I posted the link to this guide in the Homescreen snapshot thread, but I guess it will get better coverage as a separate thread. This guide is courtesy of Notto over @ Xoom Forums.
I've seen many posts by people struggling to get this to work and the common reply to date has been to persevere and it will eventually work. Notto has put together this, his shot at a detailed explanation of how to set up the vertical battery widget using Minimalistic Text with screen shots.
How to set up minimalistic battery widget
Steps
1. Download minamilisticText widget from the market
2. Touch the plus in the top right hand corner of your home screen (the add widget button) and select the 1x5 vertical widget
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. This will take u into the settings screen for the widget. It will always be in vertical screen. Do not change any of the settings, just hit back and go back to the home screen. Make sure the widget appeared. It should show the time in text sideways.
4. Then tap on the widget and go back into settings. (I know this sounds stupid but trust me, changing the settings right away can screw it up)
5. Set up the settings, this is the hard part everyone has trouble with
Name - change it to whatever, I chose BatteryVertical
Background - uncheck show background. This will give it a transparent look
Widget direction - left to right
for the other three under orientation make sure their all the same with center selected
Predetermined layout - select custom
Custom layout
1. First you want to long hold on the three boxes in the first row, one at a time. After selected a trash can will appear, drag and drop and the box will be remove. It should just be one row with nothing in it at this point.
2. Then you want to click on the second button on the right, the green add button, not the plus sign. This will add another row. You want to press this 9 times. This will give you a total of 10 rows. If you want 0% you can add that as well. The only difference is the extra row in this part and then font size.
3. Now you click on the plus sign on the right, this will pull up a menu. Click on the battery section on the bottom. Scroll over to battery level bar 100%. Put this on the top row. Repeat these steps for each of the battery levels. Put one % on each row, descending from the top.
Text style
Normal/Non accented - You want these both the same
Font family - default
Bold/italic - unchecked
Size - 30 for no 0 / 28 with
Case - normal
Color - white, just the default as white as possible
Use system cold - unchecked
Blur ratio - 0
Accented
Font family - default
Bold - checked
Italic - unchecked
Size - 50 without 0. / 48 with
Color - you can use whatever but I use FF118AEB under hex to match the system color as best as possible
Blur- 0
6. Hit save
This is all you need to set up the widget, it works in both landscape and horizontal. Hope this works for all of you.

Sorry m8, can't help you on this one yet. I'm hopefully getting my Xoom on Tuesday and will only then be trying this out myself.
Ok, I'll keep trying to figure it out

Anyone else notice the widget looks a little goofy (cut off the 10 percent on the bottom and 100 is on two lines) when the battery percentage is fully charged at 100%?
Check it out.

Try setting up the widget on another screen (not Home screen) and then after setting up drag it back to the Home Screen. this seems to work for me as I also couldn't find the widget on the Home Screen after trying to set it up there.
Great job on the GUIDE!
And yes, try setting up the widget on a blank screen and then dragging it to the screen you want.
MT is not optimized for honeycomb yet and can be a bit buggy at times.
Excellent tutorial thank you! Honestly this was bugging me in how to achieve!

Looks to be fixed now with them backing out the Motorola hack for the Xoom. My battery percentage is now correct.

12 Hour Clock
When in the settings for S2U2, I change the clock option to option 2, for the 12 hour clock,. But doing this messes up where the numbers are on the white flippers. Is there a fix to use the 12 hour clock option correctly?

In the registry change the clock format to:
hh':'mm
That ought to do it. It will give you the 12 hour clock but will use all 4 spaces, centering the numbers.
Ex:
03:15
Where in the registry is this setting? Sorry, I have never needed to change registry settings.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2]
"TimeFormat"="HH':'mm"
Change to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2]

I doubt it. All the wallpaper images have been heavily modified. I also don't use the caller ID functions of S2U2 since the Slide 2 Answer features are built into the dialer in the ROM I'm using and I don't use the volume controls either since I installed the Raphael Volume Control Cab.

