The easiest way to customize your device

Hi,
I just wanted to present you the early version of my application that will allow you to do the easiest way to customize your device.
Unfortunately, that's a new Home so you will loose all your Hero Widgets.
Unfortunately, you will need Android 2.0 at least
No need to have the SDK
No need to sign application
You just need Photoshop, Gimp, other image editing tool
As this is a beta, I i wait for your feedback
Here is the apk The link
When you open it, it will ask to download some samples. They are not very good, but that's just for a testing purpose.
Create your own theme
Download samples and browse your SDCard to sdcard/data/com.profete162.FreedHome/
You will see the samples. You can copy/paste one and edit all the files you want! That's so simple.
ENJOY
Please provide me any feedback you want, suggestion, bug report.
NOTE:
The UI of the menu is bad.
As this is a Beta version, there are watermarks on the screen.

First post modified.
New apk is really more simple to use.
If you have already some themes from previous version please delete them and use the new one.
Just a question: if nobody answer me, that's because my app don't work, you cannot use it, or you find that useless??

It installed just fine on my magic running 2.1.
The homescreen runs fast and feels snappy, but the only files that are avaiable for customization are the tray handle and its background.
Could you please pm me a link to the version without watermarking?

Version without matermarking will come on the market in a few days. I want to add more features first and be sure it's stable enough.
Feel free to send me feedback on other things you want to see changed, if the application is easy to understand, etc...

New features:
* More icons on the grid!
* Create your own shortcuts with your own icons
* uninstall app by dragging the icon on the trash for more than 1 sec.
* Donationware: there are watermarks on the home screen, remove them by making a donation, you pay the app the price you want! ( at least 50 cents for paypal fees)

Looks great !
It's will be nice if you can add the arrow like in xperia x10 .
And if it's possible to make ScreenLock like Xperia x10 , thats will be great !
As I see, in Xperia X10 when you open the menu, the blue striped color becomes lighter :
{
"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",

For the arrow and the blue color when open, i wil explain you what's the problem.
On the basic Homescreen without customisation, there are 3 differents graphic files with 3 states: normal - pressed - selected. So the blues lines are in the pressed/selected mode but not in the menu.
In my customisation, I only allow 1 ressource, the normal state, so that will never change. If you really want, i can give you a modified version with the arrow and the blue line, that will be easy, but you will loose the link to the market.

Ok , but if I want to update the app how I can do that ?
You said it's just beta .. wich version you have the normal or with the blue lines and arrow ?

Yes you can update, the beta version will leave it's beta state when will be finished. That will be the SAME application. So by installing the free version ( and making a donation if you want to) you will always be up-to-date.
The different ressources for the 3 states will come when I will be able to do that. I don't know when yet, unfortunately.

OK . Tell me when X10 menu style will be work beter . I saw want my desire look like X10 . Thanks

Hi,
How can I move widgets? If I long tap on them they won't move and I cant find an option "unlock widgets" as in the standart theme of throttle launcher.
hope you can help me.
Luke

Is there a way to see more of screens or videos of this in use?

Very sexy!
I definitely would leave Sense if you get this one more advanced!
I optimized the programpanel and added a notification slider at the top (like on the concept-images) already; if you'd like to work together just contact me.
---------------------------
Anybody who is interested in my updates can download the new version here or in the attachments of this post. I included an option to unlock the widgets. Haven't found another one... (Check the screenshots)

Ah theres the "unlock widgets". Thanks for the update.

I could move the widgets without problem by tapping and holding until a dotted border appears and then just drag and place them wherever you like (same page or other page).

[Q] [NOOB] Missing Messaging Icon from undertray

Hello everyone,
I'm a recent user of a SGS... I've been using it for 4 days... installing apps... getting used to android etc...
Today I've noticed that the Messaging icon/shortcut that used to be on the undertray, near to the Applications icon, is missing...
How can I restore it? What have I done to make it go away?
This is the missing icon:
{
"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",

}

long press the home screen select shortcuts ... then applications .... choose messaging.... then that will put the messaging icon on your screen, drag and drop it onto the dock and hey presto !!!

When I drag it... the dock (lower bar?) turns into "Remove" with a trash bin icon.... and the shortcut disapears...
Any other thoughts?

Boas You have to long press the dockbar and you will have the option to add or change a shortcut, the apps shortcut cant be changed.

it depends what launcher your running. if you have sgs tools go into that and upgrade stock apps and select upgrade twlauncher and find one that has tw launcher + 5 icon dock.
the standard tw launcher is only 4 icon dock. 1 of them icons being the application which isnt removable.

