Achievement unlocked: De-sense Honeycomb (View / Flyer) - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Alright, I'm editing this:
Progress so far: I managed to remove the shortcuts and everything is still running fine. I just dont have the bubbles. If a themer wants to hop on this, I can tell them what APK to edit to make the lock ring change.
Pics or it didnt happen:

this thread will be a log of my progress as I delete all sense aspects completely.
Eventually I will post a full rom included with all of my modifications to the device.

Nice. The sense lock does nothing for me

Nevermind...stupid things...

The lockscreen does not want to be removed...

Update: I removed the stupid little shortcuts since they are impractical. I'll work on atleast getting the lock ring themed.

Finished desensing everything. Only things are lockscreen and framework files that can't be removed. The desensed roms never removed sense. Just replaced launcher, browser, and keyboard. I kept the notes app because I think its cool

[Q] Help Theming Google Search Widget

Hi Guys,
I'm a designer and have put together a concept of a Google Search Widget that I wouldn't mind sitting on my home screen. I've integrated styles from other parts of the UI so that it'll fit more seamlessly into the user experience.
I've never developed for Android before but have done a lot of background reading and am aware of the various \res\drawable images I'll need to replace. My question is whether or not I'll be able to replace those images without rooting my device, using ASTRO for example?
Also, is it a simple case of replacing the \res\drawable images and it working or is there more to it?
I've got a locked bootloader and don't want to unlock it, so am waiting for ICS and a hopeful way to root with a locked bootloader then.
Screenshot of what it will look like:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

I'll be re-designing the app that launches upon touch to look more like the Xperia UI menus
Cheers,

Link: [Keyboard mod] HTC_IME.apk without arrows - Now with landscape

Haven't seen this in the EVO LTE forums yet so I thought I would link to this. This is the HTC_IME keyboard without the arrows for the HTC One X. Works in portrait and landscape without leaving the empty space on the right in landscape. I pushed it to my EVO LTE and it works fine.
I take no credit for this, just linking. Thank ali3nfr3ak when you get there.

Note: There are 2 versions. One has the background behind the keys changed to all black (*BG_Changed.apk). The other I guess is supposed to have a transparent backdrop but it looked more like transparent and black stripes so I used the changed version and thought it looked much better.
thanks man i needed this
Thank you for the link. Works great on flex stock Rom.

Lockscreen weather and notifications

I've been looking round for a bit, ever since I got my nexus 7, for something with a nice clean interface, where I can view all my notifications, the weather, the time and maybe some other things, but i've not found anything that suits my needs.
Android has a beautiful lockscreen and, especially on tablets, has quite a bit of spare room. I realise that lockscreen notifications is going into Apple territory slightly, and have no idea if the addition of this by Google would cause them any repercussions, but I think it would be a nice feature for them to add to this increasingly beautiful OS.
I had a few minutes so I threw something quick together to put my thoughts across as to what a good lockscreen notification system would look like in my opinion.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If anyone has seen something like this that I have missed, please let me know. I think this would be a nice addition to the lockscreen.

Does anyone else dislike the clock?

My one complaint about my phone so far is the default clock. It's annoyingly big with way too much of a scene on it imo. I miss the Sense clock's looks and also the fact that I could easily access both weather and my alarms through it. I wish Samsung had their lockscreen's clock+weather as an option for a widget with this functionality. Does anyone know of a good widget I can get that for this?
Fancywidgets works pretty good.

I use HD widgets. I think it's like $2 but it gets you back the sense-like clock/weather widget you want. All colors and font are fully customizable. It also gets you back the alarm functionality you wanted.

I ended up going with HD widgets. Thanks.

Request: Transparent Google Voice Widget

I'm looking for a transparent Google Voice widget. I've searched high and low on XDA and the web and have probably tried 8 different apks that claim to be transparent but they don't work for me. I had one working on my Epic but the transparency doesn't show on the Note 2. I'm running Sprint stock LJC rooted. Any help would be appreciated, but please, don't post a link unless you've tried it and know it works. Thanks!
hmm,I might be able to help. Will look at it tonight, If you're ok with it being based off the one my sig

Here, just made this-- made it mostly transparent (since it contains text) to make it legible on most backgrounds.
FYI, the widget layout is different for the epic, which is why it wasn't showing up the same on the note.
