Does anyone know of a way to port LP widgets to TouchWiz? I like LP but it has some issues, here and there, that I don't like. However, when I saw how cool the Facebook and other widgets were I decided to buy the full version. I really like to be able to use TouchWiz with these widgets.
Not possible (as of yet?) since it's tied to the launcher.
The widgets are the main selling point for LauncherPro Plus. It may be me, but it seems like Federico wouldn't enjoy knowing about someone modifying his source code to move his widgets to another launcher.

Perhaps, but I bought the pro/donate version, so I should be able to do with it what I want.

haha how do you figure? Because I by 1 stock in Apple does that mean I can choose their next product? You bought the pro version for more options, or to possibly support the dev to continue working on his product. That does not give you the right to take it apart and use his widgets the way you want.

He's not using special, proprietary methods to code this stuff.
Anyway, I digress...thanks for the help guys.

Then code it yourself bud. Otherwise enjoy paying for his services.
Looks like there are many features from LP that can be used in TWLauncher, including Activities, Wallpaper, etc. Gonna email dev and talk to him about this - I'm betting he's game. I'll keep yal posted.

Then would anyone know similar widgets to the LP ones? kinda like beautiful widgets / fancy widgets for the HTC ones???
Whole reason why you use Launcher Pro isn't just the widgets.
But... with that being said - I bet if you email him he could put an options to disable the launcher and still allow you to use widgets.
If I updated to the leaked Froyo awhile ago, is the any good reason to go to the official build?
There's the Genie Widget that comes stock. It's a pretty cool looking clock... Oh, and for the love of god I could never get it to install w/ the leaked Froyo.

Isn't that just the Daily Briefing app that was also in stock 2.1?
1st time android user - still to get phone

No, not really, Genie from what I've seen is like a clock interface. Like Sense UI, Fancy or Beautiful Widgets. I could be mistaken though of course.
All I know is that it is better.
Plus, as a tweaker/themer, you can mod the genie widget how you want color wise, which is why I have interest in it to begin with. However SiMi Clock widget is also really legit, I'm rocking it right now with my personal tron theme.
Hey, can anybody point me in the direction of a theme for any of the i897/i9000 roms (not CM7, MIUI, or AOSP) that is based off Windows Phone 7. I understand I can get Launcher 7, apps, etc; but I would like a theme.
I don't want a windows phone, so don't say "Get a Windows Phone if you want it" or anything to that regard, I just like the look.
Thanks in advance.
There aren't any for a non
Aosp i don't think. Maybe launcher pro or adw with a theme is the closest you'll get.
Why?
Why would anybody want a Windows theme on an Android? Just saying!!!

I didn't need a new launcher. I have launcher 7. I just needed themed apps/framework, but I decided to screw it.
Themed app icons? Or the entire app ui themed?

I wouldn't need themed icons when I said I had Launcher 7. I created this thread solely to see if anyone has made a theme, or could make one.
I know you decided to scrap the idea, but if you change your mind or someone stumbles upon this thread in the future (and the fact that I typed all this out and found all the links before I saw that you didn't want to do it anymore) I'll post this anyway.
I did this a few months back with some decent results. Keep in mind this is Gingerbread based as ICS didn't exist when I tried. YMMV on an ICS port.
I used MIUI with this theme. The project has been discontinued, but it may still work with more recent builds.
I used Launcher 7 (Free|Donate) but you may want to try out these apps which have recently become free. I have only seriously used Launcher 7, but previous versions seemed (I DID NOT TEST, this is just what it seemed like) to drain the battery a bit more than I liked. Again, this was months ago and not scientific and the battery "drain" was not serious.

I actually did that already lol, but I was looking for an i897 based samsung rom theme, but thanks a lot for the link to those free apps, I appreciate it!
I just had a thought. I really don't like the revo's messaging app (Mms.apk)
What would happen if I replaced it with the Mms.apk from another system? Like from CM7 or something? Would I lose the ability to text message? Maybe lose MMS?
Has anyone tried this on the revo?
Felt adventurous and backed up my phone, and then tried it.
Installed the AOSP 2.3.3 Mms.apk and it seems to work.
Will report back soon with full testing info.
Well, SMS works but MMS doesn't. I tried using the Mms.apk from CM7 for the Thunderbolt but had the same problem. Anyone know how to modify a stock AOSP Mms.apk to work on the Revo?
If you want a new Mms app there's tons of apps like Go Sms Pro, Handcent and some others Handcent and Go Sms pro are the most popular ones. Both of which are free.
Handcent +1

