Who- From: Me To: You.
What- Tron themed Facebook and Twitter widgets.
Why- I want to share something with anyone interested in my work.
Everything Else- I'll keep the apps up-to-date with Facebook and Twitter. The apps themselves are not themed, only the widgets. The icons/Google search widget are from my Tron ADWTheme. (Find it in the Market) I'm not done, what others would you like to see?
Things to remember- The update.zip (it includes both) should work, but Clockwork isn't being very friendly with me. So, I haven't successfully flashed it. One last thing, right now these are only good for phones that support an HDPI resolution. I'll add MDPI support soon.
Enjoy!
If you appreciate my help, I'd appreciate yours.

But really, not a problem. Enjoy.
Any chance the icons be released? I'm not an adw user.
As for other widgets, maybe juice defender and juice plotter?

I'll see what I can do with those widgets. As for the icons, I'm keeping them with ADW for now.
cool. thank you
very cool! i installed ADW just for this :-D
the dollar was worth it.
Hey this is very cool. I must ask though why is the update.zip is needed?
I'd personally like to request an Auto Express Tron Widget, maybe turn the red to black and the black to cyan...assuming you don't change the text color, but if you can manage that, it'd be nice too. I tried messing with this one, but it was over my head. I was going to try what I just said, but couldn't find the images for those parts in the "drawable" folder.
On another note, I did manage to make a Tron Themed Picture Dial Widget. It's not the Pro Version sadly, just the free one, and I modded the second theme in the theme menu to the Tron look (and I only edited the small widget). It'd be awesome if I had the paid version, but oh well. (Pics and DL attached)
(And in the case someone is wondering about my icons or anything, I'm using Go Launcher EX and I just searcher the net for icons for hours and hours)
EDIT: Seems as though it was a glitch in the facebook system, not the modded app, or not the fact that I hadn't updated my facebook widget.
Update????
Hey OP, any chance of getting a Tron Themed Facebook 1.5.4 Widget?
The later facebook versions have chat included, and version 1.3 which we have does not.
I'd love to see an update/hear back from you.
I tried modding it myself, but I failed..... Some of the folders werent the same and all I ended up with was crappy white facebook
EDIT: Now all I get is problem loading Widget
Well i got this theme too - got to say its very clean and great to look at.
I only have one small issue.
The Google search widget does not work - there is no option in the widgets to set the Google search bar to that theme. Just the normal stock theme.
Does anyone have the apk for it ?
thx

Well, it's time I start working on putting together themes for dxTop so that non-root users can use them. I'm looking for theme authors to volunteer up there themes. I'm only looking to start with themes that will work with the 2 tabs in dxTop (or you can offer up additional assets) and have 100% of the Launcher skinned including the menu icons. Check out the dxTop site for a screen shot of the two tab layout.
If you want to give me permission to convert your theme to work with dxTop, please post here with a link to your theme's thread. Also, include how you want to be credited in the description on the market.
I only plan on doing a few to start. But I will be releasing source for building a themed for dxTop.
Thanks in advance for your help! I will start on this today.

Thanks guys! I have release dxTop with theme support along with Deep Black and Glossy Minimalism.
I will be looking to add the others as time goes on.
Thanks again!
The deep black theme caused a lot of lag on my phone. When dragging from screen to screen, the icons were leaving a trail behind them. Once I uninstalled it, everything was back to normal
EDIT: Nevermind apparently its the new update to dxtop, not the theme. It started happening again, even after a reboot
how deep does the dxtop support for theming go? Is it only the icons on the desktop etc or does it extend to pattern lock buttons etc?

Question:
I currently have the Rusty Metal theme installed through flashing the update.zip. If I switched to say Deep Black through the supported theme (not through update.zip), and didn't like it. What would I get if I switched back to default? The original stock theme, or Rusty Metal same as it was before?

Going back to original will use the stock resources so if you have a rooted theme installed it will show.

Correct, it can't change the status bar.
It's cool using the dxTop them in conjunction with a regular theme.
IE, I'm using the Glossy minimalist dxTop theme with the "Glossuite" competition theme, and it's cool.
Can't wait for more themes to be ported to dxTop.

