Hey guys, lots of great packages here but the one thing I really want to change/get rid off is those crappy blocks which are used in the touch flow background.
You know the ones, the crappy ones which fade into the horizon that look like something from Tron
They look terrible and it seems you can only replace the home area with a background image.
Do any of the packages here allow you to change this?

guess the only way to do that is to change the theme using touch flo 3d config
anyone have a solution for this. as much as i like the blocks i want to change me to the same wall paper as my home page.
Please, i want to change that ugly wallpaper too... Touch flow 3d config "themes change" don't work for that.
I agree. Since ive changed to the Official HTC WWE 1.93 rom with .5 radio (better signal now, thanks for that!) I cannot change the background at all. In SETTINGS and TODAY the background image has been selected by clicking on BROWSE yet nothing is displayed.

You CAN change the Wallpaper on the homescreen by SLIDING to the SETTINGS Tab on the TF3D.
There is an option Wallpaper. This will change the Wallpaper on the HOMESCREEN only (unfortunately) and not on the other tabs
The BACK GROUND with in the Settings and Today menu doesn't apply to the wallpaper.
All the best.

I have changed the home page wallpaper. This thread referes to the Blocks on the other pages. I want them to be the same as the home page.

Happy to help.
I find it hard to believe no one has made an app to make the wallpaper apply to all tabs....why did HTC make it like this? Weird....
Im suprised as well. Changing the home page is nice, but i would like the rest of my tabs to look ince too.
still nothing?
can this really be that complex?
Have patience. There are people who are preparing Manilla editors.

Just because you have no clue about how to do this doesn't meant it's a good idea to insult peoples intelligence by implying its simple and they should have done it already. The reason it's not been done yet is not because theres no want, but because devs must first understand fully how Manilla operates, it's not exactly documented in a nice fancy API.

I was just wondering if there was any way to make a dock to replace the normal rosie phone menu and add buttons. I have been using dxtop which is my favorite because of the 5 button dock and didnt know if anyone else had thought of this.
Im sure someone else would use something like this. I know I could just use dxtop but then I cant use the rosie widgets right?

No DXtop won't let you use Rosie widgets. Someone asked about this with Launcher.apk before.
First of all it would require a complete re-write of the app, witch is possible with the launcher, but we don't have the source code to Rosie. Not saying it's impossible, but it's going to take even more work than the regular launcher.
How would you launch the app tray if there's no bar at the bottom?
The bar isn't nearly as tall as and icon and the text beneath it. This means it's going to have to push all the other icons up (which would be hard to code) and wouldn't look very good as they would no longer be equally spaced out.
Just .02, I wouldn't count on it ever happening tbh.
Ya I know you cant use it like that I was just thinking it could have a dock instead of the buttons and to bring up the menu you could drag the dock up or long press menu sorta like dxtop. Why do you say that you dont think it will ever happen? I dont know anything about coding but if they could replace the tray in launcher how hard would it be to do something like this in rosie? Would I be better off just using dxtop on hero and looking for widgets that I like?

You misunderstood my post. They haven't replaced the tray in the regular launcher, I was just saying that someone asked me about that.
The reason it would be easier to do this in the regular launcher is because we have the source code for it, we can modify it as we wish and recompile it. We don't have the source code to Rosie, so we can't do jack with it. Sorry, but it's pretty much impossible.
Oh ok I get you now. Do you think there its possible that they will ever release the sdk for rosie?

No, never. Sense UI was created by HTC, it's the selling point of the Hero, if they release the source code other manufacturers could ship with Sense UI. So they would loose the unique selling point and potentially a lot of business. It might be leaked some day (it's no secret that HTC's got more holes than a freakin' sieve), but by then there will probably be something more jaw-dropping than Sense UI
Ya, that makes sense I guess I will just stick with dxtop for my dock then. I really dont use many widgets anyway the only reason I want to use hero is for the flash browser and because I like the dialer and a few other things better.
does anyone know of an app/modification (metamorph?) that will allow us to "dock" some apps so that they are accessible in every screen?
not like a widget that pops up a carousel (like some apps offer)...
i mean more like the "star" of favourite apps/docked apps that is accessible on every screen in open home..for those of you who have used it
it's to the far right on every home screen, you swipe the star and you have like 6 apps (or so) accessible....
any ideas? thanks!
Anderwebs ADW launcher sounds like something you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645550
HelixLauncher also does this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683
I would have to say that Anderwebs launcher is quite superior to helix in performance, but they are both great launchers.
Thanks for the quick replies!
Helixlauncher almost looks like a home replacement from the descriptions...
I do want to keep my regular home app..since it has 9 screens
I just wanted to add the two main things I liked from alternate home apps
I.e., the app dock...and if I can find it, a way to "name" each home screens, on the bottom, next to the app drawer icon...
I'll test out the first option to see if it has an app dock without modifying my app drawer icon, hehe

