Hi, i know we have a lot of mods for various roms like runny and arhd, my question is..can we use these mods on other roms that use the same sense etc,
I only ask because i know its luck of the draw if they do,for example i downloaded an ics theme for runny that was for another rom, the original theme seemed to leaved when even a small change was done in rctweaks, with this ics theme, the theme remains and is sweet..
Basically a long winded way..
Do the mods work on other roms because of the sense version,asop etc
or is it specific to the framework as i know when you use the kitchen it is based on that
Thanks in advance,probably is a stupid question yes
I don't work on any ROM's. Other than for me.
Rule of thumb
Sense specific mods won't work on AOSP/CM7.
CM7/AOSP specific mods won't work on Sense.
Backup & Flash, the only way for sure to know.

Hi andy,yep i understand you cant mod cm to sense and vice versa etc, but i mean
for example,ive got a theme for runny...but im running virtuious,both running sense 3.5.
some work for each other and some dont?
just curious to why
There could be a million & 1 reasons.
Framework differences, Sense version, kernel, installed system apps. The list could go on.
Your best bet is to make a backup, flash/apply the mod and see if it works. If not, restore.
Lol I use that method a lot, ill keep doing so

Does anyone know how to tell if a theme will work on a specific froyo rom. Specifically, most devs say if a theme works on an AOSP rom, but what about Froyo + sense roms? Does any 2.1 sense rom work on a Froyo-sense rom?
Most likely not, but it kind of depends on the extent to which they themed it. Best bet is, if you find a theme you REALLY want. Nandroid, flash the theme, see whats what. If it works, woo! If not, well, no harm no foul right?
Hi,
Is it possible to port the cyanagon mod settings to sense roms as opendesire and defrost have? Ive looked at the update and it seems to an apk file, so would it just be as simple as installing it?
Not sure if this is the right section but it will get the most answers here and im sure other people will want it.
For anyone who hasnt used it before it gives you music controls on the lock screen as well as other goodies.
Im thinking about trying this on the psychosis rom which has rosie removed.
Thanks in advance!
i pushed cmparts and odparts to /system/app, but it doesnt work because the settings menu are different.
Yeah thought that might happen, thanks for trying anyway!
their kernels are different right?
don't think it'll work
CMParts is "just" an interface to many functionality on cm6 rom
this function can be ported to any AOSP rom (this is already done by OpenDesire and Defrost) but is not possible to port on closed source rom like HTC Sense

And it has nothing to do with the kernel.
Im not a noob with rooting and different roms and stuff. But is there anyway to take parts of roms and combine them and make a personalized custom rom with everything you want on it? like for example can i take the mms.apk from a sense 3.0 rom and put in on the CM7 rom or an ultimate droid rom?
Definitely possible, .apk's should be easy to transfer over.
This is off the top of my head, but you should be able to extract the ROM .zip file, find the .apk you want, then just put it on your SD card and run it using a file manager or terminal emulator (harder to use).
As always I would suggest you fully backup, when you're doing stuff like this it's experimental, so it's very possible the mms.apk will not play well with your current ROM and may force close. If that's the case, it may need other files to run (those files would be in the original ROM) and that would become a project that I wouldn't be able to help you with. You would then need to really, merge those two ROM's together in order to get that .apk to work.
Even so, I'm not sure on how possible it is as some manufacturers like HTC make it extremely difficult to use their app's without having an HTC Sense ROM.
Yea i tried that with root explorer and it didnt work the apk wouldnt install im now guessing thats because it was a sense app and isnt compatible with my rom. But yea i was looking into finding out how to combine roms more in depth like that. but i guess thats out of both our leagues. thanks for the help though
Take a Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid ROM and run the Senseless script, use search to find it. See if that works for Sense 3.0 Messaging on AOSP feel

I wrote a desensitize script for SkyRaider 4 (Sense 1.0) found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13667433&postcount=8499
I have NOT tried it on a sense 2.1/3.0 rom, but it will work as long as the file names are the same. Do a nandroid backup before you try it though, just in case!

