I've looked through numerous threads, but the opinions are pretty mixed.
Does anyone predict issues with removing any of these apps?
I will not be using Sense.
I'm making a flashable zip to remove these so I don't need to manually do it every time I flash a new ROM.

Yeah, I know. Kind of expecting that.
But, I have used search, I have frozen them (had other errors from nightly, so hard to narrow down), but I just want to see if anyone else has had problems before I write the rest of the script.

He means that it should have been in the Q&A section, not the dev section. So now that we have that clear, if you're not using a sense rom, those things shouldn't be in there in the first place. If you are using a sense based rom, removing anything that says htc in it could cause problems.

Dammit, too many xda tabs. Can I get a mod to move it for me?
Eh, wrong section, but by now, you already know that. Try to post in the right section next time.
Anyways, you'll be fine with that list, just be advised that if you remove the lockscreens and their idlebases, you'll lose Incoming Caller ID. You'll need to unlock before answering each time.
Also, if you're going to debloat, you might as well remove Burgandy and Blue Sky, as well as the Streak Wallpaper and the Live Weather Wallpaper. Both are ultimately useless, the streak wallpaper isn't exactly dramatic, and the weather live wallpaper (2 apks) are also useless and all you have to do is look at the weather app to see them. Those two apks combined are massive in comparison to the rest.
Might as well add "MyReportAgent.apk" to the mix.
Thanks....

So, this here would be my very first post to XDA Forums! With that being said, I think it's safe to say I'm somewhat, if not very much a noob.
But let's get into it shall we?
I recently (2 days ago) flashed the Liberty 1.5 Rom onto my D2. Previous to that I rooted my phone about two months prior using the Z4 easy root app, but shortly after realized I didn't really know what I was doing (all I wanted to do was delete, what I now know is called 'bloatware' apps off of my phone) Then I found Liberty. so beautiful! .. so I figured out how to flash it easily by dl it from my pc and copy and pasting it to my sd card then loading using D2 Bootstrap Recovery.
Okay okay, now REALLY getting to what this is all about..
I saw, and fell in love with the Kovicon Hybrid icon pack. I want it!.. I just don't know how to go about getting it! I already dl'd it onto my pc from a Droid Forum site droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/48683-release-kovicon-hybrid-icon-pack.html to be exact. And now I'm not sure where to go from there. Do I use MetaMorph, do I unload the .zip file from Bootstarp Recovery?
Please help!! I'd be eternally grateful!!
Thanks for bearing with my, how you say, noob..ie..ness?
It's all good. Everyone has to start somewhere.
I glanced over the article, and it looks like you'd use Metamorph. I am, honestly, to lazy to type up a full set of instructions, so if you will forgive that short falling, I will direct you over to a set of pretyped instructions:
http://droidpirate.com/2010/08/18/installing-custom-metamorph-theme/
If ya have any further questions, encounter any problems, need some elaboration, etc feel free to ask.
Oh, I understand, I too suffer from said laziness .. Okay, I am looking into it now! This may take some time ha Thanks for responding in the first place! :-D
Omgosh!!! I did it!!! Thank you sooooooo much!!! this is awesome .. now I just need to find out how to change the launcher thing, the thing that normally has the app list button, and phone button and browser .. do you have any idea how to do that???
Congradulations. And, I prob do (or atleast can find instructions if i dont), but I am not sure what you are wanting to change? To a diffrent launcher? Change the buttons that are there? Change the look/background? Something else entirely? Give me alittle more info, and I'll do my best to find you the info you need.
hahah alright, well I tried posting a rather amazing picture that summed it up completely, but since I am so new it wouldn't let me .. Okay, it's the button(s) on your main screen. The one that is normally in the middle, if you tap it, it brings up all your apps. And then next to it usually on the left is the phone button to dial numbers. Then usually on the right is a button for a browser or sms! .. Ya know???
That's usually how it is by default? Unless you mean you wanna apply a new theme to it?
Maybe try PMing me the pic/link?
Sorry to get back like a whole day later! .. I found out it's called a dock. And yeah I was just wondering if I could custom theme that, and where to find different dock icons and such .. I know I could always use Adw Launcher, but I can never really get into that.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I dont really think you can theme the stock launcher that much. Though custom launchers - such as ADW, Launcher Pro, etc - have a wide variety of customization options.
Gilgamesh, you are pretty wrong. You CAN theme launcher2.apk
If you look at my pink steel theme it is completely different from other launcher2s. It has 4 shortcuts at the bottom 6 items in the menu and a 3d app drawer. I could even make the dock invisible if I wanted to. You can't do as much to the stock launcher (launcher2) but you can still do a bunch of customization.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Didn't say you couldn't do it at all, just was saying the options were more limited compared to the other launchers. Being that the other launchers have far more options, far more information, imo are easier to theme, and again imo preform allot better; it would, as always, imo, make the OPs life allot easier if he focused on the other launchers.
Even when i hit the toggle the screen rotates, i saw other people had the same issue. I asked the devs if it was meant to be that way but they must have missed my post. Does anyone else have this issue?
The launcher is meant to rotate, nothing else should if the setting is off.

