So I was looking around on the DesireHD Forums, and I was wondering it if it was possible to get this theme on our phones.
I wouldn't mind doing it if my theory to getting it work is correct. Would it be possible to take RMK's Sense2.1+3.0 component ROM and transfer the /system/app from the HoneySense to that ROM as well as the framework apk to RMK's ROM to get it to work? Or would it take considerably more effort than that to get it running?
If it's as easy as I'm praying it is, I wouldn't mind putting it together and, with permission, release it on our forums. However, my cooking knowledge is... non-existent, so if it's more than that, well, I'm just throwing the idea out if anyone wants to try to port this theme to our device.
This is a nice theme...I would want to use it also. I hope someone would look into this. Thank you in advance!
Hmmm poses an interesting question, just copy the res folder from the APK's you like to your res you would like to theme, now if it runs 2.3.3 and has sense 2.1 it should work!
I think someone did that already

Hi,
Most Hero ROMs try to port FriendStream, News and Live Wallpapers from the Legend/Desire to our Heros but wouldn't be better to just use a Legend port?
I've read about a few problems in the past, when we were still waiting for the official 2.1 update for the Hero and the Legend/Desire were just being released, about doing stuff like this that it would never be 100% like the current official 2.1 update for the Hero (well, it's not 100% either, but you know what I mean).
But now we have official RUU updates from the Legend (the most similar to the Hero of the new phones) we also have the source for the Hero 2.1 kernel, wouldn't that be enough to create a good and fully working port for the Hero? Wouldn't be better instead of using the official Hero 2.1?
I'm not as experienced as most devs here, that's why I'm wondering if this would be better and if there's some problem porting the Legend ROM that I'm overlooking...
No one has an opinion on this?

There was this ROM called Legendroid, I don't remember who was the developer But the ROM was pretty fast and stable.

Sure, but that doesn't really "answer my question"
I mean, we know have the source code for the kernel, which we didn't back then when such ROMs were released...
I'm wondering if that makes a difference...
Changing the kernel is not enough.
You could be more explicit...
I'm not a dev, but as a user I can say, that those were slow and battery sucker.
But if you do one what is speedy, uses battery at least as good as the official based ones, and it'll have more features....
Hero community will love you C:

I am pretty sure this was caused by the lack of the .29 kernel it should be better now.
Well I can't really see why a Legend ROM would be better than a Hero ROM, but I would like the News Reader Widget, I find it dumb how HTC wouldn't give the 2.1 Hero this widget but whatever.
OH btw don't take this as discouragement by all means go for it since most people ditched their Legend ROMs so if you can do it I don't see why not variety is good .
i thought the only problems transferring features from the legend ROM was the friendstream widget as everything else was ported over to normal Hero ROMs one way or another before the official 2.1 RUU came out.
it would obviously be easier to port the extra stuff from the legend ROM to the Hero ROMs
I don't think it would cause the Legend ROM has more things than the News and FriendStream widgets... For instance, the browser has quick actions for selected text which is cool, the mail widget has 3 variants (Hero's only have 1). And I'm sure there lots of other tiny little details...
It's a pain to port all these things one by one, it's just easier (I think) to port the whole thing with a Hero kernel (but I'm not the one to do it).
And I'm sure there are other "hidden" stuff that our Heros lack, it's just their way to differentiate their phones. It sucks for customers, but it's good for them.

If we take a legend port suppose would you be able to modify the Hero kernal to work on the port with OC.
As I said, it is not only the kernel that needs to be changed. But... we already have a Legend port... Fallah
I don't want to be rude but cloud you please stop saying that changing the kernel is not enough without explaining why and/or what else is needed?
You're not being very helpful like that...
And that Legend port is not based on WWE, so it would be a no go for me.

should have free time in the coming months and i'm going to try make a legend port. i'm not a "dev" i know a little but i cant do what a lot of these guys do by any means. if its stable i might share
still use my G1 for random development as well as a magic 32b and now i got the desire i can try be brave and try out things on the hero.

could you please add links to each post where we can download those two flashable files?
Also, has anyone tried fallah or the swedish rom yet? I downloaded them both just now but am running the just released updated cronos froyo rom right now and don't want to reflash until I've tested this baby thoroughly.
what I miss most about the old legend ports was the FAR superior text selector system with zooming etc. Is that part of these roms or was that a bit of a hack in the older roms? it sure was sweet....
It really should be part of android, but considering it's similar to the apple copy/paste concept, I'm wondering if there might be some patent infringement going on there which might explain why it's not used by HTC in other roms than the legend stuff. But that is just a rumor I pieced together myself so it's probably wrong.
anyway, it's the best text selector system on android. froyo's selector comes close but isn't still as good imho.

