Hi All, thought I would publish my first effort at a WAD2 theme. My main aim after using other peoples themes was to make one that is 'thumb friendly' and real simple to use. It has 3 menu pages with large graphical buttons, and a 'home' screen with shortcuts to txt, email and call list. this theme is 99% portrait, how ever on my touch pro 2 if i flip the keyboard and go to landscape i do have a very basic black home screen with the 3 shortcuts. If people like the theme and would like to produce their own icons, let me know and I can post up some photoshop templates.
Installation
Install the files to your normal theme directory and search for new themes, then select Angularz as your portrait and/or landscape theme. Please make sure you install the fonts prior to use, as it may not the clock etc correctly.
Fonts
I use helvetica Neue fonts in the theme and have supplied these in the zip file. I also have replaced my system font with helvetica as it looks nicer, but I will leave that down to you. If you just want to use the fonts for WAD only, place the 3 helvetica fonts in your windows folder (with the rest of the system fonts)
I think I have packaged up all the correct bits (if not please let me know!!)
PLEASE CAN A MOD ALLOW ME TO SHARE LINKS!!
This looks neat. Nice docks.
good day.
it's just WOW!!
Thankyou!, I just wanted something simple but visually nice to look at, and this is the end result!
I find that if you increase the display cache size (through altering the windows registry) it does make it scroll through pages a little smoother.
thatbastard,
I'm using your theme and IMO, it is a simple but gorgeus. However, I have a problem with all notifiers. They are not appeared when I have some unread sms or missed calls. Do you have any suggestions? My device is Omnia i8000.
hi Laruku
You can try going to author mode, then page - show notifiers. Go to the properties once held down on the notifier and have a look through there. Mine is set on 'notifier type - unread sms' etc. by default this should work, however I dont know how different it would be on an omia. have a look in there and see if anything has changed.
how do you get out of author mode
taphold at any page and you'll get yourself the popup menu, i forgot which is the get out of author mode menu,,, but it is there,,,
@thatbastard,
would you mind sharing the images? the home wallpaper is really nice.
new version of WAD converts all the images folder into .wadesktop extension,,, which prevents me for extracting the images,
thx
here's my version
hello everybody !
Here's MY angularz, i hope you'll like this.
Koralii
you can see this on Youtube : v=GXtEynNZaf4 (sorry but i'm new here and can't post the shortcut.
Great Work
Great to see an original piece of work. i will give this a shot
Thanks for adding a bit of originality to my blackstone
Mark
Looks great !!!
wow, great theme
i think i'll make some personal changes and it'd be perfect for my daily use, YO~
DOOD JOB!!
Really nice. It's a shame, imo, that windows phone7 doesn't look more like this. My only comment would be that it might look better to have the text in panels up and to the right a few pixels, and have the voicemail icon transparent. (I can only comment on the screenshot as I don't have VAD2 installed on my device...
Thought it would be handy to have a volume icon on the home screen...

Hi all, thanks for checking out my theme, Ive glad youve all liked it. Unfortunately I dont have wisbar installed anymore (and Ive had a lot goin on recently) so will not be continuing anymore projects but I thought I would share the remaining files I have. You can continue modding from my theme as freely as you like, as long as you mention it was based on my creation

