so a few questions about skinning on the thunderbolt, first on my phone it seems that no matter what skin i apply the counter that appears on the message app and email app seem to not get themed, they stay black with a green ring, is this not right...
edit: i know ive seen other devices that it changes to match the chosen theme..but mine just doesnt..im hoping once a custom rom comes i can load that up and all will be well
On the TB the file name of those notification icons may be different. Leading to be the reason why the theme is not theming those icons also. I am not sure if this is the actual reason, just a theory.
im hoping that when some custom roms come out this little thing will be altered, im looking forward to getting the htc hub and htcsense.com in a future rom..and hopefully htc locations

Trying to figure out if this is a widespread issue or not. Since doing the OTA updates I have found some graphics bugs in the Sense Launcher.
First, I no longer get the Transparent launcher when you select it from the "Skins" customization menu. You can select it but it appears solid like the old traditional launcher we are used to.
Second, when that Skin is selected I was noticing the Text on the End button (In the dialer) was in the left corner of the button rather than centered. Although this went away when I did a factory reset.
Third, slightly more laggy performance in Sense overall, but nothing major. Just not as smooth as before the OTA. Especially when the Full Screen calendar widget is present.
So far these are the 3 issues I have observed that the OTA messed up.
Is anyone else experiencing these?
So nobody is experiencing any of these things?

I never had a transparent Rosie. From what I read from others, no one has.
None of those issues and I also never had a transparent skin available to me. My phone did not come with the OTA pre-installed and I have since done the updates.
No transparency ever available here either. Sure would be nice...
I believe we were supposed to have transparent rosie but it is not in the final unit. People have asked HTC on their FB page but got no response. There were older vidz of the E3D with transparent rosie, so it did exist at one point.
As minor as it is, i was looking forward to the transparent Rosie. That bottom bar could sure use a makeover....
heh.
The advertisement of htc evo 3d has transparent rosie. i bought it particularly because i had assumed 2.3 / htc sense ui had the transparent bar aswell as other features of the phone, but it is not in here... not sure why it was removed.
Crap on a transparent one, I want to be able to customize it myself, with my own dock png's.

it was never there,even before the OTA..I too thought it was but i got the update so fast that i thought it was the reason it was no longer there...Oh well,we got root so we can make it what ever the hell we want over the next few weeks

OK,
I think we all realize us X2 are owners are few.
As such, we have less themes and less ROMs to choose from. Since we dont have 50 people making themes for 26 different ROMS, I figured it best to hone in on what people would want to see.
I am not saying I am going to make one (I just might though) but, one of the three of us.. there are three themers right? Me, Funkencool and MuffStuff? Just might.
So, now is you chance to say what you would like to see in a theme.
Colors, backgrounds, apps themed, whats included, etc..
I'll give you an example.... (although this is not a request by me)
Transparent backgrounds, Neon blue images. Blue matching text colors, maybe change the lock slider on the lockscreen. I use the internet, xda app, music and calendar the most so those would be cool to be themed as well.
Now toss out some ideas so the few of us that do it can make something a lot of people can enjoy!
As a sidenote, dont know about anyone else but, if I make it, it will be for the Eclipse ROM.
PORT OF THAT FIRE THEME THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THAT IS OUT FOR THE DROID 1 PROJECT ELITE ROM. YESPLZ KTHNXBYE

I want it looking like my Xoom again!
Guys, I cant just grab someone elses work. Yo would need the author to port it over for you.
I don't know what else Funk or Muff has done for other phones. Me personally, for the D1 I have made themes in the color of... Chrome, Blue, Red, Orange and Pink.
What the main thing was here was to make a new theme based off the ideas from you guys.
Choose a color, choose icons, choose details, etc... Be as specific as possible. solid color, glow, fade, etc.. it can be as simple or as complicated as the two images I am about to post up.
I also just learned something new trying to make that funky looking image.. im stoked!
Something with just the basic necessities in it, with an orange theme..
Orange would be the easiest since I have it about 90% done...lol

I'm on board and I like you example(as an example) it would be nice if we could just get a good clear view of what you guys want in a theme. Especially apps because I've been wanting to get started on some.. just not sure what exactly.
Personally(and this isn't an example) I most often use ShapeWriter and the stock moto keyboard, dolphin mini, forum apps(xda, rootz), gapps (especially voice and gmail), stock messaging(eclipse's), and Mort player for my music. those are at least the ones I like to look good the most, but really most of mine are themed or themeable.
PS i also would rather just do something original than port an already existing one.

That's my favorite part.. seems like when i theme I spend just as much time learning or trying new things as I do actually working on what I started

I am interesred in themes that match. I am currently running eclipse 4 with blue blur 1.3. This has probably been my lobgest running setup. I use adw ex with i2 theme icons (mostly because there are over 1000 themed and its free). I also use widget locker as well, so lock screen isnt important to me. I use most of the basic apps but almost no widgets anymore cuz they dont match or burn battery faster. I really just want it all to look the same. I love tapatalk app cuz it will use system colors to match. Wish all apps have this ability. Would make changing themes so much faster and easier for you guys. As for colors i like blue, black, grey, and green. Not all together but not all one either. Two tone cars look great right? I think two tone droids are sweet as well. I have all the tools to get the job done just need more practice with them. I have only ever been successful with the droid 1, was so much easier with no bootloader so if i messed it up. Starting over was quick.

