I am very confused over which icons are which. I am planning to switch to Serendipity, but it's icon set is a bit confusing to me (among other issues, such as being unable to flash on this computer.)
I would like it to stay as close to Stock as possible like Perception, but the notifications confuse me. I think Serendipity may not be the right Rom for me...
What, pray tell, is confusing?
All the icons I chose are AOSP. Same as if you had, say, CM installed.
Sent from my Captivate.
AOSP? What is confusing is different ROMs have different Notification Icons and Themes. I just want to know what Perception uses so the next ROM I get I can use those. I am also curious to see if they are custom or if they are stock.
I know I can extract them or something, I'll try and figure that out later.
hey
Bumping this for information.

Android Open Source Project.
As in, the REAL Android. Not some hobbled-together piece of crap from Samsung.
I need more information. Is there, like a ROM of ASOP for Captivate? Or pictures so I can see the icons? I did see at the ATT store today that pretty much everyone uses different icons.

Google "AOSP". You'll find plenty.

OK, I know right off the bat that this is a dumb question, but I just can't figure out what the big deal about Espresso is. I've searched many, many times, but that just brings up people asking how to install it.
What I'm curious about is what's the big deal? What does Espresso bring to the table? Functionally, not cosmetically, why would I want Espresso on my phone?
Because if it's just a cosmetic change, people surely wouldn't be cluttering up threads so much asking about it, right?
It brings nothing but a newer looking Rosie Bar. I for one cant stand it and would prefer the stock Rosie to Espresso. Ive also grown to like the Droid Launcher...

OK, thanks.
That's pretty much what I thought, but so many people seem so very, very eager to get it within 10 seconds of a new rom release, I thought maybe it might add some actual functionality.
But if it's just the cosmetic change, then I agree, it's butt-ugly. Stock Rosie looks much better. Haven't tried out the Droid launcher yet, I'll give it a look. Gotta say though, I'm not sure about ditching Sense. It's not so much Sense itself I'm attached to, but some of the widgets that depend on it....
I for one think any variation of rosie is ugly, I prefer nexus launcher. I also liked launcher2, with the app dock. That sinistermashes dudes idea for a dock as a launcher was a kewl idea. Conservative and intuitive.

Neither the Droid Launcher or Espresso themes ditch Sense. They just change the look of the launcher bars at the bottom of the screen. All the Sense features and widgets still work fine with either of them.
I like the stock rosie or the nexus launcher, at least those tell you which screen you're on. The expresso doesn't and it's big... too much space taken up.
I don't get what the big deal is.

Mind directing me to a screenshot of the Droid launcher? I'm intrigued.
Can anyone tell me how to restore the stock rosie? I want that expresso gone.

I'll check it out. As I said, I'm not attached to sense, I just can't bring myself to get rid of a few of the widgets that rely on it.
That said, from a cosmetic point of view, I think Espresso is going about 10 years backwards from a UI design point of view. I also think the stock, Google developed Android launcher belongs somewhere in the Windows 3.1 league.....
Then again, I also don't understand why people give a crap about the lockscreen. I always just do a quick double click on the menu button and never see it in the first place.
Maybe I'm just not the target audience for these particular tweaks....

Id give up sense in a heartbeat if i could find a bookmark widget and email widget as nice as senses. And the full weather animations too.
I hear beatiful widgets has animations? Same level as 2.1?
So I have looked around for lockscreen mods for CM6 and I haven't found any. I know there are a lot for things like Fresh with the rotary lockscreen. Something similar to the following would be amazing:
Rotary with two buttons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670034
Rotary with four buttons:
http://android-themes.net/android-lordsmiff-woz-ere-theme-for-g1.html
Four buttons at bottom:
http://android-themes.net/android-plastic-silver-theme.html
If anyone has any information about this, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
I know some of these images are in our roms, cm6 roms at least. The 2 button rotary looks cool, I am gonna flash it BRB may take a few, might have to nandroid back LOL.
UPDATE...
Dont look good for the home team I got boot looped after the flash. I know some of the images for this are already in our roms, it would prob just need to be edited/ported over. I cant help you there, sorry. I would like to see the 2 button option if anybody knows how to fix this
Thanks

I figured it would because the framework is different for CM and fresh as far as I understand. Sucks

Yeah but it was worth a shot There must have been a idea to include these lock screens on cm6.1 at one time because the rotary arrows for the lock screen are in the current cm6.1 rom!
well, ive been reading around, and the current CM6.1.1 has the rotary lockscreen somewhere in the options. i dont want to use a sense rom just to get this super awesome feature. i would die without the notification toggles. so, if we can get the piece from the new source, then things will be good, right?

