i know this may seem like a step in the wrong direction BUT i prefer the hero style application drawer opposed to the nexus one launcher. does anybody know how to get the hero app drawer onto the nexus one? ive tried themes from GDE and pandahome but they leave much to be desired. i guess i just got used to the app drawer on my rooted G1 and mytouch and i want it on my nexus now too! my N1 is rooted and running Cyanogen's latest rom. im not familiar with adb but i know how to install files through a file manager and im learning to use metamorph as well.

If you are learning metamorph, the closest you can get is to make it look like the hero launcher. Resize the images from the launcher/res/drawable, and put them in your launcher2/res/drawable-hdpi.

But the thing is if you put the hero images in the L2 then it will look odd since the left and right buttons function differently.
i should have been more clear lol...i downloaded metamorph the other day and i have been toying with applying themes and such. i dont in fact know how to create the files necessary for creating the metamorph.
to be quite honest, id be satisfied with "pandahome-hero" except for the fact that it wont work with better cut or live wallpapers. the launcher buttons work perfectly on that theme but better cut/live wallpapers are a deal breaker for me.

The phone icon in Panda Home Hero is off a little and I can't stand it xD.
i hadnt noticed that....until now! hahaha
Open home (on the market) can use a Hero skin. I would much prefer a metamorph though... I want the same thing...
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?

::NOTE ON ALL LOCKSCREEN INCLUDED VERSIONS::
The lockscreen-included versions of the MikG roms 2.57 and beyond have had several apk's left intact to maintain the ability to change the lockscreen shortcuts and style. After you have customized the Lockscreen to your liking you may use a root explorer type app and remove those apk's. Or you can use titanium backup and freeze them so that in the future if you wish to change the lockscreen again you can un-freeze them. Either way you choose to do it, here are the two apk's.

:: DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THESE ROMS ARE:::
These are all senseless roms, Will have versions with and without the Lockscreens eventually. They maintain all the sense programs except for rosie and it's widgets and customization utilities. In terms of launchers, rosie is very large. Just for ease of explaination purposes, here is a comparison *of course ram usage is more important than this, but you will get the point and I can't quote amounts of free ram because of different AMM settings and not having an evo myself anyways*
Synergy RLS1 Original download Size::: 297MB
Synergy RLS1 Senseless ::: 254MB
Synergy RLS1 Senseless NO HTC Lockscreen::: 208MB
So you get to drop 43MB by getting rid of rosie and it's widgets and another 46MB by getting rid of the Lockscreen and all the leftover stuff that can then be removed by having the lockscreen and rosie gone. And remember these include GoLauncher already LOL. You get the point.
It turns out making everything perform smoother and faster, and you get to use whatever launcher you prefer without rosie and garbage running in the background.
HTC versions of SMS, Email, Contacts, Dialer, etc are left there because they really work well together.
:: BUGS ::
None for any of the current roms, please let me know what you find.
::CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!::
All credit goes to the original creators, Aamikam, etc. You can click my ads on the download page for my work, but if you really want to donate to someone, send some cash their way.

Great idea I was gonna do this myself but haven't had time...senseless Rom seem to save battery life on gingerbread sense roms. By the way is there a way u can just include the 3.0 message apk also .
Thanks

If you are wanting a Senseless Rom why not just use an Asop or CM Rom? You can still add Go launcher or LPP or ADW launchers and Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets. As of now with ASOP with gingerbread 2.3.4 you don't have all the camera or gps issues you have with Sense 3.0. And most sense ports now are using a mix of the older sense's (1.0-2.0 and 2.1).

I also run a "rosieless" sense rom. I don't use the Rosie launcher or the widgets. I DO enjoy all of the Sense applications a lot better than aosp apps. Sense also has a much tighter integration with its different apps, Facebook, etc. The dialer looks up names as you dial, aosp does not do that. The messaging and mail apps are superior than aosp imho. All of the notifications on the lock screen I enjoy more. I can go on and on. Just because you don't use the Rosie launcher doesn't mean its aosp, far from it.