I watch just one city, my home town and S2U2 reads the weather great. Try taking all but one city out as a temporary fix just to see if it works. If it does then you may want to just watch your home town. If you still have the problem with just one city then I would just go back to watching however many cities you want.

I'm just watching one city. It's a city that I added with the weather database editor (Parkesburg, PA). It works fine in TF3D, but doesn't show anything on the lock screen.

This was created for the Vibrant, but I see no reason why it would not be compatible with the Captivate. Enjoy.
This Metamorph changes the status bar and status icons to the Sense theme. Make sure you are using the latest version of Metamorph (1.9.13 or higher). I'm not responsible for anything you do to your phone.
WARNING:
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in Settings -> Applications -> Development.
If you're using the standard TouchWiz launcher, this morph will remove the Messaging icon from the bottom dock. To get it back, open your applications, press menu, view type, customizable. Menu again, then edit. Find the Messaging icon, drag it back into the dock, then menu, save, menu, view type, alphabetical grid (or whatever you had it on before.)

Yeah, the battery uses the HTC scale to show level, not the completely retarded Samsung scale that always shows damn near full.
This might be a dumb question, but I'm new to android so I'm gonna fire away anyways. I really prefer the way this made my notification bar look, but there is one thing that seriously bothers me up there, although it isn't directly related to this thread.
Is there any way to change the notifications for apps in the notification bar on the left side? In particular, I hate the way the juicedefender notification looks, and would like to change it to something... less colorful. Is this possible?
Short answer: Yes, if you're dead set on doing it.
Long answer: Metamorph wasn't really designed for Market apps, but it has been done. You would need to create an icon, and then build a metamorph zip around it. You could also pull the app from your computer, remove the icon, replace it with a new one, and resign the zip file. If you're not sure what you're doing, both methods will be a pain in the ass, but luckily there are plenty of tutorials on XDA.

Thanks, I sent you a PM to prevent the further derailment of the original thread.
On a more on topic note, every time I look at my notification bar I like it more and more. The battery icon does seem more accurate, and it didn't affect the brightness control swipe action.
this WILL work if using a launcher separate from TouchWiz right? i use LauncherPro, and just making completely sure before i try using it.

Yes. This modifies the system framework, not the launcher. Technically this morph will work on any HDPI android phone.

is there anything special I need to do to calibrate the battery icon? I'm at 67% battery right now and it's showing the same scale as the old samsung icon (i.e a sliver shaved off to denote the battery is between 50%-75%)
Do I sideload this onto my captivate or how do I install it??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Install Metamorph from the market, and move the file in the download link to your phone. There will be a folder called AndroidThemes on the root level of your SD card. Open Metamorph and locate it, the hit extract. After it extracts, select the applications you'd like to modify, or just hit Apply All.

I was explaining to a previous poster that Metamorph wasn't designed to be used to theme market apps. You can put whatever you want on the home screen. This morph just replaces the images. It doesn't change functionality at all.

It's possible that the Samsung battery fiasco runs deeper than just the images. I thought mine was showing a more realistic scale, but I could easily be mistaken.
I ran this and my phone just cut to black after applying 4/4 and now won't start?
edit: sorry, stupid, gave it time, pulled the battery, restarted... it's working fine... I just got a big over-anxious
It will soft reboot after applying the framework-res package. As long as it's allowed to run, you will be fine. If you did something stupid, such as pull the battery, you'll need to push framework-res.apk to /system/framework over ADB from recovery in order to get it to boot again.

