What is this and how did you do it? Is it something you can setup on a non-root device (I have the Incredible with a Launcher2 (a Nexus launcher I guess) app that I haven't installed yet. I love this look, especially the right side icon/widget look!!!!

P.S. Where is the system bar??? (or is that what the right side icons are)

Its Home++ beta I believe, It hides statusbar and creates those white icons you see.

Still been changing mine around alot. Looking through this thread has been giving me some inspiration for a different style. But this is what I am currently rocking:

Acer Liquid, Rooted/LCR 1.6 ROM

From Left to Right:
First screen=Phone Functions.
Second Screen=Internet/Social Networking.
Third Screen=Entertainment/Tools.
Fourth Screen=The "Where I need to be, how I could get there and when I have to be there" Screen.
Fifth Screen=Sports/Fitness/Education.
Sixth Screen=Settings/Battery (with a Phandroid RSS feed on the top)

I do not yet own an Android but expect to on June 4th. In some of the demos I have seen on youtube for the EVO 4G, the background seems to be active as opposed to passive in that while they were showing the phone, it appeared that a water droplet hits the screen and it ripples the whole background, like the icons are on top of a river or something.

Is that a normal background for an Android, or was it my imagination. I am sure I saw it do that. It was like the picture in the background is actually fluid.

Anyone see that or is it just old news to you who have had your Android for awhile?

Its old news. Its a live wallpaper. The Evo, the Nexus One, and a few of the newest phones have them. It is also possible to get it onto older phones with root access, but it is not as smooth. I don't use it on my rooted phone because for me, it is slower, and I believe that it eats into my battery life. It should be fine on the Evo with the snapdragon though.

I just have a question. I will be picking up my first Android device on June 4'th (HTC EVO), so this is new to me. Will these themes work with the HTC Sense UI installed? I've read great things about Sense, so I'd hate to give it up, but the themes are cool. I think it would be funny to have the iPhone theme for a little while, just to mess with people.

edit - Well, I've answered my own question by browsing through these very cool themes that have been posted. There are obviously several themes running with Sense UI. I still wonder if there are any compatibility issues that you have to work around. Like I said though, I haven't even used an Android yet, so these are probably dumb questions.

Hats off to those who have posted their work so far...beautiful work. I look forward to learning how to customize my own.