Yes this I know. I have been around long enough with these devices to know that not running the rosie launcher does not make it ASOP. I have run just about every os that is out there. Including using my old TP2 in dual boot mode when they first started doing that.
I have run my Evo with no sense last year, so this is no new concept to most of us. Calkulin made an app last year to remove the sense apps in one shot if you did not want to use all the bloat.

CM mods are great. I prefer it as my choice for AOSP roms, but I would still prefer a senseless rom. The only things I think CM mods have as an edge to sensless roms are the option to unlock your phone without pressing the "ok" button, and better battery life.
Looking forward to this rom. If you manage to keep it sensless but keep the 3.0 lockscreen, that would be pretty impressive!
ASOP roms have gps issues, I did not find a permanent solution for it in any forum.
If you want a 100% working perfect rom you can try Ginger-AleV2 or MikG 0.51, both are Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 with latest 2.3.4 gtalk video. I flashed Ginger-AleV2, then got GoLauncherEx from Market (free).

Camera works better on this rom than on AOSP roms, plus you get 720p recording back. And it runs smooth enough to actually use 720p recording.
There is a noticeable screen smoothness to htc stock kernels that I can't get with any aosp rom. If you use them side by side, even with evodeck's or cyanogen's latest you can see that the HTC builds just look smoother.
and you can really notice this in games. I play a lot of games, not the really high end hard for our phones to play type of games (well a few of them) but even in ****in Chuzzle you notice a huge difference LOL.
Normally with All the Sense **** eating up all the resources the games on HTC builds don't run very well, but when you slim down to an easier to run launcher and everything they run so damn purdy.
GPS is perfect
##codes work
tight program integration like mentioned with stock dialer, facebook, twitter, etc.
Rosieless sense-based I think is the perfect way to go. You get all the performance of AOSP without any of the downsides. Working on fixing everything and getting this up, I fell asleep last night.
The HTC Facebook I accidentally took out and the MMS are going to be back in this one
HTC Facebook rocks. No ****ty facebook program, just contact sync WOOT. haha. I can't stand the facebook program. Full desktop version of the website in Dolphin Browser 5.0b2 HD is the way to go.
So with the next"release" or whatever, will you have the text messaging apk back?
Excited to try this out!

Skydeaner..quick question...if I want to give this a go and I am using Vaelek's latest (been for Month's now) with a2sd already set up...how would I go about flashing this ROM..I used to flash like crazy till Val's ROM and now I do not know what to do (as far as wiping the phone--do I just wipe data, cache and dalvik, or do I have to also wipe ext's) since I am using a2sd..
p.s. I am using AmonRa 2.3...thanks
Yeah, im pretty sure wipe sd-ext is required,but don't take my word for it.
@skydeaner, yeah thanks for the hosting. Thanks for this senseless rom. Probably gonna check it out, just first gonna find screens of what go launcher is like. I usually use adw and LP. Havebt seen go.
At selders59, senseless is a million miles from aosp and cannot be compared.

Curious to try this but would like to when it's been updated with the above. Looks promising, thanks for doing this! XDA rocks......
Cool - I like this, feels like a hybrid. For those who have tried AOSP roms, this looks like AOSP with better features from sense, like the weather widget, notification icons, contacts & phone dialer app, and of course the sense 3.0 lockscreen. I think the contacts and dialer apps in AOSP needs a lot of improvement, just my opinion. Thanks Skydeaner.
so i just checked theme chooser in bulletproof 1.1 and noticed all of my cm7 themes i restored from mybackup root were there as well,
so i applied one as a test, and it worked!! it skinned the statusbar and the icons!!
screenshots coming soon!

