Hello, would somebody be willing to make a theme with just the notification bar in black (date, clock etc in white) for the CM 4.04 ? Nothing else needed in the theme.
thanks.

i am just that good. i saw this thread a minute ago and already have the file for you uploaded and everything.
http://www.4shared.com/file/132234151/543640f1/blackbar_signed.html
its a small file because all it is framework-res.apk (that has the black statusbar_background.png and the statusbar.xml with white notification text) and services.jar which has the classes.dex file that has be changed so that the clock and date will be white.

Will this work on 4.1.11.1?

it was based off of the 4.0.4 template and has a services.jar not compatible with the one for stericsons lockscreen, so no it won't. sorry when cyanogen releases a stable version if you would like this i will do one for you then, just pm me when the time comes around and i will make you one
i need to test out the new colorChanger.jar anyways so i can go ahead and make one real quick for 4.1.11.1 give me about 10 minutes or so and i will have a link

and here is one for 4.1.11.1 with the status bar inverted so it should retain the curved look from the donut one.
http://www.4shared.com/file/134673715/a3acd40b/blackbar41111-new.html

i know there are people using this (its kind of obvious with my 4shared account showing how many times it gets downloaded), so my question is should i start a thread like this that has black status bars for people that want them? that way those that do want a black status bar know where to look to find it? if so, let me know and i will, its not like it takes any sort of time to make one. like 10 minutes at the most.
i can make them for well any rom (i think, not tested on rogers but i could try) just give me your rom (with a link to it would be nice) and i will see what i can make happen

Thanks a lot for this. I have been wanting this for quite some time, but kept telling myself I should just learn how to sign the zip on Linux and do it myself.

I was excited for this, but had some real issues. Number one, it will overwrite Stericsson's lock screen (makes sense since we replace the framework-res.apk and services.jar). Secondly, each time I use this, even after a fresh wipe and install, gmail force closes (and yes, I have tried fix_permissions).

I'll look into stericson's lockscreen when i get home from work tonight ,and i don't know why it would mess up gmail since it doesn't touch the .apk. i will look into this and see if i can get gmail to force close.

Thank you very much. I was very confused why Gmail would close myself. I tried many combinations of wiping and flashing, but each time my gmail would force close.

I tried this on 4.2.11.1 and I ended up doing a backup recovery. I would really like to have a black notification bar. Please help me in achieving this goal...
update, ya i figured it out with metamorph...

Desensitize Sky Raider 2.2 and other de-odexed Sense ROMs.

first of all Kudos and a big thanks to ihtfp69 for making a great Froyo ROM for our phones, he has done one hell of a job.
I am not that big on HTC Sense, it has it's good parts but I don't use half of what is included. that said i have created a little update that will remove all the necessary files to have as close to a Senseless ROM as possible with the stock lockscreen and the bootup sound. you will end up with the same Froyo ROM but without HTC Sense.
and one more time for good measure, this is NOT a ROM, it is a zip file with apps, and instructions to delete certain Sense apks.
Apply this update as you normally would through recovery. below is a list of removed apps and apps that I have added.
This will work on Sky Raider's or any other de-odexed Sense ROM, and As always I am not responsible for your device in any way, shape, or form.

A big thanks to Unrevoked for the root tools, and for everyone here that has given me tips and advice, couldn't have done it without the people on xda

Nice Job! I'm about to wipe my old Sky fire and install 1.7. I will try this right after so that you can have some feedback. I'm curious to see the linpack and quadrant with a lot of the sense apps removed.
Thanks for your hard work! I LOVE this forum!

How about calling it "Sky Raider's Insensitive Froyo!"

Thanks man, saves me time taking it apart myself
Should warn people though that removing Freindstream.apk is going to make Facebook/Contacts sync not function...

thanks for reminding me, I added that in.

Is there any way to get the stock phone and dialer into this ROM instead of the HTC versions? I may be in the minority but one of the things I like best about the Stock Android ROM's is the way the phone UI is laid out.

