I have been wanting to change out these icons and the background (color) of this menu but am not sure where each image (including background) is located. If anyone could provide me any info and point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Sense 1.0 - 2.1 are in Rosie.apk, res/drawable-hdpi
Sense 3.0+ may be the same but no promises, m10 files are pretty goofy.
I know there are other threads here about this. I remember seeing them about a year ago. I'm sure you can find more info on this.

Okay so like yeaah. This may sound stupid but here's what I'm thinking. Because there are so many UI's like the Blur from Motorola. Sense from HTC. Blaah blah blah, why not make a custom one. We can make it based off of what the people want. Honestly, I like Blur (Don't laugh at me!) So why not try to get t how we like it. I know everybody's going to want something different, but why not try? We can try to take different parts of different UIs, and put them together and make our own. I know it's lame and all, but think about it. Don't keep reading... pause for 5 seconds. Okay now think about it and stop reading. We can even make this UI use-able for Vanilla Android 2.1 and 1.6 (and even people on 1.5 [hahahaa]). And hey, maybe it'll be so good that the Swagger Jacker Windows Mobile users can Swagger Jack it from us. So what do you say, wanna give it a shot?
where do we start? im interested
Idk. I posted here to see if anyone who knew who to do it was interested and wanted to help. I think we should start Googling.
lol.. trolling is fun
Fosho it is =] I'm trollin on 22's.
But lets be honest, a custom UI like MotoBlur is just like a theme. You just falsh it over something and make it look different and add-on some more widgets and etc... Motoblur is just 1.6 with a custom UI. Not saying that I like it, but it's okay and I mean, what's different from MotoBlur and Android 1.5? Notification Bar, Widgets, More tabs on the bottom, different clock, and more Social Networing connections. How hard would that be to make. We already have our own Widgets. Fasttest I think was the first to make the amazing looking clock that is now used in SuperCSDIv4 Rex3MixCSDI has a Black Notification Bar. We can make some custom Icons. We could Theme ADW_Launcher and give the bottom two buttons some use like how on Sense, you can go to;
All Apps-Phone-Add Widgets
and on MotoBlur, you have;
Phone-All Apps- Contacts
Why not make our own. Give it some customization. Take some random peoples requests. All these UIs and stuff, their all (I think I'm almos 100% correct on this, think about it) Home Replacements. Like BetterCut, DxTop, Home++. They all chang everything and give you more widgets. With MotoBlur and Sense you get new Boot Screens. We can do that. Make everything look cool. We been doing that. Why not make it. Post it on Google.Code. Be everywhere. Everyone will be talking about us and how cool we are. Port it to all the cool devices. Other then a few apps and Modifications, Custom UIs are just Themes. Like Enoch, JesterDroid, etc...
I may not know too much about coding and things like that, but I have more than enough experience with graphics and such. I'm all for this idea so if you need any help designing or just ideas you can pm me or add me on gtalk: [email protected]
Yeaaah, that's what I was waiting for. I thought about the same thing not too long ago. My opinion is, that for maybe the biggest android community it shouldn't be a problem. So good luck
I'm interested in seeing what could be made up. There are a lot of great features from all of the different themes out there, and piecing them together could be awesome if done right. I think a design should be aimed at before you have a million people all willy-nilly trying to make them. We should design, then build, then post a how to, that way the rest of the community can make their own based off of a common idea.
Now can we get anyone up in here who know how to make widgets? WE NEED WIDGETS UP IN HERE!

Maybe you could ask Koxx he creates, very good widgets, with great functionality.
Thanks I'll PM him right away. This is going so well!
So any advancement in this?
I PM'd koxx, but he didn't say anything back yet. I'll wait. Until then, anyone know how to add the little tabs on the bottom, like how MotoBlur has Dialer/All Apps/Contacts, what do you guys think we should make it. Gimmie some opinions.
Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
ok kl. Im not sure on how to add buttons. maybe look at one of the launcher2 modifications where buttons were added.

