[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] crunchybutternut:
Edit 4/28: Added 1.1 and new screen shots. (The one with Sense is not new.. didn't want to switch back, so the icons are actually themed.) This removes com.resources.apk and framework-res.apk. Morphing either of these has been causing FCs, so until that is resolved they will not be included in future releases.

Edit 4/26: Finally releasing v1.0. Hope you peeps enjoy!

There still might be some stock imagery sticking around. If you come across anything, let me know and I'll fix it.

Morphing the framework-res.apk can have negative effects (i.e. freeze at boot or force closes). I recommend that you create a Nandroid before using this.

I may create a flashable .zip that will be more thorough in themeing but will not have the flexibility of the .thm.

Been working on porting this Buuf theme to our Hero's in my free time for the past coupon of days.. There is still a lot of tedious work ahead of me, but thought I would go ahead and share to see how much interest there is for a complete theme.

If a lot of peeps show interest I will focus a little more on this rather than some of my other projects.

The goal for me is to have a complete theme where all standard apps/icons/widgets match the look. I was looking into Morphing Market apps, but due to signing, it is impossible ATM to change any images within an .APK without causing it to fail checks and consequently disappear from the phone.

The ROM I am currently running is Fresh 2.0d, so it is tested and working properly with that ROM. I have not attempted it on anything else.

I also use the Helix launcher, so it was my main focus I am now working on completing the Sense portion of the ROM. (Widgets as well ) :)

Hopefully you guys like where this is headed.

If you have requests for which parts I should finish sooner, let me know!

PS: The pics are not from the latest version, just haven't taken screenies since updating yesterday.
