[LAYOUT] Scrolling Wallpaper 'Dock' + Tutorial

ClassicalGas Presents..
Scrolling Wallpaper Dock
This is a repost from here as it is not HTC Desire specific. Everything should work on any phone with 800*480 resolution.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concept
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been experimenting with what I believe to be a unique use for the scrolling wallpaper. If using LP with 6 homescreens your wallpaper scrolls exactly one dock icon (1/5th of the screen).
I started playing around with using this as a screen indicator and dock icons to jump between homescreens using LPP Shortcuts. Shortcuts to all 6 screens are attached. I found you could effectively use the scrolling effect of the wallpaper in place of a screen indicator (although it goes the wrong way).
It takes a bit of playing around with the wallpaper to get it 100%. I've included a .PSD of one of my files, however the others aren't really in an up-loadable state. I've included all the scrollable wallpapers I've made as well.
I hope you get some fun out of this - If you do make something interesting and unique please post here to share it with everyone else!

Tutorial

I've had a few people wanting a tutorial on how to get the rainbow wallpaper set-up. Please keep comments and question in this thread, I would rather have questions answered publicly so they only have to be answered once.
The white bar is my own and is only available for OpenDesire, the rest of this theme requires the following and should work on any rom;

Launcher Pro Plus Settings​This give you the basis of the scrolling wallpaper 'dock'. From this I hope some run with the idea and produce their own wallpapers and themes
Homescreen Settings
Number of Screens = 6
Default Screen = 4​
Dock Settings
Number of Docks = 1​
Appearance Settings
Dock Background = None
Hide Icon Labels = Ticked
Disable Wallpaper Scrolling = Unticked​
Advanced Settings
5 Icon rows in homescreen = ticked​
Launcher Pro Dock Settings​
Position 1
Shortcut = screen_6.lps

Icon = Dock_Apps.png
Swipe Action = App Drawer
Position 3
Shortcut = screen_4.lps

Position 4
Shortcut = screen_3.lps
Icon = Dock_Media.png
Swipe Action = Audio Manager
Position 5

Apps Organizer​This is the free version, however I would recommend buying folder organizer as you can add bookmarks and contacts in the folders.
Create new labels;
Applications
Favourites​
Add your applications into the suitable labels. Favourites will be linked to the home screen banner.
Desktop Visualizer Widgets​Long press on screen - select widget.
Desktop Visualizer(Small)
All bottom row icons are linked directly to the app and inserted as a small widget​
Desktop Visualizer(4x1)
All Banner Icons are inserted as 4x1 widget and linked to Apps Organiser category - (Select Action > Other > Apps Organizer > [your label)​
Desktop Visualizer(2x1)
These are the larger icons above application, games and tools banners. Link these to whatever you like my setup was;
Controller - Linked to apps organizer group emulators
Tools - Remote apps (for HTPC, VLC etc)
Android in trolley - Appbrain​
Other Widgets​DigiClock
Inset clock as widget then in app drawer open "DigiClock Settings"

Show Calendar Icon = Untick
Transparent Background = Tick
Show Colour = Tick

Wow! Do you know if the same thing is possible with only 3 or 4 homescreens? Or is this unique to 6?

You need 6 to get it to scroll evenly. The way the wallpaper scrolls means that screen 1 and the last screen are at the far ends of the wallpaper and then each scroll is an equal division of the wallpaper. With 5 evenly spaced icons you need 6 screens. If the icons were evenly spread out and there were only 3 then it could work with 4 home-screens.
Alternately you could use 2 home-screens and have half a wallpaper on the other side.I was thinking of doing a heaven and hell theme with screen 1 light and white and screen 2 red and black. But haven't had time.

Hi, I really like your theme but I have no clue how to make the .lps files the shortcut.
EDIT: nvm, i found it. Had to place in sd card under folder called "downloads" then pick launcher pro shortcuts. Thanks for the theme

It's pretty dodgy cos I've got a crap camera. But here you go!

Wow, that's awesome, thanks for the video!

