I have the Droid, Android's just released 2.1, and I downloaded dxtop, which in itself seems to work fine.
However, when I install dxtop themes, they seem to download and install OK from the Market screens and the pulldown status bar, but when I go to install them they are nowhere to be found.
The documentation I have found, even by dxtop itself, is nebulous about (finding and) installing the themes.

All I really want is a black notification bar. I like the stock icons, I prefer the green color scheme to the blue that a lot of roms change it to. But really anything would be better than the stock white. Any themes out there that work with the new BB? The couple I've tried cause the phone to fail to boot (stuck at Motorola screen)
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen you download a theme it is XX.XMB. Does that amount get added on to the original ROM, or does it replace the information in the original ROM?The reason I ask is because I have always been curious as to if a theme in theory would slow down a ROM? I mean I know that even if it did it would be so miniscule that nobody would surely notice, but I'm curious just the same.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running the leaked 2.2, rooted, deodexed, themed and all that fun stuff. When the official 2.2 comes I plan on sbf'ing back to 2.1 to get that update since I am having a couple small issues with the leak. Questions are, since deodexing worked on the leak it should work the same way on the official right? to re-root, it sounds like people have been having luck using the droid 2 method in adb, so I should be able to run that to get root back? Themes for the leaked 2.2 should also work for the official 2.2 too? Or is this the same "we dont know till it actually comes" issue?
View 4 Replies View RelatedBasically, do you need to root your phone, to get apps to work? I've been reading around the net, and I've seen some things where it says that certain apps may require the phone to be rooted or what have you. Being an Android n00b, I have no idea what this means!. Also, is this the case for installing new themes? Does the phone have to be rooted for this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedProbably silly question but was wondering if we could apply any of the themes to the 2.2. leaked.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have searched for this but didn't really find a clear answer. I am running BB Froyo 0.4---can themes be installed over other themes? IE- can I install blue energy over Xtheme? Is there a way to revert back to the generic BB with no theme or do I need to restore a backup to accomplish this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having some serious indecision. I have a Moto Droid running 2.1. I have DxTop installed and love it However, I find that screens space is becoming a little cramped, and the expanding it to a 5 screen set up basically gets rid of the functionality that attracted me to DxTop in the first place (the quick navigation diamond shaped desk top set up).Yesterday I decided to test drive HelixLauncher2. I found the program to give me much of the functionality I had lost with DxTop, as my widget use increased. Instead of 5 screen ins a cross set up, now I have 7 screens side by side, but with a quick jump that allows me to go from one to any other in one move. Right off the bat I was able to organize my widgets and shortcuts in a way that made more sense. The program also added the really cool 2.1 app drawer from the Nexus 1, which I enjoy. The downside is that screen rotation doesn't seem as responsive as in DxTop (it works but has lag), the App drawer cannot be organized by categories (it's only alphabetical), and the program (though smaller an leaner) is not perfectly stable (It has already closed on me once, but when it crashes it just reverts back to itself).So my question is, should I stay with DxTop which is no longer as functional as I would like, but is far more stable and responsive, and allows me to organize my app drawer by categories; or should I go with HelixLauncher2, which is much more configurable, is easy to navigate, demands less of my system, but is also not as stable, lags a little, and does not allow me to organize my apps in the drawer.What I wouldn't give for a snappy and stable version of HelixLauncher2 with an option to organize the app drawer.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi've been using dxTop pretty much since i got my Droid, but it's starting to fall behind in aesthetics, performance, and features.the thing is the single-swipe access to each home screen is such a great feature i can't bring myself to use other home replacements. are there any other, better supported home replacements that replicate single-swipe access to at least 4 home screens? can sweeter home do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDXTOP crashed on me, I dont know why, because when I turned the phone off it was fine! However, it gives me a black screen when i turn the phone on and says "if your seeing this message DXTOP did not shut down gracefully" It also gives me the following 3 options:
1-Continue using DXTOP
2-Send diagnostic log and launch DXTOP
3-Launch default home interface
None of the 3 option will boot the phone up, they all go to an error message saying DXTOP stopped unexpectedly! I also tried removing the battery, sim and memory cards, plugging them back in and turning the phone off and I get the same problem.
There's nothing wrong with downloading the file of a paid app and installing it on your phone, right? Because I did that for a few.Also, what's everyone's opinion on Open Home vs. DxTop?

Title has textAppearanceMedium and subtitle has textAppearanceSmall. I want the style, MyTheme.Dark to have white color text and MyTheme.Light to have black color text. Is there a way to define multiple textAppearance attribute for the same TextView widget?

View 10 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to mix themes?
I used the 928 black glass theme because it included the deodex, but i didn't like how it looked. I later upgraded to nextheme, then revolution.
However, it seems there are still some remnants of 928 on my droid (e.g. the universal inbox still looks like 928 with the blue reload symbol).
I would like to get rid of that (go back to the stock universal inbox) and I would like to get the colorful icons for the settings list that was in Nextheme but not in Revolution.
I have about 300 hours of reading in and I am still sitting with a Droid X, 2.2 OTA and no root. I know how to root with rootmyx2 1-click method, not an issue. Was rooted before 2.2 and didn't want any leaked versions.
I have every tool that I would ever need. Root Explorer, Titanium BU, ROM Manager and Droid X Recovery Bootstrap.
But I can't get a straight answer for what ROM's I can install with the 2.2 OTA and which ones deodex for me. I know the 928DroidBlackGlassX-DroidX-OTA2315-DeOdexEERR-THEME will deodex for you but from what I read you have to have a ROM first. So confused.
I read FlyX has been put on the 2.2 w/out deodex and others say you need it first.
I'm just looking for the easiest step-by-step instructions to get set up for themes on a DX 2.2 Official 2.2 OTA.
I have never rooted before and I am about to give it a whirl. I am not worried about the consequences really, I feel pretty confident I can follow directions. My only issue is, after browsing these forums I am completely lost on what rom to use! I see some people saying beast and various other custom roms, then I see some saying "vanilla" Froyo is the way to go.
1) What rom SHOULD a first timer use?
2) Where do you find it?
3) What is the most newb friendly rom loader?
4) Can I use any of these custom themes I see with any custom rom or do I need the "vanilla"?
5) Does WiFi work in all of the Froyo roms now?
6) Are there a list of known issues with specific custom roms available or even "vanilla" froyo?
7) Will my purchased apps that are updated to work in 2.2 work?
I've replaced this thread with two threads run by eXtremeDX who does a much better job than me! Enjoy!

What has everyone found for the 2.1 roms. I know there is already a Themes thread but most of them are for 2.0.1, Im running BB v9 and a mix of Smokedglassframe 2.1 and Flavored Ice. Here is what I have found so far. Smoked Glass Frame. MM Smoked Glass Framework for 2.1 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum. Here is how you can go back to stock. ERE25 (2.1 "official rom) Stock theme and the Barfix is so you can see your clock. So you dont have to edit anything.
