I have a Thunderbolt and know to use the 2.0 skins. I was able to get the updated Sense3 to show up and install. I am not sure why it was not showing up but I just did a data wipe when I updated to a new ROM and when I reinstalled Sense3 it worked.

Also I am sorry you took my comment as "complaining". That was not my intention. I have been using your skins since the day I got my Thunderbolt and have learned much from them and you.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] AgoeZ:
Hi, thx for Sense 3 skins. Its looking great on my HD2 using imilka's Incredible S rom v1.1 :)

But I have question regarding this awesome skins:

Why my battery icons on taskbar didn't display number of battery stats? Do I have to install another framework?

Coz I'm sure on the preview, this skins has battery stats number.

Or do I have to restart my phone after applying it? Thx b4! :D

Hello all, how can I install a skin on my htc hd2 ( rom coredroid 1.6 based on DHD stock rom) without using Htc skin picker (i accidentally uninstall it...) ?

thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] AgoeZ:
Anyone, please???
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:
Skins unfortunately don't change statusbar icons:/ Yes, you have to install other framework.

Open .zip with your downloaded CoreDroid rom and in folder system/app find HTCSkinPicker.apk. Copy it from that .zip, push it with adb or other way to your system/app folder on phone, restart and you should have back Skin Picker. You can't apply skin without Skin Picker unfortunately.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Kastro1784:
Does anybody have the original sense3 file ? Because the updated version with the transparent status bar graphic problems because of MCCM 4.5 dhd Rom is not working right?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] rabdouladekaboul:
Thanks for your answers but i try this and unfortunately it doesn't work :(

I have also try to install directly the skinpicker app but, because it's a system app, he say me ''app not installed''. I also try your solution but i copy skinpicker.apk and skinpicker.odex then restart. It doesn't work again :(
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:
Update.

New skin added: BlueSky. Download in my post #7.

I would just like to thank all the devs for the excellent skins that work on my TBolt. This is my first try at an HTC Android phone, coming strictly from MOTO. The fact that root is not needed is a definite plus. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work!!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] crg31953:
I believe if you were to go to the beginning of this thread and checked faq. You would find that there is another thread with these skins for 2.1.

Froyo statusbar for sense 2.0

On the first page of this thread there are screenshots of status bars. I have had my thunderbolt for a while but I miss some of the look of my d1 and I was wondering if someone can shoot me a zip file for the froyo status bar skin. There are zips for other status bars there but not the froyo status bar. Thanks!

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:
It is important what version of Sense you have: 2.0 or 2.1. It would be nice if you post a link to your rom thread and not just name of it. I'm too lazy to search for your rom;P

Hey I love these themes, they're working on my incredible 2, my only question is the battery percentage icons aren't working. Am I doing something wrong? I'm unrooted only because theres no root four this bad boy yet. I just installed from sd card through file manager and selected through the skin place under personalize. I tried a skin with battery percentage on the right side of status bar and left. Any ideas?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:
Skins are not changing statusbar icons. This is done by modifications of other system files.

Hey would anyone mind either posting or PMing the .apk file for the Metal skin? I've looked for a while and couldn't find anything. I'm on the Dinc2 so I think it's Sense 2.0. Someone requested it above.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] bfok:
Hi sopL87, may I know where to download Froyo framework? I need it for my HD2 Android ROM. Many Many Thanks.. very exciting now!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:
Well If you have Froyo rom then go to 'system/framework' folder with Root Explorer and copy 'framework-res.apk' from there. Or you could extract this file from your rom's flashable .zip.

Here is Metal.apk skin from Desire HD Sense 2.0 rom. It probably will not install, so you should push it to 'system/app' folder.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] bfok:
Hi sopL87, I do not have any Froyo rom nor flashable .zip. Please could you post the framework zip file or send me email bfok@yahoo.com? Many Thanks

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] raider34672:
Little help please

I am attempting to create a new pink skin from the Purple Passion skin that you can get from the HTC Hub. I have been following the directions outlined in post #3 of this thread. This is my first try at this, and everything looks pretty good, except for one thing. If I make changes to the the .9.png files, then I get a force close when opening Settings (from the menu or app drawer). I have tried modifying the .9.png files in 2 different ways:

1) modify them in Photoshop and then open and save them with the draw9patch tool.

2) modify them in Photoshop without resaving them with draw9patch.

Either way I do it, they look good when I apply the skin, but Settings will force close. If I do not include the .9.pngs in the final apk, then Settings works fine. I have read through several pages of this thread and could not find any instructions on editing the .9.png files. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

*Update* It seems to be the activity_title_bar.9.png file in res/drawable-hdpi.

*Update 2* It seems you must edit the .9.png files after they have been decompiled in step 3 section III. When they are recompiled in step 6, you are done with the .9.png files. Do not replace them in step 8.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Akliman:

Just wanted to give an Big Thank you to SopL87. Your work is awesome and i really like the skins. They give my Thunderbolt some additional Style.

Keep up the great job
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] 1sludge1:
Thanks

Also want to say thanks to sopL87. New TB owner, actually picked up TB's for both myself and the wife while the unlimited data plan is still offered. So far, a lot of fun. Downloading and installing the skins went smoothly, just had to rename some of them due to the "bin" extension issue. Thanks again.

the Framework works, but as they are based on the Desire HD, the desire Z menu font becomes small. (it's a minor issue).

