Can someone please help me find this APK I would like it in JAC's 1.3 but don't want to have to flash all over again and run into nagging bootloops

...u cant get hero widgets on a cupcake build....

JACxHERO 1.3, I'm very aware thanks

if you found it on a rom, it should be inside as an apk file.

I thought you were refering to JACxRomv1.3, i didnt realize JACxHEROSkiv1.3 was out my bad.

I'm so sorry. I never thought that the APKS were in the ZIP files....... the more you know. Thank you

If the theme says you have to use ahome or something, then yes you do, but ones like mine, which are MetaMorphs, you just apply them via the MetaMorph app and it makes it perm on your phone. Other types of themes are flash updates, again, making it perm on your phone. Major diff on MM and flash themes are MM only affects the pngs, where flash updates changes the whole apk so you could lose custom stuff you did to it before.
Just make sure you NAND before applying anything just on the off chance you dont like it or it messes your phone up.

I cant find many themes for metamorph any suggestions where to find?

There are 2 I have posted here that I know work for CM builds and Sprint Ports. As for others, look in the Hero thread. There are tons of them there that shold work as well. Trial and error is what I did to find out which ones worked for me and which ones didnt.

[DEV ADVICE NEEDED] Considering Casual ROM-building

Let me explain what I mean by "casual". I've come to find that I always end up removing stuff from custom ROMs that I don't like/don't use and end up with something much much better.
With NFX's permission (should he give it) I'd like to make a custom ROM based on my slimmed down approach, one that left me with tons of free space, lots of free RAM, great battery life, and smooth operation. I'm looking at the ROM right now, and I'm wondering; is there anything special I need to know about adding my own apks to be preinstalled with the ROM? I'd like to add Fancy Widget and LauncherPro since I stopped using the Sense Launcher. My ideal setup is one where the app is recognized by the market so that it can be updated as and when needed. Also, what can I do to ensure that LauncherPro is the default launcher?
I'd love to get into this. I'm not big on code editing but have no issue with doing so when needed, can anyone nudge me in the right direction?
Update #1: My first attempt failed . I was using Nfinite's Odexed NFX Rom. I tried to just change around the apps in the data/app/ folder. Also attempted to delete all the HTC Sense Widgets beforehand. (I do this after install, but I wanted to do it before.) Should I not be working with an odexed ROM, and is there some sort of signature process that I need to be using?

Pretty sure you need deodexed.

Search for avabox on these forums. It has the zip signing tool to make the zip flashable after editing it. And many other helpful tools

Like some else said you'll need the deodexed rom. Also if your altering the rom for personal purposes there is no need to ask nfinite... if you post the rom then you'll need to ask and give props.
Next you need some kind of rom manager tools so that you can sign and zip align your apk and have a flashable after you make your changes. maybe read threw the rom cooking guide on the hero wiki page also.

You most definitely what an odexed ROM. Its been a while since I messed with it, but i think you will want to place apps you want updated in /data/app. As for the default launcher, it should ask which one you want as default when you first boot into the ROM.

@[email protected] Confusion. A few people above have said I need deodexed?

The only problem you will run into with odexed vs deodexed is changes to any jar files within an apk on system. Only really applies to framework level edits. Things like removing haptic or rotary lock screen or battery percentage mods, etc.

I meant to type deodexed. I was so tired and doing ten things at once. Didn't even reread what I was posting.

Ah. Nah, the only thing I'd love to experiment with is to swap out images and png files. The functionality of the ROM and its inner workings are fine . Assuming that I can remove all the HTC widgets and a few of the apps I won't be using (using LP, so Sense Widgets are unneeded), and that I can set a default launcher, and perhaps mess around with all the status bar icons/button images, that's all I want to do

You will need deodexed

You can always re-Odex it afterwards.
I assume you've realized this, as you have a stable odexed ROM out, but I'm putting it up for reference's sake. Don't want someone reading the thread and getting the wrong idea.

[ROM] Stock Gingersense

Stock Gingersense Debloated (For now)
http://www.multiupload.com/NF7XM73HV3
i have removed MANY useless apps. tell me if i have forgotten anything."
as i have time i will try to update this but im really new to roms so i might need help.
Baised off of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087077

This has already been done. Liberation ROM by jaykresge here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087268
Unless you wanted add your own flavor or something

yah i think once i get down how to do it i will add my own flavor but for now i was also thinking of ADDING some apps (rom manager ect.) to make it easier. as i said this is my first rom though.

I think someone should make the stock gingersense with the new 3.0 lockscreen. The new beta gingersense 2.1/3.0 are laggy do to the higher demand on RAM

ill try that. i already deleted some of the APK's but ill see if i can get the 3.0 lockscreen working. thanks for the suggestion

You should give it a try

ok i just tried adding it. im doing a backup then i will see how it works.
EDIT: nvm i dound what i did wrong... i had it all in an extra folder XD

Its kinda hard to know whats wrong with your file. It would be easier to trouble shoot if you gave your steps step by step that you took to make/compile this. Without looking at your file I could take two guesses. 1. Its not zipped properly. 2. Your update-script is messed up somewhere. Check those. Then move forward from there.
Note: If you are using CWM3+ on your test phone then you will have to use edify scripting.

sucessfuly flashed it... booting right now and ill tell you my results
No go on the lockscreen. it just booted as vanilla.

This would be my suggestion. I like the 3.0 lock screen, but it seems to be a memory hog.
What I'd like to see in a 2.1 ROM
-Vanilla lockscreen.
-3.0 Notification bar with slight transparency - white.
-Lots of cool stock looking wallpapers and any other LWP if they don't lag.
-Our KB, not the one with arrows.
Just an over all smooth stock rom.

This is a 1.0 ROM. And to get vanilla in 2.1 go menu>settings>display>stock android lockscreen. Also, the arrows one is in 3.0.

The 3.0 lockscreen will likely never work on DInc GingerSense, unless your name is IHTFP69. It's just incompatible with Sense 1.0.

yea i figured that out... i changed the lockscreen APK and it put in in a bootloop

[Q] How to make your own HTC Skins/Themes

Is it possible to make your own HTC skins/themes and if yes how exactly?
Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried editing sense themes since.. FOREVER ago, since things like the htc hero / sapphire / dream "were in"
What I did back then was open up the rom file you download, and in it you'll see a bunch of stuff and go into system\app\ and modify to your liking!
I just took a quick look at a sense rom and it appears that "rosie.apk" is still there. IF things haven't changed as much.. that Should be your main launcher.
So what youcould do is open that via winrar and extract images and stuff out.. then edit it!
Other things like the status bar, should be in framework-res.apk (which should be in framework instead of /apps/)
I've only modded my themes using roms from aosp or vanilla so I don't nkow sense too well.. However this should give you a basic understanding! and the more you wanna edit, the more .apk files you wanna open! good luck

On a similar note, I am trying to modify android with customised sounds (lock/unlock/key press etc) and having some issues.
I have directly tried to place the .ogg files into the following path within android itself using droid explorer but that didnt seem to work.
The path i have been placing it is within the following:
...\system\media\audio\ui
Has anyone managed to successfully do this either with a working rom or pre flashing, in which case could give me some pointers on how to do this?
Thanks

am using go desktop...
