So i just installed Pauls Custom Rom HTC Vision (G2/Z) MoDaCo Custom ROM .
There is a couple nice apps.
I was wondering a couple things.
Can i back up some of these apps and if i revert to stock or another ROM, would i be able to install these apps?
Also, i kinda like the HTC sense UI, even though i heard it is quite heavy on CPU and battery, would it be able to get the launcher somewhere?
thanks
Hi all, can I just check if there is anyway we can get back stock apps like Car Panel in custom ROMs? It was something that is really cool that I really hope it can work as well on Sense 3.0 ROMs..
someone help ~!
Yes you can. There are many. I know if your phone is rooted you can go get it our of your app folders. I'm sure there others. Go search for the apk on the net.
pretty much all sense based roms should have that app
Which is your BUILD (ROM) ? It's strange that you haven't that app. Did you searched Google for .apk ?
Hello,
I am running Android 2.2.1 with sense 2.0 on HTC HDs. So I want to have some of those cool themes like this one ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761517.. or this one ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657..
I've downloaded may ".zip" files and tried to flash them through CWM but no luck, I got the message below:
" Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbeard based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create woking updatw zip packages. Installation abort".
Then I tried another themes with ".mtz" but I didn't know how to install them. It needs an app called "Theme Manager".. I installed that Theme Manager app but its not working, I couldn't even found the app icon on my phone!..
All what I want is to have a beautiful themes for my phone!.. :/
Why is it so difficult to get it work? & how to?
Thank you..

I'm not sure, but I think your ROM has to be Cyanogenmod or MIUI based to be able to flash new themes, at least, non - sense themes (seeing as you are running a sense ROM)
Also try moving theme manager to internal storage.
The .mtz files are themes for MIUI. You need a MIUI ROM to install those themes.
I haven't used Sense in a while but can't you download themes (Dock bars etc.) through the HTC hub?

Oh no!.. This is really what I was afraid to hear! Because I've bad times with other ROMs. Actually I've flashed many ROMs before but it couldn't last more than 2 days with me .. There was no logical reason but all the ROMs that I've flashed make the phone freeze & sometimes rebooted unexpectedly when I made a call or receive one. So I went back for the original one..

HTC hub themes sucks!
I've had problems with non-sense Android as well.
While MIUI themes don't work on sense. you can search for sense-based themes. Some can be flashed using CWM, and if that doesn't work, you can copy the files to their proper place manually using root explorer or any similar app, but you have to be 100% sure that the theme you're using is fully compatible with your ROM/build.
You can also try using a third party launcher that is themable like launcher pro or go launcher. You can use gosms to get a themable message app...

I'll try your suggestions & feed u guys back.. Thanks
Sense builds are not launcher friendly
my phone performance dropped considerably when I installed ADW, Go launcher, and launcher pro. Never bothered to try any more.
well i don't know, i never used sense builds cause they are much slower.
im on miui from langthang at the moment and it's just great. i don't like the launcher and installed another.
i don't really understand why the op couldn't get other roms to run fluid. if you want to customize a lot you should try a clean install with a miui build.

Just a theory but could you use titanium backup to freeze HTC sense after setting 3rd party launcher as default? That may speed it up.
in theory yes, but if something wrong happens with the new launcher you will not be able to revert to what you had earlier.
I tried that a long time ago, and when I reset my device it got past the boot animation into a black screen, and nowhere further. but that was on one of the few first Sense builds. not sure if it will work on the newer ones. I don't have the courage to try that again

I see. You're a chicken.
Just kidding, so freezing HTC sense caused the build to stop booting? So... probably not the best idea then.
haha, well kind of XD
I like stable sets, so when I find any stable thing I stick with it. I don't have much time to try different settings.
as I said, this problem happened to me using the very first few sense builds, things may be different now.
if you're using an SD build, you can backup your data and system images and try that out. let me know if it works in newer builds
here's an update on the issue:
If you want sense without sense launcher here's a nice build for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997899
and a tweaked themed build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130359
You can also run a sense build smoothly with another launcher if you make the launcher hard to kill using the supercharger script here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126940
I've tried the solutions above and all ran nicely. a bit of lag with the last one but not a major one.
I want the stability etc of froyo but the beauty of other roms. I would like to know if it is possible to use a rom such as CoreDroid but have the messaging bubbles from later releases of sense roms?. If it is what apk's etc do I need to extract to be able to do this?.
Thanks in advance
Scotty.

You cannot simply extract the mms.apk and install it into your ROM. If you want a similar look and feel of sense 3.0/3.5 builds or customization on every aspect of the messaging UI, I would suggest a third party application such as GO SMS, Chomp SMS, or Handcent SMS (all of these can be downloaded from the market).

Think about it logically, and ask yourself the question 'why would HTC provide their Sense UI, the only thing that makes them different from other Android phone manufacturers, as a separate downloadable software?'. Then ask yourself why, if someone else found a way to do this, why wouldn't people be posting about it and why wouldn't you have found it in a search. Finally, what's the point of installing AOSP/CM7 then just putting Sense on it? That's the same as flashing a Sense ROM, seeing as you want the full experience rather than just the launcher.

AFAIK there's still no hacked Rosie.apk working on every device. While TouchWiz and Xperia Home are, for example, avaliable of everyone.
