I often see people saying, "I would go to vanilla if..." Facebook syncing, mail support, etc. So I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of apps that can serve as replacements for sense functionality:
syncmypix - photo syncing with social networking (particularly facebook)
ringdroid - ringtone trimmer
adw launcer - good launcher replacement
launcherpro beta - my personal choice for a launcher
beautiful widgets - weather/clock widget as well as settings toggles (bluetooth, wifi, etc.)
fancy widget - free alternative to the weather/clock widget
cubed (3) - music player
Submit your own replacements, and I'll update the list.
Helix was my primary on my Hero, but the newest ADW is the awesome. I installed all the home replacements and ADW won me over with the customization options: Horizontal or Landscape rotation, ability to peg 4 apps to the tray, ability to add columns/rows, ability to not show icon names, and overall transparency settings.

Didn't think you could put vanilla on the Evo even if you root. Am I wrong? Kinda confused

There is not yet a functioning AOSP ROM, but as soon as HTC releases the kernel source we should have plenty.

No we don't have true vanilla, but we do have more or less "sense-less" roms to some extent. You can basically pull most htc apps out and replace some others with vanilla versions. Not quite vanilla, but I prefer it as little sense as possible.

I agree ADW is very nice, but don't overlook launcherpro. All those settings are available in launcherpro too. Of course, purely your choice and personal preference, just saying.
launderpro FTW!
fancy widget is a great htc weather replacement..grab it before it disappears.

Thanks for the info brotha'
Any rough ideas how long HTC usually waits until they release the kernel source for a phone?

They wait forever. I dont know if its a sprint thing or htc. But the htc hero it took months for 1.5 source and we have been waiting for close to a month for 2.1 kernel source.
My guess for the evo... its going to be awhile.

I'm running froyo and 4g doesnt work so no icon.
Just trying to see if anyone would be interested in this mockup so I know if I should bother making it.
Edited together quickly for mockup purposes.
"Gloss" type effect colors seem off, but shall be perfected and the icons have lost there gradient effect currently
I think it would be interesting to see a white glossy theme.
Would look good on OpenDesire!
Very interested. Please make it
Looks fantastic.
+1.
In my opinion, I'd like to see it strictly black/white with minimal colour.

With a black circle battery and numbers changing colors, instead of the circle changing colors the same way Fightspit super circle type D does, it would be a killing theme.

Never been interested in circle mods tbh but yours sounds interesting, personally I like smooth sense and plan to incorporate it atleast for now
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Please release that default white already
Then you can focus on that circle battery.
I shall look into getting it out for the end of next month, Limited time and a rubbish PC and unfamiliar tools of paint.net

With this in mind, I'm going to close this thread and you can PM a Desire mod/Senior mod, when you are ready with the theme.
I like the Facebook layout, so why not make a theme from it? This was first on MIUI-Dev, but with all the sh*t going on there, I decided to plant it here
(click to see bigger image)
What do you guys think? This is all still in Photoshop. There's still alot of work to do to finish this.
I'm planning to theme as much as possible (SMS/MMS, Dialer, Contacts, etc). But I will finish it up first in PS and then release the whole theme.
What has changed:
- New icon style (like the blue buttons in the popup in Facebook)
- Stricter colortype. Exactly the same colors as used in Facebook, except for the opened folder background, because of the white text
- A clean and clear notification dropdown, where background of notifications is 80% transparent
- Clear blue active action icons, grey and beveled in when not active
- in MMS/SMS a beveled in button with colored icon when that one is active, no beveled in and lightblue border for icons that are not active
Very cool
Cant wait to test drive it very cool concept dont give up
Awesome man, does dev's over at miui treat people like ****. the way he talks he must be one big dork.
Saw this one over at miui-devs yeah, looks promising...I would most certainly give this one a try
Still can't wait for this theme. Looks so sick. I really appreciate how complete you're making it and theming everything.

looking great! i just hope the theme turns out as full as it can be, and as consistent with facebook's design as possible. and also id prefer no themed icons only icon backgrounds because it annoys me when some icons i use are themed and some are not and it does not look good with half themed and half unthemed icons on my home screen, just icon backgrounds is great.

I was thinking of that too. When the theme is finished, I will release 2 packs: one with themed icons, other without. I will also provide a psd for people who want to create their own icons, and I will do weekly updates with those new icons in the theme.

