Works great we just need to get the Samsung widgets ported over.
It works fine, just needs to be made for smaller screens, i have icons getting cut off on the menu and the text under the icon gets in the way, but it works none the less,
BTW if you try to download the .apk on ur phone from the site. it doesnt seem to download all the way, thats why the people getting the error is gettting it
thanks for the share tho.

I should be able to fix the overlap issues in the menu but there is no point until widgets are available.
**Edit: I found some of the Galaxy widgets, I will try to port them when I get a chance. I get a "app not installed" error when I try to install them. If anyone knows how to get these to work or wants to try just let me know and I'll post them here.
I'm running LauncherPro and if you enable the 3D launcher in the settings, IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! IT IS SO FRICKING COOL
Go to Preferences> Andvaced Settings> Use 3D Launcher
Listy - I havent tried it, but im sure if you push the apps/widgets using adb you should be able to get them in your phone.

Ok whenever I try to install the apk it says "There was a problem parsing the package" what do I do?
I have been looking and looking for a way to do this myself, but I'm at a lose. If someone could whip this up that would be great! I hate the black (grayish) color of the dock. Would love for it to be clear!
I will look into this after I get less hung over. 2 hours of sleep.
Who uses the tw launcher anyhow? I am just pulling your leg, it should be a simple png or 9png.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I can not for the life of me find where it is it's odd that the Vibrant/Captivate have a different TW launcher then what we do, same with the Epic.
I actually like tw. They buddies widget rocks. Would love the clear bottom bar

I was passed out until just a bit ago. Extracted the apk as we speak.
EDIT: ok i replaced every possible image that is associated with the dock bg. It appears that its controlled by an xml and set to black with transparency. I don't feel like digging through all the xmls to figure out right now, maybe someone more experienced can look through it.

Damn it! I was thinking it was a xml but I was hoping it wasn't..
Still waiting........ haha!
I'm no expert but I believe the two files that need to be edited are \res\layout-land\launcher.xml and \res\layout-port\launcher.xml . Change the android:color to @android:color/transparent under the section com.sec.android.app.twlauncher.MenuDrawer .
I'm having trouble recompiling the apk so that my phone recognizes it as a launcher.
Like I said I'm no expert so I'm not 100% on this.

I can't even find the files that you are talking about? Are you talking about the framework-res.apk or the twlauncher.apk?
maybe I'm way off then, I was looking in the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk in /system/app

No, I was wrong.... haha! my bad. I was thinking it would be in the framework folder, but it actually might be in the system/app
Have you tried to copy the .apk to your Sd Card then change it to .zip
-unzip the file
-mess get the new .xml compiled from that
-use the app "Ninjamorph" to put the new .xml file back
Think that would help you?
Edit: Or just upload the new .xml files that you mess around with and I'll see if I can get it pushed in
OH! I also failed to mention that it is 100% a .xml file. I've messed around with some morphs that are out for other galaxy s phones and the background is still that ugly gray/black thing.
I keep getting FC's when i swap them out, I'll post the xml's. -port goes to layout-port and -land goes to layout-land. remove the -land and -port and rename the .xls to .xml.
I can't guarantee this will work so try at your own risk.
So you switched them out with Ninjamorph already? And still get FC's?
I'm wondering if we could get a copy of the TouchWiz launcher from the Epic if we could just copy and past the .xml from there?
Yea I switched them out with ninjamorph and still got problems, also tried swapping them out of a deodex'd apk and got the same issue. I have no idea on the epic, like I said before I'm definitely no expert I just like to tinker.

That's how I started with the Moto Droid. Just started to tinker. lol!
I'll look for an Epic version of the launcher or any other galaxy phone launcher in a system dump or if anyone else can find one a post it.

Okay so I've made a custom theme pack for myself, now I just need to know if there's a program out there, for un-rooted users, that will allow me to manually change each existing icon myself? If anyone knows of such a program please reply with it, including some information on where I could find the program.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help out, there's a couple quid in it for the 1st successfull program/method that works exactly how I want it to.
Please note, I don't particularly want to edit each file .apk manually to change its icon =D
How many views and no one wants to make any money?

It is not possible to change something like the icons without root as it would need access to modify the apk files
Okay so given that I'm looking for a nice simple 1 click root, once found what would be the cards in the deck then?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
You could change the shortcut icon on the homescreen for example with a program called anycut, or the paid one called bettercut
Otherwise you will need root acses
Edit: Or (Don't know if this works someone might need to correct me ) if you get each apk of the app you want to change the icon on, just open the apk and replace the icon
EDIT2: Nvrmnd read the first post slowly
I've already sussed out the homescreen icons and yeah it makes a massive difference to me, but idealy I want every icon changing to the way I want it, is there a 1clickroot method for Hero?

