[POLL] What kind of live tiles would you like? - HD2 Android Themes and Apps

After posting my app (WP7 Android Launcher), I've got some suggestions of implementing live tiles.
While this might not be an easy process I'am willing to give it a try.
Please let me know what kind of live tiles would you like and what do you mean by live tiles (for me alive tile would be for example a weather tile that would update it's info on a 1h.. or so fixed interval).

Weather is a must. I would also like to see contact tiles that rotates to status updates, photo album from flickr-sdcard-facebook album, maybe even a tile that lets you update your status by directly typing into one of the tiles kinda like motoblur, a calendar, maybe a folder tile that would open a folder so we can have like a game tile and a favorite apps tile.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I like to see, atleast, the contacts as live tile. Now, it would blow away WP7 if you could make the photos tile live as well.
Thanks,
AzN

1.) Weather Tile that updates once per hour
2.) Dialer Tile that turns red when you have a missed call
3.) Message Tile which turns a different color when you have a new message.
4.) Gmail Tile which changes color when you get an email. [If you can make it so if you get an email with a colored label, it turns into the color of the label, etc, ie red for work, yellow for starred, etc etc etc]

if youre looking for a major challenge id say attempt to make a tile that could be similar to sense ui's friend stream, maybe the messaging tile could show the unread count and pan to the latest unread message and then back, and maybe a calendar that shows a few recent entries, (the friendstream tile idea might only be usable if the feature of expanding tiles to take up more than one tile-space could be incorporated, which would be a nice feature regardless of live tiles) but overall you have created the best wp7 launcher ive seen i even bought one of the crappy ones from the market and your version is MUCH better, thank you for allowing me to convince everyone that i can dual boot wp7 and android and switch at will in a second or two btw

I've implemented a basic notification system in the latest build. Doesn't change color or anything but you'll get a WP7 like count next to the tile icon for missed calls, received messages and stock mail (the mail didn't test but should work)

Twitter please

Phone status:

Airplane mode

One tile what has all this would be great, also having it open to an app that can easily flip these on and off would be great.
thanks

[SLIDER] [UPDATE:19/JAN] Classicflo Slider V2

It's been over a year(?) but i've been working on this for the past few days, and.. here's an update!!
To all nrg rom users:
Use classicflo_slider_v2-nrg_beta.cab
In the classicflo slider v1, nrg roms did not display the upper image. I don't know why this happens. To counter this, a transparent backplate is utilized.
I have not tested this on a nrg rom yet, tell me if it works
If you encounter any problems: take a screenshot + write a description to post here or pm me.​
Thanks to
LukeTurner93
ThaDSman
for testing way back when
Hello all,
I've created a slider for sense/manila 2.5 based on the classic monochromatic icons from touchflo3D 2.0.
Todo:
=====
icons to add:
- call history
- manila tv
- facebook
- gps
- change week day preview color
- update all images to cleaned up 256x256*
* other than facebook and call history, the icons may still appear blurry as they have not been 'properly' fixed up as of yet
Changelog:
=========
v2
- added utopykzebulon's call history tab icon
- added netdrg manilatv tab icon
- add meltwater's facebook tab icon
- adjusted some icon positions and sizes
- calendar icon better supports newer manila
- preview icons are now 256x256 in size
- transparent sliderback support for nrg roms
similar to pamas's transparant (Glass) Slider here
v1
Icons include:
Home, people, sms, email, internet, reader, photos & videos, music, calendar, stocks, footprints, recent documents, twitter, weather, programs (not pictured) and settings.
Enjoy!
install instructions (for any .cab file):
=============================
i. uninstall any previous custom installed sliders
1. download the .cab file and move it onto your phone (via activesync) or to your microSD card.
2. use a file explorer program and navigate to where you have placed the .cab file
3. double-click the .cab installer to install. click "ok" or "yes" if required.
installation done!
I've always loved this style, don't know why HTC strayed away. Thanks for sharing.
well i like it
do you have this silder
very well done thanks for sharing it

