+1 one thing i can't stand is when people complain about how something looks. They don't understand you do this for your own phone how you think it will look best but willing to give it to the community as a favor... But like you said... You don't like it... DON'T USE IT!!!

Im not sure exactly wut your referring too but cyanogen did not create a launcher
He used one created by someone else And this theme contains the advanced launcher
That gives the option to change the number of homescreens plus other options
Lol sick theme! Not reallt feeling the demon spider on the status bar but that web is sick... if you could put a spider on the app trey instead of the words "black widow" that would be tight
this theme is sick armyranger. i have always been a huge fan of your work.
wow
Been using this theme for a couple days and I gotta say I'm very impressed... still not a fan of the skulls but everthing eles.... wow factor is in effect here ladies and gentlemen... you can just stop and the hightlighs on the home screen icons with the spider... if u want more pull that trey down and highlight something.... it shows the spider behind it... scroll down to the next notification and the pic changes according to what behind it... I like the attention to detail!... keep up the good work... by the way... in the most popular wallpaper app in the market they have a good wallpaper... just go to search and type in spiders and pres next one or twice... can't miss it. Only thing is it take away from the spider hightlight on the home screen apps... I'm sure you could tweake that though... thanks again!
correction
If you search that wallpaper put in "spider" not "spiders" it should a couple pages in on the upper left

Version Added For Daveids Full Version Of Cyanogen 4.2.1
Surely if it works on daveids version of 4.2.1 its a theme for CyanogenMod 4.2.1 seeing as they are the same thing bit of a miss leading thread title
Are any wall paper developers trying to make custome live wallpapers for ManUp's 2.1 Rom? It already has the live cub wallpaper running on it perfectly. If not, Now would be a good time to start. Its the begining of a new way of building beautifull wallpapers that u can actually bring to life. Now that's Insanely cool If that's a word?.........lol
Theres 2 live wallpapers on the market Digital Rain and some duck 1. They both work on Manups 2.1.

Where do you see that someone has it working with 2.1? I only see them getting it to work with 2.0.1.
Does anybody have or is there a way we can get the live wallpaper from the Nexus? I want the grey screen that has the colored blocks that move up and down.

theres one in market called starfield
http://uk.androlib.com/android.application.com-discoverdroid-starfield-pDCp.aspx
or type "live wallpaper" in market for more like duck hunt where you shoot ducks
I bought the blobs live wallpaper, I actually find it quite nice (looks some what like a concert laser) also seems less stressful than the star field.
Id say its worth the $1.26 (.99 pounds)
I bought Rainbow and Bokeh. Might just be in my head, but Rainbow seems to be the smoothest running LWP on my G1 in terms of causing lagginess. Bokeh seems to eat up more memory or something because switching homescreens gets pretty choppy.
nevermind ... me dumb.
I have been theming my phone through the past few updates to cyanogens roms and here I am thinking the widgets were stuck ... no, they are supposed to be black.
My only question is why did he do this? They look really out of place. I'd love to have the old widgets back.

They are the 2.0+ stock widgets. They made some of them black by default. They change the stock widgets out every few updates (I think to keep us themers on our toes lol).
Ok guys well here is a a home i found on another forum. Under XPERIA forums, they have a app called AMBIENT TIME. Its a home replacement, works pretty good on my phone. Im not rooted or anything 2.1update 1. What i dont get is, why with this home replacement we get, live wallpaper as the stock backgound of this new home. But in our stock home, we dont have no live wallpapers? If some 1 can find out how that works plz let me know. n here is the link provided for the app. Try it out and let me know what results u all get.

Not a live wallpaper as it BG, that is the home app itself.

If landscape worked i would totally use this as my main launcher
I'm new to the Android scene (coming from a Touch Pro 2) and I'm really hating the Motoblur interface. Is it possible to install another launcher, or is that something that's hard coded in the ROM?
For some of it you can install a new launcher, ADW, ADW Ex, Launcher Pro are a few examples.
Any of them will allow you customize your homescreens more.
Curious wat you don't like about it? It seems very snappy to me. Much improved over previous versions of blur ui.

Its snappy and neat but not as snappy as a third party launcher such as launcherpro

I don't mind this motoblur but go launcher is still more functional for me.
Sent from my DROID3
i suppose i dont disagree... put the topic was that he was "hating motoblur", and while old versions were truly hate worthy, i don't find this version offensive! in fact if they had launched originally with this version, i don't think there would be much hate at all... LP and ADW are still better, and easy solutions for those who like more customization for sure!
The only thing I don't like about this blur, are the 4 launcher icons. Wtf 4? I want/need my app drawer button in the middle, and there's no middle with 4...
So, aside from that, I would be using the stock launcher. When will manufacturers realize people need options, and options are the biggest advantage over iphone. I would be perfectly happy with blur if I could add a 5th icon to the launcher bar.

