[REQ]Mythamps Nexus contacts theme

A few weeks back, I could get this working on a Sense FroYo rom. (for the life of me, I can't remember what one it was)
Since flashing different roms, I haven't been able to make it work on any. Always results in the contacts app being removed.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

Really nice.
Di someone succed to flash that on a CM6 ROM? I'm too afraid to do that.

Works on latest DeFrost.
I love the theme, especially the dialer look.

Sound more complicated, here are some stuff I don't Understand very weel.
They are located from post #16 in the original thread you linked in first post:
"U have to rename the file cm6phone.APK to Phone.apk and then dump it in the update.zip, reflash and goodluck. Thanks all"
"I think the CM Rom owners need to get some help from their romdev gurus there"
"No that recovery update is for stock rom owners,
this mod is not working for CM6 users"

Yeah, I don't think its working for CM6. Check the first post in that thread, it links to a few pages for cm6 users.

Yeah, I tried the CM6 modified version, and they work pretty well.
Unfortunately, they are not up-to-date with the screenshots ( older version)
I cannot believe that someone here is not intersted by porting this theme to CM6 to our Desire...
Would be awesome

The complete theme looks sweet (not only the contacts.apk) ! Might try porting it soon, but hoping someone will do it sooner

i managed to get it working by doing a quick and fugly port of it.
Can post the files once i get back home from work.
didnt bother with the framework though since i didnt like it very much.
got it to work on kalis CM6 rc1 port.
if ya want the framework files lemme know

Sense apk app

any one know where i can get the sense launcher i know their is a download file on here somewhere just can find it

what do you want it for? if you want it on an aosp rom, chances are its not gonna work. though I havent tried in a while and I may be wrong but htc sense launcher is tied in with a lot of things that would be missing.

HTC lockscreen

I just rooted my phone and installed fresh rom. LOVING IT BY THE WAY. I installed titanium backup and backed.up the lock screen apk before deleting it to get the standard android lock but I can't seem to find out how to reinstall it should I just re flash the rom to get it back? Oh and I did do a nandroid backup before I deleted it thanks in advance

If you did a nand backup, then just restore it.

Thanks man I really appreciate it. But I've got another question non related about Roms can anybody recommend a good stock rom that still has hdmi and 4g I liked cm6 but it is clearly lacking these features

For a great stock based ROM, I recommend Ava's z1 or MikFroyo. If you don't want much Sense in your phone, go with VaelPak 3.0 for sure. It rocks and runs with less of HTC's bloat than any other ROM I have ran.
Also, in the future, if you want to delete apk's from the system for whatever reason, just rename them with a file explorer like Root Explorer. Just navigate to /system/app and locate the apk, like htclockscreen.apk and rename it to something like htclockscreen.apk.old. That will make it disappear until you decide you want it back, then you can just rename it back, and you're good to go. That will work with just about any app you don't want around any more. Plus it has the benefit of being easily reversible if there are problems associated with it's removal.

Thank man life saver!

Droid X - Default

OK guys first off: This is my first android device, and I want it to be as fast as possible.
This being said, I just want either a DEFAULT Froyo 2.2 or default gingerbread 2.3 which means none of these stupid themes that motorola puts on it. Now here is why I'm here:
Is there a way without having to go through like 20 different steps in order to get the default android skin on my phone? I've jailbroken many a iphone but this android stuff is very new to me, so I was also wondering if there is an IRC channel I can go to or if someone would be nice enough to either guide me through or pm me through how to root my new phone?
thanks,
mike

I have been reading the stickies, I've also been reading about the roms and themes but there is some lingo in those posts as well as concerns.
For instance for the themes I've read several posts where it says to just load the themes on a rooted device, and yet others like the wiki here which says that specific themes are for specific ROMS.
Another problem with the stickies is I have no clue when someone last updated them, because some like the one for "Easy Root" or "z4root" MUST be old cause you can not find that app on the android Market place.
I just want to make sure that I'm getting the latest programs and such. I also wrote this because the one thing that me as well as a lot of other people want which is: Default Froyo. I dont want a custom theme, I want stock Froyo in all it's glory! Can anyone tell me of an easy to install ROM or easy to install theme that has this??
P.S. If there is an IRC channel for XDA could someone tell me about it? Cause I cant seem to find it at all

I have read most of that, and I get the first post, but then you seem to completely back track on the second one. I want the default Android skin from google on my droidx, so When you first said root I understood; but then you all of a sudden said that I need to deodex it as well.
This is the confusing part since you say in your post that it already included the root as well. So which should I do? root > bootstrapper > deodex? or just deodex then bootstrapper?

You have to be rooted, then flash the deodexed stock rom in recovery mode (hence the boot strapper). From there you can theme to your hearts content and even change the font if you wish.

Just because an app isn't on the market doesn't mean that it's old and no longer useful. And there are a million guides on how to do this. Just find a recent one and go for it

Alright I've done some more reading on different sites like engagdet and there seems to be a legal program called "LauncherPro" Apparently you can reskin with this program, Has anybody used this program? and if so how good / bad is it for removing blur?
My main concern is rooting my phone as well as getting rid of BLUR cause I believe that will slow it down considerably. thanks!

