Hey guys! So I was messing around today and had this idea. Ever since everything is going 3D, how cool would a 3D Stock app drawer be. So I messed around with Gimp and came up with something that I think is really cool:
NORMAL
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
TILTED
Basically this would work by the accelerometer. So when the device is held in a normal position the app drawer would appear in the normal 2D veiw but as the device is tilted thats when the Icons would appear to be 3D. A couple more features I would like to see with this is as your fingers scroll up/down the Icons would sorta gently "wobble" because they are being moved. Also a setting would have to be added to settings so that the 3D feature could be turned off.
You may notice these images are of the Sense 2.1 app drawer and in reality Sense 2.1 would not work for a base. It would have to be done on an Sense 3.0 Rom. I'm not a code writer and I wouldn't even know where to begin to make this thing happen or if its even possible at this time. If any knowledgable devs would like to step and help out I would really like that. This is MY idea. I produced it first so don't take it and try to claim it first without my permission. I want to remain part of this project.
So, what do yall think, is this possible?
that looks awesome
No offense but LOL!
I think it's definitely possible however I think you should reconsider the labels under the icons as they are very hard to read.
And by tilted do you mean actually physically tilting the phone using the accelerometer? I think that might work but keep in mind that constantly pulling data from the accelerometer might drain the battery a bit quicker.
I was about this with the desktop icons... I have 3D widgets, why not 3D icons?

Well obviously since this was just a quick rendering on Gimp it dosn't look as clear as it would as a final product. I'm sure if this really did come to be, there could be a very small effect on the battery. But who really cares? Sense 3.0 does a fine job of that anyways. And it really dosn't matter because we are learning new ways to control that and make it better everyday. What we are about is proving to the device manufactures that we can take there products and make them better than what they could or should have. I don't know about yall... but thats what I'm about.
All right. I submitted this idea to HTC. Lets see if I get any feedback.
A very very awesome idea.

Good idea. I've wondered why they haven't also implemented a 3d paginated app drawer, similar to the way rosie flips its homescreens. Seems like it would flow nicely, maybe make it optional.
Picture this: when you first boot the phone (or after reboot), you open the app drawer with this and the it slowly scrolls up with this: Brought to you by Wildstang (in fancy star wars font), the star wars theme plays, and then the apps scroll up under it. Awesome or not?
This would require that R2D2 boot animation and a star wars theme of course. It would be fun to make though.

Better yet If it came that way by default but you could add your own text if you wanted. That would be cool...
Yeah. I'd love to make a star wars Sense 3.0 theme. Guess I need to finally figure all that coding stuff out. Lol

if you can make a lite version without the adv. launcher and htc music, i will try this out in a heartbeat. also people without the 1.33.2005 spl may not be able to flash this because of htc music. i have noticed this problems in a few other themes with htc music.

Exactly.
Ti.. screenshots or gtfo .
^ took the words right out of my mouth
Screens so download it and sex it up on your g1.
not whining just my opinion, personally i would make the launcher tab a little darker (i can easily do that for personal use though), would shrink the garbage can some or delete it altogether, would delete the triangle on the launcher tab normal, not much else i can tell just from the screen shots lol. guess i will just have to give it a whirl (i will most likely remove htc music and adv. launcher though bc of personal preferences though). looks really cool and brought together, a really good mash up. looking forward to how this theme will look once you start to experiment with your own style thrown in (trust me if you keep at theme-ing it will happen).
Ya I have been toying around with and without the arrow and the garbage just needs to go. Agreed. Darker? I'll play with her private parts and see what I can do. The dark blues just blended to much. I like the color pop right up front. But experimenting always helps. Ya im not a good graphics person or I woulda made a lot of things different
Thanks though. I plan on making a lite without advanced and htc music. Also for 4.1.4 soon. And other roms as well. This is just my rough draft(it took me a week to get it out) cause I am a perfectionist and I kept thinking it wasnt good enough or ready but it wasnt fair to hog it to myself anymore. And i needed feedback.
Lemme know if you come across glitches and problems. Peace.
i will just wait until you make a lite version without htc music and adv launcher. i tried and messed something up. i kept getting acore force close. i think i botched removal of htc music and took a file i should've left.
So, this is for what ROM? Might help if you added that into the post & title....
please speculate as to the rom this is for?
Looks nice. Can you make the tab dark though?
looking good im glad to see my dialer in other themes
and blue does good for it
I just flashed it with Cyanogen 4.0.4. Worked fine. Looks nice just dont like the blue tab. Good job!
Thanks. Ya I really liked your dialer. I'm about to update it as soon as I can get this damn problem with the launcher worked out. It won't sign my updates right. With or without the launcher. I added the new settings apk stericson posted to rememedy to settings fc fix. That's when things stopped working ugh. Might just start over. Its ****ty. I made all the needed fixes made things darker etc. Ugh lol I am glad its getting some reponse. Ill figure it out tomorrow.

