I'm new to htc so this is probably a lame question. When I go into settings personalize I have the scene and skin options but nothing to choose from. Are there themes I can download? If so what ones and any recommendations? I'm rooted and unlocked running the battery plus rom with the stock kernel.
HTC DROID DNA
Take a look in the themes and apps section. There are some to download in there.

Do they show up in settings_personalize_skins or scene? Or do you have to flash a stock theme to go back to the current theme? I guess I'm looking how to get options into the skins or scene option, I don't have anything to choose from. Are there themes in the play store available like the cm theme chooser?

He just told you go to the DNA themes and app forum the skins are regular apks you just Download install and they'll show up in your skin chooser

Yup sorry, Im a douchebag, I told you it was a lame question. Still getting the hang of what is HTC sense based and what is functionality of the ROM.
I switched from the battery plus rom to the Hatka rom, I now have multiple choices under personalize, also tried a couple of the Team 420 mods.

There not mods, there skins. They can be used on a stock, unrooted phone.

This is a beautiful theme.

Can anyone port it over to be able to use on the stock rom?
I am no Dev. But that is slick as ****. I would be down for this!

not sure if it will work on Stock/Espresso ROM but if you are running a Stock Sense ROM (ThunderBolt, Desire HD, Desire Z ect) you can download the Skins from the following thread... Glass Sense is the closest you can get to this theme, there are a few things that don't change.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928
and a few more
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998896
EDIT: the first link has the Glass Sense Skin
From what I understand....the "espresso" sense is different enough from the regular sense that if we tried to flash those...it would screw up our phones right?
I really want to keep the regular rom...and I love the theme link i posted.
I really hope someone can make something happen for us "stockers"
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
You don't flash those skins, they are .apk files... You install them as an app. Worse case scenario, you install and stock theme chooser doesn't show it.
Hmmm..now that sounds interesting
Thanks man

Just tried an apk...no workie
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
that sux, I was hoping it would work but wasn't sure... side note I forgot to mention in my first post, if you decide to switch to a Sense ROM to use those skins it has to be a Sense 2.0 ROM such as the ones I listed, Royalmint or any of the other Sense 2.1 ROMs that have popped up lately won't work.
Can anyone please post links of there is any for stock?
Thanks

if you look on the market, there is one called androidian. also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016227 is another one, its a classic expresso theme. but other than that you are better off rooting, installing a rom (personally ive always thought the best is the cyanogen mod team, but team royal is good also). but next time, search. there are a few of these topics around, one even by myself before i went ahead and rooted mine.

From what I've heard it's incredibly difficult to really theme the Stock ROM other than changing the colors. *shrugs*
It's crazy, man.
T-Mobile theme engine can be compared to the Awesome MetaMorph program. But it does not require root to be able to theme your rom.
I am currently conducting experiments to add more edits to the standard theme template.
Should I open a thread to involve the community in the progression of the theme-ing process of the MT4G roms not requiring root? Let me know!

Any news on this? I would love to see what you could pull off with this
Baby steps
I haven't tried to add to the standard theme yet.
I will try these edits when I begin an AOSP theme.
I have been working on perfecting editing first.
I have a Sense UI theme also coming soon.
I have other themes coming from contributing themers.
Also, about the new thread, I am brainstorming the structure and goals of the thread...
Is there a difference between a skin and a theme.
Skins are usually apk and themes are flashed.
Themes will change the dynamics of the entire look of your GUI. A skin changes the background and launcher look.

Can we use themes on a custom rom? Especially with some of the Rosies and lockscreens that have been modified. Will the skins graphics conflict with thosen
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Themes are usually made for specific type of Rom ie (sense) and so on. Make sure thw theme you're flashing is compatible with the Rom.

So do you need to be rooted to load a skin/theme? As a non-rooted newb, is the wallpaper the only real thing I can change?

Theme yes, Skin no. There are several skins on the forum that non rooted users can download and enjoy.
Just want to get a view of interest if this theme would be wanted by anyone. I loved it and built it right before the 3.5 craze.
Like stated in rader3bravos thread sense stuff cant be themed, but if your using an alt launcher it would work.
Please vote, and if you want reply with what rom you would like to see it on.

Ya bud, port it over. The more themes for this phone, the better. I could always use some help with finding new framework, so by all means, port away.
Thats a very nice theme you got there .
Looks amazing I like it simple
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
yup its nice, but i wish someone would make a rom and theme which make the phone really stand out tech wise. Would love things like the snapshot picture or video which shows on cover of album for pics or vids, or even ont he widget on desktop to actually play life preview as the snapshot your hovering over, or make everything all techy and extremely futuristic if you know what i mean

Who said sense can't be themed? Challenging but not impossible
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I'd love it if this was a Launcher Pro theme. I'm not going back to Sense just for a theme.
Definitely port it over. Its awesome
@Fernando I meant sense a in m10 3.5. Unless you know a trick we don't...
@mrsmith There is a launcher pro theme posted in the original thread. I think second or third post.
I tried to make it work for anyone. No matter if they used sense or a replacement launcher.

Meaning new png's from Sense 3.0. There are at least 50 +, png's that need to be resized. There's also entirely new png's I've never themed before. It's going to take some time to get it fully themed.

I would love to have it! I'm using ADW, but have used LP with other phones. I'm running the Senseless Rom from ScottsRoms.com and my rezound is running much more smoothly and quickly without Sense.
I am probably about to upgrade to an Evo LTE.
I would like to know if there is a ROM that is as close as possible to AOSP (cm10 preferred) but which has the stock camera.
Is it possible to have a rom with minimal sense framework but which includes sense camera ?
Still torn between Evo and galaxy s3....
Thanks!

I have only every seen a handful of hybrid roms and they are difficult to maintain from my experience with them, the closest you will get is if someone can import the libs and somehow get it working that way but things like image sense are proprietary and it takes a lot of work to reverse stuff like that. Try one of the bloat removing scripts, I don't remember the name but one removes rosie and replaces it with a ics/jb based launcher so you aren't just running a launcher on top of rosie
If you install the new Viper 2.0 ROM you can choose to install it "Senseless" which gives largely the look of CM10, but you'll still have the Sense Camera

Good to know, I have yet to try viper. Seems just like that wipe script I saw a few months back. Aroma has a lot of customization built in.

RacerOfAll has a sick AOSP theme because he hates Sense but wants to keep using Sense features like the camera.
His Viper4G 1.0 theme is awesome, but now Viper is on 2.0 and the theme hasn't been updated, yet, so for the now I've manually pulled some of his apk's from the theme, manually replaced other apk's with AOSP versions and am using an HTC ICS skin and a 3rd party ICS launcher.
Basically, there's lots of stuff you can do to Sense ROMS to make them appear near-identical to AOSP while keeping Sense under the hood.
Join our Legion and don't look back. That plastic GSIII is for the birds.

Awesome, man! You're gonna love it! I'm not going to release anything publicly, but once you're rooted let me know and I can send you the apks I use to make my phone look stock ICS.
I recommend Viper4G ROM from the Original Android Development forum. It comes with an awesome tweaks app that will let you customize the icons in your status bar to AOSP style. If you flash a different ROM I'll help you get it as AOSP as possible but you'd be on your own for the status bar
I might start a thread in the theming forum with screen shots of my setup and directions on how to emulate it now that I think about it. I'll be out of town Sunday so I'll check back here on Monday
