Cool Theme For CHT and HTC HD2
The HD2 seems to be getting the full development power of XDA, because with all these great things coming out of there, I am not sure what is coming next. The theme was created by XDA member dena994, who managed to get a perfectly clean looking theme that includes everything to improve its look.The theme is a very simple blue(my favorite color) colored theme, with minimal design, simple slider, and clean clock, all in one.
The developer did not include any much specifics on this release, but from the looks of it, I do not need it. I will be installing this application/theme today when I return home, because with blue colors, and simplistic look… I am sold.
Ultimate Wallpaper Pack
When you get bored of the same old wallpapers your device comes with, finding the right look is like looking for me in on an iPhone forum. It seems XDA member santod040 got a chance to put together a new wallpaper WVGA pack, and you might ask what is special about these wallpapers? Ha-ha, well ill tell you. It has 15,000 wallpapers inside.
15,000 is a big number I know, but he has managed to get all these wallpapers in two RAR files. These wallpapers range from just about everything including cars, women, and even WP7. So if you have been looking for new a new feeling, and design on your device, this might be something you. I myself have already downloaded this, sent to my HD2, and loaded it on HDwabble, and of course will be donating for this guys hard work soon after I post this, because putting together 15K wallpapers aren’t that easy from what I know.
The Weirdest Lock Screen… And the Title Goes to: LCARS Star Trek style Lockscreen
When we usually speak of a lock screen, we are talking about something very simple like the WM6.5 lock screen, or even S2U2, but this one is not that simple. This new lock screen created by slackersink, who resides in the HD2 forum is a very peculiar one. It does not come with directions or instruction, but from the image it seems to have much information all in one place, but I am not quite sure where the unlock part is.
The lock screen to me looks like a map of my locale Mall of America(the biggest Mall in the world) except it has some good details like time, date, notifications, and more.
When you read the title it says it is suppose to be a Star Trek related lock, but for the life of me, I do not know what that is or plan to learn the nature of it(okay, I know what it is… but never watched it).
Thankfully the creator wrote a little note for us to know before using his new look screen:
GTX Revived By Dark Ninja
If you do not know… GTX was a theme created and maintained by my friend El condor and his team mate Kamill. However, they stopped working on the theme but luckily Dark Ninja has taken over and will continue working on the graphics. Him and his team of designers have taken it upon themselves to continue working on the design and from the new look, I think they have a lot more to come.
He had this to say:
As you all may know already, after the awsome work ElCondor and Kamill put to the theme further development was cancelled. Therefore i’m starting this new thread which will carry on development of GTX and help maintain the theme.
The GTX theme is originally made by ElCondor & Kamill.. Thanks for all their work they originally put in..
There is obviously a lot of work needed and i dont think anyone would be able to handle it on their own. Therefore we have put together a team for the later releases of the GTX theme.
Heres a few screenshots. 1st the GTX theme with a few differences. 2nd is the GTX theme with co0kies home tab.
This is still work in progress so it may differ from the end result.
(yeah i know there’s loads of screens Sorry :\ 0.o)
I am excited this theme will stay in production, it has very much to offer and with Dark Ninja working on it, we know it will be pushed to the max.

Windows Phones 7 Metro Theme V2
The world of Windows Phones changed when the 7 was added to the end, and it seems every graphic designer has been trying to replicate this change by bring the look and feel of “7” to “6.” This new theme was created by nickschot over at XDA, and why is it special? Well it comes with 3 different sections and more coming soon.
The bootscreen gives you the feeling of WP7S whenever you start your device.
The 6.5.X theme keeps that feeling going through your menus, and even through certain application.
The start menu mod changes the layout of the menu, and changes the background and selector color.
The titanium theme, dialer theme, and lockscreen theme will be available very soon, but for the time being I think we have enough WP7S feeling for now. I mean I will not personally install this on my device because I am not a huge fan of WP7S look and feel, but a lot of readers are, so hopefully you enjoy this.
QVGA Windows Mobile 6.5 Lockscreen Skin
Windows Mobile base is well known to be very unattractive, and a lot of development power is undergone
everyday to bring Windows Mobile into the attractive ages. Well those development is mostly for the newer WVGA devices but this one is specifically for QVGA.
This is a Livven special that goes with the recently canceled GTX skin done by a friend of mine El Condor. The Skin remakes GTX’s look and design, with the all white slider and clock, and the transparent outlining and calendar.
The theme does not come with much details except it will only work with QVGA, but if requested he will make it capable with other screen resolutions.
Note it’s not final, which means the notification sliders have not been skinned, but they’ll show up with the default look. Otherwise it should be working fine on 6.5.3, although I’m not sure with 6.5. Please provide feedback telling me if it’s working.
If you have been looking for a new look for your device, please go here and download this Livven special.
WP7S Theme for Throttle Launcher Available
Well guys it seems the WP7S takeover has already began, with themes coming from left and right, throttle launcher now has another. The theme that is well known for being highly customizable, and if its on the HD2, fast and smooth. This theme was created by an XDA member that goes by the name of Fireslave, who has managed to capture just about every aspect of Microsoft’s new mobile OS.
The theme has the main hub with all the blue boxes, big letters, app launcher, music player, and more.
I cannot say this is very interesting to me. I am not the biggest fan of the new UI, and the only reason I enjoy it is because of its great integration and centralized features, but if this theme is even half integrated… it would be pretty awesome.
