Lets you change the image of apps u have on your home screen to anything on your sd card. Find icons or links to icons in themes and wallpaper section
http://betterandroid.wordpress.com/
I have it, it's freaking awesome. Download any icons to your sdcard then you can use them as your home icons.
The other app they have on the site (Search POI) is also very well done and useful.

was it in the market or do you have a url for it?
From all the screenshots I have seen its in the paid market
that explains why i cant see it then, no paid apps section for me yet.
Yeah sucks i was hoping that i would have gotten them but still waiting, cant wait to get guitar hero on my g1
paid apps are showing up, still no bettercut
I see it now. Looks tempting. But is it worth $2.99? There's a certain price point where if too many things are $3+ --- I'm just not going to buy any of them. Is it just me?
i have all this but u jus have to wait.. i see more apps every single time i get on cuz theres a delay or something.. but i was wondering if bettercut is worth buying
i would like to just create custom icons for shortcuts, thats the main reason i want it, but its still not there :\
It's decent, its not a major overhaul of AnyCut... So dont expect that, it does add some cool new things, and has a new GUI. One of the more notable features is the icon change ability. So if you hate some of your icons and want them changed this is the current solution.
but is it really worth it for $2.99
someone might just come out with an icon changer app for .99 or something.
its worth it to me.
i love my new icons =D

The way I see it, it's only $3.00... and buying a smart phone like the G1 I already knew I'd be spending money on apps eventually. So to me, yes its worth it...
Wow are we really complaining about a 3.00 app? I will happily pay 3.00 if i can change my icons and make my phone look the way i want it to!
I guess it's good for people who don't know how to make themes.
i got it.. now icon searching here i come
This app is a winner guys!!!
Just bought it.
Hello People, sorry for the bad title i couldn't think of another.
My name is xiq and i've been on this forum since 1-2 years, because I really appreciate the tools etc. =)
I'm looking for a way to make something like a more advanced skin for my wm phone.
I have a Eten M800 with a VGA display (not very good), and a Palm Treo 750 with a square display.
Well i really think that the Treo's not really good dressed with Windows Mobile's Appearance, so i want to make a more standard skin, something very basic.
I thought about something like this:

