[WORK IN PROGRESS] Mahogany - A launcher inspired by stock for CM7 and CM9 - Kindle Fire Android Development

Building a launcher from scratch. I put one together in GO Launcher yesterday, but thought it would be too much effort to setup since it'd be a memory hogger, so did my mockups this morning and here's the result:
{
"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"
}
In the end it'll support all the Gingerbread and ICS variants of the Kindle ROMs. I'm not sure about stock yet, but I'll keep it in mind seeing as this will have none of the issues the stock launcher has. All the book/reference related apps will have book type icons. I'll theme the search bar aswell.
I'm going to work on building it in Eclipse this week.

Quietly awesome.
To my mind, no need to tell, that we all are waiting for it.

great ..........................

Awesome .... like it already

This is quite interesting really. I'm assuming it would work the same way the stock launcher does, but on CM7/9?

Looks Amazing

Agreed!!!!!

Hmm, seems I need to step up on my launcher project .
Btw if your going to support stock just keep in mind that the wallpapermanager instance is null for some reason (amazon really wants you to keep your mits off it)
So implement your own wallpaper manager if you plan on giving that option seems the only other launcher I saw working on stock dose that (GO launcher).
Also if you need to take a look there is a partial fix for that in my hatching branch https://github.com/neolode/Project-Drake/tree/hatchling0.1
Cheers and good luck can't wait to see your work.

very nice!

wow this looks amazing!...cant wait

Slick! Can't wait to test it out

It looks very nice to me

Just curious... Female Devs seem to be few and far between...

OP, are you going to have a github? Open Source? Lurking on IRC anywhere?
In other words, I'd be very interested in helping.

1. Yes, I am female.
2. I will be putting it on github as soon as I get the base done. Which should be by Saturday for those that really need a ETA.
3. I'm always on the kindlefire-dev channel. Not always at the keyboard, but you can leave me a message.

This looks very cool. Let me know if you need anyone to test, i'd be more than happy.

Nice mockups. You've probably already gotten this far, but in case it helps. I have no idea how to get the list of books or documents, or download items from the cloud.

[Theme]FOR HERO Pittsburgh Black and Gold theme

Well i decided to make myself a black and gold themed hero and figured some of yinz pittsburghers or parts of steeler nation would wanna have this
DO NOT FLASH THE ZIP ITS JUST THE PARTS YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PUSH THEM
Thanks to doubleokneegro for the pirates clock
The Bookmarks, search widget, rosie and twitter need to be pushed to the system/sd/app_s folder
And the clocks need to be pushed to the system/ect/clockwidget folder
These clocks are ONLY FOR HERO
Remember if u get a TouchFlo or any FC after pushing the new rosie or anything to the app_s folder go into settings and then clear data I recommend setting Settings as a quick launch like the search button +s or something before you push the new rosie
I do not know the adb or terminal codes because i use root explorer i would recommend using root explorer because its much easier but if someone would like to pm me or post the codes here it would be greatly apprciated

yea man i can do that. will post it in a few minutes.
K, here is the file. Try putting it into this location
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Themes
Should work as long as you have everything else installed.
You can find the HTC clock here
http://www.htchome.org/en/download/
Let me know if it works.
Wow this is gorgeous!
New one im working on
I am going to download and install this when i get home. Is there any easy way to remove this if i dont like?
A simple uninistall and your back to normal.
awesome staff
This would be better if we could use Live/Hotmail instead of Gmail, and if there was a Songbird panel, though I could probably make one of those.
EDIT: The developers of Omnimo created a panel editor which allowed me to create a Songbird panel, and I can just use the Outlook panel to monitor my Live.com email.

Desktop VirtualizeR Theme - Giving something back

OK I've asked a lot of questions and gave nothing back, so I'm about to change that!
These are some resources I cooked up for anyone who wants to make a Android7/Desktop VirtualizeR theme.
I really hope you like them, they took me a few hours to make (I'm a Photoshop noob ).
Example of the theme in action;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There are currently 10 3*1 pictures and there are 9 1*3/1*2 pictures.
Hope you all enjoy them! If you do, I'll be sure to make some tomorrow .

What launcher are you using? It won't work well on TWLauncher. If you're using GO/PRO/ADW, then change the home screen rows to 5 rather than 4. That'll fix the problem. The only thing is I'm probably going to discontinue with this theme.

Just download and extract desired zip file, put the png image onto your SD and apply it like any other image file (by choosing gallery as wallpaper source).
Downloads are in the same order as the screenshots (from left to right).

Hope you don't mind if I take this Love love!
Thank you! Looks a lot better than stock.

[APP] Dark Themed CloudMagic email app

Just wanted to share this, I use this app for all of my email...and themed it for myself quite a while ago. I'm sure it will update soon but for now is good to go. This is a tap to install so if you already use this app un-install it before downloading mine.
I do not have any intention of maintaining this thread, a few users requested this so this is the only reason I am posting.
This is only for xxhdpi devices, if your device has a lower our higher resolution I cannot guarantee what it will look like. Also, it may look different per device based on your framework images.
Thanks to @cerj for the signed install
Enjoy

Thanks again for this. Must've taken you a looong time!

Thanks again, yeah I left the body of the email black on white because my eyes started to strain when reading long emails...when it was inverted.
Is there any chance to get this themed app again? The link does not have any files.
Thanks