It looks hacked with a different theme, I'm not very fond of that... Thanks for sharing though.
I might try to do a port myself when I get the chance, similar to the Nebulae (my own ROM) features and see how that goes...

but all that when i come back from my vacation...
How's it going everyone?
I'm looking for any sort of tutorial as to looking into a rom's com.htc.resources.apk file and modifying files to theme a rosie of my own style. I know there is a lot on this forum about finding custom rosies and remapping, etc. but as a graphic designer, I like everything slick, and the rosies I have to use with the different roms I flip around from (Myn, Virus, other sense based) are nice but I've developed my own and got it looking good on Launcher Pro, but I like my sense widgets and would prefer to just modify the stock sense rosie to my own. Myn has recently been able to create a rather similar look to what I created, and so I'm gonna work with his RLS 3 Rom if that makes any sort of difference.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks to all the devs btw, your Roms are the best and I wish I had your talents.

APKTool works well but it still can't do all of the framework apks yet. It should decode everything well enough for you to get in there and see what all needs changing though.
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
his thread here on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640592&page=80
If you are just starting off by changing images you don't need any special programs aside form an image editor. What I would then suggest is to download a few themes, open up the framework-res.apk and com.htc.resource.apk from each, and compare the images between them to get an idea of what images you should be concerned with first. Typically, if you open up these files from themes and you sort by "Date Modified" it will be very easy to tell which are the original and which are modified because 80+% will have one date and everything else will be newer.
If an once you deceide to move beyond simply changing images I highly recommend APK Manager which was developed by someone here on XDA. It is a collection of other tools and scripts developed by other XDA members that will decompile APK files so that the XML files are readable/editable and once finished will recompile it.
That's a great idea. Yeah I have PhotoShop and Illustrator, I just want sure which images I should play with and which ones not to. That "last modified" option should help.
Thanks for your input. If anyone else knows of other ways or tips, please feel free to share.

I have the stock 3.26.605.1 rom deodexed on my phone that I have been working on to make myself my own rom with rom kitchen. What I am wondering is, how do I go about getting the power control widgets in the pull down?? Does someone have or maybe make an update.zip or mm that will add these? I already have the 6 bar signal meter and circle battery with % with location removed and don't really want to lose them. No I don't know how to code so that isn't an option. Thanks for any help!
SkyRaider Sense 3.5
I recommend SkyRaider Sense 3.5 as a solution for getting the power widgets on the notification drop-down.
You can check out the Official Thread here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787
EDIT: Location icon is removed with SR; you can apply 6-bar and circle battery meters. See the OP in the above thread.
Yeah I was running skyraider 3.5. But I wanted something "my own". Thats why I want to be able to add the power widgets to the stock rom. Because I am playing with and learning the "kitchen". That way I have something for myself that is to my taste.
Wow!! I didnt think I was asking for the impossible here. I have read tons and tons of post and I know that the files where posted on here till that thread was closed down due to peoples behavior.
It is not that it is impossible, but there are many working parts. The drop down notification is in the Services.jar file. You need a framework apk that came from a ROM that had the notification drop down (for the added png files). The 6 bar signal and battery % is also in the services jar file. There are a few ROMS that have this combo. What color are you looking to theme?
Honestly I was hoping for just the stock look with power widgets. I work outside all day and the transparent drop downs are hard to see outside. Man I wish I was a little more tech savvy. I tried the framework from Nilsp (hope thats spelled right) business sense 3.1 but the notifications are kinda hard to see in the drop down. So i am back to stock framework.............. If there was a way to add it to Virtuous I would just his framework.
I posted a theme for Redemption in the themes section. I believe it will flash over Virtuous. Check out the screen shots and let me know if that is the look. I have a flashable zip that can give you that.
Yeah, I like that!! But is there anyway to do it without the transparent pull down? And I have big hands so I am not real fond of the 5 app wide app drawer.
I checked it out again and, I love the status bar theme, the pulldown widgets and scooby fonts!!!! I am just not a big fan of the transparent pulldown, 5 wide app drawer and rosie remaps.......... But at this point I willing to settle with I can get! LOL
So I downloaded your theme, deleted the rosie mod and clock mod. Flashed it and it works perfect on Stock deodexed 3.26.605.1 framework!! The market is force closing on me but I am fixing that as I am typing. Thank you so very much!!!!!!
Be wary that the initial port of the power widgets to the incredible contained a lot of EVO code to the point where you were pretty much running on the EVO framework (the framework-res.apk was code for code an EVO apk). ihtfp (and I a little) have been working on a port to un-modified Sense ROMs such as Virtuous. Once we do, you can be assured we'll distribute the files accordingly or make a how-to.
Oh thanks and good to know. This would probably explain why I always get boot loops when I try to put my framework into the mod lol

