This a thread for posting screenshots of how you've customized your phone.

How to:

1. You must have root to take a screenshot.
2. Download a screenshot app, I chose screenshot in the market.
3. Upload your screenshot, I chose the imgur uploader from the market.
4. Post your screen with details about what you've done so people don't have to ask.

To upload an image to imgur you must view the screenshot in gallery then share to imgur. Then copy the url.

Velocity 0.1.1
928droid theme(Custom Modified by myself)
LauncherPro
BattStatt & Beautiful Widgets Small

Personal Customizations Include:
Notification Bar Redone to be more sleek.
From scratch usb and debugging icons.
Changed clock color to white for better contrast.
Refined the signal strength icon for a smoother look.
Changed full signal icon to say OMG(I live in an area where full signal is a blessing.)
(Planning on doing more to make the phone my own.)

Been a busy 30 minutes of customizing before bed.
Probably post more updated info tommorow.

I'll have to figure out how to get the index file properly written(mm complains atm) but sure!

You'll still have to do a custom job to get the clock to white. You can do so witht he following how-to(tested and verified. Did it myself.):
[HOW-TO] Change status bar clock color [Archive] - xda-developers

Interesting you had luck with that clock tutorial. I tried that on a deodexed rom and a stock rom with no luck. Changed the date in the status bar though.

Any tips or things you did differently? I'm going to give it a shot tonight on the velocity rom.

Here's what I've been working on. This is the 928Droid theme modded a bit.

A few things I changed:

Wifi Icon:
The wifi icon in the status bar from the 928Droid theme was imo really really ugly. It was very jaggy and also a nasty lime green color. My solution was to take the 4 wifi .png images from Settings\res\drawable-hdpi and place them in framework/res. I renamed the old wifi .png images and named the new ones with the old images file names. This gave me a much smoother gray wifi logo. I think it looks alot cleaner.

Alarm clock icon:
The icon in the status bar for the alarm clock had a black background behind it, I removed the bg and smoothed the edges of the icon.

Usb debug and alert icons:
Both of these were wild colors, so i desaturated them and then leveled them to white.

Notification bg:
The background for the notification had the android logo behind it. I liked it plain so I removed it.

Lock screen unlock icon:
The unlock icon I changed from green to gray to match the "sounds off" icon on the lock screen.

Charging, low battery icons on lock screen:
These I changed the lightning bolt on the batter from red/yellow to black. May change them to white to match the status bar battery icon.

Launcher is ADW.Launcher with the dock enabled, and home screen icons removed. Wallpaper is stock Velocity V0.1.1 Rom wallpaper/droidx wallpaper.

White clock is done from this tutorial:
[HOW-TO] Change status bar clock color [Archive] - xda-developers

However, some issues arose when I tried to apply it.

Step 17: adb remount did not work. I had to boot into recovery and run:

adb shell mount /system
adb push <local file path> /system/framework

Step 18: has a slash after framework adb push services.jar /system/framework/
This will return an error. The last slash is not needed.

Over all I like my theme, gonna keep working on it and see what else I can do.

Its LauncherPro with a custom dock which can be found here:
Most Recent Docks | LauncherPro Icons

LauncherPro is in the market just search for it(It's Free)

This one is mine:

or scan the code
chart


The clock is Beautiful Widgets (also on the market)
after you download it just add the widget and select the setting to change the clock skin to "Droid Flip". (A quick way to find it is to sort all the clock skins by Downloads) "Airportone" is another really good clock skin

My hybrid WP7/Custom look.

Velocity 0.3
Launcher Pro Plus
Desktop Visualizer
Icons (actually widgets using DV) are a mix of my design and Windows_Phone_7_Icons_by_yankoa (great download to get started with the look)
Date is the FiftyTwo widget
Also have SwitchPro widget for settings icons

Working on enhancing this theme (status bar and indicator icons, etc.) and creating a ZIP for Metamorph. Might do a custom wallpaper too.
