[Q] Skins not working on gingerbread? - HTC Incredible S

After installing the gingerbread update my skins arent working properly. Previously downloaded skins have disappeared and are listed twice in htc hub, one saying installed the other not, and when I apply a skin the browser is no longer themed and has the stock htc look no matter what.
Assuming this wasn't meant to happen, does anybody know what the hell is going on.

Chrome to Phone is removable. Genie Widget would have be removed in recovery.

Thank you. I wish we had full nand unlock...cause my Root explorer is no good for now. I just don't like adb..so prefer Root explorer.
Does OTA come pre installed with the rom, or do I already have to have it, cause right now im running a rom and have the OTA already installed. SO...

There is another entire thread dedicated to flashing the OTA radio file. It's an entire process, especially if you are rooted already. You have to unroot to do it.
would it be possible to get the 3g ap hotspot so I could install it? It actually works quite well.
so... as with every other 2.2 rom i've tried, i'm getting the same problem with this one.
my contacts sync, but they don't show up in the "people" app. they appear in the phone app, but not the actual people app.
can anyone help?
Im trying this now. What do people think of it so far. I was very please with pmf's work when using his 1.1.
"Call To Answer" Screen is still HTC
Just flashed this ROM. I must say, it is very fast and responsive. Great work!
I have one concern:
The lockscreen is Android 2.2 vanilla. However, the "slide to answer" screen is still the HTC screen. When testing, the screen was off. As soon as the call came in and the screen turned off, I saw the vanilla lock screen flash for a second (I believe it was the stock unlock screen, not the stock "slide to answer" screen) and then it was replaced with the HTC slide to answer screen.
Is anyone else having this experience?

this is how it was with pmf 1.1
Please add support to ROM Manager! I love being able to install straight to my phone while bored at work!
I don't think the facebook sync is working correctly, the full list did not appear. this stuff is getting annoying because I really love this rom so far.

Thanks. Yeah this is because the phone answer lock screen is controlled by the HtcPhone.apk, which is used in this ROM.

I haven't had issues with it, other than the first sync can take a while to show up. I find that firing up FriendStream can sometimes force it to sync.

Yes mate it is HTC apps by the look of it and the XBOX Live Extras will not work if u look at he apps page u can see it only people with a htc cannot use XBOX Live Extras on the reviews
I had the same problem with a Game called "Unite" (i think that was what it was called?)
Everything else seems to have installed fine though...
Pretty sure this is effecting everyone with HTC device - I guess they released to updates to fix other issues but they've created their own.
Judging by the speed of the first updates I'm sure this and Xbox Live Extras will be sorted pretty soon.
Typical teething issues - what happened to testing lol
whatever you do, dont delete and restart your device, otherwise now i cant do anything with those apps, they just do nothing now. =( not a very good start
edi* if this happens, a factory reset does the job
This is why I wasn't going to go HTC with wp7 if only the Omnis had 16gb anyware near me but the mess to much trying to put there own mark on things and always botch it same with sence it looked good but was so amature in exection
I just uninstalled all HTC apps and Xbox live rebooted and reinstalled Xbox live and its made no diff to live
so should I uninstall the htc hub, then try to find it again ?
also where does it show updates on the phone ?
No it makes no diff I got rid of all HTC stuff and only diff is I have no HTC stuff lol

[Q] HTC sense overlay?

Anyone know if I can get it or not?
No sorry, not possible, there are attempts to copy over the clock, and launcher pro plus has a good go at the widgets, but there is no way of porting over the sense overlay, I tried myself with titanium backup and just got stuck in bootloop, sense requires a lot and it wipes over a lot of the drivers.
So far as I know no-one is even working on a port.
IMPOSSIBLE.
Seems like everyone has given up on trying to port it.
I never liked sense much anyway.

[Q] getting rid of default LG things and customizing

Hi guys, I've got this p990 as my first android phone.
Years passed customizing WM... well air needed to be freshened!
Anyway down to my "problems"
A)
I hate the LG lockscreen, but I found no way to go back to default.
Also since I installed GO SMS PRO, received sms notifications continue to appear on it even after reading messages.
So I installed FlyScreen but don't like it that much.
Installed WidgetLocker and that suits me better, but I can't find any notification widget, something like a transparent overlay with the relevant info.
Maybe customizable. I've seen something like that in the Widgetlocker Themes, but even downloading theme doesn't fetch the widgets though.
Using android sliding bars for everything is really horrible.
B) how can I change the system icons (battery,wifi,etc)?
It's rooted, but I'm still running stock. Tried a Cyano nighlty but it didn't boot so I reverted to stock.
C) using GO SMS Pro, why do I have to select it as default on every reboot?
D) using ExtendedControls, reboot doesn't work although it got root permission. It gets stuck on the waiting window, system still works ok (I can go to home, and do everything). Who should I ask?
On a side note: since this phone runs on a tegra2, what would be the problem in flashing an honeycomb rom like asus transformer's?

Handcent skin mod

This is the first anything I have put forth to share, but wanted to because everyone shares with me. I took the darkness skin offered by handcent and put my own twist on it. The only way I've tried to apply it is to uninstall the original one and install this one. No need for root access. I hope you like it...
Screenshots:
no longer available.
This my latest and final one. It is the same type of skin as the one above, but this one replaces the metal skin.
no longer available
It's a bin file can't install...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm new...what can I say, I will fix it now.
Updated, its a go now. Sorry for the derail.
Nice dude looks good. Not a big skull fan but good work.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well its the colors more than the skull I was going for.
If anyone has suggestions of what they would like to see, let me know.
I can't get this to work at all on liquid 3.0 for the thunderbolt... That's the only snag I've found so far.
Edit: moved updated skin to first post.
I can't install it on my HTC Desire with CM7.1. Handcent is up to date. After the install failed I resigned the apk and tried again but still no luck. Any ideas?
I had problems with liquid for the thunderbolt, and also with a few other roms. I haven't changed anything and it works on bamf forever. I'm not sure what keeps it from installing on certain roms. I tried adb push and that didn't work either. I'm not very well versed in system operations. I wish I had a definitive answer.
I tried a few more times (resigning, repacking and resigning, repacking and optimizing and resigning etc.) but still no luck. Maybe it's because of my ROM (CM7.1) or the Handcent version (3.9.9.1) but there are problems even with the original handcent skins from the market (I tried the Halloween skins). They install but I can't select them in the handcent app.
I also tried to mod the handcent apk but even stranger things are happening there: it installs without any issues but when I open it it crashes. No FC warning or something but it simply closes right away.
I'll keep trying so maybe someday we can all enjoy various skins for handcent.
Thanks for the effort. It only worked on certain roms for me. My friends with unrooted phones didn't have any trouble, so unfortunately I think it just wont work for everyone. I am making another one, but I wont be able to put up any screenshots.
Okay... I changed one more... It will be my last one because I get bored quickly of any one thing. I'll put it in the first post.
