Subscribing now. Tired of my same android home screens over the past few devices. Less some if I can find something new from new ideas!

I'm sure we'll see some great things here.
Stuck for quick reference and sharing
I will post mine later, need my home computer to get some of my old items on but I plan on trying to build out a new icon set over the weekend for this.
Man, the Space Shuttle built in picture is awesome.
(Using ADW.Launcher)
thanks to koush
Basically I brought over a similar theme design from my HTC Desire. Still tweaking the dock icon fonts and wall paper. It's a work in progress.
Nexus S is my first android phone. Everyone's got amazing screens. How do i get one of these? All the help and suggestions are highly appreciated.
This is where I started, great for seeing many of the different widgets available to you.

Wallpaper you just need to search around but wallbase.net has been my go to.
Finally, to change dock icons and various other things, I use Launcher Pro, you can get it in the market. My dock icons I made myself.

welcome to the android community
in a nutshell...read, everything you need to know is in this forum. you can do slight modifications with new launchers (adw or launcher pro) but to really make significant changes (complete themes, fonts,etc) you will need to root. (needed to do screen captures as well)

clock too?
Isnt that the launcher from systemforce or specforce theme? looks similar.
the clock is not in it.i did not like the clock in the nexus dump so i made my nexus clock and the launcher i made i will have to look up systemforce or specforce theme.
added a morph with just the clock and looked at systemforce don't look like it at all and don't see specforce or any thing like it.

nice i like it! looks like you have a few metamorphs, would it be possible if you could put them all in one thread so that they are all easily accessible. it would also decrease the clutter of metamorphs in the theme section. just a suggestion.
is the settings widget included too?

metamorph will replace the images in whatever you have as Launcher.apk in /system/app/ if that is the Advanced Launcher, then you have Advanced Launcher support.

kron i have a question. The clock on my phone looks a bit like the screenshots you posted, some grany lines separating the shades of grey.
But checking inside the metamorph file on the pc the clock dial file looks perfect.
Is it the low resolution of my phone?
Hi,
i called this theme Hero Mix because it's a mix of my themed _rom, Eclair-Hero theme by pcmaniacs (i want to say him: THANKS) and some other theme.
I want also say a big THANKS to TED417 for the nice launcher bar of this theme.
This is a cm 4.2.9.1 theme, so you must before flash that rom and after flash this theme.
Lockscreen is untouched for now
I made also a version with Launcher bar of my themed_rom.
Hope you like it
Version with hero-look launcher bar:

Just finished instaling, looks great.
Do you think you could create an advanced launcher version?
Also when I select a contact the background where their name is is a bright green, is it supposed to be like that?
Awesome! So it's not a full ROM anymore?
This method is waaay better!
Also, thanks for keeping the old launcher too!
Peace.
http://twitter.com/ERK
just a suggestion, photo_frame.png, from the htcphotowidget.apk in any hero rom(took mine for mghtymax 1.9.1)instead of coloring the android frame, and renamed appwidget_bg.9.png
this essentially eliminates the frame altogether, just looks cleaner imho
televideo is indispensable
i'm gonna try the theme..
looks good. can you put the new lock screen in?

@That's to bad to hear. I always did wonder who made that hero launcher.

Hey all,
Recently saw the thread about peoples home screens and saw some really nice ones.
I have a question though about launcher pro and I can't find any tutorials or solutions for it online.
In short when using launcher pro it gives you a default of 5 shortcuts on the dock for each screen (maximum of 7 screens I think)
I've seen some setups where people have replaced the shortcut image with a word (ie messages, phone, internet)
I want to do this but everytime I try to change the image for a word it shrinks it down to a set size to fit in with the 4 other shortcuts on the dock, I'd like to do it so the word takes up the space of two shortcuts.
Basically I want it to look like the dock at the bottom of this one:
img40.imageshack.us/img40/3710/snap20100911025522.png
(sorry couldn't make it a link and post)
Or at least similar, does anyone know how to do this? I'm using Launcher pro, would I need Launcher pro plus?
Thanks!

You don't need launcherpro plus but what you do need is that exact launch bar or you need to make one yourself. The way that look was achieved is that there are no actual visible icons on that bar, instead they made a .png of a bar with the text where they wanted the icons to be and then used transparent icons to actually place the shortcuts. I believe SonnySekhon has a bunch of docks like that in his theme thread and you can pick and choose one. If you can't find a transparent icon, I'll post one later but I'm getting ready to leave in a few minutes so I can't do it now.

Here is a little something special from me, i think it will help you in re-creating that home screen, its an invisible icon. Just run your mouse over it to see exactly where the pic is. Its hard to see cause its invisible . Plus a drawer icon incase you want it.
I really like it, nice look.

For the few that may have any problems with the original apk here is the new (signed genie apk) optimized one!

Hello, no you do not have to be rooted to install launcher pro. I like ADW ex it seems more intuitive but launch pro is good too. Hope this helps.

Thanks. The idea for me is to have everything on one screen and with Launcher Pro, you get the extra screen (notice no borders) and the widgets can be resized.
You do not need root to install launcher Pro but keep in mind it is not designed for tablets so some tweaking of the settings is necessary. There is a thread on this already I think in Xoom General forums which covers this.
Also, the background is using the Live Aquarium live wallpaper. I have not noticed any lag with Launcher Pro or this live Wallpaper as others have reported. It may be because I only use one home screen.

I know, still a theme though, i have a proper icon pack with individual icons in the works but i only have around 100 for that, there's a free version with 50 already on the store, i just need to build up my icon collection first. I thought that icon masks would be better to start with because i don't really know a lot about coding.
Looks good! It's always great to see a new themer/dev around here. I do agree that an actual icon is better than a mask but then again I don't even know how to do that! Stick with it:good luck ?