Hi
ok I am starting a LCARS theme for villain and would like some people to help me, I have done a test dialer to see how it looks and I think its got legs...
I want to do the whole phone and I mean everything, this could be the most complete theme yet.....
Ok lets start off, I will be making it for GSM villainrom, but will port once complete, this includes CDMA hero
I won't be checking this post that often so please check here and shout out.
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=457
or email me
[email protected]
I will check here as often as possible but villainrom and my job take up all of my time.....
I hope everyone like the idea and hopefully we can make a theme together.
I'd like people to contact me even if you've never made a theme before I can teach you as long as your good with graphics, the graphic drawing is the hard part.

i luv the idea, but just wish it was easier to change the UI so that animations would be resemble that of LCARS, similar to pocket LCARS on wisbar by neil strawbridge.

If this theme is good (not overly bright and true to the canon) then I will pay for it. I like LCARS interfaces but I have yet to find one on any platform that does Star Trek justice.

Hi
I'm not charging for any of my work just trying to do it for love....
But I am trying to get a few people to help out, at this rate, it will be a whole rom, instead of a theme! but slowly slowly.
I'm using a sample off of LCARS for the colours, which can be changed quite easy... just trying to get the feel together first.
What I really need is a really good Swiss911 font, finding it difficult to find, emailed the guy who did the winmo one and hopefully get some help off of him.
I'm hoping to get some more dev time later in the week to really start work, I also have some people who are making widgets and I have started on 15 of them.... just really need to know what bases people are using, I think it will have to be sense, and not ASOP sorry, will try to port at a later date.
Thanks for all your feedback and please email
[email protected]
if you would like to help out on this.....
Ok which is better top set or bottom set, don't worry about alignment or res, I can sort that out.
Also if anyone can work out how to get them closer? Without it crashing
Sent from a hidden tanker..... you will never find me
Go with the top set!! I like it
i'd say bottom.
You can reply on the other forum.
Sent from a hidden tanker..... you will never find me
I prefer the top one but I like the fact that the bottom set's buttons are closer together
man Im all bout any kinda support i can find for this...will keep eyes an ears open..bet!
Update?
Any progress after a year?
It was looking like it was coming together.
as far as I'm aware, he doesn't have a Hero anymore... and there has been no update on VR forums, I've seen. As before, most people find the standard launcher style very difficult to re style into LCARS. While I do not use this anymore, I found the best way to get the desired effect was using SweeterHome. However the app is in Beta (downloadable from website) and has been for quite a long time - thats not to say it hasn't been updated several times tho.... The Market version is really old too.
anyways I made this 1:
http://www.sweeterhome.com/boards/10/topics/2442
I did have the intention (and still got many of the edited apks for 2.2) to do a full conversion.... I just never got round to it....
Heres some others i like:
http://www.sweeterhome.com/boards/10/topics/2045
http://www.sweeterhome.com/boards/10/topics/2393
Do be aware that SH resizes all the images, I have always said themes for SH should be device specific.... mine was for the Hero.
Thats as far as i got
I really liked how Legend added a bit of color to the tabs in Music, Clock, and others. Then I found that Fresh added even more color so credit goes to Flipz and also HTC for the original idea. Your Lockscreen Arch, your launcher, and yours tabs will change, also I have only tested this on PlainJane2.0 so morph at your own risk

p.s. in xtrSENSE, the little green fob that shows which home page you're on STAYS green, but the launcher itself gets glossy. Looks sick!

