I've been switching back and forth between TrickDroid and ARHD, both great roms, not trying to incite a flame war.
What I enjoyed about TrickDroid was the ability to customize my status bar. Does anyone have any tips or app suggestions that will allow me to do this with ARHD? I'm not really a pro in terms of customization when it comes to code. I simply know how to flash roms and fiddle with some things here and there.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Android revolution is suppose to be more stock. Trickdroid is suppose to be more customizable. You won't get the same level of customization out of android revolution. Now team venom has released their Rom which is even more customizable.

Yeah that's what I would've guessed. I was able to add a few customizations. Doing the circle mod which is on the official thread for ARHD, as well as the Rosie Nav Bar.
I like the ability to change the colors of my time and battery and stuff like that.

Does anyone have a flashable ICS blue battery mod they'd be willing to share? I'm running DarkRaider and the green battery is really the only thing I don't like about it and would like to change to a blue ICS battery.
I keep trying to use the UOT kitchen but every time I've checked there over the last couple of days it's been saying it's full so I can't try to use that.
I'd be willing to try building a flashable battery mod myself if someone could point me in the direction of some good instructions that I could use. I have photoshop and am willing to take the time to learn is that's the only route to getting there.

I don't see a "Boston choice" in the theme Options section? All I see are:
-Stock HTC ICS (sense w/ lingering ICS blue)
-Sensitized Stock (sense with removed ICS blue, All HTC Green)
-ICSense (sense made mostly ICS blue. Best w/ NonSense)
Has anyone tried the ICSense with the Sense option? The reason I use this ROM is because I really like the Sense experience plus the few tweeks he's built in. I'm sure there's a reason he's stated this is best with NonSense so I would like someone who's maybe to tried it to let me know what issues it causes?
I used the ics theme option with sense and had no issues
Thanks guys. I'll give the theme a shot and see if I encounter any issues. I'd still like to learn status bar icon mods if someone has a good link.

Upload Framework-res.apk, choose your battery icon mod, let the kitchen do it's thing.
framework-res.apk is all that's needed for batteries, but if you're going to do other things, you may need other system files
Hi everyone, I'm a HTC Incredible S user (stock) from Australia that has been increasingly frustrated with HTC support (lack of stock update to ICS due to carrier, Virgin Mobile), so I decided to take the matter to my own hand.
Question been: I have been browsing around the forum for various ROM to flash (read the important notices and all such), but one question come to mind... since I am using Go Launcher (free version, got sick with stock HTC sense) what are the con for said launcher? Is it recommended to replace stock/ROM launchers with it?
Thanks everyone for helping out.
It's up to you, I don't like Sense <=3.6 either.
I think the more popular launchers here on XDA are Nova and Apex.
The cons are that the Sense launcher will continue to use up memory as a system service but that can now be stopped using this.
Launchers are mostly for customization. Go launcher is among the best available to replace stock launcher. If you're going to root your device then you'll have the liberty to choose whether you want a sense based rom or just plain vanilla rom (rom without sense framework and interface).
As of my experience, I'm liking apex launcher for its simplicity and ease of use, but if you are willing to spend some bucks, i would recommend tsf launcher, nice eye candy yet still not a burden to system resources.

+1 for Apex - I like how you can change the name and icon for the app in the home screen among other customisations all for free.
Some apps in Google Play are great but their icons are sh1te
Thanks for suggestions guys! Much appreciated!
Just one more question to ask: which ROM is the best recommended to go for right now? I was thinking Nik's JB ROMs, but half afread the phone might not be able to run it smoothly (store mobile Incredible S with stock ICS update lag like hell...)
Thanks very much.
EDIT: opps forgot to mention, without HTC sense...
Smoothest experience and best battery/performance close to stock:
ARHD or The Second Sun rom
Nonverbose's kernel
ultrasmooth rosie
v6 supercharger
Andrev daemon
Project butter hacks
I agree with markj on his suggested rom and tweaks. If you're looking for non sense rom, give nik's jb rom a try.
EDIT : you tried that, my bad the rom still new, nik will further polish it in the future for sure
Personally, for plain-non sense-ics rom, i prefer icecoldsandwich together with those tweaks (minus kernel) mentioned.

