Extract exchange support from HTC SENSE?

Hi,
Is there any possibility that you smart guys could extract only the exchange capabilities from HTC's SENSE?

edit sorry guys

1. Wrong section
2. Search Button
3. ... all I am going to say.
Thanks,

There you go. Give it a try.

More politely put no it is not possible but you can use senseui with the normal launcher and have your exchange support.
Or just use touchdown OR motogal and motocal

Widgets
My problem is that I LOVE the widgets. the Calender Widget to be specific. I wish the Android calender would merge Exchange and Google calender information and present it out on a unified calender like HTC does. And I used Modaco's kitchen to dump the Sense UI but that also leaves me without the calendar and mail widgets :-(

Not working
Talderon - I have searched but didn't get a satisfying answer.
InGeNeTiCs - Tried it (adb push), but I don't see any new app..
genibus - If I get you correct, you are saying that the only possible way is using HTC Desire's ROM?

calwidget merges google and motorola, works like a charm.

I need to overlay google cal and exchange cal. I am using calwidget which is nice, but I need a full calendar app. (i.e - pick a specific date, and see whats happening in both calendars)
I need to accept calendar invitations from exchange (Push) - motocal can do it only if I happen to navigate to the date and see the event invitation there. there's no way to know you received an invitation, and there's no centralized place where I can see my invitations.
I need to be able to search GAL from the email application. I have motogal, but it's not what i'm looking for. let's say someone sent me an email, I want to forward it to someone in the company. I dont want to go to motogal, search, copy, paste... I want to have the search in the TO field of the wmail app.
I need to search email and calendar..
These are the main problems...
Thanks for the help

Why do people seem to believe that everything can be ported, or "extracted" from everything. Not everything (as sad as this may be to some) can be ported to every single 'thing'. People seem to constantly ask for things from HTC Sense here, but they do not seem to comprehend that HTC Sense requires a specific framework, without Rosie we cannot simply port every minor detail over to the standard Vanilla Android. (From MY understanding, I could be wrong, but this is what I was taught).
Get the Desire ROM, or a imitation, and stop requesting..
This was not directed to the thread creator specifically, though it was to people who are requesting widgets. I really wish people could become a little more educated.. unless me myself is wrong.

You can do all this already, or this is what you want to do?
Let me rephrase my earlier question, I think you misunderstood: What can you currently do that you will LOSE by going to the Desire ROM?

Because that's the idea behind the android OS? That everything is modular. Except that in this case HTC sense is a module for home, and not individual modules.
To the OP: If you want corporate usage, I believe it was pulled from the droid rom successfully. I've seen a few posts allude to it around here somewhere.

Well yes, I know that's the idea behind the Android OS, but not everything can be backported, extracted or whatever as easily as people seem to wish or think..

OHHH sorry I thought you asked a different question.
Actually, I wouldn't mind having a complete sense experience - That would be even better.
But I'm a little afraid to flash the entire Desire ROM because it's still experimental.. isn't it?
I'm currently with Cyanogen so it's not the idea of flashing that bothers me, it's just that specific ROM.
Thanks for your reply.

Curiosity.
Without a Rooted Incredible I assume I can't install the sensemail.apk on the incredible?
I tried and the app won't install although both are HTC Sense UI's?
Verizon seemed to have downgraded the HTC Mail to only one screen option. I wanted the screen widget that showed the messages in a list not by individual pages where you flip through them to read the headers(single page).
I also tried the extracted widget from the HTC Desire ROM and it didn't want to install. said it was an application error.
Any hints? or just wait for the root?

[Q] About rooting and other stuff

I think I might've posted this in the wrong thread, so I just copied and pasted it on to here
*#Rooting
Sheesh , I was scared to ask these questions. *but I just wanted to know a few things about this rooting stuff. As far as ADB and SDK I think it is. I know theres a guide for dummies, but I just want a quick summary and then theres is this clockmod recovery and then that cynogen thing. Just wanted to know if I should put that on my phone. I mean I really just rooted my phone for the themes and tweaks and all of that. I've been going through threads where people post there screenshots of their themes and that pretty much inspired me to root my phone. *- Its my first post , take it easy on me. Haha, but I would really like to get involved with this forum community. I am a graphic designer and pretty good at it but not at the moment cause I don't have my photoshop. I used to do blackberry themes as well. I don't know if that means anything...*

This looks more like a story than a question... but its straight...
Your asking for a quick summary of adb/sdk... sdk is the component that lets you run adb commands so sort anwser without it your computer wouldn't know what adb was... adb is the terminal command so you can make changes to your phone from your computer (add/delete/reboot/install/blah)
clockwork is a version of a recovery image... its well known because he made an app to go along with it...
Cryogen is a rom developer with a ridiculous following... he blew up back in the day when google sent him a cease in desist for using google apps in his roms (now they are dl'd separate)
I think that answers your 4 questions well in quick summery at least :/

Yeah, I know it was kind of long. Haha, sorry but should I put clockwork on my phone? Maybe if I needed to go back to factory settings or something and what program should I get to change my theme? I got launcher pro but I want to change the battery meter and all of that.

