Hi all...read about Sense themes for other phones on CM7...
I downloaded the sense.apk and I want to know if it is in fact working ok on the TB.
I'm not a fan of LPP, ADW, etc. I like sense. Hate all you want...lol.
I would like to try the CM underpinnings with the Sense face/feel.
TIA!
you are completely defeating the purpose of putting CM7 on your thunderbolt. If you like sense stick with the sense roms if you hate sense like a good percentage of people out there go with CM7.
Maybe I'm not understanding properly.
A sense theme is a bit different than running sense itself, no?
I would like the speed and battery life of CM7 but the look of sense.
The speed and life would still be CM7 based, not sense based...or am I way off base here?
Maybe a better question is...has anyone on CM7 tried a sense theme and reported differences in speed and battery life...?

Not true at all. Some use CM7 because Sense is so bloated, not necessarily for looks. I wouldn't mind having the speed and lightweight of CM7 with the looks of Sense.
Also, to the OP. You can make the device look like Sense with the 'HTC Elegance, theme and LPP with some tweaks to make it look like Sense, but it would be too much to get the Sense launcher onto CM7 if that's what you're asking.

Exactly what I was getting at. Thank you!
I'm looking for the correct link for these themes that will work on the TBolt.
Or...is CM7 generic in this nature? I've got a great CM7 nandroid I keep going back and playing with...this would be the icing on the cake possibly.
Try inj3cttheory its a desensed Rom with most of the best parts of sense lest in its fast great battery life but still has a slight sense feel

If you are using themes, as long as you download one that says 'hdpi', you should be set. I'm not sure if HTC Elegance is hdpi (i believe it is), but as long as it's hdpi you shouldn't have a problem using the theme on CM7
This should, in fact, work on CM7 for the TB

Thank you to all. Gonna give CM a fighting chance.

Totally forget the name right now, but there is a launcher that will mimic the Sense style launcher.... It also does a few other styles. Hopefully someone else knows what I'm talking about and can give you a name.

I was rocking Koni's rom up until 2.07, but then I moved over to Buufed's roms, and I LOVE the theme.
Now that Koni's got OC a nice rosie theme, and everything I'm not sure if I should switch or just use the O/C kernel over buufed.
Yes I know one has sense, and one doesn't, but I'm getting use to AOSP feel.

I like the stock sense look, I use DamageControl with overclock.
Is me or does it seem like there isn't that must interest in full scale flashible themes for this phone? There are definitely a few great themes available but other than that there does seem to be much going on in the thunderbolt world. I know the phone hasn't been out long but as time goes by it seems that there is less interest than there was at the beginning. I would love to start seeing some more ports , that would be great. Anyways just thought I would share my piece of mind. I do want to thank any and all of those who have put time and effort into making themes for this phone because without you guys this phone would be bland just like any other non themed phones

I was hoping to have one together by now but I'm catching hell from my wife about the time I'm spending on this phone. I've taken a break but plan to put together a theme with red icons, I was also starting work on a white theme with black Icons and text but my favorite white theme is being worked on already.
attempt to theme sense yourself and you will no longer wonder why there are no themes.

The incredible was out for how long... Over a year. The thunderbolt has been out for a few months. Honestly I think there is a lot of stuff for this phone for the short life span. I'm loving every minute of it.. give it time. There will a lot more with time

100% true....but it's not just Cyanogen it's all AOSP ROM's compared to Sense. There is so much interconnected stuff in Sense it's not funny.
On top of it all the htc.resources.apk has over 1700 images and that's only 1 app.

Are there any ASOP roms yet besides CM7? All the ones I've downloaded that say "ALL Sense removed" still have some sense and the htc.resources.apk

No, not yet, CM is the only one for the Thunderbolt as of now (that I know of). I was really just speaking in general about any HTC phone that has Sense and AOSP ROM's.

Strong this.
Agreed with the ridiculous resources folder, so many images used all over the place, cant even make sense of most of them, and just when you think you finally got them all, you have to hunt for 1 more (rinse repeat x100!) Every night for the last month I have gone to bed cursing the HTC devs.
Happy to say though I do have a new theme, hopefully it'll drop this weekend, just finishing up a few extras. And getting last input from the testers.
currently running on the infected rom but will quickly be ported to BAMF

Im no dev but I am sure that the actual 3.0 lockscreen is part of the HTC Sense framework therefore cannot be ported over easily over to CM7 which is built up from stratch. It was a bit like having the Ginger 2.3 CRT effect on Froyo 2.2, which it just does not work as easily has an APK or zip flash.

