T-Mobile Shadow Custom LCARS UI Homescreen

[cutiepiev10]

omg...i drop this phone thousand times a day,,,,,

also where did you get the cover for the phone??

[FullMetalSasukel0v3r]

Also, by any chance would you know how to change the colour of the background of the start menu?

[FullMetalSasukel0v3r]

I may seem dumb but right now im using home screen builder and i cant seem to find where to save the file. Can anyone help me?

[6VodKa4209]

WOOHOO figured it out! the windows folder just holds the reinstall home screens i really needed to put them in the \Application Data\Home folder

[6VodKa4209]

for the love of god tell me how to get my home screens to work. i use home screen builder to make them and drop them in my windows folder but still nothing. even tried renaming them as files that are already there and then copying over them

[kadin27]

"I decided to change the fucker..." hahaha .. nice video man.

how about the battery life with that hack?

[minitstop]

I haven't noticed any difference. To be quite honest, I have never been satisfied with the batteries of every single cell phone I've had. I eventually decided to no longer give a shit and just plug it in when it needs it :p

[pohow]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[arcticdepth]

That's awesome! I didn't even know it could be customised until now, cool video; those homescreens sure do suck

[renews01]

u r so dumb,,, thats sad

[minitstop]

Now how are you going to call someone dumb when you just made yourself look like a total fucking douche bag idiot.?

You just used "u r" then proceeded to include THREE commas. You did you not capitalize anything and have forgotten (or are not aware of needing) the apostrophe in "that's".

What the hell is wrong with you? Are you on drugs or something? It is a no-brainer: You have an extremely low intelligence quotient.

You simpleton lol!

[PepperJimmy]

Rofl. Nice video btw.

[LuckyIncorporated]

you seem to entertain yourself so much. XD

[minitstop]

Heeey If i can't entertain myself first then how can I entertain anyone else?? :p Besides......i'm fuckin insane :D

[djyosnow]

i cant stop laughing...I've been through at&t the other GSM service provider YEAH GSM SERVICE SUCKS I got out of two contracts no early termination fee beacuse they suck so bad it's only ther fancy phones that might be keeping them alive...

~PLUR~ Peace Love Unity Respect

[minitstop]

I have had no problems with T-Mobile. I have had nothing but problems with ATT, Verizon, and Sprint, though and mostly due to their customer service :( I like the folks at T-mobile. They tell me "yeah our stuff is hella broken right now. we'll fix it!" At verizon it's like "MUST BE YOUR FAULT". lol.

[weemee33]

Thank you, you were right

great choices!

[minitstop]

You are most welcome! I do however have some advice if you're going to get one: Get more than one :p They are made to protect the phone so they will eventually fall apart :p Small price to pay if you ask me ^_^

[weemee33]

Ah are you serious?

Even if like, you don't drop it or such?

Thank you sir, for the advice!

[minitstop]

well it depends on the one you get. The one i currently have is rubberized so it drops well but my previous clear plastic one shattered. The phone however, was perfectly ok :)

[kingcoopj]

yeah whare did u get that case

[minitstop]

Got it from ebay. Super cheap. lots of choices.

[weemee33]

Could you tell me where you got that cover?

I really need one for my shadow

[minitstop]

I got it from ebay. It was like 7 bucks. They have tons of different kinds.

[kingcoopj]

thanks

[kingali400]

ohhh i now now go to comment voice then click announce messages then it well read your messages when people text you try it its realy nice

[stopfakn]

is the case hard or soft? Looks shiny. Nice vid. I'm a nerd too and very proud of it

[minitstop]

That particular case was a hard case. It was really cheap and you get what you pay for. It has since broken. I've gotten another hard case with a rubberized coating and after a few months, the coating is starting to rub away but that's it's job, to protect the phone :)

[kingcoopj]

nice toys

[kingali400]

yo how to make your shadow to read your text message you kno like some one send you a text and the phone read your text how you do that....?? please help

[minitstop]

I don't know if you can do that. I haven't found a way to do so. Sorry, mate.

[a7x123xrules]

dude ur awesome lol hey where did u get that cover at

[chaaampaign]

i have the sidekick lx, but hmm,

i dont know if i want this noww, ahh. lol.

the dude in the vid was amazing. hehe.

and btw the T in T-Mobile stands for Telecom

[mistaohareeoh]

how much for the cat? lmfao

[BigBoss124]

how do you do it.?

[xyperox]

you are sick hahaha

[roby209662]

HEY DOES THIS PHONE RECORD VIDEO ???

[BigBoss124]

yes.

[aeonjoey]

ummm, don't take this the wrong way but... I love you. lol robotech, LCARS, kitty, sense of humor, WTF!? stop being so desirable.

