Ummmm....I second that motion..lol

I just finished a new beta for theme-porter. Wht i added was a "hdpi-to-mdpi" toggle accompanied by a renaming loop which will rename the appropriate folders. I just gave it a whirl by testing on framework-res of this galaxy s nexus theme on a D/S framework-res cm6 rc3. Results are not too bad actually, need some minor touch-ups. I'll post that beta in a few on my thread.
Here u go Link

There's galaxy s themes for ADWLauncher on the market. Their not "full" themes, but they change your icons and wallpaper giving you at least some of the "feel" of it. You can also put horizontonal scrolling and the scrolling dots at the top, as well as change the notification bar color though CMsettings.

thanks danesham, I have seen your theme porter before. I wasn't sure if it was going to work. Will give it a go.
Ive looked around for galaxy s ADW themes but I couldn't find any, are they on the market? Are they called Galaxy S theme?

WOW great thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.....however I dropped my dream into some water yesterday i know im an idiot! No the call button isnt working and the phone always thinks I'm holding it sideways!!
Thanks a lot though, hope this help other people looking for this!

Any themes/icon sets though?
EDIT: Only complaint with TW3 Launcher is that default home screen is all the way to the left, any fix for this?

Works Great.........loving it

Post Your Live Wallpaper Here

There was a thread similar to this a little while back, but it died. So what do you use the most? Do you have some cool ones to share? Usually I just check the market for good ones.
Also, so anyone know where I can get the stock samsung galaxy s series lwps? I can seem to find a good link to download them from. And I really want the "ocean" one. Any help would be appreicated!

My favorite is microbes but it lags my phone. My second favorite is Aurora, but I can't get it to work without force closing. I like all maxelus lwps they are really good.

i attempted but all the ones that were available the link was broken. usually when i google i find nothing but the newest leaked SGS2

Almost anything by Kittehface is golden. Here's the ones I use, switching between them depending on the mood:
aniPet Aquarium
Asteroid Belt (Kittehface, really awesome)
Blue Skies (Kittehface, really awesome)
Fireflies (the one with the light bulbs)
Giraffe
Ice Galaxy
Jungle Waterfall (Kittehface)
Rays of Light
Silhouette (Kittehface)
Vortex Galaxy
I'm a big fan of Live wallpaper; it's just something that clearly makes our devices stand out immediately.

i completely agree with you. i like the galaxy ones by that dev, i but it seems to run REALLY slow on my even overclocked G2. depending on the ROM

I use 'Multipicture'. Its not really a 'live' wallpaper, but it acts like one and allows you to set different wallpapers for each screen. Its available for free in the market.

I love solar winds, would live to be able to customize it.
Zoomfield, 3D starfield, plasma.

If there was a waveform mod that allowed you to change the background image and color of the wafeform, I would be very happy in my pants. Does anyone knowbof a music influenced lwp other than waveform and vu meter?

I've been using one called "Shadow Galaxy" made by "maxelus.net" that I found on the Android market. It is one of four Space galaxy wallpapers by maxelus.net. The other three are "Vortex Galaxy", "Ice Galaxy" and "Inferno Galaxy."
All four of the Galaxy wallpapers are free and very nice to look at IMO. Obviously, they use more battery than static wallpapers but I have gotten pretty good battery life while running these. Check them out, they are not my creations but I do enjoy them.

I just installed Night Sky and the Ice and Shadow Galaxy live wallpapers. Shadow Galaxy is my favorite by far. The graphics are stunning!

I love all of these, I switched weekly- thank you for posting this!

Any Idea how to capture the screen?
Edit: nevermind with rooted device there are some apps

I found a new one that's downright incredible: Celestial Bodies. The lite version isn't great imo because it's restricted to one view (the one I dislike), but the full version is fantastic, runs like a dream on this phone and doesn't even show up on my battery stats. There's another amazing one called Solar System 3d that has the best graphics I've ever seen on this thing, but it was showing up as 29% of battery use after 6 hours of being unplugged, so I stopped using it. Not sure if that was a fluke or not but worth noting.

Light grid pro is by far my favorite! There's tons of ways to customize from colors,shapes and animations.

