Alright idk if this is allowed or not... (if not please lock/delete)
I am currently using phenox 2. but seems to lag sometimes
I am looking for a rom which is best for me. I text ALOT (using hard keyboard and soft keyboard) the soft keyboard i want to use T9 (phone keypad) but it doesnt work on phenox 2 thats why im looking for a different rom. I use it to make phone calls, surf the web, check emails, calender to keep track of my stuff... <<< these are the main things i do every day. so im looking for a ROM which best fits my needs and want to see what everyones opinion is...
I would also like to adjust the vibrate because it vibrates for too long right now which is loud on when its on the table (so i have to always put it on silent)...
I like the fact my weather/calender events is on the main today screen...
so reading from what i like to do with my phone, what is everyones opinion on which ROM would work the best for me?
thanks
Honestly... You and about a hundred others have asked various questions about ROMs. You will not get a real answer here about what you have asked. If you dont have time to test the ROMs... stick with the stock ROM. I use the stock 6.1 ROM and Im very happy with it. I tried 6.5 and hated it.
Im not trying to be a jerk about it... sorry if it comes off that way, but I would hate for you to waste time being hopeful that someone will help with ROM selection.
yeah i know what you mean... I'm actually thinking about maybe going back to 6.1... but maybe a custom 6.1 rom.
know where i can find the stock t-mo 6.1 rom?

thanks, but the only problem with 6.1 is that it didnt have weather displayed on home screen...
To OP: only u can decide which ROM suits u best. thread closed.
Hi all,
I'm looking at some vanilla Roms right now, as I'm sick of all the HTC crap But I really can't stand the Vanilla default rounded-white-awfull style and love the blak HTC's one. I've looked over the internet but I only find some framework-res.apk that would replace the notification bar. ANd I would like to replace all the look of vanilla (included radio buttons, checkboxes etc)
So here I come with this idea. Taking the framework-res.apk of an htc rom, let's say VillainRom for e.g (if they don't see any drawbacks in that) and replace a lots of stuff in a vanilla one, e.g ezHero, as this is the one I'm looking at.
Now, knowing the fact that I've never done some Rom customizing before, is this a quite easy task... I mean, some png are different in size, would this be a problem ? Do I have to do something else appart from zip align, re sign etc ?
Cheers,
LTourist
PS : and don't answer me "if you don't know that, you shouldn't do it" because the one who do must have started somewhere before becoming a rom expert
you should take a look at SuperHero from the VillainROM guys.
almost exactly what you describe.

Why don't you try it & see?
This should help: http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-pulse-pulse-modaco-com/302404/ande-android-design-editor/
If you need any help I will be glad to help.
I was on SuperHero 1.1 once upon a time... but since the version 2, I don't want to go on it again... This version is, imo, just villain without sense home... which i already have on my villainROM... Moreover, there is still so many htc crap under SuperHero, like sms, clock etc...
I will have a look at the soft you're pointing to me 42turkeys, looks promising
How about: Take a great Cyanmod base (VanillaEclair because of its awesome power saving kernels and CM 5.0.7, or the straight 5.0.8 port) - and try theming with a CM theme? Problem with having Sense frameworks is that of space - and memory usage. They will always run in b/g
Scratch that - Just tried this and hung on loading screen.
Same here, but with the framework-res.apk modification that 42turkeys gave me. I started from ezHero...
I totally agree, sense framework is hell, that's why I would really like to have the best of the two world. And a vanilla rom fits in 60MB whereas SuperHero take more than 100MB... for absolutly useless app's and features... Vanilla with CM and "sense" look would be awesome!!!
Didn't know about the CM theme, i look at it tomorrow, it's too late now, off time
Good luck! If you need any help just ask and I can test stuff for you as I'm running EZHero too.
I assume "theming" CM is actually using Metamorph, right ?
Well, I'll try to learn how to do it this evening. Just in the mean time, I give a try at superhero again, just to be sure I don't wan't any crappy sense stuff, and I'm now fully convinced... SuperHero crashed this morning by waking me up as the htc clock was ringing but without htc's lockscreen...
VillainRom team has made an incredible work since a while, but this release of SuperHero is just a joke to me... (sorry for those who worked hard on it )
EzHero/Sense look, I'm coming
Well, I can't manage it...
Can't do metamorph because it seems dead and the only reliable informations I could find was videos made by stericsson... Which is not helpfull regarding the xml file tags and others specification used by metamorph...
I managed to boot with a modified framework-res.apk but android is crashing just after boot up... I tried to pushing the original apk but I got the same errors since then... So maybe it's not my apk which is bad but just the method I'm copying it : the brute force !!! (adb push ^^)
Does it gonna work if I'm making an update.zip ?
If somebody could just point me where to start, I'll be gratefull

Probably the theme section of the forums as this really isn't development related...
Yep, I agree. I saw my mistake after my first post... But it was to late Maybe some moderator could move the thread in that forum to avoid duplicated thread
I have the latest Fresh ROM installed along with the vanilla lock screen and love it. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to install the vanilla slide to answer. I'm not a huge fan of the sense one where you drag the bar down or up. Thanks!
I don't think so, at least I haven't seen one. It might be possible but its probably too integrated into Sense.
Make a request at flipz's website, maybe he or another dev will take it on.
Hi
First off, sorry if this is in the wrong place or whatever.
I'm looking for themes for LeeDroid 2.1, I thought that this would be a good place to put them all here. Specifically I'm looking for a straight up espresso bar mod, and I'm interested what else works with LeeDroid
Me too
+1 for this request
Are there any known working themes, because the ugly white ico of gmail and sms's is just too ugly...
Thanks for helping us ;-)
themes made for the official htc froyo update will work with leedroid, have you tried making your own , using the dr droid online kitchen?
I have indeed had a look at the excellent Dr Droid kitchen, it's not quite what I'm looking for, but indeed nice. I'm not too fussed with changing Sense's icons, especially since the OTA recently added some colour.
What I would like to do however, is get the espressobar and some other Launcher type theming, that still enable the full use of Sense's widgets, my Clock and News widgets are going NOWHERE thanks.
Trouble that I've found with the espressobar is that I can't find a solid straight up version for 2.2, correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I can't see it.

