Open Home - Cupcake Edition is here

I have to say its the best home app out there now. I am using it with my modded Carbon glow theme as the default theme.
The pull out dock and soft keyboard is nice and I love the 7 screens.
There is auto rotate and many themes on the market. And the live folder shortcut option (although I wish there was a starred numbers live folder).
It also runs a lot smoother and doesnt take as long to get back to the home screen.
What do you think?

What are the live folders? Nothing shows up for me when I expand the tab
And yes, definatly THE best home alternative there is, I use it with glossy minimalism.

You have to download the add-on app to go with it. Search for Live Folder.

I like it... I'm glad he fixed the Fadetoblue theme.
I like the onscreen soft keyboard.
I like the Application Dock.
I like being able to turn off the workspace lable (W1, W2, etc).
I don't like the stupid watermark (although I'm sure the full version will get rid of that).
All in all I would say that it was a good improvement.
We just need the widgets to go with it!

nice update,
keyboard search is neat and they've added voice search
not sure I'll really use the slide out dock, and
haven't figured out if we can add apps to it.
I installed live folder,
it looks slick but chose the wrong contacts

You are right it does need widget... also bettercut doesnt work great w/ it. Bettercut keeps forgetting that i am working on Open Home so it keeps showing me the original home icons. kind of annoying.

In my opinion it's the best home screen alternative but it remains to be the only one without new widgets. What's up with that? LOL.
I also took a look at the website and they assured us that this app was based off the cupcake actual code so when cupcake is release it should still work flawlessly whereas the others, dxtop, ahome, etc., may not work properly if at all. Let's hope they're right.

Grr..I saw the paid version last night on my way to bed, and thought to myself...Im going to DL that in the morning (ive been waiting for over a week now for this) I woke up this morning, and the paid version is not showing up in the market for me. Is anyone else having this issue??

I like Icon dock, I hope aHome has this dock.
- The dock should be at the bottom of the screen, or on the top of screen
- Should have an option to hide application bar
- Should change interface of the star (which's used to hide/show Dock)
- Should add option to choose landscape mode only
- Need option auto change all icon in G1 (include appications dowloaded from market). This option run as Itune of Apple. Itune auto creat new interface icon for applications downloaded from Itune Store. Original icon of application is not good as you see.

Ahome lite

i like it.. i really do... but i like ahome better..... and a home has more widgets... a big plus

AHome is suck. I always suffer from being forced to close the program. I like open home from the very beginning, and today's upgrade is totally amazing with floating dock bar and Cupcake-like keyboard search.
dxTop is my alternative when Open Home Cupcake is not available

I did a review in paid apps/games sticky on this, no watermarks, bettercut works flawlessly! Auto rotate runs slow, i disabled it. I want widgets too but i think the ones from ahome are big and not very well done.

Hmmm... I see it on mine. But this was posted a few hours after you posted your comment. I did notice that the Lite version had an update. Perhaps the dev took the paid version down so we could download an updated version?

to add apps to the dock just open it up and do as normal. long press and drag. you will need to drag the app off the home screen onto the dock.

Any screenshots?

This is a must have, love the screens, but its killing my battery.

Odd, not noticing any extra battery drain from it.

Neither am i, had it since paid version came out.

Why does everyone say better cut doesn't work with Open Home....every time Open Home is updated, they updated Better Cut to ASURE it works. I have yet to have 1 single problem using Better Cut with Open Home. If for ANY reason you are haveing issues, back out of Better Cut (not Home, but back your way out), then re-open. It should ask you to make icons for Home, or Open Home, obviously choose Open Home.
Also loving it still, bought the paid version of OH the second it hit the market Updates have been great. I don't have any battery loss, at lesat nothing I notice. I have a 2400mAh battery, so I'd probably notice it less than the rest of ya.
I'll post some screen shots in just a sec.
These screen shots are in order from screen 1 to 7. Screen 5 shows the soft keyboard, screen 6 shows the pull-out dock bar.

