[ssLauncher] Show your ssLauncher layout - Android Themes

Hi! I recently discovered the ssLauncher. It is a really nice and customizable launcher. It is design seems to be inspired by WP7, but it has more similarities to the WP7 APPS than the launcher itself. It has a clean and simple style and you scroll sideways to get to more pages/ catagories. I made this thread so we can share layouts and ideas, similar to the Launcher7 thread.
ssLauncher is avaible free in the Android Market here
I can start with my current homescreen
{
"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"
}

Great thread idea. I've played very little with the launcher but love its capability doing text-label "icons".
Subscribing to see the potential.
Used to have to use desktop Visualizer just to do the label icons themselves, without the slick panel animation that ss does.

It works for me with both png and jpg. You have to apply a shortcut style which has the icon shown, select style and scrolldown to see them

Nice one, good idea to just hide the navigator completely Gives it a clean look
Updated my layout a bit and added the zips for my layout for any1 to use

I'm the developer of the launcher.
I have found this thread yesterday and linked this on the ssLauncher blog, "chyk-ss.blogspot.com". (i cannot use link )
And i would like to give some tips to share your theme and layouts easily.
Tips are here, "chyk-ss.blogspot.com/2012/02/share-your-theme-and-layout.html".

App drawer
Still a work in progress. I tend to not use it like a magazine. What drew me to it was the ability to basically put anything I want anywhere plus the grids to line it up.

Where can we posts request/feature?
I need a quick access to the page because i have a lot of label.
What do you think about a quick scrolling label on the top(right and left) to go to a page.
Thanks a lot for this nice application. It's my favorite launcher.
Sorry for the off topic.

loving this launcher but can someone please explain what the "padding" feature means/is. sussed the rest out, just not sure what this means. thanks.....

No, there isn't, but I use pages as folders instead. You can put the apps you would've put in your folder in a page, then you can create shortcuts to the pages. I personally just swipe to get to my "folders "

If you look at my screenshot above, all those icons link to seperate folders using the app smart shortcuts.
If you click the shop icon this pops up

how did you make the icons that size bud because when i try to make anything bigger than 128x128 they shrink back down to 128x128 on my screen...?, I have all my folders sorted but I'm not sure how to make the custom icons. nice little folder application by the way, cheers....

I have my grid size slide bars for height and width all the way to the left I believe that is 5. My icon size is set to 100. I then set the icon and resize it to whatever I want making sure to only have the clickable area exactly tje size of the actual icon. I can screenshot it for you later if need be.

[ADW.Themes] Stock Slide Themes *Update - 8/19/2010*

Because apparently the general population can't use common sense, this is a video on how to apply: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i4L0i7zk48
A .zip is linked at the bottom which holds all of the themes. Each theme has two separate versions, one using the Sense application icons, the other using the slide application icons.
The themes are of the stock Slide themes (Nest, Hoops, LightShow, Wildflower, Surf, Nature, and Palazzo) made from images by HTC (I only made them compatible with ADW).
Hoops:
{
"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"
}
LightShow:
Nature:
Nest:
Palazzo:
Surf:
Wildflower:
Issues:
2. For some reason I could not get the vertical scrolling screen to display the app background correctly so you will have to use the Galaxy S drawer unless you don't mind the select/press/normal images not lining up. *Problem with the Stock Launcher Code (Which ADW uses)*
3. Landscape is ugly, sorry, it just is.
4. When adding an app to the hidden dock, the right side of the highlighted dock does NOT reach the edges of the screen, I'll look into this.
5. Scrolling is low quality, it's just an Android thing.
6. The nature theme looks a little odd on the app bar.. thing. It has vertical lines and unfortunately, the way I understand .9's, they like to stretch. It was either have one really long line or lots of lines slightly larger than the original image. I chose the latter.

