Home/Lock Screen Snapshots.

I would like to see what other people’s home/lock screens look like.
How do I take a screenshot of mine? Is there an application for that somewhere?
If someone could point me to the best reference areas I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
Please! share your home/lock screens with me.

Hey churapa, there are apps for that, but the Android SDK is the easiest way. Just enable USB debugging, open ddms from the SDK\tools folder, make sure you can see your phone, and press Ctrl+S.
Here's what mine looks like: i.imgur.com/jvaVX.png

It's an apk called "free memory", it manages apks and frees up memory space according to your settings. It's freeware and you can google for it.

I have not attempted to connect my phone to the PC yet, what are the apps that can do this?
Thanks

First, you have to root your phone:

Second, flash the room of your liking, I personally prefer attn1's Liberated B05:

Third, install whichever apk you wish, just read the forums, that way you'll learn hands on the job, believe me, it's the best way to go.

Which themes are you all using to get a black notification bar? I've looked and can't find any.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

My notification bar came black wen I got my Aria... Check to see if you have android 2.+ I kno my lil sister had a HTC Hero with android 1.6 on it and the notification bar was white but wen I updated it to 2.1 for her and it changed to black so I guess that's wat it is.....o Yea n unless you got a custom rom that changed it... But im juss s noob so ill admit dat I might b completely wrong lol

[Q] HTC Hero Sprint Icon Question

Is it possible to change icons? If so, how?
My phone is rooted, and using the stock rom it came with from Sprint.
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software: 2.27.651.5
Thanks for the help!

If you use launcher pro from the market as your launcher you can change the icons and the name too...
Long press on a blank space and add the app you want...tap on its picture to load your gallery and choose whatever icon you would like...there are plenty to download...

Hm.. That's a quick way, thanks Vandelay007. Do you happen to know a way without using Launcher Pro though? Oddly enough, I like the default launcher.

Download Desktop Visualizer from the Market. Allows you to put custom icon shortcuts anywhere on your desktop for just about anything. You can't change any of the taskbar or menu icons, but it does allow you to change/customize any icons you put on your desktop home screens.

I'll definitely use this way next time though. You can't imagine how long it takes a "n00b" to find the Folder shortcut icon.
Thank you everyone for your help.

Looks like he did... I have to say, if this guy describes himself as a noob, and he managed to search and figure out how to theme without needing to aska lot of questions, I shudder to think what we have to call the people who not only don't know what they're talking about, but also can't search for it...
You can't believe how happy I am to see search work that well. It kind of scares me how happy I am.

Haha, thanks for the compliment! It really wasn't that hard to be honest. Just resize the png, rename it, and find where to put it. Once you figure out that you can open .apk files with 7zip, the rest is a cake walk!
The problem with most n00bs is that they don't want to get their hands dirty... and the laziness! Haha.

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

Man, i would love to have a lockscreen like that.

I would love to have a Widget like the Clock

I made an ownskin live wallpaper made out of the images from that theme, looked better than I thought:

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

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

Stock Sense Notification Sounds / Alarms.

I don't know about the rest of you, but one of the biggest downsides of running Cyanogen was not having my stock notification / txt sounds. So I decided to post them for you guys.
Attached is the stock alarms / notifications / ringtones / ui sounds. Enjoy.

not an aria owner, but don't have an HTC phone so i really appreciate this.

Just make a folder on your SD cards that says "Sense Sounds" or whatever you want. It will automatically scan over them and add them

Easiest way IMO is to put them sounds directly into the /system/audio/ folder.

Running these with CM7. Life is good.

Right on. Via recovery (adb) for an existing ROM or directly into zip if before flashing.

Thanks a lot! I went crazy not able to recognize my different notifications anymore!

thaanks a lot! I was searching for this.
I just flashed my Wildfire to Cyanogenmod and I miss my good ol' Sense sounds

Thanks! I just switched my AMOLED DInc to CM7 and I just couldn't get used to its notifications. Now I have them all.

Thanks button is missing for me on the OP for some reason. Doesn't matter, thanked you anyway on a later post. You are amazing, thank you so much.

FINALLY worked out how to change fonts in one click hehe.

been gagging to change font:
got approx 70 fonts to choose from:
"This is excellent. From your description I just assumed it changed the system font, and I thought "So. I've seen other apps that do that." Then I tried it and saw what it does!
You should mention in the OP that it comes with a downloadable catalog of fonts and downloads and sets them for you, as that's the MAIN feature!" - XDA member: johncmolyneux

click picture in this post to c how 2 install

Nice job man, thanks

it changed my font to chinese...wtf
EDIT:nvm, just had to reboot

Good find mike tyson;p

Thanks for the find, been looking for a way to do this ever since I flashed the phone.
This is probably a stupid question, so I'm assuming to change it back to the original font we would just uninstall the app?

works a treat, excellent app.