I put Launcher Pro on my wife's D3. Apart from a very occasional graphics hangup on the homescreen (which may or may not be from Launcher Pro) it's working really well. She likes that the interface is cleaner, and I don't have to try and explain how "this icon with two squares represents your app drawer", heh! Using the Froyo Wide style for the dock, visually, makes a big difference in not being confused on her first Android device.
Only thing I actually kind of miss is the Moto's QuickContacts widget, which shows up invisible from within LP; and LP's people widget isn't very nice IMO.

I get the same graphic hangup on waking the device. It's seen as the desktop area being black while the dock is still visible and showing the wallpaper. Happens every time but clicking the app drawer or rotating the phone makes it go away. This happend on my d1 occasionally with cyanogen as well so I'm fairly certain it is Launcher Pro. Still can't live without LP as the blur home sucks imo.
I honestly love this blur ui. The blueness is awesome, The widgets are sweet, the icons are nice looking, and the 3d-ness is pretty sexy. This is all coming from a touchwiz fan tho

Dude... it's okay that you are one, but you don't say things like that in public.

I didn't know you got a Droid 3. I loved your themes on the Fascinate. I'm actually getting one myself on the 27th. Can't wait to ditch the Fascy for it. Any plans on making themes for this when it gets root?
And I agree. The blur on the D3 is very nice. I've absolutely hated every version of it besides the D3's. I hate the TW3 launcher but like all of the TW features(like notification bar toggles). I love TouchWiz4.
Overall I don't mind blur at all. I wish they had certain features from the full blur, but I switch launchers like no tomorrow. I have ALL paid versions of LPP, ADW, Mobile Shell, and Go. I wish I could keep the favorites launcher from blur or find something similar to that.
Motoblur is now called "Motorola Application Platform"
Hahaha that sounds like "we don't want to call it Blur because everyone hates Blur."
Under "Operating System" on Verizon's page on the details screen:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/droid-3-motorola.shtml
Also, it's funny that Motorola decides to phase out the name rather than phase out Blur completely: http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/09/motoblur-name-phased-out-due-to-public-feedback/
And by funny I mean annoying!
But as the others have said, it's much less annoying than what it used to be. At least when you get your phone you don't have all of these stupid widgets everywhere preloaded on your screen. I really can't stand having all the VZ apps.
I actually liked the blur ui on this phone, but it seemed too laggy. I put launcher pro on and it has helped, but I still notice a little. I am thinking it shouldn't have any lag at all being a duelcore phone and all. Any settings I can change to help it?

I would definitely theme this when the time comes, I planned on it. I kinda dont know if Id want to theme it TBO, Blur is perfect (For me anyways). If someone ends up making an aosp rom or something I could probably theme that for the people that want to be de-blured. Im not sure how this phone will work theming wise.
I really don't mind blur on D3, way better than the blur on that defy I was tinkering with for a while, but I've been a loyal LP user since my OG. What I would like to see though is that quick contacts widget working in LP. That widget is slick, one of the coolest widgets I've ever seen, and I would use it alot. Anyone got any ideas on that?

Yea, the d3 is seems to be nearly stock android.

True. There are a few changes I'd want, like making the menus black with white text instead of white with black text.
I got the D3 today. Of course, the one I get has a touchscreen that stopped working after activation. Waiting until Friday for the new one to come in. But, at least my DX2(Fascinate replacement, since mine has issues and I was gonna give it to a friend) came today and works so I have that in the mean time.
EDIT: Got the replacement in earlier. Loving this phone so much. It's extremely smooth and fast(even with Blur), and the keyboard is amazing. This is the first version of Blur I've liked. I would like root to remove V Cast apps and a few other bloatware apps, but meh, I can wait. At least Blur has app groups in the mean time.
Anyone know if there's a way to restore an old LP backup from an OG Droid?
I keep getting no files found... the backup's on my SD card... do i have to create the directory on my internal storage for it?
[edit] Ignore - Figured out solution. Simply copied the LP backup folder from my SD card to my internal storage and it worked.
Guessing since it mounds as sd where as the actual sd card mounts as sd-ext?