Good job broseph.
Wow... Good work J!!
You're such an effing swagger jacker.
Very nice looking! The only suggestion I have is to do something with the shortcut names in the app drawer...only the shortest names are fully visible, otherwise they're cut off (because of the border). Maybe there is no way to beautify that, so no biggie. Otherwise, beautiful!
looks great
thanks
looks awesome. thank you
Very cool! I installed it on my phone. Thanks. But I don't have clock widget with weather. How I can get it?

"Weather & Toggle Widget" has a skin that looks exactly like it also, you can download it and the skins (one for clock, one for weather) from the market, it does cost $1.99 though I believe. Totally worth it imo.

Ooohp, yep. I bought that a long time ago as well (Before it was Weather & Toggle Widget).
Also, the Nest theme s currently on the market, to find it you can search for either "ADWTheme Slide" or "pub:klinster". It is one version ahead of all of these themes (and as such has a couple of things fixed, including HDPI support and general fixes with the bubble).
Starting later today I will begin updating the other themes, and ready them for (hopefully) a market release was well.
not fancy widget
So i went ahead and uploaded a widget thats called not fancy widget it's not fancy widget ..............I swear it's not guys ......don't look at me like that. Also I can't for the life of me get the boxes in the drawer to look correct

I been using the one from the market everything is cool but the drawer boxes. i'll try the ones from the first page.
Palazzo worked real well using the slide version. It gave me a force close but i hit wait also want to note my settings which were already setup from using crazybirds theme (nest)
Drawer settings:
horizontal drawer yes
drawer columns to drawer row are all set to four
page horizontal margin is at 10
ui settings:
desktop dots unchecked
secondary action buttons checked
ab scale factor 10
everything else is set to default except background color in drawer
Okay I just checked the ones on the front page and the ones that say slide all work (i didn't test the others) but when I go back to the nest from the market it messes up the drawer boxes. Loving it thanks for your work can't wait till lyrical ink shows up
hello, you can explain me how I apply the themes for the adw see them, I can not see the adw can install themes and

HTC Sense home UI for LP

This is a simple Sense UI homescreen look/theme for launcher pro (NOT a port of sense or any widgets)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
how to use :
1. set sensedock.png as your launcherpro dock
2. set your leftmost icon to go to the app drawer, then select custom icon and use the clearsquare.png as the icon
3. same as step two, but set the middle three icons to be the phone app. again, set the icon to be the clear square
4.set the rightmost icon to be whatever you want, i used messaging. again, use the clear icon
thats it! just tap one of the three sections and it will take you there
now your homescreen dock will look just about the same as senseUI.

@linuxnewb install launcher pro (Free in app market) then go into preferences>apperance settings>dock background> pick custom and select the dock
then hold down each icon on the dock and set it individually
@clown_lov: yes, you just need to go into launcherpro settings and enable it
love it

ok, I have installed via metamorph and have launcher +beta as my launcher...I must be tired, so where do I go to do as your 4 steps tell me to?
ok, yup I am tired...any more questions will wait when I am fully awake - later on today...lol
Works great!!! Thanks - I needed launcher pro, as you said, and at first all I found was the other one...it would be nice to port the HTC SENSE UI in its entirety to the phone. But, until that day happens, this is a great alternative and the UI is still quick, too, on the captivate. Now, could you point me in the general direction of where I could change the sound and image files of this awesome phone? Thank!!

its not likely that an entire sense ui port will ever happen, basically because senseui is for and by HTC phones, which bare a total of almost no hardware similarities with the sgs. (check this out though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526)
you can look to the android general theme section for some bootscreens and sounds.
Do I have to root my captivate to do this?
All you need is Launcher Pro. Hit up the preferences menu after pressing the menu key on the homescreen and go to Appearance settings to change the dock skin.

the first two ways that come to mind are like a shortcut or something and an app that just opens that menu
personally i dont find that to be a really useful button so i assigned it to messaging
What's the all the ado about Sense?
So in a nutshell, is the appeal of SenseUI:
Customized dock
Useful widgets
Expose-like homescreen management
Am I missing something or does all that seem do-able in LauncherPro + (minus some of the widgets of course)?