Sure, there should be a zip file with ALL the angularz images. Ive also included a new homescreen which is a gloss black version (was going to be called Mono Tonez) but it will not be finished.
Enjoy!
good looking theme
willing to release a WQVGA version?
I´m new user of wad and i don´t know how to install this theme. I´ve installed mortscript and wad, and theme in lakerbridge/themes, and fonts in windows/start menu/programs fonts folder, but I don´t know where install angularz.wadesktop
Thanks a lot of.
Uncle Google says:
1. Using ActiveSync, copy the .wadesktop file to any location on your device.
2. From your device, use File Explorer to navigate to the .wadesktop file you just placed there, then tap on it to launch it.
3. You will be prompted as to a location to place the extracted files. Choose any location you wish (I personally find it helpful to have a Themes folder set up in advance).
4. Once the files are extracted, open WisBar Advance Desktop (if it's not open already), tap and hold on the screen, then tap Change Theme.
5. Now tap Menu > Scan for Themes. When the scanning process is complete, the theme you just installed should appear on the list.
6. Tap the theme, then tap Menu. Choose the appropriate menu option for setting as portrait or landscape. Please note that theme files are usually designed for one orientation or the other.
7. Tap Apply and you're done.
This should get you set up.
Thank you, uncle...
I´ll try.
REWARD:
Any skinner that creates and either posts or sends me a valid OMC theme to publish gets the full app for free!
One More Clock! has been on the market for a few weeks, and recently I've added a powerful skinning engine to the app. However, what's a good skinning engine without skins? The first place I thought of was XDA.
So without further ado:
The app is available on the market as One More Clock Free... the apk is also attached.
1) Add one OMC widget to your home screen. Then click on the clock to get to the options screen.
2) Click on "Widget Theme" to download the starter pack. After that is done, you will have an /OMC folder on your sd card.
3) Click on "Enable/Disable Widget Sizes" from the prefs screen and enable Theme Tester. Back out until you get back to your home screen.
4) The attached 4 tutorials can then be unzipped over the existing content in the OMC folder.
5) Look at the 00control.xml file in each of the four folders for a detailed tutorial on how OMC skinning works!
The OMC Theme Tester (the Raccoon) is a handy tool for rapid tweaks and changes to your theme:
1) Once you have a valid basic xml file, copy the theme folder to the SD card using ADB explorer or similar.
2) Fire up the OMC theme tester on your phone/emulator, and select your theme from the list.
3) the 4x2, 4x1 and 3x1 widgets are rendered onscreen and re-read from sdcard every 3 seconds.
4) make any changes you have for the fonts, bitmaps or 00control.xml file from your computer, and push to the phone via ADB to see the changes instantly!
When you're happy with the theme, just zip up the theme folder and rename the extension to .omc .
To offer downloads of the theme to paid users, after you upload the .omc file, rename the http:// to omc:// and https:// to omcs:// . OMC (paid version) is configured to automatically install any themes found at an omc: link, no download/unzip required.
Thanks!
I guess I can go first, too...
Since I laid down a reward for skinners, I guess I should prove OMC to be worth your time. Here you go (Iron Indicant)... this theme was created in 2 hours over the last two days (mostly photoshopping the background).
The clock face rotates with the time of day. There aren't many clock widgets out there that can render that...
Or this one (Hello Droid) - just something fun and different. Can I interest anyone?
Or how about this (Vertical)?
And second...
Here's a theme that a tester submitted to me earlier. Anyone interested?
And third.
Just one more for today - Dyma Dynamics.

Introducing
Smoochiezz's Sweet! Swypes
Are you tired of that ugly gray swype? Ugh, so was I. Wish you could add a pop of color to it? Well look no further. I present to you my Sweet! Swypes. Featuring every color of the rainbow with some in varying shades. Sure to be a favorite amongst guys and gals. I will start producing different styles of keyboards of and then updating with my selected shades. All other shades will be by request. I made these for personal use but there's no harm in sharing ;-)

Directions To Apply
*Open up your chosen file explorer. Navigate to \data\app\ and locate the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk ( If you choose to use Es you will have to go into Settings>Tick Root Explorer Box)
*Copy the Swype apk to the root of your sdcard. (The theme will only take if the apk is in the root.)
*Go to Metamorph and select "Unzip/Extract New Theme"
*Navigate to wherever you downloaded your chosen theme to. (If you downloaded from the Xda App, it will be located in /sdcard/tapatalk_download/ I have Xda Premium and this is where mine is located)
*You will be presented with a preview and you may now choose "Apply All". Congrats! You have themed your Swype. Now onto signing and install!
*You Must sign the zip or else you will get constant force closes. Thats where ZipSigner2 helps. So let's open that up.