I use themes all the time and my phone has never looked as sexy as it does now thanks to all theme devs.
I have one quirk, all themes look so sexy with one odd ugly looking calender widget on my home screen.
Please..Please.. skin the Calender widget when you release the next version of you skin. All Devs pay attention to search & Music widget but leave the Calender widget.

i was looking through the .apk, and it looks like it would be mostly xml edits to skin the calendar widget.... not 100% sure tho
I agree... The calendar widget looks very awkward on most of these themes.
posted this exact request in Q&A a couple days back, no responses...
I know beagz said he was going to look into this, that's the last I'd heard. I hope someone can make this happen, default widget just doesn't blend with these beautiful themes.

ears burn much? look forward to seeing what you do. I'd love to see something that blends with the hero flip clock or retro widgets but I'm sure whatever you do will look great. Really think someone needs to take the initiative and develop a new calendar widget from scratch, so many possibilities though... now that I think of it, I'd even like a full screen widget, maybe... ahhh who knows.
I like the flip clock idea since so many use it.
Stay tuned. When I do that there will be more than one.
I wish someone would just do a simple skinning of it like how the pictureframe in KSpec Oreo looks... just the border needs a good look the rest can stay the same.

Text color is not a part of the ROM. You can change the color of your text by logging into your google calendar online and on the left should be your calendar name, change that color to what you would like your text color to be and then resync your phone. Text changed!
Please, PLEASE can someone release a set of skins for this!

Check out the "pure Calender" widget. it costs $0.99, but it is SO worth it. There are different sizes to fit with just about any widget setup, and a bunch of different skins so it can blend with almost any theme you want! Also, it shows as many events as will fit on the screen, not just one like the default calendar widget
I came over to the android world from a HTC Tilt II running WM 6.5. Has anyone mimicked the Sense/TouchFLO layout? It looks very professional and sleek... I would love to make my Android home screen on my Captivate look similar to it. I love the android OS by far, but I would love suggestions on how to make it look more "professional". Thanks
Try Beautiful Widgets for clock and weather widgets. http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=beautiful+widgets
LauncherPro for custom docks and icons, an upgrade to LauncherPro Plus will get you htc sense style bookmark, contacts and facebook widgets. http://www.appbrain.com/app/launcherpro/com.fede.launcher
LauncherPro is IMHO the best replacement launcher www.launcherpro.com

I appreciate the help, however I have already purchased BW and LP. I just want that more "professional" feel, as previously stated, and I can't get that out of anything that I have tried. But again, thank you for your input.
You could try ADW Launcher, I've never really used it my self.
But you download custom made themes, i'm sure there must be numerous sense style themes available, but your not going to get sense style widgets.
There are numerous clock widgets available that are similar to sense clock widget http://www.appbrain.com/app/sense-analog-clock-widget-4x2/factory.widgets.SenseClock
I don't think he necessarily wants a Sense look, or he probably would have gotten an Aria or gone to a different network
As far as professional, sleek, clean.. the things you can do to your Android home screen are boundless. It's all personal preference. If you want it to look like HTC Sense, go with either LauncherPro Plus (for the widgets) or ADW.Launcher (for the navbar and icons). Also, I recommend Weather and Toggle Widgets paid app, if you want the pretty HTC Sense flip clock with the weather (get the H7C skins for it).
Personally though, my homescreen is TypoClock with four of the apps I use most (Facebook, Messaging, Music, and Faves.. not very professional, but whatever, I'm in high school ). And there's other widgets you can get to make it pretty, like Tajm and BattStatt are nice. If you have any Photoshop skill (or hell, even Paint), you should make a mock-up of what you actually want your homescreen to look like, that way we can give you more relevant suggestions.
And thanks for joining the Android army!
Get the signals23 themed launcher pro apk!! It looks very sleek & professional. You can find it in the ANDROID THEMES (not droid inc themes) section here on xda. Play around with desktop visualizer alongside various different icon sets. I share the same intent. I came from blackberry storm earlier this year and I would love a rom to be developed, that mimics the bbos, the same way miui rom from china mimics apple os4. I hate all the bb themes on the market right now. But I've become somewhat fulfilled with signals 23's launcherpro themed apk.
Oh and check out the "post your homescreen thread." See what you like here and there and get some inspiration.

