[REQUEST] Are there any skins out there for us?

---

Are there any skins for our mySense 3.0 roms. I want to do a lot of customizing but I dont wanna do any thing that requires root and stuff like that. If there isn't are there any apk files to make our mytouch devices look newer in the software dept.

I wasn't able to find any. I think the doubleshot got played with this mySense crap. It sucks so bad its not even funny. If we could have gotten Sense 2.1 I would have been happy because that's far more capable than anything I've seen a dev do with mySense. Just my 2cents though

It is because of the Genius system. From the original MyTouch, the whole line incorporated the Genius system, which is a modified (and more powerful) version of Dragon Naturally Speaking. HTC and Nuance developed Genius, with HTC modifying Sense to provide hooks for Genius to work with, giving it many more capabilities than it could have by being just a slap-on app. That is why you can't take Genius and just install it on another phone, the necessary hooks in Sense aren't there.

So I guess the answer is no. I also want to ask will gingerbreak work on this device? If not is there a good one click root app for our device?

The only way I know to root this phone is by getting S-Off, or S-ON Unlocked. Then flashing a SU Zip.

I installed HTC Sync to get the drivers
I used HTC's unlocker steps found here:
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/

I used Hasoon's little PC app to get the clockwork recovery, root, and to flash superuser. It's not the only way, and it's not much easier than other ways, but the app has useful instructions in it that helped a bit.

I used fastboot to flash kernals that I pulled from rom zips, and ROM Manager to flash the actual rom. Rom manager first, then fastboot.

here are some useful links;

The original MyTouch was AOSP, it shared everything with the G1 except for more internal memory and RAM.

The MyTouch 3G slide was the first to use the Genius button (never used it when I had it).

Just an FYI.....the standard Revolutionary method is only 3 steps and very simple. If you take that plunge, there are dozens of people here that are more than willing to help you out.

I've tried the Rev Method twice and still didn't work and I need to know the meaning of flashing something and I want to use a live wallpaper from sense 4. What I really want is the HTC One S but as you all can tell I have a two year contract....so I want to get my phone as close as possible to sense 4 and that's what I will do. I will try doing that SU zip thing and then see what happens if not I guess imma just rely on apks and widgets and WidgetLocker

Try using different launchers. Golauncher is free, and has tons of themes(like skins) to choose from, and doesn't need root.
