Thunderbolt on das bamf gingeremix 2.0 beta 5

What a stupid name for a ROM

From the home screen. Menu,personalize, locksreen, turn to one, click settings, then click on one of the 4 icons to change.

If you have it set to display wallpaper on lock screen, just change your regular wallpaper and it will change your lock screen wallpaper as well.

Cool rom bro, could I see some screenshots and a changelog?

No I'm not asking about how to use my phone..I do know how to change it to the others that came on the phone...BTW ADW dont let me get to personalize anymore anyway.
sparta31...would you like some cheese with that?

OK maybe I need to be a little more clear about my questions...
how about somebody telling me where the file for the lock screen is located and what I have to do to change the background and icons once I'm in the file.
I'm trying to make my wallpaper differnt from whats on the phone and would like all the icons to match

Don't be any more clear. Just put it in the right section. Q and A!

Woah, slow down there son. No need to lump us old school Kiss Army in with the ICP juggalo tomfoolery. Very few FANS wore the makeup ... just the band.
By the way ... have you figured out magnets yet?

I may be way out of the loop but aren't the ICP tools referred to as juggaho's?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

I didn't write this thread for a debate on what juggalos do or don't do...I just want to know if the .apk for the lockscreen can be changed and if so how.
I didn't bust into your threads asking about your way of life,I would expect the same.

Just so you know, they're making fun of you because you didn't read the rules, and now you're just blatantly disrespecting those telling you that you're not following them by ignoring what they've told you to do. You're disrespecting everyone on this forum and demanding respect in return? You see the problem?
Thrown by Zeus himself

Got to agree ninja. I too am a Juggalo, love the pc btw, but you would friendly get a answer faster if you moved the thread to the general or Q&A section.
That being said... These self loving pricks in this forum can suck a bag of dicks. If you would just answer the question the thread would die. Or if you were just more polite about it I am sure he would have moved the post. But alas you decided to degrade and mock this guy because of the music he likes. You are all just so happy to bully someone because it is not you. Just stick to the forum and have your comments relate to android issues and leave the personal stuff out.

Battery icon

Is there a way to use metamorph or ninjamorph to change the battery icon in the notification bar. I've done it before but that was a while ago.

for crying out loud its still the theme forum, leave him alone....lighten up on each other honestly, friggen search police
OK so I put it on the wrong forum oops. There are a lot of people with questions on this forum. I thought it would be better answered if it were on this forum since I'm asking about something that can only be done on a rooted phone. I did do some searching but did not find much not saying that there isn't anything just didn't find it.

youre fine, dont let wannabe searchsearchsearch mods get to you, people do ask questions all the time in EVERY section, and your question is perfectly relevant to theming. Q&A forum is more of a safe secondary option for people who dont know where to post
--------------------------------------
you may be able to actually change the .png through ninja morph but you wont be able to apply it. Ninja morph is a good concept, but until there is the option to sign through it, realistically it creates more steps than it eliminates.
With that said you can alter a Metamorph theme (thats what i do), just go to your theme that you use in /sdcard/Android Themes, and find the image/s that you want to edit, then just reapply the theme.
I'm sorry to ask you this but I'm a big time noob when it comes to this stuff. So it it easier to go that way or just flash it?

depends. if something you like is already in flashable format, and its compatible with your firmware/ROM, that would obviously be the best way to go. But if you have decent image editing software (GIMP), its not all that hard to access your sdcard from your pc and just edit a few .png files within a theme and then reapply the theme. Sometimes it can be a hassle to figure exactly which image you are supposed to edit to get the result youre looking for.
I'm looking at the battery icons in a thread just a few down from this one. Those I think a flashable. I'm running on the stock rom.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You can find about 7 different battery icons using the gst app. All you do its download the icon you want and put it on the root of your sd card. Then use rom manager to boot into clockwork mod recovery and select the apply zip from sd option. The battery icon will show up on there.just click it and that's it.pretty easy huh

Can I still do that on my modified notification bar. I'm using the clear with the modified icons that I got from one of the threads on this forum.

TopShelf, I think you're way out of line here. The theming forum is obviously not the best place to ask questions about theming. People like "creator" shouldn't have to be bothered to click on threads that they don't have the desire, nor time to answer. Instead, creator and other busy people need to only see threads that they enjoy reading, and all questions pertaining to theming should never be asked in the theme forum.
His valuable time cannot be spent answering questions to threads he clicked on and read, and only in the severe ignorance of the OP can he be bothered to reply, and of course, only reply with a full paragraph explaining the ignorance of the OP.
I'll thank you, Top Shelf, to remember the forum etiquette in the future. If you're going to utilize the theming forum, then please remember to berate and belittle anyone that also utilizes it for questions pertaining to theming.

[Q] Regarding android 3.0 "honeycomb"

Alright I realize that 3.0 is made for tablets so I am not asking for a port or anything, but I was wondering if anyone has made a theme resembling it or if there is a rom that looks like it? I was checking out some videos of honeycomb and it looks really cool. And before posting this I did use the search feature and I didnt find anything..and I was a little confused by some thread titles lol
If you are running CyanogenMod Rom then you can use the honeycomb theme.
Well thres also simply galaxy 3.0 which is gingerbread witg a honeycomb thene... its a bit unstable but utherwise its pretty damn amazing

Yup, there sure is. You have to piece it together from multiple things (themes, icons, etc.) to get it the way you want, but it's all out there, lol!

