Just a thought here....I've spent a bunch of time on this theme, between searching the vast interwebs for applications that work, to editing files, to theming apps and testing them, at least 60 hours of my life have been put into this project. I don't take donations or anything, so could you guys help spread the word to all of your friends so i don't feel like I did all of this for just a few people? Or at least hit the thank you button every now and then. I would appreciate that.
Alrighty fellas, I've compiled a theme together for pretty much any android device capable of running CM7, but since I created it on my Optimus V, I'll post it here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE FILES USED IN THIS THEME, I SIMPLY COMBINED WHAT WAS AVAILABLE TO ME. Furthermore, a few of these apps are paid apps, and I cannot suppply those to you.
I'd like to give a big ol' thank you to AOSP for creating such a great base ROM to work with, nhnt11 for creating the themed menus and status bar, and the devs of all of the apps used in this project.
What is themed:
-Status Bar
-Notification Drawer
-The entire Launcher
-App Drawer
-Menus (including highlighted text)
-Widgets (Only "LP Sense UI widgets" "Toggles" and "Search" are themed)
-Keyboard
-Lockscreen
-Clock
-In-App Titles
-Boot Animation
-HTC app: Claculator
-HTC app: Music
-HTC app: Teeter
-Wallpapers / backgrounds
-Alarms
-Ringtones
-Icons
-Fonts
HOW TO FIX "ERROR INVALID_KEY" WITH FACEBOOK WIDGET
In order to get functionality from the Facebook widget back, as per THIS, you will need to uninstall the facebook app from your phone, then uninstall and reinstall LP sense ui app. From there, when you enter your credentials in the widget settings, it should work. After it is done synching and whatnot, you may reinstall Facebook app. It *should* work.
Step One
You are going to need to install a CM7 ROM with the Theme Chooser application if you want the status bar / menu themes to work. At this point, I'd like to give you this warning:
IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF YOU EFF UP YOUR PHONE, YOU ARE DOING THIS OF YOUR OWN ACCORD
#Step 1a (Skip if not rooted)
In order to install the fonts that I've included, you will need root access. There are two ways to install them: one through ADB, the other through a
market app, Type Fresh (included in the "app" folder) I feel it necessary to link to the original page for instructions. Here is the URL:
http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2009/04/25/how-to-change-fonts-in-android/
Step Two
After installing the ROM, you will need to download NTSense, provided by nhnt11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970459
Just follow the instructions on the link provided.
Step Three
Now you will need to install LP Sense UI, provided at the bottom of this thread. THIS IS NOT THE PAID VERSION, IT IS THE REGULAR FREE VERSION, HOWEVER WIDGETS DO WORK.
You will need to set it up properly for it to work. Do the following:
From Homescreen:
Menu>Preferences>Sense Mod Configuration
Set Number of docks to "1"
Dock Background>Standard (be sure to press it, even though it is selected, or else it wont work properly)
Home button on app drawer "on"
Enable auto Rotation "off"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That should be it for the launcher. You can set other things how you like, I usually use "Rotate 2" as my transition, it looks great with the theme
Menu>Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Transition Effect> "Rotate 2"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Four
You will need to purchase "WidgetLocker" from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
It is $1.99 USD, but it is worth it, it is helpful for many other themes and is great as a lockscreen in general.
be sure to open WidgetLocker from the app drawer to open it in edit or "Tool" mode.
FROM "TOOL MODE:"
Menu>Settings>Enable WidgetLocker
(Skip this if you don't have root) Menu>Settings>Advanced>Root Helper>Check All Boxes, set Autoswipe Pin/Password to "Auto"
Menu>Settings>Advanced>Check "Hide Notification Icon" and "Hide Interaction Warning"
Configure the rest how you prefer.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
While you are in tool mode, long press every app, slider and widget and drag it to the trash bin at the bottom of the screen. Then do this:
Menu>Add>Custom Slider
Select "Sense" from the box directly underneath the picture of the slider.
Save.
You will need to long press the slider and drag it all the way to the bottom of the screen, being careful not to put it in the trash bin (or else you'd have to make a new slider )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Five
Install any of the clocks in from the included "clocks" folder found under "apps"
Should you install the flipclock app, be warned:
NOTE: THIS CLOCK HAS NO FLIPPING ANIMATION. HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE ONE THAT DOES FLIP IN THE FUTURE, BUT NO GUARANTEES. I WOULD NEED A LOT OF HELP.
Step Six
In order to get the toggle widgets, such as wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, silence, etc. you need to Purchase Beautiful Widgets from the Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets&feature=search_result
I have included a brightness control and battery indicator themed to look Sense-esque. They are at the bottom of the Post.
FOR THE BATTERY INDICATOR:
1. Apply Widget to Homescreen
2. Tap on it
3. Select the "Preferences" tab in the top right corner.
4. Check every single box, especially Swap Low/High res. You can select the temperature unit of your choice.

