[Launcher] Sony Arc Revisited - Nexus S Themes and Apps

Not taking ANY credit for this launcher and sorry for posting it up again since Sonnysekhon already discussed it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978990&highlight=sony+launcher but it didn't get much acclaim because someone pointed out it didn't fit right. I'm pretty sure it came from the guys in the Android development forum here, somehow I got my hands on it and tried it and loved it since this one is the right dimensions for the NS.
All I did was theme in some more transparency into the backgrounds and dock. Been running this on my Nexus S(gsm) for months and love it.
I've tried every launcher out there and like them but this is always my goto launcher at the end of the day. Its works great at being minimalistic and very organized at the same time.
Unfortunately its not the greatest for customizations and definitely miss notification pulldown gestures. Its also set at 5 screens only but since the dock folders can hold everything inside them and are scrollable its not a problem.
Just thought I'd share it

------------------------------
After I modded it, it doesn't want to install normally so I just made a flashable zip and works fine.

Thanks dl it now

Thanks! I will try it.

i might be a bit offtopic but how did you get the transparent notification bar?

This is pretty nice and very snappy. But it is not centering things for me.. everything but the main dock is scootched to the left with my lcdd at 210...

Hi to every one! I've tried this launcher but the dockbar application are cut ... someone else??

Can I install this by installing the .apk that's in the system folder?
What do I do with the contents of the META-INF folder?
I can't flash this one because the Nexus S I'm trying to install it on isn't rooted.
Thanks!

[MM Theme] lilBUUF

Alright so I've been a fan of the BUUF icon set for a while now and there haven't been any theme updates for the new CM so i threw this little MM together its not anywhere near as complete as the original BUUF theme but i threw most of the little icons and framework things from the BUUF theme by DeaDnuLL I also used a little bit from Dr. Cloverdales Magic Elixer
I was using SuperBad 1.7 while making this so thats what i think it will look best over but it should work on any CM
BIG SHOUT OUT TO mattahan FOR HIS AMAZING ARTWORK
and ill be working to BUUF it up a notch.

there seems to be something wrong. Plus the file looks very small.

I would try applying it with metamorph, after all, that's what it is made for.
Got it to work. Thanks. Can't wait till more things to be added.

The link isn't working. Can anyone send me this file please?
i just downloaded it from the lnk and it worked for me....try again?
looks good but...
Besides what the ADW Launcher BuuF Theme adds, what else does THIS thing add...?
* The USB Connected icon
* The battery (without percantage) icon
* Anything else?
Please don't take offence
I'm just trying to figure out if this is still worth the flashing (=

[MM Theme] BlackMod

This is based off a BlackMod theme I've been using since my original Droid. Simple black bar and icons based off Sense, pull down has been modified slightly. No other changes. Install with MM and reboot.

EDIT: forgot to mention that I changed the pop up windows (3rd screenshot) to match the Droid X. I think it tones down the blue just enough.

Link doesn't work.
I do like the sense notif and galaxy s battery though.
Sorry, works now.
yeah, I thought the blue battery worked well since the rest of the Galaxy theme was blue-centric.
i applied it, rebooted, and everything was still the same lol
Hmm...try again? I've heard sometimes metamorph is picky.
twice so far and nothing. i tried to unzip it through metamorph and applying it and unzipping it on my computer and applying it. both didn't work
Was there any sort of error, or does it appear to be working and then nothing changes?
it appeared to be working, but then nothing changed. I just redownloaded the file and it worked. thanks! looks good
Ok, glad you got it working.
looks great thanks

Download metamorph from the market, move zip to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/.
Open mm and and choose extract/unzip and choose xml and apply all.

do you have to be dexoded to use themes?
Quick question,
If I were to use this and want to revert back to the stock look (for whatever reason) what would have to be done? Are there certain files I should backup or just the respective system/framework .apk's?
Thanks!

1-download the file : DOWNLOAD
2-put the file on your phone
3-open ROOT EXPLORER
4-do a backup of “livewallpaper.apk” in “system/app”
5-copy the file that you've downloaded into “system/app” (overwrite it)
6-restart the phone and set your live wallpaper
thanks!
... is not at least 10 characters.
Works great! Although I'd prefer a bit more quality on the background. I figured it should have been better being a direct pull from the Nexus S.
Anywho, I sorta remade the static background of it last night pretty quickly on my laptop with no mouse since I dig the design. Maybe those of you with the Nexus Revamped Pro edition may want to use it with a custom background so it looks a bit better.
Thanks for this. New look for today.

It's not a direct pull from the Nexus S. This is just a look alike made by the3dguy. The real one will look nicer when we get it.
Ahhh I stand corrected. Only one more day I suppose
Found this in yet another system dump people are doing. Still doesn't look that crisp.

[Q] Customize CM7 default sliders of lockscreen

Hi all guys,
as you surely know the stock sliders lockscreen of CM7 is pretty the same of the photo below. I remember a HoneycombWannabeLocksreen which currently doesn't work anymore since nightly #35

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My question is, how to modify it? Are there any metamorph or theme that can customize the sliders?
Currently I'm using a density of 170 that seems totally incompatible with rotary and lense CM7 lockscreen
I don't want to use widgetlocker cause on my Desire (aka bravo) I'm experiencing serious lag once pressing the unlock on the phone.
THX everyone for answering
Are you reffering to my wannabe lockscreen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602
Im still using this to this day with the new nightlies and metamorph still works just fine for me. If not You can always pull your framework, edit the images you wish to your liking and then push back.

holy! Last time I used it it messed up all the rom and I left the idea. After a month and more (this evening) I looked at your thread and i saw that last edit was on march and thought nothing was changed. THX
But, are there in the enormous XDA database other mod like yours, maybe with other styles?

Im sure there are, mine has died down now but I still it use it. You can always get a morph of a mod you like and edit the images by switching them to something to your liking as well if you prefer to use morph.

There's already a thread for this. Two actually.

Should have been in the eva-wid (or eva-wido) folder with the file name e-home2.
I like this theme, but I think it's draining my batteries a lot faster than I would like it to. >_>
I got Glaeja and all those widgets running on my phone the other day, but since then I've been having some really weird problems.
My SD card sometimes won't mount for a really long time.
Often when I go to type something in the messaging app (or anywhere actually) the text doesn't show up and the cursor doesn't move, but the phone recognizes I'm typing because the predictive options show up.
Native screenshot (power button + home) has like a 3 minute lag now. It takes a screenshot of wherever my phone is at LONG after I tried to take one.
Anyone else noticing stuff like this?