- Settings and custom sliders
- How-to create a theme [UPDATE SOON]
- Future updates and wishes
The thread is full of answers and questions. If you do a quick search you might find the answer you were looking for. If you can't
find it, don't hesitate to ask. There are other users here willing to help you. Feel free to comment in this thread or send me a PM
if you feel the thread needs an update on any of the steps.
After initial setup you can personalize your settings some more. The first thing you're going to wanna edit is the Layout
- The grid size: If you're familiar with LauncherPro or ADW you should know that grid sizes determines how the screen will look.
WidgetLocker allows for up to 10x10 grid. Try it out and see what you like best. The grid size also changes the way themes look.
You can think of it like changing your density, unless you use the anchor. It will automatically resize the theme to the appropriate
size. It doesn't work in landscape mode, though.
- The wallpaper: The issue is that the system can only have one wallpaper and it's shared globally. So WidgetLocker's custom
wallpapers are just images that WidgetLocker displays as a background. The best fix for this might be for WidgetLocker to let you select
a file, using gallery or astro or whatever, and then have WidgetLocker do the cropping itself. This way it gets the actual image and can still
crop it or scale it down (sanely) to avoid using so much memory, but can be done without banding. If you want to do it manually in the mean
time and are rooted you can replace WidgetLocker's /data/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/files/wallpaper.png with your own. Just make
sure the resolution matches your phones. Then disable/reenable WidgetLocker to get it to reload.
- Installing a custom slider: Since WidgetLocker 2.0 custom themes are supported and come in the .wltheme.zip format. This means you can
open it and your phone will prompt you to Install and Add the theme. The themes are saved on your SD card (/data/com.widgetlocker.teslacoilsw/themes).
You can also copy the theme.wltheme.zip to the folder on your SD card. Naturally the theme will be unavailable once your SD card is mounted to a
computer or something similar. It will return to normal once you unmount it again. You add the themes you've installed by longpressing the screen and
choose Custom Slider. There you can do even further settings, like slide from right to left. If not you simply press "Add".
- Advanced settings: You can use Root Helper to avoid seeing the standard Android lockscreen if you have root. This is not something the developer of
WidgetLocker can do anything about. Check the information found in the application regarding root and standard lockscreen. An alternative is downloading
NoLock from the Market. If you've got root and a custom ROM loaded you can probably disable the lockscreen under Power Settings.
1) Create a new document.
The height of the slider is 150 - but we're going to add two extra pixels. WidgetLocker uses _3.png which allows for up and downsizing of the sliders. That means the
themes can be used with basically any device, ranging from HTC Wildfire to the Motorola Xoom. It's still not a hundred percent - but it's a hell of a lot better than the
old way of theming. More on _3.png in the next step
2) The black pixel (_3.png)
As you can see in the image below I've added a 1x1 pixel on the very top of my image. You can either zoom in a couple of times or create a smallest box you possibly
can in full view. The pixel has to be 1x1 if not it'll be shown in the theme. Which doesn't look good. In the picture below I'm zoomed in at 200 % (I think).
Continue making your design.
3) The slider
The actual size of the slider you can change around just as much as the background. I usually go with the same height, that way aligning the slider and background seems
easier. This is pretty self explanatory, see the below image.
Continue making your design.
This is what you want your themes folder to look like. The slider_right is fully transparent. There's no need to actually make it transparent. If your background doesn't contain
any text you can include a second arrow (like above) but the other way so other users can choose themselves if the want to slide left or right. (Protip)
Then finally .zip the themes-folder!

Themes:
The image heights don't allow sliders to appear on the very bottom of screen. This goes especially for the iphone themes. The slider
and background height don't look the same height no matter what I try in Photoshop. There are other users that are reporting this; Is it a user issue
or something that should be addressed?
It's my fault for poor examples and documentation, but can be handled by themers. I should've made the default iPhone background 152px tall so themers
would know to keep that, but didn't. Themes assume HDPI, so one standard slider row is 150px tall. Three Patch images have the 1 pixel border on all sides,
so a 152px tall background will perfectly fill out one standard row. WidgetLocker will scale/stretch the image if the row size is different. I've attached an ugly
iPhone theme to demonstrate.
Same idea for the sense slider, it defaults to two rows, so 300px background, no need for the 2 extra pixels since it's not a three patch.
Is there a possibility to disable the Sense clock?
I'll add this soon. Not 2.0.1, but probably 2.0.2.
Wishes:
More ways to unlock the screen! It'd be great if we could make a slider like the one attached. That'd be freaking awesome to be honest with you.
That's something people have even have been sending me PMs about!
I think the attached could be done, remove the Anchor then resize an iPhone slider to be vertical. But the theme would like kind of funny horizontally since WL
rotates the other direction.
I'm definitely planning on some more unlock methods. HoneyComb for sure, possibly something like MIUI, and maybe the Samsung puzzle unlock as well as the Samsung
sweep glass (Which is kind of similar to that WP7 one, except for the transparent part.
Android 2.1 and 2.3, but not 2.2, could handle transparent WidgetLocker pretty easily, 2.2 has some bug where lock screen interactions are difficult for a transparent activity.
I can work around it, but it's a pain since most of my users are on 2.2. But it's on my radar.

