Me having way too much time on my hands. Fully working and fully customizable widgets. Widgets layed out to mimic WP7. This is Running Launcher Pro Plus. NOT A ROM. Stock 2.1 w/update fascy Bloatware removed.
Watch it in action!

Very nice.
I was thinking about creating one for myself.
Would you mind telling me how to create these custom widget for Launcher Pro Plus?
I think I saw it somewhere else in xda but couldn't find it.
a sort of step-by-step instruction would be nice
Thanks in advance.
There is a very detailed post in the general android forums. Its called android phone 7.

Here's what I did, I didn't read any other forum on how to do this. I just wanted it so I just basically did it how I would do it.
First, get launcher pro plus. You need LPplus so you can resize widgets. Hide your notification tray, empty out the bottom dock.
I'm using "Desktop Visualizer" on my Android phone. Check it out here: http://whatsonyourandroid.appspot.com/details?p=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr
Download desktop visualizer from market. Then download icons from google images. Then just add the DV widget like normal. It will instruct you which app to use, super easy. Then just resize everything like you want it. Then repeat.
Did you not have any problems with Desktop Vis slowing down your phone? On my Droid OC'd to 1,000 it made my screens super laggy having around 16 widgets total.

Thanks a lot for your instruction.
I'll give it a shot.
Thanks.
Maybe slightly work on the wording fitting into the icons instead of floating. I have the original set on mine for the past week and love it. Was working on new icons myself haha.

Can get a screen shot of yours. It was very difficult to even come close with the wording. Resizing the widget also resizes the position of the words. Couldn't figure out the right rhythm.
That is freakin dope! I might try to do something this weekend..

I have mine posted in the screen shot topic. Best way to use those icons is with Desktop Vizualizer and run LPP.

Yea I saw your theme and that inspired me to do mine. I sent you a private message a week ago, about how you did yours, no response. So I had to do it a way I only knew how to. Using the desktop visualizer, a very rough way making custom icons.

Yep. Launcher Pro + DV + GIMP + Sick Day. lol.
I like the concept, but not the Win7 icons that are out there. I will probably take the time to fit everything better size wise later, but this was fun.
How did you get more control of the title icons. Using DV I didn't have much options with the resizing of the title.

put the title in the image you create.
The image and the title move dependent with each other using DV. I'm sorry im not understanding. Its very tricky cause the title and image are preset its just manipulating the size.

Not gonna lie, that lockscreen is pretty slick. What would we have to do to bring that look to Android?

Yea search for ownskin on the market. Then using that app, search "metro ui". Theres 3 words at the bottom of the wallpaper, but you can easily remove it by editing it
Tried that, in ownskin there's nothing to be found when searching for "metro ui" even just "metro" gets no result

Yepp. Can`t find it.
guys, ownskin will only list the wallpaper that suit your phone screen size. so the wallpaper created by sofox must be same as your phone screen size then you can find it.....
anyway the easiest is to try make it yourself one, it is rather easy. try it at http://www.ownskin.com/livewallpaper

Damn. I can`t get it to look right, it keeps getting messed up.
Nobody else want to give it a shot to make this into a widget or a wallpaper? With the black background I bet this would look really awesome on an OLED screen
What is the best source for hi definition wallpapers for the NS? I want to see nice images on a nice screen, not pixels. Thanks guys.

That app crashes when you try and save a wallpaper. Not sure if its an issue with 2.3 or just ****ty coding. Used to work fine on my Nexus One.

Hello XDA - Developers.
I bought the HTC One M7 a week ago; Im satisfied so far. But I got one Problem.
When I got the mobile, the Stock Wallpaper was scrolling too when I scrolled to the next page (Sense, NOT the Appdrawer... just saying..)
and now the Wallpaper I set doesn't scrolls.
Any possibility to enable the wallpaper scrolling ? Or is it due to Sense 5 ?

of course...
Sense 5 doesn't have the ability to set a scrolling wallpaper. Only third party apps can help you here. In no circumstance can the sense launcher use a panoramic wallpaper. Might be possible to implement in a ROM though.

Did you do both steps ?
Select image(s)
Start live wallpaper
Make sure to click on "Start live wallpaper"
It worked for me.
Or are you using a Launcher ? Asking because Im not sure whether this app works with an extern Launcher, such as Nova or Ex etc...

Welcome
MKBHD posted a very cool wallpaper for the iPhone 7 which had a graph background with labels for everything like Signal, battery, etc. which you can check out here:
https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/837727947096129538?s=09
I wanted a similar wallpaper but for Android and after hours of searching, couldn't find one. So I made my own?
Now since Android is very customisable in the case of launchers, it is virtually impossible to make a universal wallpaper for the home screen. But the lockscreen is not that customisable (without root) so I made one for the lockscreen too!
If you want the same for your home screen, I have posted my Nova Launcher backup, which can be restored to get the same layout as mine and then the wallpaper will fit perfectly ?
I have posted the wallpapers for the lockscreen, home screen and some screenshots which can be found in the downloads at the bottom of this post.
The Nova Launcher backup can be downloaded from here:

There could be many differences and maybe, not even one box/label would fit if the launcher or widgets are different. Could you pls elaborate on which all labels you would like me to remove?

I can't give you the .PSD file right now but what I can do is that I will create another post on a guide on how to edit the .PSD file which I will attach in that post and you can download it from there. But you'll have to be a little patient because it will take some time