Thats my issue, the setting is off and it still rotates.
What is rotating? Everything or just while on the launcher? The launcher will rotate with the setting off, but no other apps should.

oh ok, i dont get that really, i switched back to launcherpro bc it doesnt do that.
Lol ya, I did not understand why they tweaked the launcher that way. It's in the release notes stop it seems intentional.

Theu tweaked the launcher to rotate. But it doesnt hook the rotation toggle. So it'll rotate regardless if rotation is turned off or not. Blame samsung or nitsuj17

I gotta change my sig to reflect that, it seems people use comrom or some deviation bc its quick to say maybe. In any respect now i can switch back to the reg launcher, i appreciate it. Would there be a way to mod in the future to use of of the things that launcherpro and adw afford us, like having just the icons without the names of the apps, of changing the icons of the apps while on the desktop?

Sorry to go off topic (your answer ends topic anyways), but that is because the thread title is not "Ultimate KangBang". I thought its name was simply community rom as I'm sure others did.

How can I completely remove the ripple lockscreen from my device? I am using Go launcher ex and go locker, they work well except when the device is rebooted it shows the ripple lockscreen which i have to unlock in order to see the go locker screen and unlock that as well.
As for lockscreen after that go locker works fine and I dont see that ripple screen. Any suggestions?
Thanks

yes, since it's a 3rd party lockscreen, changing it has nothing to do with the go launcher lockscreen. I dont use go locker I use widget locker and it still works after setting the samsung lockscreen to none.

Take it easy, no need to be rude while answering a question, then go through the trouble of editing again and explain how long it took you to find it. If you cant help it, keep your solution to yourself
I think the posters point was that you should have done the digging yourself instead of posting on XDA and making someone else do it for you. I don't think he was being rude, but probably spends time answering questions that are easily answerable with just a tad bit of exploration :angel:

You could have easily looked through the options before posting. Is that too difficult? Apparently so.. But instead expect other people to do the leg work for you..

Hey everyone, it's time for some custom lockscreens!
I will not be doing any requests for a device with a different screen resolution
What can be modded?
Time/date
Operator text
Pull to unlock text
Lockring & Shortcuts
Everything you see
What can be done to these?
Moved around anywhere on the screen
Shrunk/Enlarged
Show/Hide
The possibilities are endless.
*The only problems will be that if you want your shortcuts moved around, they might not drag to the lock ring correctly thus making them unusable. Also, the buttons to answer calls may be a little tricky because I cant always test that right away.* Tell me what you want, and I will tell you if they work.
These mods should work on ANY Sense 4.x ROM based on ICS, but, please upload your Idlescreen_Base.apk to ensure that this will not break anything. It saves headaches.
So just post your Idlescreen_Base.apk and tell me what you want done. I will post them all in the second post. Don't worry if I don't get to your request immediately, it will be done. Sometimes college comes first
Attached are a few examples of what I've done/can be done.
This post is where I will link and keep track of every request/mod I do.
ICS Mods:
Here's a link to one I've already done: Center Lock Mod
Center Lock Mod for Viper4g: Here
Revert to stock: Here
Center Lock with left clock and music above icon text: Here
Stock ring with icon text only and right side clock/date: Here
Center Lock with no icons, just text: Here
Stock w/ lowered icons and shrunk clock Here
Right Ring and Icons a.k.a. Badass! Here
Right ring, large left clock and no icons: Here
Left ring, stock time/date etc, no icons: Here
Stock w/ no operator or shortcut label text: Here

