[Q]Theme - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently flashed a theme from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852021&highlight=lucid+theme to my Evo, but nothing seems to have changed and everything still looks the same. I'm new to anything involving a Rooted phone so I don't know if I am doing something wrong or not.

First of all welcome! If you flashed the theme in. the recovery menu then you should be good to go. Try nandroid restoring and flashing a different theme, the theme you picked could be corrupt. Also try reflashing.
Also I noticed the page where you downloaded the theme states this "
These are ports of my Nexus One themes. I don't have an EVO 4G, so please test and post results."
So its likely they don't work...its ok because there are many other themes out there.

To change icons, you need a launcher, adw, launcher pro, ect and you can change them their, or use desktop vizualizer [free from the market] and change them individually.

On your dock, if you long press you icon for something, it'll give you the option to change the icon.

Transparent MMS

Here is a transparent MMS working for the Nexus! Delete the original MMS and install this in its place through something like drop box as you would any other apk. This is the original work of Dhacker so the main credit goes to him, I just themed it a little more. Let me know if you would like it themed with a personal touch of your own? Enjoy!

The thread was made merely minutes ago. My thread took 3 days for someone to notice it. The phone is yet to be popular so give it a chance, this thread will be on fire soon
Any screenshots or pictures?
Thank you, I hope so, just helping the community with things I like and have altered to work for this phone.

Is there any way to change it myself?
Mine shows only phone numbers, no names. FC's when I open settings.
Yes, download the apk tool and decompile it then change any setting you want,,,just be careful some changes to .png's or xml's do not go so well so it may take a few tries to get everything to work.

How to replace the slide answering with a single touch?

ZL is a bit too big to handle by single hand. Sometimes I have to slide a couple of times to answer the phone call sucessfully.
So is it possible to replace it with a virtual button? I do think it cool for every vendor to follow apple.

Menu's opening at the top not the bottom.

I know it has something to do with the overflow menu, but is a way to make the menus open at the bottom instead of the top? every other android device I've had has opened the menu at the bottom not the top.
It actually depends on the app. If you press the menu key when on the homescreen, the menu appears at the bottom. If you do it on the Play Store, it appears at the top.
If you want all the menus to appear at the bottom, you have to change a value in the build.prop.

That's what I'm looking for! which one!
With a little more digging I finally found it thx to build.prop tip
add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
keep in mind if you're on stock, but rooted, you will not be able to install the OTA because you changed the build.prop

Well this stopped working on most roms within the last month...
Anybody got any other Ideas on how to get this working?
So far the only Rom that actually has this setup is PACman
which is an awesome Rom, don't get me wrong but it's just a little too much for me
My favorite rom thus far is SlimBean so if anybody can get this to work right please let me know.

[MOD] [01/21/2016] GPE Dialer -- *Updated for Lollipop & MarshMallow*

Lollipop zip provided by: asif4self & MarshMallow zip provided by @bumpaneer. I am just posting these for everyone to use. Be sure to thank them both!
There have been issues reported of not getting calls at all, if that's the case be sure to have a nandroid, no one mentioned in this thread will be responsible for anything that happens to your device.
For the record this will remove stock sense dialer so make sure to make backups!
How to install:
1. Download zip Lollipop here - MM here
2. Place in SD or EXTSD if you downloaded on your computer.
3. Reboot to recovery.
4. NANDROID (seriously don't get mad at me or @asif4self or @bumpaneer if anything goes wrong and you don't have your own backup)
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache + Cache.
6. Install zip.
7. Reboot and enjoy!
If you have any questions just ask here. Also, don't forget to thank @asif4self & @bumpaneer.

It works! Didn't have sound for a bit, but it's up and working now.
As for professing love in a manly way, it's a lot of fumbling my words and kicking the dirt and I stare at my feet. Oh, and I possibly offend you unintentionally.

Thank you for this i like the GPE dialer instead of the sense one
I still use ExDialer, but would love to switch to GPE if I could get the same look out of it... black with dial-pad taking up less than half the space and at least 3.5 contacts from Call History showing at the top (plus swipe contact row right to call or left to txt).
Is any of that possible with any mods?
Thanks for this!
It's working for me with one small problem. The keypad doesn't seem to work in-call. Is this a known problem with a workaround?

My keypad works just fine during calls? What's your setup? Maybe try wiping app data via settings>apps>all and choose phone then clear data.
No dice. I had messed with trying to install GPE Dialer before finding this mod, so tomorrow I'll RUU and try it fresh to see how it goes.

Are you rooted? I'm running non-rooted stock Dev Edition ROM. Flashed the zip but new dialer does not show up. Still have Sense dialer and cannot find the GPE Phone icon in app drawer. I can see in the app in all Apps but no way to open the app.

I am rooted yes ... If sense still shows up means it didn't flash right... Or maybe disable sense phone app in settings>apps and reboot see if it shows up.

Keep in mind, it was buggy for me for about 5 minutes. Been working fine since.
I'll install one more time and give it a few hours. Is there any chance this is a problem for me because I'm on Verizon? Are dialer/phone mods like this carrier/radio agnostic?
