[ADW Mod] Sense-Like Launcher *UPDATED* ADW 1.2.0, Standalone - Android Themes

This is a little mod I did for @TeeJay3800 on Twitter (I believe it is the same for here on the forums), that tries to capture the look of the HTC Sense launcher.
Attached you will find a .zip. If you unzip you should be presented with:
Sources.zip
Launcher
-----SenseLauncherDonut.apk (Install if using Donut)
-----SenseLauncher.apk (Install if using 2.x)
Themes
-----SenseOld.apk (Screenshot below)
-----SenseHero.apk (Screenshot below)
-----Sense.apk (Pretty much a theme to add Sense Icons, screenshot below)
The only requirement for this is that you do NOT have the market version of ADW installed.
I think it goes without saying that regular ADW.Themes will NOT look correct with this modded launcher. However, included in the Sources.zip are the sources to my themes, I look forward to what you guys come up with.

Glad to see you're finally posting this on XDA!
For anyone who wants to complete the Sense look and doesn't already know how, you'll want:
- Community Hero Mix (system theme)
- Weather & Toggle Widget with Forecast Addon and H7C Clock skin/H7C Weather skin
When all is said and done, your home screen will be an exact clone of HTC Sense for MDPI devices. Nice job JAguirre!

I'll download and try it out tonight. Good job!

I like the taskbard/notification bar... where did you get it?

As the title says, this is MDPI-only (as of right now, hope to get HDPI done when I have free time).
To use, download the .zip and extract. Inside you will find four items.
Install the Sense.apk (This is the theme that will give Sense icons, it is not required if you prefer whatever icons you are already using).
Install or push the ADWLauncher.apk. The way I've been doing it is by using
Code:
adb install -r /path/to/ADWLauncher.apk
or
adb push /path/to/ADWLauncher.apk /system/app/
However, a simple install from the phone /should/ just work.
With the adw_settings.xml and adb_backup.db, place them on the root of your sdcard and use ADW's Restore feature to import them (I'm sure there is an easier way, but I fail).
I think it goes without saying that regular ADW.Themes will NOT look correct with this modded launcher.

Must the phone be rooted to use this?
I have a SE X10 mini, is that mdpi or hdpi?

Of course it has to be rooted, it involves pushing something to /system partition which requieres root.

Hello I am a New to the World of Rooting.
I have rooted my HTC Evo successfuly and I would like to install the Sense Launcher.
Can you please give me a very detailed instructions?
Thank you.

Does it actually act like sense? or is it just like a dock background with shortcuts

As close to Sense as possible. The far left button opens the app drawer, the middle button brings up phone and the far right button brings up ADWSettings (Because I lack the coding abilities to bring up the 'Add to Home Screen' dialog).
Other than the add button (now the settings button) and the scrolly bar on the dock bar, I haven't come across anything else that's not Sense-like.

And now, the paint-thingy button! Just a preview for those interested, that button will soon be updated to the style seen on the new Desire HD and Z.

what's the deal with sense look-a-likes anyway? i played it once. then i analyzed the interface mechanics, deduced that the rest of the interface would be pretending the music player and nice lockscreen were there wasn't worth it and sat my phone down.
i hear there is something to do with getting middle school girls to lose it to you when they see a cool looking phone in later years? sounds hilarious and repetitive.
i guess i just don't understand being addicted to a impressing lil' honies.

So the only possible reason someone could prefer the Sense look is to impress underage girls? With that reasoning, I can already tell you're not someone worth discussing anything with.

it's because i didn't donate isn't it D:

[THEME] Chrome Invert w/ STERICSON LOCKSCREEN with ICE 0.5... for CM 4.1.11.1 9-24-09

So here goes nothing...
See what had happened was, I wasn't a big fan of light colored themes till I saw the gChrome and xInvert themes. Did a couple myself early in the JF1.5 platform but got too busy to follow up. I am not a themer by nature but I like to exploit aesthetics and visual enhancements where ever possible.
These two themes as soooooooooooooooo slick I couldn't make up my mind which I wanted, so as the name suggests I spliced the two together added a little sum sumn to get this..............
________________________________________________________________
In an attempt to please both persuasions (Those at different ends of the Monochromatic spectrum)...
HERE IS THE COMPROMISE THAT HAS BEEN REACHED... Hope you enjoy, it was a lot of work...
Includes more wallpaper
Advanced Launcher
New App Tray tab
Skinned Power Widget
Skinned Music Widget
Most Apps Themed... Still more to come... May include PADA HOME in next release... I've been playing around with it... VERY COOL APP, VERY COOL!, Very, how should I put it, Randum
The font in the screen shot will be available upon request... It's a little too big depending on the application that's using it, but I love it for the clocks and status bar... Very easy to read IMO...
======================================================================================================================

