How to get Eclair look without losing function?

For the life of me I can't figure it out. I've been searching up and down.
It seems like every higher ROM loses the camera, which is my main gripe for not using them. I also use bluetooth, but I could do without it.
I've looked into the MetaMorph, but then it seems I would need Donut to run them. (Which also doesn't have everything ported, right?)
I've got the icon pack for Eclair, but I want to lose the sense ui and try the android.
Am I completely stuck or did I miss something?

if you want to run stock vanilla cupcake u could use Gumbo. 1.5 BARE. it doesnt have sense ui installed. im not sure if 1.6 has the camera drivers yet but u can look at the wiki for the 1.6 ROMs...

If you don't want to use sense, you could just turn it off..... Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > HTC Sense > Clear defaults
If it doesn't show up in the Manage Applications list, click Menu > Filter > All
Then when you're done, hit the Home key, and click Home

Everything works on 1.6 except for a few minor bugs.

Favorite 2.1 Enhancements

Please share your favorite 2.1 enhancements. There might be stuff we are not aware of.
-U can see your Facebook contacts info in People app
-The "Gallery" app is awesome and u can see your picassa albums too
-New HTC Sense, u can see 7 cards of your 7 screens at once
-Can install Google Nav (no need for sprint nav)
-About 160mb free of memory after install the rom. Wow!
-Wireless Tether (You can share your internet service with any wireless device)
-Spanish language support out of the box (locale)
-Youtube app actually works
-Camera enhancements(now with effects and lots of options)
-Really, really fast

Market is alot nicer and shows screenshots

My Favs are:
Universal Search (not just web search anymore)
Bluetooth file Transfer (finally)
Multiple GMail accounts!!
Full Screen Weather animations
Browser now has Default zoom setting (This has to be my all time favorite addition)
Browser has broader privacy cleaning options
Browser has Most Visited pages tab & History tab (Navigate)
You can sync Last.fm contacts
Google Maps has Labs plugins (Compass Arrow is essential IMHO)

OK, where do I get this rom? I'm on Sprint. I saw a 2.1 rom here somewhere a while back and installed it. I like it but there are things that are broken, which is understandable. Been thinking about looking back here for an update but I've been hearing all this stuff about 2.1 coming out officially and thought I'd wait. Is this the official 2.1? Has Sprint released one?
Even if not, where can I get this one. (Sorry, I'm on the bus or I'd look harder myself).

I run damage control 1.0 and love it very stable and there is a fix or or work around for just about any issues that people have found

The search.
Being able to say "call John Doe" into google voice search without having to use that stupid broken ass voice caller.
Also if you installed the new google maps with navigation you can say something like....
"navigate to pizza"
and it will launch the navigator with a list of the closest pizza places and then will route you after you click one. Awesome.

My favorite thing is the browser. Configurable zoom level, don't have to hit menu to get the address bar, and a single press of the menu button shows the notification bar.

2.0b2? I thought I wanted 2.1?!? My firmware version states 2.1 (though that could just be wishful thinking). Wouldn't 2.0b2 be a step backwards?
And where would I get either of those ROMs?

That's a ROM version, not an Android version. Fresh 2.0b2 and DamageControl 1.0 are both Android 2.1 ROMs.
You should start at the stickies at the top of the forum.

that's a internal version number, its "fresh rom 2.0b2" so that's the 2nd version of the fresh rom revision b revision 2.
its still android 2.1

You have to have the main flip clock which is the default one just swype down the lockscreen and don't touch anything you'll see it

Had to drop the one that was there and re-add it. Thanks! Works now...wicked cool. Now if I could get swype to work it would be great, but thats for another day another thread.

It seems like it charges faster from USB. Could be my imagination though, heh.

-Ability to download 2.1 only apps
-Much faster than 1.5
-New Sence optimizations
-Google Nav
-Youtube actually works
-Camara and video is much better
-Better Flash support
-Did i mention that 2.1 is much faster lol

I heard that with Google Nav, there is a way to enable TTS so the directions are spoken to you. I downloaded the Speech Synthesis app from the market and installed it (and ran the app which puts the files in the sdcard), and the directions aren't spoken to me. How do I enable this?
NVM I just found out you have to push Navigate instead of "Get Directions"...

Layars- in Maps one of my favorites that I have been missing since my Blackberry 8130 (I still can't believe that this wasn't built into our version of Google Maps!!)
Market-
Camera- Editing features
Browser
I think everyone else listed all the rest of the things I like!!