I can't thank you - because I ran out for the day, but i'm going to post a link to this in my thread.
You just probably solved the issue of adding additional themes to my ROM that I was unsure of how to do - if you still have all the stock themes from T-Mo/HTC as well.
Do you?
If so - you are the man!
I still do, when I set the new theme the icons you changed take a reboot to take effect, and of course htc bits don't get skinned but its a start!
when you set a theme when you go back to theme chooser it forcecloses a few times. but i was able to set a few different themes =]

Fantastic - I linked to this post from my ROM thread.
Looks like you cracked the nut open, and now it's time to sort the tasty bits from the shells.
I really appreciate you posting this find - keep us updated on what you come up with.
I'm going to spend a little time cleaning up the GPS thread I got going in dev, then jump back to Bulletproof - you've motivated me to do more work on the graphics/themes now instead of waiting.
Since it seems everyone is pretty stable on 1.1, i'll take this rest period to spend some more time graphically cleaning things up and see what I can do to get more themes added to the ROM.
I am certainly going to make a few more lockrings today - I have made and tested some using different shapes besides the ring and they work out well without problems.
I'll bang out some of those rings, then slide right into working on themes and probably cruise that avenue of development until sunrise.
I actually have to go out in the world and do some stuff tomorrow, but you've got me really excited and motivated.
If you clear cache and dalvik-cache before trying to load themes, you'll suffer less force closes on the theme chooser - let me right now make you a flashable zip i'll attach to this thread to uninstall and re-install the theme chooser and clear caches for you.
If you flash that after the new themes are on the device, it should reset the theme chooser and prevent the force closes - give me ten mins or so and i'll have it up here for you.
Dude - when I get my thanks button back you're getting some!
Edit:
Looks like I have the themes mod still up on my host for when I added the stock themes back in to the ROM when people wanted them before 1.1 - just flash this and it should solve your theme chooser problems.
Make a nandroid first - but let me know how this works for you.

I flashed the zip. When i open theme chooser all the previews are blank. I figure this is because since they were not built to preview the themes. After applying a regular mytouch theme all the previews are there. It seems like the gesture of sliding through the previews makes them forceclose oddly enough. Sliding slowly produces no forcecloses. And when using a system theme, fast slides work fine. Im guessing there are effects missing in the cm7 themes present in htc themes

Okay - good to know and thanks for the information.
We're kinda wandering through uncharted territory as far as my knowledge base goes - while some more veteran devs may be able to handle this off the top of their head to me it's all new.
All the little tidbits of info you are providing is helping a ton - I don't have a copy of CM7 for this device, so to download it now would knock me offline.
I am, however, running CM7 on my Nook Color, which is sitting right here, so now that i've got the GPS thread handled i'm gonna see about pulling some stuff from it and getting a start on this.
I am flashing a fresh copy of 1.1 to my dev phone as I type this.
I will not be including any CM7 themes in my Bulletproof release without direct permission from them. I've asked and received permission to use some of their work in the past - which never came about because it was when I was going to take over CK23's ROM. That obviously didn't go anywhere so neither did the need to use some of their work then.
They are great people and the only request they made was to give them credit for the works of theirs I used. That being something that's important to me - as seen in my ROM thread - I don't see it being a problem to use their themes...
... but not without asking, and if they decide they do not want me to use their themes in my ROM it's not gonna happen... and no hard feelings if they say no - for all they've done for the dev community the least the rest of us can do is respect their wishes.
For the time being, i'll be using their themes to test some stuff out and see how it all works - but again, any public release is dependent upon their permission. With the attention that whole team is putting to ICS I don't expect to get any kind of answer any time soon.
I think It would be a good idea to use the themes to knock the kinks out of using cm7 themes, and build that modified version of theme chooser into bulletproof. I that way we could use the themes with no issues and just go find and download them on our own.