Hi, i am currently mixing this 2 gorgeous themes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736987

Im not exactly sure what you mean by straight up espresso bar but theres a thread for it at here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705967&highlight=MOD+espresso
Hope this helps!
I forgot to mention theres a minimalist bar as well from the simplism theme
Those two themes would go nice together for sure, the whole custom icon for each app is good, but it does take a lot of work, besides I adore Sense's icons.
Yeah, I've studied the thread you linked before, that's what I want, just EspressoMod, for both home and lock/call screens, butit's for 2.1 as far as I can tell.
And why adb? What's wrong with an Update.zip
I'd be happy to test your theme once complete, as long as there are no reboot loops lol! I LOATH reboot loops! Give me an e-mail when it's done or just for whatever! Should be in my profile.

Hi there,
I didnt realise it was a 2.1 but if you read all the way back, they ported it for 2.2 already and packed as a zip. Should work on the latest leedroid 2.1 as well since all my theme files I used is from all the way back since 1.6

As usual, do a Nandroid backup before applying anything.
HI guys, sorry for this, ive been looking everywhere to find an anser but i think its so simple no ones asked it....im kinda new but these guides are awesome, rooted the phone and for the first time im trying different custom ROMS, so far ive only done the ARHD and now the leedroid v4 beta 3.0 sense...
i can see the difference between roms but guys for some reason someof the features that they say are with sense 3.0 arent there, how can u get a scrolling home screen like in the sensation, if u scroll fast enough you can see your homescreens scrolling round and round....when i downloaded the ARHD rom latest one 6.3.1 i couldnt do it in that either, youtube videos show the eather lock screen being awesome when the lcd is sitched on, the weather occupies the whole screen but mine just comes up as a widget cloud thing when the screen is turned on....so i though may be this rom doesnt support that, then i tried leedroid but that doest have the scrolling feature nor does the weather lockscreen occupy the whole lcd, it comes up as a widget again, in a small black box..
am i missing something, are these addons or something, could some one please help, ould really appreciate it....oh i was going to try the leedroid hd version 3.3.3 but noticed lee talking about two kernals, couldnt find any information on what these kernals do....
and since im here could someone explain to me what the rosie scroll 3d addon is, as in what it does, couldnt find any information on that too...
sorry for being a pain but ive been searching but cant find a definitive answer, hopefully someone can help....
ok some solved
ok thanks guys, just been experimenting, figured out that if u need the scroll u need to get the 3d rosie scroll add on, the only thing now left is how to get the weather lock screen working, its still coming up as a widget rather than a whole screen when the screen s turned on....if anyone could help, would be great...
although..
noticed that even though i had the rosir scroll its still not the same as the rosie scroll on the Leedroid, u can actually rotate the screens 360 as fast as u can but this is limited on the ARHD....could anyone confirm or have i got the wrong add on, theres a rosie 3d super and theres an ultra...ill try both to see, but weather lockscreen still not orking as it should from what ve heard...

Yes, you are right and what ever you have got is correct. ARHD rosie scroll doesn't rotate 360 degrees once you flick your finger. I think it is more sense 3.5 feature, I am not sure about it. ARHD 6.3.1 is based on official HTC RUU with HTC sense 3.0 and is very close to stock HTC ROM. Also you can try super smooth, ultra smooth rosie from HAMDIR. For weather lockscreen did you try changing from Personalization->Lock screen?
if it is not working, I would suggest you to first take Nandroid backup, clear everything using superwipe and Flash ARHD 6.3.1. All the best.
hey thanks
hey thanks kaydee, i have to admit, very much impressed by the ARHD, all night phone has been on with ifi enabled and the battery is still in its 90 percent...shocking actually...
Anyways i have tried what you have told me twice but for some reasoon the weather is still appearing as a widget when the screen turns on, very strange, surprised i cant seem to find anyone with the exat same problem, may be i havent searched right...
if anyone could help, ould be appreciated, thanks again
Help
oh boy 150 views but only one reply, think im the only one here with this problem, think its best to post this in the ARHD forum but i cant since my posts are less than 10...
does anyone have any idea if theres a way to uninstall the lockscreen apps and then try to install them again...
may be that will work, my guess is something is clashing, thats why the weather lock screen appears as a widget when screen is turned on rather than occupying the whole screen...
Shockingly unblievable
OMG i feel like jumping off the roof...after relentless searching and multiple reboots, guess wat i found...
the weather lockscreen wasnt working because in order for it too work, i had to make sure in the locations menu, the use wifi was checked...and waala it works, just plain stupid frankly, my fault really...
anyways those of whom end up with this sorta problem, remember its not the new custom rom uve just flashed but in some cases as simple as checking something...anyways if this doesnt work
Make sure background data and sync are checked at the top in the sync menu under settings. Then scroll down and make sure you have weather set to sync automatically.
should work, thanks to one guy whom helped lol...and thanks to countless others around the web...
Good to see that you finally got it. Happy Flashing
