Epic Desktop Themes

Lets see you Epic Desk tops. This is with:'ADW Launcher', and 'Beautiful widgets' with 'AirportOne' Skin.

Here's mine
Using manups text icons and launcherPro. Beautiful widgets small home for clock and set status bar to auto hide. New texts and email alerts show up on a counter above the text icons.
New baby so she is the featured wallpaper and mini icons right now.

Great pic. Would Manup's latest theme work? or do you have to wait for device specific builds?

When you do the 'swipe up action again the App Drawer Icon will be there. It's like a toggle.

Meh, I guess thats ok, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the whole glassy look of the launcher.

You should donate to him whenever he's done with the lock screen.

The Samsung Music player is extremely sexy, integrated with the notification bar, has a great ui, and a 5.1 channel surround sound virtualizer.

Oh wow. Then I think I will join the brigade

installed it, so far so good, love it. thank you

Great post everything working great. Hope the rendering of the google search widget gets fix as I tend to use that a lot. Just a recomendation to others who are going to install this. After backing up and removing the original touchwiz.apk make sure you reboot your device if you do not you will get constent FC.

[Q] Is a theme the same as a Rom?

How do you install a theme?

No
A theme is GUI usually added to a launcher to access apps, setting etc on your phone. Android phones come loaded with a launcher depending on the maker. Samsungs usually have TouchWiz. Try downloading ADWLauncher in the Market and press the home button .. it will give you and option to use the stock launcher or the installed one. Once the launcher is active you can add a theme to it by accessing the settings. ADW has hundreds of free themes in the Market.
Cheers.

Copy the theme to your sd card
Rename it to update.zip
Power off
Start it back up in recovery mode(hold end and home keys)
Select apply update.zip.
After it DL, select reboot.
If you are just looking to snaz up your home screen just find a nice launcher and slap a them on it. What exactly are you looking to do?

[THEME] Honeycomb Theme

I looked around and basically just couldn't find a good honeycomb theme anywhere from what I saw so I decided to take matters into my own hands...I do like honeybread for CM7...but it was just not exactly what I was looking for. So I'm running on the ADW Launcher EX so anyone can have the exact same setup with no problems at all. The Apps+ icon in the top right I made with the SiMi Folder widget with a custom pic icon...the clock in the bottom right is the One More Clock widget from the market. My messenger/calendar/gmail widgets are all from the Pure Messenger and Pure Calendar widgets from the market. The bottom left icon I made with desktop visualizer and just have it linked to my current browser. The analog clock is obviously the Honeycomb clock FREE from the market. If you go into the ADW settings you just change the screen transition effect to Effect 1 to get the nice honeycomb like scrolling effect. I have gestures setup so when you swipe up on the home screen it pulls up the app drawer and if you swipe down it pulls down the notification bar...this way I can still use them w/o it ruining the honeycomb look. I also added the circle batter widget into the mix in the bottom left. My home screen is setup for constant landscape orientation and 10 wide by 7 high icon space...this was made this way just to make the icons and stuff where I wanted them too. You can't really use all of this space because the widgets overlap and it just makes it a pain so I don't recommend it. The other thing you have to do is download the free honeycomb theme on the market for adw...this is just to get the google widget that I am using. Also you'll want to download the honeycomb wallpapers app from the market...this is where I got my wallpaper from cuz it just looks the best in landscape...the one that comes with the theme just isn't that good if you ask me...both apps are made by the same developer. Anyways...here are some pics...I'm running this on my OG Droid with the MIUI ROM on it...hope you all enjoy. Just click on the pictures to look at them bigger and get a better idea of how it looks...I added them to this originally with them already full but the preview was cutting off the right side of the pictures and I just didn't want to chance it...please tell me what you think.
Here is a list of all the Apps/Widgets that were used:
ADWLauncher EX by AnderWeb - $3.18
Honeycomb ADW Theme by GFX Android - FREE
Honeycomb Wallpapers by GFX Android - FREE
Circle Battery Widget by Cedric Depoortere - FREE
One More Clock Collection Free by Xaffron Software - FREE
Honeycomb Clock FREE by juliojs - FREE
SiMi Folder Widget by hateman - FREE
Pure Calendar widget (agenda) by Francois DESLANDES - $2.06

hahaha...sorry man...i figured everyone would just look at the pics and if they liked then in order to get it all the same they will have to read it all anyways...wasn't really worried about what format all the information was in...the only thing that doesn't have anything to do with the setup is the first sentence of why i made this

so how did you get the honeycomb status bar?

i like it
but i hate how its landscape

ill make it more "portate friendly" if you can share the icons/theme elements

yeah the landscape makes it a little bit of a pain to use at times so i can understand not liking it that way...luckily you can make it portrait...just might take some tweaking...i've added a list of the apps/widgets that i used so that you can easily find them on the market...i would add links to app brain or something but i can't add links on here cuz i dont' have enough posts yet.
I'll also add the 2 custom icons i made for this...they aren't the greatest and i'm sure you could find better but it's what i'm using...there are only 2 custom icons...the apps+ in the top right and the icon in the lower left. I'll add them right away.

plumppp said:

there really is no status bar...the bottom right is the One More Clock widget and the bottom left is just a desktop visualizer widget and the circle battery widget...the original status bar i have still in tact...just have to swipe down and it pulls it up.
Also for everyone else i've added 2 more pictures that are the custom icons that you need to make it just like this or even to make it in portrait view...just click to blow it up and then right click/save as in order to keep the icon see through and not white in areas

If you're using the xda app, I usually have to use jpg files. Make sure shootme is set to take jpg pictures instead of PNG. Just open up the app and press menu -> preferrences.

squid try what blu3poptart said with the jpeg thing and see if that works...only thing is the 2 icon files i attached to this are both png files...so idk...i don't use the xda app to post anything...so maybe that is your problem like he says

[Q] ADW Open Drawer button not changing

I've seen demo videos of ADW where the Open/Close App Drawer button would change its icon when the drawer was open. Mine doesn't... no matter the theme applyed.
It's not a deal breaking thing, but I've always been curious as to why it doesn't work and if there's a fix for it...
For reference, see what happens here when the guy opens the app drawer at the 2:20 mark:
(I'm running Cognition 4.3, but it has never worked with the 2 other ROMs I installed... Never tested it on stock, though)

It doesn't work for me either. I don't think anything is "broken" it just had that feature at one point but all the latest versions of ADW launcher don't. Trust me I've spend many hours trying to figure this out too lol

I got ninjamorph but can't find the theme apks... Which folder are they in? Thanks

This wasn't even a feature before. It was just the home icon while in the app drawer. You could not change it. ADW lost this when it became possible to change the app drawer icon. Ninja morph will not help in this situation. If you want to replace the app drawer icon just use ADW and create a custom shortcut. I highly doubt that you can have the icon change to something different while in the app drawer anymore.
