Just about as simple as it sounds. The evo theme is dark, but the mms app is obnoxiously black on white. It's kinda blinding in dark rooms. Yeah handcent can do that but that's way over kill for a texting app for my use. I'm using the fresh rom, btw. Thanks.

Download ChompSms and you can customize all the colors and even make it themed like Iphones sms system. It's a nifty and FREE little app. I donated to remove adds and its been well worth it. Give it a shot. Worst case scenario, you uninstall it.
I too am wanting to have this white on black or white on gray feature WITHOUT going the third party route of using chompsms or handcent. I like the simple features if the stock sense app. waking up early and reading missed texts is blinding lol.
I know you said you don't want another app but this is the messaging app from AOSP and it replaces the default HTC messaging app. Just flash it in recovery.

I would also like to see this I really hate how bright it is. The only problem with aosp messaging is you can't use the HTC messaging widget
AOSP would be the easiest, making the sense app black you would either need to pretty much completely rewrite the xml or you would need to theme all the Sense apps through com.htc.resources. All the HTC apps get there style from com.htc.resources, I was going to make them black in my blue theme but the HTC stuff is way to integrated into android.

Yep. Both of my messaging widgets work. But I'm on a different ROM (Myn's Warm 2.2), so maybe that could have something to do with it?
potentially but i think i may try it

Hi I'm new to the incredible, just retired the Eris. I was wondering if anyone here can port the espresso rosie to the Dinc. Sorry if its been posted already. I did do a search and came up with nothing. Thanks in advance if anybody jumps on this.

The gallery should work if you rotate your phone before going into the gallery. You can still choose wallpapers and contact pics fine using that work around.
Yep turning the phone worked. Thanks again those who helped here.
The gallery crashing thing is why I abandoned it for Froyo shortly after porting it.
I deplore crashes, so I just can't tolerate it. Oh and I don't know how to fix it.
It might be easier to do now that we have s-off, but metamorph expert, I am not.

Yeah, I'd love to see this working properly. At least there's a workaround but I hate having to use a workaround just so it won't forceclose.
I wanted to bump this thread to see if there have been any updates for the Espresso Bar for Froyo that will keep it from crashing the gallery.

My setup
My setup. I only take credit for the dock background, battery icon, and notification dropdown list.
Nissan, is that a theme with the text instead of icons? Reminds me of Rainmeter.
I use LPP, but the icons are totally stock. I only got it for the twitter widget. That's the only thing I missed about Sense, but I don't have to deal with it anymore. I have a recurring issue that comes up every few days, where it force closes, but I'm not really sure what's causing it, and haven't been able to figure it out.

Well the ROM itself is CM6 Stable, I just tweaked it a bit by theming the Notification bar and dropdown list. The icons in the dock, however, were not my work. I found them while I was browsing the net for custom Launcherpro dock icons a few months ago. I cant really remember where I got them from though...
The desktop icons that you see (market, xda, etc...) are from Signals23's Neue theme which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799623 then I just used Desktop Visualizer (which can be found in the market) to add the icons to the desktop and used the widget resize function built into Launcherpro Plus to change the size of them. However, all of the icons in my app drawer are completely stock.
As for you force closure problem, I find that a bit odd. I don't use any Launcherpro widgets so I have no idea why it would be doing that. might be something you should ask in the development section. the guys in there are geniuses, unlike myself

Im going to be switching to T-Mobile and the Sensation looks like the top phone at the moment. Unfortunately, sense slows this phone BIG TIME. Can i just bypass that with another launcher?
Yes, just install one from the market, push home and it will give you an option. that's just the launcher tho, not the whole system sense integration. But this phone was made for sense (interface not launcher, I personally use go launcher), I haven't noticed any lag.

Yes and no. The problem most people have isn't with the interface but with how much resources it takes up. If you add another launcher you don't reduce the usage of sense. If you just want a different interface then yes you can drop another one on top. From my experience ADW is slow as dirt on this device so i wouldn't recommend that one but i've heard people have had success with launcher pro
For me launcher pro and adw are slow. The but go Launcher runs great. Very smooth.

Yeah even though they are simply overlays and would only take up more resources, I tried both ADW and Launcher Pro (my usual) on my Sensation... both were ridiculously slow to the point of "Well screw this I'm sticking with Sense till they root this thing!"

Well hang on there a sec, I didn't say the phone itself was laggy... in fact quite the opposite this thing flies. It was only ADW/Launcher Pro that lagged it out. I have had NO complaints with it's snappiness at all, and I'm harsh on judging my phones! This one has given me no reason to ***** about the speed... I just prefer stock Android over Sense, which even though it has some great features, still bugs me aesthetically.
I too was worried after I played with an in-store unit and noticed it laggy, but I think that is a simple result of everyone and their mother going in there and messing with it. All I can say is don't take the in-store performance too seriously... mine has acted nothing like the store unit did.