You would head to the NTSense page and click on the link to download older versions and then get the Gingerbar theme. But since I'm nice, here is the direct link:

You can't fix the FB widget...!!! If you want that then you'll have to purchase from LP Sense UI's blog or use an old "ahem" russian version where everything is in english... but certain parts are in russian... certain button language.
EDIT: AM NOT BEING A D1CK! I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING. I MOD MY PHONE MORE THAN YOU EVER ATE FOOD OR FARTED!

Sigh... chill out people. Just use web browser mobile version of FB for this social crap. (The whole FB is junk anyway.)

Yeah, not a D1CK at all... just cause you think you're perfect, you don't have to go around and call someone else's work a complete price of crap. There's no point. And this theme is visually appealing, which is the major role of a theme. It just has some bugs that need worked out.
Oh, and if you're so great, why don't you make a cm7 sense theme that looks an acts identical to the real thing, including all the icons, app drawer, and Widgets. You should be able to get that done in a couple hours right?

Woah chill out people. I dont want a flame war here. I didn't make any of this, its just compiled together from what's available. If you want something fixed take it up with the original Dev.

Hey, I'm sorry you feel this way, but I've posted a fix in the OP. It is not a true "fix" but more of a compromise. I would appreciate it if you would please stop posted offensive comments.
Hope it helped.

how to change the default icon in an icons pack?

hi guys,
i have a question about an icons pack, when i use it with my launcher, everything work normally but some icons, i don't like them and if i open the icons pack app i find that there are other icons for example icon for "Phone" app there is 8 different designs and settings app has 6 other designs ...ect. but how to change the default one by the other in the icons pack app ?
i hope you understand my question.

With Nova prime hold and drag any app too edit on the top of the screen. Then in that box that pops up just selecting the icon picture will bring you to the icon pack selection. Then from in there the individual icon you want. I'm sure most launchers work in a similar manner. Just look up your launcher on google or youtube and how to change individual icons will get you a tutorial.

What do you think ?

Enable developer options and can change the icon shapes.

I figured that just want to throw it out there just in case you where. Yeah that's not possible with a stock launcher as I mentioned before if you can invest in Nova launcher Prime. You can virtually do everything you've ever wanted to do. It's even easy to replicate pixel launchers if you want. And as mentioned in my previous post change each apps icons to whatev

android pie gestures are pointless

Can someone explain the point of gestures control in android pie? I thought the point of it was to take up less space on the screen, but the pill never fades when scrolling so you have the exact same amount of space on the screen as when you didn't have swipe up on home enabled. The whole thing seems a bit pointless to me. It would make more sense if when scrolling through a website the pill would disappear and reappear if you swipped up

True

I'm what would be considered a Google Fan Boy. But you're 100% correct about this.

I had PP with BB10 OS there was excellent swype control

The only "advantage" over regular button navigation is you can swipe directly to the app drawer from any app. Other than that, yeah it doesn't add much but I still use it.

It is beyond stupid. And super ugly too. Home "Pill" in the middle, back button on the left, recents now added to the pill and nothing on the right...
Hey look guys, we got rid of one out of 3 buttons! Game changer!

Not without root.

You can change without root

Absolutely correct op. I don't get the gestures. I hate how the opening of the app draw is implemented. Big swing and a miss.

absolutely agree with you. saddens me to say that apple has implemented gestures much better.

Personally I don't mind it but the most useful thing I found was being able to switch between apps that are in the background easily. For those who haven't discovered it you swipe right from the pill. I hope they add more functionality to it.

I use 'OnePlus Gestures'. It does cost £1.99, but I find it an almost flawless execution of what gestures on Android should be particularly when used with 'Hide Nav Bar'.
The Google implementation of gestures is just bizarre!

