Dependencies/Structure of Sense ui?

1) I want to know, what parts of sense are device specific?
2) Is a new kernel needed to port it?
3) What dependencies does rosie.apk have?
4) To anyone that has ported it, what was the general process?
On samsung i5700 btw
Thanks

i too would like more info. There has to be a better way than the way of just trial and error. for the windows mobile of Sense, a couple of devs developed a SDK to actually program sense based roms and not just hack
would be interesting to see something like this come to android

#1 You dont see SenseUI on non HTC devices because drivers just dont match up. Its difficult to port from one htc phone to another, imagine porting from HTC to Motorola (although it is being worked on)
#2 I have used non sense kernels for Sense ROMS and there are some overclock kernels that are universal for all ROMS (for a specific device). Im not sure about all kernels.
#3 WOW this is a big one. The list is too long to describe haha. The Sense UI runs deep down from the framework to system files and you wont be able to simply drag a few files over to a NON sense ROM and make it run. The reason you don't see sense widgets floating around on non sense ROMS is because they reference back to other system files and images in the framework. Ok so SOME sense apps like the keyboard can be ported over because all dependencies and files run within the application so thats ok. I know the widgets are a no go for the most part.
#4 Cant help you on that one. Never ported one completely but Ive modified already ported sense ROMS.

I don't know about Sence, but my Liquid has a lot of changes in system libs and frameworks. But from the visual side of things - it is stock Android. So Sense should be even more intrusive.
Nothing is impossible - just take dissassmbler, debugger and plenty of time to accompany you.

Theme Control Files?

[EDIT:] Could a mod move this to the Themes/Apps forum? Thanks
Hi, so I just rooted my 2.1v3 leak eris and have been looking at themes. I downloaded Metamorph from the market to try and apply my themes. However, Metamorph has not been able to find a Theme Control File in either of them.. I was wondering if people have this problem as well?
These are the themes I've been trying:

Thanks for the help! I'm still new to the rooting scene, though I've tried all the roms I can get my hands on!

MM uses 2 diff types of files. THM, which is the old way and many people still use this, and XML, which is the new way and better way. You can always convert the THM to XML, but will require you to rezip the file. There is a converter in the Hero section by the creator. Cant rem link. Not home, but just search it and you shall find.

Thanks, I was able to install the zip from my sd card in clockwork mod recovery

[REQ]shubCRAFT build + Htc Sense

is there way to make this happend
so we could remove from the update file apks we dont want
thx
old topic
Code:
shubCRAFT build + Htc Sense possible ?
if i take the apks of htc sense and put them in
htc update file in shubcraft its will install the htc ?
and remove the LauncherPro

nope, it isnt possible, sense is much more than just a launcher it has lots of modified frameworks too

I'm sure you can find a theme that looks similar to sense if thats all your after.

Maybe similar but it is not the original.

the htc dialer would be great if theres anyway to bring it in.

A cat is fine too...

Whats wrong with the builds that natively run sense? What is the benefit to sense on top of shubcraft. The entire idea of shubcraft is to be an alternative to sense via the cyanogen mod.

shubchraft! was made for those who don't like HTC Sense and Original android stock! I also like HTC Sense and I am using Darkstone latest with HTC sense and it works great!

You guys don't get it, huh?
Most builds, except shubcraft, come with the system in an ext2 image that needs to be mounted in linux in order to make changes to the system. shubcraft, which uses zegobit's superb initrd, has the ability to use an OTA-like update.zip that requires no signature and is used to create the system image.
What OP is asking for is for a sense build built around this rootfs.
It's possible/doable. I'm still very much a linux newbie and I don't understand the boot process too well. I do know that as it is right now, the init.rc in the rootfs only sets the jar classpath for the stock android and misses some jars actually needed to get sense builds to boot too.
I figure it could be as easy as taking the initrc from a sense build, commenting out the filesystem mounting procedures (as the init script already takes care of it), and then make an update.zip using, say, matt's sense system (mount it, extract it, and then compress it all into a zip).
Guess I'll give it a shot and then post both the update.zip and rootfs if it works

yes that what i meant
hope u will success

This would be great to have.