Not sure what you mean? Cm6 isn't sense based... And yes, the most recent cm's have the option to use the standard sliders or the rotary.
Sent from my 2.2 Hero
The nightlys have the options and Jaybob413's roms which is based off CM6 has this option as well.

Hey guys, I had a quick minute to visit xda so I'll point you guys towards this thread
It has TONS of different looking lockscreen mods.
I've been following it since the beginning of December, trying out more than a handful without any problems.
Hope this is along the lines of what you're looking for

no, i mean that the mods in the OP are for 2.1 sense based roms. im running cm6.1, and i dont want to go to the sense roms just for a lockscreen. i use the notification widgets too much for me to live without them now. but i was messing around in the cyanogen github, and i think i found some of the new parts for the rotary lockscreen... but i dont know what to do with them. i have little programming/system knowledge to this extent, so yeah.

Why would you need to do anything as the rotary lock is already built into cm as early as nightly 187? Unless you are using an older version, the option is in cm settings.

Hey, can anybody point me in the direction of a theme for any of the i897/i9000 roms (not CM7, MIUI, or AOSP) that is based off Windows Phone 7. I understand I can get Launcher 7, apps, etc; but I would like a theme.
I don't want a windows phone, so don't say "Get a Windows Phone if you want it" or anything to that regard, I just like the look.
Thanks in advance.
There aren't any for a non
Aosp i don't think. Maybe launcher pro or adw with a theme is the closest you'll get.
Why?
Why would anybody want a Windows theme on an Android? Just saying!!!

I didn't need a new launcher. I have launcher 7. I just needed themed apps/framework, but I decided to screw it.
Themed app icons? Or the entire app ui themed?

I wouldn't need themed icons when I said I had Launcher 7. I created this thread solely to see if anyone has made a theme, or could make one.
I know you decided to scrap the idea, but if you change your mind or someone stumbles upon this thread in the future (and the fact that I typed all this out and found all the links before I saw that you didn't want to do it anymore) I'll post this anyway.
I did this a few months back with some decent results. Keep in mind this is Gingerbread based as ICS didn't exist when I tried. YMMV on an ICS port.
I used MIUI with this theme. The project has been discontinued, but it may still work with more recent builds.
I used Launcher 7 (Free|Donate) but you may want to try out these apps which have recently become free. I have only seriously used Launcher 7, but previous versions seemed (I DID NOT TEST, this is just what it seemed like) to drain the battery a bit more than I liked. Again, this was months ago and not scientific and the battery "drain" was not serious.

I actually did that already lol, but I was looking for an i897 based samsung rom theme, but thanks a lot for the link to those free apps, I appreciate it!
I was wondering if anyone or why has NO one ever did anything with the PLAIN BLAND STOCK Icons at the bottom of every ROM that is available here and other places.
Meaning the Phone,messaging,app button,contacts,camera icons. Or maybe I missed something somewhere because i am useing ViperOne 5.7.0 and it still has the same OLD BLAND ICONS.
Is anyone or is there some where I can get replacement Icons that would at least look good with any theme.
No matter what Theme you do or install in you phone you still have the same OLD BLAND ICONS there.
This is just a thought . I dont mean harm or malace to anyone so do not take it in wrong context

Since you are on ViperOne there is a whole thread dedicated to theming the ViperOne ROM. three clicks you are there.
Here is a good thread for custom icons http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518899
As you look through the thread you'll see other members that also make icons
Hey guys and girls, i am new here but i wanted to post because i couldn't find anything on what direction i need to go in, here is what I want to do. I have a nexus 6 and I want the older moto X or moto E look, like the signal bars and the full icon setup wrapped in a rom based off older android or even kitkat but i want the original lockscreen I will post a picture of what I'm trying to do. Keep in mind i am new and have no clue where to start. I can dual boot my machine with Ubuntu or other flavor of linux if need be. Any information in the right direction would be great. Also just a heavy themed rom of lollipop would work but i hate aftermarket launchers.
To get this you will only be looking at theming. No drivers exist for this device that support the n6. Not impossible but would take a lot of development work that no-one would be willing to do.
After market launcher will be the only way to get that home screen

You're not really going to find a good tutorial on how to build legacy ROMs for a new device. Not to be funny, but the only asset that will help with this is a huge amount of android development experience to get a fully working legacy ROM. Probably more experience than most people at XDA have here. Its really a job for an expert.
This "theme" is all Google, nothing to do with Motorola. We have pure android and this is what it looks like. If you want to theme status bar icons, look into xposed modules. Surely some can do that for you.
