Hey guys / gals..
My girlfriend saw what I did to my phone, and fell in love with it.... but she wants it to look more, girly. I know i know...
So, are there any good roms floating around, that have a pink / purple look to them? Just curious....
or could I install the new duttys rom and get it to look more girly using some program?
Any info is helpful, thanks
Try Schaps ROMs. Here is a WM 6.1 one. These ROMS are good...and have lots of Purple in them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364048
Try Schap's. His trademark is the purple theme and skins... =)
Well, the Schaps ROM is as purple as they come!
And it's a very stable, well designed ROM - try 4.40 for WM 6.1
EDIT: These three posts came up at the same instant! That's why they are so repetitive

Yea... it's cool. LoL... that means it's good information!
I've never used any ROM's except for Dutty's so I didn't really know who had something stable and who didn't.
If anyone has any other suggestions keep them coming... i'll keep checking this thread. Thanks again
Dude,
Why dont you download ROM that you are familiar with so that if your girl want you to do some tweaking or ask you help on this and that, at least you know the ROM and save yourself from embarrassing moments not knowing how to answer your girl's question.
Then, look for themes that looks pinkish or have flowers or anything girlish. Rite?

You beat me to that answer. Windows 6.1 roms have some "nice!" home themes too that can be used.
I would also recommend you check out _Alex_ roms. He has done a lot of hard work, research and tends to answer any questions about his roms. He is not out for fame and his feet are firmly on the ground so I would whole heartily recommend trying out perhaps his Multimedia rom or his home rom. Ask your girlfriend to write a list of specs she wants from her htc. Then go shopping for the best rom. Once you have done that then hunt down some home screen cabs with the colours she wants.

Alex roms seem more stable than any others I have tried and I have tried a great deal. Also the above link has a great deal of info and images and a easy to follow wiki specific to his roms etc.
All the best

Good information, thanks I suppose I could just skin the ones she has... but I figured i'd see if there were any out there already done up. Skinning only changes SOME things... wasnt sure if there were any roms out there that would change the calc and dialpads to some "pretty" colors lol.
Anyway, thanks for the help.. think i got my answer(s).
Try to get her to do the flashing/installing. In this way we will atleast have a flashing addict with a girl that likes it too.
I guess there are not many of us around that can say, our girls/wives like flashing
Here's a great site with zillions of themes:
http://www.pocketthemes.com/download.php?op=viewdownload&cid=1
Install SPB Mobile Shell....you can use colors like red, green, pink, etc.....
Along with Schaps Rom as you can see is the #1 suggestion

1. This was from droidforums. A member there began to try to port it, but failed. He had no support tho, it was a solo mission that no one helped him with, but i'm pretty sure the top heads of XDA can make it work. I have faith in this Development community as they never cease to amaze. If teamwin can get 4G on CM, and if orebammas got a semi working HDMI than i believe the APK can be ported

3. Where did you get the apk i don't see it in the thread?
i pulled it from here http://ge.tt/#6Tazle3 which was posted on the 2nd page of that thread. Apparently he got some apks to work from GTV but not all
4. Why did you post this in the Development section??!! i hate u!! rawr!
Because this needs DEVELOPERS. Themers and People who change out png's in apps aren't going to get this done.
So if you're like me and want netflix everywhere you go from the convenience of your phone, show support! and keep this thread alive.
Good luck Devs!
Nice! I'm sure someone can get it working
Awesome, would love to see this working! Need to put my netflix subscription to more use!

Hey guys,
New user here (and a CS major), so I know a little bit about what rooting and flashing is, however have NEVER done it, so implementation wise, I'm very naive about how to do it, and I definitely don't want to mess my phone up. My first Android device was purchased in November of last year with the MyTouch 4G. Made a great decision. Decided to upgrade to a G2X just recently, got it in Friday, purchased the docks for it today (which yes, I am slightly disappointed with)....but I miss the HTC Sense ROM.
Basically I'm wondering if the HTC Sense ROM is smoother and if anybody is using it on the phone yet. Any feedback would be great. Thanks guys!
Also, is there any way to change what the "hard" buttons on the front are set to do? If I rooted it could I change what these buttons did. I'd like to use the 'genius' button that HTC has on their MyTouch 4G instead of search.
I've also read through some of the threads about rooting and flashing to a new ROM. Basically is there anything I should know being a newbie when it comes to flashing and changing the ROM on it? Any hints or tips?
Thanks again!
There are no roms for the G2x yet.
This includes steps for Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050534
Once you have root access, you can go into the Market and download "Rom Manager".
This will download and install a custom Recovery Console which allows flashing.
Again, the phone is so new, there are no available Roms available at this time. We do have Root and Recovery which is 2/3 the way there.
Again, so I'm a little new to this whole rooting stuff, so there is no HTC Sense that will work with this phone because I have found some downloads, but I'm just not sure if they would work.
Again, I'm new here, so I don't know if this is one of those things I will have to wait a while for or what...any idea based on past phones?

