[Q] Where Does HTC Hub Store Skins? - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

Where does the HTC Hub app store downloaded Sense Skins (like Music Lover and such)? I've been all across the internet, XDA, etc, as well as Root Explorer-ing the hell out of the root folders.
Anyone know exactly where it stores these files?

If you download,you can find at /data/app.
Skins are apk`s as far as I know!

is there any reason why they arent releasing any more? Are there any new ones around here?

@Ganil, thanks bro! I found them with your help!
@blunted09, the reason I was asking where the skins were was because a buddy of mine and I have been collaborating for about 6 years now in Photoshop projects. These range from websites, to signatures, and even state competitions. The problem before, we couldn't find a ROM that we liked enough to actually release public themes for.
We both have the Droid Incredible, but we will be developing our themes through the HTC Hub so that they are easily installable, backwards compatible, and have a quality not seen before on XDA. Now that we've got the skins from the /data/app/ folder, work get begin. Get ready for some new themes!

No problem bro

A few days ago on HTCSense.com they had a "Memories" skin (orange looking one) but it would not download or show up in the HTC Hub on my phone, HTC said it should work but usual rubbish from the customer service team.
Did anyone else see it/download it. If possible would you be able to share it.
Cheers

Cheers for the quick reply.

Just got my TP2, some questions

Hey guys i just got my tp2 today after being a blackberry user on verizon for the past few years. I got the chance to trade my storm 2 for the TP2 and took it as i love trying new phones out. However, i do have a few questions as this thing is pretty complex in comparison to my Storm2.
1. I know you can download themes and what not here on the TP2 much like you can on a blackberry and i saw one earlier today i would love to give a shot as it looks like everything i am looking for. HOWEVER, how do i go about doing something like that on this phone? Can i do it OTA like i did on the storm? Most of the issues lie in the fact that I am a mac user and do not have access to a Windows computer.
2. Are there any known problems you guys are having with the phones that i should keep an eye out for?
Any help or insight would be much appreciated and i look forward to sticking around for a while. I have wanted to try an HTC phone out for a while!!
Thanks in advance
For one, although it is no big deal in this post since this post is very general, we are a CDMA device and our main forums are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
1) Oh wow, you asked just about the second most complex question. WM has about one bajillion themes that you can use, each theme with their own unique features. Manila (Sense/TF3D/Manila), SPB Mobile Shell, Infinity by Ageye, iPhoneToday, the list goes on and on! What you like will be personal preference...my best suggestion would be give it a try and see if you like it. Here is a useful post with HUNDREDS of apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
2) You should install SSK Dynamic proxy and NoPushInternet to help improve performance. At0mAngD3D driver might be of use as well.
Best of luck with your new phone!
Thanks for the quick reply. My older brother told me to check out the SPB Mobile Shell i believe it was as he said there is sliding pages and what not much like the MyTouch or other HTC phones so i will def check those out. Can i download them OTA? That is going to be the biggest thing for me. I need to learn A LOT about this phone.
PS: It's nice to see another snowboarder in here. I manage a snowboard shop myself

Microsoft Marketplace will have the *majority* of apps you can find online available to download OTA. I do not believe it will automatically update the apps though (there are some 3rd party softwares that do).
SPB Mobile Shell is one of the most customizable UI's that we have. There are a ton of great widgets and themes for mobile shell as well, so there is no limit to what you can do (my favorite theme for SPB MS is the Mobile Sense Espresso)
BTW, very cool about the shop!! Where are you guys located?
We are located in Rochester, NY "The Ski Company" is the name of the store. Where can i get the Microsoft Marketplace?
Also, how do i go about downloading a new theme? I'm so lost with this phone
Edit: I really really like the look of that theme, as well. How do i get it? lol
Edit2: If i get a new theme (say i get that theme linked above) will i still get the weather that moves across my page and everything every so often? That is a feature i really enjoy with this phone.

Microsoft Market should be located in your start menu somewhere.
I find that there are more free apps online so I tend not to use marketplace that much. I download the .cab, copy it to my SD card and then use a file explorer to browse to/install the file. Google is usually good for me, I just search along the following lines "site:forum.xda-developers.com My Search terms". here is my example:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source...=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=908f344da1ea5ce4
That specific theme, SPB MS, is actually download-able from the marketplace, a demo version as well. Disable Sense UI (Start > settings > today .. browse to the item tab and uncheck HTC sense) and install SPB MS. After SPB MS is installed download the espresso theme and install that as well. With SPB MS you do not get the animated weather unfortunately, thats one of the benefits of the Manila UI.