May I have but one request? I don't play a lot of games on my phone, but I use multiple social networking apps, is it possible to change the "games" tab to say "social"? And if there is a way that the user could do it, I'm all ears.
Love this idea and will be applying it to my set up when I figure out my request =P
EDIT: sorry, didn't open all the files, going to mess with some icon packs

Been playing around with this today, I couldn't figure out what it meant in the tutorial about the screen_6.lps? I'm assuming that if you apply that shortcut and hit it another screen it takes you too that screen, I just don't know how to apply it. Is that only in Launcher Pro paid version?
Have you had any luck on that Polaroid picture wallpaper, that's the best one out of all of them.

im about to make my own based off your black one ill post it when im done

heres my first attempt
it works pretty well on my vibrant

polaroid scroller
i know you said that the polaroid scroller (Probably a while away), but it would be nice to have. great write up and work. thanks.

This looks... awesome! Can't wait to get home and take a deeper look.

cant you upload the /sdcard/launcherpro_backup for us so we can just upload it and do what we like to tweak? It'd be a hell of a lot easier...

The game icons, angry birds, etc etc, can i get the pack? you editing them yourself? I checked the credits for the icons of eclipse, wasn't them.
do you have a link for those icons?

[APP THEME] Ginger Green Handcent

Apparently, I was thinking of a different app. This one is free so apk included now, just install and fix the settings to your liking.
Since this is a paid app, I am only including the /res folders in this post.
1. use adb or droidexplorer to get your handcent .apk out of /data/app (adb pull /data/app/com.handcent.nextsms-1.apk)
2. merge this res folder with the one in your .apk through winrar/7zip/etc (be sure to use STORE method so it does not compress)
3. resign the apk through APKTool
4. push back to /data/app (adb push filename.apk /data/app)
5. adjust settings: Use Dark theme, Hero skin
Screenshots attached.
This theme is based off stock and some ideas taken from this thread.
I have modified many of the images in the conversation list, bubbles, and the widget to blend better with my current color scheme. This is my first theme/mod so let me know what you think. Comments/suggestions/requests welcome.

Sure, np . i pulled this out of an older ADW apk and just tinted it a bit green. For those wondering how i changed it :
1. longpress an empty area on your homescreen
2. Custom Shortcuts > Launcher Actions > Open/Close App Drawer
3. touch the icon in the upper left corner, then find where you saved this one.
4. drag the newly made shortcut down to your dockbar
To change the regular dock icons in ADW
1. Create the shortcut (longpress, create shortcut, applications, phone or whatever)
2. click on the icon (top left)
3. find new icon through gallery
4. drag the newly created icon wherever you want it in your dock
If you're wondering about the dockbar its from EspressoUI (Nest w/Slide) theme available for free through the ADW theme gallery.
EDIT: attached the icons as well in case you wanted those. If you have any requests for icons you would like in that style, let me know and ill do my best to make something that will suit your needs.

Icons resize
IN CONTINUOUS PROGRESS:

I do have a MetaMorph theme, but GO Launcher's Menu (with icons such as theme more etc.) freezes open with it applied. Also, GO Launcher seems to uninstall itself when you reboot.

Really nice theme. Are you taking icon request?

Try the one on the market. It has rounded icons. Just search GO Launcher EX MIUI Theme
I will take some requests, but I also need the package & activity name
This can be found in Widgetsoid on market, > new widget > widgetsoid > shortcuts > application > tick box at top and find your app.

Neatly Nestor.

Icons are not a problem, go launcher gives you very good options for replace them individualy or in bulk. For example i use the default theme of go launcher but downloaded its clasic theme of miui look and i used its icons.
I also recommend suave icons they are very cool, i have them uploaded in my mediafire LG GT540 folder here is the link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?k694wv1en4g19
I will give this theme a try i really like the transparent bar. Thanks for share!

wow very nice i'll try it

I haven't got them all in, because it's a different format, so you have to get the package name and declare it and the icon png name in a text file. It's not just renaming pngs

- When i switch the icon for camera on desktop, the app title is cut at bottom (i think that the icon is too big)

[THEME][GUIDE] LauncherPro Ice Cream Sandwich how-to [UPDATED 10/19]

