i want that wallpaper if its the live one that comes with the driod x. Where did you get that one from. And does my phone have to be rooted?

CaCHooKa Man

im assuming you could use the sideloading method that doesnt require rooting but i dont know anything about it since the first thing i did on my phone was root it. heres a link to the wallpapers:

Pinetrees, though it's nothing special to you, it's amazing to me. I purchased this phone due to my eyesight problems. Your setup is what I need to complete my visualization issues.

Sorry for this but could you tell me the different apps you have here and how you installed them.

Much thanks, Tomween1

That is LauncherPro using the Froyo dock. The weather widget is Fancy Widget, which you can download by scanning this QR code with a barcode scanner on your phone:

OK so admittedly I'm still an idiot! I looked at the free barcode scanners, but I'm miffed, how do I download them? There is no, straight up, DOWNLOAD showing on any of them!

Also is Froyo hard to install and do I need it to add these items?

Thanks again, bewildered

OK, think I have my device laid out the way that is most functional for me... I use four home screens (entertainment, home, calendar, social) and am using QuickDesk as an overlay to get to folders, see battery info, and access power control. Overall this works real well for me personally. I am using ADW.launcher with the the Droid X theme.

Calendar screen:


Social screen:

anybody else using the fancy weather widget and the temperature stays the same?

It's like that off and on. Dennis over at anddoes.com promises a new version soon.

I have to ask, what is going on in this screenshot? That looks like HTC Leap feature...are you using a custom rom or is that from something else? I'd really like that on my phone.

DT

Howdy!

That's Launcher Pro. You either double-tap the Home button or "pinch" the screen (like how you zoom an image) and all your home/desktop screens display, then you can select the one you want. Pretty nice way to switch between screens vs. scrolling. I like the idea of having each Home screen fine tuned to a specific function like travel, social networks, general home, etc.

edit: my screenshot has color problems. I'll try and fix.

I'm mainly jealous of your 4:00 massage.

Use a site like appbrain. You can install the apps straight from there. Here is a barcode scanner: Barcode Scanner - Android app on AppBrain

You can also login and create app lists (apps you want to install). Its a very handy and organized way to keep a list of your apps.

Incredible weather app/widget. Tons of options, GPS or manual, seems to be totally up-to-date with weather data, backgrounds, themes, great find!

I realize my colors were funky too and I saw there was an option to 'invert red/blue' which fixed me up.

Here's my weather now:

djgibbsjr

When you hold down on the icon and change it, it will popup with use original icon or launcherpro icons. Choose launcher pro icons and choose the mail one. Or whatever matches what you are putting there. You may have to change it and change it back to choose the icon again. Hope this helps

acertainman

Yes, I love it! And your home screen looks great as well!

CrimsonPride

acertainman

Okay, how do you get the Camera icon up there?

shizzy1427

In the notification bar? Its a root thing. Its called Drocap2 in the market, and it allows you to take screenshots of the device, from the device rather than the sdk.

I have one too, but it's a simple[r] grey icon - in my case it's a notification from Photobucket that a picture you just shot can be sent up automagically.

harryzwd

dadams312 - what's that little "notification" on your gmail icon...? like unread emails....how do you get that to display?

Calendar screen:





What's the calender app you used? is this stock app? because I can't get widget for calender and i'm using launcher pro.

Racktacular

I really like the icons and the Atlanta Braves logo on the bottom. Mind telling me where you got that from?

Racktacular

Also, can someone tell me how you guys have colored icons on the dock bar in Launcher Pro? Mine are black and white and I can't figure out how to get colored ones.

TIA.

DT

When you create a shortcut on the dock (or replace one), there's an option to choose: LP Icon (the grey assortment), Default (which is the embedded standard Android icon) or choose a custom one from your gallery!

chicknlil

Given his name and location, I'm thinking that's an Alabama logo, not a Braves logo, but I could be mistaken.

I'm curious about the look too though - is that a custom theme? And for what launcher type?

Racktacular

You're probably right. Either way he needs to fess up. Lol

Yes, thank you. However, I don't see any that allows a colored GMail 'M' icon. It allows the red Gmail tag icon. A greyed out GMail 'M' icon. And a picture from my gallery. Still can't figure out the colored icons. Perhaps you need to be rooted?

Racktacular

This would be an example of what I'm trying to do. The icons are colored. How can I do that?

jhnstn00

me too. LOL.

AndroidForMe

To use colored icons: Long press dock -> change app -> use default icon

acertainman

I'll let you all know how my massage goes.. I found out I have one tomorrow, as well. Don't judge me.

jesterkiller

the battery widget that just shows the text of the battery life. which widget is that?

Racktacular

BattStatt. It's in the market. It's free.

Racktacular

Yeah, but the default icon for GMail is a red tag. I dislike it. The colored GMail logo must be a custom icon. Thanks for the response though.

NOSintake

What is that widget in the bottom right with the time?

mercdizzle

keredini

This is the Android Agenda Widget, free in the market.

speedfreak32

I would also like to know what clock widget that is with the text

DT

Here's a fresh one for fun (I've gyrated with my home screens for hours ):

DT

Found several different JPGs of varying icons, so I grabbed a few, made a few tweaks/resized, converted them into individual PNGs (w/ transparent BG). Just kind of messing around, but here's a quick sample of my DIY-ers

I'm not doing cartwheels or anything as these need more work (the edges are very soft, though it's not as apparent on the actual phone), but this was more of a proof-of-concept, going from widely available JPG icon "sheets" to usable Android icons.
