[Request] Animated HTC Flip Clock

I've searched and googled and found that the animation on our flipclock has been disabled in an update. Surely one of the geniuses at this site can figure out how to reanimate it? I don't mind the lag on my homescreen, and I'd love to have a flip clock that actually, uh, flips!
Also, are there any widgets that act as a simple scrollable dock? Like a 1x4 transparent box that you can add shortcuts to and scroll through them, like BetterHome? I don't much care for BetterHome's lack of widgets, so I bounce back and forth between HTC Sense and PandaHome. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a ton.

i would love to c that

Trust me iv'e have a poll up on MoDaCo and even raised it in numerous posts on here, no one seems bothered about it. I'm confident someone here could get the animation working, but i don't think they want too :/

if you guys could be bothered to search you might have found one of the at least four threads about the flip clock animation. and i think the outcome is pretty clear: if you want flip clock go back to an old rom that still had it.
i don't think it is that easy to port apps (esp. those from htc, that are not part of the AOSP) to a newer rom version. i am sure if it was someone would have done it, as there were lots of requests for this.
and if it is that easy, why don't you do it yourself?

Thanks for pointing that out but alot of Devs on here have achieved a lot so we assumed it could be done.

[Q] Can anyone identify these icons?

No one has been able to so far. I PMed the guy who posted them in a screenshot but I haven't gotten a response and he hasn't been back to that forum in a while. I'd really like to find them and the set they came from since they'd look awesome on my Droid. Also, any idea on the wallpaper?

Okay, new plan. Since no one has any idea where these came from, is there a good image based search site or resource for droid icons?

iconspedia.com
iconfinder.net
There aren't too many specifically for android but there are a large variety of icons

I run Iconfinder.com and see at lot of icons - I haven't seen these before so they could be from an unreleased icon set.

Or custom icons (which will not be released)
easiest way would be to ask the screenshot taker

[Q] how do i put custom themes on my captivate?

Sorry if this has already been posted...im a noob and im trying my hardest to research this stuff....my phone is rooted and i have the froyo rom on my captivate...but im wondering how i put a custom dockbar(like the HTC format) and custom icons/wallpapers on my phone...any advice would be great, thanks!

Your first step should be to download launcherpro from the market...it is much more customizable than the stock launcher...

all those are in the development section or the themes and apps section. it is not as simple as just installing an app and making a change. the evo icon dock bar (i assume you mean HTC sense) is typically done through launcher pro through the use of custom icons and dock background.
for the slide to unlock, you need to read the instructions on how to do that. there are entire threads dedicated to it, so i suggest you read

Well, the best place to look for icons and such would be in the main forums, Android, Android Themes. Just find the icons/dock backgrounds you like and make a folder on your SDcard and copy them to that. Then launcher pro lets you change icons and dock backgrounds pretty easily.
As for full themes, look in the Captivate / Captivate Themes and Apps section. There are a couple Metamorph themes right now, which will require you to download metamorph from the market. Also, in the captivate section check the post your homescreens thread and ask questions if you see a screen you like.
Good luck.

Lurking Noob!!!

I've had my hero for a year, i've rooted and had numerous roms installed, but never had a very cool screen. i've really just had the basic screen, just changed wallpapers. i've looked on "post your screenshots" and there were some awesome screens. They didn't really go into great detail on how they got it to look like that. if somebody could give me some tips or just point me in the right direction, that would be great.

I'm in the same boat.... Just found out Sprint changed their upgrade policies so I'm stuck with my Hero for another year and just started playing with different themes. It gets really confusing, but if you go to the Hero Theme pages there are a lot of things you can try. Just make sure you have a good nandroid to flash back to if things go wrong, and read, read, and read some more until you understand the instructions. The Skulls & Dragon Themes were pretty easy to use....forgot which post # it was.

Skulls, Dragons, and Black theme can all be found at this thread.....

Most of the time if you QUOTE the SS, and ask the poster what setup they have, they will most likely tell you.

Alot of it relies on using a different launcher, namely launcher pro, adw launcher, or go launcher. Then you download lots of different apps like minimalistic text, desktop Visualizer, simi clock and lots of other stuff that give you lots of ways to customize your screen.
Like stated above, go to the screenshot thread find a look you like and try and imitate it. If the original author didn't say what he used, quote the post and ask if anyone can tell you. Most people who customize a lot can tell exactly what programs someone else is using.

Thanks for all the info. I'm going to try some stuff out tonight. I'm using adw launcher ex right now.

[Q] Stock BLAND Icons

I was wondering if anyone or why has NO one ever did anything with the PLAIN BLAND STOCK Icons at the bottom of every ROM that is available here and other places.
Meaning the Phone,messaging,app button,contacts,camera icons. Or maybe I missed something somewhere because i am useing ViperOne 5.7.0 and it still has the same OLD BLAND ICONS.
Is anyone or is there some where I can get replacement Icons that would at least look good with any theme.
No matter what Theme you do or install in you phone you still have the same OLD BLAND ICONS there.
This is just a thought . I dont mean harm or malace to anyone so do not take it in wrong context

Since you are on ViperOne there is a whole thread dedicated to theming the ViperOne ROM. three clicks you are there.

Here is a good thread for custom icons http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518899
As you look through the thread you'll see other members that also make icons
