No icons, no wallpaper, no images of any kind. I've seen themes that used images of text to get the aesthetic down, which is still cool, but it seems like there's room for a launcher with a super tiny footprint that also looks sweet. Of course, if I've missed it, and this already exists, I'd love to be corrected.
Icons: plain text but could be include the ascii round of characters, maybe even the full unicode set?
Folders: Like any other asciicon. You could add a smaller ascii symbol to the lower right/left hand corner to signify it was a folder not a program if you really wanted. You could create a folder with ascii art.
Wallpaper: ASCII art. Not a photo thereof, actual ASCII. Would need the ability to alter color and perhaps alpha to avoid confusion with foreground.
Widgets: text output only. Input fields would be reminiscent of a terminal input. Associated buttons would be dealt with a la asciicons, with ascii symbols.
Customizability: on par with ADW or LP.
I'd pay for that ^. Would anyone else? I realize these days with super phones, live wallpaper and 3d carosels are more sexy, but there are a lot of hacked devices running froyo that are still light on specs and plain text can have a nice sharp retro appeal. It seems like there's a potential market there for an enterprising developer.
Is there a launcher whose theme engine could produce a plain text only setup? Would the footprint be significantly reduced by such a theme?
What this lacks in popularity, it makes up for unanimity. 100% in favor. An enterprising developer could just charge me and that one other guy who likes the idea a fortune each and still turn a profit! Any takers?
One last New Year's bump.
Hi,
I'm currently learning Android programming and studying Launcher2 code. In near future I will be starting a launcher which will have a pseudo-graphic text mode (remember Turbo Pascal?) with minimalist (16x16?) icons, some simple widgets, notepad/folders (which will work like resizable and stackable windows), and a commandline mode (can be configured to mimic either DOS or Linux, but with some builtin shortcuts and functions for Android usage). It doesn't have a name yet. I will certainly announce it on xda when any usable version will be finished and tested on at least a few devices.

Sounds interesting, I look forward to it. Are you gearing the text mode to have a super small footprint, or is it more for nostalgia's sake?

Mainly for nostalgia's sake and "I just want it on my phone so badly and no one did it before" sake, though I know few people who could use it. I wouldn't release the project open source but it will probably free for ever. I won't include all dos/linux commands, of course (keep it simple and not bloated), and i will simplify/shortcut some things for android usage (like, running apps from CLI just by their name, not any going-in-depths-to-system-folders stuff), though I shouldn't spoil everything already lol. Also I still have a 2.3.7 device...
I've found lightning launcher and it's the lightest weight launcher I've found. My 528mhz dinosaur actually feels snappy again after I pared down the options to it's most minimal setup. What's more there are lots of customizations available even for devices that aren't ancient.
It's not plain text, but it is light.
I've been looking for a theme like this for a long time, never found one. It would be cool to have a phone without all the aesthetics. Black screen with only text , or very small symbols.
hey guys, i've interop unlocked my lumia 1520, i've installed customPFD without replacing, just added interop capabilities on the manifest file, so, I applyed a tweak that add one accent color, but I want some more, anyway to do that?
Adding more is tricky, because the OS relies on binary application data files as well as on the registry for handling theme colors and the like. The better option is simply to alter some of the existing (built-in) colors. They're in the registry, I think one set each for light and dark themes.

You mean Font Creator Program?
You can find the English crack version online
The latest version is 10
It is only for W10M? If yes you can publish it in this section http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/windows-10-mobile
incidentally is very good, I like the battery icon in landscape mode or is larger, but this great ...
Yes but I don't know XDA has Windows 10 mobile form :-/
And I have a battery icon and more fixed version, but I won't upload it very soon

According to forum posts @tingtongku greatly inspired by this success has been modified in vain, however, because the original post is more chaotic, and now I send one another again. First, by win10mobile jailbreak, jailbreak address address reproduced here
The first step, then jailbreak jailbreak note here, lumia choice vcREG_v1.2.0.1_W10edition.xap the like, non-lumia select Root_Tool.xap this, please go to the detailed tutorial jailbreak jailbreak Posts
lumia escape, deploy open vcREG_v1.2.0.1_W10edition.xap Press ellipsis to select the lower right corner of the "Templates", after selecting Twenty-two options, a fourth permanent interaction seems to be what (suggesting that the jailbreak developers need to open by mode to install the jailbreak software, remember to restart after the jailbreak, or connected to a computer can not create a folder)
After the jailbreak can download their own registry following font substitution, Registry Editor Share @ Yau Sang Egg Found Click to open the message, download registry editor
The second step, and change the font into the topic that took up in jail with a cell phone connected to the computer, (Note that this procedure must be done by computer), open the phone storage \ Windows \ Fonts, in the file New Folder folder Fonts (file folder names can be freely but it is best not Chinese), then you need to put into the font (the font name must note replaced msyh, suffix format ttf, for example: msyh.ttf certainly can not change, change the registry directly , but important to the trouble) after open the registry editor to locate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Fonts], there should be a bunch of keys with (TrueType) of (I use the registry to open location is HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Fonts)
English Font:
Arial (TrueType)
Arial Black (TrueType)
Arial Bold (TrueType)
Arial Bold Italic (TrueType)
Arial Italic (TrueType)
Segoe UI (TrueType)
Segoe UI Black (TrueType)

Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)
Segoe UI Light (TrueType)
Chinese font:
Microsoft YaHei & Microsoft YaHei UI (TrueType)
Microsoft JhengHei & Microsoft JhengHei UI (TrueType)
The third step, then we have to apply the font change the font, directly to the registry 'Microsoft YaHei & Microsoft YaHei UI (TrueType)' to modify the value of the corresponding font (click on the value to edit), specific to Fonts \ msyh.ttf (Note Fonts \ this is the document that you create a folder name, and if it is ZITI to ZITI \)
Brief is the first front in the key you want to modify, plus 'folder name \' (folder name at random, but it is best not to use Chinese)
For chestnuts, I posted the annex of the folder name is 'Fonts', you need to key in the front plus Fonts \
For example Arial (TrueType) The key for arial.ttf, compared with the revised Fonts \ arial.ttf
Reproduced here about the big share in the font Fonts.zip Jane fonts for Microsoft elegant black Light, Traditional Chinese fonts for Microsoft is black Light, English fonts are Helvetica font and font San Francisco
And other wire line and fonts .zip
Tips, here you need to restart the font after writing the registry to take effect, but if you want to verify that there is no font problems, please open qq qq space inside the press or whatever view there is no distortion (note the page issue, edge did not open the page this issue may browse invoke different browsers), set inside a strange font has restarted several times should be no problem, if there is just need the registry 'Microsoft YaHei & Microsoft YaHei UI (TrueType)' this value is modified to msyh. ttc restart the like, can retry after replace other fonts, then note if the font in effect if you want to replace other fonts must be in accordance with this method of exchange for the original font, or to the value-oriented, such as your Font name: fonts \ arial.ttf (fonts \ the font name suffix)
Well, the last to share on-line forum apk conversion method appx Andrews
The downloaded file is stored on your phone or sd card to install new applications to your phone position (open storage installation location can be set up), and then click to download the file, wait twelve minutes (less the program) should be the installation is complete , note that if the core is the need to modify the program to crack and the like can not be installed, of course, the other can be installed directly
