Now you can buy the Launcher Pro Unlocker from the market and unlock so you choose custom dock background, which will be the sense dock. If you do buy the unlocker (or already have a Titanium Backup or other backup of it) once installed you may go to Launcher Pro Preferences > Appearence > Dock Background > Froyo. This will set the sense dock with no need for a custom image.

Now you set the dock buttons so that they do what they button is supposed to do.

- Long-Press the Browser shortcut on the dock and choose "change shortcut"
- Choose Applications > Settings > Custom Icon > sdcard > and press the thumbnail that is solid black
- Long-Press the Message shortcut on the dock and choose "change shortcut"

Q: Who all helped you in the process of you making the rom and getting it to it's current state?
A: First I'd like to thank the community for all the support I was given along the way. And I'd also like to thank the following people:

kevin, JAguirre1231, brainmaster, Koush., robocik, maxisma, lpy, Rang3r, mike1986., badams1, Revolution, sduvick, ayoteddy, SunPengfei, Jikantaru, darkky, Shadewalkerz, beray5, Google, HTC

Q: What are some of the current issues (things that need fixing) in the rom?
A: These are the issues that I've noticed while testing both rom versions and wrote down as my "notes":

Major:
- Any app put in /data/app directory of the rom's .zip file will not install correctly b/c it'll "corrupt" itself on boot resulting in a "PARSE ERROR"
- Find out why start up scripts located in /system/etc/init.d/ are not running on boot or not setting the values like I want them to

Minor: 
- Can not change camera icon to htc camera icon without causing camera app to fc
- Add widget > calendar icon to be like calendar icon for htc 
- Shutdown/Popup menu text color is white and not black
- See if changing number images to be like sense for phone's dialpad
- Noti. Bar icon switchers & contact icon
- USB connected android in background is behind the text and it looks bad
- Grey > Green lock pattern drag streak
- Blue > White font in settings menu
- App drawer home button in landscape mode is still presenting itself in portrait mode for the LP Version

Q: May we see some screen shots?
A: Off course you may....(Both Versions Have The Same LockScreen)

LP VERSION

this thread is relevant to my needs

You all may not understand my notes but these are the things I'm planning on getting done before I release it:

- button boxes on certain pop out mens
- volume bar green is ugly
- blue font in settings
- led icon (red/green/yellow)
- phone icon
- app drawer (home button replacement dock)
- 4g icon in noti. bar
- grey lock pattern streak instead of green needs to be green
- default wallpaper to be live or sense rainbow
- notification bar (people icon) and setting switchers
- contacts icon
- web icon
- menu text to black instead of white on some pop out menus
- some apps need to be installed via data partition
- re-do phone icon
- maybe try to get sense dial pad
- volume up and down is blue for ring volume on home screen
- update su/busybox
- network icons in notibar
- transparent drop down notification box in background if possible
- black grey bar on drop down notification bar at bottom of screen
- get init.d scripts to run and set the values i'd like them too (see if its a kernel problem or rom problem or script problem)
- change some of the apps default settings to be how i'd like them to be on boot
- finish the majority of these things by christmas


it's 1am and i plan on being awake til 3am to work on some things b/c i want this as much as you all lol

Good luck. Sound great.

Not that I can't finish the changes that need to be made but it seems that the family would like me to spend more time with them right now rather than with the constant time I've been spending with my phone working on this. I'm hoping to be able to finish this tonight or tomorrow when I won't need to "spend as much time with the family as possible".

MERRY XMAS ALL!
