One thing i hate about the Sense look is the application bar (the thing at the bottom of the screen with buttons. haha dont know the correct name)
I am currently running Sense 2.2 so i was wondering would it be possible to edit the HTC Rosie.apk so it looks like the Android or maybe LauncherPro bar?
Reason i ask is if i use launcherpro, i can no longer use the sense widgets... so my thinking was, edit this to make it look better.
Any help would be appreciated, ive started looking at this myself (decompiled the rosie.apk) but im not exactly a pro programmer
I 'm actually interested in this too.
Anyone?

Okay, this may or may not be in the correct forum, but it's a question. I think the icons are horribly ugly, especially the camera. I know it's not quite rooted yet and it's not super high up on everyone's list, but would anyone be able to help me out with getting better looking stock Android 2.1 icons on there or maybe make an icon pack that replaces the ones on there with 2.1 stock icons? Thanks in advance.

BetterCut?
I tried Better Cut with mine and the stock 2.0 icon pack. The icons are low res and look kind of bad on the large Evo screen.
With the size of the Evo screen you will really want to get More Icons. Trust me on this, it is perfect for this phone.
I've never heard of BetterCut, but it seems like it won't work. My girlfriend has a Nexus and those icons are very classy and would work very well with the Evo, I think. And I just want to replace them completely, not have extra.
Hey! Just flashed back to SkyRaider after giving the Desire Z ROM a go, and one little thing I really liked about it was the icon for 3G and 1X in the notification bar. Any way to put that into a standard Sense rom? Thanks!
The icons should be in framework-res.apk like they are in everything else.
I'll take a look and see what i can do.
EDIT: These particular icons are hiding in com.htc.resources.apk
This is my first MetaMorph theme, but it looks like it should work. Use at your own risk though. If anyone more experienced would like to tell me if this is right or not, I'd appreciate it.
anyone have a screenshot of what they look like
They're actually the stock Android icons. I don't know why, but HTC decided to stop using their custom ones.

Haha so they are! Can't believe I didn't notice that before.
Hey guys. So I'm running Kings Unleashed R5 w/ Gravity On Ice theme and couldn't be happier with it. I'm kinda new to theming so I apologize for the noob question. I found and downloaded an icon pack for GOI which had about 10 in it. What I'm trying to find out is does this mean that's all I can use? Are widgets from other Sense roms compatible. I can't find it now but there was a Pandora 4x1 clear widget that I really liked. I've searched the forums only to turn up nothing. Anybody can help I'd really appreciate it.
If thats all the icons that it had in it, then yes. That said you can use any icons you want depending on how you want to install them, ie via root explorer by swapping the .png files, pushing them or via your launcher if you use adw or lp. Im very new to this so I'm not sure on the sense widgets. I would think that so long as they arent for a version of sense that's newer than the one on your rom you would be fine, but please verify before trying as I dont use sense often (waiting for virus to finish fixing his kingdom port). Oh and no idea on that widget sounds sweet I like clear backgrounds. Hope this helps
I want to find the little semi transparent oval that surrounds an app name when it's place on a homescreen and get rid of it, but I can't find the png file. I assume it's in either framework-res.apk or com.htc.resourses.apk...can anybody tell me what it's called, or if I'm looking in the wrong place? and when I find it, can I just delete it or do I need to replace it with a transparent icon?
thanks
If you're talking about the bubble it's in Rosie, but it's in xml, not a PNG.

ah.. so when I find it, do I just set the value to 0 to make it go away?
whoa, never mind. looks like android xml is beyond me. I guess I'll just live with it. thanks for the help though
What rom are you on?

I'm on kings unleashed r3. I was using virus' kingdom port for the last 2 weeks and I really liked the look of the homescreen icons. I was hoping to learn something new and fix it myself, but I gave up right around the time I saw the words hex/decompile/recomplile-or-it-won't-work...

Sense 4 is alright as it is. However, I'd like to figure out a way to skin the current dock bar. Does anyone have a n00b guide out there?
I don't want to replace the Sense Launcher with Nova or Apex, since that'll basically disabled Sense widgets which is not a big deal but since a lot of other elements will remained skinned (in Sense) it would look worse to combine Sense with the AOSP-look
So in short, I want to be able to skin the current dock bar oh and also, does anyone know to replace the icons quick and easy? or are we looking at decompiling the framework-res.apk files and hack away?
Thanks!
