Correct, the last pic in the link was actually the original surface.

Thanks to all those in support. It is really great to feel like I can hold my phone now without it slipping out of my hands. As we all know, with heavy use, these devices as well as our hands can get warm creating a dangerous situation....

I was hesitant to wet sand the cover of my brand new phone but the process was very easy and took 20min or so. I knew that replacements will be available soon if I where to screw up.

Side note - Energy ROM photon Date 10/17 is insane.... Very fast, animated weather on home, and did I say it is fast and stable!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] linker3000:
Wow, that was a neat job. Well done!

Have to say I'd probably mess up a job like that but I do agree these phones get quite slippery.

There's a few third party backs and shells appearing on ebay now for people like me who want to avoid a DIY disaster with the original!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] amurch:
I have looked and do not see any. I would like to have a spare case to have on hand and make more mods. You have any links to listings? ( Ebay US or UK?, Didn't see any in US)

Read this post on signing and building update.zip files, You must have the sdk installed and running to start with!

The key is to treat apk and update.zip files as zip files which can be chopped and changed as much as you want from within winrar. The hard part is getting the signing to work ;) however I found this post very useful http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467639

the 3 main files to skin are ....

com.htc.resources.apk - HTC stuff

framework-res.apk - Basic android stuff

rosie.apk - HTC sense stuff

just try taking one of my theme zip's apart and have a play, if cannot get it signed send it me and I'll do it for you ;)

am using the CDMA sprint hero since i noticed nobody has it..for me to get into "Recovery mode" i had topress volume down ,trackball, and the power...but nobody said anything here i had to search on good lol :p

ok now i get into the recovery mood or boot mode whatever its called and i cant do anything and if i press on recovery i go to a screen that has an exclamation mark inside of a triangle and a phone...and i have only soft reset...I Just want a theme why is it so hard :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] soulonfirexx:
I do not think CDMA Heros have achieved root status yet, so you'll have to wait until then. And the recovery mode that they are talking about is a custom downloaded one for root users. Sorry, man =T.

Anyway, thank you for this theme! I will definitely be putting this on my phone. Wiping and installing 2.8 right now!

Hey Guys - I use the clearlockonly patch, after reinstalling after installing the new MCR 2.9, it makes my phone reboot when pressing down the endcall/power button. Rolled back for now.

Not sure if it will cause issues with the other themes but I expect it could well do.

Any chance of an update on this when you get a chance ratcom? I flippin loved that lock screen!

Hi Ratcom, firstly, I'd like to congtatulate you on a wonderful piece of work. Not only does my Hero perform a million times better with the new ROM, thanks to you it now looks a million times better. To set it all off, I was hoping if you would also make the top and bottom bars tranparent? I'm confident that you'll address this in your own time, in the mean time I'll just hold tight.

Thanks again. :):)Peace

I continue to have trouble making a custom theme...

Now, I tried your theme and I have no problem doing update.zip (ClearEverything29.zip); but trying instead to replace your modified programs in my rom (I use modaco personalized), when I flash my new rom with your modified programs, the system goes in loop (HTC logo)...

I tried to modify some programs in "system/app" and I don't have problems (I use Autosign by Stericson), but when I try to modify "framework-res.apk" and "com.htc.resources.apk" the system goes in loop...

Can you tell me where am I wrong?

My Rom/theme...work in progress.

The base of my rom is the Modaco 2.8, with Teknologist Kernel (1.8 modified to 144 Mb CompCache) and other personalized tweaks.

In this work there isn't Rosie and related widget but default Launcher (modifed).

I have some personalized widgets:

Snowstorm, sidecalbar, Pure Grid calendar, etc...

The characteristic of this ROM is to have all HTC programs, but does not use Rosie saving about 20 Mb of RAM.

In this screen you can see my personalized widget and android animation.

...but I cannot finish my work because of "framework-res.apk" and "com.htc.resources.apk"...:rolleyes:

If somebody from italy over here could post the proper links of the roms .

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] djmace:
Here are 2 of the links from the site, i think there may be some others but as i have no idea what they say as i dont know any italian (joining the site was a fun process) and couldnt get google translate to translate the page, these are the only 2 links i grabbed.

http://www.4shared.com/file/138036568/427f3584/_mascianHero_Full_.html

Currently downloading them now, soon as they are downloaded il delve in and have a look whats there. from the screenshots posted, one of the roms has a nice metal looking rosie, think that was the second link. The 1st link being the light rom mentioned above i believe, which should have the nice looking battery.

Had a dig around both files but cant sem to find the battery shown the the screenshots above, but then again im not quite sure where im meant to be looking, if anyone with better knowledge than me cares to take a look and find it.