I TAKE SOME CREDIT FOR THIS THEME... He he... I did put work into it this time but...MOONSPOON and MANUP456 are the dudes you should be giving nuff credit to. Haven't had the pleasure of working with Spoon yet but I know MANUP helped me out big time with my first theme and like many other themers out there, they were the inspiration for even trying to make a theme. Along with the rest of the community WE DO APPRECIATE THE JOB YOU GUYS DO...
Ammmmmmm... what else am I forgetting? Oh yeh, this theme is really based off the gChrome for CM 4.1.7 and I pulled the Launcher and some framework stuff over it from xInvert
I will try to keep up with the latest EXPERIMENTAL as time permits and provide whatever help I can seeing as I learned soooooooooo much from this forum already, its only right that I give a lill summ sumn back
_________________________________________________________________
What has now become a Legacy build
FOR CM 4.1.10.1
TRY IT ANYWHERE ELSE AT YOUR OWN RISK... (My suggestion is don't try it)
CHROME INVERT With xInvert Keyboard and CLEAR LOCK SCREEN BY STERICSON... MUSIC PLAYER WORKS, You may have to have a track loaded already though. That's how it worked for me

Which Launcher tab did you use? Can't see any in screenshots.
Something is missing from your screenshots. Where's the launcher?

I will add a screen shot of the Launcher in a bit. The handle, as I said, is transparent faded into a misty white at the bottom... similar to the smorg launcher handle, without the white triangle.

The Gallery app is from gChrome... You may want to delete the shortcut on the desktop and re-add it. If that doesn't work, chances are the aerospace gallery is still in there somewhere so reflash the ROM and then this theme.
Oh, these backgrounds are not in the theme, if anyone wants them I can post them up...
I like the way you put this together and the way this came out. Good work!!!

[Upcoming Theme] |Continuum - CyanogenMod

Hey I'm armoredraven. I've been a G1 owner for almost a year now and have been part of the XDA scene for some time, so I've gained some experience with this. I have modified a few themes for myself before, but haven't decided to create and release my own until now.
I've started creating my first theme, |Continuum, and need some input before any release. I would appreciate it if you guys could go over the screenshots and give me some ideas or recommendations on how to fix or theme or make it better.
I'm currently using Cyanogen 4.2.9.1, but will be updating soon. I'll probably update this theme for CyanogenMod roms, but if someone wants to port it elsewhere, they can contact me later...
I could actually release a beta version, but I haven't really bug checked anything (although I haven't gotten a single force closure yet). Maybe I'll get two or three beta testers, so if you would like to do this, either post or PM me.
And please, don't steal my images without asking... Unlike a few other themes out there, I actually drew all of my files out in photoshop rather than just copying and editing preexisting ones. I'd gladly share, just ask first
What I've done so far:
Index Tab Search Widget
Some Notification Icons
New Launcher
New Analog Clock
New Notification Tab
Things I plan to add:
Index Tab Settings Widget
Music Widget
All White Notification Icons
Revised Dialer
Custom Icons
Larger Clock Widget
*Plus any recommendations*

WOW. I would say more, but my jaw is stuck on the floor. It looks absolutely amazing and from your todo list I can't see anything else that needs to be said. The only thing that I see from the screen is maybe changing the carrier name to a more visible color, but that is all. Your search widget looks stunning.
I agree, Fantastic Theme! I also agree with the carrier color but if i had them i would try to hide it too J/K LOL
AWESOME =]
*edits later when you release , if you got a beta, let me try!*
this thread locked in 5....4.....3.....2......
I think it's part of the theme, but your app drawer doesnt have titles for your apps... must for me sorry man... it would be fine for most apps, but there are a few that have random pics for icons, and i have to have the title to know what it is... but so far the BEST theme ive seen on here

its an option with the advanced launcher to remove the titles on the homescreen and another option to remove them in the app drawer. its up to the user whether or not it is done.