I'm rooted. How can i move it?

No root needed to swap back key to the other side.
adb shell
settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"

I am also using nova launcher and custom Navigation bar app so I have it set for the pill to disappear after a couple of seconds. Swipe up on bottom to make it come up.

To understand what they are doing and why they are doing it the way they are, you first have to understand one thing:
Google likes the navbar. They have no intention of ever getting rid of it. (They have mentioned this in their blog.)
So with that in mind...
What they are doing is adding functionality on top of the navbar. Instead of back-home-recents, you now have back and a pill. The pill doubles (quadruples?) as a recents button, as an app-drawer launcher, as a switch-to-last app button, and a scroll-through recents button (All of these things can be done with one touch, from any screen.)
The aren't getting rid of the navbar, they are not trying to free up screen realestate; they are trying to make the existing navbar that they love more functional
Love it, or hate it; I hope this helps someone better understand the reasoning behind the direction they are going.

I just upgraded to Pie (Full Image dirty install) and my Nav still has back/home/recents. Do I have to flip a switch or something to try out the new version? Also, related question, how do I do split-screen with Pie?

The ultimate OP launcher I dream about...

Hi, I was wondering for a while if there is any launcher setup, magisk module or anything that can do the following:
- stock OP launcher, settings, folders, transitions and everything
- google news on the left
- google search bar below the icons
I tried all third party launcher on the market (including cpl, rootless, hyperion and so on), I used nova on every previous devices and it was my initial setup on this one too, and I always experiment because I want my google news instead of shelf and sometimes I need that bar on that place, but those small hints stock OP can offer are missing from all the others so I always keep going back... and after a while starting to experiment again...
As you guess, this is not a t-mobile OP and I'm not in the US, I have A6013 running oos beta 9.
Any idea is appreciated.

Like the phone so far but ..... need help with a hidden menu

Hi,
In every other android based phone I've owned I've always had an option to hide apps I don't use allot so you just drag an app up to the top and there are usually two options: Uninstall and Remove which places it in a vault for safe keeping. This doesn't seep to be present on this phone and I HATE cluttered desktops so I'm a bit bummed about this so I thought I'd reach out and see if I'm not figuring this out.
I am now aware of the right swipe that brings me to some other settings but there is no app vault there for hiding apps I don't use.
Also is there a way to uninstall allot of the bloat ware this phone came with? I use Google apps for most of my needs and Opera as my main browser so having these other apps on board isn't much to my liking and again without a vault of some kind to take them off of hte desktop...... no fun!
I do know about the combining apps into "folders" and renaming them but I'd just like the apps GONE that I don't and never will use.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

You could just download another launcher with the option to vault apps and about the bloatware you can follow this tutorial right here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/how-to/remove-redmi-note-7-bloatware-root-t3925049

Can you recommend a launcher that's stable and good? I've tried a few on my tablets but ended up going back to the default as they were mostly unstable... I'm sure it's going to be different on a phone but it was a bit disheartening to try about 4 launchers on my Lenovo tablet and just didn't like them at all.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Nova Launcher is pretty good

Give a try to poco launcher.
Very stable.

I use Evie Launcher, lightweight amd simple to use

You can try CPL (Customized Pixel Launcher) from playstore. I guess CPL is the best in term of stability, optimizations and LOTs of customization, you wont find in any launcher IMO

No need for Nova launcher or Poco ,new system launcher alfa version ,have new options , swipe up to app drawer..

Hmmm, but if there is an App Drawer in a newer version of the launcher that ships with this phone I wasn't aware of that but the main thing for me, besides the drawer or vault or what ever it's called (too many strange labels to understand what I'm trying to say ) I really need that bit when I'm dragging up to allow me to remove the app from the desktop. In the default there is that weird option that seems to replace the "remove" option.... called "Dual apps" which I have NO IDEA what that's all about and really don't care.
I'm using Poco and it's nice enough. I love the dark theme option but one thing I am missing is when one gets new phone calls or texts the icons in the lower bar area usually changes to indicate how many there are waiting. With the Poco set up there doesn't seem to be any indicators like that... or perhaps it's because I changed the icon set out?? Not sure what's caused that to stop working.... Weird.
Thanks for all the suggestions good people!
