How do I change the stock (blur?) phone dialer background? I have tried a few and do not like any of the dialers out there. I just want to change the image file used for phones background because I dont like the stock file is blue with a white-ish center. ANyone know where the file is located?
U have to theme the stock apk. I am currently working on this. I am porting over the extreme dialer.

You could just use some of the stable ROMS out so far... CM7 from cybik is working well and CM7's dialer is pretty badass.
Can you take some screen shots of the dialer?

Cm7 w/ blue bionic theme
See now that is a nice looking dialer. Thx for posting screenshot.
I checked out cybik's thread but it looks nowhere near ready to consider. I need something stable as I am on the phone/email all day long and cant go with something not semi-fully functional.
There is no way to just change the background image using Root Explorer or something? I cant believe its not that simple.
The main thing I'm interested in changing is the blue background with the white center when showing contact photo.

why not just hide the notification bar or use adw launcher and make it hide but also have the up swipe to hide/show notifications....or try searching the themes for the eris here
I don't want it hidden, I've seen some themes for the nexus where it is clear but still has the icons and everything on it and I think it looks pretty cho l but can't find one that will work. And yes I've looked threw the themes and apps section. I wouldn't be wasting orioles time if I could easily google and find it.

lol yeah i just did a nandroid and applied and all it did was undo my adw settings lol
It didn't do anything to my phone... It looks like if I go to kaosfroyo I MIGHT be able to get one because most of them are for CM6 phones and roms. But I really don't wanna leave white widow. And I really don't want to have to repartition my SD card.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
What I'm really looking for is a "transparent status bar" still haven't found anything googling that though.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
If you have a froyo rom you can change the transparency of the notification bar from the cyanogen settings and tweaks.
Yeah that's what im starting to realize. Guess I'm just screwed your awhile.

Actually the colors yes NOT the transparency which is the alpha setting

Sent from my Eris using XDA App
I'm using CELB which is using 6.0 i think it says in the settings that the alpha (transparency) setting will NOT be applied
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
Hmm. Well I guess that answered my question about what froyo rom to try. And there the rom you tried the transparent status bar on yesterday?
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
I'm going to flash the CELB 2.1 and try again for you its irritating me now lol cuz it would be cool

I flashed every cm6 rom and they all say it won't be applied. Yeah it does look like it would be pretty cool.

With this I can upload videos to facebook something I either couldn't figure out or missed On the market app, I like facebook $ better so far but will keep both

Hey, which battery app is that? I have battery indicator which is fine but it takes up a slot in the notification bar. I like the one you have that just takes the spot of vibrant's battery meter.
Looks pretty good. I loved the messages tab.

I had the same problem. You should go to the link in the post. I know its not supposed to matter, but I made my screen timeout longer. It was stuck each time.... So try that out, it might work for you

Did you install the android SDK when you rooted? There is a tool in the tools folder called ddms or something similar. If you plug your phone into your computer and run that tool it will give you an option to take a screen shot at any point. Even in a 3d game.

Yup shootme user here as well...
Sent from my Galaxy S using XDA App
Shoot me is the best. The only problem for the originator of this thread is that shoot me takes pictures in png format while xda app only let's you upload in jpg therefore you need to wither use drocap2 like everyone else does who uploads here or find a converter for your pictures on the market if one is out there and convert the picture to jpg. Or you can try to tell the devs to make the xda app compatible with png im sure there not to busy and will stop everything there doing for this request. (Lol. Just had to add a little humor not being a smart a**)

After alot of trial and error, I found that drocap2 suited my needs the best. I hated the shake trigger or timer functionalities of the other apps, the first never worked for me and the second was a pain of unparalleled proportions.... These two options are available for drocap as well, but I use the notification trigger functionality which takes a snapshot way quicker and more reliably then the other approaches. Drocap also lets you select were the snapshots end up which is a bonus as I like to store my images inbthe same directory!

One thing you'll notice about the notification trigger for drocap ia that it always appears in the picture. Another thing after further use you'll notice that it takes pictures fast but for every picture or at least the first one you'll will catch it will say "superuser as granted drocap" dudah ... so yeah and well if your like lots of of here (anal about screenshots) having that notification in the bar is a h**l no... enough said.

You could use adw and there is a miui theme on the market that looks very well done. Also many miui Widgets etc on market. My sexy nexy screen look the same as the pics on the market when I used miui.
From there just mess with settings to ur taste like hide dock bar etc. Then painstakingly arrange all apps on the screen, just like miui the first time ^_^, and backup settings and screen arrangements in adw settings

I'd backup JIC but it didn't for me. Turn off fingerprint unlock till ur set up to avoid issues later ...heard it helps. I'm on greyblur and use adw paid version. It was definitely worth it, and I'm a cheap skate ^_^ coming from nexus and all it's great dev love, I wanted all the options it gives. Screen transitions etc.
Didn't touch my webtop that I customized either ^_°

Was curious if anyone had a modded mms.apk that allows for the split sms, emoji, and still has the picture preview when typing in a contact name.
Try this transparent one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29570059
That I do! Ill try to upload it for you when i get home. But, the Inverted Apps thread in Android Development has a modded and themed blackncyan mms.apk that has the option for split messaging as well as many other options. If you wanted just that apk it would just be a matter of pullin it out of the zip and pushing it to system/app, changing the permissions and rebooting afterwards of course.
That transparent one is exactly what I was looking for thanks man... couldn't find the one you were talking about in android development but maybe its cuz I'm looking through the app or I just suck lol

Here you are. This is just the one from 4.0.3 before they removed the split sms option.
