I've been searching this forum as well as others to find an answer but cannot seem to find a definitive answer.
I'm trying to see if it's possible to port the lockscreen from the 2.0 droid (rotary kinda lockscreen) to nexus 2.1.
Just before the following are mentioned i want to be clear, i know there's 3rd party apps that provide the lockscreen like lockscreen plus and lock 2.0 but i don't really like them due to certain issues with them. (Notification pulldown stops working and it doesn't show the charging percentage, not authentic.)
This is in no way a request, merely an inquiry on whether anyone's seen this ported over. Any help would be much appreciated.
I found a thread on the HTC Hero forums about them replacing the one from their 2.0.2 (i think) ports to change from the slide buttons to the rotary ones, i don't know if it would be similar to the 2.1 Nexus roms. Is this a possability?

Searched (here and google) but couldn't find an answer. If it has already been posted, I apologise.
I just got my HTC Hero and I'm adjusting quite well from the change from WM6 to Android (used to have the HTC Touch Pro, aka the Raphael I think) but I was wondering whether HTC sense on the Hero interface can be changed (e.g. clock, colours) or if there are skins available, like there were for WM. Just to be clear, I know there are loads of apps out there (OpenHome, aHome etc) to change the normal interface, but they all seem to be focused on the Hero without the Sense interface. I want the Sense interface, but would like to change the analogue clock, the colours etc.
Thanks in advance!
No you can't really do that at the moment.
But there are several widgets for clock, you can change the background and the lock screen. Or you can pu any widget that you want instead of HTC's
haven't seen those either, not for Sense anyway, do you maybe have links/names of those apps for me? would really appreciate it! thanks!
Photo Clock is a good one. It has about 10 different faces, including 2 or 3 where you can choose a photo or your own pic as the base background for the clock. Just type clock into the market... All clock widgets for android can be used "for sense" - you just dump the HTC Clock widget and load one from the Android Widgets section. That goes for all android widgets.
I'm assuming you know there are 13 different clocks on the HTC Clock widget for Hero?

No, I didn't know that, I've only had it a couple of days and did look around on the phone for ways to change it, but I don't seem to be able to find it (I realise I'm sounding like a complete noob now, but oh well). The Photo Clock app sounds good as well, will have a look at that if (after someone has been so kind as to help me locate the different styles for the standard app) I don't like them.
Thanks for helping me out with this!
edit: I just found it! power of posting I guess It was under HTC-widget and I'd only been looking under Android-widget...Now I think about it, not too smart...
So you're sorted? Its not that obvious tho I have to say, as the options for screen widgets only come up when you choose them, so unless you dump one then reapply, you don't see them.
On all HTC widgets there's a little number (1/12) at the bottom saying how many options for views there are for that widget - some have loads, others only 1.
Also check out the SCENES - I only just got round to seeing those - they are like template arrangements of screen widgets that you can switch to and fro between, and also gives the option to save different custom arrangements.
I have one with links to all my porn and a photoframe with naked men that I have to quickly turn off and swap for the business one with the classy blue world wallpaper in case the hubby sees.... (kidding...)
They look seriously useful but I've not had a full mess with them yet. It was VERY simple to pop back to my own eclectic Scene set up tho