I used the files that lllboredlll put into his Incredible rom. Wasn't that ported specifically for the Incredible. I have not experienced any boot loops when using this on the Inc framework. I initially tried to utilize what was in Redemption (Evo hybrid) and THAT put me into a boot loop.
Just wanted to give a personal thanks to Spence341 for all his help and hard work!! And thanks to all the developers that made this mod possible. I wish I was half as good as they are with this stuff!
Great theme Spence341. I took your files and fonts and added them to my framework and ran it through the kitchen again so I have it all zipaligned and everything. Runs smooth as butter and looks very awesome! Even the wife wanted it on her phone!
Thanks again
All the credit goes to lllboredlll and JsChiSurf. They did the development... glad it worked for you. Love to see some screen shots when you are done.

Yes. It won't bootloop, but what they didn't tell you/refused to tell you is that they kanged the EVO stuff that jschisurf made for his *EVO* in the first place. They "ported" this by copy and pasting smalis, rather than the code itself. Thus making it an EVO framework. They just kanged the entire framework-res, didn't even copy files. If you look into the AndroidManifest, it has permissions for WiMAX.
So the mod you have in your theme thread, is it strictly Inc framework? What are the negatives to using it as it is is "kanged" (that's a term I haven't heard in a while). I was trying to achieve what I wanted with my limited ability.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
It's pretty much about 99% Inc framework, ported *the right way* by ihtfp himself. It's just nice not to have EVO framework on your phone if you're not using an EVO, no? He also added a few more features, such as an updated look and not needing the txt file (that's not released yet though).

O.K. its been busy around here! Gotta love the holidays! So I finally got some screen shots taken. I think it turned out really well!
ok guys i been theming for miui rom for a while and its pretty simple because of the theme option thats built it on the rom and it was one of my first roms i flash when i first rooted my phone, but now im gonna start using myths & sense roms because i love the feel and smoothest of the sense roms, i know theres alot of sense themes out there for all devices, but i have alot of ideas of my own.
i know the whole deal of framework.apk and etc for theming, but one thing i really need help out or guide to or wiki tutorial with its to change the xml files for colors etc, and many other things that i wanna learn to change to make a theme as much detail as i can, i have alot of greaatttt ideas with alll this info and material on the internet with the sense and android phones, but i need someone to send me to the right directions or link to how to start theming from fresh start specially on sense roms because i wanna work on that the most.
if anyone can help me or send me to a link or videos etc of how to theme i really i appreciated, not only it will help me get into the whole android world but we can all enjoy themes that ill be making on my free time.
this is 2 of my themes for miui , since i start theming a month or two ago, and learn evrything myself but still need more knowledge on theming

Hi, I have been messing around with developing a rom based off of 4.67.
I would like to add a newer version of sense to it.
How would I go about updating Sense to 3.0, 3.5, or 3.6?
Thank you.
It is a matter of stripping those elements you want out of the 3.0/3.5 ROM and getting them to play nice with stock 1.0... I don't know how much of this is permissions and how much depends on actually changing the apk's to work with one another. I would look in the Chef Central section and maybe ask some of the folks in that neck of the woods. You could also hit up some of the great EVO dev's like Tommytommatoe and Mik, by PM and see what advice they can give you.
