frankly: this sucks big time. the theme section is so crowded with themes for all the dream and magic and cyanogen mods, our few hero themes disappear. looking into the theme thread i can only find one(!) theme for the hero on the first page. also the titles are not always indicating clearly for what device/rom the themes were made.
seriously guys, at least give us a subforum for hero themes. i didn't see the problem with posting them here (in the thread called "themes and apps"), are you really expecting me to go through hundreds of themes for the dream, to find the hero themes? come on...
Agree, sucks....
Whats wrong with having the themes for the hero in the thread entitled "HERO Themes and Applications"
It needs to have every post title changed to show what device/ROM its for before its usable.
I agree too, even with edited titles, it's still going to be messy and we'll end up missing most of the themes for Hero as they will just get lost in the flood of G1 themes
I have to agree as-well, the hero themes does not work with any other phone anyway
This sucks...
Yes, it sucks!
I did my first Themes and now nobody can find it.
Have to agree lumping all the themes from different devices together is a big mistake.
I would suggest, that either:
- The themes be left here on the "HTC Hero Themes and Applications";
- Or, that subforums for the phone models be made on the "Android Themes" section.
Agreed, this is a horrible way to compile everything. Only reason I am even posting this is so the mod team can see they made a mistake by the number of people posting about it.
Agreed.
The Hero and G1 themes should be separate.
The G1 has been out a lot longer and it floods the forum (I should know I had one! )
Seriously mods, please rethink your strategy.
Its bad, and its not fair seeing upcoming themes for other devices too lol
While I understand your frustation here, the point is that there is no point in keeping the themes in seperate places.
Almost every theme will run on any rooted phone. Therefore they are being meshed together. Now, Like I've said, Your theme devs, will need to label their posts accordingly so you can sort through them quickly.
For instance, a hero theme would look like this:
[Hero Theme] *title of theme here*
Its a simple thing to do.
This is a benefit to the entire community to do this. Which is why its been done.

Every theme runs on every rooted phone??
I can't believe!
No way!
When it is so, I say sorry, but I can't really believe.
we have SenseUI here.

so you are saying that my rooted hero will run any theme made for g1?
but i downloaded themes for dream, sapphire and found out that maximum image names are different. so how will hero run those themes?
then why we make themes for different devices then? why did u guys make seperate theme sections in the 1st place?
Yes every theme will run on a rooted phone PROVIDED you have the apropriate rom loaded for the specific theme on your Rooted phone....

yeah really funny since we got... wait let me recount... exactly one custom rom for the hero (yes i know there are others, but not really worth to mention).
well i guess we just have to eat the **** they are throwing at us, they are the mods...
Than I don't want to publish my themes here anymore!
It makes now sence, because no one can find them.
for a few days there were many themes at once and every Hero user in this section was happy to use them.
Now....
Sorry, I can see threads and postings from many users, who are not embraced about this changes.
but when the admins and mods are that mind it is better, then we, the themes maker must agree with that.
Admins, mods:
Take it seriously! Everybody thinks, this changes are not good!
carry out soundings of public opinion
Guys lets not give up just yet! I always found xda developers willing to listen to the people in the past after all its THE PEOPLE that make a great forum.
Also try and post comments here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591137 in one place where our Dream users brothers can also post
Even though I don't like using themes, I cannot see the sense in moving Hero themes to the generic Android themes section. The sub-forum is STILL called 'Hero Themes and Applications' - how ridiculous!

So its not true that all themes run on all phones. Your phone has to be rooted, AND it has to have the appropriate ROM loaded for that specific theme.
Goodness. That's kinda a lot to look for in a theme.
Hi guys!
Is possible to install the HTC's applications from a rom Hero to a Cyanogen?
I'm interesting to application "People" and "Phone"
I've asked in an italian android's forum (www.androidiani.com) and they says that maybe is possible, but there are many problems with dependencies...
What do you think about this?
Thanks in advance!

The hero apps are closely tied to HTC's closed source framework, and as such not easy or practical to port. Also, I hear Q&A loves to answer questions just like this one
it's hard. Talk to stericson (twitter.com/stericson)
he's the one who ported htcmusic to cyanogen. but it's hard, and was simply lucky that htcmusic was as simple as it was.
so, no. very unlikely.
I suggest, if you're into the hero apps but want a stock-like look&feel, go for haykuro 6.0r1. its ancient, but at least has that dialer.
oh, and for future ref., q&a is a more friendly section for these kinds of things.
Yeah. Q&A is the best place to ask this.
Anyway, seeing as if you've asked. It would be possible, if Cyanogen was going to put the HTC Framework in his ROM. Unfortunately, he's already said he isn't putting it all in, so you'd have to do a really large amount of work to get it to work.
In my opinion, I don't see why you would want to, really...
This has been asked many times. It will never happen unless the HTC framework is used. (If you use the HTC framework, then you end up with a Hero ROM.)
Thread moved to Q&A and closed.
Can someone, who is able to (a mod or something) search though the must have apps on your Hero sticky thread db for all the suggested apps with links/.apk files and stick them on the first post so that we don't have to wade through countless pages in order to find those little gems of apps distributed all over the place.
That way before we suggest another app we can check if it is there already in the summarised first post.
Someone must be able to that.
Please. Please. Please. It would be sooo useful
agreed good idea
it will be great
Hi
I'm creating an android app... it's called GameHall in the Android Market. It will be a Reversi and Chess game (2x1).
The problem is someone reported to me that the MyTouch is showing white squares instead of my textures... So I would ask you guys if someone can download my app and test it (you just need to open and tell if there are colors and the proper UI or just a bunch of white squares). I think I might have solved the problem but it's hard to find this device around here.
There is no catch... there are no ads (not yet) and the application is free. I need this to work properly since I want to make more games and hope to get a stable and compatible app as a base.
Thanks
I'm not sure if this was the right place to post since although this is a developer forum it is not really app specific...
I have read the rules before posting by I still had this doubt.
Anyway, if a mod considers it to be misplaced could you please move it to the proper forum (if possible?)
thanks again
All good for me.
That's great news
Thanks a lot
Thread moved to Apps and Games.
If you don't have it here it is. This is the newest version of the market. Im posting it because its such a major update and I know people are gonna want it early instead of waiting for it to show up in roms. I've tested it on Apex (latest version) and it is working perfect. I do know that the movies wont play on rooted devices so dont rent or buy movies. But that isn't a program issue that's a restriction that Google has imposed on us and considering everyone reading this is gonna have a rooted phone, most likely, its important I tell (warn) you about it. Also if for some reason you have an issue with me posting this don't bother me about it. Im just posting it for the people that want it. Also if for some reason you dont know how to install just go into the system apps folder then remove the old market and paste this one.
EDIT.... There is another thread that I didn't notice before I posted this so if you wanna download from that thread that's fine. Its all the same though.
Love it

read the edit in the OP. Fair enough?
This new market is baked into the rom that Im currently, and I've gotta say that it seems so much smoother than the last android market release, and the layout of the apps and info makes it a much more pleasant experience IMO. Thanks for posting the .apk
