Hey everyone!
In case you haven't noticed, the Galaxy S and MIUI ROMs have the 'bounce back' animation, where scrolling doesn't just stop at the end of a list, but bounce to show you that you've reached the end.
Do you think it's possible to extract this from the Galaxy S or MIUI and if so, will you help me?
Noone got ideas?
If I'm interpreting your description of that feature correctly, that's been a part of ADW.Launcher for quite some time.
EDIT: I re-read that and saw you're talking about "lists", not home screens, so never mind.
I want that as well! Don't want to install MIUI, just the bounce scrolling.
supposedly the gingerbread update should bring this function to android.
Let's hope so, but I think there should be a way to extract it from a Galaxy or MIUI ROM?
UPDATE: The latest CyanogenMod versions have the feature implemented!
I'm glad they're working together with the MIUI developers now.
I've spent a while now making new images and editing xmls in a few widgets that I like to use so that they would match the stock sense settings widgets. I've seen a few themed ones floating around the forums over the years, but while they looked like the sense ones, they never lined up with them on the screen, or had the right text, or matched in landscape mode, and it always annoyed me. So now that I'm done I thought I'd share with you all.
There are three attached:
Lock screen - toggles the lock pattern on and off.
Brightness - Toggles (and displays) your current brightness setting, at any percent from minimum to full, including auto.
Flashlight - turns on and off the camera LED to your preset brightness level with one click.
All I did was create the images and edit various xmls. I want to thank (of course) the original devs: Curvefish for making the lock screen and brightness toggle widgets (available on market), and user f3d0r on xda who made the 'beamwidget' for the desire and got me started thinking about doing my own. Also okolowicz for some help figuring out a decompiling issue.
These are very nice, good work!

I have one request. I've noticed that the flashlight turns off whenever my screen timeout. Can you fix it so that it works even if my screen is off? Or can anyone who is reading this that knows how? Thanks.

This is a theme thread, hence the theme and app forum. You'd have to ask the original dev, or in your case find f3d0r's thread over in the desire development forums and request it there.

Not something I'm even remotely interested in. I find the sense ui far better looking than galaxy. Either way, this is not something that should be requested in here junking up my thread. Please take unrelated requests like this to the theme forum.

I agree. Espresso ui looks better than the Touch Wiz ui, but I guess that's a matter of opinion.

Having trouble with the brightness widget. Keeps showing stock curvefish style. Any help?
No idea. Worked fine for me, two other phones I installed it on, and everyone else. I'll ask my usual question, what ROM are you running?
Using a rooted stock form3.70 EVO Rom (froyo). When I look into the apk, there are still curvefish widget images. Could this be the problem?
Noticed that the original images, icon.png and shortcut.png only show up in the drawable_hdpi folder. Perhaps these weren't changed as the mytouch 3g is a lower res phone than the EVO?
That's exactly it (and why I asked). These are for the espresso (hence the thread title) but would work on other 320x480 devices.
You won't be able just to move the images, as there are layout and text edits too, not to mention the smaller images blown up don't look so good. I do have ones made in hi-res for my vision, but again those wouldn't work well as sprint didn't do/get a true update to 2.2 sense. They left some rosie layouts and options the same as 2.1 and also the settings widgets, as 2.2 removes the 'switches' on the right in favor of a bar at the bottom that lights up when activated. Plus they are done to pay widgets so I havent distributed them. Sorry.
I understand. Is there anyway to get a working one? I'd gladly pay for it. Also, your older version, I got it a while back, works fine. It's the same as the new one except doesn't allow the selection of 'auto'. Since sprints 2.2 is messed up, as you say, could I use the one with a small edit or is it a huge undertaking?