I like this idea too. Figuring out what's missing from either the two theme-chooser/manager.apk files or the themes themselves so people can find their own themes is definitely important.
My goal for Bulletproof was to distribute it with about 20 themes to start on a fresh install - we gotta do something with all that free internal memory available now.
You've definitely paved the way for that dream to become a reality with this discovery and the supporting information you've been supplying since - I can't thank you enough for this.
I love the open source philosophy, curious people, and the home XDA has made for us to share awesome stuff like this - I just can't contain my level of excitement right now and am bouncing off the walls with enthusiasm.
It really is amazing, I'm just glad to have a mysense rom with awesome themes like honeycomb and gingerblur.
I think the themes themselves are missing the animations compatible with htcs theme engine.
The normal one doesn't bounce around with card like themes. I think that's the real problem, including which makes sense why it doesn't handle swipes well. I it doesn't know how to replicate the bouncing cards.

For the most part, ICS/JB is a user interface change. Pleasant looking menus with a cool blue color. There are quite a few options out there to give your G2X the look/feel of ICS/JB but I had my eye on efficiency.
The Ice10 Theme and Holo apps are easy on the battery and use little additional CPU. Of course, if you increase cache sizes and use fancy transitions YMMV. But I'm quite happy with my ICS/JB themed phone.
1. Start with the latest CM7 Nightly. I don't know if this works with other ROMs, but it should. GB7.2 is recommended.
2. DO A NANDROID BACKUP
3. Install the ICE10 Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003484
. . This gives you some of the ICS/JB look/feel.
. . Put the Ice10.apk on your SD Card, click to install. Then start the Theme Chooser app, select Ice10 and click Apply.
. . If you get a theme error that you are missing assets for your screen size, just click Apply Anyway. Reboot phone.
4. Install Holo Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher
. .Holo Launcher on XDA
. .Holo Launcher is a brilliant app that gives you the ICS app drawer, screens, and menus. The screenshots don't
. .do it justice, it looks even better than that!
5. Install Holo Locker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
. .Holo Locker on XDA
. .This gives you the ICS lock screen!
For the Ice10 Theme, the G2X resolution is already 240DPI so no changes are needed.
I paid for Holo Launcher Plus because the full ICS/JB experience is well worth the $1.99. It includes additional transitions and improvements. Holo Launcher is insanely customizable! The dock is scrollable and can have up to 10 icons. The Desktop and Drawer each have settings for the "scrolling cache", which is none, Low quality, Normal quality, and High quality. All this really means is the higher the quality, the more RAM it uses to make the transitions faster and smoother You can also change the desktop and app drawer grid size so you can fit a hell of a lot more apps on your screen.
For both Holo apps, I recommend going into the Settings and disabling Auto check for Updates and Auto Report. I don't like my apps checking for updates in the background, uses battery and CPU.
The Ice10 theme XDA thread contains wonderful info on final mods you can make to truly have the complete and total ICS/JB look/feel. Keep in mind that isn't a G2X thread so some of the mods, like the final Menu mods, are phone and ROM specific, so someone would have to make those additional mods specific for the G2X and specific ROM.
The below screenshots are for my CM7 Nightly ROM. Notice how Holo Launcher gives you a dramatic difference in the Settings. The Menu button is also different and the menu options are completely customizable.
Sorry for the lo-res Starship Enterprise wallpaper but it was a camera photo taken of the TV screen some days ago. Zooming in lost lots of resolution.
This is really a fantastic mod. I have all the user interface benefits of ICS/JB while having a totally operational phone with HW acceleration. I really don't need or don't care about using any other ROM at this point, although I'm waiting for Mazout's next kernel.
Thanks to EricTheLuminant for pointing me in this direction.
Remember to THANK ME if you appreciate this!
Thanks I'll probably try the theme later tonight.
Two quick questions: what does your notification center look like? And can you pull down the notification center from the lock screen?
That makes it really easy to check my texts if its in my shirt pocket.

Yes, you can pull down the notification bar from the lock screen. I just tested it on my phone, I didn't even know ICS could do that!
With the above mods notification bar looks like a cross between ICS and GB. It can be modded to look exactly like ICS/JB.
I see you are enterprising on the theme and guide I mentioned earlier! This is good, but you are missing some vital elements that can make CM7 even more ICS/JB like.
Using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363239, you'll find many more options. If you are experienced enough or willing to read instructions carefully, you can also use the ACpatcher software to custom mod several apps and the framework to increase the experience. It's very technical, and I don't have the willpower to walk through each and every step.
However, I have made some patches already based on the 2013-03-01 cm7 nightly. I'll see if I can upload them for you guys to give it a whirl. They add ics style notifications, transitions, and phone. See the screenshots attached.

