I've spent a while now making new images and editing xmls in a few widgets that I like to use so that they would match the stock sense settings widgets. I've seen a few themed ones floating around the forums over the years, but while they looked like the sense ones, they never lined up with them on the screen, or had the right text, or matched in landscape mode, and it always annoyed me. So now that I'm done I thought I'd share with you all.
There are three attached:
Lock screen - toggles the lock pattern on and off.
Brightness - Toggles (and displays) your current brightness setting, at any percent from minimum to full, including auto.
Flashlight - turns on and off the camera LED to your preset brightness level with one click.
All I did was create the images and edit various xmls. I want to thank (of course) the original devs: Curvefish for making the lock screen and brightness toggle widgets (available on market), and user f3d0r on xda who made the 'beamwidget' for the desire and got me started thinking about doing my own. Also okolowicz for some help figuring out a decompiling issue.
These are very nice, good work!

I have one request. I've noticed that the flashlight turns off whenever my screen timeout. Can you fix it so that it works even if my screen is off? Or can anyone who is reading this that knows how? Thanks.

This is a theme thread, hence the theme and app forum. You'd have to ask the original dev, or in your case find f3d0r's thread over in the desire development forums and request it there.

I agree. Espresso ui looks better than the Touch Wiz ui, but I guess that's a matter of opinion.

Having trouble with the brightness widget. Keeps showing stock curvefish style. Any help?
No idea. Worked fine for me, two other phones I installed it on, and everyone else. I'll ask my usual question, what ROM are you running?
Using a rooted stock form3.70 EVO Rom (froyo). When I look into the apk, there are still curvefish widget images. Could this be the problem?
Noticed that the original images, icon.png and shortcut.png only show up in the drawable_hdpi folder. Perhaps these weren't changed as the mytouch 3g is a lower res phone than the EVO?
That's exactly it (and why I asked). These are for the espresso (hence the thread title) but would work on other 320x480 devices.
You won't be able just to move the images, as there are layout and text edits too, not to mention the smaller images blown up don't look so good. I do have ones made in hi-res for my vision, but again those wouldn't work well as sprint didn't do/get a true update to 2.2 sense. They left some rosie layouts and options the same as 2.1 and also the settings widgets, as 2.2 removes the 'switches' on the right in favor of a bar at the bottom that lights up when activated. Plus they are done to pay widgets so I havent distributed them. Sorry.
I understand. Is there anyway to get a working one? I'd gladly pay for it. Also, your older version, I got it a while back, works fine. It's the same as the new one except doesn't allow the selection of 'auto'. Since sprints 2.2 is messed up, as you say, could I use the one with a small edit or is it a huge undertaking?

Actually I believe the flashlight one is available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676328 for hdmi devices and with the switch on the right, which should suit your needs! Hope that works for you.

Hello everyone, I am hoping some more developers will try to help out and keep this project alive. Hoping these issues might be figured out by someone.
Issues:
3G and 1X dormant icons are default HTC as well as USB
White clock text
Clear button is dark with black text
Some things worth noting. The stat_sys_data_usb.png icon and the stat_notify_sync_error.png icon are already in /system/framework/framework-res.apk but the weird problem is for some reason these icons are not showing up correctly, and instead they default to HTC. Other icons in framework-res and com.htc.resources are not doing this.

There is a TON of info on editing task bars and other theme elements in the cdma hero section mater of fact a good deal of their stuff works with various eris roms. Some of the roms running over there are legend or eris based now we have ports based off the Sprint roms so theyre themes and various add ons working also (ive tried a few) as far as text and icons I believe it has to do with the .9pngs etc...give it a read and there are a ton of helpful heroc fellas. chubz, vince just to name a few.
Yeah I've been waiting for someone to come up with a fix for the clock font color, but it seems to be fairly difficult to find? Or perhaps other things are being worked on by the limited amount of devs we've got on the Eris.
you forgot me the guy who was trying to finish it, and posted it for all!:d

I'm a super noob at this, but I spent part of the day yesterday trying to fix my title bar with the icons I wanted in the Aloysis ROM. It seemed like the text color and icon image files were referenced by xml files? Have you tried looking there for fixes to your issues?
For the record there is a hero theme the Aloysis 4.1 ROM is based off of which may be configured close to what u want. I wanted to configure mine to look more like yours but I got frustrated and gave up.

I've resized many images for my lockscreen perfectly, but every time I set one, they get horribly decompressed.
Is there a workaround for this?
Attached is what I'm talking about.
Just making sure, is your image 320x455?
And in your screenshot, should we be looking at the artifacting in the background? Or something else? Because it looks like that's present in the whole image, in the lock bar and the notification bar too.. just a result of jpeg compression.

Yes, size 320x455.
I've attached the original for comparison. A lot of the red around the gun is distorted, instead of the smooth quality that it should be.
The problem is, or I think is, the phone compresses images no matter the size for lockscreen wallpapers. When I set the same image to my Home screen background, it appears perfectly fine.
So, would there be a workaround for the lockscreen wallpapers?
Anyone?
(Bump)
Not familiar with this but look for someone named impaler, he is into themeing and such. If he doesn't know he may be able to point you in the right direction.

You might want to try an app called 'CropWallpaper'. I use it for my wallpaper, but you may be able to use it with your lockscreen. I'm on CM6 right now, so I can't check how it will work with sense, sorry.
I think you need to size it for the actual screen size of the Hero. On the home screens it is larger because it has to scroll through several other screens.

No worries, and thanks for the suggestion. Sadly it didn't work. But it's handy for normal wallpapers.

That didn't work out well either. The exact size of the screen is 320x480, 320x455 is when you take into account for the notification bar.
Sadly, there's no current fix for this ( that I've found ), if anyone else reading this thread comes up with something, please post.
Thanks to everyone who has commented thus far and to theimpaler747 for trying very hard to help. I really appreciate it guys.
Hey boys and girls I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get transparency on HTC sense, specifically on the bottom navigation bar.
I've been searching around but the only things I could find were non-htc sense home screen managers alternatives.
That's pretty much the only thing that annoys me about sense (the huge Phone and useless "+" button) but I love the 7 screens and the widgets so I wouldn't replace it with an alternative.
Thanks in advance!
To change the "+" button check out the marvelous jpool's thread here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809356
And to make Rosie transparent you'll have to crack open htc resources framework and edit the images inside, if you want post up your framework and ill edit it for you.

Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
I'll start by saying ive went thru all 80+ pages of the widgetlocker theme thread and didn't see this in there anywhere...unless I accidentally missed it.
I am using widgetlocker obviously and would like to have the rotary lock slider that I have seen in the "rotary revamped" screens from the CM mods. Maybe it already exists and Im just not sure where to get it.
Its similar to the stock android rotary slider included with widgetlocker....but more of a solid silver in the middle parts with black borders on the edges.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
