Homescreen background on all Tabs?

Doe anybody know if this is possible? Now I only got the background on the hometab, but it would be nice if it is shown all the time... A quick search didnt do the trick for me

id also love to be able to do this, anybody have any clues??

Yeah i would like something like this too.
Maybe even an option to have a different background pic on each tab, so say i have a Dark Knight pic on my home page behind the clock an stuff when i move across to say settings for example i could have a different pic there instead of the plain black with the squares underneath!

bump, the more ive thought about this today the more i want it!

/signed =)
Looked in the files, but have't found a way to do it :\

Me as well, did a quick look around the picture files and was hoping that it was just a normal background picture, but I had no succes as well :S

well i assume it wud jus be a case of replacing the image of the grey squares wherever that file may be. for having different image per tab would probably need additional software i would assume. then again, im just guessing. gonna keep this thread open because this is something i really want on my diamond

I'd also love to get an answer to this.

This is not possible till now.
If you use the search, you will see, that it is not possible to change any graphics of touchflo3d till now.

Lol, that's exactly what I assumed. The 'till' made me think twice, but getting back on topic. I'd love to have this also.

another vote from me also. this would be a nice bit of customization to have..

Sorry that may bad english confused you all. I meant: It is not possible at the moment.

Hi.
Anyone knows if it's still not possible to change the background on all of the tabs?

This would be a very cool feature

it sure would! And I’ve seen a lot of people asking for this feature, so I’m surprised that non of the diamond experts has figured out how just yet.

sushilange and D-MAN666 are figuring this out right now ...
They are developing an app to change the manila files...

APP drawer orginizer?

My girl and i both have G1s. Her phone uses DXtop and is not rooted. Her DXtop has the ability to orginize APPs in her APP drawer. I have been looking everywhere and cant find anything that alows my rooted G1 to do the same. Is there anything out there that can manage APPs in the drawer on a rooted G1 running cyan 4.0.4?

Advanced launcher is a home replacement. I'm interested in a theme or application that is not running over my original home but allows the APP drawer to be customized. Besides, it also states that it is not usable with Cyan 4.0.4. Any other ideas?

its not a home replacement like dxtop....it actually replaces the one you have
did you even read the op properly?
I'm confused by myself. So here's the description: u17 ist still the old version for cupcake releases. There is a standalone and a replacement. Both are for cupcake based builds.
Then there ist v2.0.1. It's the new version. It's for donut based builds. And it's currently only the replacement version, standalone will come.
So don't use v2.0.1 on cupcake based builds (like cyanogen's 4.0.4 stable) and don't use u17 or u17_replacement on donut based builds (like the cyanogen experimental branch).

i.e........ u17 is compatible with 4.0.4 but not donut
read the op and use the replacement version instructions to fix up your build

yesterday i spent 3 hours debugging another teams program. they had 6000 SLIC and it crashed on run time. I figured what the hell, im up for a challenge. well the whole program crashed because of one letter
fliers instead of flier
both flier and fliers were valid so it compiled fine but crashed when it was run. the exception being thrown was nowhere near (in a completely unrelated class) where the error was and the debugger on eclipse missed it completely.
turns out, the guys made bets on how long it would take me to find it. (i beat all their wagers. i told them to give me the pot or id report their asses. see, im super productive XP )
because of that diversion, i didnt get my team to finish their project so i made them stay after xD

LOL. Yea one lil letter, number, space, or character and that throws everything off. I've had to go thru line by line studyin everything to see whats been wrong and after awhile everything just blurs together. Luckly I'm workin on a couple different projects that use arbortext which makes everything alot easier. But there's those times arbortext messes up and its back to lookin at the code in text pad or word pad and wow you already know how that is.

[Devs] Can I hold your attention for a minute?

I see a lot of porting and creating being done such as Hero roms, Blur, Pulse, and everything else we can get out hands on (and I'm thankful for all of it)
But I was curious if we could make mixture rom with a little bit of everything.
I really like the Pulse's Canvas 3x3 home screen display
And the Behold ii's Notification bar with shortcuts to the wifi,gps, etc.
Hero's this
Blur's that.
Etc.
Would if be too much of a mess with framework and odex's files to mash into one rom?

Highly possible, and very easy... All you need is the source code to all the ROMs you are mixing.... So let me reword that - Highly impossible, and very hard.

EDIT: WOOHOO POST 1000

It might be possible but I think we'd struggle to fit it on a g1 anyway.. By the time you've ported all the neccessary framework to support everything, I think you'd be way past the 90-odd meg we have to play with.... and that's assuming all those packages would play nicely together in the first place.. I'm not about to try it.

And that, dear boy, is why your updates failed. Past about 92 MB you exceed the system allowable update size. We haven't gotten an update that installs directly to the ext yet, although we could do it that way...

