Need help with customising......everything

Hey guys,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S yesterday and loving the transition from iPhone to Android.
After talking to some android experts on a IRC, i have been able to install Android Froyo 2.2. The latest version. I have installed Odin and Voodoo Lag Fix. I have used quadrant and compared results before installing odin etc. I am not a root user currently and don't know how to be one on 2.2.
Now I want to install custom themes and icons. But I have no clue what to do. Like no idea.
I want my SGS to eventually look this.

I am really into designing and will want to eventually create my own skins so I am taking baby steps, and want to first learn how to install other peoples themes that they have made etc.
Looking forward to all your answers.
Thanks

Looks to me like they're using launcher pro.
The first one would be the hardest to get because you'll have to change the icons one by one using an app found in the market called desktop visualizer. It allows you to place png files (pictures) as icons and assign a certain task to each one along with renaming them. They're are also using fancy widget for the clock or beautiful widgets. The status bar on top is most likely changed by a rom or theme.
The second one is very easy. All it is is launcher pro with it's dock icons (icons at the bottom) changed out. With wallpaper found in many wallpaper apps. A custom clock most likely found in the market and custom text clock and percentage widgets. Check out clockr if you want a text clock.
The third one again appear to be using launcher pro. Which by the way a home replacement app. Extended control app for the toggles. digital clock app found int the market. And a custom status bar.
I currently using have a G2 and I'm on cyanogenmod rom which allows altering aka customizing your status bar.
i don't proof read my post so forgive or my spelling and grammar.
You best bet to finding out the exact apps are going to the vibrant forums and looking for the huge homescreen picture thread and asking for help or asking with widgets they used. I'm sure if you'll find alot more answers there.
Edit: Better yet. Commonly used widgets.

Hey guys,
This is my first post here and im kind of new to all of this so if you could please help me.. Ive been struggling to recreate this screen i found on another website.
The problems I am having are:
#1 - How do i get the SIMI clock widget to overlap the weather widget? I didnt think it was possible to place a widget on top of another one. Everytime I try it wont let me.
#2 - What is the name of the day of the week widget
#3 - What is the name of the battery status widget
#4 - And this one is a stretch but.. does anyone have a link to that wallpaper by any chance??
Thanks in advance guys, hope you can help

you need launcher pro paid version for this, because in launcher pro you can resize your widgets, and then you can resize simi clock widget like that in screenshot
1. weather widget is beautiful widget 4x1
2. Circle Battery Widget is for battery
3. I think the day of the week widget is Minimalistic Text
and i think this is wallpaper

Thank you so much.. It all worked perfect!

great

maybe its oneseven in the market??

weather widget
does anyone know the weather widget that was used here?
it seems to take up 2 spots vertically and shows like the current weather conditions on the widget.. (i.e. the raindrops to the right of the white line)
sorry im trying to be as clear as i can haha
please help

I think it's Beautiful Widgets.

Why wouldn't you just ask that in the comment section over at DeviantART instead of creating a thread at XDA? :S

several people (including myself) asked about that screen in the comments section at deviantART.. but the artist has not responded so i figured i would try over here.. i apologize

[Q] REQ - Windows Phone 7 Lockscreen

I want the Windows Phone 7 lockscreen for Android, I tried it with Typoclock but the font is too big and it's just not looking like the lockscreen.
The combination of the clock, calendar & "dock" widgets is just awesome. It should be possible to do the same on android isn't it?
And whats about the transparent statusbar, I know it looks creepy just as you start something else like launcher or any app, but isnt it possible to color it as you start an app?
thanks

I second this. I'd certainly cough up a cheeky 99p for this. If I can help with my little to no knowledge of app development let me know. (p.a. this should probably be moved to the general Android apps and themes forum)

No one else? Just tried Minimalistic Text Widget but the Font is too big and it's not looking like the Screen above. Any ideas?

Hello, you can try Widgetlocker ("to create a lockscreen") then put Pure Calendar widget and Mclock widget! That's all! Mclock is the only free one......
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

It'll be totally awesome if someone can make this lockscreen(the clock, date, notification,... and also the swipe up the whole screen to unlock), I really like the design of it.

Jepp and MIUI is using different notificationbars too. Like on homescreen its transparent and in apps its plain. I would so love to get the design with a totally transparent notificationbar and all the other stuff.

I've got to say, WP7 lockscreen looks very sweet, wish somenone made it for Android. The one on the black Nokia on the left seems really cool:

I have been looking for widgets likethis for ages but can't find anything as good as the wp7 ones
minimalistic text is the closest one but it's not as elegant as the wp7 one

[Q]Need help to identify these widgets and skin

Hi there, I saw this skin and widgets on the Minimal Reader Pro market page and I fell in love with it. Problem is, I have no clue what skin/widget they are and how I can recreate it. Can anyone help?
Specifically I would like to know the weather widget and skin and the time/clock widget/skin along with the background used if possible!
Thanks a bunch!

Looks like simiclock, and. Beautiful Widgets, with transparent Genie widget.
Regards

Hi ! I'm the dev of Minimal Reader, the widgets I used in that screen are Simiclock and Beautiful widgets in 4x1 weather mode with Flat white theme.
The icons are from Minimal theme for ADW Launcher, and the background is from the honeycomb wallpapers that you can find easily on google (can't post it now sorry I'm at work )
But really, that is an old screenshot, I've improved my "minimal theme" on my SGS i9000 and it's now looking better than ever. I will post some screenshots along with the Minimal Reader update that I should have finished by tomorrow.
Keep an eye on the widget thread for new screenshots
Cheers !