As lock as the apk is signed you won't need to push it, just uninstall original and install new as normal.

My guess is most people won't sign their .apk after applying the images.
Unless they use the APK Manager-step in the 'tutorial' of course.

Don't you need root to get to the APK in the first place? I can't access data/app without Root Explorer

I'm a little unsure, but seeing as non-ROOTED users are pulling their .apks and pushing them back I'm guessing root isn't necessary to pull the app from /data.
If it were located in /system I'm sure you would need root in order to pull it.
Root Explorer allows you to explore the 'locked down' parts of your phone. You cannot access /data with normal file browsers.
But regardless; Without root you can pull the .apk using your computer.
If it's gonna work when you push it back is the bigger question.

You can backup application

There's a little confusion here about rooting.
Allow me to clear it up.
I'm not rooted. But I don't purchase apk files from the Market.
I download them all. So I originally have the apk files on my computer.
I then run the APK Manager and go from there, then put the signed apk file on my SD card, use Astro to install it and voila.

VintageVega by newbe5 (Zebwen) [Should also work perfectly on G-Tab]

Original post is here (competition post).
I have also posted this in the Vega section, but as the G-Tab has the exact same screen size and in some cases people are running very similar ROMs, this should work fine on your devices too (not tested though!). I have drawn heavily in the past from the G-Tab forums for things to use on my Vega, for which I thank you all! So this is hopefully my way of giving a little back
I'm going to keep this as short as possible otherwise it's going to swiftly turn into a wall of text, but here is a brief outline of that I was going for
I wanted a completely "unique" look for my Vega. I've tried basically every launcher/home screen available, and none of them felt right. Honeycomb is in the wild, but until that makes it's way to the Vega in a fast and stable form I wanted something that I enjoyed using day-to-day. So, here is VintageVega:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is an original pack created by me, containing 28 "Objects" and 3 Wallpapers (with a shelf to place some of the objects on) for now. I'm sure that I will add more later. Further down this post you will also find ALL of the PSD files I used to create all of the objects and wallpapers. So if you have Photoshop or GIMP you can edit these yourself to your own liking. You will be able to achieve this entire set up using entirely free applications available on the Android Market, and you will need NO knowledge of advanced tools (such as ADB from the Android SDK). this can all be done directly from your Vega.
To set up VintageVega, you will need the following apps:
ADW.Launcher (I am using ADWLauncher EX but normal ADW should be fine.
Set up your launcher Auto-Stretch icons, and set the grid to 6 Columns and 6 Rows (columns is flexible, but you will probably have to keep the rows at 6 for the shelf). Also I would fix the launcher orientation ot Landscape (VintageVega ONLY works in landscape mode!).
A nice clock widget! I use (and paid for) ShotClocks but you could easily use the free Big Ben Clock or many alternatives on the Market.
SiMi Folder Widget for creating lovely categorized folders on the desktop.
Desktop VisualizeR to place all of the objects in onto your screen
Here are some images of how I have set up my Vega using the VintageVega pack:
This is an EXAMPLE, you can set up VintageVega in any way you like!
Home screen:
Lightswitch on the right opens the app drawer (accross all screens).
clock is a ShotClocks widget.
Portrait on the left (of me and my daughter ) opens the Gallery app.
Cash Register under the portrait opens the Android Market.
Globe opens the browser (Miren Browser for me).
Calendar under the clock opens the Calendar App.
Scrapbook (with stamps) opens the Social Networking SiMi Folder widget (more on that later).
Toolbox opens the Settings menu.
Stack of letters on the shelf opens the Email app.
Office Screen:
The World Map opens Google Maps Application.
Books along the shelf opens Aldiko (but could easily open Kindle App or a SiMi Folder widget with multiple choices).
Newspaper rack opens news reader app (Pulse in my case).
Phone opens Skype.
Entertainment Screen:
Film Projector screen opens SiMi Folder containing BBC iPlayer and YouTube apps.
The 3 portraits along the top open: Angry Birds - Seasons | Angry Birds | Dungeon Defenders (The PST to create your own framed image is linked in the PST pack at the bottom of this post).
The Radio on the bottom right opens the Music App (but again, this could open another SiMi Folder).
The Games along the bottom left open a SiMi folder containing a list of my games, here is an example of how a SiMi Folder set up in this way looks:
Please note, ALL screen shots above have been lowered in quality to make them smaller files, the images are actually MUCH higher resolution than this.
To set up a SiMi Folder Widget:
Open the app Drawer and select SiMi Folder.
Select "Add Folder".
Choose a folder name, and set the folder type to "Apps", then click Save.
Select your newly created folder, and tap on "Applications" on the right.
Add all of your desired applications to the folder.
Click Save, and then exit.
All done!
To add an object to your home screen:
Copy all of the objects images in a folder to your memory card.
Long-press on a blank area of the screen and choose "Widgets" to add a widget.
Select one of the "Desktop VisualizeR" (from now on I will refer to this as DTV) sized widgets (selecting 4x4 gives the best image quality, then you can re-size the widget to the correct size afterwards.
Tap on the newly created DTV widget to open the DTV menu and start configuring your object.
For Icon, select one of the VintageVega Object images from the gallery (or whatever app you chose).
For Action, you can either select "Launch Application" to select a single application, or "Other" to choose a SiMi Folder that you have already set up.
Once you have selected an action, clear the Label field so it is blank.
Change the "Touch Effect" from Orange to "None".
Click OK!
That's it! It seems like a long process, but once you are used to it, you will be adding and moving objects to your hearts desire
And so, without ANY further waffling... Here are the files
Download the VintageVega Object Pack.
Download the VintageVega Wallpaper Pack.
PST files for those that wish to create their own framed images (or those who are just curious).
Wallpaper PST (Caution, 30mb File!) - High resolution PST file (with shelf) for you to create your own VintageVega wallpapers.
Objects PST - Source files for ALL of the objects included in VintageVega (incase you want to modify any of them yourself). NOTE: The social Icons pack included here was not created by me, it was created by Dawghouse and are free to use.
PLEASE do not repost these as your own work, but feel free to modify and enjoy this as you wish. Please let me know of any problems! And soon I will hopefully post some YouTube vids of this in action and some easy to follow tutorials on YouTube (for those of you who can't follow the written instructions ).
Enjoy!