Hello and welcome to my guide on how to theme LauncherPro so that it looks like Ice Cream Sandwich, the newest and best looking version of the Android OS.
DISCLAIMER: I take no credit for any icons, launchers, pictures, or anything else used in this guide. Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Before we begin, here are some things that you will need to download:
1. LauncherPro, the free version or the paid version will work just fine (this guide is intended for use on LauncherPro. I have not tested it on any other launcher)
2. Desktop Visualizer - Click here to download it for free from the Android Market
3. Download these Android 4.0 icons, extracted from the SDK by l0st.prophet. Images by Google.
4. Download the Android 4.0 clock widget for FREE here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.icecreamsandwichclock.clock (Credit to developer juliojs) (This is optional)
5. Download the Google Search Widget image and App drawer icon at the bottom of this post. Add them to the folder of Android 4.0 icons to access them easier.
6. Download the dock background here: http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/928/hhhha.png
Add the folder(s) of images to the first level of your SD card / USB storage.
Steps:
Step 1: From your homescreen (while in LauncherPro), hit Menu, click Preferences, then click Appearance Settings. Choose Dock Background and choose Gallery if you are asked. Browse to the dock background linked above.
Step 2: Go back into the LauncherPro Preferences and restart the launcher. Your dock background should now have a white strip above the icons on your dock.
Step 3: Next, go to Preferences (by hitting Menu), choose Dock Settings, and then click Number of Docks. Set this to 1.
Step 4: On the homescreen, hold down on the 1st icon of the dock. Change it to the Phone app and when you get the popup to change the icon and name, change the icon to the Android 4.0 Phone icon, the big blue phone.
Step 5: Change the second dock icon to your Contacts application. Again, change the icon to the Android 4.0 Contacts icon.
Step 6: Now, the app drawer icon. Make sure the middle shortcut leads you to your app drawer. Hold down on the icon and click Change Icon, then click Custom icon. Browse to the proved app drawer icon.
Step 7: Change the 4th dock icon to your Messages application. Change its icon to the provided Android 4.0 Messages icon.
Step 8: Change the 5th dock icon to your Browser application. Change its icon to the provided Android 4.0 Browser icon.
Your dock should now look like this:
After you complete the dock, feel free to change more icons on your homescreen or change the dock to whatever you'd like. The above is only an example. Please note that this guide will not affect the look of your app drawer icons, only the icons you change on your homescreen. To change non-dock icons, remove the icon from the screen. Then, hold down on the screen, click Shortcuts, Applications, then choose the app. You then get the option to change the icon and name.
Now, lets set up the Google Search widget.
Step 9: Add a widget on your homescreen for "Desktop Visualizer 4x1" and click the box that shows up on your homescreen. When the options for the widget pop up, choose the icon button and browse to where you put the search widget icon. Choose the search widget icon. Make the "Select Action" launch the Google Search widget. Click the clear button next to "Label" and make the touch effect "None" and add the widget to the homescreen. (Download the Google Search widget picture from the bottom of this post)
Step 10: Add the Ice Cream Sandwich clock to your homescreen (optional).
Step 11: Go to Menu --> Preferences --> Appearance and uncheck "Show icon labels background". Restart the launcher.
Here's an example of what I did to my homescreen:
Step 12: Back up your homescreen settings and layout in the LauncherPro settings. The theming is now complete.
For an added ICS look, you can get the wallpapers from ICS by visiting the following link and downloading the wallpapers, courtesy of Android Police / P3Droid. Also, add other icons to your homescreen and change their icons to the Android 4.0 ones. Also, to change the icon of the app, you'll need to remove the icon from the homescreen, then when you re-add it, it lets you change the icon. Please note, this will not change the app drawer icons, only ones you CHOOSE to change on the homescreen and dock.
For the ICS lockscreen clock, check out this thread by xaffron: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310766

Ok, updated the guide with a new link (for the 4.0 icons, clearer and more of them ) and a new dock background image.

Here's a tip.
Rename icons by creating a shortcut by long pressing homescreen. Choose an app and a picture then rename

Just realized that, fixing that in a few, as well as overhauling all the steps.

Ok, added in the app drawer icon and the google search widget. Gonna re-type the guide now.

...and now the first post has been redone. Check it out!!

You wouldn't happen to have this wallpaper would you?