Can anyone help me with this?
I want to see if there is anyway that someone can port the transparent lockscreen and notification bar from evils hero roms and put it in an update.zip. I tried to flash evils roms and although they look great I cannot seem to get them to run right on my mytouch. I have gone back to qtek 1.8 which has always run smooth for me but want the transparent lockscreen and the notification bar from evils rom. I would greatly appreciate it if someone who was knowledgeable with porting and signing updates would be able to help not only me but a few members that I see have made the request with no response.
Just for the record I did search and found instructions but it did not seem to work for me.
Ok, so I have been playing around with LauncherPro and Bettercut over the past day or two and this is driving me mad. I have a feeling this hasn't been solved yet at the only information I have been able to find on the Internet is more or less threads with what I'm about to ask ending in "don't think its possible mate".
I didn't think the fine folks at XDA would think anything was "impossible"
Firstly I have made a video of what I am trying to achieve just so its easy to understand what my problem is, especially if you are not using the same apps that I am.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Def_XwC9rM
For those who cant watch the video -
When in sense both the mail and messages shortcuts have green icons next to them to inform you of how many unread messages you may have. You cannot change these icons with Bettercut or similar because they will automatically revert back to the same sense icons, something to do with sense controlling these particular icons I suspect.
When in ADW or launcher pro the green icons next to the mail and messages shortcuts do not appear, you can have the icons and you can change them with LP or bettercut but they will never have an unread count by them.
Oddly the messages icon in the dock bar of LP has a unread count but I assume this is the system or LP itself creating this. The same cannot be said for the email if placed in the dock bar it still will not inform you of your unread count.
There are two ways that occur to me to go about changing these icons, firstly would be to find the images Sense uses and modify these, I simply have no idea where to look for them. Secondly would be to find the service that tells sense to update its icon and use this to create a bubble similar to that seen on the messages icon on the LP home screen. The latter would obviously be the preferred solution but perhaps more complicated.
If this could be achieved I think it would certainly help out alot of people trying to mod the look of their devices, its certainly very frustrating not being able to use these shortcuts in alternative home launchers.
So if anyone has any suggestions let me know and I'll dig further
Any suggestions from anyone on this, tried searching up and down for any threads or post relating to changing or modding the sense launcher but nothing. I know this is possible because the latest revision of MDJ's android build for my HD2 has a modified HTC messaging icon with counter.
anyone?
I've searched high and low, but can't seem to find an answer to this question.
I'd like to take the stock time/date from the lockscreen on my Thunderbolt and place it onto my homescreen.
I'm running Das BAMF Remix 1.7 which has the "Verizon Wireless" nuked from the lockscreen. I think this time/date is so simple and it'd look perfect on my homescreen, but I have no idea how to put it there.
Try simple clock widget from market. Not exactly what your looking for I know, but fairly similar.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I do appreciate the quick response.
I've tried both simple clock and digital clock, and while both are pretty damn close, they're not quite right. I'm too particular I suppose.
I'm hoping someone knows how I can extract the time/date from the lockscreen (perhaps as an apk?) and then I can just flash it like any other mod.
Can you post a screenshot? I looked through the Roms thread for pictures, im just being curious (nosy)
Make Your Clock Widget or .. Make Your Clock Widget (Pro)
mClock or Minimalistic Text
Give those a try. - Also, I think "OMC" One more Clock has what you're looking for as a default skin.
i suppose i was just being lazy. after a bit of patience, i was able to use minimalistic text to mimic the stock lockscreen date/time perfectly. the only extremely minor glitch i can't quite fix now is the positioning. when i unlock my phone if you look carefully you can see the time/date jump just a few pixels. i don't think this is something i can fix though, as it probably has something to do with the different ways in which widgetlocker and launcher pro plus draw their grids between the lockscreen and the homescreen.
Im running CM7 and i love it for the speed but i'm not a fan of the dock or status bar, as a previous user on Sense on my HTC Wildfire i loved the UI and really want the dock bar and status bar on CM7. (note i'm not bothered about having any of the icon pictures changed).
1) If there is a mod to install that is cool with me and id slightly prefer it than a theme because from my understanding themes are less than perfect.
2) If i have to have a whole theme (i imagine i will) i'd prefer it to be for ADW but launcher pro is also fine. Take note the status bar and dock must be included and work, i don't care if the icons have been changed to the HTC icons or not.
Thank you in advance!
(Ps. Before someone comes along and says have you tried searching the answer is yes however, I only found poor themes without dock bar. Also i am very busy currently so didn't have a lot of time to look in fact i barely had time to write this out. Anyway sorry if this is a easy thing to find but iv'e told you why i havn't found it).
You could try LP sense UI. It looks just like sense dockbar. It is a launcher pro theme. Just look for it on 4shared. I don't think it is available through the market. It won't change your status bar. You will have to look through cm7 themes and find one close.
There's an HTC elegance theme you can find in the cm7 theme sticky

The best way to get a Sense notification bar is probably to use the Ultimate Onlline Kitchen. Use the empty theme Mendozinas provides, add the Sense notification icons, and cook. You should be all set.
Thanks to you all I chose to use LP sense UI which works great and especially like that it brings the fake sense widgets with it. Will probably also use Ultimate Onlline Kitchen to gain the Sense notification bar. (Assuming that they don't interfere with each other but im guessing they wont.)
Look up NT sense
Signatures are fancy.
You should check out my sense theme for cm7. It is essentially LP Sense UI but i've included dozens of sense clocks, NTSense, and many other themed Sense apps. There is a link to it in my signature, if you do try it out, could you give me some feedback? I stopped working on it because nobody responded and I assumed nobody downloaded it. Could you show some love?