Home Screen
i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt185/xrlsky/menu.png
Menu Version A
i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt185/xrlsky/menu_alternative.png
Menu Version B
Icons © by "Zerode.com", i just used them for a quick "sketch"
---------------------------
As you can see, it's not really so mad about touch like most projects, i don't want to center on a yank-a-doodle-dandee
Maybe someone want to team up with me?
I'm a experient Designer, as you can see on photobucket,
I'm also the guy behind the XeBoy Advance skin (v0.4 upwards)
I'm just not the fittest at programming...
Does any of you guys know of an easier way to realize this?
come on people, 200 views and no idea?
FIY, i don't want to find a skin, I want to make one, just a simple clue would be awesome =)
Moved to correct section for more coverage.
bumpedy bump still interested
well, it's been some time, but i'm still bumpin'
Hello sir my name is not Trekfan422991 but that is my username and i have what you are looking for...
the program you should use to achieve this skin is called
THROTTLE LAUNCHER..
with a little XML. you can design any kind of Theme your little heart can imagine...
this theme you are asking about would be sooooo!! super easy to code....
i can either do the coding for you...
or even some GRaphics ... i am a graphic designer...
take a look at one of the beautiful popular themes i ahve made for peoples phone .....
HERE
i would be happy to partner up with you to bring this theme to your device..!!!
i realized that your Eten M800 has a joystick and you post says your not looking at the touchscreen aspect of the theme....
so if you want to use the joystick for navigating the theme if i make it in throttle launcher .. will not be possible... you will still need to use the touchscreen to navigate the theme
Try ThemeGenCE its great for starters (well I'm still using it )
So, I have had an awful lot of free time on my hands after getting laid off last week. Thought I would play around with GIMP a little more and custom make some icons. I made these for Folder Organizer icons, but they are 72 x 72 px and can be used for whatever devices support that size icon (I believe HDPI devices only, please correct me if I am wrong). I attached a little pic with all of them together.
Screenshot 1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA1.png
Screenshot 2: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA2.png
The first one is them just lain out so you can get an idea of the size. The second one is used in the medium sized icon format of Launch-X Pro widget. I could not upload them to the site without resizing, and I didn't feel like it. It wouldn't look the same anyway. You should be able to right click --> Open in new tab so you don't have to download them. Hope you all enjoy!
These are really great! Thanks I'll be using them
Cool! I'm glad someone else appreciates them like I do. LoL
Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.
Nice work, but is there any chance to get the wallpaper too?
Sorry, you can insert the only original wallpaper of Batman please?
Is beautiful ^_^
Ty very much! like them alot! +1 on wallpaper
nice. Great job, keep it up.
How do I install these, they are AWSOME!
Very Nice . Any chance u can make a Marvel's Avengers set of icons ? Would love too get a hold of that Batman wallpaper too .
I would donate for a set of spiderman icons....both black and red
These are awesome...sorry to hear about he job, slow for me right now too.
Using the scrolling wallpaper
Using the circle scrolling wallpaper, the Batman image and his icons, I came up with this. Nothing fancy, but still pretty cool (to me at least).
*edit*
Here's a better version of the wallpaper with his shoulders not cropped.
original wallpaper is here
Thanks everyone! Feeling the love Here is the wallpaper: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/default_wallpaper.jpg This one is sized 960 x 854, or perfectly for the Droid 1 and is a bit more on center that the one previous posted. As far as how to install the icons, you can use them easily with Folder Organizer (just open the app, pick a folder, tap on the down arrow on the right side and choose Icon), LauncherPro (long press on dock icons and choose custom icon), or you can use Ninjamorph to substitute them for any app icons of your liking. This is assuming they are already on your SD card and unzipped. As far as making more of them...I would LOVE to! I just need a couple of more days as I am doing a ridiculously detailed theme for my phone that I might release at some date. It's not comic themed as I was looking for something a little more for the masses, but it'll be nice. It's weird because I posted these like a couple of weeks ago on 3 different forums and I think I got maybe 4 responses between them so kind of just figured no one cared. Please start listing a few characters you would like to see and I will try to do the most popular ones. I only ask that it be a figure with a somewhat recognizable symbol so it won't take a year to find something that will work. It took me quite awhile to get the Martian Manhunter icon because of that. Anyway, thanks again for the interest and now I know some more people are interested, I will keep a closer eye on this thread.
Hi - Great job! These Icons with the Scrolling Wallpaper "Dock" and the Batman image combined are the best setup I've had since getting my Captivate.
I have one very minor request, though - Anyway to fill in that hole in the Batman icon and repost it? I don't know if it's just me or my set up, but in the middle of the shine, there is a black hole that looks kind of like a bullet hole. You can see it in my screen capture above.
Again, though, it may just be me...
LoL Wow...I never even noticed. It doesn't show up in the pic I put in the original post until you click on it and enlarge it. I'll look into it a little later on today, so stay tuned. I found a little quicker way to do these so I might be putting more out soon. I already have a couple of Venom ones done...
Actually the same pic that I used for the zip, I had in my dropbox too and I don't notice the hole in this one. Weird. Try it and let me know please. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/Bats.png
Sweet! Looking forward to it!
Looks like it's still showing up, my man. Sorry!
It's cool. I will whip up another one later on tonight after I finish some school work and watch Modern Family heh. Since I'm making another, any preferences on color?
Folks,
In the topic "Post you homescreen", I saw this marvellous one.. ( I attached it )
To be honest it's like the best i've ever seen..
Without any doubt I send a pm to the user but i think he is quite busy and couldnt reply me.
I've been searching the internet for about 3 days and i did find nothing..
I couldnt even find how to make such a dock ( with texts ) ..
downloaded ADW - launcher pro - dxtop lite - ... nothing works.. no themes around at all similar to this.
Is there anyone who has a clue about how to build such a theme ?
cuz its definitely not a single file to install
you think that is the best you've ever seen!!!
sorry it's just that i hate orange themes
From what I can see:
LauncherPro
The dock icons are posted on this forum actually. "TallMin" by Lekky
The theme itself (statusbar etc) I don't know. Run it through UOT. It's black with orange icons and Rounded Battery, no big deal.
Widgets:
Pure Messenger
Beautiful Widgets
BattStatt
SwitchPro
Transdroid
The music player can be any. They all have that certain feel to them.
The icons on the homescreens I don't know about. Probably something popular
Check DeviantART > Customization > Icons > Dock Icons > Most Popular Ever
It's extremly basic stuff here, it's probably all been mentioned a million times in "Post your Homescreens".
BTW: LauncherPro doesn't theme your statusbar.
You're gonna have to be rooted in order to change it.
And I'm sorry but: You've been searching the internet for three days? That's pure bull****! If you'd been
searching for three days you'd know all this three days ago.

