AuraxTSense without any transparency whatsoever?

Hello all, I've been flashing my roms for a long time now, and I'd like to think I'm not much of a newbie here, but there is one thing that is ruining me. I've asked on the thread where the rom has been posted, but no answers.
The Rom in question is AuraxTSense 7.6.1.
Is there a way to get rid of all transparency and just have it look like Sense? (not that I want sense. LauncherPro is my cup of tea) but the transparency on the keyboard, the transparent dock at the top and the dropdown menu looking grey isn't to my fancy. So is there a way to get rid of all transparency? I haven't tried flashing "original theme" from the first page yet, but I will do if it gets rid.
Running NexTSense v6.0 atm and would love to upgrade to the newest version as I do like what Neo is doing with his roms. They are stable and not so battery hungry (that'll be another day to find out the best radio).
Thanks,
Dan

flash the original theme will get rid of the expressobar, flash a diffrent taskbar will get rid of the transparant taskbar and notifiction pull down, and use adb to remove and push the original htc_ime.apk to get the old one back, you could also make your own htc_ime mod at www.gimpsta.com and use that instead

Well flashing the original theme will get rid of it and return theme to stock sense(not espresso), but he states it is for 5.0, so if he have changed anything else in the .apk's it flashes, it might change other things. but i would say go ahead, make a nandroid and try it. Alternatively you could pull the the following from 6.0 and add them to a zip file:
- framework-res.apk
- com.htc.resources.apk
- Rosie.apk
- HtcLockScreen.apk
Those are the one's included in the original theme zip. (edit: also many of the widgets are edited, if you want to change back, pull those from 6.0 as well)
Btw. i love the transparency, and i'm using the rom myself. Only thing missing is transparrent message area, when pulled down. For the keyboard. Just use the "HTC ime mod" which is also included

Cheers for your help guys. I'm gonna check both of them out. Making my own keyboard seems a great idea because I have big thumbs and always hit the . button and would like to get rid of the language. Would be fun times. I do like HTC_IME Mod too tbh, flawless!

Well, I'd just like to confirm that all this worked. I got the AuraxTSense 7.6.1 and NexTSense 6.0 and took all the files out of the 6.0, put them in to a zip file with all of AuraxTSense 7.6.1 and flashed it (after doing Nandroid just incase).
Only thing is the Keyboard didn't get rid of the transparency, but seeing as their is the Multitouch Keyboard, as well as HTC_IME Mod, it's fine!

now this rom has this new file overlay system, you might just be able to replace the htc_ime.apk with the stock one using a file explorer

Sense dialer

Hello, I've been messing about with different roms for a while, and particularly like the 2.3 Roms, but miss the sense dialler, would love to have the apk for it and install it with a 2.3 build.

Cancel, I have just extracted it from a sense rom, having a bit of a dim evening.

ummm - so how did you do it then? I've got as far as finding the htcdialer apk but installation fails. Does it need to be installed in a different way or alongside other stuff?
Thanks,
Jon

[Q] Adding apps to ROM

Pitbull_Raven said:
(...) I am trying to add my most used apk's to the ROM so they'll install upon flashing. I added all my apk files to system/apps dir as told, but after flash and first boot, only 1 of the 19 apps is present. What am I missing?

Hi guys and gals! If anyone with experience out there could help out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Trying to add to Redux 1.2.

Not a DEV or anything but i have flashed many roms in my time but i can tell you this, from my experience i can tell you that i assume there is some kind of file size/type limitation when you add apps to a ROM as i have attempted adding poweramp, ADW EX, mybackup root, file manager (from AOSP builds) and a few other apps that i use to the ROM but it will only install rom manager, mybackup root, file manager and the balance will FC each time i attempt to launch the app and if i want to use it i have to install the app again.
The only flawless solution is the method the RC team is using on their current RCMixS ROMS.
That is heavy coding on another level.

Nope. It will not work (saying without checking it).
But you can always backup the things and check anything.

Tip how make Gmaps usable
anyone got an issue with new gmaps on CM7 stable or nightly. The best way we can do is delete data and uninstal gmaps ten download attached apk and instal it. (then don't upgrade) leave at this version.
Is the older version of Gmaps 5.0 but works well on CM7 or other Gbreed roms.
Your choice to use the newest one with font issue and laggy or use older without all features that have new version but work smooth and fonts are clear.
I hope that help some users.
Sorry for my bad english.

Good info really.
Font is very clear and even the scrolling is very good. This should be the temporary option for those who worry about Google maps.

Thank you very much, you're a life saver.
I use google maps on a daily basis.

Using the old version of the maps does it. Thanks for the suggestion and attached file.

What features is lost in this version compared with new one? Is map cache available in this version?

Did anyone check the maps font issue in 2.2 sense custom roms. I think it was there in sense roms too. Just checked a sense rom.
Maps font issue maybe not the issue with cm7 as everyone is thinking.

I reinstalled the stock rom and am on the latest maps and I don't have any issues with the fonts.

The best way to make Gmaps clear ans usefull on CM7 is faind a way how we can extract Gmaps from stock rom and create .APK
If anyone can do this Gmaps will work well on newest version
the difference name of file is on CM 7 5.6.0 gmm-android-google on 2.2 stock is 5.6.0 gmm-android-htc probably if we got 5.6.0 gmm-android-htc then if we update to newest version we got a tweaked version by htc to work well on low resolution screens.
I'm interesting the problem occurs in othert low res android device like motorola flipout and some others

Answering my own question: no, this gmaps doesn't have map cache. Its too old.
I think that the problem with the fonts is related with 3D buildings on maps. Maybe this is the cause of lags on scroll, too.
I dont need 3D buildings, because I dont see any reason to it, but map cache is important to me. I'll try to find an intermediate version with cache and without 3d, and lets see...
Edit: My bad. 5.0 already have 3d buildings and cache also. Maybe its related with screen size.

I tried to install the older version of google maps but I don't manage to make it work. After I installed it the application stopped unexpectedly.
What can I do ?
EDIT:
I solved it, something strange (at least for me) happened, I was unable to uninstall the previous version 5.8 even with root uninstaller. I then browse with file manager in system/app and try to delete the map file but some problem can't delete it. Then I installed Titanium Backup and converted google maps into an app, moved it to SD and then uninstall it with success. I install the 5.0 and now I have a smooth app
maybe this will help somebody.

[Q] Question about CyanogenMod 7.2

Hi all,
I'm a beginner in the world of smartphone, but i'm interested by installing a custom ROM on my phone, especially CyanogenMod 7.2.
But i saw that apart from ROM, there is also custom Kernel...
My question is: If il install CyanogenMod 7.2 by phiexz, i have to install also the custon kernel developed by himself? Or his kernel is included with the rom?
Thanks you and sorry for my bad english

The kernel is included in the rom, you don't need to install it again.

Thanks you very much!

The kernel is simply for other Roms. Supposedly, you can use the kernel with the stock Rom, but i could never get it working.
Also, before you go flashing roms, get yourself a copy of Clockworkmod Recovery. It's saved my bacon more than once.

You should probably create a new thread for this question, as it doesn't have any relation to the original post... Makes it far easier to keep track of issues, and help provided.

It is just you.
At least widgets are working for me (didn't try that "3d weather" one, but others are working fine).
Make sure you didn't force install it to SD - widgets and launchers won't work when placed to SD.