It works as advertised. Thanks for the work. I've attached some screenshots.
The linpack's and quadrants didn't change:
Sky Fire's 1.7 as it comes:
Linpack 35-36 Quadrant high 700's
with Hydra's UV\OC 1.115 (with and without the sense apps)
Linpack 40-45 Quadrant mid 800's

still need to hold out until camera works but thanks for this effort

I know I am going to miss the camera but the unrevoked v3 put me over the edge. Flashed to Sky Raider 1.8 and then ran your update. Seems to have worked perfect. Thank you for this!

Thanks very much for this!

i went to 1.8 and then flash this sense removal, but i still want to be undervolted, am I able to flash that kernel with I have done so far or will i break my phone by doing that?

this sense removal tool does not affect your kernel in any way, whatever kernel you have after installing SR 1.8 will still be the same after this removal zip. flashing SR 1.7 to 1.8 will change your kernel, and if you were using a different kernel you will have to reflash that kernel.

I have now added two sense remover zip files that will add droid X boot animation (red and Blue) I have also added zips that will just add bootanimation (blue and red) for the users that have already run the sense remover, or for anyone that wants to change the bootanimation.

yes it is done the same way. I will add that in the OP

So, just in the interest of experimentation, I ran this Sense removal script on a 2.1 stock. Interestingly, it seemed to work pretty darn well with the only major flaw I'm noticing is that the unlock screen requires you to drag the unlock up and the silent down. Kinda sweet if you hate sense but want to keep your camera. Now to figure out why that unlock screen is being a weirdo...
EDIT: Also, the boot animation didn't seem to push properly. No biggie, though.
EDIT #2: Scratch that. Definitely running into more errors. Lol. Well my curiosity is satisfied.

could someone post the apks for the Twitter widget and the HTC clock/weather? I miss the stop watch and count down timer in the clock and the HTC Twitter widget is the best ive seen of the free widgets. tank you.

will this fix the bug with Barcode Scanner where it shows all your contacts as numbers when you try to share them?
I'm waiting for SkyRaider to get the camera on, but once he gets it i'll probably switching over. I don't really like/use sense though, and was curious if this fixed an annoying-ass bug.

[DEV ADVICE NEEDED] Considering Casual ROM-building

Let me explain what I mean by "casual". I've come to find that I always end up removing stuff from custom ROMs that I don't like/don't use and end up with something much much better.
With NFX's permission (should he give it) I'd like to make a custom ROM based on my slimmed down approach, one that left me with tons of free space, lots of free RAM, great battery life, and smooth operation. I'm looking at the ROM right now, and I'm wondering; is there anything special I need to know about adding my own apks to be preinstalled with the ROM? I'd like to add Fancy Widget and LauncherPro since I stopped using the Sense Launcher. My ideal setup is one where the app is recognized by the market so that it can be updated as and when needed. Also, what can I do to ensure that LauncherPro is the default launcher?
I'd love to get into this. I'm not big on code editing but have no issue with doing so when needed, can anyone nudge me in the right direction?
Update #1: My first attempt failed . I was using Nfinite's Odexed NFX Rom. I tried to just change around the apps in the data/app/ folder. Also attempted to delete all the HTC Sense Widgets beforehand. (I do this after install, but I wanted to do it before.) Should I not be working with an odexed ROM, and is there some sort of signature process that I need to be using?

Pretty sure you need deodexed.

Search for avabox on these forums. It has the zip signing tool to make the zip flashable after editing it. And many other helpful tools

Like some else said you'll need the deodexed rom. Also if your altering the rom for personal purposes there is no need to ask nfinite... if you post the rom then you'll need to ask and give props.
Next you need some kind of rom manager tools so that you can sign and zip align your apk and have a flashable after you make your changes. maybe read threw the rom cooking guide on the hero wiki page also.

You most definitely what an odexed ROM. Its been a while since I messed with it, but i think you will want to place apps you want updated in /data/app. As for the default launcher, it should ask which one you want as default when you first boot into the ROM.

@[email protected] Confusion. A few people above have said I need deodexed?

The only problem you will run into with odexed vs deodexed is changes to any jar files within an apk on system. Only really applies to framework level edits. Things like removing haptic or rotary lock screen or battery percentage mods, etc.