No, sorry i only have the classic htc one. i think the one you're referring to is made by a carrier - so the image files would be pretty hard to find.
If there are any issues, post them here and i'll try to troubleshoot!
thank you very much for posting this consistant slider. its like the finishing touch of my GTX screen.
Thanks so much man! I've been looking for this for a long time...
Thank you nice to have the "classic" slider
nice! thanks
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice slider, thanks !!
by the way, would be possible to reduce the size preview icons we can see its a little sharped because there are big. and the sms tab icon would be more aligned with the slider (the black square behind)
I suggest this because I like very much your slider !
Brilliant, thanks so much for making this - the new Sense slider is so tacky: like some have already said here, I don't know why HTC abandoned the super slick version...
How can I install this??
Say, I'm currently using a different version of this slider made by Zitoun - only problem I have with it is that the calendar tab's preview icon has the date out of alignment. Does this one have that issue? If not, sign me up, the TF3D iconset is so much nicer than Sense.
Can you make a Facebook tab!? Please!
lippa said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes...
Also make call history icons please??
Edit: The calendar tab would probably look better if the day of the week was darker than white. Also, I haven't used the touchflo interface previously, but is the selected tab supposed to be blank when you're on it's page? In other words, when I slide and stop on a tab, the icon is hidden by just the blank grey tab slider. On the new Touchflo interface, it shows the icon as selected essentially, which is kinda what I prefer. So this may be a bug on my phone with this addon, or I may just be unfamiliar with the old interface...
Thanks for your work though and if these above things are addressed, I'll run this permanently. Currently though, it's not quite where it needs to be for me to run it daily. I'm running the Tmobile HTC LEO with latest EnergyRom.
facebook and manila tv
It is by far the best slidericons collection but:
with facebook and a manilatv icon its even better
So if you could be so kind...

Really nice, better than the default slider, but I would like to report some bugs... if this is the right place to do it...idk
First I noticed on the HTC Rhodium Verizon CDMA version, running latest EnergyRom Jul 24
The Slider does not have an image for whatever tab you are currently on, Its just all black.
And the Calendar shows the date all out of line...
Any chance you could add an icon for the GPS tracker tab?

How to install:
Install new ThrottleLauncher
Just replace your throttle launcher folder with folder from my archive)
And rename Widget folder in your ThrottleLauncher folder just to disable the stock widgets from my theme!
Enjoy hope you like it, should work with all resolution.
But you need powerful device to run it smooth.
Great thanks to Fireslave, pth6, JerryA for their great work!
Sorry for my bad english
You can check original theme by Fireslave here!

Download:
Awesome work man!!
Very impressive, downloading now!
Edit: WORKS SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH!!
Not tested all tiles yet, but basic functions very smooth - tiles animation works fine!
I will edit the post as I go along testing. All I have done is copied your 'Throttle Launcher' and replaced my original one in Programs. Then restarted my TL. I was using Fireslave's one first, but din't delete it. I presume by replacing the folder, it effectively would have deleted Fireslave's theme? :s
And what should I rename the 'widget' folder to? :s
EDIT2: Functionality - Good, better than other themes.
Graphics: I personally don't like tiles - I prefer them without gradient, 'The original way' -anything I can do to replace them? :s
Speed: Very good, smooooth as I said before
Stability: No hangs, no freezes yet.
Issue:
1)With change in tiles, Not all of them changes - Calender, Player and Weather stay as default.
2)Weather: Fonts overlap each other if the city name is not as short as New York i.e. London, United Kingdom is over lapped by -1C
3)App widgets - if I try to remove or edit programs, it goes to a black screen and never returns! I am soft-reseting phone by pulling the battery out and will update if it does it again! - YES IT DOES IT AGAIN! Is it fixable? :s :'(

I replaced tile colour to original but it din't work as you might have presumed. The big tiles don't change colour as you said, so it looked nasty! Also, many tiles that are for widgets, din't change colours too! I am working my way around it. If it works, pictures will follow!
I was using Segoe, so that makes sense for weather, I will remove those fonts and try again for weather.
I am using Toshiba TG01 - WVGA - couldn't resolve the issues with 'App Widget'