Please forgive my ignorance. I mean why would I confuse a firmware/ROM version of 2.1 with and Android version number of 2.1!
I mean version numbers are a dime a dozen aren't they? I have the following to give out from the About Phone thing including:
Firmware Version: 2.1
Baseband Version: 1.04.01.09.21
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-533ce29d [email protected] #742
Build Number: 20091203 Heroc_Generic_WWE #
Software Version: HEROC21-Community-1.8
I mean it's so clear to me now! How could I have missed it!
Sarcasm off - seriously I don't see a straight - this is the Android version in any of those?
Meantime I'll search the stickies tonight - but any help with mapping the above to the best version for me would be appreciated.

ok I'll edit the wiki when I get home.
edit: it looks like the wiki has been updated separating the frimware versions. heres the link
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=CDMA Hero ROMs

With all of these 2.1 roms, what are you running and why?

I know this is a general question , but i was wondering whats up with them. Are they all working the same? Same options, same stuff inside? What are you running and why?

DARCHLEGENDv4.1
I have been testing constantly for the past 4 days. I ran damagev1 for 2 days and really liked it. When the new darchlegend v4.1 came out i started trying to make an aosp like fix for it......And i was successful. So this is my new setup:
-AOSP notification bar
-Pearl colored espresso bar
-Helix Launcher(for AOSP_N1 Look&Feel)
-My LWP Fixes to make them a STABLE part of the rom
-All the rest of the features that are part of the Legend rom
The reasons i chose this rom were because its the newest legend build. My present setup has features that wont even be included in the official 2.1(lwp+N1 launcher +7 screens). Its official, My rom hunt is OVER......FOR NOW....

Cant remember where I read it but somewhere someone linked an image of the release specs for 2.1 and lwps were on it. Not sure if its true or not, but it might be.
I'm also using DarchLegendV4.1 its the snappiest, cleanest, and most fully functioning one I've used so far between both 2.0 fresh roms and damages. But really it comes down to what your looking for they're all pretty functional. The Legend leak has friendstream which is awesome if you use facebook and twitter it also has a google latitude widget which rocks. I was using fresh2.0b2 for quite awhile but with the fresh roms and the damagecontrol one I had issues with my contacts syncing with facebook and grabbing pictures sometimes it did and sometimes it didnt and some times it synced but no picture until they called lol. I'm noticing no sync issues with the legend build (except gmail but out of all of them out so far they all do that on and off).
Well thats my quick review hope it helps, but as a side note if you nandroid back up you cant loose anything by testing them all. My suggestion flash one for a awhile and see if you like then backup and flash another. Hope that helps.

DamageControl v1.0
- at the time I flashed it, it was the only fully functional 2.1 ROM
- the smoothness, speed, and responsiveness of my Hero now is like an iCan't (absolutely no lag)
- everything functions perfectly - trackball light, LED, sync, contacts, MMS, EVERYTHING
- even w/ a pig like Home++ it's amazingly fast
* only thing is I WISH is that it came w/ the stock Android notification bar (white)

I was running DC 1.0, but found out that stereo blue-tooth actually works on the stock Rom so now I am back to stock until the release!
I was having really bad skips and pauses with any Rom so I just figured it was A2DP just sucked, but for some reason it just sucks on all the Roms that I have tried, and I have tried at least 15 of them! Found out day before yesterday someone else was having the same issue as I and went back to the stock Rom and everything was perfect!

Ok guysv thanks. What about thaat gumbo kernal? Is that included with all of the 2.1 roms. Should i also flash that new radio too? Freshes rom.

I am on damagecontrol 1.1 and my button lights and trackball light still act wonky, did I miss a fix?

An "Unleashed" 2.1 .

what is that?

Its a fast secret, lol. Its pretty much bits and pieces of the Legend and Incredible dump.

im soooo bored at work lol care to share?

I went back to Gumbo 1.5c. Reason being is that there are still too many bugs on all the 2.1 releases. This also means im done making different themes on 2.1. Its because every single 2.1 ROM uses different frameworks some older than others...If I make it for one not everyone will be happy because they cant use it on another...oh well....

im nand restoring as we speak my time without signal just started freaking out with 94% time with out signal...i can wait a week or so plus i kinda forgot how 1.5 feels haha

I keep loading up Darch 4.1 but then go back to Damage. DC just runs really really well and everything works.
I do like friendstream, and I like the new icon buttons, bookmark widget, etc from the legend build.

