[Q] Themes and customization - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm still pretty new to all this. I've had my phone rooted for a few months and all I can say is I love this phone so much more now, but I would like to install themes or some other customization's on it. I'm not sure I can just download any theme and flash it to the phone so I need to be pointed in the right direction.
I'm running Warm TwoPointThree - Release One [Sense3.5] and its been very good on my phone. I haven't run into any problems with it, but again I want to theme it or change the look of it a bit.
Any suggestions to point me in the right direction would be great.

Here's a sense 4.0 theme for sense 3.5

Thanks!
So as long as the theme is for a sense 3.5 than I should be ok to use them?

Generally it should. Maybe its just sense in general? Because i was on a sense 1.0 rom that had that clock.

[q]/[req] 2.3 theme on fresh rom

I know that they now have a 2.3 theme for cyanogen 6.1 but is it possible to get a working one for flips/fresh roms.

BUMP. I'd also love to see the Gingerbread theme on a Sense ROM.
+2 for Sense rom
is there any chance of someone doing this? I like most of the features for sense versus aosp and dont mind the speed differences, I dont notice much, but would love a 2.3 theme

Most popular Dinc ROMs/Themes?

I have a Samsung Fascinate, but a friend of mine just rooted his Dinc. I've glanced around these forums, seen a little, but your theme section is a bit cluttered... what are the popular ROMs and Themes for this phone?

As for ROMs, I recommend the "Uber" series of ROMs, as well as CM7 or MIUI. Of course, just because I'm partial to the Uber ROMs doesn't mean there aren't other ROMs out there, look around until your friend finds one he likes
Is Uber around stock? (Fasc has Touchwiz and superclean; what is it for you, Sense?) I know of CM7, and he would reeeeeally hate MIUI.
Uber Gingersense 2.1/3.0 is around stock, but with improvements. some issues due to beta stages but coming along nicely. Sense is stock for us, yes

It all depends and what he is looking for there are froyo, Z Roms stable roms and Gingerbread/ Sense 3.0 roms that are still in beta and some apps like maps and youtube dont work...
I personally would recommend you this roms..

It has some mods, but I haven't seen any recent themes for Sense 1.0 that ships with the Inc.
Aside from CM7 (I'm jealous on how well yours works, btw), what's your most themed ROM? Just to give him colorful options.

As far as sense ROM's go, any of the new ROM's based on Sense 2.1 should be able to use skins. I've used these on some of the new gingersense roms with 2.1/3.0 hybrids. Works just fine.
Skins for HTC Sense 2.1 roms
Whoa, you guys can run skins? Whaaaaat? That's awesome!

TBH, I think MIUI with LauncherPro or GO Launcher EX (both free in the Market, LauncherPro Plus is I think $5) is the most skinnable. There are LOADS of MIUI themes, and it can use all the AOSP kernels and it's rock solid stable to boot
my personal favorites
Froyo Roms:
Redemptive rEVOlution
Incredibly Re-Engineered
also liking the new Nils Business GingerSense...pretty stable for me so far.
Looking forward to the doubleshot and sense 3.0 roms that are in various stages of alpha and beta testing. I've tried them and still too buggy for me
Look up the theme "honeycream" its in the market and it works with cm7's built in theme chooser, its a great looking theme and i highly suggest it.

As for a blue style honeycomb theme, this one is pretty good, not to brag of course XD
Looks like he wants to wait for the 2.3 update... you guys got any themes for stock? (Sorry to ask. Fasc, someone put a list together, it's muuuuuch easier.)

not completly.. the 3.0 has live wallpaper thingy and weather service on there lockscreen.. thats what i ment for the htc hero
Umm.. It's really unlikely, we might be able to get some apps but I doubt it. Sense 3.0 OS very heavy on the CPU, I'll look into it though when I have the time.

