Hello ...
i was using my iPod touch and i got used to the iOS layout and then i bought SGS which i totally LOVE and totally LOVE android ....
but that black background in the menus is just ,.... BLACK and i hate it .....
i know if i change the ROM this can be changed but is there anyway that i can change it without using that ...

I agree... but do you know what doesn't hate the black background? Your battery.
I have compensated by putting even more black in so it's more consistent.

My wife has an iPhone and can't make it a whole day without a charger. My Nexus One is older than her iPhone and can almost make 2 full days. The iPhone battery isn't complaining about anything, it just isn't worth a crap.

Not feeeling the battery icon... But the theme is worth (swype) the battery meter off, so I'm about to try the first release. To see what it do. And one more question... Do you have to hard reset your phone and reload it to get a clean load (Is what I did) or can you load on top of another theme and be cool (was running Androdena_Glassia) I'm a noob when it come to Driods, use to have a PRO2 so things are a little different. Thanks
Very nice. Thanks, man.

I suggest wiping cache and delvik catch before installing a theme. It is also good practice to install the rom again then theme so nothing from the other theme bleeds threw but you should be fine
Forgot the mention I'm working with raiderrep to get the battery icon in the first release to function properly

Not sure if anyone know this but you can download Launcher 7 to make your phone looks somewhat like win phone 7... not bad and so smooth
Not a theme, its just a launcher.

You can be pissed all you wanna be. You don't like your status bar flash a theme and your done.
Fyi: that app dosnt actually change the status bar. It doers what alot of other launchers from the market can do and just hides the status bar. The only difference with this launcher it has its own status bar.

I installed it just to see it and I hate it. Don't like windows phones at all.

The only thing I liked about this launcher was the fade out/fade in animation when switching between the home screen and app list. I am not a fan of the layout and inability to have widgets.
After the last update, it actually does change the status bar to look like wp7. It gets updates every single day. That dev is really trying hard. And its just about fully customizeable, you can even add widgets! Pretty cool imho.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I dont man.. as much as I don't like wp7 I'm kind of digging this launcher.. its my daily driver now. I've always used laincher pro or golauncher and something about this keeps me using it. Don't knock it till you try it
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g
Heres a quick vid of it running on my Epic .. Sorry for the blurry vid. my camera sucks. When you first install it its kinda of bland but you can customize it to your liking.

Its good, especially if you download the multi tile icons the dev posted on xda somewere. Its nice, I've been using for about a week now. I still prefer the android look over this, but its different, so I'm sticking with it for a while.

Hi everyone!
I'm sitting here and browsing themes and lockscreens and so on..
And now I'm wondering if there is possible to make my android phone (CM7) to look just like an iPhone?
Can you guys help me to collect all apps (SMS, Caller, lockscreen, bootscreen and so on) and maybe some cm7 themes that looks like iOS/iPhone so that I (and you guys) can make our android phones to look like an iPhone!
Thanks in advance!
Widget locker for the lock screen. Minimalistic Text for the lock screen clock. And finally using Launcher pro with custom dock and iPhone icons off the web.
Which theme from widget locker?

It's not available for my device.. (LG GT540)
if you want iOS and everything to look like an iphone... why didnt you just get an iphone?
Here's some help...
People do hate iPhones round these parts.
I have personally used all of them, don't care for them next to a properly equipped android device.
Though my unlocked iPhones never did drop a call on the USA T-Mobile netwrok.
Was gonna post about MIUI, saw that someone had mentioned already.
jordanzink: Because i don't like the iPhone, i think android is better but i like the look of an iPhone
scariola: yeah! okey, but thanks anyway!
THIS THEME WORKS Perfect.. looks WAY better then stock...
as a result i will now be doing a lot of themeing for our devices... so let me know what you guys want...
EDIT: framework-res.apk DOWNLOAD ADDDED AT BOTTOM OF POST
THIS IS STILL BETA... NOT ALL GRAPHICS ARE FINISHED...
STILL NEED TO DO draw9patch...
the only mods i have done are graphic skkinning... anywhere i saw turqouise i turned it cyan blue...
the battery icon when normally green is now blue...
the background of the notification area is dark.. thinking of turning it black...
the turqouise toggles in the notification are are now cyan blue...
any where there is a button press is changed from turquiose to cyan blue
this is what it should look like...
compared to old style...

Haha definitely a feature. I'm going to give your framework a try when I get home. Got to research android though as this is my first android phone switching from the iPhone. I haven't used XDA since back in the days of WM 6.5.
Never mind the carrier is there... I have XML coding. Experience but does anybody know how to edit XML binary iN android..

Tough call, that could potentially be really nice... but could also easily be garish and cheap looking if the wrong colors are used. Maybe if the two colors are very similar (like navy and darkish blue) or borrow from the same colors already on the screen (like the cyan blue of the icons and a transparent dark grey from the notification bar)? I think that could potentially be good, but it's hard to picture in my head.
Thanks for snazzier look!

That would be awesome. I should be able to use the icons with adw right? This is my first Android device, after switching from the iPhone. It feels great to be able to customize a device again. I used to be on XDA back in the days of WM 6.5.

Ah, I understand. IMHO you can't really go wrong. I'd probably pick solid black because I think it makes the scroll smoother, but the transparent looks nicer. The stock isn't my favorite but it doesn't really bother me too much either.
Your LP icons look nice with your tweaks. May I also have those files?

My guess is the gallery tile is draining battery because after I removed gallery tiles, the battery was a bit better but still sucks compared to the GO launcher I am using in terms of battery drain.
Nevertheless, still good job, it was fun to see people's response when they saw a WP7 interface on my friend's 7" Tab... haha
