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

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?
I am Running DeFrost,
And Yes its amazing!!
But a question that i cannot find a straight answer too,
Is there lack of Widgets for FroYo or is it the Firmware?
Or
Is it as simple as an App that needs downloading and installing and you gets your Widgets?
I miss just a couple of Widgets, One is my Emails
I had my Live and Gmail on 2 Different Pages on the Home Screen,
And Some Toggles, (Oh and the odd Clock)
Now i know i can do the Toggles easy with switch pro widget and extended controls widget
But what about my Email Widget :-(
There is no Sense UI in FroYo rom's so no htc widgets, you can try DJDROID rom which has Sense UI on Froyo

Soooo ... for the past couple days I've decided to give up my Sense ROM on my G2 and switch to CM6.1 Final, with the Gingerbread Theme. But for some reason I can't find a way to install the docks & icons. I've seen on many thread folks asking questions about installing custom docks and icons and I figured I would just start this. If anyone know's how to do it, feel free to post the instructions here.
Thanks!
Checked around to see if there were any rules for starting this thread and I didn't find any reason not too.

The launcher that comes with CM6.1 is ADW Launcher. Personally, I prefer Launcherpro. Both launchers have the ability to change the dock background. Try out launcher pro from the market and see which you prefer. Then you can go into the "Appearance" settings and change the dock to a pre-loaded dock or to a custom dock by selecting "custom" (it will then take you to your SD card to choose your custom image.
As for the icons, I use Bettercut found in the market. But if your not willing to spend, then Desktop Visualizer is another great option. They both allow you to change the shortcut icons.
Hope this helps!
I agree with Nissan. Been using Launcher Pro for about a week now and love it. I tried using a similar app when I was using my Cliq, but it made it super lag. With all the pwer behind the G2, u shouldn't notice anything too drastic as far as performance goes. And if you're overclocked, well then all the better

Damn ADW
I've flirted with ADW the entire day and there is no way to change the dock to anything custom. I'm going to download LP and just use that for my docks/icons and etc. Screw ADW.

Lmao! That's the same way I felt about ADW. ADW uses theme files that you can get in the market. When applied, it changes your wallpaper, icons, and dock background. I'm pretty confident that you will like LP if you don't like ADW.
not only does ADW lack an easy way to theme it but it also lacks 3d app drawer and the flick up app dock is super laggy on Vision, at least it was the last time I used it.... LPFTW!

"It" being changing the dock background. I meant to post my screen to show some folks but for some reason it didn't post.
ive searched and didnt find what i was looking for and if someone already asked this i didnt see it... also mods if im asking in wrong place then just move it....
Im running Calkulins rom v1.0 which comes with a custom TW launcher and i would like to add the ICS icons . I know theres already a ics icon pack available but i need to install a custom launcher like ADW,LP, or GO but i want to keep TW . Also Overstew has a ICS theme that is compatible which looks very nice but i like the way the drop down notication looks (transparent) and the system icons i.e. Wifi,Bluetooth, GPS, Sound, 4g...
So is there a way to do this just add the ICS icons maybe a flashable zip or something or could i open up a theme erase what i dont want?
TIA to anyone that helps

Open up my theme and remove the systemUI.apk from the app folder. Then, just delete the entire framework folder. Then flash.
will the launcher still have the 5 dock icons?
thanks for the quick response

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!