What!? They really are 1280x1280??
S3 resolution is 1440x1280? Seems like i have to set wallpaper every time i reboot cause ICS/JB wont let me have vertical wallpapers and if i resize 1280x1280 to SGS resolution: 960x800 the dandelion looks very clumsy but if i only use 1 screen it looks perfect but i have to set it everytime i reboot and its nice with scrollable wallpaper so could anyone make a 960x800 for me? It'd be really nice

S3 screen 1280x720 default
here is dandelion at 960x800
http://db.tt/lt1jeQWy
slightly cropped but looks ok
don't really understand problem with it resting your wallpaper.
try this though
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Thanks, the problem is that i want too se the whole green thing under the dandelion and it looks so sharp and original..
Check the screenshot thats how i want it but its not scrollable and vertical. So when i boot up i have to set the wallpaper again cause ics wont let me...

k I think I understand now u want it to look like does in screen shot but be scrollable .
I'm sure wallpaper are only horizontally scrollable
but does it not scroll ???or u want more.of the green in .
confused still
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

To the left we have the vertical the one that looks 100% fit because its 480x800 and i use 1 screen.
To the right The wallpaper is 1280:1280 and if i use it for my 960x800 screen the dandelion gets bigger and a mini dandelion in the right corner is missing
We maybe cant get it the way i want cause if you resize 960x800 either horizontal or vertical wallpaper will get too stretched out.
I

And i might be too picky..
I mean its not so big difference but i wanted to see if we could make a perfect 960x800

Here try this 1280*800

Thanks so much it's almost perfect the dandelion is little just little bigger but who gives a crap about that and you dont even notice it but i think the wallpapers you linked to me is little bit edited. Could you edit this (wallpaper_01) its the original i took it from KOVDEV SGS3 Walls app on google play. It looks better edit it like you did with the other wallpaper and thanks so much man i wish i could thank you more times on XDA! :victory:
- Short said you edited it perfect for my screen but not the real wallpaper edit the one i attached wallpaper_01. Thanks :smile:
Also check the dandelion_finally i attached there is the difference, thanks! How it was vertical without scrollable on left and your edit on right

k I'll see what I can do
to please but compared to original on my phone looks same but if u want that blue .
could be two blues are going to diff coz remember I think they changed the colour from marble blue to pebble blue . maybe 2 versions of dandelion .

Setting a wallpaper on Note II?

I am noticing the wallpaper degrades quality when you set them for home screen. I used to have the same on my S2, then I found Wallpaper Wizardii and setting a wallpaper via it fixed the problem in S2, but not in this phone.
Just see this photo and set it as wallpaper and then see it in gallery, look closely, I think you'll understand what I'm saying.

I could be wrong but the height of the image you are trying to use is incorrect. Plus I'm sure that when you view an image in the gallery it scales so you can view the image in it's entirety vs when you set a wallpaper it does not do the same.

It doesn't. Also , Galaxy S2's res is 800x480 , and the Note 2's is 1280x720 which is considerably bigger, so the same wallpapers will look ugly. Try some HD wallpapers from wallbase.cc , they all look awesome.

Actually I haven't used this wall on S2. And yes,I know Note 2's screen resolution. And that wallpaper is way over HD in resolution.
What I meant is the same looks awesome inside gallery but when I set it as wall it degrades. It was a known bug in Android afaik, that's why applications like Wallpaper Wizardii came out but as I said WW isn't working as it worked on the S2.

try this one instead of WW:

Just make sure you adjust the settings to force a still image as your wallpaper.

goodbye htc. hello samsung note 2

Been an htc user for so long, was eyeing the one x+ for tmobile initially, but after another exculsivity with at&t, i said thats it with htc. So i took the plunged and got the note 2, grey for me and white for the wife. Couldnt be happier. My one s and amaze going out the door now lol.
Anyway, what do you guys use for launcher? I think that using the same default layout for smaller screens in the note 2 is not good, as 5.5 inches can definitely display more that a 5x4 grid. At the same time i dont want to change the lcd density as i dont want the incompatibilities with market and some apps.
And will the spen work with other launchers the same way with touchwiz?
Btw, luvin this gadget more and more.

Im using apex and I think it's great. I use it to hide all the bloat apps I don't use.

I honestly didnt know that. Ive only used nexus devices and the s3 and now the note 2 where my first non nexus device and I put apex launcher day one so never got to play much with touchwiz launcher. Thanks for the tip.

thanks. i have bought a bunch of launchersfrom apex to holo to go launcher.
will the s-pen functions still work with a different launcher?
anyway, i wrote this reply using the s-pen handwriting recognition. last time I had such a phone with the same capability was with the Sony Ericsson p1i and P910 before that

Nova Launcher all the way for me... Paid version is close to perfect and can do pretty much anything any other launcher can do... Just my opinion though...

Thanks!! Did you change lcd density? For me I think 4 column icons is a waste with the big screen. Does nova allow you to resize the icon size? I think only golauncher does that, but go launcher is a bit bloated imo.

On nova launcher you can choose how many rows and columns you want on your homescreen without changing the LCD density. It does resize the applications and does a plethora of other features as well.....
I would suggest you buy it.
Source: Purchased it and have always been happy and thought it to be the best app worth the money since you use it all the time.
