I'm already about finished. Just have a few more .9.png files to edit.
However I'm not going to release it until the stable build is finished. Waste of time and effort otherwise.
is it a black bar theme thatll be awsome along with a nexus launcher but not the helix or launcher2. i changed that by changing the draw button images to nexus ones hehe.
also music beautification works on mp3 player on this rom

Sure is. http://tinyurl.com/chmtheme still working on finding a suitable Launcher though.
use stock lol just change the arrow images on the drawer to the nexus square and itll be fine and run fast. i experienced slowness when using helix or launcher2 its that it bloats the system and uses far too much memory with the wrap aroound effect emulating what the nexus does. when really to save speed the square icon will suffice by that i mean changing the app draw icon to the nexus one with .png that it really.
-Codex
just wondering
okay, so im a noob, does anyone know where to find the status bar png in the framework.? where is it located?

Anyone have a clock for AOSP that works like the sense one?

I have been looking for a clock that is like the stock sense one that has alarms and timer and stop watch all included haven't been able to find one for a AOSP rom would like to find a sense based clock that works with AOSP rom that has all the goodies with it. Only thing thats stopping me from wanting to use a AOSP rom all the time. I like the senseless roms but its a pain to find something that may work until it boot loops sucks. Anyone know of any i have checked out the clock forums on here but all they seem to be is fancy clock widgets. So can anyone point me into the right direction. Thanks I am pretty familiar with APK files..

I'm using the Weather & Toggle widget on my hero and using it asa my EVO comes in. It's almost exactly like the stock one and there's skin downloads to match it exactly. I paid for mine because it's worth the couple bux bud, seriously. I don't buy many apps, just help out the devs but this one was a no brainer for AOSP roms.

I'd use AOSP roms in a heartbeat if I could get this too. Can never find a keyboard as good as the HTC one either.

Ya i am likeing cm7 tho the keyboard sucks its a pain to use. The clocks out there are not as good sense based one. Hope someone can fix that. The roms to have dried up not to many people are making anything new. I like evo based roms not ports. If your really want a port go get the phone in my opinion. Im like konies rom elite 3 battery life isnt good on stock kernel the clock doesnt suit me trying to replace it.
Fancy widget has the clock your looking for plus a whole lot more..

Sense replacements
I am on ASOP now and have really missed a lot of Sense stuff since switching to Cyanogen 6 a few months ago.
I have used a number of stopwatch apps and don't really like any of them.
I am using TouchPal, beacuse I don't like the stock dialer, but am not crazy about TouchPal.
I am using SwiftKey as a keyboard, which I do really like a lot.
I use Beautiful Widget's: Super Clock. Its the best thing next to sense. Plus you can change up the skins faster than you do your socks!
Also I use Swift Keyboard. It looks similar to the touch input plus its crazy convenient!

Ehh, I just want the time and an alarm lol. W&T widget defaults to the stock clock, which has an alarm so that's cool. The KB is garbage though you're right. Many months ago when I was on Sense roms with my Hero I was using the AOSP-voice keyboard but now I'm on Better Keyboard 8. My EVO should be in tomorrow and I'm guessing that just the meire size of the phone should make ANY keyboard easier to use lol. The Hero landscape is just a little too small for my big fingers.

Check out HD Widgets. It's on app store for a small amount but is well worth it and it looks great. It has lots of clock widget sizes and styles, with or without weather and is highly customisable.

[Q] Launcher

I may just be asking to be flamed, but I have to know how come the stock launcher (NON TOUCHWIZ) hasn't been put out yet. Yes I know of Launcher pro and others. The sprint ID one that has been removed from the good roms was pretty good. Also Marcuant from the Epic forums has a ICS beta that's awesome and the launcher on it is cool. Anyway to port that or is the Source files from ICS needed to make that happen?

I'm a little confused as to what you are looking for. If you mean the stock Gingerbread launcher (since that is what we are on) there are a handful of them available in the market.
ASOP Launcher. Or the new ICS launcher. Maybe it's a clone but it's the [email protected] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295515 He has no pics but I did flash the rom on a buddies epic and it runs smooth. The launcher doesn't have the bugs that the other clones do.

The launcher works perfectly on our GS2 FYI.

Thanks for the quick responses. I've played with that one before and it's still laggy and the quicklinks on the right doesn't work well. I really just want someone to abstract the launcher out of the sprint id that's stock android so I can use that as my daily. Oh Snap. This one works well. SMS doesnt work.

