I hope these are possible.
#1 a simple flip clock w/out weather (like the digital, don't need two weathers )
#2 SIMPLE theme application (icon replacement to do with a wallpaper?)
#3 HTC_IME
Ghods I LOVE THIS THING!
From other's comments, the HTC IME doesn't work well with this resolution. Ends up being all pixelated.
will have to wait for one for the Droid or a Nexus/HTC one I guess.

For #1, Home++ works fine - and has flip clock and flip date included in it, as well as an animated clock....but it does completely change your launcher/home apk.
It's one of the best (and my personal favorite), it doesn't know what to do with live wallpapers at all....

Yeah, I kinda like the existing launcher.. was just hoping for a simple Flip Clock widget... and Home++ is neat, yes, but I'm still hoping for a simple theme program.. here's a folder full of Icons and a wall paper.. make it happen... simple stuff.

His point is HTC and MOTOROLA are competitiors - so don't hold your breath for them devices to share IMEs.</captainObvious>

I'm saying that he may be referring to the IME of the HTC "Droid" Eris, which is really just the hero. However, that's probably the same as the Hero's anyway.
The Eris has a normal 480x320 screen, not the larger Droid/N1-size screens, which is the issue with the HTC_IME - resolution.

For the flip clock, try <tone=ironic>"Flip Clock" </tone>from the Market. It's by the same developer as Home++, but it's a standalone app, and a widget for the default launcher (home screen). And yes, it's animated--you can watch it flip.
For a theming app, get MetaMorph and AndExplorer. You have to download metamorph themes from the Android themes section of XDA (they're not on the Market) and unzip them to the proper folder on your sdcard, which is a bit of a a hassle, but it's amazing. If you want super, super simple, only theme the icons and wallpaper, then you want a home replacement, like Better Home. But I recommend you please, please try MetaMorph. It takes a bit of effort, but it's very simple to use once you've taken the time to unzip the file to the proper folder.
As for HTC_IME, nope. Best you can do use use Cyanogen's one, which is pixellated and doesn't look right in landscape. But until HTC releases a Sense-based device with a high-res screen, that's the best you're gonna get. (I'd love to see them release the HTC Passion with an Espresso interface... mmmmm.....)
EDIT-...someone already said what I said...had this open from earlier and didn't refresh.
Dosen't Metamorph require root tho? (remember, non-rooted here).. but I'll take a look at it.

Yep, I totally forgot you said non-root. Well, without root, you can't theme. Some apps are theme-able, but nothing outside of those apps. If you just want icons and a wallpaper, you need a home replacement that has themes. Better Home, dxTop, aHome, GDE, FreshFace... All have many themes, and I have used them all. I have finally decided which home is the best: the default. But if you really want themes, go for it.
But seriously... you should just root already.

Same here, I did like PandaHome on my G1, but I won't use OpenHome again if you paid me.. Panda was/is doing a great job on supporting all the other home themes (saved on SD card no less).. but then OpenHome started encrypting their themes so no one else could use them.. and was changing the encrypting on a regular basis so they just couldn't just add in a decrypter to the other programs.... "Open" Home my patoot!.
But seriously... you should just root already.

Hello all. Here is a little theme from me called Gator Boots.
There is a lot of history behind this theme. Too much, but basically it was my touch up to Sense. Go easy on me, like most things, this is a work in progress. Hope y'all enjoys it.
Thanks to many people so Ima just say thanks XDA and SDX for the valued support and knowledge.
Special thanks to Toast, cuz that is how I got root and I eat it too. Mmmm.
And special thanks to Flipz cuz I'm using his Rom too.
*P.S. It does not say flipz on the bottom*
*Do a Nandroid backup just incase!*
This morph should be good to use with any rom with Sense UI.
How to use:
-Install Metamorph (market app)
-Extract theme zip (Use metamorph to open the theme to your sdcard)
-Apply all! (Or you can do different parts if you like)
*Note:
-When applying all, Market will force close. this is normal. just press ok.
-After applying framework-res mod, phone will reboot.
-Initially, pic won't show in preview, Stericson knows of this bug. (Special thanks to him for his amazing tools.)
Well that's about it.
Enjoy!
[Burst] Gator Boots

Extra:
If you wish to go back to the stock Sense look after using this morph, you can use Metamorph to flash the following file to return to the stock look.

Get some!
Nice to see you developing for the EVO. I really liked some of your themes and icons for the Moment
Hey thanks for the support!
I got a couple emails on this so I'm going to restate that, yes you can use this with DC or Flipz or any Sense Rom.
Why am I not using an update zip? Because metamorph is easier. And 1 file can be used for multiple Roms. And you can choose to only apply certain parts of the theme if you wish.
Don't be shy. Give it a go.
anyway to make it a zip? :>
also i like the theme except for the clear lockscreen hehe

I love this theme! Genius that you can apply bits and pieces. I applied the font, which is crisp, and the "tweaks," which seems to clean up a lot of the taskbar stuff and gives you a clear notification bar.
Dev - do you plan to add to this theme or tweak it anymore? Well done, sir. This is my fav so far. Thanks.
Hi everyone -- Has anyone found a working rotary lockscreen with the correct transparency settings? I found the "android.policy.jar" file attached and it works, it creates the rotary lockscreen, but it's fully transparent.
I'd like to get it to where it's transparent enough to see my current wallpaper, but not all the widgets and whatnot. It just looks sloppy as it is right now (screenshot attached showing what i mean).
Any help from the better themers among us?
Thanks!!!

