Doe anybody know if this is possible? Now I only got the background on the hometab, but it would be nice if it is shown all the time... A quick search didnt do the trick for me
id also love to be able to do this, anybody have any clues??
Yeah i would like something like this too.
Maybe even an option to have a different background pic on each tab, so say i have a Dark Knight pic on my home page behind the clock an stuff when i move across to say settings for example i could have a different pic there instead of the plain black with the squares underneath!
bump, the more ive thought about this today the more i want it!
/signed =)
Looked in the files, but have't found a way to do it :\

Me as well, did a quick look around the picture files and was hoping that it was just a normal background picture, but I had no succes as well :S
well i assume it wud jus be a case of replacing the image of the grey squares wherever that file may be. for having different image per tab would probably need additional software i would assume. then again, im just guessing. gonna keep this thread open because this is something i really want on my diamond
I'd also love to get an answer to this.
This is not possible till now.
If you use the search, you will see, that it is not possible to change any graphics of touchflo3d till now.

Lol, that's exactly what I assumed. The 'till' made me think twice, but getting back on topic. I'd love to have this also.
another vote from me also. this would be a nice bit of customization to have..

Sorry that may bad english confused you all. I meant: It is not possible at the moment.
Hi.
Anyone knows if it's still not possible to change the background on all of the tabs?
This would be a very cool feature
it sure would! And I’ve seen a lot of people asking for this feature, so I’m surprised that non of the diamond experts has figured out how just yet.
sushilange and D-MAN666 are figuring this out right now ...
They are developing an app to change the manila files...

I have rooted my phone and am using CyanogenMod 4.2.14.1
I was wondering if there are any interesting lock screens I could use. My criteria:
1. NOT the ones in the marketplace, have tried them out and don't really like any of them
2. FREE - this is a minor request and definitely not something I want to pay for (heck I've already paid $400 for the phone!!)
3. relatively easy to install. I managed to root my phone with SPL 1.76.007 which took a looong time and was difficult so I know my way around it. BUT, I am not willing to take any risks. I don't mind flashing something, but, that's probably the extent to which I want to take risks.
The screen itself:
1. Simple but with useful features, such as music changing ability, battery status, etc.
2. Some sort of password/lock code (not essential)
3. Background image
Thanks!
then stericson's lockscreen seems to be the one for you.

Have you looked the cmupdater themes? I am using the grey-white lockscreen and it is clean,sleek, and have gotten a lot of people wanting me to root their phones now....

I actually posted at the end of that because I wasn't sure what to do with the file I downloaded (for Cyanogen 4.2.14.1).
Can you help with that?

How do I get the themes? I'm actually using this in the themes directory (of cmupdater): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592377 to update my kernel on my phone whenever CyanogenMod is updated.
So, where can I get themes from and which one would you recommend.

boot into recovery and flash it on top of your rom
Thanks it worked.
Are there any other options? This one isn't bad but it seems a bit useless to me. Bit odd that you have to press a button to see the battery when it's right there on top!

Nope that's pretty much it. I know hero and eclair roms have a different lockscreen but they don't work for 1.6 roms. Only other option is to flash a hero/eclair rom or get one from the market. If you want one like the iPhone then get lock 2.0. Its not half bad.
I like having the battery button on the lockscreen. The battery on top gives some indication as to howmuch battery you have left but I like knowing exactly how much life is left in my baby lol

Thanks for the response.
Not unhappy with this one per se, but, it just doesn't do it for me.
Lock 2.0 is actually pretty good but I'm in Singapore and I don't have access to the paid market (which in the long run is a good thing!) and the free version has too many restrictions. I can't even add a background.
My main thing is I want a nice clock and background and battery display. This Stericson one does all that but it just feels a bit "meh" to me. Not sure why, not blown away ...Guess I'll survive!
If anyone knows of anything (theme or lock screen) to spice things up do let me know!
email me [email protected]
Does anybody know of a theme or something to make the default lockscreen
transparent??
use lockbot on the market, its pretty good. theres a free version and its still good

Thanks Myn for pointing all this out
Ive had this downloaded for a while and expect if no one has it ported by the time I get my phone and my first build tested I'll give it a go. I'm expecting however because it's designed for a higher resolution that while I can get it to boot the resolution is going to cause framework issues.
I'll keep you guys posted.