Sense MMS apks will definitely not work on CM7 because it needs dependencies from the HTC frameworks, I would try what others have suggested and try to get a Sense rom and in other words "DeSense" it by removing some of the HTC apps. You can also try running CM7 and installing a 3rd party SMS app from the Market (like GO SMS Pro) if you are not happy with the Stock Android SMS app.

ok is there a way i can desensitize the rom on my computer or i have to do it on my phone? and now my next question more into how to combine roms is say for example i like the sense 3.0 unlock screen is there anyway that i could use that as my unlock screen but then keep my ultimate droid rom the way it normally is?
Not sure about desensitizing but I do know you cannot use a sense 3.0 lockscreen on an aosp rom. Although if you're wanting a fancy lockscreen, I'd recommend MIUI, or widgetlocker (works on any rom).
Hi guys,
I am confused with all those fancy looking ROMs.
You are good in coding, building, cooking but still not sure about themeing...
I have an idea and I wish to ask you to try to make ROMs that way:
1. cook the ROMs in classic look and easy to see and understand (white text on black menu or something) just the basic theming and give an option to update for another look...
2. when you are building sense ROM please make it the way sense look like not with some orange icons or percents with transparent menu upon a light wallpaper where you cant see anything without hardening you eyes.
3. building Cyan is the same, make it stock and give an option to theme it.
4. do not put some extra software in the ROMs, that way you just got where everybody wanna go away from (HTC way) We all want to remove the bloatware with the stock ROMs but stock ROMs instead of giving us basic option to install what we need give us more and diferent other bloatware
========================================
anyway, I am posting this because I am looking on all those Sense3.5 threads. I don't have enough time ATM to build one miself the way I like it to be, so I am searching for stock stable kernel, basic clasic sense3.5 look with sense3.5 functionality, stock icons and stock boot animation and etc. but I couldn't find such. every sense 3.5 rom is moded somehow, why you are using sense3.5 in the ROMs name when you use just few setings from sens and everything else is moded?!?
I do not want to be rude at all!!! you all have my possitive feelings, thats a wonderful forum with more wonderful members...just...please listen to me and when you build please add an option for the members to choose whether to update through a custom recovery the look of the ROM, give us basic look sense, ADW or MIUI ROMs!
Best Regards

Most basic 3.5 for WFS, use UOT Kitchen to change the battery to stock, its clearier than clear

It would be nice to have one with the new european RUU but I think that's a lot of work...
I think I'm getting all this stuff straight, but sometimes it seems like the more I read the more confused I get.
I know I could just try it out and see, but before I spend 2 hours getting dirty looks from my gf because I have my face buried in the phone, I would like to know I'm on the right track.
ROMs found in the "Original Android Developement" forum:
CM9/10 - these are experimental nightly builds, probably have bugs and probably not the best choice for a daily ROM
ROMs that say they are based on CM9/10/AOKP/MIUI/AOSP - these are more stable ROMs with parts cherry-picked from CM9/10/AOKP sources and are more likely to be suitable for daily use
I can use themes that say "a custom ROM like CyanogenMOD needed" (quote taken from the description of "Arctic Green" on the play store, I think this ROM will be refreshing, like a cool breeze on my balls) and they will have a theme chooser in settings
I need to flash GApps (If I want them)
I can still run another launcher, like Go or APEX
EDIT ADDITION: I still use stock radio/modem/firmware/AIO zips
ROMs found in the "Android Developement" forum:
With TW or without, Odexed or Deodexed these are basically modified stock (samsung based?) ROMs with no copyright issues which is why there is no need for a seperate GApps zip
I can (usually) only use themes and mods specifically made for the ROM I'm using (I understand that sometimes there are exceptions, lika a blazer theme might work on FreeGS3 and vice-cersa)
I can't use themes or mods that say "a custom ROM like CyanogenMOD needed"
Do I understand the differences? Any additions/clarifications are definately appreciated.

CM9 and 10 are currently in nightly stage, but that's not permanent. There will be a final, stable version of CM10 when all the bugs are squashed. As for whether they'll be good for your daily ROM, it depends on your needs. Most things in CM10 work fine as it is, but some things may be broken. Whether the broken stuff actually affects you depends on what you need your phone to do.
ROMs based on CM10 are usually not any less buggy. In fact, they will include any CM10 bugs plus whatever creeps in via the additional code, so they will most likely be more buggy than CM10.
Yes, you should be able to use the Play Store themes in Theme Chooser. Yes, you need to flash Gapps. Yes, you can use whichever launcher you like. Yes, you use the stock radio (not sure what you mean by all-in-one zips).
The ROMs in the normal development section are based on the stock OEM ROM or they are ports from other phones/ROMs. They usually don't require Gapps, not because of copyright issues, but because they are based on the stock ROM. The themes may be compatible across Touchwiz ROMs based on the same firmware, but check the theme's thread first. CM and other AOSP themes/mods are NOT compatible with Touchwiz ROMs.
I hope this clears up some things.

It does, thank you.
I will be changing the OP to reflect your response and any additional info posted here later tonight so, hopefully, this will be a useful thread for other noobs.