Maybe this would work, you could goto apps and then scroll down on the categories. Click productivity and then click top free, scroll down a bit and it should be the 6th top free app. Thats a harder way though. Haha
Edit: You can also search up the developers name " Federico Carnales " without quotes.

ROM Customization Program. Is it Possible?

Alright, while I was sitting in class today, I was thinking. Everyone has their own ideas on what they want in a ROM, but since there are too many people to make unique ROMs for, and not all of us know how to create a ROM. I thought, would a program that allows you to customize a ROM just for your phone be possible? Pick your phone, base ROM, (like a ROM made by a developer for your phone already), any tweaks, apps, settings, etc, that would allow you to create your perfect ROM? Just a thought.
EDIT: Or is there in fact something like this out there?

I was looking under non-HTC supported devices. The Milestone, which is what I have, is unconfirmed. Does that mean it may be not such a good idea to use that?

I doubt it will work. My apologies.

It said something about deleting the boot.img file. But thanks anyway. I'll give it a whirl.

Also! Everytime I restart my phone, it deletes Facebook synced data, like my contacts, so I have to go to Facebook, and switch Do Not Sync, in the Facebook settings, to Sync All, which is, So. Annoying. Any fix to this? Many ROMs do this, but I have used a few that don't.

Never used Facebook, its the root of all evil!
Lots of options in market. Just search "Facebook sync".
One example :

[Q] Edit Mini Apps tray on 6810?

I apologize if this has been discussed, I really did search and only found one place where this was asked, but there was no answer. According to the Samsung 7.7 features page it says this "Mini Apps : Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. You can easily access favorite features such as Calendar, Email, or PenMemo as a pop up over full screen applications. " So obviously my question is this. How is this done? Or is it even possible on my model? Thank you and again sorry of this has already been addressed.

If you look at the bottom bar on your Tab you will see an icon that looks like an upside down 'v'. Click on it and it will bring up your mini-apps tray. You can launch those mini apps over the app you are in.

I think you misunderstood my question. I know about the up/ down arrow and the mini apps. But it says that is is Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. So Im trying to figure out how to change them if its possible on the wifi only 6810. Thanks

Im not totally sure which one I used, but it might have been the one in post 19. But that one will change the icons as well. Im not sure where you might get one that is stock. The same author of that thread "Ssaass" makes an app called "Wizzbar" that might help you. I may be able to make one for you. Upload your systemui.apk and Ill see what I can do.

Ok, didnt think I forgot about you did you? I think this is what your looking for. The edit function shows up when you press the mini apps button. Lower right corner, cant miss it. This is all stock icons with edit function built in. Hope this is what you wanted. I tested this on my rooted stock 6810. Let me know if it works.
PS: For anyone that might want to know how I did it. All I did was use the "layout" folder in the Res folder from the apk that has the edit function. Then rezipped, changed name and permissions, and put back into system/ app.

Awesome... Thanks for your time. I'll try it when i get home tonight. I'm thanking you now anyway...

Yes, it works, thanks... But what I didn't expect is that you can't add any app you want, it's just limited to some samsung "mini" apps which really su**s!
I wonder if there's a way around that...
Thanks again I really appreciate it anyway.

HTC Sense People Widget (Separate APK)

Hey all
I know quite a few people are unhappy about not seeing the People Widget on the new HTC 10, so I decided to extract the APK from my old M8 and installed it on the HTC 10.
For anyone else who is interested it getting the People Widget back, here is it.
It's been uploaded to my Google Drive, but if anyone can recommend a better place to upload it, I'll happily make it available for everyone.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_85IRTAZanZcTdfM1VxbDlZNlk&usp=sharing

Outstanding and thanks for the share!

Hi, great! Thanks.
I would like to extract some more widgets from my own old M8. Can you point me to the way of doing that? Highly appreciated!

I tried extracting the HTC Music app and successfully installed it onto the HTC10, but every time I launched it, it would crash.
That is the reason why I didn't upload the file here.
The Google Play app takes a bit of getting use to, and you have to really stay on top of your MP3 ID3 tags, but once you get use to it, it isn't so bad.
Only wish it had the ability to sort by folder, but the HTC Music app didn't have that ability either