[HomeLauncher/Themes] lightning launcher - 05012013

Under construction....
All credits go to Pierre Hebert for an amazing Launcher and being an amazing friendly dev.
Lightning launcher has a new in built theme backup/sharing so I thought I would start this so we can share on xda too.
Themes are called templates and can be built into apks or shared as a backup file which just needs placing in the LightningLauncher folder on your sdcard or emulated SD card.
You must have latest LightningLauncher installed.
Get it here. free version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher
Also available is the LL extreme Version which is a paid app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher_extreme
The launcher has a new inbuilt template engine that can create,search and apply templates.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Browse existing - will lead to the play store apks that are available to download and apply.
Apply - will apply any chosen template which is present in your LL folder on your sdcard/emulated SD.
I will link to all my current templates on post 2.
Apks and Normal files included.
Apks need to be installed then applied, other templates will need to be placed in your LL folder which is auto generated by the app.
Once there all that's needed is to go to the apply option and choose the desired template, accept the launcher to create widgets etc when promted.
!! PLEASE NOTE !!
Device specifics may lead to some templates not showing correct. All my templates are made on the nexus 4 so may look strange on other devices.
Further info and screens are available on the LightningLauncher G+ pages.

So here come the explanation how to accomplish this theme
First the things you need.
LL Launcher of course https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5waWVycm94LmxpZ2h0bmluZ19sYXVuY2hlciJd
Uccw https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.customwidget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImluLnZpbmVldHNpcm9oaS5jdXN0b213aWRnZXQiXQ
The Uccw uzip files this include the weather and wallpaper, it also include the PSD for the pinup tiles and the wallpaper PSD

For other pinup files go to http://www.thepinupfiles.com/index.html#.UWzDI4n8J9A
You can of course also use other picture's or photo's instead.

LL Theme https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_CuFN5jCNftYnZfS2xkdHhPRDQ/edit?usp=sharing
I don't know sure if everything is packed in the theme so that's why I put everything with it and also a description how to accomplish this theme
Preparation
If you don't have Lightning launcher and/or uccw
Install them first
Unzip the uccw files and put them on your phone of course also put the wallpaper with it.
Wallpaper
This theme is for 1280X800, but because you have the PSD files you can adjust it to other sizes
Be sure only that you remember the sizes of your tiles because that will be importend in uccw.
UCCW
This you really have to check out when you adjusted the size of the wallpaper and/or tiles
Be sure that the background in the uccw editor have exactly the same size as the widgets (uzip) else you gone have trouble with aligning the widgets and also the hotspot of the widget will be very hard to get it right.
Lighting launcher settings
Current screen settings
Items>Text Display label off
Items>Icon Display the icon on, Enable reflection off
Rest of the Items no need to change
Wallpaper & Background> Display wallpaper
Wallpaper & Background> Select your wallpaper look up your wallpaper
Wallpaper & Background> Width 768
Wallpaper & Background> Height 1280
The rest of Wallpaper & Background stay the same
Behavior>Layout>Free mode on
Behavior>Layout> Dual position off
Behavior>Layout> Snapping none
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling>scrolling direction> Vertical only
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling> Scrolling speed 3.0
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling> Use scroll stops on
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling> Disable diagonal scrolling on
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling> rest of settings off
Behavior>Lost+found> Screen orientation > Portrait
Behavior>Lost+found> Hide the statusbar On
Appdrawer settings
Wallpaper & Background> Display wallpaper
Wallpaper & Background> Tint color (i made it black but you can pick what ever color you want)
Now the settings of lightning launcher are done and it's time to build up your screen
As you see the wallpaper have for the pinned widgets and icons (Weather, Time, Agenda, Frequent apps and missed) already aligned squars and there place
So that is gone be easy.
But first we have to put the pinup uccw widgets on there place because the alignment will be much easier.
Be sure that the hotspot of your uccw pinup widget is connected with the right app (if you have chanced it or in case i use a other app then you do)
Place the first one and go on from there it's a little hard to do but worth the effort.
When you have placed the first 3 the swipe with your fingers up or down to get to the top page or lower page to add the next 3.
When all this is done then add the pinned uccw widgets, you pin them by holding them a little longer then you get a menu in which you can pin them.
I hope you gone like the theme and it inspire to make your own or even better theme

Hmmm why is this thread so short? I'll try to share my theme later. Can someone link me to the original lightning launcher main thread? Can't seem to find it.

I can't really answer that but I must say I have tried L.L. a few times and found it very confusing to use, I'm sure giving it a bit of time will yield good results but it was just a bit full on for my liking.

Certainly not for everyone. If you're looking for a lot of flexibility in customization in a more traditional launcher try ss launcher. I use that on my evo.

LightningLauncher now has a new sharing method where you can browse existing available templates from the launcher itself.
This thread is old now and the method here is outdated, I will update this thread soon with new links to my LL templates.