This looks incredible. Most original idea i have seen for a home screen. Good work.

Thanks If anyone tries this on the G-Tab, be sure to get back to me and let me know how it goes!

Wow. Nice work. Very inventive.

SO this is nothing like a rom, but maybe more like a skin for ADW? I actually use this launcher and may have to give your idea a go around.......if i do i will post what happens!

Yea, this isn't a ROM, it's a kind of "Manual Skin" that doesn't require any knowledge of ADB (or any of the SDK tools) and doesn't require ClockworkMod flashing etc. You can use these packs to set your screen up however you like. This should also work in most launchers BTW, not just ADW.

I gotta admit,
This is pretty friggin tight!
Goog Job Zeb!

Thought I'd try this but got stuck because I couldn't find Desktop Visualizer in the app market. I tried downloading the apk but it crashes whenever I try to find a custom icon. Is there a fix for this or does anyone know of an alternative to Desktop Visualizer?
Thanks

Thanks for the kind words all! I'd love to see some screenshots if anyone has tried getting this set up on the G-Tab!

This look sick but very time consuming even for one that is tech savvy. Once again this is bad ass is there a way to put it all together in and zip format we could download and apply thru clockwork. Now that would be extremely bad ass.

I started playing with this today, unfortunately DTV wouldn't recognize the PSD objects as images. So I did a batch conversion from PSD to PNG using Adobe Fireworks and that worked for DTV to see them as icon images but the icons wouldn't line up (Sit) properly on the shelf of the wallpaper properly, even with setting the icons to Autostretch in ADW_EX settings.
I had to experiment with the cropping of the wallpaper to get the icons to sit nicely. However if I tried to resize the icons it wouldn't sit properly afterwards so I would be stuck with the original size of the object, leaving little room on the shelf to place other objects.
Also, DTV did not have the option for me to set the lightswitch object as the drawer launcher. So I had to create the lightswitch launcher under Settings > Add > Launcher Actions > Open/Close App Drawer. And from there Long Press the Icon > Edit > Click on Launcher Icon > Choose Lightswitch from Gallery (Or file Explorer). But that left the Lightswitch object on whatever page I created it on.
I was hoping I can set the lightswitch icon as the main dockbar button so it would show up on all the homescreens via ADW_EX settings but it only gave me the option to set the image as the background with the original icon still over it.
Thanks again Zeb, but as sweet as this theme looks, it seems its a very tedious task to achieve the proper "Vintage" look and feel with all the Haberdasheries on the GTAB.