Sorry -- I should have done everyone the courtesy of saying what I'm running.
I'm running a Stock Sense 2.1 ROM, de-odexed, with much of the Sense elements removed. Basically a ROM of my own design.
So unfortunately I'm not sure if what I posted will work on CM6 -- but give it a shot!
ADB push it to /system/framework as "android.policy.jar" and attempt to boot.
REMEMBER to backup before any modification! I'm not responsible bla bla bla
I would like to get this lockscreen up and running on 2.2.
I have did some research and seen that it has been done on this 2.2 ROM here.
I have tried pulling the android.policy.jar from that ROM to no success. Can anybody help get this up and going on the Incredible running 2.2??
Here is a picture of it running on 2.2 also.
I got it working on 2.1. I have tried to get it working on 2.2 ever since SkyRaider 1.0 and had no luck. Send me the android.policy.jar from UD and I will take another crack at it. I have never found a froyo Rom where it was working.

Ultimate Droid 8 runs this lockscreen on froyo.

Shouldn't be too hard to use it with other roms as well.
+1 - I'd like to see this on 2.2.
What I want to know is, what is the music player you're using in that screenshot? The only one I've found that shows on the lockscreen is Mixzing...which costs money. I do however think the rotary lockscreen is awesome.
so throw me a bone
now im all new at this but is this rotary lockscreen able to be run on stock incredible or rooted and custom roms running i do like this design so let me knoe

The rotary lock screen is from Android 2.0. In 2.1, it was switched to the slide to unlock screen which is what is also in Froyo. In order to put the rotary lock screen back, it requires modifying the framework which requires root access.

You don't have give up the clock; just the alarms. There's nothing special about them anyhow. The vanilla desk clock gives you the same functionality.

I know, I know. And I'm sure I could port the sounds over. I ran your SR Vanilla ROM for a couple weeks and switched to your Sense version after deciding I just like it better - and one of the reasons (as silly as it sounds) was the clock/alarm look and sound.
Hey y'all, I'm creating this thread to showcase stuff I would like to share with everyone. Most of it is still pretty crappy but I think there are a couple gems hidden.
I will post the themes I have made thus far as well as images I have found and made look good on the phone screen.

Especially Stericson, I am lovin' ninjamorph.
If you want to give me some money great, send it here or somewhere like this.
I'm poor but it doesn't matter, I'm still better of than many others.

I've been searching all day, and I can't get a working copy of the Froyo HTC_IME APK.
Does anyone have it, or have the ability to rip it? I really wish I didn't have to request it here but I've exhausted all my attempts here to find it.
Help would be really appreciated. I'm currently running Damage Control 3.5 which didn't get official Froyo Sense keyboard. The mod does not have arrows, which is necessary for EVO users.
-EDIT: If anyone knows how to rip it from a ROM, that information can help as well, as long as it's not too difficult. I can have a friend attempt to do that.

Awesome! Thanks major to the creator, gIMpSTa. And thanks to jonasl for the mod.
Yea the kitchen is convenient. Only thing is the XDA HTC_IME mod doesn't have multitouch or arrows like the official HTC one which is what he wants.

Thanks. For some reason, however, it says "Application Not Installed". Any reasons as to why this is happening?
Again, I'm running DamageControl 3.5.
I did, while waiting for a reply, find a backup made by Titanium that includes the keyboard as system data. I could not run a restore for it though. It feels like I just will never get that keyboard back unless I flash a new ROM.
So, out of the options below, what's my best move?
1. Troubleshoot the installation error.
2. Troubleshoot Titanium
3. Flash a different ROM
This might seem like too much for a single keyboard, but you don't know how much I miss those arrows...

I wish I had my comp, and I'd just post the apk.
Anyways dude, the froyo keyboard is nice, so I could see why you want it. I've tried swype, and just plain deleted that gimpsta crap after like an hour (its nice for people who can't theme, but just ugly compared to a themes froyo).
To rip the apk, just download a stock Rom, open the zip, and it should be in system/app/. From there, u have to adb push it to the system/app/ folder of your own.phone.
Another alternative would be downloading a stock Rom n deleting literally everything in the zip minus the HTC_IME and flashing it.

Hey! I'm not really sure whats up with that. I am downloading DC right now to see whats inside. I made a new flashable. Maybe it will work. Before you flash it i would remove any extra keyboards you may have installed. Then also look in your /system/app/ folder and see if there are multiple copies of htc_ime.apk. there really should be only one. lastly, i would go to >settings>applications>manage>all>TouchInput>Clear defaults(dunno if you can do this) but maybe clear data. Then reboot recovery and flash this file. Maybe it wasnt working because it needed the clicker.apk as well.
Hope something works for ya. These files are from fresh so maybe that is why they don't work. ???
Has anyone figured out how to get this keyboard to work on cyanogen?
What exactly is the clicker?
I just ripped the APK from my Stock Froyo install for HTC_IME.apk, which should be the right keyboard. I have the clicker installed from that other HTC_IME Mod apk that's been around for a while, but that's not the multitouch version and doesn't have the arrow keys.
I'm going to see if the same hacks the guy who hacked the first one will work on this new APK. But I can't play around with it yet.
Check out APKtool to decompile the APK and look at the source for the other HTC_IME mod to kind of see what he did.
I too would like to use it in my CM install.
the clicker is what allows you to calibrate/recalibrate the touch input

OMFG ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Months... months i tell you i have been using android. hero then evo. And i just now realize you can use the volume keys as arrows thanks to you.

I have learned so many things... and yet, just figured this out.... sometimes i wonder about myself and my sanity,.
on topic now, i think the touch input keyboard requires more than one apk to be installed, or an apk and a library.
