Need some help making a nice looking screen - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok Im pretty good a flashing roms, good at manuvering through the root of my phone. Ive been messing with probably every rom out for the EVO, but ive yet to figure out how some people make theyre screens look awsome. Im wanting to know if I post a screenshot from a thread on here if someone would walk me throught how to make it look like the supplied pic? Im more than willing to supply my Instant messenger addy Thanks

Theres alot of different ways to customize your homescreen and drawer,theres apps like ADW,Go,launcher pro and themes that are made for your specific rom,hence,my homescreen,courtesy of T-Mobiles theme chooser and Fancy widgets,i also moved a few icons from my drawer to my rosie and added world clock widget.Changed the font with system root tools.

That looks like a GO Launcher theme.Check out go launcher and the themes,you might find what your looking for. Go Launcher EX It has a bunch of themes.

All the information that you need is right on that screen.
And the rom us miui.

Yah, or ADW or LP with a custom DOCK, Desktop Widgets, for the widgets...

I am a Noob, but I found LCD Density on the Market, I run mine at 183 on the EVO with Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS 5. It tweaks your resolution. So no matter what you put on your screen, it makes it sharp.

Hey everyone.
I am looking for a certain wallpaper, its in many hero ROMs. It is the one with the sort of squares with white spaces between them.

I have it but im at work now if you want to wait until later...or you can download Drizzy's TF3D, extract it to your desktop, go into app_s and pull out the Rosie.apk. Change the ext. to .zip and then extract that. The wallpapers are in one of the folders inside the Rosie.apk.
Can you just upload it fro me

No i am really sorry, in fact that is not the one. I dont think it was 3D. God if only i could remember the ROM it was on
Dang, I was hoping that would hook you up....I have also been looking for a specific wallpaper too (White rabbit over HTC logo)... no luck myself...I will keep an eye open for your quest too..
ahhh man its like these flat black kind of grid squares
You know champion V2 ROM? Its the same background but different coloring

I believe Drizzy got it from the Windows Mobile crowd.
It's from the Touchflo 3D UI.
You could find it probably in any one of the WM threads.
Or you could just pull it from the ROM itself using something like Win rar.(Probably the best way since it's already sized.)

please
first off, wrong section
second, its all on you. you dont need to download themes to tweak the ui. cm6.1 has customization built in. the first snapshot of my home screen is just cm 6.1.1 w/ beautiful widgets added and is probably my favorite setup i've had, but the second has some negative adw launcher theme with built in support to cm 6.1 that i use to have
there is a lot you can do to customize your phone but it is super easy just to apply a theme to the launcher

Adding to the first reply, you can't get new icons and stuff without editing or replacing your framework-res.apk in /system/framework. If you want a full on theme with buttons and icons and all that jazz, download one of miguel's theme ports, extract framework-res.apk from /system/framework, and then adb push it to /system/framework in your phone, and viola, themed.
Look at what I did. Everything I use is free.
ADW Launcher
BattStatt Widget
Ramdroid Widget
ADW Ubuntu Theme
SetCPU (free from XDA Forums)
Mario LWP
It looks too bright and washed out but on the screen it looks perfect.

[Q] How to get Miui lockscreenchargerthingie on LeeDrOiD?

Hey all.
I'm still on LeeDrOiD 3.3.3 which, in my book, is pretty darn perfect in every way. No bugs, no hangups and no FCs...
BUT I SO LOVE MIUI's freedom and design
I saw these pictures in a locksreen theme thread about Miui and wanted to know if there is any way to get the same thing on my Leephone?
What I'm talking about is the green "charging" line from the first and second screens. Is that a live wallpaper, widget or what is it? Can it be used on my Lee either as a lockscreen or as a widget on homescreen?

I'd like to get that charge status bar mod incorporated into sense ROMs, eye candy much, though I'd hate to tap, hold & slide the finger to another part of the screen just to unlock the phone.
Yeah. I don't want the slidelock, just the chargethingie.
It's MIUI, you can get the Sense lockscreen with the chargerbar if you want to, but you'll have to join us MIUIans! Come to the good side, we have lockscreens!

I would never betray my sweet Lee... but it's sooo perrrtttyyyy... NO! My precious... Dammit! Noooo. *walks towards miuiandroid.com*
Hahaha Come to meee! COME! Lee is LAME you hear me! LAME!
Backup your Leedroid, flash MIUI, use it the next 53 years, and if you still want to go back to Mr. Lee, then just restore.
Btw, IF you don't like the MIUI launcher, remember that you can use LauncherPro or another launcher. You will still be able to use all the MIUI features.
Edit: I recommend you use the Freshly Squeezed MIUI (check my sig). It's tweaked a little bit, and you'll get the TalonAce kernel which is working very well.

[Q] warm 2.3 question

so far i'm loving this rom, working a lot better than the last rom i tried. something i noticed, was same on warm 2.2, the android calender widget is unreadable for me. on warm 2.3 the font is white with white background. i've tried new fonts, no help. anyone know how i can fix this? please and thank you
Just seeing if I'm looking at the proper widget, is it either of these two? Cuz I use HTC's widget.

yes, the one on the right
Gotcha, the issue is actually the widget itself. Since there's only been one release and active development is non-existent, bugs were left to us to find. I believe you'd have to edit the widget apk to display text in a different font. Unfortunately, I have no experience editing files so I can't walk you through it.
Edit: all I can do is offer up alternatives, line using the HTC widget (the 4x1 horizontal one) or trying a different app entirely like the superb "Jorte Calendar" which has a TON of customizations. It's available in the market.
i wanna thank you for your response, that calender seems to be doin what i want. got another question i hope someone might be able to help with. still on warm 2.3, all of a sudden the contact pix in the stock messaging app are gone. everywhere else they seem fine, just in messaging they disappeared. anyone else run into this? thoughts on how to fix?
i thought maybe another app caused it so i reflashed but after a day or so, same thing happened.

[THEME]{URBAN STYLE}[DropUI inspired]

Hey folks!
About on week ago, i was looking make some changes in SGS3 but i didn't see anything interesting. Then i found this thread "Drop UI" and i looks just amazing. The only problems that i saw with it, was the fact that some paid apps are needed to make this work.
Anyway i brought all my those apps and set up my phone, and i must say that it was looking pretty good! So, after that, when i understood when the "Theme" works, i decided to make my own theme, Drop UI is really beautiful but for me it looks a lot like an iPhone.
After took some fonts, look for some images and spend a lot of time in front of Photoshop, i got a theme that i call it "Urban Style". It tried to make it minimalist as possible but i didn't get what i was looking for, instead of it "Urban Style" is a cool theme made just by black-white-grey colours, some "Cities images" and also "Robot" font downloaded just from "Google Design".

All the images was taken from "Flickr" which has "Common Creative Copyright".
The icons are property of "hunterdsg" and it was downloaded from here
If you like it and would like to use, just follow the tutorial from "DropUI" but using the images from my zip file. I'm also thinking about doing my own tutorial and how to change the paid apps for free ones. All comments are welcome.
The main idea of this kind of theming, came from "SilentRazor", so all the credits is for him.

Good one mate. I have succesfully applied your theme with some adjustment of my own. You should post it on mycolorscreen.com and make one with more colourful wallpapers