[THEME] Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1

Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1
This Theme is ONLY for GOT_2.2.1
This is a screenshots sample of Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1:
For more Screenshots of Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1 take a look HERE.
Before doing anything take a Νandroid Backup just in case...
For installing Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1 you will need G.O.T OpenRecovery v2.0 that you can find HERE.
So download G.O.T OpenRecovery and extract it as it is on your sdcard (you must have on the root of your sdcard a folder named OpenRecovery and a .zip file named update.zip)....
Then download from HERE the Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1 and unzip it to your PC. Take the folder Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1 as it is and put it in the folder /sdcard/OpenRecover/Addons/Themes.
Close your Milestone. Get into GOT OpenRecovery v2.00.
Just to be sure make Wipe cache Partition και Wipe Dalvik-cache.
Then choose Stock G.O.T Feature menu - Theme Menu - Install Theme Menu, (tick [Χ]Τheme Framework, [X]Theme Apps και [X]Theme Fonts) and then choose Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1 and let it finish.
After make again Wipe cache Partition και Wipe Dalvik-cache and Reboot.
Now your Milestone will open with your NEW Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1.....
I have to say that i got some apps from nadlabak's Cyanogen 0.03b such as:
1) Phone.apk και PhoneConfig.apk (it has more options, like vibration when a call is answered etc).
2) Mms.apk (Also more options in messages application).
3) DeskClock.apk (Also more options for clock and alarms).
4) Contacts.apk (Also more options).
Known Issues: On some Milestones you mabe face a problem when you have the Pin of Sim card enabled. So if the phone, after you put the pin of sim card, freezes, you have to go back to the stock GOT 2.2.1 and disable the pin code and then reinstall my Mixed Theme...That problem occures cause of the Phone.apk i use to Mixed Theme, which is from nadlabak's Cyanogen 0.03b, and not the default Phone.apk from GOT 2.2.1.
Kalagas_Mixed_for_GOT_2.2.1 is HERE...
Good Luck... And don't forget I don't have any kind of responsibility if something happens to your Phone...
If you like my work, feel free to buy me a beer...

looks great!! tnx!!

I'm glad you like it...

can you change this theme to Android 2.1?

I think we must look forward and not backward....
So i don't see any reason to change again over 1000 pngs in an 2.1 ROM, as 2.1 ROM is almost belongs to the past...
But thanks for your interesting....

it is very good grazie

I am glad you enjoy my work...

Great work Kalagas! Congratulations! It's very handsome!
I try your theme on 2.2.1 and it works well!
But if I install >CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC1 for Milestone v0.03<
(From google find:
update-0.03-10.10.27-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Milestone-signed.zip)
...and then if I install your theme, it doesn't work!
The Milestone goes on Loop in bootanimation, with the image of the cyanogenmod and not the your image (android theme by kalagas) as before (when the theme worked well)
Can you make the same theme for CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC1 for Milestone v0.03, please??
Thanks in advance!!

patience and I will make it for Cyanogen too...

FROyo mod from luca89 also stuck at bootanimation !

Froyo Mod 2.0.1 and Cronos V1.5.0 were been stuck at the bootanimation.
Has everybody new solutions for this issues?

Wtf dudes...Read first post,second raw,jesus...
Sent from my Milestone

i know i know but since both roms are based on got´s leak this theme is supposed to work on these roms apart from the fact that both kabaldan and luca89 changed the framework thats why were stuck at bootanimation i was only stating a fact that it doenst work on froyomod, and if possible if he could rebuild it for this mod !

I will release this theme for all Froyo ROMs as the developers stop updating so often...
All developers work hard for bringing us the best results, but this is also a problem for me... You must know that I (don't know if it's right or wrong) change every icon in every app when I am themeing. So I don't take for example a themed app from cronos 1.4.0 and put it to cronos 1.5.0. I theme the app from beginning.
So when developers find the best solution for their Roms and stop updating so often then it will be the right time to theme...
So for now enjoy the work made by developers... and be patient as I will continue to follow the method I told above (themeing every app as it is in current version from beginning) just to bring to you the best possible theme results and to avoid any incompatibility from version to version...
Thanks all for your concern, and we will be in touch for sure...

Love it bro.will be installed tomorrow asap

Meanwhile, can you tell us how we can theming our ROM with your icons, or link a Guide as "How To..." etc, please??
In this way, you can find somebody (with more probability) that can study your guide and help you to theming fastly!
Sorry me, maybe this guide is already here on the forum, but I don't see it!

nice。

Hi Kalagas! I have "themed" the google app of 14/11/10 with your .Png files!
And I've themed also the CyanoGenMod 2.2.1 RC4 0.04 22/11/11
And I will cook it in my Nandroid Backup ROM: Xeno CyanoGen Froyo V5 !!!
EDIT:
Xeno CyanoGen Froyo V5 with theme Kalagas Mixed
find it on google with: Xeno CyanoGen Froyo by travis90 Motorola RAZR

I'm glad you made my theme available on an other phone....
Tomorrow I'll register to see it...
I think I will start theming the Cyanogen by nadlabak as I use the 22.11 version and has awesome battery life + all others features. All of us must say a big big thanks to nadlabak who keeps our Milestone alive...

[Request] LG Optimus Rom or Theme with working widgets

Hi!
I have a question...
Is it possible to build a Rom from LG Optimus Speed (2X) System Dump? I love the design. Maybe a theme with all widget and so is also good.
The Problem is that the widgets not working when I install them via Astro File Manager...
System Dump: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931114
I dont know were the topic should be.

Wrong forum, should be in Q&A or Themes/Apps

Could Someone help me? I think an AOSP Rom with these Apk's is enough.

The apps will be designed to work with the framework of the device they come from so it would need re-writing to get it to work with the Desire. It'd take a lot of work

But maybe someone want to do this, because for nexus is a theme with Optimus style and there is a huge interesting.

If nobody is interested to build a Rom, it is possible to build a Theme for a Rom like Oxygen or MIUI? There are many people who are interested in a Theme.