Unfortunately, launcherpro doesn't remove or replace blur, nor does it change things like the notification bar or lockscreen. Its a launcher app, meaning that it runs over blur, replaces the homescreens and launcher buttons. It's great for what it does but for your purposes won't work.
Honestly, I think the best route for you would be to take the time to root and flash a blurless rom like liberty or fission.

flyingpenguin is right.
Liberty is Blurless and you an install a Gingerbread theme on it straight from it's Liberty Toolbox app!
Check out my set up... I have Liberty 1.5 with the Gingerbread Blue theme and ADW Launcher EX.

What about the themes we were talking about earlier? Are those only available AFTER you flash to a ROM? Or are those just available after the deodexing? If so wouldn't that be the best and easiest way to get the stock froyo theme on my phone? or is that like launcherpro in that it just launches the theme over blur?
Also, I've seen your attachments and to be honest I don't like the look of it one bit, I just want a rom with stock froyo or even better stock Gingerbread.
Is there a rom out there with either of those stock? I should be getting my new droid x in the mail by next monday, at which time I'll probably be asking for more help, since I don't want my phone to brick the first day of use lol.

I used the z4 root on my dx. It took a couple of tries but it worked. I went with liberty 1.5 as my first custom rom and I love it. There are plenty of plain roms out there you can try. I just wanted something with a little more umph. Good luck!

well does liberty 1.5 come with the stock froyo skin? or is there a Gingerbread rom already out for the DX?

Liberty comes with a froyo-ish skin. There isn't a GB ROM out for the X yet, but droid2169 (same dev who does Rubix) is working on getting GB to boot on the Dx. He's getting close on it, but there are still some bugs to be worked out. Had some issues with USB mounting last time I checked with him.

The closest you are going to get to vanilla android is either focused or fission

What is this Vanilla thing you are talking about? Is that the name of a ROM that has default froyo / gingerbread them on it?
Also, I don't know if someone already answered this, but the themse people were talking about before: Are they available right after deodexing? Or do I Nhave to install a specific rom THEN theme my phone?

Vanilla means original android experience or as close to it as the kernel allows. That's how I understand it.
Sent from my Droid X running Liberty 1.5 custom using xda premium app

oohh ok

If you want to theme the stock rom you have to deodex your phone and then load theme... if you want to theme a rom you need to load the rom (which are already deodexed) then load the theme.... themes are rom specific ie an apex rom is meant for apex and a liberty theme is meant for liberty... there's guides all over the internet for any method you choose

Ok, so is there a stock froyo theme for a deodexed stock droid x? If so is there a guide you could show me to do this please??

is there a way to remove sense from the sense roms?

I'm using Synergy ROM non-god, but I dont use sense. Is there a way to remove it?
Is there another rom based on the sprint gingerbread release that does not have sense?

You mean you want to remove the sense launcher? I don't believe its possible since everything ties together. It doesn't take up ram tho
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

What I do when I want a Senseless ROM, I sign into Google account, download a LauncherPro and Root Explorer. I go into system/apps, delete Sense stuff there. Navigate to data/data, delete the entire data/data folder and reboot. It deletes all of the app data and all of the Sense stuff I deleted is now gone, no force closes or anything because I deleted the data/data folder. Then I go to data/apps and delete stuff i don't need. Delete data/data folder, reboot. Go to Settings-Manage Applications-files deleted in data/apps will be blacked out. Click on it and uninstall there. Delete data/data again, reboot.
Total overkill, but it always works for me. No Force Closes or crashes or things not working.

The easiest way is to change launchers. Pick one: ADW Launcher, Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, etc.
Download from market, press home key, change to new launcher.
This won't remove anything, but changes from the Sense Rosie launcher and all of it's widgets to a different launcher.
Otherwise, your other options are using an AOSP ROM or finding a "senseless" ROM in development section. Senseless ROMs are basically (I'm way over simplifying) a ROM without the Rosie launcher and another launcher added in its place.

The only way to get a senseless rom is to.flash an AOSP rom. Otherwise sense will always be in he background as its part of the framework.

If you like the pure google experience like the nexus S I suggest OMGB or OMFGB. That was the first rom I flashed when I rooted my EVO. The problem is I got so used to the way sense ties all of my social stuff together. If I coule run stock/pure gingerbread with sense nuances like the social linking I would be so happy.

flash the synergy roms located in this thread ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092221
Sense is removed and either go launcher or launcher pro has been installed.
There are a few other ROMS in there too, and a few more added in the latter posts in that thread. (mikG2.45 for instance)
I would suggest using (or at least trying) Caulkulin's rom out, its pretty speedy, and pair it up with the most recent freedom kernel.

I'm looking to upgrade my sense to 3.0 without having to flash, but I suspect thats a no go.

Correct you must flash a new rom for that. You can't just flash an upgraded sense.

Google Vaelpak, best GB AOSP rom bar one! Has a host of tweakable settings, like built in undervolting settings, setcpu, not the app but actual kernal settings, etc!

True, true. It isn't "Senseless" in the purest of senses. But it gets rid of a lot of battery draw and stupid apks that I don't want or need. And wiping data/data prevents a lot of force closes and dead ends, so it keeps it stable. I just like using a Sense-based ROM because of how freaking stable it is. I always switch from AOSP back to Sense...