Well, the reason i said that is, i really like simple and pro looking themes..
I've been using I9000 for about 3 weeks, and just started to customizing it..
thats why im quite new about this stuff.
The majority of the themes i saw until now is containing too much stuff in a small screen which i really dont like .. thats why when i first saw this theme i thought this is it !
but anyways i'll keep looking .. thanks for your comment ..
I'll now try to run thorugh what you've written Hope i'll get something similar at the end..
I dont know much about being root .. i need to do a quick search about that..
Well , searching internet for three days.. yes but meanwhile i am doing my second year uni project and writing a few essays so thats not an actual three days time i am not a dumb
anyways i am gonna update the post ..
P.s i couldn't quote your post, it does not allow me to post external links ..
Update: I was really confused about everyting .. starting from what you've writtin i've done what i want , thank you [zHk3R]

Hi all!
I have recently been playing around with the Sense 2.1 + Gingerbread (aka GingerSense) ROMs, and had to of course port (and improve) my original PCB Sense Theme from days ago. I have been testing it myself for quite a few days, and I'm finally happy with how it turned out, so I wanted to offer it up to all GingerSense XDA users.
Couple of things to note:
This design was meant to be close to stock for those who actually dig the Sense scheme, but want something unique
The file is a 7.7mb signed .APK created using apk-manager 4.9 for Sense 2.1...I may make a Sense 3.0 port if there is enough demand (need to play with .m10 editing still)
It is installable on HDPI devices only by simply copying to your device and running, and is uninstallable by Titanium Backup, or applying another Skin in Sense, and highlighting PCB Sense, then MENU --> DELETE...it doesn't appear in "Settings --> Applications", but why would you want to uninstall it anyways?
I have edited a poopload of images with utmost care and attention to detail including those precious draw9patch ones
The tricky thing with the draw9patch is to have a pattern get 'stretched/repeated' without looking crappy...I believe this may be one of the few Sense themes out there which attempts to skin >90% of resource images (I may be wrong, but still)
I tested (and approved of) this theme on my Desire (Bravo) running LeeDrOiD v3.3.1 and InsertCoin GB
The font used in all screenshots is "Ubuntu", however "Storopia" also compliments the skin nicely
The font used to make the custom clock widget is "OPTICBOT"
This theme took me about 55-60 hours to complete
I've seen some other mods/ports of my theme before, and while I am a believer in sharing and caring, it would be nice if you asked/PM'ed me before using my theme for any other purpose than your own enjoyment. I'm a nice dood, I promise, and it's good to give credit where it's due!
If you'd like to buy me a beer, coffee, or any other kind offering to say thanks, it's greatly appreciated and I will thank you personally... (Donate link is in my post profile)
Anyways, have a look at the preview images below, and please leave your thoughts! I hope you enjoy it!!! (Oh, and keep an eye on this thread for updates)
Screenshots of Green version (via Dropbox album):

Select your desired colour to download:
PCB Sense Green (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Blue (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Orange (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Pink (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Purple (7.7mb)
Note: If you're downloading on a handheld browser and the file is saved with a '.bin' extension, simply rename it to '.apk'
if you like it...that's up to you!
Credits and thanks to some of the resources used go out to:
The modded wallpaper is originally from iTeppo (on deviantART) titled "Android Chip Wallpaper" (he did a great job!)
Looks great! Too bad I have a CDMA desire (no new sense love for us)
HTC Desire with custom rom (insertcoin GB) and this is perfect combination :3
;-) dooooooooooooooooooood!!

Wow amazing!!!!! love it........

