What else can I do to my phone?

[anon81974]

Hey guys,

I have a BIG mental block right now and I wanna customize my phone more..maybe even add some apps to it. So, I have myns twopointtwo on my phone and I love it but I wanna maybe change it up a bit..like how it looks. Maybe a theme or change how the dialer and lock screens look, stuff like that. I have the gingerbread launcher and the clear notification bar so idk haha I just want to change some stuff on my phone. If you could recommend what else I can do to my phone (themes or not), maybe like install some apps that would require root or something, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

That's a great place to start. There's TONS of themes and what not to check out. You can literally spend hours browsing through that stuff lol. ust remember, do a Nandroid backup before you start messing around.

Perhaps you should look through screen shot sections of our forums, this will give you ideas of what you may like or what can be down.

haha awesome. I've been trolling there a lot lately. Getting some ideas for my theme I've been doing. You'll actually see my themed gingerbread keyboard there lol. There's a lot of good stuff on XDA an

Usually the OP is nice enough to tell you how to install them. I think some are flashable (just like how you flash a rom) and others are applied through metamorph and things of that nature.

You have to flash themes in recovery. Themes have to have metamorph within the theme.zip in order for it to be flashable.


The theme I'm working on is a blue/black theme. The top notification bar is black, the notification pulldown is transparent with a dark tint to it to make it looks almost like tinted glass, the dialer and keyboard have been changed to have black background with a blue "glow" effect when a key is tapped. The lockscreen is also slightly modified. Here's a few screenshots:

There's a lot of other changes. All together I've probably edited about 400 images lol. But ya that's just some of the changes. I've been working on it forever now. Hopefully this week I can finish up on enough changes to put up an initial release.

That's awesome! I wish i could do something like that haha. Keep up the awesome work man! I like the transparent notification bar and how the apps don't show names. It makes it look real clean haha I remember that wallpaper you have..it's from digitalblasphemy right?

Thanks! The icons with no names is actually an option on Launcher Pro. I think it makes it really clean too. I got the background from Flikie HD wallpapers. HANDS down the best wallpaper app I've used on Android, and trust me I've used them all lol. They're all very high res backgrounds.

Oh haha I've never used launcher pro but i remember that i tried it on cyanogenmod a while back haha. Thanks for sharing that app! I just downloaded some zip files from the xda forums but i forgot where I got them from :/ they were about 1700 wallpapers in total lol.