The one I linked you to is what Marcusant is using in his ICS themed rom. If you wanna use the stock gingerbread launcher, you've already got it. Just clear defaults on TouchWiz launcher and hit home, select it from the menu. Or use the app 'Home Switcher' and select it in there. Done and done.
I love this launcher. Is there any way to reduce the number of screens from 5 down to 3?

Best ICS Rom

PreludeDrew, Kush Deck or JaredTheGreat? Wondering what people are running out of the three ICS roms.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I installed Team Blaze's (Jared) newest ICS last night and was running Drew's prior to. I would say at this point they are almost the same... each one is making improvements... As for my experience... Jared's is solid and I haven't ran into anything broken. There are some things a little buggy (like TTS errors when opening Navigation, but TTS working just fine) but I haven't found anything broken. They are all working on making the camera better and it works on Jareds. These aren't final releases so I am good with what I have! Can't wait until these things get smoothed out as ICS is tight.
Jared The Great all the way baby.
ICS Question
I have been following these ROMS.
At least on the home screen they appear to be still pretty buggy.
I don't know if the MMS is working, the camera, all that stuff.
Just curious if someone can tell me what I need to expect after installing.
I am currently using Synergy non-god mode and hate it. It is SO LAGGY. It takes a good 15 seconds to get the icons to populate my home screen. I need a new rom and was wondering if these were worth switching too.
Thanks all.

Jared's ICS rom has camera [no video or panoramic], mms works, ect. Go for it.
Can't take video? Hmmm...May have to wait a bit longer. Thanks!!

Switch to MIUI. It is the fastest, most customizeable rom out there.
You may not like the no app drawer thing. But i just made a folder and put all the apps not on my screen in there. Now thats my app drawer!

He was asking about ICS not MIUI if I'm reading the first post correctly. MIUI fanboys are as bad as apple fanboys...
I'm running Deck's alpha 5 and it's really solid. Trebuchet is buggy but that's a known issue and the solution is to run Nova instead. It's definitely worth flashing an ICS ROM to get a feel for how they are.
james
I have run both Jared's and Drew's. Both solid build... both buggy as hell. They are still working on them. To be honest... the best one right now will probably be the one with the latest release.
Decks Alpha 5 for me with CoD tweaks. I haven't tried any of the other ones but this one is rock solid for me. There are quirks but any rom has those. Honestly I have better battery life on this then I ever have had before.

Uh yeah i know wut he was asking..i can read too. But ics isnt that great. Its gb with a theme and add that quick app thingy.
MIUI is actually different in looks as well as useability. And Im not a fanboy. It just is the best all around rom. Alot of people dont like the iphone like no app drawer as do i. But once u have one in miui it is by far the best rom available. For sure it is the least laggiest evo rom. And by the way these are facts. And if u disagree u must be a ics fanboy or just a straight up MIUI hater. Bu bye!

Gentlemen, best is predetermined to be biased upon your own preferences; there is no right answer here. Yes, ICS does have some nice features, like improved voice commands, better folder management, ect. And for MIUI yes it is a lil 'iphone' like in essence, but different from all the rest. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you change the launcher, you fix the 'no app drawer' issue, which some people tend not to like.

Yea ur right. There is no right answer. I was just telling the guy on synergy that was laggy. That miui has no lag. And that other guy starts saying im a fanboy, thinking im referring to the OP. When i clearly quoted who i was replying to, and it got me in a **** talking mood. Sorry..my bad
And yea u can install a different launcher, but it takes away the uniform of MIUI, so i just made me a folder on the dock and put all the apps not on my screen in it

Cm 7.2 lockscreen on sense froyo?

Is there a way to have the cm 7.2 lockscreen on a froyo sense ROM? I love that lockscreen but I also love my Rempuzzle sense ROM...
Welcome to the end of your life, hail the oceanborn
Should not, but I think the sense of the beautiful lock screen, although the function is less
Apps
Sadly, replacing the lockscreen itself isn't as easy as flashing a new one in (like you can with the bootscreen). However, a wealth of apps are available that can change the outer look and functionality of your lockscreen (basically, giving you an entire new lockscreen, even if it really isn't). I can't link to anything right now, but searching for lockscreens in the Market should yield plentiful results!

Have you tried Widget Locker? Enable the 5 second rule, it does not lag. Also since it supports widgets , it looks cool