Yeah. I actually changed back now, because I was having trouble finding all my apps
Anywho... I made a couple changes:
-Fixed network provider text color
-Finished all framework-res status icons (I hand drew each in Photoshop to be all white)
-Added another outer circle to the analog clock opposite the minute hand one (solely for artistic effect)
-Shifted the "google" text in the search widget about 4 pixels to the right
That's it for today. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Theme looks very tasty. Can't wait.
beautiful theme, keep up the good work brother
If you need a beta tester that will not leak it out, I would love to test it out once you get it ready.....otherwise i will wait till it's released!!!
Awesome work!!!!
Damn that's lookin real slick. Unless someone ports to dwang (I lack the knowledge too) I may switch back to CM
When you get set to release I'll be happy to port it to Dwang's build, I have a thread of 11 ported over themes for dwang and I'd be more than happy to make this number 12. This theme looks earth shattering man very innovative! Can't wait to check it out

Thanks for that! If you don't mind, could I also link it up on my original post, crediting you for it? It might be simpler that way also.
Updates I have made (Screenshots will be posted tonight)
*Created index tab settings widget
*Quick boot animation (ugly, but will get the job done for now)
*Few other things...
Working on the calendar widget for now. I'm having text color editing issues, so if anyone has knowledge about modifying the xml's in calendarprovider.apk, please PM me.

wow this theme looks fantastic. I love how you drawn everything yourself. One thing, could you include it with no advanced launcher? Or are you gonna make it a metamorph?

If you replace the normal launcher with the advanced launcher instead of including both you can use bettercut with it . If you include both then bettercut wont work with advanced launcher that's why I substitute it in all my themes... I'm an icon freak lol.

[Theme] VillianROM NeXus style (Now for Villain 4beta2 too) (Updated 25/3/2010)

NOTICE
I have abandoned this for the time being. I have reverted back to a 1.5 firmware, as I found the 2.1 unusable for everyday use for me. There will be no more updates untill the official 2.1 firmware is out.
Something I threw together in a hurry. Some things are borrowed from other themes, something I made myself. Thanks to everyone I have borrowed from. You know who you are. None mentioned, none forgotten.
Made for VillainROM 3.4, but should work for alle ROMs based on the Eris leak.
Now also a build for VillainROM 4.0beta2. May work on Behnaams build as well, as they are pretty similar.
Install through Amon Ra.

There are a few kinks, but I will sort them out asap.
Looking good, could you doone just for the rosie buttons? or even a metamorph theme for the rosie buttons?
I can do it as a metamorph tomorrow. That would be the easiest way to do it.

The battery widget and the calendar widget are both in the market, but they cost money. The clock widget is something I made myself, using the dial from another widget which I then resized to 2x2, and put some other hands on it. When tapped it goes to worldclock.
Here are the names of the 2 nonfree:
Pure Calendar Widget
Battery Status
And here are the wallpaper and my widget:

Issue
Hi, love the theme. Just noticed an issue though. When playing music through the stock HTC app, you can normally skip tracks when the screen locks. However the section of the screen in blank in the theme. You have to unlock the screen in order to advance tracks. It works fine in the rom, only when flashed the theme.. regards Andy

yup, I noticed the same problem with the lock screen music. its like it is looking for missing graphics. also noticed that in the task bar, the eclair icon for HSPA network is still default to sense UI. I was wondering if you could make a metamorph release with just the task bar replacement? it is exactly what I'm looking for.

Good job, looks clean.
hehehe, I'm just curious what you're gonne unleash in the new Villain rom....
But love this theme!
just want the homescreen bottom launcher bar but can't get metamorph file to work... error message saying .thm file is missing....
i extracted the files from the .zip the put on to sd card that way to see if it made a difference... however, it went through the motions as though it were updating and even said "theme applied"... but nothing happens... tried rebooting... tried reapplying multiple times... nothing is happening...
any ideas???

[APP] Fascinate Xperia Arc Launcher (Modified)

I found a version of the Sony Xperia Arc Launcher that works on all Galaxy S models. I have tweaked it to remove unimportant little things, and make it transparent, and a few other things that I hope you enjoy. It is lightweight and simple, it works as a better alternative to a similar to stock (Touchwiz) look, its minimal and incorporates a sexy transparent theme to it. Also, it has the option that uses FOLDERS, like the iPhone and MIUI. Thanks to backhead92 for the modification to fit our phones from here. For those of you who hate lag, this launcher does not lag at all in the home screen mode or in the app drawer, nonvoodoo. I'm sure it's even faster with Voodoo. Hope you like the little modifications.

I've been thinking about it but I'm really busy with my last semester of college and job offers. Once I get this job and graduate I'll most likely put a good chunk of time into compiling roms together. They'll most likely be similar to Adrynalyne's roms but have great themes. As of now though, I don't have much time or the knowledge to develop a successful rom. Thanks for your support though.
Is there anyway to use custom icons for the folders? I've been messing around with this for a couple days and my main complaint is that the stock folder icons are boring. Pretty cool launcher though, thanks for posting.

