Firstly for those thinking, "just get DarchDroid! It's already AOSP," I would first like to explore this option. I like Sense UI, just hate the lag associated with certain Sense apps and would at least like to try the AOSP versions before completely switching to a new ROM.
I did some searching, but couldn't find any sure apk's that will work on a CDMA Hero. The closest I found was some working for the EVO 4G (here), but I don't want to risk it not working on the Hero.
Is it possible for someone to pull some apk's from DarchDroid ROM and have them work on Sense-based ROMs?
Suppose there are working apk's, will they replace or coexist with the HTC apps?
Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this was already done.
Edit: found some apk's!
Edit 2: apparently I suck at searching; there was another thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667715#7 but at least my thread has the DeskClock.apk
I feel your pain, or at least I did. I liked sense but hated all the lag such as the lag when scrolling threw contacts and SMS. All those little small areas where it would lag drove me crazy. I tried installing the apks from darchdroid but it didn't work so I searched it up. Got the same results as you. I had no choice but to go with darchdroid but I am more than satisfied now. Throw launcherpro on it and you wont regret it. AOSP is like a simplified less flashy version and I love it. I hope some one has a real answer for you though because I'm curious myself. Good luck.
Oh. If you do end up trying darchdroid, try out gomorrah's blackmod theme for it. It's sick.
Well, I managed to find the AOSP messaging app when I wasn't even looking for it! Go figure. It was in a thread talking about keyboard lag. Some claim that for texting, using AOSP messaging app has much less keyboard lag than the HTC messaging app. For those curious, it's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6309233&postcount=6
Oh and it looks like it replaces the HTC messaging app; they cannot coexist.
Edit: It also occurred to me that flipz included the AOSP alarm as part of his AOSP lock screen fix!
Much less lag. The messaging app is the only one that worked when I tried replacing them though. The phone and contacts apps were giving problems. I didn't know what to do so I just went with darchdroid. If you like sense, maybe there is a way to add it to an AOSP ROM. Maybe you can just try installing the HTC Sense launcher apk on darch's ROM.
NEW Version 2!!!
{Please Vote to Front Page if you like this so others can enjoy, Somtimes my themes are a little tough to find}
Updated:
1. Added AOSP icons... camera, browser, ect.
2. Added my custom version of 4G Toggle for people that don't use Sense.(I made it to look like the Sense UI version of 4G toggle widget.)
3. Added more AOSP notification icons (should be complete now.)
4. New Updated Lockscreen!
5. New Updated Rosie Bar.(made apps, and add button invisible via request)
6. Changed analog clock widget to look like newest Froyo version.
7. Added Stock Nexus One boot animation!
[/B]This is a new theme I made for people that love Sense UI but think the Vanilla Android looks better. The screen shots are all of Sense UI. This is Made to work with Fresh Rom but will likely work with a few others. Please be sure and Nandroid before flashing this. If you don't like the HTC Lock Screen you can allways uninstall it with Titanium Backup and reboot your phone, and then you will have your Vanilla Android Lockscreen (You can also uninstall HTC Sense this way, be carefull what ever you do!). I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do, I worked really hard on this.

Excellent !
Sweet, I like AOSP UI better. Good work OP!
Looks good, thanks for the contribution.
hey i was wondering if there is a way to do this without the lockscreen mod that you specifically have. meaning is there a way to have the blackbar mod?
hahahaha i didnt even realize you were the author of the WhiteSenseUi-aosp theme, i asked the same question on that thread and i did get some pretty useful suggestions, but was unsuccessful of executing them. is there any possible way that you can possible fix the lock-screen for me? i would be ever so grateful.
WoW This Is Awesome!! I Can Use Sense Widgets And Still Have A Stock Android Look And Feel To My Phone!! Thanks For Sharing.. AnyWay That You Can AlSo Post The Beach WallPaper That You're Using Please?! Thanks Again..
This Is Nice!! EveryOne That Has Seen My Phone With This Loves It!! Keep Up The Good Work..
Do I have to be rooted to install this?? I only really want the bottom where the phone icon is, but I can't figure out how to do that can somebody help?
I found this theme searching and I love it! I really enjoy keeping sense stuff like the 7 windows, and the widgets but I actually like the look of vanilla android
One thing I did notice is when you are removing an icon from the desktop the 'remove' icon at the bottom is overlaid the phone icon.
Not too sure if that is fixable, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Other than that good work on this theme! I'm enjoying it on my rooted/stock ROM
Great work, this is making me consider going back to sense. Any future plans to include ASOP Icons, phone dialer skin, etc.?