I sat waiting for a solid 5 minutes with nothing happening. I tried holding down the power button for varying periods of time, to no avail. Plugged in/unplugged USB: nothing...
Eventually said "**** it" because it wasn't responding to anything, and pulled the battery. Replugged the battery, booted fine, the new framework installed just fine.
edit: I should note that I have removed the standard e-mail.apk (not the gmail one) and it tossed out a comment saying it wasn't there, but I assumed it would just skip it and move on (that's the only thing I could imagine that would cause it to sit at the black screen for so long)
For anyone who doesn't know, this is a neat and simple trick to make the items on your screen bigger or smaller:
EASY WAY (it will keep the setting until you do a hard reset-- holding the power down for 10 or so seconds until it powers off):
1. Download LCDDensity for Root (free) from Market
2. Change density based on your preferences (higher # = bigger items, lower resolution; lower # = smaller items, higher res)
MORE ADVANCED WAY (if you want the change to survive a hard reboot):
1. In root explorer, navigate to system/ and backup your build.prop file.
2. Set system to r/w
3. Hold down on the original file, and select open in text editor
4. Find the two entries where it says:
ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=169.33333
ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=169.33333
If you wanted your density to be 250, you'd change them to the following single line:
ro.sf.lcd_density=250
5. Save, reboot, and enjoy your NC's new look.
Here are a couple of my homescreens set at 250:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, jacking up your LCD density much above 200 will make your status bar look wonky and cut-off. One solution for this is to set it to 250, like above (by changing build. prop - I think the app I mentioned only allow multiples of 20), which will make it look clean (as long as wifi is on). The only problem there is that you'll lose your status bar clock and Notifications in portrait mode ...
... the solution for THIS is to get two apps: hellostatusbar, and quick launch. Set quick launch to open hellostatusbar on a home-button double press, and it will display your Notifications.
FYI the Galaxy Tab's default is 240

The free one, LCDDensity for Root, doesn't keep the change after doing a full (battery pull) reboot. To me, this is less than ideal, but if you don't mind changing it again, knock yourself out.

I believe he is using the phone example for reference. In the case of the NC, the free option should be a good alternative for those not wanting to modify scripts.
Anyway, thanks for providing the entries to change manually. It's a good tip.

Yeah, good point - not sure if a power-button-long-hold hard reset would be the equivalent on a Nook or not. If it is only a battery pull that would do it, then you would indeed need a screwdriver and a little bit of masochism for that to be a problem.
EDIT: the long power button hold reset DOES make the free app lose the setting
If anyone's interested in getting the density more like the Galaxy Tab's without having an ugly, cut-off looking status bar in portrait mode (with a couple sacrifices), here's a little work-around I came up with (if you're using softkeys mapped to double-tap of home button, this isn't for you):
1. Set density to 250 using the build.prop editing method. Reboot.
2. Get a market app called HelloStatusBar.
3. Get a market app called QuickLaunch. Open it and set home button double-tap to open HelloStatusBar.
You'll lose your status bar clock, and it'll look ugly with wifi off, but with wifi on, it'll be nice and clean like the pic below:
Your Notifications will be gone, but now you can double-tap home to bring them up:
Very useful and thanks for sharing!

I'm not familiar with the paid version, so I can't really comment on that.
That's ADW EX launcher, with the browser, email, and app drawer icons from the Galaxy Tab. Not sure if Samsung's launcher icons are open source, so I won't post them (PM'd). . .
So wait the galaxy tab comes stock with the screen virtualized to be a different resolution than it actually is?
adwlauncher ex has adjustable icon sizes. You can adjust so icons are a nice size and not interfere with the dock. As if you needed another reason for ex!

I am using LCD Density Changer at 190. Works great.
I manually changed mine to 141, an opposite reaction to many. By doing this I can get 4-5 items in the notification area on the right and things are not too small on the screen.

I am liking 200, because it makes the back arrow easier to press !
Although we do not yet have access to a screen shot application, it's time to start the inevitable Home Screen thread.

I took a shot of my screen with my trusty G2, sorry for the lack of quality.
By using Bettercut, I was able to use custom icons and remove the labels.
Thanks to jfritz2 @androidforums (link here: http://androidforums.com/t-mobile-mytouch-3g/187204-icons-cyanogenmod-icon-pack-2-18-11-a.html )

I've found that Desktop Visualizer absolutely works with Honeycomb, although it's not available through the market yet. If you can find a copy of the app, you'll find it allows for custom sizes for icons and images placed on the homescreen.
UPDATED:
Using ADW EX, Desktop Visualizer, Widgetsoid, BW, and Pulse, along with some stock widgets.
The device pics take me directly to the XDA Forum for each applicable device

What toggle widget is that?
A few other things to note...
When searching for icons, I recommend using 256x256 pngs, the standard icons do not scale well in Bettercut or DV. You'll notice that although the icons are 1x1, they are scaled larger when removing the labels.
As for the wallpaper, I'm sure ou noticed my lack of originality. The truth is, I love this wallpaper. I use it as the wallpaper on my Honeycomb themed G2, my laptop and even my Xbox360.