Lcars System for Samsung Galaxy S is now avalible for Sweeterhome2 Beta

I been searching all over the web for a decent LCARS PADD skin for android
well got tired of looking decided to go ahead and make one for myself
This is my first Attempt at making a functional Lcars system
lot of hours went into searching and interface design simple to use
pain to design anyways let me know what you guys think this version is the first and is subject to change
download sweeterhome beta 2 first
and choose theme
then search for
greytrek_Galaxy_s_edition
UPDATE
Hey guys been getting questions about lcars system in color well currently I am working on just that!
Something minimalistic at the same time very efficient as far as functionality and theme wise will be posting
screenshots later today
Keyword Trek it will pull up everything startrek on sweeter home im not the only lcars designer
discontiued
hey guys im going to go ahead and stop providing support on my lcars theme i put alot of time into designing a theme that functioned and looked good aswell
but support for my work was pretty much none so unfortunately that is my de-motivator anyways best of luck guys
thanks to those who downloaded and tried it but this is me bidding adieu
very cool. is this compatible with Froyo?
I was about to say, "is it supposed to like some star trek console or something?", then I saw greytrek...lol.
Looks too cluttered.
yeah that was the first make of it i put control buttons to hid and minimize everything aswell so the clutter issue should be alot less noticeable and i believe sweeterhome should be froyo compatible
i like the Trek series, but that is going a bit over board
i'll definitely keep it on hand, for Hallowing and Costplay parties
nah i reckon it's an awesome effort into making a LCARS, wanted something like this since i was a kid. good work and thanks a lot!
i look forward future revisions!
it will be revised quite a bit its still in alpha status
Would you consider a colour version my friend.
Looks great.
My wife would kill me if I put this on her Galaxay but do it for a Desire and its a done deal. lol
Hey guys here is my colored Theme
i would need to have a device with the screen size to make it work
Simply lovely. Thanks.

just download a rom with the htcalbum.apk that you want to use, and push it to /system/app using adb
You know what, as much as I really & truly appreciate your quick reply AndroHero, you know when the teacher speaks to Charlie Brown in the cartoons, that's how I heard your advice . I am to software what Boy George is to cage fighting I'm afraid & am also a Liverpool supporter so you can see how "lucky" I am too. I daren't "root" or push via adb" or whatever you genius' do to enhance your Desire experience for fear of busting my beloved phone. Is there a simple way to do what it is you suggest? Thank you again for taking the time to look in, reply & try to help...

without root you have no write access to /system/ so you couldnt of deleted it you also cant push a simlar .apk back, are you sure there isnt an app called "gallery" in your app draw? the best i could suggest is to do a hard reset, your phone should be like it was when you bought it
LoL... well it blimmin well is! I'm sure it used to be called pictures I spent ages looking around the "P" bit on the app drawer & no wonder I couldn't find it! It is there under "gallery". AndroHero, thank you very much indeed, your patience with an escapee from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has been outstanding. Thank you for your help once again... embarassed.. One way ticket to shutter island for me

[Q] Standard pictures on phone

Hiya all!
So, I have a question.. Both my boyfriend and I have the exact same HTC Desire Z, a Dutch one from Vodafone and in the beginning we both had the standard pictures that come with the phone in our "All photos" folder in the gallery. But now, due to some strange reason, I cannot see or find these photos anymore..
The pictures I'm talking about are the ones with the girl with the big sunglasses, a couple of nature photos and a dog lying on the floor (there might be more but I have only seen these). I'm not talking about the photos that you can download from HTC Hub to use as a background, because they are not on there.
I downloaded a file explorer and tried finding them but no such luck..
Does anybody know where to find them on my phone? And if not, where to find them on the internet?
Thanks so much!

Didn't check if these are the correct ones since I'm only posting on my g2 right now but if not, reply here and I'll look into ripping apart a stock'ish desire z rom to find them
Thank you for that link! I downloaded the file and looked through it but I'm afraid these are the ones I'm not looking for (the HTC Hub ones) but if you could look if you can find them in the stock-file your phone I'd be ever so grateful!
Thanks in advance
I downloaded a few "desire Z" 'ish roms and apparently none of them have the pictures that you are requesting. I'm not sure if there is one, but you, or someone kind enough on the forums could provide me with a link to a stock rom to the desire z that doesn't require an exe/updater software installer, I could rip the wallpapers from it.
Ah right! Thats a shame! I wouldnt know for the life of me how to rip a rom from my phone so if anyone else has one, that'd be great! Maybe I could even ask my boyfriend to send them via bluetooth, if that is possible in the first place.