Actually I believe the flashlight one is available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676328 for hdmi devices and with the switch on the right, which should suit your needs! Hope that works for you.
SK-ROM Beta 0.3
This beta is now closed, as I am about to launch Magnolia RC1, the first release candidate for this ROM. Thanks to all who have tried out the ROm for their support and input.
Steve
ROM Features:
Based on stock HTC Sense/Froyo OTA v3.26.605.
Uses latest stock HTC kernel to help alleviate battery drain.
"Matte" Sense UI. I completely redid all "shiny" elements of the Sense UI (including green highlights), status bar and HTC apps to make then smoother, more refined and professional looking (IMHO).
Added notification pulldown power widgets, custom skinned by me. Thanks to |||bored|||, dopeshiziot and JSCHiSurf for this.
Apps softkey (left softkey) is mapped to Maxim's AppFolders, a fully customizable app drawer that I have come to depend on, since I first saw it implemented in deficitism's Uncommon Sense. A BIG nod to deficitism for both the idea and the tools to figure out how to do this.
Right softkey mapped to browser (will consider other mappings if there is interest). Thanks to JsChiSurf for the tools to learn how this is done.
Added battery percentage mod and smooth sense icons. Thanks to jercik for these.
Added 6-Bar signal meter. Thanks to deficitism for the tools to learn how this is done.
3-in-1 power menu (reboot option) by snq-
Replaced HTC Car Panel with Google CarHome.
Transparent clock background (flip from HD, for now...) and settings/profile widget backgrounds. Props to HeyItsLou for the inspiration for these.
Made the lockscreen and rosie navbar transparent, and the statusbar pulldown semi-transparent. Thanks to shoey-n for the services.jar mod to allow this.
Slight graphical mods to dialer to make it easier to see and use (IMHO).
All framework and resources images were compressed and optimized to maximize RAM.
Statusbar clock, alarm, debugging and location icons are hidden by default. I have attached Zip files to post #3 to add these back, if desired. Thanks to pardonmyfreedom for the tutorial on how to do this.
Removed what seems to be agreed upon as bloat from the ROM (e.g., Vcast, Footprints, etc.). Other quasi-bloat apps (e.g., VZWBAC, Quickoffice) are in data/app/ and can be uninstalled.
Blue spinning android boot animation from Natemz over at androidcentral.com.
ROM is fully deodexed, zipaligned and rooted.

Known Bugs
For some reason the newest Gmail (2.3.2) won't intall over the version included in Beta 0.3 I posted earlier. Seems that this is not an uncommon problem with various ROMs. I have, as of 11:30 PM EST 12/12/10, uploaded the fixed ROM with the latest Gmail (same download link as before). So, if you are new to the ROM, no worries, the latest version is included. If you already have v0.3 installed, many apologies, but you will need to reflash if you want to have Gmail 2.3.2.
----------------
I have been a member of XDA for a long time, and I recently switched from WM to Android. I have been messing around with some ROMs for my own use over the past month or so, and figured it was time to release a ROM into the wild in hopes that the community can help me make it into something on a higher plane than I can do on my own.
The ROM is based on the stock HTC Sense/Froyo OTA v3.26.605.1 that I pulled from the always excellent virtuousrom.com. By painstakingly analyzing what the wonderful devs on this site have been up to via countless "diff" commands and analyzing smali files until my eyes hurt, I rebuilt/modded the ROMs framework and apps to make the ROM I have been looking for.
I want to state that, while I did my own coding/theming and implemented the features of this ROM slightly differently than the devs I learned them from, I owe ALL of this ROM to those devs' hard work an ingenuity. All I did was learn what they were doing and figure out how to make it work the way I wanted.
I also want to note again that I am very new to cooking (have been a themer mostly) and this ROM is BETA. While I have found it to be stable for my own personal use, I cannot say it will be for you. Therefore, download and flash at your own risk, for I take NO responsibility for what happens to your phone if you install this ROM.
Again, I want to state that I owe all of the devs listed above for their hard work and ingenuity, without which I would not know how to do any of this. If anyone believes I have not credited someone I should have, please shoot me a PM and I will correct my error. Similarly, if I have unintentionally violated acceptable etiquette in any way, please let me know via PM, and I will try to fix the problem.
Install by downloading the ROM to your SD card (or copy it there from PC) and rebooting into recovery, WIPING data and cache (I wipe dalvik cache, as well) and selecting the "install from sdcard" option. It takes a while on the first bootup, so please be patient.
**NB- there have been extensive changes to the framework in version 0.3, so I recommend a full wipe, even if you have 0.2 installed.**
Please enjoy, and I hope to receive your feedback, help and ideas for improvement. I believe this will be the last beta before RC1, unless there is something I am missing
Steve
Changelog
Beta v0.3
I plan this to be the last beta before releasing RC1 under a new, better name. So, please, any bug reports, comments are welcome. Thanks.
Added custom skinned status/notification bar power control widgets. Credits in 1st post.
replaced Ziggy's kernel with latest HTC stock kernel. Didn't feel performance bump was worth battery drain.
Fixed 6-bar signal being limited to only 4-bars. Thanks to |||bored||| for reminding me of this.
Many small framework and resources tweaks.
Beta v0.2
Fixed sync notification animation
Added 6-bar signal meter
Added data/app functionality to allow for uninstalling some apps that might be considered bloat.
Updated gapps.
Added Zip files to post #3 to allow customization of icons shown in status bar.
Reserved
OK. Sorry for the wait. The status bar icon show/hide files are now attached. I tested each briefly, so they should be fine, but nandroid before flashing, just in case.
Steve
nice to have you over on our side, any chance of getting that wallpaper?
@mothy
Here you go...
Wow! This looks great! Amazing features for a beta at V 0.1 haha. I'm definitely gonna switch from the latest skyraider to this. Thanks for the hard work on this man! Hope to see you around more, hopefully updating this thing of beauty with even more features!
I'm stoked to try this out!! I can't download it from my phone for some reason tho. Can you put a mirror up?
Are there any known bugs?
love the matte look.. will keep an eye on this. how does the call answer lock look like? is it matte also or transparent? any plans on implementing the 6 signal bar? and could you elaborate on the easier to use dialer?