I'm using Widgetsoid, available for free in the market, for the toggles.
Extended Controls will allow the same customization.

Fantastic! Have you noticed any lag with Launcher Pro? I tried it momentarily but noticed a lag when switching screens. Any limitations?

No lag but I changed some of the settings to optimize.

No issues but when I was trying to set it to one screen only, it force closed on me a couple times. Once I got that set, no issues so far. I like the swipe gesture on the application drawer icon. It brings up your last 16 recent apps instead of the 5 limit using the honeycomb one.

Where is the option to set the app drawer swipe to show recent apps?

Long press application drawer icon, select swipe gesture action, select show popup, select recent apps.

It appears that keitht used the sdk to cap. This is the only way as of now, considering none of the screen cap apps have been updated to support Honeycomb.

Yes. You have to have the SDK loaded. See FAQ link in my signature. Also need to be in debug mode which I do not think is mentioned in that article Settings > Application > Development.

Can you please provide instruction for getting WP to look good? Every image I try, it asks me to crop and then it looks like caca.
Thanks

Its a little funky in the notification window in landscape
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Also when you press menu the button backgrounds are black, and so is the text, so you can't read it. Is that on purpose?
Other than that its seems pretty complete.

its cause i was up all night.. haha
if you wait a few minutes i am editing it a bit more...
i will be including a zip of the launcher docks as well .... what launcher do you use
Okay I'll wait, and I don't use a launcher I think that the default one is awesome, but if I had to choose I would use launcher pro, especially if that was themed. And btw how do I replace the framework? I can't seem to, with adb or root explorer, haha, I've never done this before. Thank you so much for all of the work ;D.

well the theme will look much better with a matching dock i think!!
instructions to install:
you have to be careful... but i use Root Explorer....
first go to system\framework and make a backup of the original framework-res.apk... after that... proceed here
1. place my framework-res.apk in SDcard...
2. long hold it and click "copy"
3. then keep pressing the top most folder called ".." until u ar at root...
4. then go to system\framework and click the button at the top right that says "mount r/w"
5. then paste... asks you if you want to overwrite... click yes... as soon as you do as quickly as you can press and hold the framework-res.apk you just pasted there and scroll down to permissions and make sure every box is checked...
a few things might force close while you are doing that but its okay just make sure the permissions are set (all checkboxes checked)
after that just reboot!
Worked like a charm, thank you.
Love it so far, just wish the icons from the theme were with it as well, oh well framework res looks amazing, fantastic job, I can't believe somebody did it, and this quickly!
I use Super Manger instead of Root Manager. It's free. When I did it the phone rebooted itself.
(I think that's all the screens you wanted)
Landscape still not quite balanced. Also you can see the strip of colors seems to overlap on the landscape mode. The date in notification seems to have a black background, not transparant, and you can see the shade move behind the notification bar as you slide up and down.

Love that song too. I knew after I started that season (I didn't start watching the show until after it ended) that I must, at all costs, locate that song for a ringtone.
Also, not a big fan of landscape mode. That is the biggest reason I haven't messed with those icons. I tried to make my own theme starting with a OUT kitchen file for the battery. I could never get those to space right. But, having them spaced wrong was worse than icons I don't like, I'm OCD that way.
Noticed something else: the "spinning" progress bar for downloading, installing, etc is mis-matched.

Tell me when or if you manage to fix those problems, I'm looking forward to it. ;D
Theme looks nice so far, but isn't this a port of theme that someone else made?

Yes it's a port of a theme named Lunar for CM7, I suggested that somebody ported it last night and it actually happened xD. ;D!
If its a port, then shouldn't credit be given to original maker?
