I like to use ADW launcher. Unfortunately I also liked to use the HTC Sense picture widget that displayed a picture and when clicked took you to the picture gallery.
I have not been able to find an app that satisfactorily emulates the HTC widget.
Could someone make one?
The only requirements are stated above. That it displays a single picture that when clicked takes me to the picture gallery. You can put in more options like a slideshow option or whatever else you can think of. As long as I still have it only display one picture.

I have tried this one. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to really take me to the photo gallery it just opened the picture viewer where I could only see the one picture in the widget. If I could get it to actually open the gallery where I could view other pictures and open up the camera, then it would be worth it.
I would also recommend turtle photo frame from the market. It does a slides with the widget that pretty cool. It has white and black bordered widget too which means it goes with about everything. Check it out.

heres something i figured out, that will probably suit your needs. i used launcherpro plus which lets you resize widgets, but also allows overlapping them. placed a 4x4 turtle photoframe widget, then re sized it to 3x4 then placed the gallery and video icons and resized the widget back to 4x4. clicking the picture switches to the next or i can click the buttons on the bottom to go to their respective apps.

This is interesting. I might do that until a better widget comes along.
I don't know if this is really a mod, and it's not really a theme. This simple edit will change the appearance of the email app, to make it more closely match the look of the contacts, dialer, and sms apps.
You must be rooted. Navigate to /system/csc, and select feature.xml.
Scroll to the "Email" section, and change this line from this:
<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>true</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>
To this:
<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>false</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>
Save, exit,
Make sure permissions are set to: rw-r--r--,
and reboot.

It just turns the white background of the app, black. The actual body of the email will look like it always did.

Makes me wonder why Sprint chose the light background, when some of the other carriers went with the dark background. To me, it flows with the rest of the UI better.
I agree

Make sure your file explorer has root, and R/W permissions, and be sure to save the edited file before you exit. Then reboot. I've done this mod with Root Explorer, ES File, and Solid Explorer. What file explorer are you using?

I prefer the black background as well, but the dark grey on black for the message list is hard to read. And the actual emails still being white is a big downer as well. Oh well...back to K9 Mail for me.

I haven't tried K9 Mail. Maybe I'll give it a shot, later.
Love k9 mail for all the features and best of all black background everywhere. Hate the white background garbage that people like from coming from Apple products.
It just hurts to read and blinding when in a dark room

Haha, but HTC was just about as guilty with the white background, for several years, even back in the Windows Mobile days. The sad part is, I was too ignorant to know any better.
Worked great... hated that grayish background... thanks!

I edited the OP. After you save the edited file, make sure the permissions are rw-r--r--. Twice, during my testing, the permissions changed after saving, for some reason. So, just verify the permissions are correct, before you reboot.
I noticed that I lost my secondary selections on my keyboard after this mod. No more comma icons etc. I tried to reverse the process numerous times. The mail app stays black and my keyboard stays this way. Any ideas? I guess I'll just nand back otherwise.

You may have inadvertently changed something, while scrolling, or whatever.
In feature.xml, scroll to the SIP section. Make sure these lines match what you have:
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>en_US;es</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary> <CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>true</CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>
As far as I know, it has to be exact. The entire entry can't have any extra spaces, or stray characters.
Save, exit, make sure permissions are rw-r--r--, and reboot. Hope this gets you going.
Thanks I'll check it out right now.
No dice. Everything looks right. The email app stays black and still no change to keyboard. It's rw r r. File saved properly etc. Weird.

That is strange. When I first flashed the LK8 leak, I had the international keyboard (no secondary keys). The Sprint feature.xml has the secondary key keyboard by default. I've since searched, and found out that the international Note 2 owners added this entry to their feature.xml, to get the 'US' keyboard. Are you on the viperboy's latest version of the leak? There is no reason I know of, why it won't work.
It's alright. I got it back by grabbing another feature. Xml file from a backup. No worries. I may try it again Lllater and see if I can replicate the issue.
I'm on the stock Deodexed rooted rom.

Would someone mind posting these files up to a mirror?
You follow the link to another page, click the "Download" button, get the obligitory Pop up, and then get shunted to a "Wait 20 seconds" page, then after the wait you can click on the new link to find out you need an account to download it.

No...but you can download exdialer from the play store.
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk 2
I hate that ATT contact list and dialer and so I downloaded Rocket Dialer from play. Some of the good settings are hidden deep and so you have to spend some time with it. But there are a TON of options. Themes (maybe 150)?, font type, font size, key color and background display color even inside the theme you choose. Literally thousands of options.
So far both the dialer part and contact part both are working great for me.
I flashed .67 then rooted. Somewhere in the mix I lost the native browser! I would use chrome and move on but chrome isn't allowing me to add bookmark links to the home screen....which is key for me. Anyone know how the native one got hosed?
Chrome is the default browser. Did mean the old stock android "Browser"?

Are you sure?? Chrome lets me add a widget with direct links of my choosing to any screen. Looks exactly like the native browser widget with the only difference being the Chrome sign in the lower right corner.

Thanks all. I meant that in stock form the ZL had a chrome icon and another browser that had a blue globe as an icon. They seemed to be different in the way the operated.
I did figure out how to do the home screen link. It won't offer it if you are in the "star fav's" view of the bookmarks, while the normal bookmark view enabled it. Is there any advantage to the stock android browser? That must be what I thought was the "Sony" browser.

Chrome tab & chrome tab..
i just tried it and it dose the same. its not compatible to do it cause when u do 2 windows with the same browser the phone sees u want to use the browser only
if u want to surf 2 websites at once just download another browser like forefox or opera
No other browsers show up as a duel window option. Have a bunch installed. This stinks.. I do a lot of copy pasting from one site to another.. Sigh..

i can look around and see if theres a browser that will allow u to run beside chrome. now if u hate the new tab view on chrome you can turn it off. just tap on the 3 dots. go to settings, tap merge tabs and apps and turn it off. you will have the old tab style back