I took a quick look. My focus is on stability and performance, and some of the mod apps mentioned in that thread have huge RAM usage, crash often, and/or have more negative than positive reviews, including the status bar apps.
The Holo Locker lock screen is much better than the GB lock screen. It's easier to use. The only thing I miss is being able to change from ring to vibrate to silent from the lock screen.
Holo Launcher makes the entire experience much more pleasant. It only uses 38MB of RAM.
The Ice10 theme from what I can see uses minimal RAM.
Oh of course. I'm not talking about the RAM using apps, nor do I use any of them...I'm talking about themeing and replacing the framework and phone app to better suit ICS/JB style. That status bar image is completely stock, as is the phone.
These don't affect battery, merely the look.
Download the patches I have made from my dropbox and put them on your sd card.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/d8g2bdll7i2jn3a/jv85IfKLeG
These patches were made based on the 2013-03-01 CM7.2 Nightly, and I do not know if they will work for older versions or other roms. They are made specifically to work with the Ice10 theme. It is important that these are flashed in the correct order.
1. In CM recovery, make a nandroid backup (although you can also flash the undo.zip files in case of failure. They will restore the original unmodified apps, and you should only need to flash the update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-undo.zip)
2. Select mounts and storage
3. Select mount /system
4. First Flash update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip
5. Second Flash update-cwm-JBPhone-pach.zip
6. Last Flash update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip
7. Wipe cache and dalvik
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot (will take a few more minutes than usual to rebuild the cache)
Afterwards, you should notice a few things. Your status bar, notifications, font, phone, etc. will be themed more properly to ICS/JB. Good luck!
thanks
Thank to both of you. Till now i have been using ics theme on ADW launcher. Many key components were not themed to ics. Hope to get it sorted now.
Thanks again.

Install Holo Launcher and you'll think your phone came from heaven.

Eric, you are going to have to tell us EXACTLY what your patches include. I don't install anything blind.
That would help wouldn't it?
Inside update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip:
You'll find theme modifications to the system apps bluetooth.apk, deskclock.apk, downloadprovider.apk, music.apk, phone.apk, systemUI.apk. These will further theme the system apps to the color and style of ICS/JB.
framework-res.apk is also modified to add ICS/JB transition animations, as well as ICS/JB themed notifications and status bar.
If you look at the images I posted earlier, you'll notice that the status bar notifications have that little square on the left, in the manner of ICS.
Inside update-cwm-JBPhone-patch.zip,
you'll find another phone.apk, framework-res.apk. This must be flashed after the first patch, as it will overwrite the the previous ones. This will give your phone app a more ICS/JB style look as well. See screenshots from earlier.
The last patch, update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip, merely adds the ICS roboto font across your device.
The undo-patches simply return the themed apps back to the original CM7 stock ones. Is it imperative that the theme patches are flashed correctly in the instructions mentioned previously if you wish to use them.
Will the patches work with Hellfire rom?
Wow. Very very cool, Eric.
What if I only want the settings mod?

Also, I don't know if these patches work with Hellfire. You could give it a go and let us know!
As you say sire.
Will flash them today and let you know.

Got it! IT WORKS!
However, the headings ("Wireless and Networks", "Interface", etc) aren't the nice cool blue color. How do I get that?
BTW, if anyone is having problems copying settings.apk into system/root using ES file Explorer, after you click "Mount File System (mount /system as writable)", you need to close ES, then restart.
It has to do with the parameters set by the Ice10 theme. This is probably out of our control, unless someone edits the theme file itself to change the codes and such. Way out of my ability, anyways.

It's just a theme change. You shouldn't lose anything. Why, is there some tweak needed to play that game?