I also love HTC Sense. It's the only thing I miss about the MyTouch 4g. I'm not sure which ROMS you are referring to, but there are no ROMS available for our phone yet, including Sense ROMS. I'd be very careful about flashing anything until you're comfortable with the steps, and lingo.
Got the G2X last week, upgraded from a virgin G1. I am also new to the root world. I have been browsing around the site here for the last couple of days. There is a wealth of information here, but it is a little overwhelming... Is there a thread/sticky/website that goes over the basics for a beginner. I apoligize in advance for being a newb.....
Thanks,

you really,really,really, need to STOP, and read. not being an ass. but, you're saying you've found some downloads,yet have no idea what they are. ???? or what phone they're for. or if they'll brick your phone. the devs are working on things to make it super simple for people like you to root and install roms. do them a favor by reading. and then, read a little more. ask some questions. post them in the correct section. and take peoples advice. that's the best advice i can give you. and, read the stickies at the top of threads.

I actually work for T-Mobile, I feel pretty comfortable with what I'm doing, and have no qualms about flashing but I will be careful as always about it. Yeah, I REALLY miss the messaging portion and genius button of the mytouch. Would love to get those two options back....
Also about my second question, when flashed does it change the outter "hard" buttons too? For instance instead of search could I use the search button as a genius button?

In time I think there will more guides/stickies. Unfortunately for you guys, I think the majority of the people that bought a G2x came from previous phones that they were flashing, rooting, and modding. You're in the right spot. XDA is definitely the best place to learn.

so far, there's a hack to map the search button to the camera app. it works great. and the same button snaps pics if you like.
I hate HTC sense, and every other android skin for that matter, although certain tidbits of TouchWiz are nice. You won't find sense on the g2x anytime soon, it's designed for HTC phones specifically, so porting it to a different brand would be very difficult and tedious.

As was said before, there are no custom ROMs out yet. Once they start coming in, I'd ask that question to the devs so they could potentially make that an option

thanks, gotta say, that I love the phone, of course coming from a virgin G1, who wouldn't. Looking forward to learning and making it even better.
Thanks for the feedback guys, I found what I was asking. Sorry if this thread was in the wrong location, I guess I'm just antsy to see some HTC Sense ROMS.

Nice job not being an ass *blinks*, I HAVE read the stickies, and spent the past hour or so looking through threads, just looking for a little clarification. I didn't realize that there were different ROM for different Phones. (Thought it might be like Windows to PCs, doesn't matter on the manufacturer of the PC, you can install windows on it as long as it meets bottom end reqs) If I had understood that, I wouldn't have asked the question.
And don't act like I'm not Tech savvy. I fix computers as a side job, I'm a developer and about to graduate with a Computer Science degree from a good nationally certified university. But I haven't worked in phone development at all, so this stuff is something I'm learning about. Again, I was just asking a few questions, don't get your panties in a wad.
You wont see a sense rom anytime soon, this isnt a htc device. Return the phone and wait for the htc sensation

sorry bout the "treating you like a newb" lol. i'm just a techie, no dev skills. you probably know more crap than me. i just see "2 posts" and questions about how to root as "oh no, this guy\girl is going to brick their phone!"lol
no offense intended. i just come off the wrong way sometimes.

