Hey ROM cookers, is there any way I can get hold of the Sense UI skin to apply to my Samsung Galaxy, I'd ideally like the MS exchange .cab too. I know they're not .cabs but I'm new to Android.
I love my Galaxy but the UI is the standard crappy Android one, I'm ex WM 6.5 Deep shining and the HTC UIs kick arse!
All help appreciated.
Matt
Should be possible, for the UI at least. There is a Hero UI port for the Magic and Sapphire and they are just standard Android.
But.......
you do have a samsung, and I know its an android but this is a HTC community and although we welcome all, HTC is the priority. This site shows that getting a HTC phone is more than just the phone but the community.
But if anyone has more info please contribute.
Cheers, I'm HTC through and through, I thought hard before moving away but HTC hardware has been crap for the last year. My missus has the last good HTC (the touch HD) and I needed micro sd and a 3.5mm jack. The OLED screen and form factor of the Galaxy were too hard to resist. I couldn't wait for the Leo.
Having said that I choose my gfs phones and she'll be moving to O2 just to get a Leo, I don't like the Heros chin and the Tattoo is a bit cheap.
If anyone can help me, please do.
You should look for rosie.apk (apk is the equivalent of cab in android land)
You can try...hmmm.. may be this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822
just download the attached apk file in that thread and push that to the phone
using:
adb remount
adb push Rosie.apk /data/app_s/
adb shell
reboot
(*) no need to say but you probably need root access to do this.
Though in the end, I really have no idea that whether it would work or nuke your phone..

Has anyone seen any Android Ports for the Imagio?
and by ports you mean??
I mean has anyone hacked a build of Android with the Sense UI that will run on the Imagio.
If you are just looking for an emulator to impress your friends use this. It's actually quite cool, you can customize icon size, position, flick between 3 app screens and use your finger to draw the navigation pane up.
There is actually a port of Android on the Blackstone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572537 The devices are very similar, so maybe someone could modify it to work on the Imagio.
I'd absolutely love for android to be on my Imagio. Anyone know if anyone's working on it?
Has anyone attempted using the blackstone build?
I am interested in helping testing on my Imagio
Me too, I would love to help out and test.
Try Point UI, If you download the free version there are many themes to choose from. Try the pointsense theme, latest version. I was running it on my vogue till I got my Imagio and it was just like my brothers Droid.
Its available here:
http://www.pointui.com/
and you can watch it action here:

Thanks, but I dont want to make my phone LOOK like its running android, I want it TO be running Android.

hi, i am going to buy htc tattoo in 2 days time. before that i need to know whether i have plenty of apps alternative to windows mobile apps.
i also heard that its a qvga screen, so developers have to sign it to get it working on tattoo (240x320 qvga screen). is that true that we may expect good number of apps for this device??? by the grace of developers showing interest in developing apps & games for qvga screen(old mobile screen)... ????
will it be future proof ???? i am also not sure about the availability of upgrade to android 2.0 from 1.6. can anyone reply to these messages???
waiting for ur responses.... if i wanna install any application on htc tattoo, where do i get the apps & how do i install it???? like is it like just clicking on exe files as in windows???? or is there any special way how i should install apps & games????
i know it may sound like a noob talk. but what to do, i am totally new to this android thing..... no idea on how to get it started & know more about it, android & its different versions of OS..... kindly throw some light on where to get all information about it & its uses over windows mobile.... in simple & detailed manner.....
detailed information is highly appreciated...... thanks
I switched from a WM HTC Diamond to the cheaper HTC Tattoo and find it quicker, and with more apps!
But it might be useful for you to tell us what apps you want/use already, and we can say whether or not they are on Tattoo.
As for 2.0 who knows, talk is it should eventually get the upgrade but not exactly high priority,
Info
I have also switched from HTC Diamond to Tattoo. I know that Tattoo is cheaper but I like it more.
To install .apk you can use HTC Sync. After synchronization you can find on main screen HTC Sync :Application Installer and you can use it for install any application.
You can use ASTRO file manager to install .apk from Tattoo
There is no problem with APPS, I already have installed even AndNav2, and There is a lot of software in the market. Something that Diamond doesnt have
This phone beat the Diamond with performance, software,easy to use and price, but not with the display resolution.
how about upgrading android 1.6 to 2.1 on htc tattoo ??? any ROM available yet??? i wanna try that version of android OS on my htc tattoo.... any input about its guide would be appreciated.....
@kashish, where r u from buddy??? u just vanished after u asked me a question??? fine... i wanna know if 3G is launcehd in India, can i use it with my tattoo with firmware update??? ur reply is highly appreciated pls....
Hey guys, I need some assistance here. I bought a Tattoo and believe me I love it - even coming from higher-end Android phones, the problem is that mine is apparently a Malaysian variant and there is no ANDROID MARKET as such - only SLIDE ME. I am not sure of the difference in availability off apps between the two, but I have heard there are only 25% of the usual apps on SLIDE ME as compared to ANDROID MARKET. Anyway, my main issue here is that I cannot get any Instant Messenger apps like Agile Messenger or doc viewers like Adobe, Quickoffice or Documents To Go. Are these available (even in paid form) for the Tattoo? I love this little phone and it is super-fast - but I NEED these apps on the Tattoo. Anyone able to shed some light for me?