In all seriousness, though, get an update.zip to mount the ext before install and you could put the apps directly on it and just symlink the folder temporarily for first boot, then let the system remove and recreate the link...

That's true. I think we really have something here. Perhaps this thread could become a think tank for getting 100Mb+ roms working. Yes? The only thing is... we don't have a 100Mb+ rom to work on... Hm...

there's a rom floating around here that manages something similar, it's a hero rom with hero apps and the blur launcher with some mixed anims and visuals, a personal favorite of mine, you should check it out, I think it's by diaztradeinc, but I'm not sure, I'll look it up and let you know

So edit the update-script and set the symlinking on the firstboot.sh?

format everything lol
we could format the whole g1 and add the stuffs that we need
or format a 2gb and up sdcard to ext3-4 and put everything on it
I was planning to that. I was trying to put all files from the g1 hard drive to my sdcard but ran out of space. In theory it is possible but you will need a very motived dev to do this.

I think this was the one, but now that I saw it, it looks like this one uses a rosie skinned like the blur's launcher. I remember I had seen another one that actually used the blur launcher on the hero apps/framework, I'd need to dig a bit deeper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567122
oh, and, honestly, even if we had the source for every single release, I'm very, very sure you still wouldn't see some sort of mashup rom. Why? think about what has been done so far with the available source from android? Other than a few modifications to Launcher, mms, phone, and settings apks (and stericson's lockscreen mods), there's been very little done from the code. Why? because most people here don't even know java. Having the source would still be useless to most people here, let alone actually making something out of it. So, actually, in the mean time, it seems that if this is going to work, the way it's going to be done is the easy way, the way it's been done up to now, just mash things together and force them to work.

Nah, that wasn't it. Most (all?) of drizzy's roms were a joke anyway. I have the rom somewhere in my computer (did I mention I have like 30 GB of roms that I've downloaded? basically, if it's on androidspin, it's on my computer too), so I'll look for it.

To be honest guys I don't think space is a problem at all.
While everyone is going around asking if the g1 will get the 2.0 update I'm very confident we'll be running android 3.0 on our g1's eventually we'll just need to figure out a way to put it on the sd card which I'm sure we can figure out.
It's a shame though, I was hoping we should manage something like that.
A home replacement that uses the Pulse's canvas
Some editis to the notification bar.
Etc etc etc.
But I guess it ties into what someone said about not knowing how to write in the specific code needed which is understandable.

Not yet...since ive been here reading and following along (+ testing ofcourse ) for over a year now, people have progressed amazingly here! More and more are starting to figure out that this is something we all should invest in. Give it more time, more people will learn or come through that are genius coders.
Down the road I absolutely see people writing their own androids, like linux is now. Distributions (or highly modified current builds).
Sort of how hero changed everything, we had the basic one tab at the bottom, then all of a sudden this came out and we had many tabs and new interactions.
Anything is possible with this, just give maybe another 6 months, but def. a year will bring some talent through. Just hope the g1 holds till then

I did it

Thank You All
I took the plunge this morning and decided to jump in with both feet,and am now running the custom rom Cyanogen 6.0 RC-1 recommended here. This is a blast,and nowhere as difficult as what I thought it would be (believe me though..I was sweating bullets when I hit enter )
Without all the good information here I don't think I would have ever been able to do this myself.
I don't know what to do next,but it seems like everything,including my [email protected]& red haze on my camera is gone too...I am real happy camper now
OK guys..what to do next now. What should I download and install on here since it's a clean slate.

Glad we could help -- that's why we're here
Well, don't feel like you NEED to do anything next. But I'll offer a couple general suggestions.
1) Browse around the Themes and Apps section. There are lots of cool themes, apps, mods, etc. that you could add that provide even further customization and additional functionality. Also consider browsing around the Development forum to see if you might like to try any of the other ROMs out for a bit.
2) Think of what else do YOU want your phone to be able to do? Think of some things you'd like to see out of your phone. Then start searching around here, or in the Market, and see if such an app/mod already exists or if someone here is working on it.
Basically, you don't NEED to do anything next, but just know that you can do plenty of exploring here for all kinds of stuff, and you now have the ability to customize further.

There's nothing to really do next because everything is all user preference. I would suggest you download Titanium Backup from the market and backup all your apps+data so you don't lose anything if something goes wrong. Also, do nandroid backups prior to make modifications to your phone. What I did when I first started was just read, read, and read. There's so much to do and the members of XDA are very supportive. Welcome to our world. LOL

Step by step?