[aeonjoey]

sexy! wish my 8525 had bioneural gelpacks :( :P

[isamovskiy]

Where'd you get the plastic skin for it?

[minitstop]

It's a complete two piece cover. I now have a rubberized black one. You can get them via ebay and they're really cheap.....but you get what you pay for. I'd advise getting two at a time. You might also find these at those crappy cell phone kiosks. Good luck!

[SuperStreet04]

you can get one on amazon that cost like 10 bucks that comes with a plastic cover for the screen, belt clip, a screen cleaner fabric, and the cover

[minitstop]

Yo. Go and view your text messages in your inbox. Click Menu then Folders. In the folder list, make sure that the inbox is highlighted then click Menu then Clear Text Messages. You'll then have to delete the trash if you want them permanently gone.

[ilovehotmoms22]

THANKKKK YOUUUUU!!!!!! LOL sorry about that man, and yes i think the "T" in T-Mobile does stand for turd!

[ilovehotmoms22]

Hey dude, can you tell me how to delete ALL my fucking text on this bitch... cuz i can only delete one at a time and i have about 4000 of them to delete

[BigBoss124]

you have to go to nebu then folders then menu and clear all text messages.

[MrFine08]

so can you do a video showing the video recording quality

[minitstop]

Sure pal no problem. I'll send it to you later.

[MrFine08]

dude that shit was fuckin sweet... but can this phone record videos

[minitstop]

yeah it can but it's not going to be very good quality. I guess that's to be expected.

[Dennyxmonkey]

hey dude how did u custon ur home screen?

[minitstop]

I used a program called Homescreen Designer

[sarahsaidx3]

thats cool, i got mine yesterday for 118 at the t-mobile store!

ha im excited

[minitstop]

awesome! how'd you get that price?

[CG0R3]

ahaha that cat .

[luckyducky224]

canada, eh? haha nice video

[minitstop]

Canada? I'm not quite sure what you mean?

[wennie789456]

a how did you make that i got the same phone as you .... can you sand it to me or show me how

the Custom LCARS

[minitstop]

there's a program called HomeScreen Designer. Try it!

[APLACETOB]

I this phone is so cool! I just bought my new shadow from ebay tonight for $120! it is new! not used! I bought it because my sisters 27lb super fat cat jumped on the screen of my t-mobile dash just 2 nights ago, and cracked the screen, and I dont have any warranty for it. which sucks! hey minitstop, I think your nuts! and so am I! your not the only one! YATA!

[minitstop]

120 bucks?? Score!

[APLACETOB]

isnt that a great deal?

[minitstop]

yep!

[DTFxR03P0GN4RMY]

Dude LOL I love your enthusiamsim*

[coolness2121]

where did you get your clear cover for your shadow?

[minitstop]

ebay

[phatboimpl]

hwy is this fone cool buz i LOVE the fone but i wana to know if it koo and how do u put music on the shadow?!?!?!? p.s. wat wi-fi??

[thinkwik]

what did you do to create a new theme (lcars, test...) im tired of having to copy and pasting!!!! please help!

[minitstop]

haha me too. Read the conversation below. That should help :p Thanks for stopping by!

[thinkwik]

im sorry. i shouldve worded that better. once youve created the theme, where do you add the files in the phone so that it shows up as an actual selectable theme in the settings?

[minitstop]

Ahh I think I know what you're getting at. The program uploads it to the correct path however, make sure that from the very start, you name your theme something other than the default so it just doesn't keep overwriting itself everytime you upload something. The actual path is \Application Data\Home

[diplo88]

Wow! man wow. I seriously don't know how you created that theme. It is awesome I tell yah awesome. I tried doing some research on how to create a theme slightly different from yours but I came out empty handed.

I always came across with the standard theme customization but they are all the same just with different icons and colors. Maybe you can point me towards the right direction?

[minitstop]

there's a program you can use called Homescreen Designer. I just made the background in photoshop and used that program to put it all together. It's kind of a pain in the ass, though :p

[diplo88]

Oh wow. This program is not too shabby. Thanks for the help, I really needed it, was getting tired of the standard interface. Once again thank you.

[phatboimpl]

hey do watch videos on ur shadow

[minitstop]

No I can't say that I do. I know It's possible but it's just not my thing. sorry!

[phatboimpl]

na it koo lol p.s. u like u sounds effects lol i got mines 2 weeks ago and i love it

[00banky00]

you're pretty funny

"10 thousand minutes this bitch takes to reboot"

[minitstop]

=p that's what it feels like sometimes X_x

[Jadedmystery]

I like your review type thingie. o_o. It's so entertaining and much better than the weak ......spirits I've seen on here. Just like that Samsung Beat phone. I was looking at the review for that.....and the first thing that guy said....made me so uninterested in that damn device.....I searched for more.