Helix can have 9 screens too.
Hehe..thanks...but I guess I'll just stick to keeping my most used apps on the main screen and if I am on screen 9 and need to get to screen 5, I'll just hit the "home" button again, hehe
But I do have another modding question...I am kind of highjacking my own thread,hehe
is there a way to add the "dots" that indicate which screen you are on to either side of the app drawer icon? (Like screen 5 would have 4 little dots on each side?)
...or failing that, a way to label each screen? (Apps, games, etc...)
I saw one app that did this...but it had horrible reviews...so any app or personal way to modify it would be great...thanks again!
Definitely try out the ADW launcher... it has more customizer than even you would know what to do with!
http://www.jbthemes.com/anderweb/adwlauncher.html
it does look/sound good...
however, if you have to install it the same way you flash a rom, i don't think i can do it as my bootloader is locked...(telus milestone)
any instructions on the actual "flashing" part? the only ones i see is to change the zip file to "update.zip" and apply it from recovery mode, but it says invalid signature when i do that and then does nothing...
or can i just install the launch.apk file in the zip?
LauncherPro is faster than ADW.
It's just that you can't set your own app dock, there's one provided for you, it's shortcuts to Phone, Contacts, Messaging and the Browser.
Helix can have 9 screens too.

if you're looking for some serious customization, look for sweeter home on the internet. it's in beta (for like 1 1/2 years now) so it's not on the market but i had fun fooling around w/it. it's basically a home replacement app that you design yourself from the ground up. kinda steep learning curve at first but you can always download someone else's theme and keep it or even tweek it how you like. there's even forums too if you need help.

maybe i'm way off target, just thought it would interest you
thanks, i'll check it out...
but i wasn't originally looking for a home replacement..i had open home before (and this one might be better) and I just didn't like the "bulk" of having an extra home app
thanks again though, i'll still give it a shot, hehe

ADWLauncher has tons of extra features, and they're all toggle-able. If you don't like the dock, turn it off in settings. Want more screens? Settings. Want the Galaxy S drawer? Settings. Want the home screens to scroll faster? Settings.
hehe

but the problem is i can't find a way to flash it on the milestone...

I may be way off-base here but my wife is using "Open home" on her Cliq (because she couldn't stand MotoBlur's ugly UI) and it has everything that you're looking for: Number of screens, workspace labels, dock, dots, etc) and it seems like it's running OK on her phone. I know that it's a "replacement" home but it shouldn't be a problem on the phone with some spare RAM (i.e. any phone except for G1 and original MT3G)
Good luck.
I've spent a while now making new images and editing xmls in a few widgets that I like to use so that they would match the stock sense settings widgets. I've seen a few themed ones floating around the forums over the years, but while they looked like the sense ones, they never lined up with them on the screen, or had the right text, or matched in landscape mode, and it always annoyed me. So now that I'm done I thought I'd share with you all.
There are three attached:
Lock screen - toggles the lock pattern on and off.
Brightness - Toggles (and displays) your current brightness setting, at any percent from minimum to full, including auto.
Flashlight - turns on and off the camera LED to your preset brightness level with one click.
All I did was create the images and edit various xmls. I want to thank (of course) the original devs: Curvefish for making the lock screen and brightness toggle widgets (available on market), and user f3d0r on xda who made the 'beamwidget' for the desire and got me started thinking about doing my own. Also okolowicz for some help figuring out a decompiling issue.
These are very nice, good work!

Having trouble with the brightness widget. Keeps showing stock curvefish style. Any help?
No idea. Worked fine for me, two other phones I installed it on, and everyone else. I'll ask my usual question, what ROM are you running?
Using a rooted stock form3.70 EVO Rom (froyo). When I look into the apk, there are still curvefish widget images. Could this be the problem?
Noticed that the original images, icon.png and shortcut.png only show up in the drawable_hdpi folder. Perhaps these weren't changed as the mytouch 3g is a lower res phone than the EVO?
That's exactly it (and why I asked). These are for the espresso (hence the thread title) but would work on other 320x480 devices.
You won't be able just to move the images, as there are layout and text edits too, not to mention the smaller images blown up don't look so good. I do have ones made in hi-res for my vision, but again those wouldn't work well as sprint didn't do/get a true update to 2.2 sense. They left some rosie layouts and options the same as 2.1 and also the settings widgets, as 2.2 removes the 'switches' on the right in favor of a bar at the bottom that lights up when activated. Plus they are done to pay widgets so I havent distributed them. Sorry.
I understand. Is there anyway to get a working one? I'd gladly pay for it. Also, your older version, I got it a while back, works fine. It's the same as the new one except doesn't allow the selection of 'auto'. Since sprints 2.2 is messed up, as you say, could I use the one with a small edit or is it a huge undertaking?

What about moving the icons?
Hi,
Is there a way to re-arrange the icons on the status bar?
I love having the back/menu/home buttons up there but, for me, they would work much better if they were all on the left.
I've been poking around in framework-res.apk but so far I can't find the config for this.
Thanks,
~ray
PS: I'm new to vegan and the gtab but not to android or linux (and I'm also an SE). So I expect I can figure this out with a little nudge in the right direction.

Install button savior from the market and you can place another set of onscreen buttons on either the left or right side of your screen and adjust the height
Thanks. That looks interesting but, at the moment, I'd rather change the status bar icons, if possible.
Agreed - I have Button Saviour for now but it's not ideal...
I'd much prefer to have the icons moved to the left side of the notification bar as it is in TnT Lite...
Perhaps now that Vegan build has access to VS source (for TnT config) and the collaboration with CyanogenMod 7 source, we'll see more tweaks in the next Beta (RC?)
