[WIP/PREVIEW] iOne Theme: Only One Page Required

[dharris]

All,

See the theme I am working on below called iOne (cause all you need is one page). Would love some input, suggestions, and genera thoughts.

My concept is this. I have used many of these themes with categories (inavs) and generic skinning themes but my biggest problem always is managing the screen swipes or in the case of categories, screen swipes and newpages to take you to different apps. There is certainly alot of eye candy potential in them but I prefer usability and simplicity. I wanted to build a theme that was just one page but also very functional. Well with the release of Stacks v3 alpha 2, I am able to accomplish this with multiple stacks. The beauty of stacks is its fast and doesnt take you away from the main page. It also scrolls beautifully and even will retain any icon changes you make for the apps.

See my screenshots below. I have clearly taken elements from the various HTC threads and am using a common weather widget.

It works simply. The phone booth is my phone icon. The message, twitter and mail icons are obvious. On the weather widget, clicking on the icon launches the weather channel. On the calendar, clicking it launches my calendar. Clicking on each stack on the right, opens that stack with all the respective apps for that category.

Again, input is appreciated.

UPDATE2: SHARING YOUR CUSTOM IONE THEME MODS WITH THE COMMUNITY

There have been a few people creating mods of this theme and users asking for them. Given this, I though it made sense to provide a shared place for modders to upload their custom themes so users could find them. Please see the following instructions for how to share your custom mods for this theme:

1) Go to the following url: https://secure.filesanywhere.com/Dro...8f5866a1a9a566
2) Enter password "modmyi" (without the quotes)
3) IMPORTANT: You will be asked to enter your name in Step 1. You should enter your modmyi username so users can find you easily. This will also create a folder for your mod where you will store your modded iOne theme. This type of access provides upload capabilities only. For example, i would create a user name of dharris.
4) IMPORTANT: In Step2, you will upload your files using the uploader. PLEASE ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING PROCESS. You should upload your theme as ONE zip file with the following naming conventions: iOne_"your user name". Inside this ZIP folder, please include whatever theme files are necessary for your mod - ie a main theme and possibly a separate weather widget/theme. Name these with the same naming convention as your zip so iOne_"your user name".theme and iOneWeather_"your user name".theme. Feel free to also include whatever other files you deem appropriate. IMPORTANT. In addition to your Zip file, please include a jpeg or png of your theme so people can see it before they download. The site allows you to preview files before downloading. Thus, if i was a modder named iModder I would enter user name iModder in Step 1 and then in Step 2 i would upload iOne_iModder.zip and SampleiModderWallpaper.png.
5) You can continue to upload additional files to your iOne mod theme simply by clicking on the upload link and entering your user name again in Step 1. All files uploaded will go into your folder. You can also update files simply by uploading the same file again. So if I made changes to the iOne_iModder.zip file contents, i simply upload the file again and it will overwrite it.

UPDATE: THEME AVAILABLE

Below, find the link for downloading both my original iOne theme as well as some of my mods and mods of other users. Each mod will have its own folder in which you will find a preview of the modded theme and the necessary files to download to make the theme work. PLEASE NOTE I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THEME MODS. THIS IS SIMPLY PROVIDED AS A CONVENIENCE FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN MODS OF THIS THEME.

Please follow the instructions in my original theme carefully, regardless of which user mod you download. Read the iOne setup instructions first, followed by the Stacks install instructions. Unlike some other themes, its important to read these instructions because of how and when to install stacks.

Theme requires:
From Cydia
SBSettings (you should have anyway but specifically for hiding the apps once they are stacked)
sbsettingstoggles
iBlank
FiveColumn Springboard
FiveIrows
Blanknull

Not found in Cydia
Stacks v3 alpha 2

NOTE: Once you have installed everything and added all your apps to the appropriate Stacks, you will want to hide all the stacked icons in the SBSsettings.

Hey man you're theme is amazing!
Personnaly I use this onepagetheme :
Congratulation for your work !!

[dharris]

Very nice! You make great use of space. I like the widgets on the bottom since they are wallpaper based and then you have all the "dock" apps. Gives me some new ideas. Thanks!

[Zooropalg]

In the theme there is a overlay.png file
And I hide with an invisible icon STACKS in the calendar

[ragarfield]

Like your color scheme alot. Its awesome.

I think you could do more with the phone/computer icon.

Love the stack icons. Possibly different backgrounds as well to spice it up although the white looks slick.

[PhanaticD]

this loooks pretty. a little random though

[ultramagy]

i like it, but wouldnt a phone icon make more sense than a computer.

[CodyAgentBanks]

This is awesome! When is it going to be done and available in cydia? I'm ready to download it!

Which theme is that one?

[Doorstopdima]

what theme is this i really like it and would like to get it for my ipod

[The Spirit]

really cool theme.
when will you release it and where to get the specific stacks version?
thx

edit: i installed just the new stacks alpha. is there any option to get only 3 stacks instead of 4?

[iLuka]

Great theme man!

When is the relase date?

[mlke]

Awesome. I want a good one page theme.

The only thing that stands out is the phone icon being a computer.
Why not stick with a nice phone icon?

[SkyGuy5]

Great layout.

I like the white and blue...simple but classy.

[Scripto]

Where to download?

[whoadie]

Awesome theme! I think change the phone/computer, to a cool phone image. And release it. I didn't plan on changin my theme for a while. But I will for this.

[dharris]

Thanks for the input to date. I got rid of the computer icon and replaced it with a phone booth to more suit the phone app. I like using something big and iconic here as opposed to just a simple phone icon. I also added an icon for your twitter app to the message center section (i use echofon).

See UPDATED first post with new screenshot.

So I am happy to post but i have a few questions. What is customary regarding other people's work that you use in your theme? For example I took the base clock and weather code from someone else but modified it to fit this theme. Is it ok to include them?

I would love to see some others mods on this theme. I like the concept alot and I am sure it can be refined much more.

When i get answers to the above, I am happy to post the files and instructions here.

Love the updated screenshot.

Can't wait to download .........

Most of the time as long as you give thanks or acknowledge the actual creator they're pretty cool bout it. So it's ready you're just waiting for they're approval? They'll be tryin to copy your theme once you post your download link.

One last request, could you make a facebook icon for me instead of Twitter? If not that's ok.
