Using custom htc sense themes or skins - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

I've tried to install these skins...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928
However, I've no idea how to actually select them as my skin since there is no "skin" setting on the mytouch 4g slide.
Anyone find a way around this?
My device is rooted, s-off, etc., and the skins do install, just no way to actually load them.

Well for one that's for sense 2.0 you're on 3.0. Second this verssion of sence was remodified by t-mobile. So there are going to be compatibility issues.

MySense phones use Tmo theme engine in conjunction with sense. This is the same engine cm7 uses for its themes. Older versions of my sense myTouch4G mytouch3g and down the line were able to just install cm6 and cm7 themes.
On mysense 3.0 installing a cm7 theme will force close the Tmo engine.
Tmo also usually puts their themes (apks) on their mobile web2go site, when I was on our doubleshot port earlier today I was unable to find any themes on their site.

So that means we can't have any more themes for our phones cause there are 0 skins for our devices on their web2go site. So now what?

Develop a solution to your problem.
Maybe an apk that is your theme, or code it right into your own ROM...or any number of other solutions that are possible and just require some research, trial and error.

I do not see that option at all.
I'm assuming we'll need stock rom to use it??

I have it on my family plan, I don't use it though it was primarily for my mother. It doesn't come up on mine. Get calls quite a bit from individuals I either don't know or aren't saved in my phone. So I think the assumption that having rooted it may not work.
Help to get Name ID to Work on MT4G
I have a theory that if we were to install the phone.apk fromthe Doubleshot (MT4G Slide) this option would work. I think the option is enabled to accept this information from within the application
I have updated my account by changing phones to the MT4G Slide purchasing the option and then changing my phone model back to the MT4G.
This Name caller ID does not work yet but I am looking for help in updating the Phone.APK for the VU ROM.
Any ideas where to find the latest Doubleshot "Phone.apk" .... Please do not not say SEARCH. LOL I have and cannot find it or cannot be sure this is the latest Phone.APK for doubleshot.
I downloaded the ROM for the MT4G Slide but am unsure how to extract the Phone.APK from the Update.zip
OK - UPDATE
Finally extracted and pushed Phone.APK form Doubleshot ROM.
No phone signal at all so I reverted to original VU Phone.APK
Any thought on how to get Doubleshot Phone.APK into MT4G?
Thank you in advance for your help.

[Q] Mytouch Slide Expresso UI Port?

I know this might get moved, but I just want some devs to see it, and if they were intrested in porting the UI over, that would be great.
If anything just tell me what I need and Ill do it myself, I just need some help learning.
Hopefully some others would like to see this on the Sensation, just to have more of a varity, aside the normal Sense UI and the upcoming AOSP ports.
Q&A Section buddy,q&a..
Are there any ROMS for 4g that run 2.3.4? I'll give it a go if there is..
EDIT: Ill download the rom for the mytouch 4g and try to port but i reckon it'll have to be at a lower DPI and will probably take a fair time to get all working as i have not attempted to port a ROM for this...Have for the Magic and hero but it was a while ago..
The espresso is the 3G slide, and it only has an HVGA resolution. It's UI is just an older version of Sense- in fact it only recently got the upgrade to 2.2.

Espresso was the internal code name for the MT3G Slide. It is also the name used to refer to tmo's customized sense ui.

You would have to edit alot of images and do a lot of image optimization.
Then you would also have to edit the htc.resources.apk a lot, its a doooseyy

[Q] themes on non rooted evo shift?

is this possible? and if so how? my girlfriend has a stock evo shift and wants a pink theme without having to root, any help will be greatly appreciated
You can download an alternative launcher like adw or launcher pro. I believe there's themes for those in the market.

should of been a lil more specific lol, any way to get a non rooted sense theme
You'll need root in order to fully theme Sense but if her phone is running Gingerbread you can use skins. Check the general theme section and do some googling there's a lot of nice Sense skins.

i forgot about the skins, thanks a lot

Here's a link to a bunch of skins . I've tried them on the Shift, work great.

Does anyone know what battery widget those skins are using? The percentage on the top left of the screen
Check the Market, can't remember exact names. But I know there's a few.

[Q] Porting HTC sense onto SGS4G

I just got my Samsung Galaxy S 4G today, and I hate the GUI. I like HTC sense 3.0/3.5 better because I am more used to it.
Has anyone successfully ported HTC sense to this phone? Is there a downloadable ROM I can use?

I've never seen any ROMs with sense ports. Your best bet short of learning to dev and doing it yourself would be try some launcher replacement apps such as ADW or Go launcher and find a decent sense-like theme.
Would that change the app icons? Samsung complete messed up the app icons and I can't find the hotspot app at all :\

Most themes will change the icons, yeah. You'll have to spend a little time experimenting to find what is best for you.
Also, there is no hotspot app. If your plan allows hotspot use you can activate it by going to Settings>Wireless And Network>Tethering and Hotspot
itll be called mobile AP

[Q] FULL sense 3.0

Is there a way that the mt4gs can get any of the sense 3.0 lockscreens without root or roms. And is there any way that the device can get different themes i do know that its technically impossible to get it from the market or from the htchub/htcsense website. Ive also email htc about the ics update and sense 3.6 for the device. Ive done it twice and i will upload both replies.
Here's one of the messages they sent to me..........

Try Go locker, and Go launcher. Go locker has all kinds of lockscreens, and Go Launcher has all kinds of themes.
We are not getting ICS officially ever. I contacted my "connection" at htc and he said the HTC Doubleshot will not get updated due to "Tmobiles Add on Skin" meaning expresso. We are the red headed step children. Stop asking htc when we are getting an update cause we are not. We will be lucky to see 2.3.5 officially.

Team Freedom never got the rom working.
You need to have ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) Setup.
Then goto the "Unlocker.Com". They have guides for our phone, alongside a video to help.
There's no Sense 3.0 Roms that are worth flashing on XDA. Over on Rootzwiki there's a Sense 3.0 Rom called "Rubix Sensation".
We have an ICS 3.6 Rom. Great since we have WVGA 3.6 parts now.

Someone's cousin/friend/uncle etc. has been telling someone crap for decades. 99% of the time it is bullsh*t. People claimed the original MyTouch would never be updated, yet HTC updated the whole lineup, even the old, ancient original one, up to Froyo.
I'm not counting out an official ICS update for the DoubleShot just yet. It might be late, but I think we will get one.
