hi there ppl.
some confusions i have regarding installation of themes.
1. will the phone memory gets erased when i install themes via recovery mode? ( will the apps n the data on the phone gets formated?)
2. my hero is android 2.1. i want themes which appear like the nexus one UI
so please guide me to find UI theme like the Nexus One
3. to be other the safer side, im even downloading the Hero RUU roms of SouthEastAsia from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
if i later get back to this RUU rom, will i be entitled to updates to the phone?
thank you guys
Ill try to answer your questions as best as i can.
1. No if u install a theme, your apps wont get erased. However, make sure that you install a theme that is compatible with the rom you have on your hero.
2. The nexus one ui is the standard google ui. You can get a similar homescreen from the android market called launcher pro. As far as i know there are no nexus one themes for hero.
3. You will recieve updates if you switch to an official rom.
Hope that helps

So, I want a clean install of a stock Android rom for my Legend. I've had the Hero and I've had to wait for the updates. I like SENSE, but It's not a necessity for me. A lot of apps give same or better functionality to the phone than SENSE does.
I just want to be able to install the latest greatest straight from Google.
What you want. ISN'T POSSIBLE ON THIS PHONE!
em Yes it is,
Lots of sense free G1 and Hero Roms can be ported to the Legend. It just hasn't been done yet.
I am in the process of porting G1 Froyo Beta, but it isn't ready yet.
OR you can turn the Sense UI off!!!
and u will get the basic android 2.1 UI.
goto settings then applications and turn it off there.
i hope that helps!
I've found that Sense is glossy-bloat ware and I don't want it on my phone anymore. I'll search around and if a solution isn't within reach, I'm getting the Nexus istead.......annoys the heck out of me that I didn't in the first place, seeing the experience I had with the Hero (getting 2.1 NOW).
hmm i prefer sense i see it as the best GUI over android!
I'm working on a clean build based on:
- MoDaCo Custom ROM for the HTC Legend online kitchen - r2
- LauncherPro (nice Home Screen)
- HTC Dialer
- HTC Camera
- Removing All other HTC apps (peep, stock..ecc.. since i we have better apps on market)
p.s. actually its working but i need to fix some. Anyone got the apk with original LockScreen?

I meant Google Eclair Lock Screen.
Ahah, sorry, missunderstood you
I've been looking into that problem with lockscreen, and the Eclair version is not kept in an apk. It is in the android.policy.jar.
Im working on getting it working with my senseless rom
Hi Guys!
So I recently figured out how to install the CM Nightlys after I was reassured I wouldnt delete my settings. That was awesome because I can feel an improvement in responsiveness.
I also installed the Googleapps.zip and tried the new [Morph] for Cyan Jog dial.
So I have a couple of questions.
- Can I use Metamorph to install things other than [Morph]'s that are in the Nexus one Themes and Apps section?
- I tried to use ROM Manager to install nightly for the first time, but it seems redundant in that all it does is reboot into recovery..and i have to install from zip there, which i could have gotten to with just a reboot
Am I doing something wrong?
And thank you for your advice with Metamorph.
cheers

Ok thought I would take the rubbish out of the dev thread.
So far I have done this:
Flashed JVT from start with custom .PIT file. Speeds up Ice Cream sandwich, I've tested this and it works great. Visually no lag and it works on top of any lag fix you do after wards.
[HOW TO]
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-12mb-in-nand-symlink-modem.6361/#post-131323
So here it is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43088692/12MB_Gain_NAND_Symlinked_Modem.bin.zip
Download and instructions - Everything you need is in that zip (its not a CWM zip by the way) load it to your PC and unzip. Follow the PDF print outs I have included and also as an acknowledgement to ykkfive's hard work (this references directly back to coolya's work from XDA https://github.com/cmsgs/utilities/tree/master/pit-stuff)
http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2011/08/freenandmod-get-more-space-from-nand.html#.TvimZtSO3TQ
http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2011/09/switch-to-another-modem-version-without.html#.TvimaNSO3TR
1. You can do this by taking a CWM Nandroid backup of your current setup.
2. Flash back to stock using Odin and the files I have provided in my drop box zip file.
3. I have added modem.bin file, script manager apk, buszybox apk and superuser apk for everyone should they wish to test the script and modem on the base JVT setup that they just flashed.
4. When it works correctly boot into recovery and then restore your CWM Nandroid backup and viola your done
5. Boot up - NB: You will notice you have no reception until you run the script in script manager.
You set on moot the script to run and in ICS it seems to work better than on JVT (where I had to initiate the script even after checking the onboot function).