Try to add for 1 widgets to that folder and you find which widget dont work for you)
in my omnia 2 happens same thing tha happened with fireslave's...the blank box in hub name and descriptions...can i solve this???
I'm sure I know the answer but, do I need HTC Sense installed to use this or do I just need throttlelauncher installed (have it for Fireslave's version) ?
I built a custom rom and removed Sense, I really did like it but I had tons of problems running some apps/games, never mind the memory hit it created.
Edit: Attempted to run it, just hung there, I assume it does need Sense, it would not run on my TP2 without Sense on it, Fireslave's runs great on mine.
Hello. Not working on my wm6.1 Omnia 2 . bad instalation procedure, perhaps? i've already checked the video. GREAT work, by the way
working great on cdma touch pro. buttery smooth.

[APP] New WP7 Android Launcher project

UPDATE
For personal and financial reasons I'll temporarily discontinue uploading new releases of the 7Launcher project.
The launcher is not dead!! It will either be incorporated in the WP7Android Project or it will go payed/donate on the market in the near future.
I'am working on new features and and improved overall stability/quality. Already implemented Live folders & tiles, improved stability and drag&drop mechanism. When it will be re-released will have social network tiles, contact tiles&live folders and more live tiles.
A big THANK YOU to all that took an interest and tested this project and my apologies to those who still love the 7Launcher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys.
Not so long ago I've tested some WP7 Roms and I must say... I was quite impressed with the new windows mobile looks and feel. Simple, elegant and yet functional (didn't expect that from Microsoft ). Of course it will still be a while for the first daily usable WP7 Roms (battery life is crap) and quite frankly the only thing i'am not happy with in current Android builds is the e-mail client. On that side, WP7 is even worse... I'mean fewer options that in the stock android client.
Anyway, like I've said before was quite impressed with the WP7 looks. I've searched a little and found some beta apps on the market that bring the WP7 launcher on the Android phones, but none of them worked quite right for me. So, I've decided to cook my own...
The app doesn't have to much features but I've built it for my own needs and taste.
Features (for long click on apps list or tiles):
- Pin/Unpin tiles
- Uninstall apps
- Exchange tiles position (just chose Move tile and then Move here)
Options:
- Change wallpaper (the launcher background is black, but it's useful for the lock screen wallpaper)
- Use built in icons for some apps or use default app icon on the tiles
- Change the tile color
- Reset tile color to default
- Chose between opaque and transparent background (uncheck this if you want to see the wallpaper)
The app seems stable enough for daily usage. Only tested it on my own HD2 and ADV emulator.
Landscape mode might not look so good on your display.
To replace the original launcher just clear the launcher cache and defaults then press home button and select this app.
Please let me know what you think.
Starting today the releases will have build numbers (ex. 01,02....)
21.03.2011 (beta 07-1) - quick notifications fix
21.03.2011 (beta 07) -Available now
* Added Drag & Drop support for re-arranging the tiles. Long Click on a tile, release and move around... Drop it over another tile to switch places, drag it outside the left screen border to remove it. Needs serious testing
* Added weather tiles background support. It's not as complicated as it might seem... just puts a picture under the weather info depending on the current conditions. I love the way the SlideShow tile looks like and made an improvement to the weather as well.
* other fixes
15.03.2011 (beta 06-1)
* Added SlideShow tile. Well, it may not be a slideshow but it randomly changes pictures from a given root. If u click on the right-top corner of the tile you get the picture preview.