SO SO ESSENITALLY answer!
There is no way to use it in clear AOSP ROM... as it need a lot of SENSE components like weather, nad other apks that wont run on CM...
Thanks peeps
Just a shame it isn't possible coz the cm7 lockscreen is pretty bland and I wudnt want an app to replace it
Widget Locker is pretty good if you want another lockscreen, check it out

Is there any way to get the sense lock screen but much more customizable. Like a lock screen from WidgetLocker?
Cause the lockscreen is fine by itself but lacks customization...
Why can't we get a music player on the sense lock?
i have the link but i cant post it since im new
sadly i try it on my incredible2 running cm7 stable it didnt worked installed fine but i dont see it even after reboot
in fact it felt slow and weird after reboot
Actually guys, I have seen it on MIUI. There is an NDT MIUI ROM floating around which has the sense Lockscreen. Now we all know that CM7 and MIUI are both from aosp. So if it working on MIUI it should be able to work on CM7 with a little bit of porting. We already have examples of the camera and music apps from MIUI working on CM7. So from my point of view it should work if you are ready to get your hands a little dirty.

Congrats about your Sense 3.0 lockscreen on CM7... It's not free though...
i try the agile lock also is buggy and is lacking features in my opinion unless you get the paid version i guess
Try livelocker : https://market.android.com/details?id=net.livelocker&feature=search_result
I find it pretty cool and beautiful with some nice configs and with the ring style.
Is it possible to make the new miui lockscreen flashable just like the miui camera is?
Should be able to. Just try to push it to system/app before you do just to make sure its gonna to work first.
The lockscreen in miui isn't an apk so I don't think it is that easy. I doubt their lockscreens will work on other rom's either.
Oh ok. well I don't know much about miui. Im sure someone could figure it out though
Just use MIUI its better anyway.... Has Iphone, sense3.0, and gingerbread lockscreens without zips to install just go into themes...
I'm pretty sure it's tied into the framework... so, lots of work to do there if you're truly interested, haha. I'd use MIUI but CM7 is just faster and there's a million more, IMO, useful customization features compared to MIUI... pretty much the whole Cyanogenmod Settings tab. The one thing that really bugs me about MIUI is the menu system. It's beautiful, as it replicates that of the iPhone, but it's always been so laggy for me, I can't deal with it.

That's a shame. From the pictures, it looks like a combination between the honeycomb ring/ripple-lock and the sense 3.0 ring-lock. Both of which I like, so the newest miui lockscreen had me all excited. Lol

MIUI is built from open source but the rom itself isn't open source. It simply isn't possible.
MIUI > Vanilla Android
I was a loooooooooong time CM6 and CM7 user. But the latest MIUI is blazing. IMHO it's faster than CM7 in day to day use (I don't benchmark) and more stable.
MIUI has so many hidden subtleties throughout the ROM. Use it for a week and see if you like it
I liked MIUI in the froyo days. It was super stable and smooth. However ever since Gingerbread it's been much laggier across the board and far less stable than the froyo build. Swiping between homescreens is no longer smooth unless you use a hack that disables wallpaper scrolling (miuiandroid build) or keep your homescreens widget free with minimal icons. Of course if you use an alternate launcher then that isn't even a concern. But as mentioned earlier, the menus are also very laggy and annoying to use. I will admit the new dark theme makes it look a dream, but it has a bug that makes screen rotation take a relatively long time to flip and as such less usable.
CM7 may not have the aesthetic superiority that MIUI has but at least everything is smooth and gingerbread. I would love to see the MIUI lockscreen on CM7 but that will never happen.