Ah. Nah, the only thing I'd love to experiment with is to swap out images and png files. The functionality of the ROM and its inner workings are fine . Assuming that I can remove all the HTC widgets and a few of the apps I won't be using (using LP, so Sense Widgets are unneeded), and that I can set a default launcher, and perhaps mess around with all the status bar icons/button images, that's all I want to do

You will need deodexed

You can always re-Odex it afterwards.
I assume you've realized this, as you have a stable odexed ROM out, but I'm putting it up for reference's sake. Don't want someone reading the thread and getting the wrong idea.

[METAMORPH] hakkeshou tazz/tenzo sense froyo espresso (2010-11-07 - Work Around)

For users of the newly released sense froyo ROMs who can't stand the stock sense launcher I whipped up a quick espresso style morph (search for Metamorph here or the market) to hold everyone over until they are done getting this fully working so you don't have to deal with that pathetic stock launcher (odd considering HTC are essentially mobile interface gods to many of us here).
WORKAROUND FOR REPORTED ISSUE:
If you run into any issues it seems unzipping it outside of MM and dropping it into /sdcard/AndroidThemes manually should work around it.
http://labs.cities2night.com/droid/hakke_tenzo _tazz_sense _froyo_2.2_espresso_morph.zip
For those who asked about 2.1, yes should work fine. Nothing but PNGs are in this morph so it will work on any rosie launcher.
Screenshot attached.

Haven't tried it yet but thanks in advance!

Would this work for a 2.1 sense rom?

I couldn't get this one in this thread to do anything period because it's not signed right according to Metamorph, but the one in the link I posted worked like a charm for xtrSense 4.6.

just fyi for anyone running Tenzo 2.2 Sense, this mm theme hangs while applying the htc.resources and then gets caught in a boot loop. I'll try to just apply the rosie theme and see if that takes at all.
EDIT: I knew it was a longshot to use a 2.1 theme on a 2.2 rom, but yeah it didn't take at all. Hopefully either i can figure out how to do hakkeshou's one or he will fix it.

It should work if you press menu in metamorph and then settings then check the box that says Disable all warnings, I extracted the entire zip into its own folder in androidthemes.

Wow thanks, that worked perfectly!

Thanks for feedback. Since I made the morph I just copied the filer to /sdcard/AndroidThemes so the issue seems to be caused by using MM to unzip the theme folder into that folder.
Odd but but at least my hunch was verified to be correct. I'll update the OP.

[Q] Sense 5.0 Lockscreen

I was wondering if it would be posible to take the apk for the sense 5.0 lockscreens out and put them into a rom running 5.5? I miss tha photo album lockscreen and would like to put it on a rom with a 4.4 build preferably viperrom.

Would it work if i replaced the HTCLockscreen.APK from ViperOne_5.5.1 with the APK from Stock W Goodies 2.09 ROM that i am currently running?

Well it could work but it will definitely mess up some tweaks as lockscreen.apk is modified to incorporate the respective Viper tweaks.
Why not just try it? Pull a backup of the Viper apk (or you could also dirty flash the ROM later if things break) and then adb push the older lockscreen and see what happens...
<--=|[ mobile Viper bite ]|=-->

I will try that, i wasn't sure if i could just push that APK over the old one. I will give it a try.
Thanks

Just to be clear i can just push HtcLockScreen.apk and it should install over the other one. I will try it later after i get off work and post what happened tomorrow.

I think @Sneakyghost didn't get want you want to do.
He thought you want to take the lockscreen.apk from ViperOne 5.0.0 and replace it in our current one.
To answer your question correctly: No you wont be able to simply take the Sense 5.0 lockscreen apks and put them into a Sense 5.5 rom to get the lockscreen styles back. Tbh I see no way to get them back without spending massive time on it...one notice here, without proper coding knowledge and reverse egnieering you wont be able to achive anything here. I'm pretty know of the code responsible for the lockscreen..both the Sense 5.0 and Sense 5.5 one...and actually I would say it's impossible to achieve without owning the source code.

Bummer! OK thanks for the answer. Not a deal breaker or anything, just thought it might be worth a try.
