[Q] HTC Sense - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi guys! sorry if this has already been posted, but i really cant find the answer anywhere, and im a heavy reader of the forum.
Is there any way to install HTC Sense by myself on a "no sense" android version?
i know most u guys hate sense, but i find it quite usefull, as it brings a good calendar widget (full screen syncronised with google calendar), the people widget (that syncronises with facebook app automatically) and friendstream (which i like a lot to keep me posted with news, people and tweets updates).
The reason why i dont just install an android version with htc sense already on, is cos i have noticed that all versions with sense, have the camera limited to 3mpx, but the ones running froyo 2.2 can be set at 5 mpx.
sorry if the question has an obvious answer that i couldnt figure out myself.

I'm looking find a solution for this too. I've tried to use some .apk files under /system/app from Desire ported rom but it doesn't work under Nexus One based roms

MattC version includes two cameras 2&5MP
HD2 Energy Cookies ROM, 2.10.50, MattC sense

Sense requires different framework.res and a few other things. It has to be a sense rom to start.(I understand its a major ordeal to add to nonsense rom). So in short it can't be just installed. Hope this helps.

How do I get the Hero People app?

Hi,
Ive searched several threads but couldnt find any post, or didnt understand everything, and I dont really know the exact name of what im searching for.
Anyway, I have vodafone magic and was on the nk02 r4 ion rom which runs smooth but then I tested the Fatal1ty_Hero-Full_v1.4-signed which was good but crashed all too often and was bit laggy from time to time so I decided to go back to the nk02 r4 ion, BUT now I wonder if there is any way to get these applications to my ion instead (or do i have to install jerpelea wwe hero rom and install them?):
Phonebook (People app?)
Dialer?
The htc-clock ?
The most important app that I really want to use is the phonebook with the facebook & flick integration (photos, status, birthday etc). Can I somehow push them to my nk02 r4 ion?
Also, is it possible/easy to get the xt9 swedish dicitonary from hero/htc to the ion so i can use with phone keyboard?
Thank you,
One lost soul in the android rom jungle
i'd love to figure this out as well, i just need a few cents off the sense ui
As far as have seen until now, not all Hero/SenseUI applications were converted to use on stock android. I have seen the mail app for instance and some turn on/off widgets, but nothing more. However, there are quite a few "remakes" of the widgets in the market, that (nearly) look like the Hero ones. Beautiful widgets, Call Dock Bar, Pure Grid calendar widget, Pure messenger widget, ... to name a few. But you won't get the smooth sense feeling of course!

Syncronization Software from HTC

What do i need to get the HTC Syncronization with outlook working on a pure Android 2.1 without Sense?
I have a HTC HERO and don't want to miss this great feature when using the Vanilain-Rom, for example. Because it seems that other Sync-programs are not that ripely.
i think it is not issue just with HTC, I got X10 running on Android and I am also looking for some sort of solution ..
Please don't missunderstand me. With the official roms of HTC there is a syncronization software included. But there are some custom ROMs witch don't have this great app(s).
I'm searching for a apk or a Update.zip including the HTC syncronization software.
I'm not a dev or an expert, but i believe that there are some framework.res changes that have to be done for these apk's to work properly, and editing the framework isn't just that simple... if that was the case, I'm sure that most people would want the synchronization capability of a ROM with Sense in their own ROM's... and that hasn't happened for that reason...

What HTC messanger version is this?

Does anyone know what version of the HTC messanger is and where I could possibly find a cab file to install it? it's partially installed in the energy rom but when you click all messages it goes back to the default WM one which I don't like, if found the cab for the version that's stock on the HD2 which is of course extremely laggy, this version however is not laggy while keeping the hole contacts linking thing of the HTC messanger.
is there not an update on htc's website?
I wonder about this as well...

That's Manilla messaging that is part of the Sense UI. It's not a fully integrated messaging as you will find in Sense 2.5 roms. NRG removes HTC messaging from his roms but that portion of it can still be accessed when using messages from Sense home screen. It's the same thing with Sense 2.1 for TP2 & earlier devices.
There are full HTC messaging .cabs available in the apps & themes forum, look for the HTC Messaging 2014 thread, but it's not going to look like that.

New HD2 Widgets?

Good morning all,
I did a search on "widgets" and could not come up with what I was looking for so...
I was reading (and watching video) on "pocketnow.com." They showed that you could "long tap" an empty spot on the home page which would allow you to peruse, choose from, and download new icons/widgets for your HD2. They had some spiffy ones on there for mail and other.
Tried it and it did not work. Read into the comments section and they note that it is an andriod phone and may not work on a Tmo-WM-HD2.
Is there a way to get some nice new widgets for preinstalled programs (or other) without flashing the ROM or installing a new CAB?
I assumed there might be just like I can choose an icon on my Windows desktop.
Thanks in advance.
you could just install android or mobile shells.
yeah, like ddgarcia is saying, WM doesn't really have widgets, unless you use CHT/CHTE (which only has a very few available). Based on what you said, I would imagine that the video you were looking at was an android build with sense on it (so it looks rather similar to a WM build with sense).
Android and SPB Mobile Shell (a WM-based replacement for sense) are pretty much the only way to get widgets on to your home screen.
Mate, are you sure you were not looking at Co0kie's Home Tab 1.85?
I appreciate all the responses.
You are indeed correct, it was an android HD2.
I should have noted that.
I was hoping that perhaps so of the same functionality was possible with my TMO-HD2 (WM 6.5).
I have thought about installing Cookie's Tabs, but frankly I dig my stock HD2. I have been having some latency troubles lately, but I think there may be some "gun" in the system that my cleaner is not getting rid of (tmp files, etc.).
I need to clean her out and tune her up!
Thanks all.

Pretty sure he wasn't. He was mistaken when he said the video was showing widgets for the HD2 though.

CHT 1.8 is awesome dude. The quicklinks you get make your phone twice as cool. It's like having an Android WM hybrid. Obviously there are a lot more apps out there for Android but functionality wise CHT makes this phone better...
You do know that you can load Android on your phone with minimal effort, right?
Mate, here is a wicked Android build for you; everything is working fine. This provides a fantastic experience with a Stock HTC Desire Froyo build (HTC Sense etc...).

Read the thread, download the ROM, read the instructions (simple 1,2,3 steps) and enjoy.
Cheers
While I appreciate the kind and well-intended responses...
Me no want Android.
Me like Windows Mobile

Have you thought of trying a maxsense rom? energy maxsense might be whatyou are looking for. There is widgets in maxsense. It is basically a complete rebuild of htc sense.

[Q] HTC Sync (Desktop App) w/HTCHD2 on different NAND ROM

Questions:
Can I use my HTC HD2 loaded with a different NAND ROM on the HTC SYNC Desktop Application to manage my files like iTunes?
If yes, anything that I should look out for, like bugs or something?
I can't seem to find any articles online on how to manage my mass storage device on my phone and how to edit it correctly.
P.S. Sorry if there already is a thread for this, didn't see one. Thank you to everyone on this site that has been really helpful. My new favorite site!
HTC sync only works with sense roms.
For non sense roms, such as cyanogenmod roms (cm7) you can use myphoneexplorer
I used this one, but it doesn't say sense but I am pretty sure that it does just looking at my wifes mytouch 3g that has sense.
Should it work for me?

Yes that ROM has Sense, So if samsamuel is correct(which he usually is then it should work.
Thank you, I will give it a try. I know its not the best thing out there but I am done with Double Twist and Easy Phone Tunes program.
even you can't use it to sync, you still need to install it as driver. otherwise, you can't tether with your phone using usb.
