Will we ever be able to customize like the iphone?

I never owned one but I have played with Iphones. They are nice and I love the fact that you can customize app draw name, service provider name, custom sliders, i even seen a Knicks symbol as the signal bar, make ur own icons in the status bar... ( my friend has The Dharma Initiative sybol )lol
I always try to out shine them boys and Im on forums and they post a screen shot and Im blown away. I absolutely love my N1.Overall I thin its better, But do you think we will ever be able to do this with android?

Are you new to Android? Android is 100x much more customizable than the iPhone. Welcome to the forums btw.

ya this is my first android and I heard about how its more customizable, but how can we do the above? I have yet to see a screen shot that has it..
and thank u for the welcoming as I expect ether in this thread...lol

There are two ways to customize.
1 - Download a Home replacement app from the Market (GDE, OpenHome, etc...)
And then download the custom themes and just apply them.
2- (the fun one) root your phone and then just go here

and chose a theme you like and just flash it

Being an army veteran anyone would think you'd know these kinda things. Careful with your apple words 'round these parts.
Could you post some screenshots of these so-called customised iPhones? I'm interested.

Lmao apple words??? Im all about android my friend. As for the military part, u make absolutely no sense, almost disrespectful towards our service members. But thats here nor there... http://www.joebuddentv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68683

That's what you call customizable? That's what blew you away? It's the same-old icon grid after icon grid after icon grid like any stock iPhone, only with different icons and background. Do you see widgets? Do you see... oh I don't know, any average SweeterHome theme will let you do better than this tired-looking piece-of-**** UI. The iPhone may have its good points, but customizability is not one of them.
I hear US army training tends to beat intelligence out of people, but I didn't quite realize how badly.

Maybe you can hack your nexus one ..to make it like an iphone..so you can make it look like a nexus one !!

I came from an iPhone I made look like the hero home screen. It took foreeevver.
Android way easier to skin. Did you not even see the entire forum dedicated to themes with the FIRSt thread about posting screenshots?

i see that we have the capabilities to use animated wallpaper but our stock ones suck booty lol...is there any good ones out there cause i saw some that android uses and theres were pretty cool and im a loyal wm user soo we must compete lol...

agreed! anyone know of any good ones?

I dont but figured I'd bump the post up as I too am very interested

Interested in this also.

Another bump.... I searched previous threads and couldn't find anything useful...

there was a thread full of them but alot of them where just regular ugly wallpapers that people put then threw the animations from the stock ones on top. i wouldnt bother. wait till someone fixes android.

Hello all, I am new here but is there really no other real animated themes out there for win 6.5?

Apparently you can get some Live Wallpapers with Throttle Launcher. If that's something you are willing to do. I tried Throttle Launcher .8 and It was buggy and wouldnt work well. But it is just a suggestion.

i have seen a very cool feature on a friends galaxy S. a rotating wallpaper. when he switched screen by dragging behind was a wallpaper of earth which rotated with the screen.
that would be a really cool feature to put on the touch pro 2.
Cheers.

LOL^^. I was going to do this but i didnt want to be mean.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=black+wallpaper
Then click the images link in the top left.

hey theecho... that is hard, but thank god google took out step two with google instant...

Yea well anyone can use google. I was hoping you guys could show me good ones so I didn't have to search forever for a decent one.

I made one by putting my finger over the lens and taking a picture. Nice black background.

Glad everyone is so funny in this forum

We're just joking buddy. Is there a certain genre for which you are looking? I currently am just using a black carbon fiber background.

Nothing to particular. I'm just looking for a nice black background. Maybe a Droid background. I see a lot of good backgrounds in screen shots but have yet to find a good one to use. Thanks for any help.

do you have a certain one or a screenshot for reference? If so it would assist me with knowing what style you like. If you also have an idea for a wallpaper let me know and I can make it for you.

I wouldnt mind a all black wallpaper with a droid eye in the middle even. I like really cool/different looking black wallpapers. I downloaded the app Rare Black Wallpapers and it had some decent ones, but not quite what I'm looking for. I perfer the screen to be at least 70%+ black with some sort of graphic.

ill get one that is black with a droid eye. give me 20 minutes.

Cool bro, appreciate it

I was curious to see a "native theme" and to see if it asked for any Permissions when I went to install it.
It installed and I am able to select the theme and it even applied (pretty nice, even the icons are sans-backgrounds) but it's been showing as "Installing..." the entire time...

}
I did a Restart to see if that would kill the ongoing "Installing..." progress and that took care of it. I'll email the Developer and I figured I'd post my experience here, in case anyone ran into the same *issue.
It's a pretty slick looking theme, although the circuit board image is a bit too much for me. I like the clear icons and the Android-green throughout. I'll ditch the circuit board lock image, but it persists throughout (e.g. in the App Tray).
Some screen shots...
I'm one of the few that actually likes the mySense/TMO twist on Sense and while I've tried LP and ADW, I'm quite happy with stock. Standard issue just feels better sometimes.
I also realized some might not like the images posted inline, but I'm a fan of not having to click to open an image (unless it's got a thickbox wrapper).

I talked to the developer of this theme also (really nice guy)
He did an amazing job on it.
but the green is not my thing so i have been talking to him about how he was able to make it. (only one i have seen)
he said it has to be done by source so im looking into that.
i would love to start making themes for the my touch 4g.
i dont have the phone im just working on a port for the incredible and would like to make some themes for all the people using the port and would post them here also.

This is not about the HW, not about the SW but it's about the Transformer

First, sorry for my poor English. I study in Graphic Design and I'm gonna graduate. This is a part in my last project: series of ads. Of coz when I post this thread it means I chose the TF to work on.
The ASUS logo and all the names are copyrighted by ASUS, but the "Eee Pad Transformer" Logo is designed by me so if you like and want to use my design please let me know (I just want to know if there's S.O interested in my design)

That looks cool.
I like the design work. I'm a big fan for clean and uncluttered.
I hope you get a good grade!

Looking Nice !!!

Amazing work! I'd employ you.

I like it.
Simple
Clean
Efficient
and dare I say sexy

Nice! Only suggestion is would it look better with all the letters in lowercase?
So glad Asus didn't put their current "Eee" logo on the transformer other than on the box. I think that logo is just awful.

Thanks for your suggestion It depends on tastes. I like the lowercase choice better but my teachers won't.
And this is the Logo on the light and dark background. I'd like to have a case with this logo on it ^^

I might be a little interested in putting these in some wallpapers for the TF. Got a few ideas in mind for that but need to go a digging and see what I can do.

@OP
IMO of your logo...
The EeePad font has a "leafy" motif, which has a "nature" or "green" connotation. The Transformer font has a mechanistic Tron-like feel, which in tandem with the meaning of the word evokes a mechanized object. To me, the two clash. There's no harmony or synergy.
With any logo, you'd want to have a theme that you want associated with the brand, then shape your imagery to evoke that theme. I'm not sure what theme you are trying to put across.
Edit: BTW, chào bạn, from a Việt expat who originally hailed from Sài Gòn.

The styling doesn't shine clear to me.
I see something that's mean to invoke me, but it doesn't actually pull anything out of me.
Mind walking me through the design and it's intent?
I like the lowercase choice better but my teachers won't.

You're ready for the big leagues!
(lol, little graphic artist humor)

I like, too. I like the color choice, and the overall appearance.