* minor fixes to weather and launcher app
!! Important: I recommend clearing the launcher data before starting the new version. Until i find a way of modifying the db without a wipe. Please give feedback about stability
14.03.2011 (beta 06-0)
* Modifications to apps core
* Added the possibility to have multiple weather tiles with different locations (same update interval)
* Added StickyNotes - post-it like app & tile. Just add the tile on the tiles screen and click on it to change text
* You can use multiple post-its by adding a new instance of the app to the tile list. Each note's tile can have a different text which can only be modified by clicking the tile itself.
* Added 3d/shadow effect for tiles (not visible on default black background - see new Screenshoot)
* minor fixes to weather and launcher app
!! Important: I recommend clearing the launcher data before starting the new version. The new version uses a different method to keep track of tiles.
10.03.2011 (beta 05-2)
* Fixed weather tile and app (again ) Now it should update even in standby. The previous release didn't update data if the app/service was paused...
08.03.2011 (beta 05-1)
* Fixed weather tile and app
* Added night weather icons !! Be aware: because Google API doesn't provide Sunrise/Sunset info, the night mode is set between 11PM - 5 AM
* Made some modifications to tile notifications
07.03.2011 (beta release 05)
* Rewritten UI redraw procedures to support double tiles
* The landscape mode has 4 columns instead of 3
* Option to disable auto-rotation
* Added live weather tile - to use the tile install the Weather app, add it to tile screen and activate the service form the menu. The life tile config and forecasts are done in the Weather app. If u don't install the Weather app you'll get stuck with my home city forecast and 1h update interval!!
* Other minor fixes
!! Please report any UI bugs attaching a screenshot of the problem. Some users may experience text display problems. I'am having a hard time to adjust the font size because the default varies from build to build.
25.02.2011 (beta release 04)
* Added the option to change tile text color
* Added tile notifications for missed calls, messages, email (should work for stock mail) - disabled by default, you can enable it in
the More menu. Needs testing!!
* Other minor fixes
24.02.2011 (beta release 03)
* Added some eye candy animation to tile redraw (tell me if you like it)
* Some minor fixes
23.02.2011 (beta release 02)
* Added the possibility to theme the tile icons. How does this work? Well, it may not seem like much but i like to keep things simple. The app adds a WPL folder on your SD card. Inside you'll find a folder named Themes.
To make your own theme, just create a sub folder in the <Themes> directory and name it as you wish. This will be your theme folder. Now add icons to the folder.
Important Notes!!!
- The icons must be named like this: tile_<app name>, where <app name> is the application you want to use a custom tile icon for.
- The icons are 175x175 transparent PNG files (didn't test for other sizes... might work, might not)
- The <app name> is case sensitive. Ex if you want to replace the tile icon for calculator then <app name> = Calculator => /sdcard/WPL/Themes/<Your theme>/tile_Calculator.png
18.02.2011 (beta release 01)
* Implemented the auto-rotation. Now the app auto rotates on a custom procedure. Might not work well for everyone (awaiting feedback)
* Modified the transparent background method. Now you have the system wallpaper, even if it's a live wallpaper!
* Added new color picker (full spectrum). A big thank you to Yougly for posting his code (http://www.yougli.net/android/a-photoshop-like-color-picker-for-your-android-application/)
* Added the possibility to change apps list text color
* Lowered the Min SDK req to 8 (let me know if it works). Warning: some features might not be available in older SKD's.
* Some other fixes..
PS: Be aware!!! It's my first Android app... I'am not responsible for any damage or problems you may incounter.
looking good, downloading...