Alright, time to flex those theming muscles.
I'm a gamer, you're most likely a gamer, and with both those conditions being met, it's safe to assume you are acquainted with Valve's masterpiece, the Portal Series. I appreciate and love the comedic and puzzling aspects of both Portal and Portal 2, and am excited to try to get a theme going.
The theme would probably get the biggest support for adw, free or ex. I personally am partial to AOSP ROMs, as are many of the themers/graphics guys.
Here's the running list of things to have:
• Bootanimation/Splash - DONE thanks to JamesC_
• Icons
• Icon dock
• Wallpapers (I think a cool idea would be to have alternative walls for widgetlocker and the homescreen, one with each color portal)
• Themed major widgets (start getting more specific with that later)
• CM Theme Manager or otherwise AOSP theme, including, but not limited to menus, notification bar icons, and a cute something on the notification panel
Possible icon sets:

http://gorganzola1.deviantart.com/art/Portal-Icon-174389446?q=sort:time+gallery:gorganzola1&qo=2
Any more suggestions/pledges/themers willing to aid their time please comment below, and let's try to keep it constructive guys!
Let's start with some Wallpapers:
http://biofall.imgur.com/portal_theme#5eUEr
Wallpapers fail to fit my phone, setting from browser only shows small portion. Setting from gallery lowers queality like crazy.
I was bored today and was looking for portal themes for my nook running cm7.
I will keep an eye on this thread and see If I can find anything to help.
Love the game so far.
I think with the wall papers you have to click the "download full resolution" link in imgur.
Not sure I like these, I would really like to see one with the look of "panels" from the game. I am horrible with graphics. lol. I usually have to rely on the kindness of strangers for icons and whatnot.
Here is a good set of icons:
http://lady-tima.deviantart.com/art/Portal-v1-0-1-75896888?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=8
I know its for the iphone, but it works.
I cant help but be inspired by this post also from Deviant Art
http://wistfulwriter.deviantart.com...e-192617498?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=14
would love it to look like the Level Boards....
HEre is what ive been working on latley, decent but could be better.
Looking for a battery widget that looks like little bars like on the level boards on each level in portal.

I made an unlock, lock, and shutdown sound i like it! hope you do too.
I too would love to see a portal theme for my Thunderbolt! I am brand new to Android, and am not willing to root my phone, so any help on installing a theme for unrooted devices would be great (I do have Go Launcher as well as Launcher Pro and ADW). OR, any help on creating my own would do just as well. Will keep an eye on this.
I already downloaded the wallpapers and icons, will play with that for a bit. Will also try Simple Text and Minimilistic Text see what I can do.
+1 on this idea. I love the idea of a portal-esque theme for my samsung captivate.. might try to toy around with it myself a bit too.. Will report back once I actually get some progress..
I have been using this setup with a little modification as my lock screen for a while. I think you'll like it as a portal fan.

First one to test I guess.. I tested this LWP on my SE Xperia Mini ST15i which has a mdpi screen. My first impression is that what i saw on your post is really what it looks like as a LWP. I thought it would really look like the plasma crystal ball thingy, when you touch those it would create electrical connection.
When I move or switch panels in homescreen and appdrawer the LWP pauses. I don't know if that's really how it works.
I suggest it would look like those plasma crystal ball thingy where at the center of the screen is a swirling small plasma ball then when users touch the screen it would make like a electrical connection effect. And maybe the users could also change colors or define where the swirling small plasma ball would at the screen or change the background not just black, that would be awesome! You can sell that at the android market and a make a fortune!
I hope this helps. Just try it step-by-step.hehehe.

It's a good start. I don't even know how to do those stuff. My suggestions were a user's/consumer's point of view. I'm also new to this mobile development, heck I haven't even start developing something. I just got my first android phone last month. Anyway I also tried the LWP on my default home launcher, launcher 7 and Go Launcher EX and it works. Though I can't test if how much it consumes battery cause I don't know how do those stuff. Also after unlocking the screen (I'm using Widget Locker) it won't start immediately, it takes a few seconds or when touching the screen to start the animation.