Cool thanks for that. I am trying to get over sense being just too much(I have an X now) as I like more clean and mean. Yeah, pure google does lack a lot. If the galaxay II doesn't hit sensation it is.
I have been VERY happy with mine and I don't regret not waiting for the Hercules at all.
Sense is an entire UI integration made by HTC. It is not just a simple home app that you can replace (although you can replace the Sense launcher with something better like ADW). Unless you install an AOSP ROM like CyanogenMod when the phone is rooted you will NEVER be rid of Sense no matter how many bloatware apps you remove or HTC components you freeze. Period. End of story.
Is there anything about that you didn't understand?

I really have to laugh at those who say ADW is slow on the Sensation. Maybe you all don't know how to optimize the settings gs but you couldn't be more wrong. I have been running ADW for the past month and everything in the UI is instant and much faster than Sense. I will make a video tomorrow night so there is no issue of he said, she said. Ill just be right and you'll be wrong.

I love to see a post with a mature, dignified, helpful approach... So, what approach were YOU going for?
Listen bud... try to imagine a world where posting unnecessary (ie completely unhelpful and rude) garbage like this does NOT in fact impress anyone. I know man... I sure wish it did too. I'm super glad that ADW runs buttery smooth for you, and had you responded with a helpful "Hey ADW runs great for me, here's how I have it configured..." I would have listened and actually could have respected you. Instead, you post trash like "I laugh at those, I'm right you're wrong" etc... As such I couldn't care less what you have to say.
Mm'kay? Thanks buddy...

So.............. I can't even remember how many people have asked me to look into getting the ticker "call" screen to work when you are using different launchers... Well, I (edit: FINALLY) took a look an hour ago, and I figured it out Right now I have the modifications incorporated into this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883, which i personally LOVE! But yeah, i Didz it
I could probably get it to work with other launchers too, but for now, i'm done... hahaha... I highly suggest checking out that launcher though... It supports samsung widgets (because it is based off of Touchwiz 4.0 launcher ) and works pretty nicely I have a weird obsession with the weather clock we have, so this launcher satisfies that, and more
Alright guys, download time
Install this to the system/app folder (after renaming it to just TW4Launcher )
Download (APK): http://www.mediafire.com/?8jzcxc1p3og69zl
Ok, add this to my WTF list! Lol If I'm running this launcher still get the call options on the large screen. Then, if I switch back to Go launcher, the calls show up in the ticker(Awesome Btw!) . I've gone back and forth multiple times and rebooted... Always the same.
Sent from my GB'ed I400 Continuum
Lol, that's normal! Even with the stock touchwiz launcher the call doesn't show up in the ticker when within the launcher itself... it's when you go to another app that it pops up the reasoning, I assume, is because you are doing important things while in different apps, but when you are home, it's okay to get a more intrusive call method because you aren't doing anything the problem was that the ticker call screen wasn't coming up ever when you didn't load the stock launcher
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
Lolol!! Yes everyone, I am a DA! And I thought my work around was pretty slick: set up a tasker task to run tw4 for 30sec at boot, then I have the ticker call all the time.
Anyway, love this... However it works! Lol

Not asking you to do this, just asking if it's possible... Could this and your "ticker 4 button return to call screen" (ec09) be made into a stand alone app: ie, not tied to a launcher? I'm assuming it's gotta go with the launcher, but as I proved above, don't know much about this stuff

Hello Trailblazer!
It was me. I am the guilty party. I was the one clamoring for this feature all along.
I had an invisible shortcut set to launch TW Launcher any time I happened to reboot my phone, and that was my way of ensuring the call screen function would be there.
Alas, the lure of ICS and JB drew me away from my Continuum to a used Fascinate on eBay, but I still have the Continuum and have made it my kids' phone as a VOIP phone / entertainment device.
Haven't visited this forum in a while...crazy to see what has changed since my last stop. Gingerbread? Your call screening fix? I might have to do some flashing!

Are u using google voice + voip?
How is your kids device set up to call etc?
Sent from my SPH-M580BST using Tapatalk 2
Yes. But that's not the whole story.
I use an app called Groove IP. It integrates into Android so that you can make it the default app for outgoing call requests. But it requires a Google Voice account.
So GV is the texting app and the conduit for phone calls in and out. Had to change a setting in my Google Voice account for incoming calls to come to the phone.
Pretty strange still to get texts from my 6 year old when I'm at work.
That's how I have it set up. Just was wondering ...
Yeah my son loves to text when he gets a chance with my phone since he lost his lol.

roaddog665: Well, to answer your question, I incorporated the "ticker 4 button return to call screen" feature into gingerbread, so that's not a problem anymore and for making the "call screen" stand-alone... It could probably be done, yeah... However, if I was going to do that, then the even when you are on the launch itself the call screen in the ticker will show up... Basically all what the code in the launcher does is tells the ticker when to show the call screen, so when it is active, it won't show, and when it is closed, it will! I guess that's not a bid deal, but I don't really know performance wise how well that would work...

Oh no Holo Launcher worked fine on me. the touchwiz 4.5 had a few bugs.. But not a problem. Ciscogee's theme works fine with me with any launcher with no problems.
Did you guys just regularly install it, or did you put the apk in /system/app ? Just curious... Because it works great for me, ahha
and I tried doing the mods for the Holo Launcher, and porting it worked just fine... It just the fact that I had to resign the apk that was the problem, and that was something I didn't want to deal with I'll do it eventually, ahha