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to try this out, I'll try my best to answer a couple of points:
1) You don't need to use the PSD files at all unless you want to change the original files. If you simply download the Object Pack (just above the bottom of the original post), all of the objects are already in PNG format and scaled correctly. There is also a PNG Wallpaper pack there too! So no need whatsoever to convert them from PSD unless you want to change them a bit first.
2) I'm not 100% sure ont he wallpaper sizing for the G-Tab (do you guys use the Big-Bar or Small-Bar?). This was tested on a Vega with the Small-Bar.
3) For the lightswitch, don't use a DTV icon. Just create a regular ADW-EX icon that opens the app drawer, and give it the lightswitch image for it's icon, then move it into the correct position on the sidebar (you can change the sidebar settings in ADW-EX to only have one icon slot, which is what I did for the switch.
If you try those things, you should be good to go It really shouldn't take long to set up, but I realise it might not be perfect no the G-Tab. I can always change some things to help if you need though!

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to try this out, I'll try my best to answer a couple of points:
1) You don't need to use the PSD files at all unless you want to change the original files. If you simply download the Object Pack (just above the bottom of the original post), all of the objects are already in PNG format and scaled correctly. There is also a PNG Wallpaper pack there too! So no need whatsoever to convert them from PSD unless you want to change them a bit first.

Hiya!
The Objects.. (The Till, Globe, Books, Mail, Etcc..) within the Above Zip file are in PSD format only, The Wallpaper and the Vintage Stamps are in PNG format.
Thanks for the tips on the set up, I'll give it another go when I get some free time.
Edit: I see where I went wrong, I DL'd the files at the very bottom and not the files below the Image Groups.

This might help!

Dang!

[Tablet Theme] VintageVega by newbe5 (Zebwen)