Like i said in the initial post mate... there are two apps on the market that i know of, but didn't liked them.
This is my own implementation.
I'm looking forward to what this project will become! If you manage to capture look, feel & smoothness of WP7 home screen on Android, then you're app will be brilliant. And with extra options (and high quality) it can even be oponent to LauncherPro or ADW.Launcher!
very cool ! haha ...
Thank you so much!
doesn't install for me
works like a charm, also the behaviour is almost same as WP7. really like it, and I'm looking forward for next releases

Hello!
I took your launcher for a test drive and was impressed. I have written a very detailed review at my blog that you might want to read. It also includes a wish list of improvements that'd make it even better and more usable in my opinion. Here is the review: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-windows-phone-7-launcher-on-android/
Oh and one thing that I didn't mention in my review (to avoid getting you negative publicity) but would like to bring to your attention: I experienced a few Force-Closes when changing the screen orientation by tilting the device while I was messing around with the options. Can't manage to reproduce it intentionally but it happened more than just once. Other than that, it runs pretty slick on my Nexus S. Kudos to you!

WOW!!
Thank you for the great review (didn't expect that ).
I'll look into all the things mentioned in the review (as long as the time will allow me ).
The double tile option is indeed hard to implement as the tile management is done within a GridView.
The live tiles and notification would be possible but it would take on more memory. Personally i don't find any other use for them beside looks. I've left the android stock notification bar default on purpose. I love its functionality, and didn't see any point of reimplementing a notification system as long as the stock one works just fine But as mentioned above, i'll look into all the requests.
This project doesn't aim to be a WP7 clone. My goal is to implement the best of both systems, meaning the WP7 looks with the Android great functionality.
Thank you again!
PS: The FC on auto-rotation happens with shake like movements due to save/restore procedures. I hope this will be fixed soon.
How to install on HTC desire HD?

great.
good job

Buen trabajo.
Genial
mate, your application is simply wicked. working well on my unit and haven't had a crash or a freeze. a friend of mine has a mozart and i must say your interface is a good contender. HQRaja's review is spot on and i'm looking forward to the next release.
Nice, but I had to uninstall it. As you said the battery drain is very high. I'll come back to it as soon as you fix that. Thanks

[THEME] Lacuna42 for Throttle Launcher - DEVELOPMENT ENDED

After a lot of work and testing Lacuna 3.0 by myself and Trekfan is reborn as Lacuna 42.
You can view a video review of the theme by actionboy here
This theme is released as is, there will be no significant updates to it following this release.
I will however offer a service whereby if you are willing to make a donation I will help tailor the theme to suit you, changing layout, adding additional weather detail, adding additional pages etc.
I have given up a lot of time to produce this theme following its original concept by trekfan who has gone the way of the little green robot so if you like my work and cannot donate at least please say thankyou so I know my work is appreciated and I will continue to come up with new ideas for as long as there is a need.
This Throttle Launcher theme requires version 1.2.1 to be installed and supports full screen 480x800 wallpaper in jpg format.
The homepage from top to bottom features :
a hideable interactive taskbar.
to activate/hide press on the battery icon.
you can toggle the bluetooth wifi and sound profile from the taskbar by just pressing them.
two sizes of clock accessible from the throttle config window.
next appointment accessible by pressing on the clock itself.
the blue icon to the right of the clock is programable
you can assign any quick launch app to through throttle config
notifications for new texts missed calls and emails
current weather condition icon complete with temp and location
app launcher page activated by pressing the icon in the bottom right when on the homepage
The friends page starts with your favourite contacts followed by and add and remove option followed by a full list of all remaining contacts.
The text page shows the last 20 messages recieved with the newest at the top.
The messages page shows similar for a specified email account.
CHANGELOG :
03 June 2011 :
Due to Google screwing with their weather api I have had to modify the theme to use the current condition text instead of the originally numbered icons from the registry. There are several new conditions for which I do not have icons so I have for now recycled existing ones. When a fuller set is made available I will update again.
Please download and enjoy.
The below screenshots will show you in detail what can be changed in the theme via throttle config.
Screen 08 & 09 show the default programs catagorised under Objects.
The majority of settings don't really need any explanation
the clock size is either normal or large
If you change the default sms app from tmail please untick sms default
do not change sms param as this is required by ther program
only one mail account is used in the theme so ensure only one is selected
Screen 10 Weather
Here you can specify the location
units in centigrade or fahrenheit
autoupdate if required should be ticked
if autoupdate is required please provide a period in minutes for the update to be performed
Screen 11 Background / Text
The select path option is used to specify wallpaper.
There is an initial choice of two dark and one light background in the default folder where the theme is installed.
The Background colour is used to specify either lgiht or dark by selecting
0 for dark or
255 for light
The font colour should then be set to the opposite.
under no circunstances should you change anything in the section Here Be Monsters as it will cause the theme to break.