Yes you have to be rooted and nand unlocked. Pretty much any modifications you see on this forum must have that functionality
Tried the red theme with calk 1.1 and it works (i like it a lot)- except the new gmail (2.2.1 i think) FC's over and over.. I'm going to load my nandroid backup which has calk 1.1 and the older version of gmail, then will reinstall this theme to see if it is an incompatability with calk 1.1 or if it truly is the new gmail

I had the FC with gmail on my stock deox rooted ROM, I went to the application settings, cleared the cache and data. After that no more FCs (even after reboot!)

This is the first theme I ever installed. It worked great on the newest Fresh and it looks pretty sweet! I also had the Gmail force close thing going on but wiping the cache and data for it in the application manager cleared that up!
does this theme the app drawer for the 3d effect
Thanks for doing this! I was looking around for something like this because I was having a difficult time getting it to work on my own.
Any confirmation that this runs on Fresh 3.1.0.2?

And now, v.2.1 for SkyRaider!
First of all thanks to the Unrevoked Team for everything they have contributed to the Incredible, as well as many other Android Decices, development community. Thanks to Koush and the CyanogenMod team for their awesome work and roms. Thanks to CVPCS for their Crystal Clear roms and contributions. Thanks to ihtfp69 for his SkyRaider rom. Thanks to invisiblek for the Droid 2 keyboard port (theme includes themed Droid 2 Multi-Touch Keyboard Port) and any other Developers I have forgotten to or should have mentioned.
Warning: Flash at your own risk... If this bricks or damages your phone in any way, I am not responsible.
Installation
Always Nandroid Backup First!!!
Simply flash the corresponding update.zip file from sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery over your current CM6 or Ruby rom. Reboot phone and allow to load up. For CM, go into ADW Settings/Drawer Settings/ and change Drawer Background Color to: #77FFFFFF. Enjoy...
Keep in mind this is a pre version 1 of the theme and still have quite a bit of work to do on the theme. The SkyRaider version is only a quick port and not quite up to par with the other versions. Any comments would be appreciated as well as suggestions as long as they are constructive. Thank you.

+1 on that!
ALSO O.P.
can u supply a flashable zip with the font used for the 3G icon? that ****s killer!
Once I am satisfied with the theme, I will release v1 for CM, Ruby, SkyRaider, Stock Sense Froyo Release, and possibly others. But while I'm progressing I will only have pre-version 1 for CM and Ruby.
dunno what happened but i tried applying this to the CM rom and was thrown into a boot loop, weird..
oh and id still like that font used in the 3G icon por favor
Sent from my "Ultimate Droid" Incredible using the XDA app

As far as the boot loop, don't know why, it was flashing fine for me... will check the updater script.
UPDATE: v.2
Update! Theme versions for CM and Ruby. Links are up!
THANK YOU!
for the reply
for the font
and for the update!
quick question..is the font in a flashable zip?
Theme is coming along great, just curious if you have themed the market and/or dialer or if that will be in the future?

No i just zipped the TTF file and uploaded it. Just unzip and place in your sdk/tools folder and use command: adb push PRISTINA.TTF /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

I've themed the Dialer, I will post a screen shot. As far as the market, I've only themed some notifications so far but will be doing so more.
Sounds good and looking forward to what you have in store. As you progress will updates be able to just replace the existing theme and will this be something added to ROM manager or just have to download and update in recovery? I am def thinking about switching to possibly Ruby to use this from skyraider only issue is Ruby seems to do a lot of rebooting at least according to the thread even though I know it's not across the board.

As for the pre version 1 updates, they will only be on this forum. Once I'm ready to release v1 across the board, I will get with Koush and see if he wants to add them to Rom Manager. The updates I will post, you will be able to just apply over current/previous version themes using recovery.
As far as using Ruby, try using an alternate kernel. I know I've had issues with waking up the phone with stock kernel, but had better luck using Adrynalyne's alternate CM/Ruby kernel as well as KingxKernel's AOSP OC kernel. So give that a try, if not then just try to stick it out until I release v1 for SkyRaider. Just make sure to Nandroid and if you have issues, just flash back to your SkyRaider Nandroid. Let me know if you have any other questions. By the way, are you running SkyRaider Sense or Vanilla?

