Hey everyone
I'm really not a fan of the SENSE ui however all the latest builds are all based off sense devices. I know I can use an alternate launcher but what about the dialer and sms app? I know I can use dialerone or handcentsms but what about the stock android dialer/sms app?
Basically. Is there a way to install the stock android dialer/sms app to a SENSE build? Is it just as simple as replacing apk's in the system/app dir? if so where can i find apks for the stock android dialer and sms app?
Thanks all. I googled but only found how to install the SENSE dialer/sms into a NON-SENSE build, not the other way around.

I thought this was maybe a problem with the theme I downloaded, but I've tried 5 other themes now, and it's the same story. I'm running RC1, and am using RC1 themes.
I download a theme, place it on SD, wipe cahce and dalvik, install, reboot...and nothing happens. I go into themes and the same 3 are still there...I try going through each of the 3 themes, and they aren't what I've downloaded.
So what is going on?
anyone, anyone? Bueller?
Are you trying to install themes that can be used with the theme chooser? Or are they flashable zip files? Because if they are for the theme chooser the theme is a .apk and needs to be installed like a app. You can do this using most any file explorer.

I have tried both flashing them in recovery, and installing them through the market. None of them work. You go into "theme chooser" and the same 3 are still there that show up when I've flashed the ROM.
I've tried this with the RC build, and the nightly build of CM7...none of them work.

Name the themes...it may help isolate the cause?

- Bliss
- Honeycomb
- R2D2
- Mixer
- Monochrome
- Frost
Which are zip files and which are apk files?
Mixer and honeycomb alpha v3 are apk files installed as true blue stated earlier. R2D2 is zip file that is flashed but not sure if working on nightlies since RC1. Others I do not know of....

Honeycomb is the only one I've gotten from the market...the rest I've flashed in recovery.

The honeycomb theme from the market is an adw theme. The others that you flash will not show in the theme Chooser. Hope that clarifies it for you.

Oh, ok well I'll try that.
But that doesn't explain why when I flash things, it doesn't show up in theme chooser.

Flashed zipped files do not show up in theme Chooser. Theme Chooser themes are apk files.
Adw themes show up in adw settings and choose theme.
In short, tmo/cm7 theme engine (theme Chooser app) only accepts apk files themed for this engine. Some are on the market and some are available through searching.

ok with that being said
how would you explain the themes not showing up once they are flashed through cwm?
for example for me...i flash Bliss in cwm for cm7 RC1 and as soon as the phone boots it shows the new theme
but in Bballs case the new theme he flashed doesnt show at all...even though he followed the same steps as i did...flashing Bliss in cwm on cm7 RC1
any idea why its not working for him?

Let's think it through. All things being equal prior to flashing the theme, what possible causes are there? First, bad download. Second, things are not equal prior to flash of theme. E.g., some settings or theme each phone has set is different (system or cyanbread for example). Some ideas??
Where is this bliss theme?

Ok. What theme do you have selected in theme Chooser? Likewise for the other phone.

well i know for at least me
i flashed Bliss on a fresh cm7 install...so the system theme was the current theme...other than that it was a normal install that i flashed Bliss
now Bball may be different...but im pretty sure he tried also on a fresh cm7 install...but i wont assume...im sure he can fill you in on what he did
EDIT: just to clarify my fresh install was cm7 RC1 and nothing else...no faux kernels or other icons or themes....flashed cm7 RC1 then after boot and initial setup i booting back into cwm and flashed the Bliss theme

is there anyway to customize stock sense 2.0 without using other launchers ?
Check out WidgetLocker on the market. Your launcher will still be sense and I replaces the lockscreen.

i already have that , is there anyway to customized the UI itself ?
Check the Themes section

There are themes for the CM7 theme chooser everywhere. Firstly, take a look in the HD2 Android Themes & Apps section, then have a look on the market and other resources. The app 'Rom Toolbox' does pretty much everything, including giving a nice list of CM7 themes. There's also an app called something along the lines of 'Themes for T-Mobile theme chooser' on the market which gives themes and previews of them.
Just go into ADWsettings (click centre windows key), there you will see option for get themes under Theme Preferences?
Is there a stock Android systemui.apk I can flash to make TW look like vanilla Android? Wanam can't fix some of it and my power menu, etc all still have blue backgrounds. Thanks!

Vanilla Android? It sounds like you want the powder blue Google /ASOP look. Transplanting AOSP system apps isn't going to work well.
You would be further ahead installing an ASOP themed TW custom ROM. Or otherwise theme your existing ROM. Or alternately install a full ASOP ROM.
