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.

Thanks.. I have one that is more like the ball your talking about but its not touch responsive. In the futures I want to be able to change colors and such. Im still a noob at this stuff..
For some reason none of the ones I made will work on my friends phones.. Epic Touch and the Htc Evo, yet they work on my Epic 4G.. Still trying to figure out why.

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.

Here is a concept I came up with for a custom lockscreen on android. Basically all you do to unlock it is to connect the two rings using multi-touch (basically pinching them together). Of course I haven't made it cuz I'm not to good with making apps and such, I mostly do graphics. If a rom cooker such as Cyanogen, Jester, justanothercowd, kingklik, ccyrowski, etc. wants to try to make it useable in one of their builds feel free to PM me. Again this is not an app or a finished product that can be used right now, but is an idea or a concept of a custom lockscreen. idk if it can actually be made or anything. Please post some feedback and maybe we can discuss a way on how to get custom lockscreens. I will b willing to make some more too.

Nice concept, would like to see this developed.
Free bump for you.
I created something similar with but with only one circle like the ophone unlock. It would not be hard to make work with multitouch if only i had multi touch hardware.

so it is perfectly possible?
Having to pinch those two rings together every time I wanted to unlock my phone would be a nightmare.
lol i like it... but i wonder how close u can truly pinch!... lol..but its a nice idea.. maybe just to have the circles touch...
its like a drunk test lol..
I don't *think* its possible because the G1 is not true multi-touch. The multi-touch we have is emulated and doesn't detect the position of two "touches". Instead, it detects the distance between the two touches allowing us to multi-touch zoom, but not much else. Sorry if I rained on your parade, but I might be wrong!

Is this available anywhere?
It is not. i did not know how much interest there would be, so i never polished it. I guess i could wrap it up for release.
As for the pinch idea it depends on the hardware, it is not possible on the g1 becuase the screen does not support multi touch, only very very crude one.

It'll require both hande to unlock, one to hold phone & second to pinch.

Yeah but how cool would it be to show it off, and be like "Try and find this app on the market!!!" lmao. It's merely a concept of what would be cool to have as a lockscreen.
Espresso | Nexus | SuperD 1.10.3 Theme.
Hello everyone. I am a graphic artist (of sorts) and I thought it may be time to through my hat into the ring. I am consistently blown away by the work here, but I am always missing something...
This is work based upon others work! At its core is Community Espresso, Enoch, and my own personal stuff mixed in. I have done little things for years now and a friend suggested I start posting them for others to use.
First, install SuperD 1.10.3 (awesome music widget!)-I suggest Black Nexus
Boot and let ROM settle for 5 minutes
Install My update file
Enjoy
This will allow you to keep your Nexus launcher and give you the dark interface of the espresso themes. Also includes custom boot image. i am thinking of making some more... YOU WILL LOVE THIS THEME!!!
If you like it let me know...
If you have requests, post them...
If you have ideas put them here...
I will keep this updated if there is a response to do more.
I am reworking to fix and will re-posting.
Fix List for v2 (4/21/10)
- boot logo is wrong one(new one is MUCH NICER)
- Nexus launcher stays...or perhaps adds it.
- Color of text in notification to white
- Focus color to transparent
- Any other suggestions? let me know
v2 (As Promised)
- did not change notification text color yet
Download the UPDATE HERE
v1
Download the UPDATE HERE
Enjoy
As always, do a back up just in case, and I would love if some of you could test this on SuperCSDIv4 for me and verify your results.
You've posted a theme without screenshots? Even if it has similarities to another theme...you still need screen shots.......

Agree So installed it over SuperD 1.1.0.3 and here are some screenies:

Looks nice! Wish it would come as a metamorph though, as I really like some parts but some minor details I'm not fond of (grey provider name for example, unreadable).
Thank You
Thanx for the post. I am very sorry for forgetting these.
-Pre... did you put over 1.10.3? there should still be the nexus launcher?

That's what I expected as well But it turned out like this...
Resorted to a Nandroid as also a lot of framework was overwritten that I really liked. Which was a shame, as I really dig your powercontrol widget!

That's Beautiful Widgets, with a custom skin installed
Yea someone please post a mirror I only have a g1 for internet access
I really like the theme. Everything shows up great. Only thing is that a CUBE app showed up and keeps force closing. Is this something your theme added?
WOW can you port this for us eris users??
this theme is fantastic!
Update
THe cube that was added was for the gesture search by google. I will remove it if it is causing issues for everyone. As for Eris Users, I will see what I can do. I would tend to think that it will work with you as well.
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.
lol, i kinda miss my old winmo phone with LCARS now...
I have a dude doing the lwp...

this is great news, I recently posted regarding a decent LCARS live wallpaper, lets hope this theme gets some support
A little more working on some custom widgets and rosie next, and also looking at keyboard, need find a really good version of Swiss911 if any one has got it

Slowly been busy, but need start on rosie, etc and xmls to get rid of text and sort out spacing .....

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 realize this is a double post, so perhaps we can just merge the two. The other is linked in my sig. Thank you moderators
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://qu1dam.deviantart.com/art/Portal-Theme-Icons-194420132
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.

OP is updated with fixed charging bubbles.
I wish I knew more about how to edit sprite movement for live wallpapers. I would have the sub move to the left, leave the screen, then come back on the screen going the opposite way and go off the other side of the screen, etc.

These modified MyWater live wallpapers typically change the images and possibly some of the text strings, but still use the original com.asus.livewallpaper package name. Modifying the package name will allow multiple versions of these live wallpapers to coexist.
I have proven that this works by modifying ruvort's beer w/ lime live wallpaper here. The modified live wallpaper happily coexists with the default Asus MyWater live wallpaper on my non-rooted Transformer.