Right now, I think only BSNL or MTNL provides 3G service. I just activated Vodafone's EDGE service, known as Vodafone Mobile Connect, and it works just fine with my Tattoo. GPS, Twitter, Facebook updates... all work just fine. I do hope that when more operators start providing 3G service, HTC releases an update to enable 3G. I am pretty sure that it's a software limitation and not a hardware limitation.

Documents To Go is available.
Oh really? I will check that out on SlideMe and hopefully that is the case!
i wanna know how i can convert cab files to apk file.... because i can see swype application for windows mobiles being available in 4shared, but no swype apk file anywhere on the net.....
i request here, is there anyone who knows how to convert cab to apk ???? i know it may sound silly.... but i am a noob here. i also understand that it needs to be coded and all stuff.... but as i said before, i wanna know how to do it step by step..... please......
OK -Documents To Go IS indeed available for the Tattoo users out there! Looking for a good IM app next!
Meebo's a pretty good IM app. Give it a try. Available on Market.
I have a G3 Hero from china which have windows mobile 6.5.
Seems to work
I miss the Touch Flo UI. Its a HVGA screen.
Is it possible to run some cab to have a touch flo?
erm could you share a backup or something?`Oo
Are you sure it`s not just a chinese clone?
Hero
yes its something from china- but seems to be the same device (also htc sync contains fitting driver)
Afaik, this is a fake, as there have been a few similar posts here about these devices and how to do a hard reset when they crash.
But to the best of my knowledge, these are pretty much eschewed by devs, and I don't think touchflo is as simple as a cab to install.
but why in the hell would someone have WM6.5 instead of any other OS ???
a fake? my post? my device?
I have it - i use it.- it works- Touch flo is nothing else the a shell ala spbmobile shell (which works perfect). I already installed two T3DF's which runs in general but doesnt shows up the right ui. Do you thing HTC can change an 3rd party os?
Anyway- I believe key points for shell and working is OS (6.5) processor (Qualcomm /arm) and screen resolution HVGA . If that fits- I see no reason why not.
But back to my question. Who have an idea which of the "hundrets" which are out there could be the working one.
You could download an All In One cab for TF2D, and skin that. I am not so sure for TF3d though. You'd need to change the xml file(s) and resize all the images, unless of course, you manage to find one already done.
After all this is done, there is still no guarantee that it will work. Afterall, TouchFlo is for HTC devices and is HTC Inellectual property. I think they must be pretty annoyed that it has been ripped and thrown on to some China Phones, and also is able to be run on numberous samsung phones etc.

He ment the devise is a 'fake' hero eg. its not the realy thing - therefore fake not that you were lying
Thanks max.
You might get on better over in the winmo forums, as they will be more experienced in this stuff.
Dear All,
kindly help me on my concern. I friend of mine just offered me a G2 but i dont like the homescreen of all. Would there be no way to get HTC sense on a later stage or will this option not be allowed on the device. Is there another option to enhance the home screen (i like black but looking for something fancy like the upcaoming SBP mobile shell 5.0...). Another issue understand that there is no radio too, so could i download a radio cab or will this not work or and at least could i download an HTC Desire z rom at a later stage....
How is the keyboard, can i write mail quickly...
thanks a lot...
In another thread some people claim that the Desire ROM would be compatible with the G2, thus opening an easy avenue to get Sense on a G2. However, that requires permanent root to be available, which we don't have today.
What you can do today is getting something like Launcher Pro, which allows for a lot of customizations of the home screen.
Typing is fine on the Keyboard, but I'm still using Swype for anything shorter than a multi-paragraph email...
There is an app in the market called TuneIn Radio that streams radio stations over the internet. It has the ability to display all local radio stations too.

You're coming from a Win Mo phone aren't you?
cab = apk in android language.

Yes,the answer is positive.
You can get a ROM with HTCSense.com once it's fully rooted anf THAT won't be far from now.(At least I think so)