Hello! thank you very much for the skins.

But I did not install correctly and appear in customization / skins ...

What am I doing wrong?

I have a Htc Inspire 4g.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] clouds5:
mhm after

6. Now if you edited .xml's in the way you want, you must compile .apk of skin. In command line write: "apktool b -f C:/Users/"your name"/Slate "your name of skin without spacebar".apk" [for example: apktool b -f C:/Users/****/Slate Dick_Slate.apk].

comes: "Could not find sources" then "Building resources..." then some wall of text.

But no file is being built :( what am i doing wrong?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:
It could be caused by wrong framework used by apktool to build skin. Did you gave tags to frameworks that you installed? Tags are given to differentiate frameworks from diffrent devices. Did you used tag to use specific framework in process of builing skin? Check Help function of Apktool, everything there is explained how to install framework with tag and then build .apk with tagged framework.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] clouds5:
Issue was resolved i used some wrong files :)

Got my skin working (other thread) but then i found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876464

Finally remapping this stupid customize button! I'm not quite sure yet but i think for this mod we'd have to edit Rosie.apk? Or can this be done just by using a skin? I know we can change the icons with the skin.apk but what about what app it launches?

Do you have any idea how to do that or in which direction i should look?

Hey, these skins are awesome. I'm new to the site. Wanted to let you know that the Galaxasense skin messes up your custom folders on stock Thunderbolt. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but it messes up the top border of a custom folder that you have placed on your homescreen.

Must just be a thunderbolt issue cause its fine on the INspire all folders look normal.

II. Installation of Apktool:

1. Unpack: "apktool-install-windows-2.2_r01-3.tar.bz2" and "apktool1.3.2.tar.bz2" to "C:/Windows" directory.

2. Pull from your Desire HD: framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. They are in "root/system/framework" directory. Save them on your PC.

3. Place com.htc.resources.apk in "C:/Users/'your name'/" directory.

4. Open terminal/command line [Start->Run->type "cmd"->press <enter>] and type "apktool", press <enter>. Then you should see usage help.

5. Write: "apktool if com.htc.resources.apk DesireHD" [There should be created directory "C:/Users/"your name"/apktool/framework" and 2 apk files in it].

Hi, this is from the original post :

But when i type "apktool if com.htc.resources.apk DesireHD"

i get--

C:/Users/"your name"/apktool/framework" and only one .apk file named as

"2-DesireHD.apk"

Now how do i proceed ???

i don't find 2 apk files inside as mentioned.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:
I checked original decompiled DHD framework-res.apk and stat_sys_battery.xml have exactly same code as your's except your's have 1% step. I don't know why incuding it in skin didn't work. Also cheked other xml's from framework-res.apk with those from skin and they are the same. Skin's xml's for sure are replacing those in framework, so as you figured out earlier every graphic should be changed when included in skin with respective xml's.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CaspaTheGhost:
These are excellent mate, thanks!

Any chance of you porting BrightSilence's other one, black expresso?

It was my theme of choice before moving to a HD ROM...
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:
Possible.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Thanks for checking. The 1% step is a trick one can find everywhere on the xda android forums. It did work when I substuted the stat_sys_battery file and the icons in the the Galaxy S framework-res file.

Have you tried to add the stat_sys_battery.xml (with the icons that are refered to) from the DHD framework to one of the theme apk's ? Try to replace one or two of the battery icons, maybe the DHD doesn't like the 1% increments.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:
Yes, tried adding original xml from DHD and also your's - didn't work. I found in DHD zzz_stat_sys_batttery.xml which have same code as stat_sys_battery.xml and also tried adding it but this didn't worked...:/

I love CommonSense, very classy. Thanks very much.

Any chance of a nice simple darker version of it?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] BrightSilence:
Don't forget the stat_sys_battery_charge.xml

I also found that this mod only works if you decompile and rebuild the apk with apk manager. Simply extracting and replacing them doesn't work.

But then I haven't looked at DHD roms yet, I guess it's possible you need to edit it in both the skin and in the framework in the ROM as well.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sopL87:

100% Noob question (newly started to get bored with the standard themes):

How do I install a new theme that's available in this thread?

Since the files are .apk, I assumed that one can simply put them on the phone's SD-card and install it like that. I tried that with the glass theme, and it said it installed, but I never found the glass theme when looking for skins.. Do I need ROMs?

Please help a new guy out :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Eneco:
Are you sure that you have Sense2.0? (Froyo-Roms)

With Sense2.1 (gingerbread-Roms), take a look at the first post
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] KCeriales:
Hmm thanks for pointing that out, I apparently have 2.1.. I installed the 2.1 Glass theme, but to no avail.. Tried another one (Black Espresso) and it successfully installed, and I could finally see a new skin, in the selection menu. However, I've noticed that the theme isn't being displayed correctly, i.e. it does not have any transparency whatsoever, so perhaps it's because I never modified anything on this phone that it can't display themes with transparent GUI?

EDIT::

Turns out, I'm completely blind =.= I looked at the wrong picture when I checked out the Black Espresso theme. No transparency on that theme, so no surprise. I wanted the theme that was depicted before that one. Sorry for the inconvenience
