PORTING Hero apps to Magic..

Is there anyway to do this?ive tried puching the apps and extra lib.so files in but no joy? Would i need to edit the manifest files?
I mean the apps and NOT the widgets

Good luck w/ this.
I've tried to directly push applications from HERO port builds on several occasions, using different methods.
I wanted HTC Peep, tried to push it with ADB, etc. NO GOOD!
I wanted Footprints, tried to push it as well, also NO GOOD!
Along with the Flash Player and numerous others. Typically, as I'm sure you're aware, the application is quite ingrained within the firmware or build version; making it difficult to find a way to force it to function properly elsewhere.
I'm no expert. However, this might be a lost cause depending on which applications you're wanting to give a shot.
Good luck boss.

Thanks for the response i was starting to think it is worth posting in development and risk a ban! Rather than wait for a response here.
Mainly i want to get the HTC Weather app onto a cyanogen ROM.Just because i find it alot more accurate than any on the market, Plus the look of it from my old blackstone god rest her soul.
Has anyone tried porting parts of magic to hero?

Sorry was on my friends comp and forgot o sign myself in

sadly to say a lot of the apps on hero are used and or deeply apart of rosie.apk. Thus meaning its pretty much reliant on rosie unless extracted the right way without rosie. The framework for rosie is so compiled so complex i get confused lol. If we can destroy it and build it from pebbles then maybe, Till then, the apps belong to rosie. sorry.... fosho. . . .

Erm...what's Rosie?

Does anyone plan on making new roms and themes for hero

I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.

do you know any good ones?

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.

Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?

lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.

which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I thought I recognized you from PPCG!
I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.

lol you got the hero too?

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.

I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

Yep, they banned me over something dumb, and i didnt feel like fighting them, plus since i have a Hero now they are useless.

can someone tell me how to make roms and stuff like that for the hero maybe a guide or video on it? thanks

Good to know! I'll check it out. I've got quite a bit of catching up to do. Looking forward to your ROM as well.

LOL! I sort-of banned myself. The Hero forum there is pretty lame. I still have friends there and at EDTP but I don't spend much time there anymore.
Alright!

Any chance of getting Moment Rom to work on Hero?

Just wondering if anybody has tried to get a Sprint Moment rom to work on Hero? (following the thread of making Hero a vanilla Android )
PS.. JBQ announced that he released some of the android 2.0 source code.
Thanks

Why not just delete SenseUI? Im pretty sure that would be a lot easier.

There is absolutely nothing in the Moment to warrant doing the work

If that were possible -- including getting rid of all the bloat HTC added to the dialer, People app, etc. -- I would do it in a heartbeat, myself. As it is, completely stripping SenseUI has proven to be impossible.

Try this - Kill the Sense process, delete all the data for HTC Sense in applications/settings. Hit the home key and see if you can set "Home" as the default.
After that - root the ***** and kill off the bloat using the guides posted here

I'm pretty sure you could remove enough of it, or else the gutted ROM wouldn't be on here....

interesting. I want the DivX/Avi support the Moment has.

That would have been nice, but i already re-coded all the media i wanted on my phone. I just used Visual Hub's(Mac program, btw) default settings for the iPhone and they look great.

Android on htc HD2??

Hello everyone!
I had a question to ask ...
Some time ago I saw the dualboot windows-android htc available for some.
is also available on HD2?
thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792

i think you can install the dual.root but there is no version of android itself to run on htc hd 2, as i assume.

if they mange to port it yes, ideally it would have a dual boot where you can chose what you want too boot when you turn on the phone.. that would be really nice

Yes, what he said. You can READ about the progress they have made, but please no posts like:
'Can't you just use the Android from Nexus One?'... The Developers are smart people. So to be honest, there is probably NOTHING you can teach them. Just let them to their job. It is harder then you guys think, so this could take a while.
Enjoy your HD2 as it is. The main reason I want Android is for the appstore. But probably tomorrow the Marketplace will get an update, that allows you to switch regions, install on SD card, and makes it easier for Developers to make apps. Let's hope the Marketplace start getting better within the next months!

there is no android version for htc hd2 i have tried other versions installing on my device but it did not work..... i think people are working on it hopefully sooner or later we will get it.....

Maybe never !!!

thank you guys and sorry.

TouchWiz 3.0 On Android For HD2?

Is there any chance of getting this on some Android build?
Maybe the choice of having Sense, TouchWiz and the standard interface?
Thank you for answers!!

i was wondering the same thing.
i tried installing the .apk but it would always force close and never work.

Not open source. Devs could be looking for the same HTC C&D letter from samsung. Besides, there is not one advantage of using this home replacement that you couldnt find in the ones currently in the market. Poke me if I'm wrong

Well okay, i see Too bad! But why are people still cooking rooms with sense if its illegal? Sorry, for asking so much

It's here. Only launcher.

Im running it on dan13s froyo build you put the apk on the sd card and open it with the file explorer. have to go to settings and allow non market apps, but that's it.

Where can I get a file explorer? The Android I'm running doesn't come with one. Check my sig for what I'm running.

Yeah check the market for "Linda" or "Astro". Both free, both will do the job. There are others as well but these are the two I've used most. Remeber to check your app settings to allow installation of third party apps (i.e. apps not from Android Market)
