Question about Themes and ROMs

Hi,
could somebody please tell me something:
I see here in this Forum, that there are a few of Themes, Lockscreens etc.
I wondered about, that this pieces goes only on one ROM.
Am I right, or isn't it so?
I did MoDaCo 2.8 to my hero and are very glad to use a theme and a nice Lockscreen on it.
Now I want to Upgrade to MoDaCo 2.9 and I see, that this Lockscreen and the Theme isn't for the new MoDaCo?
Why it isn't? What must be done to put that on new ROM?
And could it be, if the Themes are for 2.9 that it doesn't function on 3.0 or 3.5 or so on?
Must this themes and screens all Ported to every ROM?
Thanks for your answers. I want to understand that.

themes need to be ported when modaco uses a new base rom for his custom rom. when going from mcr2.8 tro mcr2.9 paul (modaco) used a newer stock rom from htc, and therefore the themes have to be ported to this newer version. if he uses a newer version again when going to 3.0 *probably* all themes need to be updated too. but tbh i don't see that happening, as htc announced android 2.0 for the hero, and i don't think they will release another android 1.5 rom before that.

Ahhh, thank you for the answer. Thats okay.
Where could I see that MoDaCo uses new ROM? And where does the new ROM comes from?
I still see one Update in the Hero History, that comes from HTC as a new ROM.

you can see here in the changelog, second post: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m-core-chinese-with-tck-featuring-wavesecure/
that he uses this rom:
Moved base to 2.73.405.61

calling all devs, i need your help!

as most of you know im going to be building a new 1.5 rom based off of gumbo 1.5c. i want to give the phone as much of an aosp/nexus style as possible. the bad news is there is no white stock taskbar themes out there for 1.5.
SO... im asking one of our talented devs to create one or port one to work on a 1.5 based rom. i will of course give you full credits. PM me if you interested!

I know what you're going for, but the reason we haven't done it is when you try to change the clock text in the taskbar it will bootloop. And if there is a way to do it, it would be a pain and there really aren't that many people here that are still on 1.5... I hope someone helps you out though. I would try but I(along with a lot of other people) hate working on things that I personally will not use.

im back & forth between 1.5 & 2.1 but i have several members interested in running a new 1.5c rom. damn i was hoping i could get that white taskbar too.
just something to play with until 2.1 officially drops ya know! actually according to the 1.5 & 2.1 customization page that godzon made there is a white theme that works on 1.5 but it's only for damage based roms. i just need this ported to work on a gumbo based rom.

that's what it says but i think it was for a damage based 1.5 rom. i tired to flash it and it caused a boot loop. i think it needs to just be ported to work on a gumbo based 1.5c/ pancake rom.

Unfortunately, that's incorrectly positioned / labeled in the thread.

well you should let godzson know about that then. so theres no chance of this being ported then?
well ****.... maybe ill take pancake 2.1 or gumbo 2.1 and work with that then, i like the aosp feel.

Didn't know it was labeled as such until you pointed it out...
If the framework on your version of 1.5 is odexed (has .odex files in the /system/framwork), it is no small task to pull off, as the whole entire framework would first need to be deoxeded, so that you could then edit the services.jar file.
It's feasible, but not realistic, if this is the case, given that it's 1.5.

Yes.. you did something very wrong. You didn't search.

Just wait for the Sense UI 2.2 ROM if you want both Froyo and Sense.
Desire ROM 2.2 has been leaked and is fully working I assume, as the devs working on it say it might be out by tonight. Hopefully the Nexus will get a full port by tomorrow... No promises though

Lol tomorrow would such a nice time, but I assume its a tad bit too early. It would be really awesome though..

i mean i want use stock google froyo rom and the apps from sense ui
is this possible?

Nope. Only the game Teeter.

Is there a version of the teeter.apk that will install to SD if we are non-rooted?

Modfication Suggestion?

Hello all,
I currently have N1 rooted, but curretly still using FRF91 STOCK ROM.
I am a little bit confused on how to modify my N1.
Actually I am planning to flash it with CyanogenMod when the Full Version is out and then instal Metamorphs.
But when I saw the metamoprphs, all are modification bit by bit, it's kinda tiring to find the cool combination of the theme.
any suggestion for the best ROM and the UI modification?
thx before

Do you want sense? It not I'd just go with cm6.

so CM 6 is the answer eh?
is the RC1 stable enough?

There are some quirks here a there but they are isolated problems I think. Its been stable for me so far without any problems.

Now I'm on CM 6 RC1
what next?
I would like to use themes or modify UI. SHould I use metamorph?

there are plenty of different themes, some require flashing from the recovery while others are easier and you can just do it through metamorph. go to the themes and app section and browse around for a theme you like

I've just installed LauncherPro. It brought a new touch to my phone
I'm going to try themes next

great, I've flashed a theme and I got a boot loop!

[Q] aosp 2.1? i havent found it...

I was looking for an aosp 2.1 for my cdma hero. cant seem to find it... just a straight up vanilla, white taskbar, vanilla lockscreen, vanilla messages app, etc, etc.
anyone got anything for me? thank you thank you

Search for darchdroid in dev forum

thanks. his 2.8 doesnt seem to be for me though. im not looking for modifications by the community and what not, just want to try a straight google 2.1 for a bit. if it doesnt exist, then excuse my naivety.
really all i want is a stock rom, like nfinite's, with vanilla lock and vanilla taskbar. yeah i got the 3G icon and the vanilla four bars setup but i want that vanilla taskbar. i tried nfinites deodex version and attempted to put the vanilla taskbar on it with the vanilla lock but it wouldnt work.
thank you thank you.

Try browsing the Themes and Apps section -- there are several AOSP-looking themes and mods in there.
The one down in my signature (Leukay's Oreo Theme) adds the AOSP taskbar and a couple other menu changes to a stock Sense ROM. I know it works in nfinitefx45's ROM cuz I'm using it right now. Give it a shot.
And if you search in the nfinitefx45 Stock ROM thread, there are many posts about some people being able to get the vanilla lockscreen working on it too.

thanks. ive just made a nand b/u so ill give this a shot even though im on the odex version

Anything you get here is going to be modified by someone. Your phone was shipped with a black taskbar, Sense UI, and Sense only apps. In order to modify the look of it, it will have to be modified. If you want the stock android apps you can find those and then push them to your phone.
Darch's 2.8 is vanilla android, which is what I thought you wanted.
Hell, forget 2.1, go download and flash CM6. Much better than 2.1.
