HTC HOME + Customizer is getting Boring

I'm kind of sick of using HTCH w/Customizer. Anyone have any better options? I've got about 93 different cabs sitting in a folder on my desktop and I am unsure which route to go. Which programs do you feel are essential for customization? I do require a nice looking digital clock but haven't found a great one other than HTCHOME
Here is what I have for customization other than HTCHOME:
SPB
Phonesuite
PocketPlus
Time
MobileShell
Full Screen Keyboard
S2U2 (which I like a lot cause it gives me the option to display a nice looking clock and .gif images while the phone is locked)
rL: Not to familiar with getting a great lookin, while user friendly interface, theme onto my phone.
Any suggestions or screenshots would be great. I viewed the show your today thread, which I got most of these programs from. However, I think many of them looked better with HTCHOME.
Maybe my question should be, is there a way to get rid of the 5 launch tools (today, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, sounds, and music player) and cut it down to three?
This should be the idiot of the week thread considering i never bothered to hit the download button on the customizer menu durr

It sounds like you need HTC Home Customizer. You can find it here .

lol gee thanks but i think i established that in the first sentence of the posts. Thank you for your assistance though.

u can maybe try rltoday

Don't forget PointUI, Throttle Launcher, the LG Prada Interface and SPB MobileShell as your today screen.
You should check out the development and hacking forum more often

Requesting help creating GDE themes

I have tried opening the original default GDE theme to give myself a basic template to work from. I edited many photos and have a theme ready to use, however I would love to change the name and information which is stored on the AndroidManifest.xml.
Last night I installed Eclipse and all android addons, however the AndroidManifest.xml in the GDE skin I've tried editing, will not open in Eclipse.
As I am new, I'm positive I'm doing something erroneous that's simple to fix or solve, but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anybody who replies.
Jon.

Nevermind!
I'm an idiot, it literally took less than an hour of reading and investigating the xda forums.
Found the APKTool to edit and change the original GDE theme.
For those of you who actually look for themes for GDE still rather than metamorph, be looking for my themes.
Jon.

sounds promising.
.. GDE has been a bit dead lately..hopefully u can revive it.

I hope. I've tried all the home replacements, and GDE is the only one I'm really interested in. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm working on multiple colors of the hero first, nearly finished with them all..
If you all know any specific theme types I should work on that would target some crowd, all suggestions are appreciated.

theres a nexus, hero, cliq, and few other device ui's that are badass which have all been created..but no one has created an Espresso one..might wanna give that one a gander.

Funny, I didn't think of trying any of those, however the only one you mentioned having not being done yet, is the one that inspired me. Haha, I have an espresso one. It was created by someone I believe from this very community.

i can barely see it..
whats the middle icon?

Looking for OP of these icons - I made 35 new ones

I have an icon pack that I like very much, and I've created about 35 new icons using the OP's original concept and backdrop.
The problem is I don't remember who the OP was and so can't obtain permission to post the ones I have. Can someone take a look at the attached icons. If you recognize them and can't point me to the original designer, I'll send him the new ones to include in the pack... if he wants. The only clue I have is they were all in a zip file named "BlackIcons72x72".
Thanks!

Did a quick search on google for "BlackIcons72x72.zip" and look what I found
Google is your friend

Thanks! I wasted a lot of time doing searches here on XDA. I don't remember going to the other sure, but there you are I just needed to expand my mind!

Looking for a specific site that had pages of wallpapers & icons

I believe I found it through here but I can't find it again, forgot to bookmark it, I think it was an Android site but not completely sure, I just remember it had tons of wallpapers and icons and categorized them as I remember going through the minimalistic subcategories. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Color Me Android

So some of you may or may not remember a little old blog called Color Me Android from back in the day that was a screenshot based site. Well, it went down some months ago, and that was that. However. I tried to put a theme on my phone the other day (It's supposed to be so simple with the theme chooser, yeah?). Unfortunately, because it's so easy with CM7 and MIUI theme engines, that themes are EVERYWHERE. It takes you about a bloody hour just to find one.
So, I brought CMA back.
As a theme site.
It's a visual directory of all CM7/MIUI/ADW - type themes. It's in Open Alpha, and I'm inviting people to come, register, sign in, submit screenshots (Yes, I kept the orignal screenshot part of the site there) and help me find bugs while I finish adding themes. I've got 45 on the site so far. And I'm working my way down that ginormous list of themes that stickied in this forum.
So yeah.
Thoughts/comments/bugs?
or themes you want to see on the site? Tell me below.
http://colormeandroid.com

Sweet man thanks for bringing this back. Its great to have a easier way of finding themes and such.

sick idea. i'll deff be there alot as long as all the themes from miui get added there and lockscreens. =]

Once you register and log in there's a submit screenshot link that pops up so you can submit and view screenshots (a glorified 'post your homescreen' thread - but it's just like old school cma [hopefully])

I already have the "official" themes there, and I'm going through the miuiandroid forums to find more. It's gonna take a while to catch up.
Also - I am looking for people to help me add themes. So if you're interested, respond

I like it very much!
Here are some themes I personally use that I would like to see added
EpicBlue N Bold
R3D's Themes
Thanks! This is a great idea

Sorry, to prevent spam screenshots are sent in as a draft, and have to published by an editor (me). Otherwise people would just fill the form with crap. And it hasn't been notifying me, so I apologize for that. Also - the syntax for posting an image is the image tag in html not bbcode
so
Code:
<img src="url to image">
not
Code:
[img]url to image[/img]

Indeed you did. I can always go in and edit it, but it's nice for the people to know what they're doing. Especially since I'm the only admin/editor for the alpha. That way if I change something, I don't have to worry about telling other people about it

i was wondering what happened to u..i havent seen you around in abit.
i was cleaning out my drive and i found that sig you made for me about a year and change ago lol.

really like the ui of your site, seems user friendly for theme users to interact without searching for hours

That's the idea! Also going to add instructions for the various things. How to get CM7/MIUI on your device, how to blah blah. And whatnot. One stop theming, hopefully.

Glad to see you're back! I actually found you guys through custom android, or AE, any idea what happened to those guys?
Thanks for all your hard work.

AH. I got my new phone and then went to your site to find some nice styles but noticed its changed a bit.
Am right in thinking the old site was more customised home screens than themes?.......If so is there anyway to see them again because thats what I really liked. People saying what widgets they used and custom graphics to make cool buttons etc.
But still the site is good! Maybe have an option to go back to the old version aswell?

Yes, it used to be a screenshot based site. I am going to be bringing that functionality back in the near future. However, I am still working on finding decent hosting. I can't afford anything so I'm looking for a sponsor. Until I find one, production is at a standstill. But yes, the screenshot portion of the site is going to be at screens.colormeandroid.com when I get everything set up eventually.

u had some epic **** back in those nexusOne days!

Hey, I truly truly truly miss Color Me Android. I saw the new site up a little bit ago. Is it back down again? Also, will there be a way of getting the old themes/screen shots back? Like archived? Anyways, Hope to see this again soon, I need inspiration for my Droid!
Take care
