I won't get picky about it.
But particularly I believe a world of a lot of g1 users, root and non root would really appreciate a home replacement that allows the user to do the following.
Choose which apps to show in the app drawer.
And the ability to move apps out into the "add to home screen" feature that shows up when you longpress the home screen/menu-add. In a new sub section called hidden apps/roughly around there.
So applications to prevent theft on the g1 could be hidden there over being spotted in the app drawer.
:]
Just an idea.
It is a good idea. Should post it in the dream applications+games section Though.
A layered app menu would be nice...

I was thinking that since the hero widget can't be ported to a normal g1 someone could try to use Sweeter home's layer option for an sms type widget similar to the hero.
I think it could work out very well since you can add layers and transparency.
An option to hide the apps in the tray would be nice!! I'm down for that.

Haha I know! Lately I've been bothered at having a very long app drawer, and apps like Photovault, password storage apps,and other not so commonly used apps would just fit beautifully in that new folder I'm suggesting.
I'm trying to keep this thread alive with hopes that a dev will see it and take the challenge so keep this thread alive :]
If anyone could do this, it would be the folks over at Better Android (OpenHome). In my humble opinion, they have the best home app on the market. You should forward this request to them!

I would like to, but half the time I've ever emailed better home they've done nothing but send me minimal short dissatisfying responses. But yea I use Open Home/have bought it.
Currently running Cyans build with the a hero theme or some widgets works fine enough with me.
But idk I think A home has a better go about things like this.
And of course Sweeter home is my favorite.
Yeah not sure why folders in the menu havent been figured out yet...I was almost sure someone would have cracked that missing feature long ago...
i would love a folder app or a tab app to put in the drawer,
you can hide icons, or make a whole tab of just games.
also, i wish there was a app that would lock icons on the main screens.
so nobody can move the icons unless you activate them.
anyone get my drift?
Better Android Says:
That's a good idea, although 'hiding' apps from the app drawer wont provide any securities because they are plenty to launch an app once you get pass the lock screen.

I sent him back an email saying that it would still help to weed out duplicates (like having a shortcut, and in the app drawer). I didn't get a response back on that one.
I would like to see this though.

Yea if we made a larger up roar about it and got more emails to the betterandroid guys they'd pretty much have to do it
Ive just made something like this.... you can "throw" away the application shortcuts from the app drawer and "restore" them using an added menu..

Haha rogro82 beat me to it.
I was gonna link his thread, but i guess he already linked his own.
Maybe you should provide screenshots and more details.
Thanks!
MY 2 cents
So far I love the suggestions and it sounds great.
Have you seen DxTop? I used it for a while and loved the one swipe to any of the 4 screens, maybe something like that. Maybe the ability to add more or subtract screens.
And always keep it fast.
I have heard that there is a mod that allows up to 10 screens, but I haven't found it yet. Please PM me if you know what mod I am talking about.
Thanks.

retske - Just so you're aware, the app that rogro linked to just a few posts above does all those things without needing to install bloatware (except for the "1 swipe" thing...what's a tap or 2 more?).
Is there any chance someone could port the theme found here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745854 (I am a new user, can't post links)
over to the eris. I tried to see if it would work without changing anything and my phone got stuck in an endless boot-loop. I am in love with the theme. Thanks.
If you know how to mess with the sering and stuff with your computer I think the maker of white widow says how he got it to work on his rom in his thread, I might be wrong though.

The only thing working for me are the widget themes. When I try flashing anything else it puts my phone into a boot-loop, and the only way to fix it is to go into recovery and do a restore.
You do need Launcherpro plus to get the widgets, then applying the theme to them should be no problem.
If anyone was able to find that "simpltext" doc them please let me know because I searched on the makers website and found nothing, thanks.

This happens sometimes. What you need to do is go back into Metamorph and choose pick existing theme. Scroll through till you get to the XML file and tap that and it should give you the choices to theme which app(s). Thanks to RangeStang for giving me this pointer. Hope it helps you too.

asking for it is weak, but 10 pounds isn't that much. if you were to cut the cost between 3 or 4 people it would be relatively cheap, make everyone's devices look super clean, and save someone else the hastle of trying to port.
i really like this theme. what i'd LIKE to do is speak to some devs who have experience modifiying Sense, etc. (e.g. Konikub, the original dev for Aloysius). Sense with a modified Rosies and the full Minimal Matte theme throughout all Sense apps would be badnasty.
seriously, i think i could go to a bar, pull my phone out, and have sex with the best looking girl at the bar as a result.
usually a phone won't get you laid, but in this case it might!

haha... nice... i'm sure we have enough people that want it and would donate a little here and there... I'm trying to find out if I can accomplish this myself first... there is a theme converter in the Android development section and I'm seeing if can be used... then I would share of course!
I don't get it, I used the minimal matte MM and got everything except the icons (which is fine by me). What ROM are you using?