Did u watch on my wallpaper i posted you? I think this is TL problem, but in other devices it is not problem, si idk. I just have to use the one color wallpaper.
Anyway, i love Lacuna
I thought I had replied to you on the development thread, it is the same for me and I cannot understand why when other more complex wallpapers I have used since all work fine. It is something odd with the blending between the black and blue?
And thankyou for your kind comments
I tried blend between the red -black, but there are stripes too, anyway, i found nice wallpaper and it made lacuna more awesome for me So stripes aren't problems for me anymore . (I finally see the top bar transparent )
But, if I wanna let this theme on mobile, it should be more "settings friendly". What I mean? I mean, if I want connect to net via wifi, and in my location isn't only one wifi signal, i have to go to menu, scroll down to windows/samsung setings and there i can connect wifi where I want. So, what about do it like this: If u touch wifi on/off in top bar, it will be on/off wifi, but if u hold that icon for a while, it will launch wifi settings . Do I want a much? I know, it have to be usable on every phone, but owners can redirect it to their own locations (i mean the scripts)
I know I am annoying
Your not, your request is valid but there is no long press in TL see here.
I could change things so it will either toggle or open an action but that would require a major rewrite
Hello,
Have anyway to put an youtube video about this theme?
Thanks.
I dont have a way of recording it myself no but if there is anyone that can please PM me and I will send you my email address so you can send me the video to upload.
nice theme
love the theme, so sick.. but when you go to send a text and have to deploy the keyboard, TL always has to reset! major flaw cause some of the TL themes are so cool, just NO stability
Sorry to hear that, I wouldnt be using TL if it did that myself.
Are you using the latest version 1.2.1 from within the TL forums?
Also are you using the theme as a today plugin?
If you are try disabling it and running as standalone.
Of course, it could just be an issue with the rom you have been using if all the above is correct.
yes 1.2.1... and if i use it as a today plugin, it has to restart, and if i use it as a standalone, the "unnexpected error please try running again" pops up
hmmm? hardware acceleration disabled?
no, it just doesnt want to go in landscape mode, i have a TP2...
This is a portrait only theme and if hardware acceleration is enabled, try disabling. It isnt needed for this theme anyway
no i know its a portrait only theme, just when i go to slide my phone keyboard out to text, it puts my text program into landscape cause it has to, then i send and close the keyboard then exit out of the text program to find its restarting.. i even tried messing with the regedit to make my phone never go into landscape mode, but its a pain and no fun and eventually fails
I used to have a wizard and a kaiser and this didnt happen on either device when the keyboard was deployed. This is either a rom or phone specific issue. Afraid I can't help with that sorry.
yeah no its all good... there needs to be a way where there really isnt a landscape mode it just projects on the landscape screen the same way it would on the portrait way, it would look CRAPPY but still be able for you to do it...
and like this theme and the wp7 v2 fireslave, its cool cause of the seperate messaging hubs, i like that ALOT! and CHT doesnt really have that, and im trying to get someone to make that.. i cant code anything or do all that jazz
That is actually a good idea, creating the default landscape pages using the same code as it would stop it from crapping up when people use autorotate.
looks like there may well be a v2 coming soon

[APP] tileArt [R]- 21/10/2011 -[U]- 21/10/2011 -[V]- 1.0

There are a few custom tile apps in the marketplace, they do a good job. But. There is one thing they all do, they are all about functionality. Pin a website, pin a note, pin a reminder.
tileArt is about making your start screen COOL, making your start screen YOUR OWN!.
Take any picture, manipulate it with your fingers, cut it up and tile it.
Take any photo, cut it up and tile it.
Lets make our start screens TRULY our own! Tile a picture of the earth over 3 vertical tiles, Tile 2x2 tiles of your daughter (on the vid!)
Sneek peek @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzvQniGH0wI
In marketplace next few days!!!!!!!!!! SUBMITTED ALREADY!
!!!!FUTURE!!!!
We have big ideas for this. We are developing a website where you can design and upload you Tile designs, be it 1 tile or a collection of 2x2 or 3x1 (with 1 in the middle). You will be able to upload you designs to this website and our app will allow you to download and pin it to your screen. It will work a similar way to sharemyplaylists.com where people post playlists for spotify.
Now is the start of the WindowsPhone Start Screen Revolution......... Lets customize.
The site?
www.sharemytile.com
Watch this SPACE! but buy the app early and you will all get a special reward!
