[Q] T-mobile theme chooser - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development

I AM SORRY FOR POSTING SO MUCH THREADS LATELY, BUT THESE ARE JUST A FEW PRESSING QUESTIONS AND SINCE THE ACTIVITY IN THE KAISER ANDROID FORUM HAS PRETTY MUCH STOPPED. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY WAY OF GETTING MY MESSAGE OUT AND ABOUT
So I want to use themes for the Kaiser since I don't like the stoch way GB looks anymore. But almost every time when I look at a theme in the android market it is said that in order to install the theme: you need to have t-mobile theme chooser. And since the rom, which I use, scootter1556 Gingerbreab 2.3 RS3 doesn't support the t-mobile theme chooser I am unable to do so!
BUT if I have read correctly scooter's build is BASED on the cyanogenmod 7 source AND cyanogenmod 7 DOES SUPPORT the t-mobile theme chooser! So is their anyway (I suppose that the framework and things of scooter's android build largely is the same as the official CM? ) to get t-mobile's theme chooser for this rom?
Did Scooter just omit the theme chooser, because it was not necessary in his opinion or is it just not possible to port this to our device (whether or not is it feasible for our device is another questions: I just want to know how to do it or maybe someone can do it for me?)
**I have "ported" the OFFICIAL CM 7 rom from the HTC Wildfire to work on my HTC Kaiser, but it just is to unstable to use from day to day basis (with and without the default theme)**

Did you try this one?

For me it looks working fine, although I don't need or use it.
Good luck and happy testing.

Any Chance of a collab of Stericson Lockscreen on the latest and future JacHero Roms?

im loving the progression and functionality that the polished lockscreen of Stericson's has. However, it is only compatible with Cyanogen Rom's and i am happy using Jacheroski 2.0, being very fluid and responsive.
is there any chance of being able to have the separate lockscreen on jachero roms anytime soon? i searched around but couldnt find a definitive answer.
sorry to burst ur bubble, but Stericson lockscreen is only for non hero roms
aww
theres gotta be a way of doing it..soo it cannot act as a theme and be pushed into the framework? any chance JAC can support this feature?
it's tied into cyans source, stericson has provided his source on his git so it can be ported to other roms but he's not going to support it. Since it's tied into the framework of a build I doubt it could be ported to hero with out some major modification, or without making it into a stand alone apk, and very highly doubtful that it could be done without having the htc source.

Gingerbread sense is out - who will be the first to port it to our devices?

The version for HUASHAN (HD2ish Chines phone from what I briefly read...) is out and I came across a thread where you can actually download the dump files...
Here's the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955919
I'm really wondering when the first modded ROM will be available for our beloved Desire
Right now I can't decide whether to use a Froyo Sense ROM or a Minimal AOSP Gingerbread one... This would be the ROM that would make it a lot easier for me. I lev how Gingerbread is behaving (Right now using redux). It's darn quick.
A video about the new sense and its features. Not a big deal but gingerbread beneath it would be a big deal...
http://phandroid.com/2011/02/15/htc-sense-2-1-gingerbread-overview-video/
Hopefully someone is or will be working on this.
Already had a look at the file and although some HTC apps are there there are no widgets so don't know how complete it is. It's a test build so likely to be buggy anyway
Plus this is already in a thread in General

[Q] MIUI ROM Port

Hi Devs,
Can Anyone work on porting MIUI rom In wildfire as I saw one of my friends using MIUI rom in his Defy and m very much excited to use it in wildfire.
i want it to but its not possible due to hardware limitations on the wildfire ;[
Not going to happen for several reasons. Its closed source, and, it needs pretty powerful hardware (Which is why even no MDPI Phone has it yet)
humm. i agree with 3xeno. the only possible way i think is to make an miui theme for theme chooser.containig almost all the graphics of miui. but it will also be a hard task, obtaining miui original icons,resizing, theam building etc.

