Hey folks, I'm pretty new to this whole world, but I've been learning.
Sorry if this has been addressed already, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
Is it technically possible to alter the look of the google search application? I love having it on my home screen, but the google logo kinda spoils the aesthetic imo.
Thanks in advance.
yeh, il see what i can do later, im headin out now but it should be possible
is this the same widget that your talking about?

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
cuz there is an htc search widget... just doesnt have the voice typing button
hmm, so i went to erase the logo.. but when my phone came on it was still there.. but i erased it... it didnt make sense so i finally went to the android home instead of sense.. and apparently i deleted the google logo, only when the google search widget is used on the android home...
this doesnt make sense.. why would htc not use the same files? nnot only did they make a new search...they also copied the google search lol
soo.. i guess i have to ask what rom your using?
Wait.. You can theme the Hero?!
Thanks for your replies so far.
That is indeed the widget I'd like changed, and I'm using MCR 3.0.
The thing I actually love about it is the voice search feature, having it on the home screen makes quick searches really convenient.
The HTC search widget looks awesome, exactly the kind of thing I'd prefer having
Cool themes btw.
alright il see if i can erase the google logo, and colour the bckground blackish (or il try and match sense)
You know that if you tap the hardware search button you can type your query, but if you hold it you launch search by voice..
I find that this removes my need for the widget.
Wow, G8D I didn't realise that, that's pretty cool, thanks!
It's still been interesting poking about, learning some stuff, but that solution looks good for now
ok well heres the widget, with the logo takin out, same colour as usual tho... if you want it changed i can probably do that too.
oh but if you have a theme, i think this file will over right the bottom sense buttons( add, all prgrams, phone) like so they will look like normal after this...
basically this will work if you dont have a theme or if you only have a theme where the notification bar is changed

Hi guys,
I was going to post this in general, but as it is possible development I thought it may best be suited here. Sorry if it isn't!!
Anyway, I'm no developer so I don't know if this is even possible, hence why I thought I'd throw it out there.
What I was thinking is, as a user of the flip clock and also using Stericson lock screen, I have the time in full view of my home screen / lock screen all the time.
The fact it is in the top right corner is of no use to me really. It's also apparent that when you have several icons in the notification bar (especially when plugged in on USB) it gets crowded and tends to hide alot of them.
What is the feasibilty of removing / hiding the clock from the notification bar, and moving the 3g/wifi/bt/battery icons into the right hand corner?
Would this actually be possible? I know this wouldn't suit all users but some people may like this as it would give more space for other icons to appear there.
Any Devs care to elaborate on this?
Thanks.
If you wanted to hide the time, you could just make it transparent using Ohsaka's colorChange.jar. Of course, that wouldn't help with the crowded icons.
I like the time in the right corner, useful for when I'm browsing the web on a break from work.
Or try alternative home app: Home++

}
Sadly this has been asked quite a few times, problem is they wont answer even though people want it.
I guess for now home++ is a good alternative - though I do like using advanced launcher, so removing it properly from the notification bar would be better.
I guess it's just one of them things - although an official yes or no it can't be done would be nice from a dev?!
Thanks.

which on are you using ?
I originally made this for by TP2 bretheren, but it should work on the Imagio as well (will know for sure on Monday, unless somebody wants to test for me before then).
Hit up the TP2 / TF3D section of my website (link in signature)
Im running the biohazard on my imagio and the color settings i love em. thanks
Cool... Glad you like em
Thanks i have been looking for something like this. Got the checkered flag and the better looking sense icons!!
exellent
on my imagio the tab icon appear to be slightly smaller than slider icons
used sense_for_tf3d cab
Works Great on Imagio
Good work!!!!

Can you provide a screenshot of this?
still getting a screen shot
only noticeable with clear tab not any of the colored or themed tabs
just when tab icon overlaps slider icon
still getting a screen shot
I had somebody else mention that on the Imagio as well..
Lemme play with one and see what I can find out
Just to be clear.. you are trying to to use the SenseUI for TF3D package that I made?
what is happening? I used this on my imagio and it worked like a charm check it out...