Nova Launcher! Yeeeew finally a replacement. ****s on the standard launcher, can make GOSMS my sms app in the dock setup just how I always wanted it. Go Launcher Ex fails big time on ICS so don't bother installing it (even though I love it) the animations on GO Launcher cause big time crashing hahaha test for ya self for LOLs
You will ditch the stock launcher in an instant once your on this. It allows resizing of widgets and app draw also has widget draw like standard launcher.

Haven't got a link for it atm but its in the Market so just download from there.

Whats the difference? I am running a tweaked version of MyUI ICS ROM on my Phone and freakin rocks!
The MyUI version of the ICS ROM based off OneCosmic's RC 2.11.
- List of Mods. 1% increments on the battery using the similar style to Perka's MOD of Elin ROM ICS. Uses the ICS font for numerals upto 100 and has blue lightning bolt whilst charging.
- Uses Nova Launcher and Glitch Kernel but with the nice white standard Google boot image and tweaked Boot animation as well.
-Center Date in notification dropdowm menu
Drop box is here:

anyway to stop vibration on lockscren?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I think there is, u need to search in settings of the phone.
Thanks alot, Ive been looking for swype and a good and proper replacement launcher!
swype thread link broken?
didnt find a way to disable vibration on lock screen. if you disable haptic feedback in settings, it still vibrates.
furthermore, the vibration on haptic feedback is very high and not configureable.. thats annoying. disabled it, using now a keyboard with custom vibration length (htc_ime mod, yeah - still running under ics)

That one doesn't work after i tested it. The look of it is nice but the apk is made for a much bigger phone. It stretches too wide for the screen lol.
I went back to FlexT9 keyboard. By far the best swype out there that I have ever used. I keep deviating but I keep returning back to that old faithful hahaha. The issue with ICS is that it won't let you over ride the standard ICS keyboard to use anything other than native. So you need to freeze the keyboard apps with Titanium Backup. Then install the keyboard of your choice...in my case FlexT9. then I go and remove the apks from system/app like LatinIME and any associations with the standard keyboard, dictionary etc and put them in a folder on my SD card for "just-in-case"....cause that Justin bloke has saved me on many occasions lol.
I managed to use SwiftKey X without any problem - I do not need to freeze the stock ics keyboard apps.
i guess u knw wt i have done ..
You've found my very very very old thread that I started when ICS only first came to SGS...hahah

Google Locate Service FC's when Wifi is enabled for Location Detection. (still can not fix this!)

Slight Delay in Call Screen show (Should Be Fixed now)
Dailer need slight adjustment sizing wise.
Screenshots are not always perfect ( No matter what i do i can't fix this so retake the screenshots till it does do it perfect.)
Slight delay in screen response after app closes can cause a FC at times and can't be helped its mainly down to the GPS area.
Dailer Lag might happen for some people use the V6 Charger script to correct this.
Wifi Teathering not working USB does. Looking into this at the moment please use a 3rd party teathering program such as Open Garden Wifi Teather for now please.

Edit 2: unlike miui v4 this one doesn 't have milocker "installed " so you can get it from market. Maybe it 's possible to update lockscreen using that?

Awesome!
No major problems as yet, just a few resizing issues(bootanimation,camera), the camera hung when taking a pic so I'll swap it for the other miui one that will fix it. Everything else seems to be working fine.
Edit: can you swap the gallery for the 2d one in next release, 3d sucks on a wildfire.