Sure I uploaded a stock revert zip based off of the newest RUU in the second post.
Thanks for posting this Gumby63! I saw you guys talking about this a little while ago. Screenshots here show just how versatile and interesting this mod can be.
I attempted to see what it would take to do something more "Sense 1/2ish" with the sliding down of the bar to unlock just for fun. It looks entirely doable because, by essentially enlarging the lockring, it flows off of the screen, giving that bar-type effect.
Plus, if the ring is long enough on the left and right sides, the ring looks way more bar-like. No matter where you drag, the ring is too "ovally" to look like it's being moved from side to side.
The problems I found were expanding the invisible dragging area so that it covers the entire ring, the fact that the bar drags down, not up, and that when scaled up, of course the ring looks bad.
--
I'm excited to see what you come up with. One thing that has me curious is, could the setups be done in several APK files for ease of selection? The stocks, productivity, weather, etc. lockscreens are set up as different APKs.
Way awesome.

Hmm that's actually a really cool idea. So I'm trying to understand the problem you ran into. Do you mean that touching a certain part of the ring doesn't allow you to drag it? I think that's what you mean. I'm sure there's a property somewhere that controls this, I'll look around for it.
I know that you can make it so that you can drag the ring down to unlock, I did that for the mod in post 2.
Would you mind posting the apk?
And to answer your other question, yes I believe that is possible but I'm not sure as I've never tried.
My guess would be that you need to make any edits to the lockring/shortcuts etc in Idlescreen_base first, then make the edits to weather/productivity etc to make them fit according to the edits made in idle base.
Thanks for the input

Thanks. Yeah. I believe that I'm missing a step with the lockscreencontainer.
I've attached it. It's probably best if you turn lockscreen shortcuts off as I just quickly through that together. Also, imagine that you're pulling down the ring rather than pulling it up. I also went ahead and moved the carrier caption and date down there as well. It's static, so it doesn't work quite like it did, but I was just playing around anyways.
Thanks!

Okay so I messed around with it a bit, and here's the outcome.
You can drag down to unlock, and I hid the unlock animation so it actually functions like the Sense 1 lockscreen would have. I moved the call buttons up (but haven't tested them yet) so in theory those should work, but everything else like music/notifcations etc will still overlap.
Pretty neat idea. Looks strange, but neat!
Apk is attached for anyone who wants to play with it.

I have to admit, for something that wasn't designed to do that, it's really very good. You're right. It's strange, but hey, It's making me feel strangely nostalgic at the moment. Thank you!
I hope to see a few more mini-guides on messing with the elements (proportions correct) a little more. Of course, I should probably read the entire M10 editing thread.
Thanks again.

Hey guys! My question is about the themes on the MyColorScreen website. I've noticed that not all of them can be used on the Themer app. The one I want to use in particular is called Pink Chrome. I tried putting it in the export folder and it didn't work when I applied it with the Themer app.
Would it be possible for someone to show me how to convert this theme so it will work with Themer?
And if the Themer team is reading, please make it possible to make the themes on MyColorScreen.com work with Themer? I realize that there's 50,000 themes on the site, but those are great themes and it's frustrating when those themes don't work with the app. Thanks.

same here and there are some much better themes on MCS's website.
I'm pretty sure that MCS's website is where folks would upload home screens they made on their own to show off what they'd created. If you click on an image, you often get an explanation as to what apps were used to create these homescreens. The Themer app was just created by MCS and what you see at the main MCS site aren't themes for the app. I wouldn't doubt if some of these screens are used for inspiration for developing themes in the future though.
I'm not 100% on this, but this is what I gathered.

