I have a Samsung TV)
Most likely no....here's like a .01% chance any of that stuff is gonna work on aosp

Well, then, what about a ROM with all TW features, but AOSP apps, menus, statusbar and lockscreen? And maybe even Settings app?

I'm coming from an iPhone and don't know much about Android, so I'm wondering if it's easy to just have basic homescreens with a grid of app icons like the iPhone. Looking at Android, I always see a homescreen with a giant clock and weather info. I don't want all that stuff taking up space when the time is already shown in the statusbar, and I usually only need to the check the weather once or twice a day.

That the main aspect of android. Being able to custimize everything. There are a few launchers that look like the iPhone but other then that you will be hard pressed as android devs tend to avoid the iPhone look. There are a few china based things that mimic the iPhone. What you see if just what people have on it. Like I use a small clock and small weather as I remove the clock in the status bar.

This post is misleading. ALL launchers have the ability to look like an iPhone. Just delete all widgets and put only app shortcuts on homescreen. No idea why somebody would want to do that, but a simple task if you do.

Those huge clocks and such are Widgets which, more than anything, are what set Android apart iOS. But, since Android is about choice, yes, you can set up your screen with a grid of app icons just like an iPhone.

Look, I know you're coming from the digital prison that is iOS, but you're free now. If you don't want the widgets, delete the widgets. If you want shortcuts for your favorite apps on your homescreens, put shortcuts for your favorite apps on your homescreens. Remember, all your apps are right in your app drawer whenever you need them...

You won't get the exact app to work on aosp but you can have third party software to work in the similar way. Example would be the spen from Galaxy Note series.
As long as the various drivers are available and working in aosp, you can make use of the functions with the help of 3rd party apps. I'm sure many developers are already working on this right now ask we speak because this is a highly popular device.