Original post is here (competition post).
I have also posted this in the Vega section, but as a lot of tablets have the exact same screen size (1024x600) and in some cases people are running very similar ROMs, this should work pretty well on other devices too (not tested though!), and in case any tweaking is needed, the PST files I used to create all of this are at the end of the post.. I have drawn heavily in the past from the G-Tab and Toshiba Folio 100 forums for things to use on my Vega, for which I thank you all! So this is hopefully my way of giving a little back
I'm going to keep this as short as possible otherwise it's going to swiftly turn into a wall of text, but here is a brief outline of that I was going for
I wanted a completely "unique" look for my Vega. I've tried basically every launcher/home screen available, and none of them felt right. Honeycomb is in the wild, but until that makes it's way to the Vega in a fast and stable form I wanted something that I enjoyed using day-to-day. So, here is VintageVega:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is an original pack created by me, containing 28 "Objects" and 3 Wallpapers (with a shelf to place some of the objects on) for now. I'm sure that I will add more later. Further down this post you will also find ALL of the PSD files I used to create all of the objects and wallpapers. So if you have Photoshop or GIMP you can edit these yourself to your own liking. You will be able to achieve this entire set up using entirely free applications available on the Android Market, and you will need NO knowledge of advanced tools (such as ADB from the Android SDK). this can all be done directly from your Vega.
To set up VintageVega, you will need the following apps:
ADW.Launcher (I am using ADWLauncher EX but normal ADW should be fine.
Set up your launcher Auto-Stretch icons, and set the grid to 6 Columns and 6 Rows (columns is flexible, but you will probably have to keep the rows at 6 for the shelf). Also I would fix the launcher orientation ot Landscape (VintageVega ONLY works in landscape mode!).
A nice clock widget! I use (and paid for) ShotClocks but you could easily use the free Big Ben Clock or many alternatives on the Market.
SiMi Folder Widget for creating lovely categorized folders on the desktop.
Desktop VisualizeR to place all of the objects in onto your screen
Here are some images of how I have set up my Vega using the VintageVega pack:
This is an EXAMPLE, you can set up VintageVega in any way you like!
Home screen:
Lightswitch on the right opens the app drawer (accross all screens).
clock is a ShotClocks widget.
Portrait on the left (of me and my daughter ) opens the Gallery app.
Cash Register under the portrait opens the Android Market.
Globe opens the browser (Miren Browser for me).
Calendar under the clock opens the Calendar App.
Scrapbook (with stamps) opens the Social Networking SiMi Folder widget (more on that later).
Toolbox opens the Settings menu.
Stack of letters on the shelf opens the Email app.
Office Screen:
The World Map opens Google Maps Application.
Books along the shelf opens Aldiko (but could easily open Kindle App or a SiMi Folder widget with multiple choices).
Newspaper rack opens news reader app (Pulse in my case).
Phone opens Skype.
Entertainment Screen:
Film Projector screen opens SiMi Folder containing BBC iPlayer and YouTube apps.
The 3 portraits along the top open: Angry Birds - Seasons | Angry Birds | Dungeon Defenders (The PST to create your own framed image is linked in the PST pack at the bottom of this post).
The Radio on the bottom right opens the Music App (but again, this could open another SiMi Folder).
The Games along the bottom left open a SiMi folder containing a list of my games, here is an example of how a SiMi Folder set up in this way looks:
Please note, ALL screen shots above have been lowered in quality to make them smaller files, the images are actually MUCH higher resolution than this.
To set up a SiMi Folder Widget:
Open the app Drawer and select SiMi Folder.
Select "Add Folder".
Choose a folder name, and set the folder type to "Apps", then click Save.
Select your newly created folder, and tap on "Applications" on the right.
Add all of your desired applications to the folder.
Click Save, and then exit.
All done!
To add an object to your home screen:
Copy all of the objects images in a folder to your memory card.
Long-press on a blank area of the screen and choose "Widgets" to add a widget.
Select one of the "Desktop VisualizeR" (from now on I will refer to this as DTV) sized widgets (selecting 4x4 gives the best image quality, then you can re-size the widget to the correct size afterwards.
Tap on the newly created DTV widget to open the DTV menu and start configuring your object.
For Icon, select one of the VintageVega Object images from the gallery (or whatever app you chose).
For Action, you can either select "Launch Application" to select a single application, or "Other" to choose a SiMi Folder that you have already set up.
Once you have selected an action, clear the Label field so it is blank.
Change the "Touch Effect" from Orange to "None".
Click OK!
That's it! It seems like a long process, but once you are used to it, you will be adding and moving objects to your hearts desire
Incase that's too hard to follow, here's a quick video that should clear things up
And so, without ANY further waffling... Here are the files
Download the VintageVega Object Pack.
Download the VintageVega Wallpaper Pack.
PST files for those that wish to create their own framed images (or those who are just curious).
Wallpaper PST (Caution, 30mb File!) - High resolution PST file (with shelf) for you to create your own VintageVega wallpapers.
Objects PST - Source files for ALL of the objects included in VintageVega (incase you want to modify any of them yourself). NOTE: The social Icons pack included here was not created by me, it was created by Dawghouse and are free to use.
PLEASE do not repost these as your own work, but feel free to modify and enjoy this as you wish. Please let me know of any problems! And soon I will hopefully post some YouTube vids of this in action and some easy to follow tutorials on YouTube (for those of you who can't follow the written instructions ).
One last note: I specifically designed the wallpaper/shelf on VintageVega to match up with standard Icon sets, such as iDroid so you can actually have those icons sat on the shelf if you wish, and it doesn't look bad to boot
Example:
So if you find that there are objects missing from the pack that you would like, you can always use an icon instead
Add icons in the same way as normal with DTV.
Enjoy!

This is just amazing! I could see the same set up for different environments!

Fantastic job!

Hi Zebwen, I have a SGT and will try it. I'm new at this so it will take a while.
Cheers, and a damn good job mate !!!
LE: Works great. Just need to adjust the BG to have the shelf aligned with the icons.
Thanks a lot. This is opening new ways to customize your Android device.

Hi there! I've made a custom-sized wallpaper for phone devices for you that might work a little better (I based it on the SGS screen dimensions).
I pretty much guessed at the shelf location, so you will have to play with ADW row numbering to get it to fit. If the shelf needs adjusting just let me know (best way would be to post a screenshot) so I can see how much it is out by and fix it!
Zeb

A completely random Twitter Search resulted in me finding this page with a big shoutout for VintageVega! Also, this twitter search show's it had been re-tweeted a whole bunch of times without me even knowing :/
Ah well, nice to see that it's getting out there!
newbe5 / Zebwen

This is brilliant, it deserves much more attention! I don't have a tablet, but if I did I'd definitely try it out! It'll be great to see if more like this come out, it'll reinvent the home screen's capabilities!