There should at least be an option to use those themes, though. I was disappointed to not be able to use Pink Chrome.

not trying to come off as a jerk but give it some time. the app just came out. and its beta at that.. they cant be expected to get all 50,00 themes to be compatible for the app this early. it doesnt quite work like that (dragging random files from said theme into a folder for themer. the theme creator has to make sure to use the apps that Themer the app is compatible with and then export it). im confident that in time, a lot of themes will be added, and possibly Pink Chrome will be too. a lot of users also give instructions under their MyColorscreen theme to set up manually which is an option if it has not been added to the Themer app yet. maybe the same goes for Pink Chrome. things will start to fall into place as soon as more themers get on board with the app. its understandable that people are frustrated with this beta app but its not a magic tool. there are behind the scenes processes, and configuring that needs to be done so you, the end user can just click once and enjoy any theme they have listed on your specific model device (there are many to test and make it compatible with). like the widgets that are used for one. a lot of the themes on the MCS website use many different widget apps that Themer just simply dont support yet. the app is free and their team is small. Patience is key

Well the themes on the website have been made by the users, I don't think Themer can just pick them up and covert them for Themer without the permission of the people who've created them
Yes as has been said above it's going to take time. Right now we have a very small team and taking a theme from MCS, working with a designer to rebuild it in Themer using our tools, then implementing the theme to work on many screen resolutions takes a lot of time. We are trying to grow and hire more people so this doesn't take as long.
Also another issue is that many themes on MCS cannot be reproduced in Themer because certain third party widgets were used that aren't available with Themer. However, we announced today that Zooper widget will soon be in Themer, so the number of themes that we can recreate from MCS will skyrocket.

I wasn't saying the option to use themes on the site needs to be implemented *today*. I was just saying they should implement it *someday*. I know this is a beta. I know it's not a magic tool. I'm not delusional or anything.

I wasn't complaining. I was suggesting. Sorry if it came across as *****ing. I figured since it was a beta, they were open to suggestions.

im sure they are very open to suggestions.
its just that they have had a bad rap so far for no reason, and if you look at their reviews in the play store, a lot are bad only because the code fiasco. and when their servers couldnt keep up with the high amount of user wanting to try it out. thats why they wanted to stagger out the codes.. so they can build upon what they have now. im sorry if i came off defending these guys a little harshly. i create screens for MCS so i understand the work that is put into it. and i know their team is small as of right now. but rest assured, this app will only get bigger and better in time. now with Zooper support, its a giant leap ahead now. again patience is key and please enjoy themer. its really a five star app and effort

Well, this sure is an awesome app so far! And seeing all those screens on the site floored me!
I know about the ratings in the Play Store. It's really not fair because people don't understand what beta means, and why the codes were necessary, so they gave an unfair vote. I remember when Gmail was beta. It was the same way, with codes. And that's a Google product!
But yeah, I don't blame you for being defensive. It can be hard, anyway, to decipher what people mean when you read a post on the internet. It's not like you can hear their voice, or see their body language. It's all good! And I love Themer! It's great! And the existing themes are more flexible than people realize.

how can I know what new themes are availale in THEMER without reachning my ph
I know Im deviating a little bit from the topic here but I find that is related.... and didnt want to create a new thread just for that.
The concern I've been strugling the most lately is that majority of themes I would like to try out are not in THEMERAPP already and Im willing to give them time since I know is hard and long process for a BETA stage and I dont wanna be demanding, but how can I know or tell what new themes are availale in THEMER without reachning my phone or going into that app itself, I would like to know that because I'd like to analyze a theme in my PC before I try it in the actual phone.
Thanks in advance.
it would be nice that themer could change the framework such as dialer messaging app etc...
maybe in the future ....just a thought.

Hey guys! My question is about the themes on the MyColorScreen website. I've noticed that not all of them can be used on the Themer app. The one I want to use in particular is called Pink Chrome. I tried putting it in the export folder and it didn't work when I applied it with the Themer app.
Would it be possible for someone to show me how to convert this theme so it will work with Themer?
And if the Themer team is reading, please make it possible to make the themes on MyColorScreen.com work with Themer? I realize that there's 50,000 themes on the site, but those are great themes and it's frustrating when those themes don't work with the app. Thanks.

To do this you would have to download the original file then strip completely.
Then using the original wallpapers re build the theme in themer.
by setting the wallpaper in themer options. Then adding the widgets required when this is all done export the theme and it will be saved.
I've done this myself with the themer theme HUD so I could mod to my liking and make a matching lock screen.
Hope this helped

Okay. Tried it. Looks like I need Zooper widgets to get this to work. I'll just wait till Zooper gets integrated with Themer. Thanks anyway.
