I hate to say it but I actually prefer the candy coating user experience of Sense to that of Stock Android. While playing with CM5 there were many things I liked and many I didn't. As a result I went back to Sense. Perhaps it just because it's what I have grown to know over the last couple days.
Anyway, the one thing in CM I really did like was the Photo Gallery, which included Picasa. Anyone know what I can do to get that Photo Gallery into Sense?
I think I might play with some other Sense ROMs today. Maybe someone has already done the work for me.
Thanks in advance for any help.
i may be able to make a zip for you. wow im busy tonight. i have to make a theme for the droid/milestone, a theme and two zips for sense roms.

I don't mind doing it myself. I just need a push in the right direction. I'm technically inclined but 3 days new to Android. What exactly am I looking for? Is the stock Photo Gallery a widget or app of sorts?
If you are willing to send me something later, that's cool too. I'm just trying to suck in as much info as possible. I don't want to cook or anything but I'd like to be able to have better control of what I can do to my existing ROM.
Thanks!

it is an app. if you want a zip i can make one. if not, the app is located in the system/app folder of cm5. all you have to do is put the app in the tools folder of the sdk and adb push gallery.apk /system/app in rcovery.

Ok, cool. My plan is to play with adb today and install wireless tethering and update the kernel to support true AP Mode. I'll see what I can do with this too.
Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how I make out.
update- the app is called gallery3d.apk

So I installed the app and it seems to be working just fine. Thanks.
I'd like a widget or something for it so it's open on a home screen without needing to open the app. Additionally, is there any modding of the app file that I can do fix or remove the camera button. It doesn't seem to work in Sense.
Thanks again for all your help.
not that i know of.

Yeah, I just extracted it from CM after I got the name. I thought it was also a widget but it's not. Thanks for the other post though.

There is the possibility it could also be a widget. I may be mistaken, but I think unless you actually installed the gallery, in order to use the widget you'd have to delete some file. Again, I may be mistaken, I haven't tried this.
EDIT: I'm just thinking this because I remember in order to properly remove the Facebook/Twitter/etc widgets from stock, one had to remove some sort of database to force a widget database refresh, because it only does that on a legit (un)install

Edit: I'm going to put together the information I've learned from asking this question and the links and post them here thanks to everyone that helped me I know I still have allot to learn so anymore info would be greatly appreciated
There are a couple options afaik.
You can use ADW Launcher, which will let you choose any picture/logo/icon for any app you put on yr homescreen. I use almost all Launcher Pro icons in my ADW Launcher.
Or, much more involved and complete, rip open the apk in question and replace the icon with one of ur choosing.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
I was thinking of trying to open the apk because I like sense but not shute what programs I need or what to look for but I'm willing to learn.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You really just need the program 7zip.
After you have it set up, right click on any apk, highlight 7zip, and pick open archive. The icon you'll want to change is in res/drawables andshould be called icon. Be sure any new icon you put in there is the same format, size and name. I have never made my own icons, just used others, I recommend icons from droidicons.com/launcherpro That may not be the exact page, but Google it if you like the minimalist theme.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
Thanks I'll give it a try in the morning I'm trying to use riptide's glass icons just to make everything match but I think I'll look at the others you suggested too and post some screens when I'm done

change icons
You need a program called NinjaMorph its not hard to learn biut once you do you can google any image and use it as an icon to the apk of your choice.
****, Ninjamorph looks like a sweet idea, haven't used it yet, but may have to give it a try.

Keep in mind that NinjaMorph only works on System Apps and does not work on Market Apps. If you want to change Market Apps the only way to do so is to open the apk and insert them.
[Obviously, you could use an alternative launcher but that only changes the icon on your home screen and not in the Apps Drawer]

Yeah, I have always just used 7zip to edit the apk's before install.

Sorry, there is a bit more to it.
You also need to delete the META-INF folder and resign the apk.
I use this signing tool APK Signing Tool
It's an edited version of a zip signer. I didn't make it, got everything from this old thread Editing APK's

Thanks good thread. So using these will rewrite the meta file that I delete? After I do this I assume that the market apps will have to be manually updated and edited again.