To all that have a complaint about MIUI - the rotation lag is normally tied to a theme at the moment, I don't get lag anywhere else. Make sure you try your favorite launcher as well - I don't like the one that comes with it but if I swap over to Go launcher everything is nice and smooth again and I can find my stuff!
On the other hand, I have never found a rom other than CM7 with so much raw speed. CM7 will restore all my stuff insanely fast - all others are fairly slow in comparison. But how often do you go restoring everything unless you swap roms daily and are on fresh builds! I have really been enjoying MIUI lately, especially with the new themes and lock screens.
I'd say my favorite thing about MIUI is not having to install a decent camera app everytime. That was kind of annoying with CM7 which is otherwise wonderful as is.
It's themeing! Honestly I like the holo look of ics. I also like the textured look of sense. And it seems while sense 4 is just as intrusive as previous versions, they redid the graphics and tweaked in ics features to blend quite well with the holo elements in tact. However this isn't the case with 3.6. 3.6 really is just a tweaked 3.5 designed to work with ics. Problem is there are 2 themes present here. A lot of menus your seeing holo elements and but you still have textured borders of old sense everywhere in the ui. The result is a ui with a loss of identity. You can install custom skins that help but they still leave a lot of textured sense borders that can't be removed as the skins only go so deep.
I will say overall I like sense and buying an HTC phone I didn't expect AOSP. I think if they couldn't give us 4 than 3.6 should of at least been designed better to blend in with holo elements. And one thing I don't get about HTC is they always remove the overscroll effect. I'm going to root my phone soon and first order or business will be fixing the themeing. I dunno if ill put a custom Rom on yet just want more theming control to start. Imo I don't want a pure senseless Rom as I do like sense

Nice wording man, I like the "yet" part... It's definitely an interesting community! Ever since I joined, I've installed Ubuntu on my Core i7 Dell laptop along with Android 4.0.1 on VirtualBox, I really hope to get involved in the dev community myself in the future.
Yeah I've been pressed for time but I've been wanting to learn how to develop for my HTC Flyer tablet and my Vivid. With the Flyer its creating a better stock launcher that interest me as with it being on honeycomb and support being cut off from htc, there aren't a whole lot of choices. For this phone its cleaning up the stock rom and allowing ics and Sense 3.6 to coexist in perfect harmony. No promises on anything yet

I don't consider my self a dev either...yet
But I do have some experience with the development on the Samsung infuse (which you can tell by my Sig)
I've been trying to mess with the stock rom for a while now with no luck...I just can't seem to get any apktool to work with stock ics of this device, and after a little research it seems sense 3.6 is the problem, but I have yet to find a solution
I've asked a few times for help on decompiling for the vivid but have gotten no response...I'm not trying to discourage you all i wanna get across is that if you have any success...please share the knowledge with me

Yeah htc makes someone nice devices but they aren't developer devices for sure. I'll let you know once I get involved in it what I can do might be why most flash the sense removed roms as its all or none.
Yeah overall I like sense 3.6 just hate the theme clashing. Good example is hitting the search button. All of a sudden your not using sense 3.6 anymore, your now using aosp android! I think I remember reading Google required a certain percentage of holo elements for market access, and I think htc kept that in mind in redesigning sense from the ground up with the one series. But when it came time to upgrade what they had they just basically ported 3.5 over and added a few ics features into the launcher. HTC claims that 4.0 is too different from 3.5 and earlier and previous users need familiarity but Imo if you've played with a one x its all pretty familiar. 3.6 overall was a bad call

My one major gripe with Sense is the lack of changing things. I'd like to be able to (without using LauncherPro) tell it "I want 5 columns, and 6 rows of icons, on top of the 5 at the bottom. (so a total of 7 rows of icons, 5 columns)"
It WORKS well, just see some photo's I've posted in recent days.

I hear ya, but thats all stock launchers including the google one. Sense 3.6 has some of the best customization for stock I've seen, but it still pales in comparison to say ADW EX, Go Launcher, or Apex.
alright...for the longest time ive been trying to use apktool with the "att stock ics for chefs or whatever" never had luck...today i decided to try apktool with an old download of 0.9 holics rom, to my surprise apktool works with it-i was able to install framework, decompile, recompile...it all worked!
so im wondering if maybe the stock ics wasnt properly deodexed, or maybe with holics rom something special was done? when i get the time im gonna try contacting bananacakes and see if maybe he can help me set up a stock base, or possibly use a stock base he may have laying around...ive tried making my own stock rom in the past from the RUU but got the same errors as the att stock rom for chefs...