Try "Slidescreen and Slidescreen Pro" in the market. They're home replacements and, imho, are very professional and clean looking. If you use all of the functions integrated it's even better. You can also try "Executive Assistant" which can be a widget for all of your info or a lockscreen replacement. Both are pretty professional looking.
EDIT* I'm not affiliated with either of these devs.. I just own both and enjoy the way they clean up the look of my phone.

Thanks for the kind words. People think I'm nuts for trying to mimic tf3d. They always say it looks too winmo, but they are missing the point. I love and miss tf3d. I am close to finishin a theme using LPP that will closely mimic tf3d. Stay tuned around these parts...

UPDATE(4/3/2012): NEW Pandora ICS Now Available! Get it Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24410421#post24410421
VERSION 2.2 IS HERE. BY FAR MY BEST WORK YET!
NEW BLUE 2.2 First attempt and completely different Check it out in POST #22
Now let me start off by saying this is my first attempt at anything like this. So please go easy on me people...What we have here is a Bionix themed pandora widget. I am currently using this widget and I believe it looks great under the google search. Below are three screen shots and the APK. For some reason after altering it, the apk can only be installed in system apps using root explorer you then have to manually change permissions to rw-r-r, then reboot. This is the most up to date pandora. Make sure orginal version is unstalled before installing this. I thank you for your time people and please leave me some feed back and let me know how I have done... ... O and big respects to Som and all of team whiskey your roms are the Best!!!!
V2.2
-Removed border around widget skin
-Changed all widget icons to have a more 3D feel
-Pandora logo also has same 3D feel
-Changed watermark to more of a true gingerbread green
-Also changed checkmarks to a glowing gingerbread green
This as stated above is by far my best work. Please feel free to browse the pictures, leave feedback, spread the word, and more importantly enjoy!
Dont forget to hit the Thanks button if you like my work!
V2
-changed pandora logo to dark grey
-changed all highlighted when touch icons to green
-greyed out the thumbs up and down checked
Also will be starting to tackle other widgets in the very near future, please feel free to throw me some suggestions.
*Edit* Work has been consuming much of my time lately, Facebook and twitter widgets have been put on hold. When time permits I will once again be actively tweaking. Bare with me people...
Thanx... looks nice

What are you looking for blue? Just the icons and markings or the background too? Also what type of blue? A sample would be great, just post me a link to something themed blue that you use. Get that info to me and i'll see what I can come up with
The blue I'm talking about is the blue in the Darkhorse theme blue. Here's a sample.
Would like the blue logo and blue background. If that's cool
Ok... Im gonna be playing with the facebook widget for the next few days. So this weekend is when ill get to your blue request. Check in on this page on Sunday. I should have something nice for you...
Who says your phone needs to be boring to be fast??
look at the screenies below and ill guide you to get your desired look
without sacrificing speed.
first you should pick the best vanilla gb rom you can find.
id recommend roms by elelinux and the OMFGB rom you can find it in the android dev forums for the Hero g2.
Im using OMFGB after using elelinux also, but i like some of the cool options and mods omfgb has although elelinux rom is a bit more speedy.
now ill tell you the apps i got on my phone tht cause the look
1. Agile lock ---- For the Salsa sense lock screen.....really responsive, even better than stock sense rom for hero.
2. LP Slate Sense is the sense clock without the animation for less memory consumption there are apps tht include the animation but i dont recommend them.
3. ADW Launcher EX and gingerbread theme for system icons and adw elegant theme for the dock icons. to change dock i cons drag and drop the app and just tap and hold and tap on edit and then on the icon then on adw elgant and choose icon u wish to use
4. for speed turn off animations, use rom toolbox to zipaling apps and setcpu to change ur cpu frequencies to max the closest to 710 the app ur using allows not in the 700 better something like 680 and min to 310-360 and scaling to smartass
5. now get the theme chooser theme finder app from market and look for theme naked simplicity
6. now if you have any issues just post it here and ill help you
dont forget to thank if you found this post helpful
Are you trying to tell us that vanilla is boring? You can do literally anything with vanilla, you can be boring (most people like to call it 'minimalist') if you want, and you can be super complicated.
I prefer to go with the minimalist theme, and for me, sense is ugly, the only advantage is widgets, and I get them with LP+ anyway. This is my last screenshot.
Boring enough?
Whatever... Thanks for the guide, but that sort of stuff is pretty well known.