I was just thinking that if i get time i might clean the icons up to show up more crisp on our screens
Go for it...
and as far as the overlap.. I don't know what to say.
I tried this out on a stock Imagio here at work and could not duplicate the problem
If you are talking about the overlap in my pic dont worry about it. I took a screen shot while i was holding down the slider. That is not how it normally looks. And i tried editing but i used package creator to open the .cab and all i can edit is the RGU and the DSM. Ill keep trying
OH!
I thought that was the problem you were having with it...
Then what is the problem you first mentioned?
I didnt have a problem that was shaba10k. But i just wanted to clean up the edges a little of the icons. If you look at my screenshot they look like they still have some white around them. Or it just formatted the colors incorrectly when they were saved.
The slider icons worked great on my Imagio. I've seen screen shots of color icons for the Call History and Calendar items on the homescreen as well. Do you make a cab for this? Or does anyone know where I could find one?
The call history icons are around on the forums somewhere. I did not make them.

looks good
shame about the lg interface tho, it looked quite good
dialer looks simple, what about the on-screen keyboard? ...thanks again jerpelea
Will try to check this out later this evening.
Have to flash a new ROM Anyways...ive been goin a few days already with this one
Thanx for the work btw!
I'm not familiar with the ExPo, but does it skin over the WM Messaging or use the standard WM messaging application? The reason I ask is that it appears that the dialer has been skinned and is not the standard WM 6.5 dialer. Or am I wrong about that?
The dialer is awesome but other then that there is really no other skin asides from various small icons.
But wow is this rom responsive to your figure and how fast windows open and close. No lag what so ever other than when going to landscape. Loaded with a ton of programs (some are AT&T ones) but must either don't work or need validation.
Thanks for letting us try this out jerpelea
eval
Tried it, liked it.
But like u said, a lot of apps dont work, (which i personally would like to try out...especially the IM app)
When i clicked on "Contact" on the dialer, it wasnt opening my Contacts though..
Couldnt get it to connect to my Network (Telfort [Netherlands])// The connection wizard was missing
No taskmanager (i didnt had time to install one either)
Quite responsive,
Seems like some nice apps
Thas about it so far, had to flash back to another ROM for the day. Will try your rom again when its updated
I like it ~ thanks ...
but,i can not open the link in china...

thankssssss, very nice
Hey jerpelea,
the thing I like about the LG most is the multi task screen (not the original task manager, but I think you know what I mean).
Is that one able to get installed on an xperia x1? Would be nice to hav such a .cab to install!
cheers,
Kon
is it possible to share the dialer package ?? ...thnx
awesome man, you are really the one...
Mirror on multiupload:

nice keyboard ...it is great if someone expert can cabbed that out from the rom
Good man~ "kremlincrackers"~tks
Have any of you guys used this NetFront Life launcher. I just downloaded it and it is pretty cool. You just have to figure out how to move the apps off the ring and place them. I got it figured out. If you need help.
The exact name from the market is NetFront Life Screen

No launcher shows in the market. Please post a link to see what the launcher is. Or take screen shots.
Sorry I am considered new and i can't post links in the forum. I will get the exact name. I am in the middle of a flash right now.
Ok the OP is edited with the name
NetFront Life Screen.
Google it for pictures.
I actually did see this a while back, but I constantly kept getting "app not found" errors. I even found it on app brain and using the QR code still didn't work. Found other apps by net life and looked at the developer page for more apps, and it didn't show up there either. I just searched again though and indeed, there it is. So if you can't find it, it's likely because of your market fingerprint.
I'm currently running Cognition 3.04 with the Market 2.3.2 (recently updated woo) and I can install it.
I downloaded this launcher and gave it a test run. All I can say is that it is not ready to be used daily as my default launcher. It's a cool concept, but can lag at times, and is a bit annoying when trying to cycle through apps in a hurry.
Its definitely an interesting concept but needs more options to customize it. For example, the space for the widget is a pre-set size....and you can't change the icons. Noticed it used around 45mb too

just grab the top half or so and scroll to the left page and there's a cube for apps. the only time I see this thing really lag is when going from the right page to the left page.
Just now tried. really looks good. But donno how to go to menu
I used to have this launcher, but I got rid of it because it became slow and it forced closed all the time.
Def a cool launcher, but I can't see myself using this as my default launcher. Maybe after some updates this thing will really take off
its a nice concepts but eats a lot of memory...lags a lot....
I like the UI but need more update for lag issue.
Sorry, I wasn't real sure where to put this. The screen shot pretty much says it all.
I'm using the theme here, for MIUI, yet this happens on all the popular dark themes I've tried. It's very hard to see the gray text containing address info against the gray background with the popup results menu in Google Navigation.
Is there an easy fix for this? Thanks.

I've always had the same problem. Never found a solution except to use light themes.

LOL??? thanks for pointing this out.. i just spotted this in my theme and totally missed it.. so im going to work on this right away!!
Certainly, it's like this on a lot of themes, even the default on.
I know it's part of the framework, but I don't know what specifically needs to edited to change this without affecting the rest of the theme.
Have you tried this:
(I'm using a French rom, so all the terms I'm going to use may be not the good ones in English..)
Go to Settings, Applications Manager, search and tap on Google Navigation in your apps list, then de-activate Compatibility Mode.. It worked for me with some unreadable white on white texts..
If it doesn't work (sorry about it, first.. ), just re-activate Compatibility Mode (just in case)