*Your output should now read /sdcard/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1-signed.apk
*Leave the key mode on "auto-testkey" and Sign The File.
*Before going further, you should make a backup of your data with Titanium Backup or your preserver program of choice. This will collect your personal dictionary for late use. Now uninstall Swype (not the Installer, This step is not mandatory but is recommended to prevent any errors so just do it : ) )
*Using your file explorer, now install the signed swype. (There will be two on your sdcard. The themed one and the themed signed one. Make sure you install the one with "-signed.apk" at the end. If you choose the other one, you WILL get force closes)
*Go to the "Swype Installer" program and activate and choose swype.
*The final and most CRUCIALLLLLLLL step of them all.......ENJOY!
Requests & FormatsI would like to help other people get a swype that they feel is custom to their wants. I am by NO MEANS a graphic deisgner. I just edit existing images. I dont use Photoshop or Corel therefore I do not promise a "professional looking" result. I will however try my best. I can theme swype multicolor as well. Refer to the following rough draft image to see the different aspects that may be themed. (I know its a bit jarringly bright but i was working on a girly theme when i uploaded it). If you do submit a request, please list the five colors and their corresponding titles. All requests are not guaranteed to be completed but I do promise to try. Until then, enjoy the unicolor ones above.

Possible to do a white one?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Is there no way to prepackage the modified apk's?
I can do a white one. Right now I'm trying to get these tracers down pat right now but I fan crank out a couple of more while I research. Premodified apk's are a nono of swype and is illegal. I would have definitely did it if I could have.
Hey bro, first off, nice work, Thanks !
**My MAIN quesion is : Most of the Swype mods (yers & DJDK) I couldn't help but notice that the 'Voice to Text' Icon appears to be missing ... is it just the icon that is missing or is the 'Voice Input' function perhaps not possible to mod >?
I really like that feature, esp when driving, but really jusy use it a lot in general, sol I wanted to ask .... thanks again for yer efforts !

I haven't seen DJDK's work but I know that the voice input button is definitely there in mine. Have you applied the morph? Its not in the screenshot because its actually an seperate image that is overlayed on the original. The reason why? I have no idea. Same thing with swype logo which is not present in the screenshot either.

Did my first white one today. Its called MarshmallowwIndigo and is available under" Upcoming Themes & Series". A series of different colors will follow. If you specify what color you'd like along with the white, I can make yours the next in the series.
I would love to try one of these different colors but since Swype came on my Bionic phone i do not have the swype beta installed or the installer so i can't find the apk file that is needed for step 1. Do i need to install the beta and the installer even though Swype is already installed on my phone?
It should still work even though you don't have the beta. Your swype is probably located in system/app and named swype.apk or something of that nature. Just copy it to your sd card and rename it to com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk. Then morph as usual.
When I try to install the new, themed com.swype.android.inputmethod-1, I get an "Application not installed" message from Android. Then when I go to my Swype beta installer, the option for the themed swype isn't available. Is this because I am on the 3.26 beta instead of the 3.25?
Introducing my latest project, the Honeycomb Skin Maker and Tablet Skin Installer.
Honeycomb Skin Maker can modify SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to allow skinning system files on honeycomb tablets. Paired with the Android app "Tablet Skin Installer" skins can be applied easily with virtually no hacking required.
All images within these two APKs can be modified, and the XML files inside are modifiable to allow much greater skinning possibilities than previously possible.
Honeycomb Skin Maker can make .androidskin files which must be placed in the "Skins" folder on your internal SD card. This folder is created automatically when "Tablet Skin Installer" is first run.
The app requires root, and I can't give enough warnings about the potential to damage your tablet with this program. Ensure you have a method of recovery before attempting to install / make a skin.
Download Honeycomb Skin Maker for free from stormwave.me.uk/AndroidSkinInstaller/
(I can't post links yet).
It is still early days for this project and I have many ideas on how to expand it, but all feedback is appreciated and will be taken onboard.
Seems to be a very helpful project for themers!
Honeycomb Skin Maker v0.2
Thanks for the link and screenshot, that's a really big help.
The app is now free, I may choose to add a paid verson in the future.
I really want people to try this out as I think it'll make theming much easier.
Also, would it be possible for a moderator to add [TOOLS] to the beginning of this thread title?
Here is a market link to the skin installer.
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImNvbS5zdG9ybXdhdmUuc2tpbmluc3RhbGxlciJd
I'll have to give this a test run as it looks pretty nice. Thanks for making it.
im tring to edit an .xml, because my systemui.apk will not decompile with any tools due to multilple resource errors. when I change a string in the xml with honeycombskinmaker.. it says dimension attribute not set, etc. any idea? built an .androidskin and installed on device streak 7, and doesnt show up in list in app. theres a blank listing at top but tried that, rebooted fine but didnt see changes I was hoping for: trying to edit HC 3.2 status bar clock color and change to bold. ?? thanks.