Zeam... Launcher Pro.... Go Launcher... ADW Launcher... Gingerbread launcher. and more....

TMN?! My advice is when you have a little spare time read some tutorials about changing roms and as soon as you feel ready change to a custom rom... Tmn is very laggy, its a completely different experience.

thanks for the advice I need to spend some time reading the HOW TO's in order to atempt doing it... What ROM do you advice?
If I got it clear... I need to root the device and be shure that the 3 button download works... (it works the digging droid came up)...
Need further reading...

Its very easy actually,
First you should(have to) unlock you phone (sim carrier). i think theres a method that works... or you can buy a code on samfirmware. very cheap...
I use darky´s rom and i recommend it, super stable and fast. Just go to development area and you will see it, he has all the instructions for a new install and he explains it very well, just follow his instructions.

Hey guys, got the solution to this problem. click on the icon that goes to the application. then do the Edit the homescreen panes with pinch zoom out gesture • standard edit mode. Drag the message icon to the under tray bar. and thats it.

[Q] Metro UI Lockscreen on Android ?

Yesterday I visited a mobile shop and checked HTC HD7 . If I have to be truthful the only thing that I liked about it was the Lockscreen . Pretty cool one
So my questions is :
Is there any program or whatever , that can provide Metro UI/WP7 lockscreen to android device
Thanks

I'd be interested too!
I've tried WidgetLocker and added a WP7-look alike widget but... meh.
If anyone can whip one up really quick, that would be AWESOME!

Just get widgetlocker and make it look like the wp7 lockscreen.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

I don't see what makes it special.
WidgetLocker could do that any day, lol.

I actually was also very interested in the WP7 lockscreen
Like mentionned I tried widgetlocker but it doesn't slide down the whole background so it's not really nice
@ OP
I saw a video on youtube that someone had a similar lockscreen to WP7 and I think he was using lockbot pro
so try that

Downloaded both LockBOT Pro ( latest version 1.6.8 ) and WidgetLocker ( v2.0 ).
Both of them have 6 lockscreen themes/styles , without including WP7/METRO UI one .. They have Hero/iphone/eclair/galaxyS/Xperia/Sense , I couldn't manage to find WP7 or anything like that ..
Any advices ?

here is mine

firetiger said:

of course not,but what of that
if we have invisible sense theme,we can unlock it by slide down

I have a couple of examples on my DeviantART
under the same username

follow these instructions:
1. Download LockbotPro
2. Make a new Lockscreen (htc hero style) in Lockbot
3. Put the slider on top of the screen.
4. Make it transparent
5. Set a Wallpaper
6. Set a clock
7. Save changes and set it as Lockscreen

Yeah I know that through LockBot or WL I can customize my lockscreen wallpaper , put clock ( as same as the one in WP7 ) .
But what I wanted was to have the same style and effect of unlocking as the one in WP7/Metro UI
Watch , please this video. Its exactly what I meant !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb8fyBd7HBM
IM INLOVE WITH IT !
If only there was a way to port this on android device : )))

well that tutorial i posted for lockbot is based on this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YXoVK0LgB0
it almost looks like the WP7
you can slide the whole background image down to unveil your homescreen

I would try out your method .
But for now , sorry for my stupid questions , but how to :
1. Make a transparent the Sense/Hero Lockpad ?
2. How to add custom clock such as the one in WP7 ?
Couldn't found in editing lockpad & clock : (((

1. Just create a transparent .png and save it on your SD. Then when you create click on menu - style - hero, you can then move the slider and if you click on the slider, it will give you more options and one of them is "Change Slider". From there you just find the png in your SD card and that's it.
2. that is unfortunately not possible since it only has one type of digital clock and you can only change the size of font and the font...I think that the dev should integrate the option to set widgets on the lockscreen like widget locker

Thank you alot : )))

does anyone get a flicker on sliding down?
im on cm7b19 on my nexus s. all the other themes work fine, but when i slide down my screen just flickers like crazy.

How did you get good lock working? For me it's just a notification bar and pull down that works. If I try to go into settings or press on any notifications it just goes black. After a few turns it just restarts with the normal Touchwiz.

it worked flawlessly to me the first time...im afraid i can't help ya, sorry pal.

It's working great here too, I just wish I could choose what feature to be on.
About the blur effect, the 24.0.4 version had it and then they removed it in the newer 24.0.6 version.
No lag here, just the lock screen apps take a little longer to open.

Set lockscreen effects to off or popping colors before install. Good Lock have diffenert set of effects, and when you have chosen something it doesn't have, it crashes.