The search feature and Google are really a good tools to use here and on the web.You will be pleasantly surprised at all of the information you can come up with.
Now..a step by step guide to rooting my phone..No..like I said..I am still not 100% comfortable doing this yet,and I just don't feel I am qualified enough to explain the process to you..sorry
I will give you some good advise though..RESEARCH RESEARCH..and then RESEARCH what you are wanting to do to your phone..before you do anything at all. I spent a whole bunch of hours reading everything from here and elsewhere just trying to get a good idea of what to do before doing anything..and you should too.
1) Figure out what exactly you want from your phone and decide then before you do anything.
2) Take a look at all of the different Rom's that are available and what each offer you, and while your looking at them and reading about them you should be looking at all of the issues each have and decide if you can live with them before you do anything.
3) Use the search feature here and Google. You'll have hundreds of hours of reading at your finger tips to digest. Sure..you'll have more questions then answers right off the bat,but keeping researching and you will most likely find enough stuff to help you understand the process enough to jump in eventually.
It really isn't difficult to root you phone anymore nor is it difficult to do a nandroid back up but you need to put forth some effort to have a basic understanding of what you are wanting to do and what all the terminology means.. Sorry if this sounds condescending to you, I'm not trying to be in any way, but this is just some friendly advise from one newbie to another.
4) Once you got a good idea of what you would like to try,and a basic idea of what the terminology means, then get comfortable hooking your phone up to the computer and see what happens on it.Look up here or elsewhere what it means to do a nandroid back up..and also backing up a sd card to your computer..Look at what it means to wipe the data and making a partition on your sd card. Once your familiar with all of this...then go look at the universal 1 click method to root your phone and then also look at the guide to rooting your phone via the a terminal that is posted on this forum and what has been said about both of them. See what your comfortable with. Now once you done all of this.. go look the instructions each of the chef's give with their Roms, and see if it starts making sense to you or not. You will need to follow these instructions word for word to make it work right the first time you try this....same for using the long way to root via a terminal too..
If you do your homework and still can't figure out what it all means..then in all reality you really shouldn't try it..at least not till you at least understand it..This is how I did it..and my suggestion to you is to do the same. I know the terminology is strange and it may seem overwhelming at first..but if you spend enough time researching it,it will help you in the long run.

You are now on the slippery slope of obsessive tweaking!
I was just like you...sweating over taking the plunge. But once I put my toes in the water, it was all in all the way!
I started with CM6 RC1...after a couple weeks, I flashed CM nightly 9/7 and saw improvement. Just yesterday I flashed Darc's #14 kernel. AWESOME... more speed....more zippiness. I LOVE my Hero
Don't load up a bunch of crap. You don't need task killers and such. I did pop #2 for SetCPU and run my Hero very nicely at 729mhz. Can you say "zing"?

I believe the only way to get rid of blinkfeed at the moment is to use a different launcher. If you use sense your stuck with it. You can make it so it's not your homepage though.

Thanks for the reply man. I did move it all the way to the right just to get it out of my way lol. But with only 5 screens (im use to 7) its kind of a waste of space. Theres other stuff i could use that screen for. If i knew where it was located maybe i could decompile, remove and recompile. Thanks for the response man,

You're welcome That's really my only problem with this phone. Even though I am starting to get used to it and use it more, I really wish HTC would have made it optional instead of forcing it on us.

Have you gone into the settings and enabled other sources? I hated Blinkfeed until I realized you could get stuff from all sorts of things like mags, websites, sports, news, etc.
But yeah, third party launcher is the only way to "disable" it.

Maybe a dumb question but, how can, orcan I remove this screen. Its of absolutely no use to me. Ive looked in settings, tried long press. Is it one of those things im stuck with like it or not ? Thanks

It's not possible to remove blinkfeed from sense. The person who said you have to use a different launcher is correct.

I'd echo the note of using a different launcher. If you are particularly fond of the Sense launcher though, you can always add more home screens and change the default homescreen to point elsewhere (say, screen #3 or so). Blinkfeed will always be on screen #1, but you can ignore it this way.
Of course, many alternative launchers won't work with Sense's widgets, so be sure you're aware of that before you make the jump to any particular one! I do believe I saw that there was some work on hiding blinkfeed, though; unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's a simple fix.

Yeah, its literally embedded into the launcher...its hard coded in.

Have you tried setting it up for your interest? I thought it would be annoying at first and was very annoying for the first couple days and almost installed a different launcher. Till one day I started messing around with it and now I use it daily. It's nice to be caught up on what's going on with technology and science without having to search the web for the highlights. Saves a lot of time.
I get this question a lot working at sprint. Customers come in all the time asking how to get rid of it. Instead of showing them different launchers I show them how to set it up and they all walk out happy without wanting a different launcher.
This is something new and very exciting for smartphone owners. But I do agree it would be nice to at least have the option to remove it for the people that buy a smartphone and only want to make calls with it.

Google+ and Flipboard are far superior tools if you're looking to keep up to date, but for casual reading it's pretty hard to argue with something that's built in.
