i've been testing out all the sense 3.0 roms available for the past few months and gruesomwolf's shooter port is by far my favorite one. the only thing i'd like to change would be the way the rosie launcher looks on his newest release.
the newest release has the rosie virus has used in his kingdom ports. its smaller and takes up less space and the icons are faded rather than the vibrant white ones.
how do swap the two of them?
ive tried using root explorer (not very familiar with adb since ive never really had to use it in the past). i tried using root explorer to copy the rosie.apk, replacing the original, setting permissions, rebooting. nothing but sense fc's.
anyone able to help me with this? id surely appreciate it.

Hi,
I'm currently running CM6 and loving it, but I'm torn on what to try next... EViO, Baked Snack and VaelPak are all possibilities.
None of the ROM's really have the exact thing I want. Ideally, I'd like a ROM that has the following:
- Sense E-mail App
- Sense Calendar App
- Sense Lock Screen
- Sense Status Bar (with Custom Battery Icon)
- AOSP Contacts & Dialer
- AOSP Messaging (SMS/MMS)
- AOSP Gallery
- 4G Support
- FM Radio
- WiFi/Wired Tether
- Sprint Bloatware Removed (apart from Sprint TV)
- ADK Laucher (easy to add after the fact)
Any ideas on how to get this? I wish I was a Dev... I would build my own
I have been really happy with my testing of Evio. I have installed just about every rom in an attempt to find the perfect rom for me. The 2 i ussually come back to are Damage Control and Evio.
Some are upset that Dc hasnt had an update in a while but in my opinion it works well and is stable and there arent a lot of reasons they need a big update unles they have something to actually improve it.
As for evio VERY very solid rom. My suggestion if you like CM is to try one of these 2 (since evio is on your list i would go witht hat one) Remove all the sense ui crap and then search the forum for ASOP phone/contacts and messaging apks that were modded to work with sense roms. I know i have seen galelry and am pretty sure i ahve seen phone/contacts. the only one i dont think i have seen is messagin. (i am a handcent fan so havent really watched for ASOP messaging).
once you find the apks of the modded apps you can simply remove the Sense versions and replace with the ASOP version. This would give you pretty much what you are looking for at least for the hard parts. the bloat ware and launcher you can easily adapt to any rom. evio also comes with wired and wifi tether apps preinstalled.
anyway of the 3 i would try Evio next and good luck getting everything for your perfect rom set up.

I looked but couldn't find the AOSP apk's that I need. Do you think it will work if I just extract the apk's that I like from CM6, by copying them to my SD card and then moving them to my laptop? I can see MMS.apk, phone.apk, contacts.apk, and Gallery3D.apk in /system/app. Are there any other files that need to be copied with these?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi all-
I am having two issues that perhaps the community could offer help with-
First, I am running Myn's 5.3 with Riptide9's ported v13 theme. I love the combination of the two and the wireless systems work well.
I have noticed 2 theming issues;
1. I cannot seem to change the keyboard. I've tried flashing the various gingerbreads and they do not take. I've tried doing the long press in the dialogue boxes but the option to change keyboards does not pop up.
2. I have had trouble flashing clock widgets; oddly enough the two flame/glass clocks from Stone work fine. However, these were downloaded well before using Myn's. I've used a variety with IncRom with no problem but trying to flash others does not work.
3. I am wondering if this is an issue inherent to the theme rather than the Rom. I did a test run last night where I flashed a clean, unthemed version of Myn's and was able to swap out keyboards and clocks with no problems.
Are there any suggestions out there? I can live with the clock but would prefer to change the keyboard. Thank you in advance.

I'm unfamiliar with the theme, but if it's something you can just flash over Myn's 5.3, you could try doing the unthemed install, flash the clocks and keyboard, then flash the theme. That's weird that the theme is preventing use of alternate keyboards, I don't think I've ever heard of that happening before
I'll give that method a try. Seems that every user has a unique experience trying to "perfect" a nearly perfect phone. Thank god its not an iPhone or we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Hey guys, my old faithful rom was giving me problems last night so I decided to give cyanogen a try. Overall nice rom, very quick, I'm sure I'll like it, after I get some things figured out.
I never realized how much was sense on sense roms. Cyanogen is missing all those really handy widgets like email, people, and messaging. I'm slowly finding somewhat comparable widgets, but nothing solid yet.
What do you guys use for those basic widgets? Is there maybe a theme or something that has those, or should i keep looking on the market?
Thanks
I've been using GO Launcher EX and it's worked great in all the rom's I have tried.
I too gave CM7 a run but the biggest issue was that I could not get the auto backlight settings to duplicate the Sense rom's, and although minor to some people, this is a big deal with me.
LauncherPro Plus is personally my first choice. It's $3(?) and I have never found a launcher I like more. I actually think the "People" widget functions better than the sense one.
I don't use it but I hear launcherpro has some sense like widgets. And as far as the backlight settings, they are set lower than sense roms by default but you can just go into settings and bump the levels up a bit or search for settings other people have posted and use theirs as a starting point.

Ok, well I just completed a nandroid backup of my cyanogen mod 7 rom. I'm gunna restore the incredibly re-engineered rom I had before cyanogen. I'm thinking I'll flash the incredibly re-engineered Z rom's /system and the incredibly re-engineered evo /data that is in my old backup.
I'll play with cyanogen a little more later, or hold out for the sense version. The widgets aren't the only thing bugging me, I can't seem to get the t9 phone keyboard for portrait mode, and to me, cyanogen is just not worth it at the moment.
I've tried a bunch of the GingerSense ROM's, but am getting a little tired of fighting with nagging little issues with them and the lag that comes with them. (Not meant to be a dig at the devs) They are doing awesome work, I just need my phone to work 100%
The thing is though, I'm missing a couple features from those ROM's, including the MMS and Mail application. Any chance I can just pull some files from one of my old GingerSense ROM's and replace these apps?
Thanks in advance!
Tried copying the Mail and MMS .apk's from a Sense 3 ROM to my phone with Root Explorer, but after I did that, neither application was available. I did check to see that permissions were set, but to be honest, I really don't know what I'm doing, or even where to start to find a solution.
My guess is that it won't work because they rely on newer features of sense 3.0 that aren't available on 2.1.

Ok so, I'm sure this has been asked before. But I don't want to try a fix unless I know for sure, it won't have any other undesired effects. I have noticed the "ghosting effect" or whatever it is with two different roms with certain Sense 2.1 Skins. Such as Xperiansed Arc, Blue Sky, as well as several others. I've read somewhere that the problem is caused by the rom. And not the skin. But it seems odd that two roms from two different developers have the same issue. Regardless, it would be appreciated if somone could help me fix this. I have some experience with rooting and editing files and what not with apk's, and other misc. things while running linux. So if that's what I have to do, I can. But guidance is preferred.

If you have anything to say that isn't productive, don't post anything. I don't have time to deal with non-sense as I would like to have this problem resolved asap. Thanks in advance.

I have seen the same issue and haven't found a solution either. I like the sense3 skin w transparent Rosie but ghost date at the top is a fail
Absolutely. I love that one as well.