Actually that is very doable. I can find some sweet icon packs and include them in the launcher pack. What style of icons are you interested in?
Loving this thank you

Would an icon pack change the default icons of various apps or provide more templates to choose from in the folder section?
Not really sure as to what icons would be good. I'm running mob's honeycomb theme so anything that works with that would be cool. I know someone posted all the default honeycomb icons in this forum recently and I could link those if you'd like to use them.
Wow. I was skeptical to try this since I like ADW EX so much, but this is useful enough that I am going to use it for at least the next couple days. Nice work. I like the look.

Works on the cheap little Optimus One :3
runs smoothly on htc desire 2.3.3... thanks!!!
It does not work on a normal Galaxy S.. D:
Any help would be appreciated... : D
Sounds like this launcher will run really fast on slower devices, eg HTC Legend.
I will try this on a normal Galaxy S (I9000).
It looks pretty good, actually looks alot like my custom GTG launcher.
1) It has 5 homescreens instead of 7, no biggie.
2) The app launcher has 3 action buttons (alphabetical order, home button, edit mode) on the bottom (my launcher just has the home button, normal TouchWizz has the App-toolbar on the bottom).
3) Q: Does it have a landscape mode?

I found a version of the Sony Xperia Arc Launcher that works on all Galaxy S models. I have tweaked it to remove unimportant little things, and make it transparent, and a few other things that I hope you enjoy. It is lightweight and simple, it works as a better alternative to a similar to stock (Touchwiz) look, its minimal and incorporates a sexy transparent theme to it. Also, it has the option that uses FOLDERS, like the iPhone and MIUI. Thanks to backhead92 for the modification to fit our phones from here. For those of you who hate lag, this launcher does not lag at all in the home screen mode or in the app drawer, nonvoodoo. I'm sure it's even faster with Voodoo. Hope you like the little modifications.

[MOD] Make Rosie Launcher auto Rotate/update.zip added

Ok all i bring you a new Mod that will make your rosie Launcher auto rotate to landscape when you turn your tbolt to the side
I am making the assumpution you all know how to decompile and recompile the rosie.apk if you dont read up and come back to this thread.
Ok so you have the Rosie.apk decompiled already open up the AndroidManifest.xml with your favorite text editor, and look for this bit of code:
Code:
android:screenOrientation="nosensor"
ok here comes the tricky part, if you arent sitting down you better. change "nosensor" to "sensor"
so it looks like this:
Code:
android:screenOrientation="sensor"
recompile and bam you are done!
get it back on to your phone and enjoy landscape in all its glory!
a few hints, I chose with spare parts to keep the launcer in memory seems to help with redraws. also dont for get to enable auto rotation!! enjoy. if I helped out in any way just give me a thanks!!
*Known Issues
Cant turn rotation off.

For those of you having issue or dont want a themed rosie here is a stock Rosie.apk in a update.zip flash through clockwork. I have only tested it on Das BAMF so use accordingly. if you have a themed rosie you will lose the theme. I assume no responsibility for what this does to your Launcher make a back up before flashing!!!
Enjoy

Sweeeet! Gotta wait till i get home to do this, excellent work!
if that's all it is, why did they not enable it to begin with... geez.
Would it be possible to post the modified Rosie.apk for those of us noobs that don't feel comfortable with de/compiling?

all your rom devs im sure will either include this or have an option for if not, let me know. and ill get one one up. Or you can go down load My Linear theme which has it done already
Would you PLEASE release Rosie.apk for BAMF1.3.2? You'd be my hero... lol
Give it to me straight, there's no way to get this without root correct?
Thank you vey much for this, This is what I have been waiting for.
Now the issue it that the Thunderbolt Sense widgets don't all support Landscape...
Unbelievable!
The Contact Widget and the Calendar Widget are distorted and they don't fill the screen in Landscape.
Also, something interesting, the phone doesn't rotate to landscape unless you launch it from the Car Panel (not that it really needs to but interesting).
I can't believe HTC would make so many different widgets, they all seem to work fine on the Desire Z ROMs.
I have a question about non deodexed ROMS. Do I have to do anything to the ODEX file? or just make the changes to the apk?
Also installed the landscape apk in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007745 and it does not work on my phone. Is that becasue it is not deodexed?
Thanks
If only the 4x5 didn't look retarded in landscape...
Btw anyone on my rom that wants to use this ill make it an optional mod later today.

Hogowner: rosie IS SenseUI. It's the whole interface on HTC android phones.
Two things: can I go into rosie through rootexplorer and change this, or is it going to f with the file? And do you know how I can ditch this personalize button?
3 things I guess: thanks for the gps remover!
Running das bamf 1.3...is there anyway to make rosie landscape??? I do not see the code line in rosie.apk....