Wow, great theme Zebwen, and good job on the instructions. Couldn't have been simpler. I was gonna ask if you had an icon for AB Rio, but it took all of 5 minutes to create one from your icon pack. Now I'm trying to figure a way to include another set of shelves to place objects(icons) on. I know it's possible to edit the books icon, but I'm thinking maybe editing the wallpaper to include a 2nd 1/2 screen shelf. This way I can place icons directly on top of the shelf. With the edited books icon, you can only get so close to an adjacent icon.
Again, great job!.
Tony
In case anyone's interested. An AB Rio icon and an updated AB Seasons icon.

BRILLIANT! These are the first custom Objects I have seen since I released the pack, thanks a lot for doing these! It't nice to see that people are enjoying VintageVega BTW your going to want to save these as PNG24 files to preserve the transparency
When you are done setting it up, would you mind posting a screenshot of your home screen?
Zeb

Here's where I am so far. Still tweaking..
The "test" screen is just used for tweaking.
For some reason the rom I'm on (GHarmony GB) is not allowing for screenshots (Screenshot ER or DDMS) so I just took a couple pics with my Dx. so the quality kinda sucks.

Gtablet, running this rom ---> G-Harmony Gingerbread 2.3.3

Good! Glad to see it is working well on other tablets too. Hopefully starting work on a new theme soon, similar but with a more modern style

For some reason I'm having problems changing wallpapers. When I use the normal method (long press blank area, wallpapers, gallery, select pic) ES freezes up. No biggie, I can still just open a pic in ES, choose "set wallpaper" and chose the wallpaper.
For now, I'm trying to find a good icon for ES (file cabinet, file folder, etc.)
I actually prefer a modern theme. Looking forward to your efforts. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Here's what I got so far for ES Explorer:

(Seeing as there's no General Thread for tablets, I've re posted this here.)
Hey guys I finally ported my "hubs" set up to Android Tablets and I have to say its 10x smoother on our 1.0 ghz dual core device. The general idea of "Hubs" is to create a dedicated screen for each piece of media/productivity while providing a visual eye candy. "Hubs" is easy to emulate, and even easier to create your own style. Despite the lengthy tutorial, its actually easier than it seems. The fun part comes with setting up you layout!
What you'll need:
Main
Adw Launcer EX
Launcher Pro Plus
Multi Live Wallpaper
Minimalistic Text
Simple Text
Optional
Pulse (for widgets)
Cowon Clock/ BobClock Widget
Mizuu Movies
Launcher Pro Plus (Widgets)