Awesome. Thanks for your efforts! However, I am concerned about the speed/functionality. I doubt this will be usable on a daily basis even if it does boot.

Yeah. I go for speed too. All the nice extras you get with sense is cool but the speed and workability of donut is why I haven't switched to Eclair.
im interested in the flash support. I just remember when we couldnt pull the flash out of the hero properly without the framework, so i figure this wouldnt be possible either. I would be willing to try the rom if someone ported it though

Couple roadblocks in the way.. the build is designed for the snapdragon cpu. I've not been successfull in the past at getting them going 100% (sorry I didn't realize this when I said I'd be able to do it) and I've been working on my build all day..
I don't tend to give up on things though so I'll come back around to it in a bit.
Did someone say snapdragon? VZW + Nexus =
AFAIK the Android version of Flash 10.1 is ARMv7-only because Adobe wanted to limit its usage to high-end phones... And since it's closed-source, unless Adobe releases an ARMv5/6 version, it's pretty much.hopeless.

I've tried cleaning up vilords tattoo build, still uses a lot of space removed a lot of htcextras that I don't use need or want. but if I remove the wrong things I have problems still working on it though the most I can get is close to 52 mb free internal memory before I sync all of my contacts. This is why I was curious if you could I tried splitting the install I suppose I have to have a partitioned SD card to get it to work right I get a lot of I/O device errors

Yes, you would need an ext2 parition on your sd, and a custom install script to set it all up.
Hey guys, just wondering what the best 2.1 hero rom is for my G1. I am looking forward to using the flash player.
P.S. a HTC-Sense rom is okay too.

Why are you looking forward to the flash player? You will be disappointed if you expect it to be a life changing event.
Vegamans Legend Port ROM. AMAZING! Looks great, fast, 2.1 All that's missing is LWP and that's something I'm sure we can all live with?

To tell you the truth, I don't feel like reading every change log on all the roms to see what features there are. I just wanted to see what rom someone might recommend. Wasn't really trying to find the best rom. And on Flash Player, yeah I know its not the best, I just wanted to show off to my friends
also, could I ask if I will find more success with a Desire rom than a Hero rom?
No. The Desire is 2 times larger then the G1 it's impossible.

You don't have to read the change log from every rom, only the few that say hero/desire/eris (of which there are less than a handful).
If they are impressed by 15fps web games...
I don't mean to drag your topic down, but this keeps getting asked over and over again, when all you need to do is look and try a few roms on your own.

Hi all, I just got my first Android phone (which is obviously the Nexus One) and I've gone through and set up some widgets, got apps, etc. I have a few questions.
Does running multiple widgets kill the battery faster?
(I guess that was really it).
Also, are there any really good getting started with Android guides out there? Maybe some mods you guys recommend (Cyanogen, etc) that really make this thing shine?
Thanks,
T.J.

Follow those tutorials, Do #3, then #2, then #1. Enjoy!
depending on the Widgets used. The ones that always update can use a lot of the battery. Tbh though it all depends on what you do with your phone. In addition, searching the forums for what you want to do is the best way of figuring out how you want to pimp out your phone. Gl

That's great, but too late, I am already rooted on Froyo.
I don't have Froyo yet, I'm on an AT&T N1. I do have a question about trying these different ROMs: what are the chances I'm going to permanently brick my phone? I'd hate to just pay $530 for this thing and then somehow cause it to stop working.

Juice Defender is a great app that is available on the Android Marketplace and is guaranteed to at least double your battery life. If you choose to purchase the full version, you get some advanced features which can lead to even more battery power.

The guide includes the all-important step "Create a NANDROID backup" Should you run into major problems, thanks to your custom recovery, you'll be able to do a nand restore. But as long as you stay away from flashing radios on your phone you should be fine. A lot of people will tell you they aren't worth the risk, and the reward is often marginal, and I tend to agree
