More importantly, some documentation on producing skins would be nice. I'm kind of curious about the process of making skins for Sense 4 and so far from googling I can't find much about it other than people do it. I've picked out the skin APKs and unpacked them, but I'm not sure what's involved with packing them back up since I don't do any android app development and these are probably a step beyond that even being that they don't really provide anything at all other than resources, and I'm sure there are all kinds of "gotchas" that you can run in to.

You need the m10 editors to theme the Rosie launcher which $20.

Unless something has changed since I last messed with it, you don't need those tools to make skin apks.

You don't if you're just going to edit icons but if you want to edit the actual Rosie launcher than you need the m10.

I have a few old themes that I made for the G1 way back when that I was thinking of recreating for the MT4G. My question is which, if any, would you guys like to see? I would be making it for the community and not for myself.
There are already plenty of good ones out that I've settled on so this would all be for you guys.
Check my Signature for links to the old G1 threads and have a look at them. Of course everything would be updated to fit 2.2 and 2.3 standards as well as higher resolution for everything.
What about darkstar...i think thats what it was called...i used it all the time on my mytouch 3g

If you do remake them, will they work on stock ROM or will it still need a home replacement?

These themes do not require a Home Replacement. They are themes you would have to be rooted to use and have to flash to apply.
I am working on making an LBP2 theme that will require an Home Replacement and will be put up in the market but anything I put up on XDA won't need it.

I always loved your themes on the g1, I actually still have one on it. I think you should make some for cm7 theme manager so that you can sell them on the market. Since cm7 is on many devices you would get a lot more downloads since the theme manager works on every phone cm7 does. A lot of the guys are making free themes and donate versions of the same theme. I am not saying I wouldn't appreciate having the more in depth themes you are capable of making, I just think there would be a much larger target audience if you hooked up some awesome cm7 themes.

I will look into it. I stopped modding my G1 a long time ago and have been out of the loop on slot of things. Having gotten a MT4G, I want to get back into theme making. I have some new ideas as well but I love remakes.

Yes, I would love to use those on my MT4G
I thought that it would be a really good addition for TSM Parts. On my tablet so I can't really link any videos or demos. But its pretty neat and I've seen it on my friend's droid Eris, so why not on the fascinate?
I know nothing about the technical aspects of how to port something etc, but I thought I'd thought I'd throw this idea out there.
Sorry for the post in dev section. I know the devs don't really look in any other sections. So yeah.

Don't know how difficult something like that is to port, but the reason you've seen it on an Eris is because it's an HTC phone with Sense... I would imagine that's pretty easy to port over
I imagine it's buried deeply in Sense's framework so I think porting it would be difficult, if not impossible. It would be cool though. The more lockscreen choices the better.

I guess this means you have never READ THIS? On topic, it is only possible to mimic a sense lock with what is available within the touchwiz frameworks (nitsuj17 has proven that very well). But no, a sense lock can't be ported to our device with the use of tw frameworks.
good day.

As for the op s original question... is it impossible? I used to yes to a lot if these things in pre sbrissen days... but now ill just say its unlikely
Most sense related things are extremely hard or too difficult to get working because of how heavily they are tied to the htc frameworks and resources
At best it would be too work for someone to get it working... so I doubt anyone would really take a stab at it... but then again who knows

It's been attempted several times from the og Droid to the sgs phones... and its never been completely successful.... I don't think 3g has ever been usable and there is usual hideous lag
Basically if you want the full sense experience your have to buy an htc phone

It's actually quite simple to get it ported and booting. It's just that NOTHING will work, and it'll be laggy. With a ton of time invested in it, it probably could be done, but it'd be extremely difficult.
Either way, what we have now is spectacular, just that it'd be pretty sick to see some sense integration. Especially that lockscreen. The launcher can be replaced, as well as icons and system menus etc. Not lockscreens. Thanks for all the answers people!

Yep. As much as I, and many others, would love ports of other skins(especially Sense), getting them to work is near impossible.

I have been extremely impressed with the 3dvo so far..EXCEPT: the whole landscape thing. When the 3.0 kingdom Roms were being built, It seemed like you had to make a choice: landscape Rosie, or full 3.0 carousel. Apparently HTC made a choice as well, except we don't even have Landscape in the app drawer...Lame.
Anyway, I was checking out a HTC flyer at Best Buy yesterday, and the Sense 3.0 on that has it all: portrait and carousel scrolling, AND full portrait and carousel app drawer. It ran and looked perfect, and on a single core device. Why shouldn't we have the same thing? While at the Best Buy, I noticed someone was signed in to the market, so I installed file expert and dropbox, and pulled copies of the Rosie .apk and the .odex for the .apk as well. Could this work on the 3d as well? While waiting on root, Maybe someone might give this a look if they're bored..Here's the original .apk:

Here's the odex:

Here's a zipped folder of the extracted .apk

I know this should go into Q&A, but I think the devs who might be interested in this are gonna be glued here for the next few days for sure, so I wanted to help the chance that it was at least looked at.
Thanks.
great idea man!!! bookmarked
Bookmarked as well!
would it also make it possible for a true 3d carousel since 3d only works in landscape? Maybe i am getting ahead of myself...

Hey mazook. The flyer Rosie quite a but different than the regular Sense 3.0 Rosie of your 3d. I'm not saying it won't work, but it will take some elbow grease. That Rosie has 5 interchangeable buttons, much like Launcher Pro or other home replacement as opposed to all other previous Rosies, where we had three and they were set in function. This Rosie is similar to the leaked doubleshot Rom (info aka misfit).
While I think I can make it to where it will install, I can't guarantee it will work correctly. Plus, I don't have a phone to test on.
Over on the Evo OG forums I have a thread started for theming be Sense UI while unrooted, a situation similar to all the 3ds as of now. Currently I am unrooted but running a custom Rosie with 4x5 workspace along with other edits to the UI. :-
While I believe this to be a fun challenge, I believe that root will be here sooner than you think and then it will be much easier for devs to play with this Rosie.

Is it possible to get sense on Optimus V?
well combine CM7, a sense style theme, LP Sense UI, Fancy Widgets with H7C skins... you can get something that is sense-ish
i doubt we'll ever see anything closer to sense on the Optimus V
Thats what i thought :/
well
I did do some looking on youtube and cam across this http://youtu.be/PzlBijNUbnc an I was amazed but I don't know how he got it like that.
I think it would be pretty much impossible for us or most other non htc based phones to ever see a sense based rom, I believe the major reason is because of legality issues with it. Don't quote me on that though. I'd love to see it happen, but it just wouldn't be worth it for any devs
someone ported it to the optimus p500 and has a thread on it. It's very much possible and would probably be a huge pita.
Yeah i could see some trouble with legality. I did see something over on android central, it was a fully themed HTC Espresso ROM which i think would be pretty cool to have. However, the link was to a google docs file share and the file was gone
but, by the time i can afford a Moto Triumph they're will probably be quite a few ROM's out. I know they've already rooted with Gingerbreak. savin up my money
Probably something I did awhile back. The legality isn't/hasn't ever been an issue. It's just getting everything to work right. I did a cm7 theme (it's on the market) it's missing some things and right now I been making my own roms so that the lockscreen can look like it should and a couple other things.

I have that espresso rom and will pm it to anyone who wants it. Also, my sense theme is very accurate. There are threads about it in the optimus v themes thread, and the Motorola triumph theme thread. I hope you aren't disappointed if you try it out.
