Could you tell me what I have to do with both, thank you.

Use 7zip to open up the res files, edit the png's with gimp, stick the png back in with 7zip, resign the rom, and flash. Check out Impalers theming thread for all of your theming needs.

Gala S theme

Would anyone be able to port this theme over to the hero?
http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709946
sorry it wont let me post the url because im new, so your going to have to copy and paste this and attach the http back to the rest of the link.
Looks very nice and fresh.
I would be interested to know if there is a quick way to port a theme, based on say a Nexus, to the Hero. If so I could give this a bash. I've previously tried to do this for another theme and have had to mostly resize the images one by one.
I think the theme in the link is for nexus, I would try but I don't know anything about making themes =P

Yeah the images need to be scaled down to mdpi. I am just working on another theme at the mo, but have finally figured out how to edit the .9.png's so once i'm done with that I'm gonna see if i can port this over
Sweet, thanks man!
If you haven't already you might want to check out the 'Gala S' theme for ADW Launcher. Currently for our mdpi devices its not as complete, but in time hopefully will be all there It's worth a look.
I just tried it out with the heTANG theme and it looks great! All I need now is status bar and the themed lockscreen

IPhone Icons

Can anyone point me in the right direction for icons similar to iphones, but black and white, something that will match the BlackMod theme for CM6
Thanks,

Or do a search. I have found several. Then use gimp and do Colorize from the color menu.
I believe there is also black and white icon packs for ADW in the market.

I use some of these custom iPhone/iTouch icons with the Desktop Visualizer program (download in Market).

They aren't all just plain black/white, but as suggested in an earlier post, you can just extract some of these icons that are already formatted and designed with that 'iPhone' look then just convert them to black/white in Photoshop and resave.
EDIT: Looks like that same designer actually does have a black/white only icon pack. See here: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/handhelds/?q=Ups#/d2xhb47
Am I blind? From my phone I can't see where to download them...

[Q] Droid X Wallpaper

Could someone make a version of the stock Droid X non live wallpapers that fit the heros screen?
If you have one and want to make it fit you need to resize it to 320x480
Sent from my froyo using the xda app
I believe someone has one for download on the android development forum. Look for the topic "droid x ported from evo" or somethin like that. He uses an avatar that looks like patrick off of spongebob.
Froyo.... my hero's dirty little secret.
I got most of the dx wallpapers on my sd card. They are not resized for the hero, but the crop box doesn't cut much off.

I could be wrong but I believe the correct size is 640 x 480 ... for wallpaper on the hero anyway.

ROM suggestion for sister

When I handed my old hero to my sister last year, I took CM6 off, and flashed fresh for her.
I was wondering if there are any new sense roms out now that come highly recommended. I'd like to have her use adw launcher if there are any sense roms with the rosie stripped out.
It has to be stable enough to survive another 6 months without me being around to do updates...
Any suggestions?

If you are replacing the launcher with adw anyway, why not run an AOSP rom like CyanogenMod 6 or 7 or asopmod? If she's going to be without your support for 6 months, then I suggest cm6 or asop2.2. They are both very stable froyo roms. Cm offers more customization whereas aospmod is speedier.

Nfx has the newest update. If you're looking for minimum issues that may be the way to go. Otherwise you may be getting calls that mms messages are not being received. Easier to update prl and profile on a sense rom with a noob rather than have them trying to flash back and forth.

there is a new Liquid sense that just came out, i ran it and it was grand.
and you can just download adw, if you want that.
Cool, i'll look at nfx and liquid.
She would not be cool with any aosp rom... getting her to update a prl/profile on sense is difficult enough.

Okey-dokey, liquid just put out his final on liquidsense, and if im not mistaken, it was built off of nfx.

i just really wish hed do a 2.2rom =/, but regardless, its smooth

Best way to "fake" Sense UI on gingerbread?

I want to jump ship to the fast and smooth 2.3.3 from 2.1, but I really really want to keep sense or a sense-esq type UI. I'm curious if anyone knows a good way to do this through android apps / launchers, etc. And if you've done it, can you provide some screenshots please? Furthermore, has anyone tried or recommend GingerSense by kifno? Thanks a lot everyone who has helped!

IMO This thread Was Not Needed. Just my opinion though.
Yea it's Me Again With The
Modified Hero
There is a Sense-esque theme engine theme on the android themes and apps board. I would suggest checking it out. I believe its called NTsense.

I agree. It is a splendid theme. I like it as much as jasonevil's miui theme.

There are also a few sense themes for launchers, I think LauncherPro had a nice one