That's a really good idea, I could ask one of those Devs. Do you know who made it? That's a really good idea I love you guy. As a bro.
Okay. Here are some links to some threads with customized buttons. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683 <-- link to helix launcher and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630659&highlight=doc <-- link to launcher with buttons.
We'll be using the Launcher with Buttons. It's better becuase we can use only two buttons instead of 5. All we need to do is replace the Left and Right tabs, and make the Middle tab a different image so that the Launcher looks better. I think for the All Application Drawer, we could use the 2.1 rectangle. We could make it go like a straight line like the Espresso Launcher, but without the curved corners, ours is going to get all the way to the end of the screen. We could... give me some more ideas on what to put on the left and right tabs, what do you use most. For me it's Messaging and Brower.
Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
i think the left tab should be contacts, middle all apps, and right should be direct message. just like on GDE.

Taken into consideration, post will be saved for future refrence. Here's the thing, this is a CUSTOM UI. We are not trying to copy any ideas. But yeah I do text a lot so that'll probably be one of them. In fact, I contacted one of the people who makes Custom Launchers and asked him if he could make his a little different then it already s, so that people could choose what they want where. This is a Custom UI by the people, for the people.
Re: [THINK TANK] Custom UI *BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE*
okay good. now we need to come up with a theme and a list of neccessary widgets needed.

Is there a FAQ here or elsewhere explaining to this NOOB what Rosie is, and Espresso, and Nexus launcher etc etc etc?
I'm searching for themes and I see these terms tossed around but I'm a little lost. A pictogram would be nice
Thx.
Ask away here and I'll tell you.
Rosie = Sense GUI on the Hero.
Espresso = A newer version of Sense. All we have for the Hero right now is a theme that skins Rosie to look like Espresso.
Nexus Launcher = The cool-looking launcher that is on the Nexus One.

Ok so there's a neat looking curved bottom menu is that standard Rosie? The ones that are now just a bar with pluses to the left and right and the phone in the center is Espresso. Do I have it right? The leaked 2.1 sprint ROM has which Gui?
the leaked rom has a stock rosie.
treve has a couple of metamorphs that will allow you to easily change back and forth. I built a faded/translucent stock rosie for myself. It's all about making it your own.
Thanks I got it now
Thanks to all the DEVS on here i appreciate your time and talent, and i would donate to every one of you guys but im not the richest person in the world. I do have a request if it's possible, here goes. I do have a brand new mt4g 3 days old now because of the screen and constant apps crash from my other. Since i downloaded a couple apps from the market and made it much more USER GUI custom rather than roms, because i have found to fail in this department with finding anything that i like (i'm picky, sorry devs, you do make great roms though ).
Attached is my home screen and i was wondering if anyone could make a simple mod (rom) to make the icon boxes transparent? Just show the icons? and remove the clock? I only ask this because I have the clock with beautiful widgets and did download another app for the power widgets. Or is there a simple setting i could mod in terminal? I appreciate it a bunch for anyone that could do this for me thanks a ton and....... (LONG LIVE XDA DEVS AND SUPPORTERS!!!)
I don't know about the clock, but ADW Ex will take care of the icon thing for you.
is that on market or can i get it here?
nvm i found it thanks again!
Launcher Pro as well...
I've been using it since I first got my nexus one and it's fantastic! The developer just added some nice new home screen transitions as well. Very customizable.

I was wondering if someone with a bit more experience could help me out? This may not be possible till source is out but hey no hurt in trying. If so when source is available then I will know where the files I need are located.
Here's what I found in my research so far...
I see a keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml and keyguard_screen_tab_unlock_land.xml that are used in framework-res.apk as well as the 4 holo drawable's.
Then I found the WaveView.smali files in framework.jar widget folder.
Also in android.policy.jar impl folder is LockScreen$WaveViewMethods.smali.
Here is a link to the files I pulled out - http://bit.ly/fJpF6V
Any help would be awesome, again I have no clue if this is possible?
If the Honeycomb lockscreen could be ported to phones it would be genuinely amazing!

Good luck guys, i'd love to see this finished
But, wouldn't it just be far easier to re-create it rather than to port it?
Hope you get this working, I would love to use the Honycomb lockscreen =D

I suppose we will be able to get it after the source code or files or even the Xoom come out maybe

OMG YES!!! cuz im actually not liking the current "honeycomb wannabe lockscreen" thats out
Guys well I have started to port some of the installable themes for Sense 2.1 from the higher end phones (HDPI), but all I have done is resized them. I need help building the actual installable app for the theme. If any of you have some extra time to guide me through the procces or build the app, I would gladly give you the resized images