the font used is Helvitca. Not a free font and no i can not provide it. A little google might land you it illegally
clock is just digital clock widget with the date in black so you cant see
Instructions:::
Using Launcher Pro Plus or ADW Launcher
and
Desktop Visualizer
For Horizontal Widgets, Select the 4x1 Desktop Visualizer widget, load your 3x1 png and shortcut, and then resize it to 3x1 when placed on the homescreen
For vertical Widgets its straightforward. Widget size is 1x2.
If you want the dock set it in launcher pro and then use a transparent icon for the launcher in the middle. Transparent Icon not included​

More Guidance. Thanks for helpin out

You have to change your home screen to use 5 rows of icons.
1. You have to install Launcher Pro (and activate Plus features to be able to resize the widgets properly)
2. Install Desktop Visualizer
3. In LauncherPro settings, set appearance of the dock to custom, and use the dock from the new layout.
4. Under advanced set rows to 5.
5. Change app launcher icon to http://www.elektrobike-hotels.com/markers/transparent.png
6. Remove icons from dock.
7. Create Desktop Visualizer widgets of the appropriate size and configure them to look like the layout.

for the proper functioning is necessary not to use the option to hide the taskbar when used causes Racked

Question: Do you plan on making more icons like this? Like for Gmail, and certain apps, like a aldiko(or just called book reader) or Market, Camera, contacts or voicemail? If you made a icon pack like this im sure people would donate!
Just wondering Thanks!
looks grate on my phonee thanks for the idea.
One more thing newone757... Is there any way you could put these up as png? The jpeg compression kind of messes up the clean look going on here (on my phone at least). If so it would be much appreciated.
This is really awesome, just needed the icon sizes...I'll be going to make my own icons like this. Thanks for your inspiration and originality

I am thinking about donating already, but if you were to make more icons I would be obligated to donate for the hard work.
Once again, appreciate the work you've put into this. I fav'd this on DA.
Edit: PNG's would be nice as i'm noticing a lot of jpeg compression.

What do your other screens look like??
Could you please tell me what did you used for the icons?

Great setting~ it's inspired me. Thanks

[APP THEME] Ginger Green Handcent

Apparently, I was thinking of a different app. This one is free so apk included now, just install and fix the settings to your liking.
Since this is a paid app, I am only including the /res folders in this post.
1. use adb or droidexplorer to get your handcent .apk out of /data/app (adb pull /data/app/com.handcent.nextsms-1.apk)
2. merge this res folder with the one in your .apk through winrar/7zip/etc (be sure to use STORE method so it does not compress)
3. resign the apk through APKTool
4. push back to /data/app (adb push filename.apk /data/app)
5. adjust settings: Use Dark theme, Hero skin
Screenshots attached.
This theme is based off stock and some ideas taken from this thread.
I have modified many of the images in the conversation list, bubbles, and the widget to blend better with my current color scheme. This is my first theme/mod so let me know what you think. Comments/suggestions/requests welcome.

Sure, np . i pulled this out of an older ADW apk and just tinted it a bit green. For those wondering how i changed it :
1. longpress an empty area on your homescreen
2. Custom Shortcuts > Launcher Actions > Open/Close App Drawer
3. touch the icon in the upper left corner, then find where you saved this one.
4. drag the newly made shortcut down to your dockbar
To change the regular dock icons in ADW
1. Create the shortcut (longpress, create shortcut, applications, phone or whatever)
2. click on the icon (top left)
3. find new icon through gallery
4. drag the newly created icon wherever you want it in your dock
If you're wondering about the dockbar its from EspressoUI (Nest w/Slide) theme available for free through the ADW theme gallery.
EDIT: attached the icons as well in case you wanted those. If you have any requests for icons you would like in that style, let me know and ill do my best to make something that will suit your needs.

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.

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.
Packed with goodness using LauncherPro. I only need one screen.

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?

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.

No, thank you!
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
Awesome Wallpaper Czonin!
Launcher Pro FTW! I love that we can still use the stock scrollable widgets as well!