I've been hoping for this for ages, it'd be great but the phone wont run it
Sent by fire!
Ya i agree with all but i have seen that in galaxy 3 the MIUI rom was ported sucessfully which is also an LDPI and ARM v6 phone.
Is that a full fledged proper MIUI Port? I somehow doubt it. Anyway, you can see the level of activity at the Wildfire Forums yourself to know that even if porting of MIUI was possible, there would be few who would actually do it.
Besides, Galaxy 3 has a GPU, unlike the Wildfire. (Although I must admit I am surprised to see it working on a non HDPI device, I'll have to dig a bit more on it)
I hv seen it thats y i m saying dat . obviously it is not so easy but if devs can give it a try.
Or else one can develop a MIUI theme for theme chooser.
MIUI Themes for Theme Chooser are available. You can refer them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189723
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102755
Dont forget though, they are 'just' themes.
What 3xeno said.
You could also try the translated tenscent launcher in the android themes section for the full miui feel, or qq launcher which has an app drawer.
But I don't like them cause they don't have many features and are useless lol, not to mention the laaaag, which is why I'm sticking with real miui for now.

they dont support LDPI, do they?
Explicitly, No. But they work just like all the other Non-LDPI ones do.

u guessed it right, its not a full port. That guy who's a friend of mine (an IITian) has ported the launcher and 9 lockscreen mode only and that too from SGS. Its called MIUIwiz. He edited the following files (framework.jar, services.jar, android.policy.jar, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk).
If anybody [maybe kevin, man i loved ur gingerblur theme on cm7 ] from ur forum is interested to port the launcher only (which itself is awsum), i can ask akash to give u the source code. but i doubt it will look gud on 125 pixel density.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133407
@3xeno: galaxy3 has FIMG gpu which is samsung's own gpu and they refused us to give the source of FIMG gpu source saying that its their own property. But it has a better pixel density than wildfire.
And Shiv seen the MIUI rom on my defy which is HDPI.

[Q] [IDEA] CM9 Base with Sense 4.0

Hi All
Is it possible to create rom based on CM9 but with HTC Sense 4.0 ?
I'm impressed by Cyanogen performance but I love Sense too, partly becouse of it I had buy HOX...
If I'm right Sense is just a launcher plus widgets so why don't cook it with great CM9 base ?
Thanks for replies
not sure this is possible due to different source code

You are not right. Sense is not just launcher. Its integrated into the system.
And threads like these are many I believe.
And I doubt this would be allowed by HTC or licensing. Also it defeats the purpose of CM9.
Rather then this go the other way.
What do you like on CM9 thats purely on CM9? If its some widgets get someone to port them out if its not already done.
I think its possible like current miui bases they are based on sense this means sense framework is included and can run sense applications and with miui frameworks and other files status bar lock screen themes and others from miui.

Awesome idea!
Toga! Toga!
so basically your asking for ICS "pure" with a sense launcher?
instead of the stock ICS with a sense launcher?
it would defeat the purpose of CM since the idea is a more "pure" google experience, adding a sense launcher effectively turns it into a sense rom and any benefit is then lost, we already have many of these roms available now.
It's a bit like saying can i have a fat free piece of cheesecake please im on a diet oooh and can have a gallon of ice cream to go with it.
I'm asking for ultra-performance sense rom.
All bases from HTC are slow and inperfect, CM9 with some linaro particles is just sick fast.
This all "purity" of CM is logical , why they should create own launcher - it require tons of logical and visual development (read. Money).
Sense is most advanced enviroment for android which HTC is creating for some 7years ? (including win-mo)
Why don't combine two best android experiances
CM performance and Sense visual quality.
I hope some dev will read this thread and when soon CM will out of nighty we can all enjoy best rom ever.
I have a major doubt about CM9 here. Why are there so many CM9's in the development section? When i had my nexus s there was only 1 cm9 thread started by the official maintainer of the device!
Furthermore which among the various CM threads is the actual one from the CM team with the official maintainer?
Or hasn't CM officially supported our device? I read that the SGS3 got official CM9 nightly builds.. Do we also have official nightly builds?

[Q] Theming

I have a question about thems. I am not a developer. I don't know anything about themes, I do understand that it does take time and hard work to do. So my question is....Why doesn't anyone theme anymore? I have a Captivate I897, every one used to theme on almost every rom. I have a SGS3 very little to no themes. I see so far the same is true for Nexus 7(2013). Is it that it is to much work or the developers just don't want to do it. I do like themes that are build into a rom. I not only pick a rom to flash but what it does and does not have but also on how it looks.
i am kind of a themer and it is not hard you just need to be good with photoshop and plugins but it takes a hell lot of time people are getting lazy and about S3 yeah just 1 theme for the whole 4.2.2 sad to see as for the new nexus well its a new device give it some time and themeing section will become decent but built into Rom idk about that developers are not themers they can't have all that time on themeing as they need to work on the dev part of the Rom more
