Hey everyone,
Ive been running strong here on slimbean for a while now. And while its great I want some of the functionality features from the stock rom. Maybe its a android version thing, anyways what Im wanting to go back to is how under the contacts list, you swipe a contact name one way for text messaging and swipe the other way to call the person...even under the text message listing I think you could simply swipe the contact name and call the person. If you know what Im talking about, is this functionality available on a custom rom available? Im going to feel silly going back to stock just for that. Maybe im slow but I do it at least a couple times a week, ill browse through contacts click on who i want to call and put the phone to my ear, never calling the person b/c you have to click 'call' after selecting your contact. Hope im not sounding whiney, all you guys do things i couldnt.
thanks!
That feature is only found in the stock rom. You could check the play store to see if there is an app that will do the same thing, but that is all I can suggest.
ok cool dvarl thanks. I guess i can search for contact organizer? seems like it might be part of a launcher setting?

Now that more and more themes are rolling out for the Fascinate I figured it would be time to start a Fascinate specific thread with screenshots of your layouts/themes. Ill start it off with something I finished last night. Will be changing it up probably every other day until I find something that is crazily perfect haha.

What theme/home are you running, I remember seeing someone post up about it but I cant remember what it was called and where they got it.
Old screenshots but should give you an idea of what's coming next.

I'm sorry, I don't want to be That Guy, but how do you theme widgets like that?
The one thing that's been keeping me from using them is a lack of uniformity.

Pull them, edit images, push back into system. Don't worry I will release a flashable zip for the themed widgets.
Here are mine as they go from left to right on my phone.
^^^How the hell did you get you contact pics to look that good? Mine look like a digital camera from 1991 took them, atleast in the people widget they do.
They're the pictures that I assigned to my Gmail contacts on my computer. They were taken with a 10mp camera.
Wish I knew how to do more......

Probably a dumb question with a simple answer, but how did you get your YouTube widget to look that way? All I get is the logo and the search and upload button.

I really like how you are keeping the look UltraLinx(sp?) had going. I look forward to the flashable .zip!
Quick question: I do not see some widget specific .apk's in my system/apps, so where would those be located? I'm thinking data/apps but I'm not sure. Sorry ahead of time if this is a noob question.
Thanks!

Correct on the widgets, they were actually started by someone else but lynx took over at one point.
All your system apps will be in system/app and installed or market apps in data/app.
I will release a zip that will push any themed widgets to system/app.

Pretty basic. Just using Launcher Pro Plus for the most part. Linked off my FB until I get home and upload to FTP.
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.

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.
heres the launcher if anyone wants it... not my work, came from modaco, just reposting it for the captivate...need to be runnin 2.2 for it to work
and the rest of the widgets
Ooooooh looking pretty nifty, but since I'm usually running LP, this just seems a little slow for me, but I like the widgets and, I dunno, just looks really fresh. Good find!!
ya i typically stick with launcher pro but every so often ill switch things up
Thanks butCan't login to facebook in social widget

You have to be running Dell Stage as the launcher to use any of the widgets. The Stage launcher is the first APK attached to the OP.

u can disable the screens by just draggin the screen to the trash like any other widget... theyre are just really big widgets haha

just regular installer
for the phone app you have to replace it or rename it to phone.apk coz if ur phone apk is like lets say samsungphone.apk the luncher doesnt recognize it. but idk how to do this and this is mentioned in the original post. if someone figures out how to replace the phone.apk on a custom rom without screwing things up ill give em a hug! lol
hey guys, so here is something i've playing around with for the last 2 days and everything is fine except for the text on the pop up menus i can get it to show white instead of black... check the screenshots...

What popup menus are you talking about? Maybe a picture of that particular issue? I think I may have a solution, but not positive what you're talking about

the third screenshot with the calendar .... the settings that pop up when you press the menu button have no text (they do but is black so u cant see it unless you scroll with the trackpad)
very nice cant wait till its done.
I'm trying to decide whether or not it's LauncherPro or framework-res. Probably framework. Try looking into your res folder of your framework-res.apk and compare it with a regular CM6 rom.
IE check everything that says menu, list, background or bg in the folder. One of em is bound to be it. I'm looking through the folder right now but i need to download a rom to compare it with. If it's not in the drawable image folders, I assume it's a simple color. So check the Menu XMLs in the Drawable folder.