On the lockscreen is:

Homescreen
- Skinned mClock
- Missedit
- Ubermusic 4x1 with Metro skin
- some old dock which I found somewhere and I've had sitting on my phone for years.
Ok, follow these links for a bit, and you'll find out what's going on

Thing is most ppl with a hero are always waiting for a sense ui release for the lates firmware just for the look, because they think vanilla is boring. truth is vanilla is very custumizable and speedy..tht is what i was trying to show.....i would thank all you guys who post ur themes and looks for the hero here...to show tht vanilla is the bomb for looks and speed.
thanks ;D
Truth is, on older phones newer sense versions feel like bloatware. I've been waiting for months for froyo sense (with camera, how can one live without it?), ditched waiting, went vanilla.
Never felt regret about that, even for a moment. There are better things in life than sense
Anyways, I wanted to keep it under wraps for a while longer, but whatever, why not mention, since we're talking here vanilla-power, how about this:

(can't post image directly, cause.. well, for a while I have an xda-noob status. ekhm..)
It's my own homebrew theme, so I could use some constructive criticism. Cause after what I've seen in post#2, it makes me wanna change the decor completely..

Who says your phone needs to be boring to be fast??
look at the screenies below and ill guide you to get your desired look
without sacrificing speed.
first you should pick the best vanilla gb rom you can find.
id recommend roms by elelinux and the OMFGB rom you can find it in the android dev forums for the Hero g2.
Im using OMFGB after using elelinux also, but i like some of the cool options and mods omfgb has although elelinux rom is a bit more speedy.
now ill tell you the apps i got on my phone tht cause the look
1. Agile lock ---- For the Salsa sense lock screen.....really responsive, even better than stock sense rom for hero.
2. LP Slate Sense is the sense clock without the animation for less memory consumption there are apps tht include the animation but i dont recommend them.
3. ADW Launcher EX and gingerbread theme for system icons and adw elegant theme for the dock icons. to change dock i cons drag and drop the app and just tap and hold and tap on edit and then on the icon then on adw elgant and choose icon u wish to use
4. for speed turn off animations, use rom toolbox to zipaling apps and setcpu to change ur cpu frequencies to max the closest to 710 the app ur using allows not in the 700 better something like 680 and min to 310-360 and scaling to smartass
5. now get the theme chooser theme finder app from market and look for theme naked simplicity
6. now if you have any issues just post it here and ill help you
dont forget to thank if you found this post helpful

You're in luck that I write step-by-step instructions for most of my themes...
On the lockscreen is:
- widgetlocker
- missedit
- ubermusic 4x2 with Metro skin
- Cowon D3 slider
Homescreen
- Skinned mClock
- Missedit
- Ubermusic 4x1 with Metro skin
- some old dock which I found somewhere and I've had sitting on my phone for years.
Ok, follow these links for a bit, and you'll find out what's going on
lockscreen overlay and missedit.

Hey
i love the clock on your homescreen! I downloaded the xml... but the background of the clock is not there. Is that just photoshopped onto your wallpaper? or am i doing something wrong?
sl slate clock is a pay version there is a skin for fancy widgets for free in the market,,

there is no clock background, it's the overlay for the wallpaper. Read the attatchments properly, there is an overlay thing in there... I get the feeling that the only overlay there is the iPhone-y one straight from Chris, but I cba checking... I edited a few of the images Chris made, you can do it yourself, but if you really really want it and don't want to do anything yourself, I suppose I could do some digging...
