WHAT DO YOU GET?
Thanks to some very knowledgeable people on this site, I finally managed to complete the inverted Sense mod that I started on ICS!
I also decided to address the blue/green imbalance and convert the leftover green stuff to HTC JB blue, again for a more unified feel.
In particular, I owe thanks to
- Il Duce and steal25 for giving us a compilable com.htc.resources.apk
- joeyfettucine for invaluable advice
- mwilky for advice and assistance
- fichl for helping me to keep the theme up to date with later versions of ViperX
REQUIREMENTS
- Rooted XHDPI device running Sense 4+
- Custom recovery (works with TWRP and CWM)
- ROM based on 3.14.401.31 - should work with any rom, stock or custom, as long as it's rooted
COMPATIBLE DEVICES
So far only tested on One X, but in theory should work on any Sense 4.5 device.
If you try it on any other device, please let me know if it worked.

BUGS
- Main bug is that this will only work with the default HTC skin. There are certain UI elements that get overwritten by custom skins, so they will need adapting for inverted Sense -- more on that in post 2
- You may get odd glitches when using 3rd party apps. Unfortunately this is unavoidable since I can't control where they draw their images/resources from
Any others, please let me know!

ONCE YOU'VE FLASHED THE MOD, YOU NEED TO CHANGE BACK TO THE HTC SKIN FOR THE PROPER EFFECT!
IT WON'T WORK WITH CUSTOM SKINS UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN SPECIFICALLY ADAPTED TO WORK WITH THIS MOD
Remember -- always do a nandroid before flashing any mods!!

INVERTED GOOGLE APPS
There have been a few requests for inverted G Apps. I've never bothered with these, since there are already some excellent inversions out there.
I tend to use either Team BlackOut's or rujelus22's inverted apps. Between the two of them, they have pretty much all apps covered, including many popular 3rd party apps
