Hi,
Is there a possible way to upgrade my version of Sense UI on my HD2 Froyo 2.2 without using a new ROM?
Question 2: Can i use HTC Sense widget in other theme apps?
Both cases it's no....
try to install the different Build and restore the apps via Titanium Backup pro..
Nope sorry. You would have to change numerous files, edit xmls etc and even then there's no guarantee. Titanium backup your apps and start afresh

Is there also a way to modified the menu within the sense theme, make background transparant or something?
Hi last question then im nearly finished making my rom...
How do i get rid of LGHome and add go launcher??? and how do i change the launchers icons..
thanks again
Open your rom zip file, navigate to /system/app/
remove LGHome.apk, and add GoLauncher.apk
(I think that the launchers' permissions will be changed, but if not, change it's name to LGHome.apk)
or you can just keep LGhome and let users choose whatever launcher we want, dont you think?
think we should leave the stock lg launcher, you should be able to choose just add golauncher
Hey guys!
I've noticed that Sammy did a awful job when it comes to our stock Android.
I was a happy user of CyanogenMod but I really missed some Sammy stock apps and reverted back to stock ROM.
Now I'm creating a bareboned stock-based ROM for my personal use, but when I remove some apps, I noticed that they still appeared on my launcher.
On the /system/app directory, there is some Launcher*.apk files, where the * is something like AlarmClock, Browser, Calculator. The apps that I removed only disappeared when I deleted the matching Launcher*.apk too.
I wonder if there is some way to bypass this? By bypass I mean, remove the Launcher*.apk files and still have the icons on my launcher.
Thanks!
Maybe u can try using Root Uninstall.. See if it help u out to clean up all the apps that u wanted to remove include the system/app files also u can remove it easily....
here u can get the apps

Correct me if Im wrong ok.
Thanks for the help, but this is not what I want I think I wasn't clear enough. I want to remove the dependency of a second APK to show the icons on my launcher. Guess that is has been hard-coded by samsung. Oh god, why...
Try titanium backup, make backup then restore, I dunno why, but it worked for me with some apps. Or try a different launcher and see what happens.

I'm using Holo Launcher I'm gonna try it another time, maybe LauncherPro and ADW.
I noticed that this only exists in my Brazilian ROM, since this don't happens on the XWKTM. therefore, this thread isn't needed anymore. Thanks for those who helped!

Hi, I would like to modify the Slimwizz 5 ROM for personal use. I want to remove some apps and add some stock ones that are missing and needed for me. I would also like to change the theme that was introduced (the background in settings and other places that were changed).so that it looks identical to stock.
Can someone advise me on how to do this? I am guessing it isn't enough to extract the zip file and delete, replace apps and then just to rezip it.
So any help with removing the apps, then adding apps and finally changing it to phone UI and changing the background in settings would be much appreciated.

I think that you need new rom :laugh:
did you try alliance v1
you can flash it without google and samsung apps, then after installation you can restore every system (samsung/google) apps that you need, this way you can have a rom that suit your needs
also you can flash stock theme from Alliance OTA
and a lot of modification through Alliance control
you cant find better rom

u mean change only icons ? if thats the case , then u need a theme manager to change the theme. some themes change only icons, some change everything. but the icon set is inside a theme. themes support specific launchers. so its possible that ur favorite launcher doesnt support ur favorite theme ( for the icons ). the other way around is to use a root explorer and change every little icon manually inside apks.

Better yet, you can make your own theme. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44609532
You can get everything you need to know about making your own theme there.
BTW, thanks for searching the Forum/Web first, because some people just don't.
Good luck

the stock one is LGHome3.apk.
since u use an alternative launcher look for it in data/app. apps u install go there. in system/app are the system apps that have root access.
well I found it as u said, it's LGHome3.apk.
used ninjamorfh, exchanged the icons, finished my project and wooow: I soft brick my phone
the launcher disappeared and after reset it was stuck in the logo.
so after about 4-5 nervous hours of pushing apk thru adb, recovery, software reset, wiping it all , download rom, flash stock rom with kdz,
restore my 120 apps, restoring backup files, I was able to bring my 4x back to life as it was before.
so conclusion :
some things don't worth to **** with :laugh: LOL
if u want to change ur app drawer icon don't be hard headed like me, create a theme or install a launcher that can do it.
anyway,
anyone that helped me in this thread .....thanks

i guess there is a reason why there is no app that can change manually the app drawer icon, It could get messy.
I used ninjamorph app (root app), it should decompile/recompile the apk automatically.

if it is only for icon , u can just treat the apk as if it was a zip. just open it with the zip manager and force the icon to replace the one u want.