No prob. Just go to the market and search for the FREE "Honeycomb ADW Theme" by GFX Android. Out of all the themes that cost money, this one is ABSOLUTELY FREE and definitely the best. Wait till you see the mother load of icons it comes with along with the search bar you are asking for. And, you can always get as creative as you want with a little patience and Root Explorer, lol!

[ROM] Android Phone 7 [Synergy Base, DeSensed, Stock Lockscreen]

DISCLAIMER:
Guess I need one of these... IF this breaks your phone.... I'm truly sorry, but thats about Ill i can say.
You know the risks.
But this rom should work pretty good out of the box... PLEASE WIPE Everything before saying there is a bug, that way we can keep things simple
download
here
INFO : Ok, So let me start of by explaining. I know this is an android forum, but if anyone likes the minimalistic look of windows phone 7, which I do then try this rom out and let me know....
It's not like I custom built this (I'm not that knowledgeable yet), I took the synergy base, removed all the htc stuff like the lockscreen and rosie launcher and added in Launcher 7. The free one, I am in the process of getting permission of the owner of the app (though I dont know why he would mind, it is pretty much increasing popularity for his launcher).
I plan on adding in widget locker as well I need to get permission for that too, so It might be awhile.
This was just a little project that would be an easy way to get a windows 7 looking phone. If no one likes it then let this thread die and ill try later....hahaha Till then I'm uploading it now and should post the link by tonight.
ScreenShots uploading should be posted in a few.
All thanks to
Synergy Rom
Launcher 7
IF you like the launcher get the pro version.
Click HERE if you would like more icons for launcher 7 it's in post 2 & 3.
Changelog :
Upcoming Version:
Trying to get a hold of the dev to see if there is a way to include a theme for the launcher 7 so it can look more stylish.
Need to get a hold of the widgetlocker people to see if they wouldn't mind me adding it to the rom.
I set up my android environment finally, I am learning.... its just a matter of time.
1.0
Tried to remove as much SENSE as possible without getting FC's
Stock Lock Screen
Launcher 7
To Change your Lockscreen wallpaper:
Go into launcher 7 settings and choose "Change Wallpaper" and choose the one you want. "If you leave the "Background Color" as black, then your launcher 7 background will stay black and your lockscreen will only change. You change "Background Color" to "System Wallpaper" Then both will be the same.
Bugs:
Only 1 that I have noticed so far is the music app wont start off the homescreen, you have to long press and remove the widget. Then add it back. Please let me know if there is any other bugs... My DSL connection tells me there is like 3 hours left for uploading...
nice can't wait

thanks for giving us props man ill check it out when my phones on for more than five minutes
looks very interesting, thank you
You guys have a really good base, thanks for all your hard work.
Haha, nice idea man. If you could either mod the AOSP lockscreen to look like WP7, or include another like you are planning, that would be cool.

It has sense taken out, and standard lockscreen. There is not that much of a difference though I plan on changing it over though so there will be a big difference soon.
Great idea-Thank you!
I flashed this rom, the only issue is the one that you already mentioned on your first post, thank you for being creative, this is totally different than anything else.

Google Search Bar

Maybe i'm missing something or there is some intricate way to search for this that I am not seeing. Is there a way to remove this crap google search bar and reclaim that space on the STOCK ICS Launcher??? Is there a mod for this? And how can I get the AT&T Carrier Signal back? I'm using Team Perfections RC3 ROM and I love it...I just want the ability to do what I want with my phone. Having a search bar on each of my screens is a hot mess! Who thought of this shiznick!!!??
Any ics launcher settings should have an option called "persistent search bar".
Also, you'll want to put future inquiries in the Q&A section. The users here thrive on flaming people who make posting mistakes.

ICS Text Squashed, PLEASE SEE

Guys, I've noticed this on all ICS ROM's that the text in notifications and on lockscreen is squashed and not looking good, seems like the text size has been compressed which makes it unreadable/look bad. I tried changing the font size in settings but it has no effect on notification drawr and lockscreen. Please help me fix this, this thing spoils the beauty of ICS
U first stop creating a new thread for all the problems u are facing.. instead u can pm anyone of our devs and ask .. don't overload xda server .. we are having more than 2 discussion threads for ics, u can ask there ..
What am I supposed to SEE? There's not even a frickin' screenshot attached of your "squashed" text.

Like lolphirae said, you didn't attach any screenshot so we cannot know how your text looks.
Did you try Roboto font on a GB rom? Roboto is more square-y than Droid, maybe it's that combined with our MDPI screen...

How do you make coffee? Oh crap,wrong forums..I meant to post in Starbucks...ha...yeah if you honestly don't know how to flash a kernel,than give yourself a big hug because you'll be that moron who screws his/her phone up....To OP,I'm not positive about why you seem to have that problem..I never recognized it while using any ICS rom...did you ever try using spare parts to increase/decrease the size? Either way,ill agree with what was initially posted. Its better to find an expert or intermediate user who can guide you to your solutions,irregular posts are the reasons why some devs are leaving..I can't say I understand why only because when I was developing on my T-Mobile g1. What seems to have been years ago. Blind just ignore the dumb questions and comments....I enjoyed doing work arounds and code work,who cares about all these rules on XDA...Anyways,if you find a solution b4 the thread is locked,please share with the rest of us