The only "bug" I know is that the animated sync icon isn't working yet. I am sure some will come up, though, as I haven't used every app/feature of the phone.

Yep. I am just getting into the services.jar files to see how this is done. Hopefully in a few days I will have it. I would like to learn how it works rather than just copy it over from someone else.

As to the call answer, it's transparent. I was toying with replacing the android guy, but couldn't settle on a picture.
As to the dialer mod, it's just a graphical mod to make the keys and dialing text easier to read. Sorry, should have been clearer...

So far this rom is running great! One minor gripe, about 50% of the time when I unlock the phone, I get the "Sorry, android.mms.apk has force closed" or whatever. I'm sure it can easily be fixed with a patch though, because I've seen a bunch of other MMS fixes on lots of other peoples roms. Other than that this rom is fluid, fast, and very easy on the eyes. Love it.
Is Visual Voice Mail removed from this? I know some people consider it bloat, I consider it essential.
I have been running it for two hours now - working great!
It does have VVM. I use it, too.
As the the mms force close, I have also seen this on other ROM threads, hasn't happened to me on this one, though. Will work on a fix tomorrow. Thanks for pointing that out.

As to the MMS FC issue, may I ask a few questions: Have you tried fixing permissions in recovery? Did you use Titanium backup to restore your text messages? Have you ever had apps installed on your SD card?
Thanks!
Steve
I've never used titanium back up, I've never had apps installed on my sd card, but no i have not tried fixing permissions.
It only did it for the first day or so. It's perfectly fine now. I'll try fixing permissions though.
Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
can some one make a custom lock screen for this rom ... or plz give instructions to make one
i installed cyanogenmod bt its not yet stable much like rc rom

i know about this app and i had searched about it on net already the main problem is i dont have any credit or debit card of any bank till date thats the main problem with me
All i learned about lock screens till date is that these are certain image files that are set to do cetain action ... like on the basic stock rom the lock screen has four icons that are draged up to unlock the phone the base i learned about it is that locking screen do one thing place a application that allow only four things to be done (considering stock rom screen) first if draged up the first icon it will close the app (that's how screen is basically locked) dragging second icon closes app and runs dialer apk
so basically what i figured out is that the lock screen of an android is itself a application of its own kind that's why the market applications are also able to customize lock screen becoz there is no such thing like locking screen its jst an application seted to run over and above all applications and those drageble items are certain png's files which works as action buttons ...
so now as i figured it out soon i think will be able to customize it ...
Thanks that helped a lot