Yep, a new meta-inf is built for you.
When there's updates for apps, it sucks, gotta redo everything
I went through and did all mine to Launcher Pro style icons, thought I was done, then the updates start rolling in and screwing with everything. Now, when I try a new ROM, I just preload it with all my edited apps before flashing, makes for a bunch of work up front, but it sure is nice to just flash, sync, and go. Then I disable all updates until it looks like something important is fixed/added.
And slightly off topic, what's the deal with market app developers putting out like 27 updates every week, driving me crazy. I know I have a lot of apps, but it seems like every time I look, 19 updates available. And I gotta go look at change logs and waste all my precious time at work when I should be getting stuff done, it's all their fault when my crews production runs low
I know exactly what you mean but it seems like some of them update everyday. Thank you for all the help was hopeing to be finished tonight but my nice just crashed my computer but as soon as I get it back up and going I'll be good the one good thing about it is it gives me a chance to do a dual boot with linux

I checked around, even googled, I did find similar topics but I have yet to come across a solution. I just installed the ACS updater and installed the nebula theme for my Epic. since then after I end a call i get the process com.android.phone has suddenly stopped working! error. It even got worse to the point where I couldnt even dial out. I enabled journaling and re-flashed to SFR 1.2, everything worked fine. Tried installing that Nebula theme again and came to the same error. I have no idea what to do with Journaling but I hear everyone recomending it. Any suggestions to fix this?
It's because srf has carrier IQ removed. If you delete the problem apk's from the theme before flashing it you should be fine. Although that particular apk won't be themed...
Edit: system/app is where you will find it. I don't remeber the name of the apk tho... I know if you look through maddogins black bionic theme thread it is discussed in there and someone linked an alternate themed phone or dialer.Apk that doesn't fc.

I think it's the dialeractivity.apk and the phone.apk. I had this issue when I was building Dark Horse 1.2. I replace the the apks with the apk's from a different rom (can't remember which), themed those and the problem was fixed.
im not sure what to do with that. I've got a phone and dialer apk that work, how do I theme them? This is just too confusing

You can drag and drop the png's from the themed version to the stock version you want to use as a base.
Extract the themed apk with 7zip, open the stock apk with 7zip, drag and drop just the pngs in the drawable folders into the same place in the apk you have open with 7zip. Close it and place it in the system/app folder of thr theme.

Themers,
I found a thread on XDA that had some themed keyboard skins for Swype. I have the Beta installed, and have been enrolled for some time. According to the thread here and another which I cannot find right now, you just uninstall and install this version. I tried editing the apk with 7zip, opened the archive, and put the PNGs in the keyboard. Pushed the apk back to data/app and nada.
I tried to re-sign the apk with Android Signer, nada. I tried APKtool and APK Manager, and there are errors decompiling, and nada. I just want to change the keyboard to a different skin.
So the question is, is this possible with the latest version of Swype.
DjDarkknight themed the newest version of swype and its fuccin baaaadass!

I figured out my stupidity! I had to use 7zip to add the files I wanted for the keyboard to the apk, put the apk in APK Manager in the folder for signing, enter 16 to sign the apk, then uninstall Swype and Swype Installer, then installed the apk as normal.
Rocking the Black Glass keyboard from here, looks very nice!

Morning.
They are based off the beta. I did them a while ago but luckily Swype haven't changed the layout in a while.
Credits go to Android Police for getting this.
To install, I uninstalled the old app with titanium backup.. Then reboot and install the apk (Gmail_v4.2.apk)
There you go - pinch to zoom in Gmail!
Works perfectly for me on XXDLIB
UPDATE: Tylwith added a CWN flashable zip - attached (gmail4.2.zip)
UPDATE 2: travp624 made an inverted colours apk - attached (Gmail4.2-signed-aligned.apk)
Android Police have an article about the new features here http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...amped-attachments-better-navigation-and-more/
On the source article on Android police they said they are not yet allowed to post the apk. I hope to that someone will post it here.
You would think XDA would have posted the APK already. This is my first time seeing a news site have APK's before XDA. It's usually news sites posting what XDA has discovered.

sharing the apk here, AndroidPolice has gotten enough traffic out of this one
Here is how I installed this on wanam 3.7 (deodexed rom) You may have to find and delete .odex files on stock roms
(you may want to do a full backup in cwm first)
plug phone into usb cable from pc
Drag file from pc desktop to phone.
Run root explorer on phone (or a file manager with root access)
go to system/app
mount r/w
long press gmail2.apk
rename as gmail2.bak
mount r/o
now still in root explorer go to sdcard
press androidpolice_gmail2.apk and choose install from the package installer.
(Installs in data/app)
reboot phone
Enjoy pinch to zoom
If you want it in system/app find another guide