WALKTHROUGH​ADW Launcher Users[/U][/B]
-To remove top bar-Press and hold and empty area on your home screen then click on "Launcher Actions" > "Hide/Show Action Bars"
-Enable Widget Overlapping-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Check "Overlap Widgets" in the Advanced Settings Tab
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Increase the desktop "Rows" and "Columns" in the "Desktop Layout" Tab.
Launcher Pro Plus Users- while not optimized for 3.2, it still runs perfect.
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "Preference" > "Homescreen Settings" > Increase the "Number of columns/rows" in the Homescreen Grid.
-Remove Icons From Right Dock- Hold your finger on the icon you wish to remove> "change shortcut"> "Blank"
*You may add screen transitions for each launcher if you wish, however my advise is to leave it at default as you can set transition for Multi Live wallpaper. Doing both launcher and MLW will make your screen look "too busy" IMO.
To set the "Bars" (Titles for "Home", "Music", "Movies" etc.)
Minimalistic Text
-To set title- Press and hold a free space on the screen > "widgets" > "Minimalistic Text" (size may vary per style however I use either 4x2 or 6x1 as long as its horizontal > ensure that "background color" is checked > "Predefined Layout" > "Custom" > "Custom Layout" > Click on the plus sign > "Misc" > "Static Text".
-Black Bar Tutorial click here
Wallpapers
-Set up - Load up your wallpapers on your sd card/internal memory and placing them into seperate folders and name them based on the images (ex. Music, Movies, Games etc)
- Long press an empty screen on your homescreen > "Wallpapers" > "Live Wallpapers"> "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"> "Settings"
- For each "Screen _ Settings" Select the picture source as "Picture Folder" and navigate it to point to your corresponding homescreen.
- Additionally you make select the screen transition here that reflects your particular taste. You may also set a default wallpaper for your lockscreen.
Despite the dozen of widget on the homescreen and live wallpaper, battery use is minimal.I have provided wallpapers below to help you get started.
NAVIGATING BETWEEN HUBS​
There are two methods in which you can navigate to each individual homescreen.
Method one: Prior/Alternate way for navigation text was achieved using this methodby trekkie0927. Using invisible icons in tandem with minimalistic text can make it easier to flip to each hubs. Please rate/comment his video.
Method two: I found a great alternative to Minimalistic Text in terms of using the text buttons to jump from one screen to another called Simple Text. Since it's only an icon and not a widget, it consumes no memory and provides a great minimal look.
User AcIdC0R3 has posted a great tutorial. (Please thank him!)​
Make sure you have ADWLauncher EX
Go to the market and install Simple Text
Long press on the screen and select 'Custom Shortcut'
'Pick your activity', select 'Launcher Actions'
Choose which screen you want, 1 - 5 or 1 - 7 if your using seven screens
Click on the picture of the 2 screens side by side
Select 'ADWTheme IconPacks' and select 'Simple Text'
Select the grey box named 'Simple'
replace the word 'Simple' with whatever of your choosing like 'Video' for your video hub or 'Social' for your social media hub and so forth
Adjust your text size, Y and X coordinates, your shadow settings etc.
Click the little blue 'A' in the top right side of the screen and select your font (more on fonts further down)
You also have the option to select the color wheel next to the 'A' and adjust your text color
Select the menu icon on the task bar at the bottom and select 'Save Style' if you want to keep what you created for later use as well.
Click 'Save Icon' which will create your icon for you
Back at the black edit screen remove the text from the text field and click OK
You should now have a custom text icon that will activate whichever screen you chose for it. You can click any app icon on your screen and follow the same procedure for your apps so all your apps also have text icons.
[FONTS] In a file manager go to /sdcard/Simple Text/ and create a folder named 'fonts' (that is plural with an 's' at the end). Next go to somewhere like dafont.com and download you some kewl fonts and place them within that 'fonts' directory you just created. Now when you go into Simple Text to do your editing you will have more fonts to choose from.
That's all there is to it.
You can also work with layers within the creation of your Simple Text. Notice below where I created a new layer, rotated my new text layer and intersected where both words have the letter 'E'.
However you may notice that simple text does have it's limitations:
Icons can only be 1x1
Works best on adw
No way to resize; it is only an icon after all.
Miscellaneous
​ISSUE: You may experience widget being placed "behind" the black bars. If so try this method provided by user SwiftLegend
1. Put the widgets/icons you want on TOP of the blackbar FIRST. You need these before anything.
2. Select a Minimalistic Text Widget, I usually use 1x1. Clear out the text options (Predefined layout > Custom, delete all of the things there)
3. Once you're back at your homescreen and see the MT Widget, just long press and re size it to your liking.
You HAVE to make sure that whatever you want on TOP of the blackbar is put on the screen FIRST. Anything put on after will go underneath.
ISSUE 2: Users have reported that Minimalistic Widget refuses to post/ show up on the homescreen.
1. Turn your tablet into portrait mode.
2. Add the widget whilst staying in portrait mode as you apply you designs.
3. Rotate back to landscape.
ISSUE 3: You can no longer take full advantage of the screen real estate using adw ex (particularly the corners)
1. Recent update kills the use of every inch of the screen. In his attempt to emulate ICS, anderwebs made the edges of the screen inaccessible.
2. Revert back to an older version (1.3.3)
here's the original layout from the nook color if you guys are interested on putting this on your homescreen HERE

I can't get Multipicture to work. I have my wallpapers in path: sdcard/DCIM/Wallpapers
Within that Wallpapers folder I have 5 folders. Each folder is named and contains one wallpaper image. I go to set the live wallpaper and point each screen to it's corresponding folder and when I click set I don't get anything. I get a black screen telling me I have to set it up in settings. It's frustrating because I can't for the life of me figure it out. Did I put the images on the wrong path? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Try placing the folders in the root of your sd card

Quick question, how many screens can we have with MultiPic? I can't seem to get more than five.