That man said " Just like the go go's....I got the beat.......the samsung beat." And he said it in such a MONOTONE type of voice, I could have slit my wrist right then and there. lol

[minitstop]

hahaha. I know. That's why I just be myself when I do these silly things. People want to be interested and not bored to near-death :P. Thanks much!

[Jadedmystery]

Question: All of the applications on it, Do I have to download them? Or does it come with all of those features. Because I ordered one the same day I made a comment and So far from the reviews I feel like I'm not gonna be disappointed. Except for the fact that I have to buy a SD memory card to put music on that damn thing right?

[minitstop]

I am not quite sure what you mean? Which applications are you talking about? Yeah you'll have to get a card if you want to put a buttload of music but there is some space on the phone already to put stuff. I believe it's 256mb.

[Jadedmystery]

I was looking at your phone as you went through the applications like I.E. and all those other icons...and I was wondering are those applications already pre Installed on the phone. Or do I have to install them on my own? Or I can just say it like this, I don't want a phone that's butt ass naked on the screen with nothing but two applications on it. So, I just wanted to know if the menu was fully loaded with neat and cool applications besides camera and music.

[wootwoot911]

how the fuck do u do this i know u have it on the description but how do u like edit it and put it on ur phone and all dis shit. homie just give me the link where you learned how to not the webstie where u asked around

[minitstop]

Check it out. Try finding a program called Homescreen Designer. It's a little buggy but it will let you do this same stuff without having to know XML.

[wootwoot911]

aight thanx mann

[wootwoot911]

aight thanx mann

[yonasb]

you are crazy ahhah

but what kind of cover do you have on the shadow

[minitstop]

hehe. Might as well be crazy in this crazy world! I have a case I got from ebay. It was about 8 dollars. There's no actual name brand. Just search ebay for clear t-mobile shadow and you'll see it : ) Cheers!

[awadh1234567890]

nice would you trade your phone for another phone

[minitstop]

No I don't think so. Especially since my gf got it for me :p

[GRPRIXGT97]

hm well ya u need help lol..i had the shadow..um ya i thought it sucked..i really dont like the slider feel..also the shadow is very sloww..the interface seemed slower then my grandma lol..now im back to my dash witch i love..ohwell my t-mobile contract is up soon..me goto att and get the iphone...cant wait.....

[minitstop]

I already had 2 iphones. with it's 64mb of ram, it was much slower and I was shocked. I quickly sold it and used the money to get a new surfboard ;) Something I can actually use. Sorry :) You should wait for the next iphone. I like sliders. I also have a dash and i'm sorry your shadow was slow. You probably had a lemon or are inept. Btw, I got this shadow as well as my dash for free :) I'm not complaining. Thanks for your comment but it was pointless and not very thought out.

[meboz67]

whats better the shadow or dash?

[meboz67]

which is better shadow or dash?

[minitstop]

Ya know I like both however, the shadow has oodles more RAM than the Dash and that's important to me. For most people it will not be.

[meboz67]

what RAM

[minitstop]

? The amount of ram that every phone has.  Go to phonescoop[dot]com and check them out.

[rickjhunter]

lol this prix guy needs help

[dipsetking4]

haha cool theme bro

[minitstop]

right on : )

[lovinitall3308]

hey i hav a question, i really like the case you hav on your shadow, i was wondering where you got it from and if it protects the screen 2? thanxs. lmao luv your cat shes 2 cute!

[minitstop]

I got it from Ebay. Just search for t-mobile shadow case. It was really cheap. It does not protect the screen but I believe there are ones that do. I use this case in addition to the leather one that came with the phone. Thanks for the comment and yeah, she's adorable huh! Until she decides the scratch the shit outta me! Yet again :p

[minitstop]

got it from ebay. real cheap too!

[arni0202]

you are strange.  great video! haha the T does stand for turds

[Swayzee68]

Very nice -- and I totally get your frustration with a phone you like; I like mine, too but can't stand the home screens. But feel sorry for the rest of us because at least you can fix it. Yes, you are cooler than me.

[minitstop]

Please do not think that you can't do it. I had to learn how just like everyone else that can do it. There are also pre-made homescreens that you can upload. Check out the more info and check out those links. There are forums there that can either help you fix up your phone to help you get a pre-made homescreen to upload to your phone. Good luck!

[forgotusername1234]

dude your freakin awesome i have the shadow and it takes literally 5 fuckin minutes to turn on its complete bull! but its a great phone ive had mine since Halloween and im lovin it. have you downloaded the flash video bundle if not you should!!!!youtube on the shadow!!!!!

[DGKboii]