Everything seems to be working just fine! Only problem is that when you apply themes the icons are HUGE, unlike on MIUIv4 which shows them just fine and also on the latest MIUIv4 for x10 mini HDPI lockscreens work. Is this stuff something Stelios added or is it something new for ICS/MIUv4? It would be great if this stuff could be added.
Anyway great work!
Thanks for your comments liking them already.
2D Gallery Miui will be added next version. Locker screen will be added on next version, Will replace MIUI camera as well.
Keep list coming

Yes thats because Miui Gb themes are HDPI we have LDPI.
Some ldpi lockscreens. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394968
You need to extract the icons from the .mtz then resize them with a image batch resizer, i use faststone photo resizer and will do some when I get chance.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Thanks scratch. I need help with resizing what needs resizing if you get my meaning. I can get the apps that has been requested in the next rom but framework work etc i don't know how to do if you could help or point me in the right direction i'd be happy.
At the moment at least we have a working base rom that can be modded further to improve on. It wasn't a easy port i can tell you.
I still have errors about java I/O exceptions etc to fix the works.
Also i am thinking of adding G-apps to the rom too so any help from anyone will be handy and credits will be given.
Errrmmmm........
Resizing the framework is a little tricky just about everything I did on the last miui gb rom broke it, I'm new to all this resizing stuff too + don't have that much spare time to sit in front of the computer, 3 kids to look after (I only started looking into resizing when miui came around for us) it doesn't seem too bad though a few menus in some apps have been out of place but nothing serious, the launcher was quite simple as I had the v4 launcher which had already been mostly resized to copy values from, this is by far much better than the last port and I'm sure it will get even better, this is my new daily rom for sure and I'll share everything I find or do to it successfully without a doubt.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Thanks so we are in the same boat how are you resizing the apps i have plenty of free time next week so if i get some pointers on what to do i can then start work on it.
Personally i would like every to take note this is not all my work i have noticed my thanks count going up and i am flattered but i really do not deserve the thanks i am only helping out.
Next we need to sort a kernel as well and make a few changes to the system area as some of the CM7 tweaks no longer work so removing them will help out as well.
Force Closes need fixing and so does the java i/o issues.
I am thinking on the next update to include a datasd script to increase the internal memory size need peoples views on this as well.
Whats needed on the bootanimation to be done.

Dud3me this is a Gingerbread versoin and not ICS nothing from the ICS Miui has been added to this version. I however have noticed that ICS version hasn't been updated in awhile hence the Gingerbread version as we have CM7 running ok on our Wildfires it was a logic move.

I'm aware that this is a gingerbread version...
And yes it's great that we have MIUI gb because gingerbread has, as stated earlier, almost everything working. I'm just saying that on the ICS version you CAN use hdpi lockscreen themes due to milocke/lockscreen thing RESIZING them to fit our screen. Also it resizes the icons so they're not huge (not perfect though). And when the theme doesn't have icon for a app it gives them this weird square which is supposed to be the background (see attachment). I was just wondering if it's possible to get these features on gb as well in the future.
Really appreciate your efforts and these "bugs" are just minor issues!
Bootanimation is 320x480 so it's just a little bit bigger than it should be, that's an easy fix though and if you haven't done it before me I'll do it and post a link, the other miui camera works perfectly so I'd just switch to that one, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000445 There's the link if anyone wants a quick fix.
The system apps seem to fit ok for me, just a few menus are messed up in some apps, I'll get some screenies to show you.

Hey XDA, I am running the latest Viper One Rom on my m7 and the last few updates haven't succeeded in correcting my problem, so I am reachingout to see if I am the only one experiencing the issues. One of my favorite features of our phones is the zoe and the ability to match custom themes to the chosen content. Lately my phone is only allowing one theme to b used, it is literally stuck on the clean theme. When I try to choose another theme it highlights only when I choose it, then instantly goes back to the clean theme. I have tried doing a full clean flash of the latest Viper One Rom wiping all data, cache, and Calvin. To no avail I am still stuck on the clean the theme, and now the only option I can think of is going back to one the earlier versions of the Rom just to have my favorite features back. Any feedback would b rad guys, are u experiencing this too? Or is it an isolated issue with just my phone! Again thanx XDA ?
