[Home Replacement App] Sweeter Home public Beta is out!!

Does anyone know what the developer(s) is using to test this (i.e. ROM version). I want to know if he's already running 2.1 or still on 2.0. I'm at the point were if the upcoming update is going to break this I'd rather stop wasting my time with it. If the update isn't going to effect it than I'll probably keep it.
 
Android MyMobiler

I'm going to post this elsewhere but until I figure out where, does anyone know if there is something similar to what WM phone users have with MyMobiler? Basically it's a program that lets you see and control your phone from your PC. Would be GREAT and sure would make editing these themes easier.
 
As far as I know the dev us using a droid. So it is probably 2.01 but since the 2.1 sdk is out now I think he's looking into it.
 
I am having a lot if FC's (a lot)
The theme has multi screens with Custom, Tagged, and System,trays so there is a lot going on
I get FC's every 30 or so....

Any direction, what is going on, where to look, anyone can offer me?

Thanks
Does the theme use images? Sometimes that can overload the phone if the images aren't optimize. If not the only other reason I have is that it's Beta lol...


No no images on this theme.
It crashes every few minutes and then when it powers back on it fc's again.

I tried to backup the theme to my SD card but it says there an error and cant.

What could that be???

Thanks

Sounds like a conflict somewhere. Can you attempt the SD save, and if it fails and gives you an error message then back out of edit mode, and hit Menu, Report Bug.

What theme is it? I can try it out to see if it's the theme or your phone.

Wow, just wow. So much customizing to do. Spent like 3 hrs playing with this last night.

Uploaded mine under SmartandSimpleDroid. I've got the main screen with 4 springboards on it, and the left with 7 all done. Working on filling the rest, will keep updating online version.

Few things I've noticed:

-If you try to scroll up or down on one of the left/right screens, strange things happen. I have to hit BACK to get out of the blank screen.

-Texs from last night and FML widget (basically RSS feeds, from same dev) are not working, even after configure.

One question:
-How do you replace your springboard image with an icon?

Things I love:
- Fully customizable
- Not being stuck to grids (can put icons anywhere)
- Being able to change the setup for portrait and landscape
- Online theme repository
- Sheer magnitude of possibilities

Make the springboard completely transparent (take the alpha slider all the way to the left). The put the picture you want underneath it. Make sure the springboard is on a higher level than the picture.

Yes, this is more addictive than any game I've found. :)
 
@ice: thanks... I quickly realized this is what people were doing. Looks like I'm gonna have to get photoshop installed on my server.

I was mainly using the layers to organize the springboard screens (ie: widgets I put on each screen were all on one layer, and I incremented the layer +1 on each screen to make organizing them simpler), but now I can see how they can be used to really put some depth into things. I'm gonna get my simple theme running good on both portrait and landscape, then start really messing around with some advanced features with images and layering.

Anyone know what's up with the {Action -- Advanced} block you can add?
 
Tried it and dislike it. Home++ is what I will continue to use until 2.1 and hopefully there will be an improvment there. Only if I could hide the taskbar and have that little power widget on the bottom without having to use a Home replacement app all together.
 
my biggest problem with is that i have everything set up just right and then all of a suddon my icons get really really small!?! then when i try and go in and make them big again they come in very blurry and you cant even tell what they are... andyone know a fix for this??

Unfortunately i think it's a known bug and is being worked on for the next update. Sometimes it goes away if you stop SH and restart it up again. Otherwise I sometimes end up having to remove all the icons and re-add them again.