Heya retrosling, if you mean when you are in the "Phone" app, then yes, some images may not be fully skinned, but this is a limitation of the HTC Sense Skin .apk format itself. Note that there are no flashable .zips needed to use this theme, and that should allow it to be installed on multiple devices (with Sense 2.1 of course).
To skin many other components means that I would have to build a flashable .zip which modifies 'framework-res.apk', 'com.htc.resources.apk' and 'SystemUI.apk', and since these are based on certain ROMs, and can therefore be unique, I chose not to go that route for this theme (the logistics/maintenance of handling all bases/versions/ROM-specific customizations for these 3 .apks would be a nightmare of time consumption!)
Believe me, that I skinned nearly every single PNG that would allow it. The only ones missing (for now) would be for landscape support. Once we start getting more GingerSense ROMs with landscape homescreens, I will be adding them though. Good thing for updating is that you'd just have to re-download the .apk (same exact link/filename), and the .XML file defines that it's a newer version, then your phone should ask you if you want to update it. Super clean this .apk Skin route.
To everyone else who offered your great comments/feedback, thank you very much!! It's great to see others enjoying the benefits of the hard work it took to put together this theme!
All the best.
Just tried this on Robocik's v1.2 a2sd cm7 hboot and it does not seem to work.
Have I missed something?
Amazing.
I will say that I have allways found the backdrops you pick very distracting and make the icons hard to see, but then I am addicted to the glactic core live wallpaper - you should try it with the pcb sense - it really ties the screen theme together!
One thing I miss from the old PCB theme is the green circuit board buttons, but then I am sure I will get used to this... (see attached for what I mean)
perhaps an option in the future?
Again, Thanks!!!
Warmly, Marty

Hey ericb, thanks for trying this out on RCMix v1.2...I am not sure why it didn't work for you, as it should be in MENU --> PERSONALIZE --> SKIN. There is nothing specific relating to InsertCoin, so maybe it didn't install properly? Did you get any errors when you clicked on the .apk from a file browser to install it?
Only other thing I can think of would be to "Allow Unknown Sources" in SETTINGS --> APPLICATIONS, which might allow it to install since it isn't a pro-signed .apk.
Let me know though, as yours is the first report that it didn't work

Thanks Marty, this one was for you Anyways, I understand about the wallpaper/backdrop, but one NEEDS to be included in the .apk, and I figured people would pick their favourites anyways. I will also check out that galactic core LW that you love so dearly
I hear ya about the green PCB traces in my old theme version, and I went with grey this time because I wanted to make other colour versions overall. This would give the theme more consistency across all colour mods, since when you press those buttons, they light up green (and in the future, /blue/etc.).
Nothing's impossible though, so if I get a chance, I may make a classic version like that. Otherwise, if you REALLY want it, you can PM me and I can .zip up the files from the old theme so that you can drop them in this .apk and reinstall it...
@scar45
Just checked again and it had loaded ok.
Must have been impatient first time.
Looks really cool with great detailing.
Just need to work out how to change the top and bottom bits of the screen to match your skin.
Currently it is black and doesn't quite enhance yours.
I will feedback any problems.
Thanks for your reply

In terms of your top and bottom bits, if you are able to upload a screenshot that might help, but otherwise I'm not too sure which part you're talking about.

Hey Scar,
Well I slept on it (1.5 hours sleep last night, I am going to be a mess at uni today)
and I have to say I do prefer the one with the green buttons -
It breaks up all the grey a bit, and matches really well with the green traces on the clock.
So I would love a green version if you can make it.. - and I can imagine how cool a red and blue version will look too -
You should sell your theme to HTC and get it included as standard, make some $$$$ its very geeky and DIFFERENT from all the other themes that just look the same.
Warmly, Marty
ps: I will be making a donation in the next week or so, but don't let that influence you in any way.. (ie its not a bribe - you bloody deserve it!) HOWEVER please don't spend it on smokes mate - I have lost both parents to cancer a few years ago, and we just buried my partners mother who also died last week from lung cancer. - only telling you this cause I care ok!

Wow Marty, that's a hard-hitting factual story there, and I first my send my condolences to you and your partner as well. Losing someone to cancer is absolutely horrible, as I have had similar experiences in my life (although thank God no one in my immediate family). I promise you I will never squander any contributions that people send my way, as I really use it to help me stay living in my home and eating food Times are tight, but the joy that one can get from these types of devices is very much worth it.
I will definitely whip up a 'traditional edition' for you and anyone else who wants to download it though, as soon as I get some time (blah blah, broken record on my shortness of 'time' I know )

Sorry to be unclear.
I am talking about the top notification bar and the bottom button bar.
Would be nice to be able to colour match to give a seamless green colour to the skin.
This Skin is the ****! Incredible Work!
Can you also make a Sense 3.0 Skin?

Thank you, its appreciated mate. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
By the way, do you have the framework you use for all the notification icons battery mod etc?? Are you running the CM7 version?
Would love to use it - if I start mucking around in the UOT kitchen, I will never leave - too much choice.
Awesome - thank you! First theme I am actually going to install.
Running on IC CM7 v20, btw.