I'm working on my own legend based rom I plan on calling ZenDroid.
Also the 2.1 releases have a kernel of their own. Gumbo kernel will break them.

Not that I'm aware of... Only fix I applied was the MMS one... Lights were never a problem. Once at the very first boot they wouldn't turn on but after I rebooted haven't had a problem since..

Have you tried the "Huge Battery Life Fix" thread? fixed mine, 24 hours later still not an issue any more.

Darchlegend 4.1 may not be quite as smooth as damages rom for some people but I'm loving it so far mns was my biggest deciding factor though

I was playing with his port on my Hero and liked what I saw, figured I'd try it out on the Eris.
So far it seems to be working pretty well. Granted I've only been running it for a very short time so we'll see what happens

Just uploaded a new version that fixes the ADB at boot and should kill the superuser FCs as well.

Will be flashing to this over the weekend. Thanks for your hard work.

HTC Apps on CM6

I've had some problems getting HTC apps working in cm6 latest nightly.
I get my apks from DC froyo.
First I tried an easy install which failed.
Then I moved it to the system/app folder and chmod and chowned to make sure the permissions and owners were the same as stock.
Right now the HTC internet browser opens but force closes.
How can I get it working?

Aren't the HTC apps tied to the Sense framework? If so, I don't think it'll be possible to get them working on a non-sense ROM.
I could be completely wrong.
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G using XDA app.

No you are not completely wrong. You are completely correct. Sense is deeply integrated into Android. It's not like there are just some added libraries. The source code that compiles into the framework.jar and framework-res.apk, etc are directly modified by HTC. This means Sense is no mere skin. It is a complete integration into Android. Regardless, without this framework HTC apps will only run on Sense phones. Some can be ported over but it's a difficult process so most likely the apps you want will not be ported over. Out of curiosity though, which apps are you trying to use on CM6?

If you want Sense, go back to Sense.

Use DC.
Can't use HTC apps without Sense. Please check the FAQ in the future.

if you provide the applications you're trying to run, perhaps alternatives can be suggested for you.

I personally like the HTC Tip Calulator widget....
and the HTC Notes....
But you can't use them on adw.
I don't want an app shortcut, I want a widget.

I prefer AOSP thankyou very much.
I just like the option of having some apps that I got used to.
HTC_ime for example. The keyboard.
Even though I use swype.
The camera app which pwns the stock.
Got flashlight and car panel working.
FM radio and weather would be nice too.
There were some nice Widgets but the only one I miss is the clock.
Any porting tips?

i'm not sure what HTC browser your talking about. perhaps try installing Dolphin HD browser.
last nights CM6 build incorporated a new camera app and deathray (er...Flashlight app w/ widget). just get the nightly build and flash over what you have...i wipe 'cache' and 'dalvik cache' ...you loose no settings.
i use 'MyWeather' but then, i don't care for weather widgets. have you even looked on the android market for this? maybe try browsing from a computer on a site like www.appbrain.com

- read the entire forum for the ROM you're playing with

- use the search function liberally. (both on xda and google)

Thanks for your post, but.
This isn't about anything specific, i simply want to know how to get apps ported, without the java source.
That said, I AM using dolphin, but I prefer the copy-paste that I can only find with HTC sense, I was hoping the browser on stock sense would help.
I've come across that thread, and use Swype without much issue, but having no trackball () makes me wish I had some arrow keys.. Not available in that thread.
Since my OP I have customized ADW and i'm quite pleased with it overall.
Now I just want to be able to use any app I wish. Regardless of alternatives!
Beautiful widgets is good, but has no analog clocks last I checked.
I do use it either way, but again, this isn't about anything specific.
I want to unlock apk's so they work anywhere. Any rom. Not just with HTC apps, but even the touchwiz apps!
Don't care about 4G, and i know that there are bugs being worked out with CM6 but i'm following it closely. On the 8/11 nightly build right now.
Finally, I read too much. I know a lot more than I put on..
Been "playing" with android roms since Dream (especially CM).
The problem which I have won't be solved by simply looking around for a version of the APK that works.
I want to know how they are being ported/unlocked .
If you can help, then thankyou very much!
Otherwise, I don't need your irrelevant tips. (No offense intended)

Swype from the Swype key to the SYM key. Voila.