Yea I don't think we'll see a Sense rom but anything can happen. Usually people with Sense and the Genius button go the other way (want a dedicated search and pure android)
The good thing is Sense can be replicated to a certain degree using themed launchers. There are even iPhone themed launchers. I use Launcher Pro because they have several special widgets that function and behave much like some of the Sense variants. The recent release of Launcher Pro has added themes to the mix, and are already lots of "Sense" themed Launcher Pro widgets and dock styles.
As far as the Genius button, I've never used it. I DO know that the Search key is awesome and allows searching in most apps. Also you should download "Google Voice Search" (not Google Voice, that is Visual Voicemail) and map it to a long press of the search button. Then you can just press and hold and say, "map pizza" or "call mom" or "text girlfriend hey I'm running late. see you in 30 minutes."
Hey!
Sense is not impossible, but you're probably not going to see it for a looong time if it does ever happen. HTC's software mantra is "lock-and key"-- only HTC branded phones have the correct permissions/drivers/guts in general to flash Sense ROMs. I've been waiting for one on the Vibrant since release. They got one booting, but it's far from stable and the whole project has been abandoned due to difficulty.
I second the "read, read, read" theme. Go to the vibrant or atrix or nexus s forum for example. (any comparable smart/superphone will do). Read THOSE stickies/posts/comments in alllll the sections. You have to get a feel for the lingo around here. This website comes complete with its own independent subculture. Which is unfortunately titled "geek".
I would say the most important part to learning however, is trying... and then totally ****ing it up and freaking out aaaand, since you don't want to have a $200 brick on your hands, you are forced by circumstance to learn :] As a word of encouragement, I've been from vibrant to nexus one and back and I find that even with all the ass-backwards stuff I did the first time I tried making/flashing zips/unlocking bootloaders/using fastboot for the first time etc., it's actually pretty damn hard to brick a phone beyond repair if you have half a brain.
CS major eh? Went to carnegie mellon myself. The place was full of them :] Being that the g2x has no ROMs, you're a cs major and you're most likely monetarily bound to an open source phone os for the next 2 years, why not download the android sdk and start cookin' up some ROMs yourself??? I've been told by people who do it that it's not that hard to learn. Carpe Diem my friend.
Any questions? PM me. The community around here used to be really really cool and helpful and informative. Now it kind of sucks :/

perhaps they will notice the thread, ill wait for a while than perhaps ill contact them if they don't do it first
cheers for the informations tho
Don't trust this guy, My friend requested a simple banner. He only like to make for Known dev groups. And my friend got banned for 5 days because of him.
it was 3 days, because of rue behaviour... he insulted me so i reported him.
also i sad to him that i look for a deeper cooperation not only to make a banner and than go away.
maybe your friend is 14 years old and don't know how to behave, this is not my problem really.
Maybe you could post some examples of your work...this might get more interest
Also, maybe you should have posted this thread in the General Android Themes forum, rather than only in the Sensation one?

Wow Im trying to find a stable rom for my buddies mt4gs and their roms are all terrible maybe because its a laggards phone having that stupid keyboard and all. I love my Sensation and our developers kick ass !!!!!!
There's not much development for that phone at all.
Thankfully the Sensation is a worldwide device and we have dev's from all over the world making roms for us.
Yes the development on the sensation is great when you go to the development already you can find update every single day down there are you use or droid actually now it's called coin droid and it's updated all the time I love since 4 it's much better than all the other senses once people get a little bit more tweaks going for it it'll be perfect so I also thank the devs good job.

Watch your language and attitude when posting on XDA.
Or suffer the consequences...
Having previously been on the MT4GS before this, I can tell you that the phone doesn't suck whatsoever. In fact, with the physical keyboard I actually prefer it to the Sensation. I do like the big screen I must admit, but the MT4GS can do everything this phone can do (and the camera pummels this one). Yes, there's a lack of support for the phone despite having the same hardware as the Sensation, but don't knock their devs. For being so few, they've accomplished quite a bit.
If you want a ROM without sense, try Virtuous Inquisition. That one's as stable as almost anything here, with some nice OC/UV features that enhance battery life. If you want Sense, Virtuous PrimaDonna or Pyr'O'Ice Sensed (I believe they're now the same thing) work just fine for DD's. There are a few bugs, but that's to be expected with almost every ROM that does not have official support. As for GB ROMS, anything on there works pretty well, but people seem to be very fond of Bulletproof.
It is awesome to have all these ROMs to choose from now, but there are still some very good good (albeit few in number) ones for the Doubleshot.
Hurrah for vorbeth

XDA Sensation Developers Rock!!
I have to say that as a pretty new user here, the level of support from both Developers and also senior members is really fantastic. It really blows away other forums I have been part of previously.
I would also agree with the above. Coming from a Blackberry to my Sensation and Android was a big change for me. All of my answers were to be found for getting the device rooted and running a custom rom in no time.