Don't know if it works but I know there is an app called "Universal Androot" (not sure it's on the market) that you can search for on google

Hmm... Umm... I got two methods that im not sure if they'll work, first search the market for androot (i think) and try root it that way, second download ROM Manager from the market and install the clockwork mod recovery, there the closest ways to 1 click i think

Obviously you've rooted your Hero? What method did you use, I'm all for the confusing methods, I'm just not that familiar with ADB and the commands and what my phones running or what 'MOD' I'm currently on. It's all a lickle hazy to me as of right now, hence why I'm willing to pay someone for their precious time =D

Haha Okay
First thing, could you go into (on your phone) Settings, ABout phone, Software infromation and then write what it says under Firmware version
Hey I've got to go for a bit now
I reccomend looking here seems simple
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/11/how-to-root-your-android-phone-superoneclick-method/
And that should work
Now we're down to business! 2.1-update1, I done that myself =D lol then I updated something else to 3.35.61.2 if this is to any use =S
Hehe I can't keep up anymore. It's such a long time since I rooted my phone I have no idea what I did Anyways the trick is to let out what you don't need. Software number etc. often doesn't matter. It's pretty easy actually. When you get root you can very easily install a recovery. Basically you just download Amon_RA from the dev section and type in some basic commands in a terminal emulator on your phone AFAIK (that is when you have gained root which you hopefully can with a one-click method) and then you can start modding flashing etc.
ADB is really easy to set up. You download the zip file from here, extract it and (I recommend) put the extracted folder on your system drive. Now you can rename it to something easy like "adb" or "Android". If you open your command prompt by typing in "cmd" in the search bar in start (if you're using Windows Vista or 7) or opening "run" and then typing in "cmd". You can now type in "cd yoursystemdrive:\thenameofthefolder\tools" and start using ADB commands. Like adb ls -1 system/app (this will list all your system apps. You can replace "system" with "data". Thos will list all your installed apps) or adb pull nameoftheapkyouwanttoedit.apk \adirectoryyouwanttocopyitto (this will copy an app you want to modify. To modify it you can extract with WinRAR or 7zip etc. and edit the images (except the ones that ends with ".9.png")) and at last adb push \thedirectorythemodifiedapkisin systemordata/app (this will put the modified apk on your phone).
Hope this helps a little

This is the first anything I have put forth to share, but wanted to because everyone shares with me. I took the darkness skin offered by handcent and put my own twist on it. The only way I've tried to apply it is to uninstall the original one and install this one. No need for root access. I hope you like it...
Screenshots:
no longer available.
This my latest and final one. It is the same type of skin as the one above, but this one replaces the metal skin.

I can't get this to work at all on liquid 3.0 for the thunderbolt... That's the only snag I've found so far.
Edit: moved updated skin to first post.
I can't install it on my HTC Desire with CM7.1. Handcent is up to date. After the install failed I resigned the apk and tried again but still no luck. Any ideas?
I had problems with liquid for the thunderbolt, and also with a few other roms. I haven't changed anything and it works on bamf forever. I'm not sure what keeps it from installing on certain roms. I tried adb push and that didn't work either. I'm not very well versed in system operations. I wish I had a definitive answer.
I tried a few more times (resigning, repacking and resigning, repacking and optimizing and resigning etc.) but still no luck. Maybe it's because of my ROM (CM7.1) or the Handcent version (3.9.9.1) but there are problems even with the original handcent skins from the market (I tried the Halloween skins). They install but I can't select them in the handcent app.
I also tried to mod the handcent apk but even stranger things are happening there: it installs without any issues but when I open it it crashes. No FC warning or something but it simply closes right away.
I'll keep trying so maybe someday we can all enjoy various skins for handcent.
Thanks for the effort. It only worked on certain roms for me. My friends with unrooted phones didn't have any trouble, so unfortunately I think it just wont work for everyone. I am making another one, but I wont be able to put up any screenshots.
Okay... I changed one more... It will be my last one because I get bored quickly of any one thing. I'll put it in the first post.
So Im working with a Theme already made and finished and works, but I made one minor change and it doesnt work.
So what Im working with is the Red_Remix theme, I opened the apk in winzip, found the 9.apk I wanted to change, dragged it into photoshop, dragged it back to winzip, saved it and put it on my SD. Then I uninstalled the old Red_Remix and tried to install the updated one, but when I did this it said "application not installed"
Anyone know whats up?
i think you have to sign it
yeah thats what someone else said, but theres a bunch of hoops i guess i gotta jump through cause its a 9.png soooooooo ima just say **** it haha not worth the effort