I might just stick it out since I have no issues with Skyraider and having the 3G hotspot and being able to have portions of sense are nice. I am using Vanilla with the theme from TouchPro Gray sky v0.3 as it has a lot of things themed. If you need/want a tester for when the time comes for skyraider def let me know and I appreciate you getting back and answering my ?'s.
please make it for sense ?????
After figuring out which rom-kernal combo works best for me, I finally find a theme that I really like. I have gone from colorful but busy looking themes to simple black and white. Thank you and congrats for such fine work. BTW, funny how a white notification bar can look less busy/crowded looking even though you have everything going on using full icons.
I am using Ruby 1.1.1 and King's ASOP Kernal. I am coming from Ruby 1.1.1, King's ASOP. I have two issues that are new since flashing this theme. (Forgive me if this is in the wrong thread) I did a complete wipe of EVERYTHING and clean installed Ruby and Gapps prior to flashing....in the right order:
1) Ruby users, as of now, cannot have the transparent drawer. Is that correct?
2) The keyboard force closes. There seems to be two different keyboards. The FC's happens when the keyboard has the voice input button-all apps that use that keyboard. When using Gmail, the keyboard doesn't have voice input. When long pressing on a text window to display input method(s), two "Android Keyboard" choices appear. This is the first time I have had keyboard issues so pardon me if I am missing something or sound like a noob, etc
Lastly a real noob question. What is that flip clock widget called? I haven't used a Sense rom in so long, I don't know where to start looking for the one you are using in the screen shots.

To answer your first question, I don't know if the Laucher2 apk is compatible with transparent app drawer. I've only themed ADW launcher on CM but haven't themed Launcher2 in Ruby.
As far as the keyboards, I didn't test both keyboards until now. The themed multi-touch keyboard works perfectly with voice input as well. The Android/Google keyboard does force close when typing, but voice input does work properly for me. I will look into it. I might have to make a separate optional update for the themed keyboard that will remove the other keyboard. Thanks for letting me know.
Lastly, the actual HTC clock widget will not work in a non Sense rom. The app I am using in my screen shots is Beautiful Widgets, which you can purchase from Android Market.
@motempo Thx! Ah, Beautiful Widgets...I keep forgetting about BW. Anyway, thanks again. Look forward to using your theme and following this thread. Screen shot of keyboard FC. I have determined the FC is not caused by any letter combo or multi touch(ing). No worries as I just close window and repeat what I was typing, from the first letter of the word, however. Voice input works as you said. Again, the Gmail keyboard works as it should.

I was able to reproduce that exact FC. Try using the multi-touch keyboard. Hold your finger down inside a textbox and select multi-touch keyboard. Haven't had any FC's with that one. If you don't like the multi-touch let me know and I'll whip up a quick update to fix your android keyboard and remove multi-touch.

Updated now with SkyRaider Beta Version, as per your request.
I like multi touch......you might have to hold my hand a little on this one....
I see the multi touch settings in settings>language &keyboard>muliti-touch keyboard so I assume it is installed. When I long press on a text field, I only have "Android Keyboard" as the choices...it shows two different choices, both labeled the same. I have clicked on both but it doesn't change the keyboard. I don't mind re-installing, etc. The only thing I have changed since flashing is that I use Launcher Pro. With Launcher Pro uninstalled and with ADW, I still have the keyboard in question and can't get muli touch to appear
Edit: to be clear, I'd rather use multi touch but an Android Keyboard fix is no problem. Most important is knowing what I did wrong
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the MIUI dialer, as I'm sure most of you do who has used it before, but it was never available outside MIUI...
well now it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329172
This is just the dialer and contacts apps... it still piggybacks off of the CM7 Answer and In-Call screens (meh). But much needed.
Thanks for posting this here, didn't know about it.
I flip through the Android Development forums often. Posted there are apps, games, themes, and other stuff that isn't specific to one phone. This just caught my eye. Aside from the nice overlay, it also allows SmartDial that stock does not. I've tried several alternative dialers and they all "feel weird". This one works just like you would expect it too.
I found a MIUI theme for cm7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189723
I find MIUI to be laggy and cm7 to be better, try this out if you like the look of MIUI!
Meh that theme never worked right on my phone. I couldn't get the transparent status bar to work easily enough to want to do that Every time I flash a nightly. And the black version wouldn't be bad except the nasty orange line under the notification menu.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
I really liked the ICS keyboard. I guess that was a sense one. Wish we could get it on JB.
Loved swype and google voice all in one!
I have swype now, but liked having google voice text and not the swype one....
Try IME Mod, there is a thread at the apps and themes forum. But I think it doesn't have the Swype thing. It's a mod of an older version of the HTC keyboard. Correct me if I'm wrong
hello, i'm new here and i think for the keyboard you can find one that suit you on googleplay
like swift 3