I had the same experience as you when I updated with the OTA stock ICS update... almost hurled my phone at the wall with the lags and rubbish battery life.
IceColdSandwich worked well for me but I'm now using CodeName JB (I like to roll with the cool kids) and both have been very smooth, the latter much more so IMO.
A thing to note if you are snap happy - the camera quality in AOKP/AOSP ROMs will not be as good as Sense ones. Just something I noticed as well as others in XDA.
Is there a specific reason why CleanRom hasn't been posted in the dev section? I am using cleanrom developer edition.. AOSP and Sense combination and it is unbelievable. got 13000 on Quadrant, Keeps Sense camera and gallery and has Vanilla JB feel (besides settings) also has back button hold for menu, Jellybean style lockscreen, advance power menu with nice icons. A real winner imo. Only things missing for my needs are IR blaster software which it says is coming, and batt %. He also has a stock style sense cleanrom
I don't believe he's working on HTC anymore he switched to the galaxy s4

Get a stock rom. Use Rom cleaner from android dev section and remove sense. Go to general android dev section Search for build.prop tweaks. Pack it all. Sign your Rom. Flash it . Voilaaa u have your own Cleanrom. and as a bonus you can go ask for recognised developer title too. Win win situation.

Scott's ROM's are discussed thoroughly on the AT&T One forums. Then he switched to Verizon (coverage issues where he lives I seem to recall?) and ceased all work on AT&T versions.
If the AT&T forums get merged with these forums you'll see a little more discussion I suppose..

hello! PA Halo is an open source projekt and it is being integranted in many AOSP Roms. Is there any way to port Halo to a Htc Sense 5 rom?

Nope, AOSP is coded differently to Sense5. Meaning the code doesn't just work and requires a lot of rewriting ect.
I believe halo had to be built in when your building aroma from source and since devs don't build sense from source it can't be built in.

Try using LMT Launcher, just search here in XDA. It offers PA halo like functionality called PIE.

if you really want Halo you can use PAC rom or PA itself because they are both really stable right now (have used both of them) but obsessively you lose a couple of sense features (i dont mind lol). But most likely Halo will never be on sense, but there is an app in the play store that makes your notification like that, but I have never tried it.
You will never see HALO in any non AOSP ROM. That's something you can count on.
I like how the guy asked something, not knowing the extent of what would be needed to actually do it, and gets a dozen "nope!"
I'm assuming he got the gist and didn't needed 30 chime-ins

Try floating notification..is near the same
Have a look at Floating Notifications in the Play Store. Reasonably similar in principle but doesn't open a smaller window of the app.

The GE ROM is not AOSP. It looks like AOSP but it's just an unskinned Sense base.
Impossible.

no one wants halo on sense .. do we?
While I think it would be a serious challenge, I'm not sure it'd actually be impossible. Miui builds based on OEM roms work on the same principle as what would need to be done to put halo into a sense build.
Additionally I think that the xposed module could be a big part of making this happen..
That being said, it's certainly not something I could do.
It's not impossible per se. But would take mountains of work as sense roms don't get built from source. So you can't merge it the ui and java edits needed.

If a dev ever got halo working on a sense Rom, either natively or through xposed, they'll be xda's superstar!

First of all - I don't own the One (I have an HTC DNA) but I figured here would be the better place to post it since more people who could answer could see it. I am a complete stranger to this forum section, so if I do something that the people here in this forum are against, I apologize. Also, I'm not sure if this belongs here or in Q&A, so moderators please move if in wrong place.
Now to the actual question,
Is there such a thing as a Sense 5 based launcher that is more customizable? The features I am wanting is things like disabling widget padding, disabling margins, overlapping widgets, and changing app icons/labels. If you don't understand what I am saying, I'll use an anolagy. Apex/Nova is to AOSP launcher, as what I'm asking about is to Sense 5.
All answers are greatly appreciated.

No. But viper Rom lets you customize the stock sense launcher more than HTC intended.

But can you use those modifications on another ROM? I'm interested it Elliptic ROM for my DNA (which was ported from the One, so you may be familiar with it), and I want to know if there is a way to use these Viper features on the DNA.

There are several mods (at least for the DNA) that do this. I am sure there are some for the One.

Do you mean the app switcher? Viper and several other ROMs have an option for the AOSP app switcher.

Could you just pull the prism.apk from the viper launcher? I'm actually curious to know if doing that would work to get the viper sense 5 settings in another ROM, say ARHD for instance..
