And you're done!
Cheers
Empex
Please donate my work if you like it. Thank you very much!

Must agree, the Diamond thing has gone into massive overkill mode. It's good to see other ideas coming to the fore.
Sphere looks good. Are you planning to make it available in other colour schemes or skinable?
WB

I'm not using the HTC Home Plugin, but I find the design and concept 5 stars
Good work

Will you please post a screen shot image

any photos or examples maybe?..

Interesting idea!
BTW, I made you a cab with your files. I take no credit nor do I accept any blame
As an aside, make sure you have a backup of your png files as uninstalling this will not restore them, you have been warned!

Ooohh this is nice! been looking for a new look for my HTC home. will give it a shot empex.

There's an screenshot there.... may be you're having problems with imageshack.us...
Great work empex!! Although I think you should make sphere's a little bit darker... seem's there's little contrast with the main icons...

Screenshot man screenshot.. This sounds cool

VERY NICE!
If I could make one suggestion...
Could you make the images inside the sphere icons color? They are a little hard to make out but the design and concept is very cool!

HHC shin?
Instead of copy and paste into \windows why not create a set of skins for the HTC Home Customizer (emunutz http://www.pocketemu.com/news.html) Also there isn't a screen shot. Try attaching the screen shot as an attachment.

HTC Home tab and notification icons got a bit hard to 'read' but overall it's nice.

Screenshots...
Here are some screenshots to use
Awesome theme as always empex, keep up the great work

Superb use of the sphere, and with varying sizes. Very 3D-ish...!!
Excellent piece of theme.

Great Work Thank You
Been working on a Ghost Rider Theme this fits just perfect Thank You.
Awesome

If there was a screen shot to wet my task buds with. I would be happy to try it out.

That gives me an idea If and when the 3D drivers are fully functional, someone could write a today plugin with spheres lined up in a circle which you can rotate by sliding and every sphere stands for a tab or whatever and makes the icons available. I bet this could be done in 2D as well, but probably as slow as ThottleLauncher (no offense).
*cheers*

Thank (insrt your deity of choice here) that someone has decided to go against the Diamond theme. Personally, I don't find the Diamond theme all that appealing, and between all the requests and builds for Diamond-like and iPhone-like things, I wanna vomit sometimes.
Nice look empex, even though, as someone else mentioned, the spheres are on the smaller side (not a big deal at all).

High Mutha F'n 5!
Im So Sick Of The Diamond Obsessions!

Awesome! Thanks!

New HTC Home Icons, Clock and TSK

Hi All,
Been kinda scarce around here lately, since I was checking in today to see what's happening i thought I would share some stuff I put together. The tsk is based off a wallpaper I found at deviant art I think it was from Ken Saunders from mouserunner, The images in the icons i just picked up off the web and tweaked them to suit my needs.
I know everybody is going to manilla 2d but personally I'm going to wait till all the bugs are worked out by the genius's around here before i switch.
Enjoy

What's the name of the program that's at the very bottom of your phone. I like it. It looks like a continuation of the HTC home plugin.
Do you know if you can customize those shortcuts or anything of the sort?

its battery status (now home screen plus plus ), and yes you can pretty much do anything with it if you can set up an xml file.

can these be loaded with HHC (HTC Home Customizer)?

sure, just drop the file in the correct folders in program files, htc home customizer, and then choose whatever you would like.

OK, thanks.
btw i get an app execution error about a missing file from HHV V1.0Final so I will have to revert to 0.8 i guess

hmmm, I have v1.0 and it seems to work just fine on my device, I actually copied the files right off my phone , zipped em up and posted , let me know if there is anymore trouble.

great stuff, thanks
could you remind me of the name of the lower icon bar today plugin ?
thanks,

battery status/ homee screen plus plus, your welcome im glad you like it

call me an idiot but how do i install these...i found the current files and tried to copy paste and overwrite them but obviously they're currently in use so it says access denied

use htc home customizer, I tried to upload it but somethings not working, you'll find it if you do a search.Install it then find the files folder in the program and drop the icons in the icon folder, you can then open up hhc and choose the icons. Hope that helps

Splash Screen Repository

There was a thread like this in the Kaiser Forum so I thought there should be one in the Raphael Forum as well. I'll start it off with a couple. I look forward to seeing the different ideas everyone comes up with.
To download the ones that I have attached, just click on the pic.
To change your splash's use the information provided in THIS thread. Everything you need to create your own is there.
Now, the first three came from the Xperia. The 4th one is an O2 splash screen.