I checked chomp out just now and It doesn't really catch my eye and handcent doesn't either just something about Go products catches my eye.
I gave handcent another shot last night, didnt even make it a couple hours....although I hate how the stock one looks on the revo, i just like how fast and smooth it is compared to third party apps. They all get too bloated with features imo
also, go and handcent seem to consume quite a bit of RAM

Yeah, I get where you're coming from, but I still don't like how the LG app works. I love the stock android messaging app. I do not understand why carriers feel the need to get in there and fiddle with every damn thing in the OS. I almost wish Google and the OHA had pulled an Apple, and restricted the carriers from screwing with Android. I understand "open is open", but some of these OEM android systems are just horrible. MotoBLUR, anyone? -shudder-
I think it would have been good to require carriers, if they wanted to release a phone with a "tinkered" android OS on it, to also provide a ROM download to users who would like to just have a stock experience. No BLUR, no Sense, no LG whatever, no TouchWIZ..

Here's the one that I just started using yesterday, sms and mms are working fine for me:
http://205.196.122.19/jf263azi8b1g/0ut04hvxra0rvoj/Mms.apk
It's the (very) basic mms but with a black background. I'm pretty sure I grabbed it off of http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=17790.0 but I'm not 100% sure since the download link is down on that site now. The screenshots are also on that site (v1.1)
edit: nevermind... it won't send mms

Never had any issues, don't know what some people are complaining about. There are themes but you can also just change the color of the background, the incoming font and out going font, bubbles or no bubbles and change the colors of the bubbles.. very customizable. Think someone in here made a handcent theme in the themes and apps section.

I might not have saved it but if you search within the handcent themes for "volted ice" I think I made one and saved it. Can't remember though if it was for Volted Ice or GingerFusion.

I am going to move away from textra and need a new sms/mms app that is simple, lightweight and fast..
I am currently looking at these three apps but I am not sure what their differences are and which I should use?
AOSP SMS which comes with DirtyUnicorn ROM
Hangouts
Google messenger
Any suggestions? Thanks

I use Google Messenger. I find it is lightweight, doesn't have many tweaking options, but love that each contact can be assigned a different color.
Hangouts is nice if you also have Hangouts contacts...
AOSP, usually you will find the CM version which has nice tweaks, but still needs some Material Design improvements.
I personally like Google messenger
any reason for ditching textra? Ive been using it for the past 8+ months and really like it but since ive grabbed a nexus 6 ive debated switching to google messenger.
I switch back and forth between Google messenger and textra. Both are great apps
Man, I'm guessing due to the new ads. Just use an ad blocker. The dev even states that most nexus users use the free version with ads. Wonder why?
I like the tweaks of cm aosp messengers just to last to try and pull the latest one from 12.1 and use it so I'm using google messenger til I find 12.1 aosp cm apk pulled alrdy

Nothing compares to AOSP mms, in terms of feature set, lean footprint and overall flexibility...one can choose from a vast array of sharing options, attach media from a multitude of sources (as opposed to the retarded way that messenger does it, with its attach options of real-time photo or recent pics), signature line, drop-in notification feature that allows you to respond pretty much on the fly...the list goes on and on.
And unlike these choices from the play store, the apk is less than 5 MB, and when residing in system, priv-app, it'll remain lean and work swiftly.
Play Store alternatives with even half of the features balloon up to 20+ MB before a single option is set.
And it's themable, with the smallest of overlay apks to fully theme it.
Why this isn't in every AOSP rom is just baffling.

I'm using it now...I just grabbed it from a different AOSP 5.1.1 rom ,and pushed the folder and apk to system, priv-app, set permissions, and rebooted.
Unfortunately, it can't be completely themed in that rom, inasmuch as the commits to do so are not present. I made the request and it was rejected, which is the right of the dev, and which I respect.
I'm not complaining at all, but just know that if you put it in Chroma, the action bar will be themed, but it'll be white backgrounds everywhere.
Ugh.

DirtyUnicorns ROM > Chroma
DirtyUnicorns ROM comes with a modified/improved + themed AOSP messenger. And yes I use it too now instead of google messenger or other 20MB alternatives.
Evolve sms I have been using it for about 2 years now. I like it a lot. A lot of customizations. Plus a lot of updates and development. Hundreds of themes on the play store most are free. I tried it and never went back. It is that good. I have never had one problem with it.

Just download Benzo (it's not a block build, so one can actually see what is in the rom zip), unzip, and push the folder and apk to system, priv-app, fix permissions, and reboot.
Just make certain that you have no mms layers applied, or the app will force close.

Try EvolveSMS. Very actively developed. But to each his own.
I use Google messenger. I use Team Blackouts apps (TBO).