Looks great dude, can't wait to try it.
Thanks everyone for the interest in this theme. The design for this theme has been slowed down due to me being sick and stuff. The last thing I themed whas the MMS/SMS layout. Been struggelin' with the colors alot. Also, I have no idea how I will make the foldericons look like... any thoughts from the community?
Firstly I think this theme looks flipping great. My opinion on the folder look would be to keep it true to the Facebook theme. Have the folder have a white backing and if possible have the apps list in blue text along side a smaller icon like a friend list. Not even sure something like this is possible, that's just how I see it in my head! Then again there's alot of crazy crap in there.
Keep up the awesome work.

Thanks for your comment. It is not possible to alter the listing options of the folder icon. It's defaulted to 4 icons in the folder icon.

Next week I will hope to have a beta version up, where icons, foldericons, opened folder, notification bar/pulldown and mms/sms is themed.
hurry up plz im ****ting myself for this theme... no jk take your time to get it right. but asap would be nice, no pressure thooo... ))

Hi again,
I want to add that big digital flip clock to the front screen of my phone but I'm having a brain fart with getting this done. Can someone please help.
Im running CM7 version 2.3.2. Im also using ADWLauncher EX. I dont know if my phone has the option to add the digital clock to the front and I just have to select it or what?
If you say I dont have it and I have to get a widget to make this possible. My next question is, won't this cause a problem with ADW Launcher EX?
Thanks
BK
if your talking about the Flip clock that was on the stock ROM, that is proprietary to HTC's Sense... don't know if ADW EX has a imatation of it, however you can get one that is very similar only customizable in the Market it is called Beautiful Widgets and no it won't cause any issues with ADW.
Thanks Raven...I know Im being way too careful with this phone...Lol. I was going to get beautiful widgets it seems nice and lots of people like it but for whatever reason in my head, I thought it will cause a conflict because they are two different themes...I know that doesnt make sense
But thanks for the info!

If you have a certain clock downloaded already then long press on your home screen and select add widget. Go through and find the clock you want and tap on it. Is the clock you're talking about the Sense clock or something like it?
Edit: you beat me to it.

I can vouch for beautiful widgets. Its probably the best alternative I've used.

el-jodio...I guess it would be sense clock...its the one you see when they advertise the phone...it has the big white and black numbers...I flashed my phone to CM7 and I dont think I have it anymore unless Im doing something wrong.
When I long press on the touch screen...and window pops up and says add to home screen...it has, wallpapers, shortcuts, and widgets.
When I click on widgets, another window pops up and it shows a clock but its the ugly round analog clock. So I dont think I have this.
Unless it comes with the ADW Laucher EX...but I dont think it does.

no problem man, I was the same way with my first decent Android device (I don't count that Behold 2 I started with). BW is just the replacement for the Weather/Flip Clock. I even have it on the BH2 I gave my daughter and she loves it.
edit: once you flashed CM7 and got rid of Sense you lost it all you can do is get a clone such as BW or go back to Sense (either stock/Ice-Glacier or one the Desire HD or Z ports)

Yeah its gone like raven stated but check out beautiful widgets, its worth the money. It has a lot of different skins and ways to customize it. Or try out other sense roms.

How can I get back to before I updated this morning my galaxy tab 10.1? I hate the new white all over and want to go back.
No way back.... Besides installing CWM and flashing back to a previous version of 3.1... I don't care so much about the color but really enjoying the smooth homescreen.

Well, I hate the white swype and don't like the new color scheme, too white. I also don't notice any difference in speed. Don't like www browser color too. Too white or bright.

I do agree about Swype. I know Samsung is going for a unified look, but the dark one is far more slick.
Who cares for swype! It is for smart phones, I use Thumbkeyboard and I am loving it.

i'm not sure, but the swype beta was/is free, so you could uninstall swype and load that beta if its still out there
edit: check this link out
Thanks for the input. Is the beta swype darker like the default android keyboard?
I'm going to keep everything and hope there's a 3.2 update sometime. If I get too annoyed I might consider rooting it for the stock rom.

Don't count on any 3.2 update removing the TouchWiz.
SwiftKey X is better anyway.

Just check for software updates in setting menu?

If you just got it new retail then it probably shipped with TouchWiz. Does your menu bar look like this or like the stock Honeycomb?
Smoother? my tab seems laggier if anything when moving through homescreens. I do have 3-4 widgets over all if that makes a difference, and picture frames.
1st one, got it, it means i already have touchwiz
it lags like **** though, not comparable with my phone's smoothness =(
i still can't the the info about sgt10.1 getting android 3.2, i've heard that it fixes most of the lags, does anybody know anything concerning the ETA?
Yeah. Laggy a bit.3. 2?