Once again, just click the pic to get the download link.
Another O2 Splash screen from the Kaiser days.
These are linked to one file which includes the splash, welcomehead and the wallpaper. Shown in boot order.

Once again, just click the pic to get the download link.

just one more

I'm gonna take one too for later

and maybe a second, just in case

Heres my custom vegas splash and the stock O2 splash

@ everyone.
Please feel free to request custom splash screens and I will do my dead level best to get them done as soon as possible.

Ill make a requiest.
I think it would be COOL to see a "fluid boot" with some CIA stuff. Like a CIA logo and then it scroll some test saying something to the effect of linking a secure connection. I know this was started in the kaiser section A LONG time ago but to my knowledge it was never finished.

Let me see what I can come up with. Are you saying kinda like the one I linked above with the guns? 1st screen being the logo and the welcomehead being the logo with text?
Gimme a min and lemme see what I can do.

Cool thanks man.

I second that motion...
CIA "like" logo then some kind of like DOS screen stating "Attempting SECURE connection..must not be located in a SCIF for proper connection..." I dont know something like that would be cool...

Shown in boot order. Download the file, unzip and copy the welcomhead.192 to your \Windows folder, then rename the .nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh and copy to SD card and then enter bootloader and allow to flash. Once completed, your all done. Hope this is what your looking for.
And just so you know.............
Inhabitants of the United States should consider the following then using this image:
CIA Act of 1949 (50 U.S.C. section 403m):
No person may, except with the written permission of the Director, knowingly use the words “Central Intelligence Agency”, the initials “CIA”, the seal of the Central Intelligence Agency, or any colorable imitation of such words, initials, or seal in connection with any merchandise, impersonation, solicitation, or commercial activity in a manner reasonably calculated to convey the impression that such use is approved, endorsed, or authorized by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Sweet, Tater tot you are a stone cold

THANKS TATER! haha you went above and beyond.

Which splash screen(s) are these meant to replace?
The 1st carrier animation splash or the 2nd Windows Mobile spash?
It looks like the green Win Mob 6.1 since its a static image.
Does one just rename it to the correct name and copy it into \windows\?
Thanks

The .nbh replaces the 1st boot screen. The welocomehead.192.png replaces the 2nd splash screen.

Will the ones in the kaiser thread work on the Rapheal?
Sorry, still new to some of this.

No. Different screen size.
Kaiser = 240x320
Raphael = 480x640
However, you can extract the nbh content, resize the pics, patchsplash and then rebuild the .nbh.