rusty.. that.. is a detailed post. thank you!
Theming the X2 is almost exactly like the D1. You just have to get the basics down with the dependencies and such. I just bought this phone 2 weeks ago (I think) so, you can see, its just a quick bit of getting the feel for it down. THe only real thing I dont like is that I have to plug my phone into the wall charger to get into recovery. I liked being able to just do that on the fly with the D1.
It looks to me though, from what you said, you really like the Blue Ice Cream theme but wish there were more widgets. You would also like to see some of that blue two-toned. You mean like a fade I am assuming?
Hey guys,
I was playing around with the phone last week, downloading some icons for launcher pro and such, trying to get rid of the HTC lockscreen which I hate.. for some reason launcher Pro would not launch anymore and doesn't show in the app drawer. When I use home switcher, it activates it, but setting it to defaults results in crashes.
I got annoyed looking to see if cyanogen is already working with the 3d evo, and while I see their site says they do, I can't see the files...? I rooted my HTC Hero in the past, and even though I don't remember the full process, I was very happy at the end. I want to do that the same for this phone.
Ok, so here comes my general questions:
* cyanogen - is there a stable one for the 3D evo, or not yet?
* Launcher Pro - is anyone familiar with this issue, and will rooting the phone help?
* Minimalism - I want to change the looks of icons on my phone (not just the launcher shortcuts, but the actual icon in the drawer). I saw some app for that somewhere but I can't remember what it is.. anyone? Also, if possible, I would like to change the looks of the widgets.. again, read somewhere it's possible, but how complicated / time consuming is it?
* lockscreen - don't want it, I hate that freakin' ring, I just want a lock pattern or code. What can I do about it, and if I root my phone, does it go away?
Roms - besides cyanogen, which I liked a lot on my old phone, are there new Roms (especially ones with a minimal feel to them) that are stable and good? I really don't need anything car related (I live in the city) or sports related. I know this is getting very specific, but assuming there are others like me out there, what do you use? I'm just looking for a direction with these last remarks.
Ok, as always, thanks a lot!

CM7 is still in alpha for the Evo 3D, 4G and 3D don't work, but development is still ongoing...
personally, even though I was a CM7 user when I had the Evo 4G, I gave MIUI a chance on the 3D, and I'm extremely happy, and the ROM is incredibly customizable (themes, lockscreens, fonts and icons are all easily switchable, and you can mix and match elements from different themes from within the ROM).
granted, there's no 4G or 3D on MIUI either, so if you want to use these features, your only option right now is a Sense ROM.
I've done a few searches but don't really see anything so forgive me if I missed anything, but I was wondering if there were any aosp style lockscreen mods for the evo lte? Would it have to be an entire skin or theme or could there just be a mod to the lockscreen itself to remove the sense lock and replace with the aosp lock? Thanks in adavance
not sure... but some sense roms include like viper rom.

Flash OMJs modpack and only select aosp recent apps. Its aroma, so you can pick and choose which mods you want.
Granted you're rooted and everything...

There used to be an htclockscreen.apk in system/spp in older versions of sense, and you could just remove/rename it and get straight android lockreen (because it IS there, under the sense stuff). But I think its more complex now, involving fusion.apk and idlescreen.apk. At least, sense 3.0 used those apks. I only had sense on this device for a brief minute, so not sure on sense 4.0. In any case, just a little additional info for anyone wanting to dig/explore lol
From my Evo LTE, yup.

For anyone else interested this worked. I went into root explorer opened system then app then deleted the HtcLockScreen.apk (after long press and copying then pasting to sdcard2 just incase). This should be obvious but you will lose your app shortcuts. You get the basic AOSP style lockscreen with the clock display and the unlock or open camera in the ring, and camera does open when selected. Nothing else seems to be affected yet but I'm not knowledgeable enough to even know if anything else would be. Its still early and haven't received any calls or texts yet to see if the notification box shows on the lockscreen or not but I would assume it won't since I'd think the sense lockscreen would be needed to complete path for those. Thanks for the info.

Confirmed that the notification boxes do not pop up on lockscreen for texts which I expected.

Hello everyone, new guy here.
I hope I'm in the right place. Yesterday after a couple of days debating I went with the RUU path. I updated my HTC One X (att) to JB thinking it was the best way to avoid any issues. Well I must say I'm happy to see improvements with Sense but my issues lay with Launchers. Previously I used Next Launcher (I had very simple backgrounds and themes, I only preferred it for the freedom it gave me with icon and widget placement. Maybe a few other perks). Anyhow, now that I've updated to JB these launchers no longer work properly. I've tried Nova, Next and Go EX. None of them apply completely. One example would be Next, I install a theme, go to settings to apply it and it says "preview cannot be found" (or something like that). It does apply to some degree, I can change the dock icons to the themes design but only a few of them. All in all, it seems as if the theme gets half of it right. I also tried to use Go SMS, and it also wont apply completely.
So I hope this isn't all child's play, other forums chewed me up and said these are toys and lame and all that stuff... If anyone has any ideas or solutions it would be greatly appreciated. As of now it seems as if I am going back to Sense for the time being.
I'm also considering rooting. I really just don't like the phones stock look. So if this is a good solution, let me know.
Thanks, The New Guy.