Won't the libs and res be a bit awkward as well?
NO CHANCE
Guys if you want Sense 3.0 buy a new phone. The OS is to heavy for the little hero to run on. For the moment even Sense 2.1 runs like hell on the hero, imagine 3.0. If you guys wanna give a help with sense 2.1 find a way to reduce the number of home screens from 7 to 3 .
I'm guessing that you can do that under Sense, 'stefpaul'

sense 2.1 is fine LoL - HTC released it for the hero after all, it's plenty fast. try elelinux's 2.1 sense rom, it's outstanding. no need to cut down any resources.
but sense 2.2 and 2.3 are not running all that well - 2.3 just is barely fast enough when overclocked and still lags at times and certainly runs out of memory all the time on the hero. but it's at least usable if you're careful how you set it up.
3.0 ain't gonna happen. and honestly, 2.3 sense really ain't gonna happen either, not in a really smooth workable state. but I doubt that's jsut the fault of sense - AOSP and CM 2.3 roms also have huge memory requirements and big slowdowns and poor screen redraw speeds in some situations....
Wrong thread sorry. But I think this idea wouldn't be easy to implement.
Theres a brilliant facebook chat app with a great widget, I personally would love it if this could be ported. I wish i had the knowledge to at least try it myself
yes please port the facebook chat widget and more apps.
You know, Google is a great tool when you want to learn something. If you want stuff ported, why not try yourself?

[Q] What is the Best stable Sense 3.0 Rom?

what is the best sense 3.0 rom? and where do you find it.. and is there instructions for it as well..
thank you again all.. i am learning.. it takes time .. and i appreciate all your knowledge..
OK there's no "best" rom because each developer is different and every person like different things so you just have to do your homework start downloading and flashing different roms and you will see the one that's the "best" for you.
All of the as far as I know have instructions on the first page of the thread

Unrevoked3 or Unrevoked Forever? I've never messed with the latter but all it does is switch S-On to S-Off.
http://unrevoked.com/recovery/
Use caution and do some research before jumping right into all of this hacking and modding. You can really mess your phone up if you don't know what you're doing. (Not saying you don't, this is a "just in case" lol)
Also, I have only used it on PC but I doubt there's much of a difference.
I was wondering if the Sense 3.0 roms that have Gingerbread, are they using the same Gingerbread that we got from the OTA? Or are they using a ported Gingerbread?

I believe they are using a ported GB since most ROMs were made prior to the OTA. They may update their ROMs with the official one over time.

I think we were all nervous our first time, but it's really not that hard. Here's a video tutorial. Granted, he's using a Mac lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TLKhFlYbLo
Search YouTube or Google for other tutorials if you want to make sure.
I was wondering if most of these ROMs could even handle 3.0 or 3.5 on the Incredible, like does it lag or force close? Because I heard to run 3.0 good you need to have a Dual-Core processor.

The ROMs with 3.0 ported from the Desire run very smooth. Other than that they run a little laggy, but not bad.
I'm running Sense 3.5 ported from the Bliss at the moment. It's not too laggy but not as snappy as it could be had it been made for a single core device. There's a 3.5 leak which was built for a 1.5ghz phone floating around that may spawn some new ROMs for our beloved Incredible.

The list just may not be updated yet.
As for the two linked to, I have used both and found that Desired Inc runs smoother than Nils' Business Gingersense 3.0. HOWEVER, I would strongly recommend you check out Nils' Business Gingersense 2.1/3.0. It has elements of both versions of Sense and is amazing. It's FAST, has a ton of features, stable, and is very pleasing to the eyes. By far my favorite ROM.

His 2.1/3.0 hybrid has 3.0 widgets and apps whereas the ROM itself is built on a 2.1 base. (I think, don't quote me on it) Either way, it's a damn good ROM.
I've never used Ace Revolution. Nearly everything Joelz puts out gets high praise so you can try it. Some have reported losing root but that can be fixed by restoring an old backup.

The real Sense 3.0 lockscreen requires the 3.0 framework (Sense 3.0), which isn't ported for your phone. So it's pretty much impossible aside from that app.