the MM doesn't skin the Launcher Pro Plus widgets... that is what I want the most of all from that theme... i got the framework from the MM(except the status bar didn't work...) but i really want those widgets...
wasn't able to port it correctly.... sorry.... going back to the MM... that seemed to work the best for me...
I haven't tried pushing the apk's yet... so thats my next attempt
has anyone else tried pushing the widget apk's and if so, did you succeed? If you're using Apps2SD where do you push to?
Hey, I'm having a similar problem. I found a CM6 build for Eris, then used MM to put on the theme since it wasn't working on my KaosFroyo ROM.
I have the status bar and notifications working great with it, but I can't figure out how to get the widgets and the icons.
UPDATE(4/3/2012): NEW Pandora ICS Now Available! Get it Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24410421#post24410421
VERSION 2.2 IS HERE. BY FAR MY BEST WORK YET!
NEW BLUE 2.2 First attempt and completely different Check it out in POST #22
Now let me start off by saying this is my first attempt at anything like this. So please go easy on me people...What we have here is a Bionix themed pandora widget. I am currently using this widget and I believe it looks great under the google search. Below are three screen shots and the APK. For some reason after altering it, the apk can only be installed in system apps using root explorer you then have to manually change permissions to rw-r-r, then reboot. This is the most up to date pandora. Make sure orginal version is unstalled before installing this. I thank you for your time people and please leave me some feed back and let me know how I have done... ... O and big respects to Som and all of team whiskey your roms are the Best!!!!
V2.2
-Removed border around widget skin
-Changed all widget icons to have a more 3D feel
-Pandora logo also has same 3D feel
-Changed watermark to more of a true gingerbread green
-Also changed checkmarks to a glowing gingerbread green
This as stated above is by far my best work. Please feel free to browse the pictures, leave feedback, spread the word, and more importantly enjoy!
Dont forget to hit the Thanks button if you like my work!
V2
-changed pandora logo to dark grey
-changed all highlighted when touch icons to green
-greyed out the thumbs up and down checked
Also will be starting to tackle other widgets in the very near future, please feel free to throw me some suggestions.
*Edit* Work has been consuming much of my time lately, Facebook and twitter widgets have been put on hold. When time permits I will once again be actively tweaking. Bare with me people...
Thanx... looks nice

Im not the most fimilar with adb. I know there threads that will tell you the exact phrasing to push it to systems app. Astro wont do it. The easiest way for me was root explorer. The exact steps for using RE is in my first posting. If you follow those steps you should have no problem. Let me know how things work out for you.

I Just tried V2. Nice work, I like it.
May I suggest revising the widget to look more like the Bionix-v widgets, as in no rim around the edges?
Ever considered doing the same for FaceBook or Twitter?

Thanks alot. Hopefully more people will download this and enjoy it like you. Honestly it took me quite a few hours to tweak everything just right. Orginally I was just gonna take the border off like you had ask, but after about 10mins of playing with it it ended up turning into a hole big project...lol. Anyways I have some really good ideas for the facebook and twitter widgets. I started exploring the files tonight so once I figure out where each file goes and what folder effects what image I will begin altering. Again thanks and and keep checking back Ill update time frames for releases in the OP as they get closer...

What are you looking for blue? Just the icons and markings or the background too? Also what type of blue? A sample would be great, just post me a link to something themed blue that you use. Get that info to me and i'll see what I can come up with
The blue I'm talking about is the blue in the Darkhorse theme blue. Here's a sample.
Would like the blue logo and blue background. If that's cool
Ok... Im gonna be playing with the facebook widget for the next few days. So this weekend is when ill get to your blue request. Check in on this page on Sunday. I should have something nice for you...
I have been downloading some live wallpaper and can't install them. I don't even have a choice for live wallpaper. I have 3 options for Wall Paper Go Wallpaper - Wallpaper Gallery - That is it. I have no live choice of anything. Did something get deleted, can I down load a program I am missing from Live Wallpaper. I have Launcher Pro installed.. Any help would be great. AT&T Captivate
are u on a rom? i know one of the ones i was on didnt have the option.
If you are on one of my roms chances are you will need to get the live wall papers.apk and livewallpaperchooser.apk. The name might be off a bit but its something like that. I remove them as I build for speed and battery life.

i too would love the face unlock but i think it is due to the non working camera once that works i think it will be added???!!!
I also highly recommend root explorer for anyone who is rooted. With some things, you can manually move them into the right place instead of flashing.
I also recommend the paid version of rom toolbox from the makers of the liberty rom. I don't recommend it for the themes, but the ability to easily change your task bar. the paid version allows you to change the battery icon, 4g icon, even the color of the bar without having to tear apart certain system apps. For a novice, that is handy, and for those who already know how to do it manually, it just makes it easier.