[WM6.5][MOD] Light Themed HTC HD2 Mini Lockscreen (W)VGA v1.5

I just starting using NRG's GTX Themed ROM and I'm really liking it. However, I really like the HD2 MINI lockscreen a lot more than the standard WM lockscreen, but the colors didn't play nice at all. So, I decided to go ahead and fix it. This will be a nice compliment to anyone else using GTX ROM's (or just the standard theme on top of their ROM of choice) and this place is all about sharing, so here it is.
A couple of important notes:
1) Not my fault if gremlins come out of your phone and eat your kit-kats.
2) I did not dump this from the HD2 Mini, original work done by michyprima and the original thread can be found HERE
3)STILL DOES NOT WORK WITH A PIN PASSWORD, YOU MUST DISABLE YOUR LOCKSCREEN PIN BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS OR WHEN YOUR PHONE GOES TO THE LOCK SCREEN YOU WILL BE SCREWED AND HAVE TO HARD RESET YOUR PHONE TO ACCESS YOUR INFORMATION. Hopefully I will be able to sort out this issue soon for those of you that do use a PIN password.
4) I don't have landscape (it comes up with the lock in portrait) working properly on my phone but the graphic files are updated so I should be able to sort it out at some point in the near future.
Let me know what you guys think of it. Suggestions, criticisms (creative) and such are welcome.
To do:
1) I want to make the bottom notifications stand out a bit more (not shown in screenshot. The font doesn't look so great with the white background. -done
2) Landscape Support
3) PIN Password Support
4) Update notification Graphics (maybe) -done
5) VGA Support, if there is desire for it. -done
Changelog:
Version 1.5
* Updated Notification Graphics (to match GTX, thanks)
* Notifications now stand out, nor are they annoyingly close to the top border
Version 1.0
* Initial Public Release

Well, there is already an official one

There sure is. I noticed that after I posted. Mine looks different though.
IIRC There are like a million different icon sets and taskbar theme's too. Variety, spice, life.

Looks great! VGA PLEAASE

I'll get a VGA copy out today.

QVGA
any way of get for qvga??

i like it but the slide isn't enough motion. could we get it to slide from the middle or the top? and also is there a way to make the locker automatically turn on after the display is turned off and back on? i'd like to try this out instead of s2u2 but it doesn't offer as many options it seems /:

looks nice too bad doesnt work on my acer neotouch. nearly had to hard reset cos i couldnt remove it...

Would you be able to fix the bug that stops alarms from working?

I'm still kind of tinkering with this TDC, but I'm really not that great with coding, much more of a gfx guy. I'm more trying to get landscape working on it at this point TBH. I haven't given up yet though!

[Boot Animation] R2-D2 Boot Animation QVGA + Splash screen

This is R2D2 inspired boot animation for Android. it's pretty simple and straight forward.
This is my first attempt with boot animations, please be kind

I made this to work with my Kaiser running VaniljEclair RLS7c
I was thinking about making another version where R2D2 shoots a laser beam at an apple but it needs a lot of work, I'll probably try with it later
How to install:
on WM devices with Android installed instead of WM (Kaiser, Vogue..etc)
Unpack the attachment, and copy androidupdate.tar to your SD card. put in andboot folder
Now you have to Install the update: I quote this from “How to replace Windows Mobile with Android”
Place the SD card in your phone and power on your Kaiser. When you see text on your screen hold down the D-pad. D-pad is that button in the center of your up, down, left, right buttons. Keep holding down the D-pad until you see something like this appear on your screen.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Choose install update: you will see then some lines and then word Installing.
When finished, choose quite, or soft rest.
You’re done enjoy your new boot screen
For Android HTC devices:
Extract the contents of androidupdate.tar, you will see bootanimation.zip, then you might follow the instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623960
I wish I can explain more here, but again I don’t have Android device. Just a HD2 and my old Kaiser.
I got the R2D2 picture from this site
http://www.members.shaw.ca/david.p.z.888/star_wars/r2-d2.html
And the loading animation from this awesome place, it has tons of customizable loading animations
http://ajaxload.info/
I have also made R2D2 splash screen for Kaiser, I'm not sure whether it will work on other devices or not..
Thanks a lot for zenity for providing the programs to make splash screen
Make sure you back up your data before messing with your deivce
I hope you like it

Thanks Duke, lol, I'm just gonna download and install these both on my kaiser.
Your just lucky, I keep all sorts of stuff on my HDD, some of it's bound to come in handy someday, ( packrat mentality, you should see my attic, well, if you can get past 15 years of stuff that I may need someday.....).
Just a quick note, the Kaiser IS an android device, just not a Native android device

Lol
I was like you. but my HDD failed couple of month ago, and I had to start from scratch, and many of the older stuff aren't available online
The kaiser is definitely an Android device, and I'm loving it. my only wish is that if it had a flush screen.. that would've been very nice.
I can't wait for a similar android for my HD2
