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?

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.

OK.. Ill give it a shot..
I was just trying to find out if there's a possibility that I wouldn't have to go through this, because all I need is proper exchange support.
Thanks.
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?
Must admit, the Facebook app for the HTC HD2 is pants. Before I had the HTC, I was on Blackberry Storm, and loved the Facebook app, as it used to download my alerts in real time.
But with the HTC HD2 I have to log in each time on the app, and have to refresh the facebook app. Complete rubbish I think.
Anyone know is the Facebook app on the HTC HD2 is going to get any better?
You have an Opera browser and a big screen -make use of it!
Where's the point in using a stupid app for things that are way easier directly in the browser?
I find the app quicker, and more convenient! Well it was on the Blackberry Storm anyway...
hey dude, i know how you feel... i was a bit dissapointed with the facebook app at first but then i waited for a while, i tryed looking for a alternative third party app but nothing was any good, then i found a CAB on here for the new facebook for resistive screen phones, someone had made it work with HD2 and it works great, much better than the old one
i did a review of it on my youtube channel, you should check it out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7dDxLrP2GI
Actually the constant need to log in is a bug. Everytime I flash a ROM, one of the first thing I do is to run the Facebook app, and tick the save login option. After that it never asks for login again....but you'll still have to refresh manually. I'm guessing it's more of a conflict with another installed apps or just general winmo weirdness.
Otherwise, yeah, the apps is pretty pathetic.
FB
Does anyone else have the problem that it saves the pics from Facebook into an album on the device memory, and then when you go into your albums you have tons and tons of albums because each pic is saved as an album?

I have the option "save details" ticked, but I have to type in my details everytime. Hence why I get frustrated!
Im using m.facebook.com for the time being, until HTC sort the facebook app out.

First; there are other people who also have the problem with FB not "saving" the login info.
Do a quick search and see if they've found a solution.
Second; http://touch.facebook.com might be more to your liking..
m.facebook.com is fine for Nokias, but the touch.facebook.com page is made for "iPhone-like" devices like our HD2.

That's why...it works only if you do it before installing too many other apps....so if u ever reflash a ROM, make sure logging into facebook and saving details is one of the first things u do.

Can you tell me where to find this fix, i found the one that requires using the registry editor but there are at least 60 folders with anywhere from 1 to 4 photos in each.
they are only little thumbnails as well
they way i read the registry tweak, it says to input each individual folder in...
The HTC Facebook ALbum hotfix (just installed) does not stop it downloading tiny pics from FB of all your contacts.
As from the HTC site:
restores the ability to view your friends’ photo albums
This suggests its related to privacy settings, and the app's ability to now process that correctly.
(i.e. able to view them online, but app wouldn't allow you to)
Can you point me in the direction of the registry fix for it?
Hi, my available device memory is down to 18mb, and I haven't really stored much there. Could it be due to the Facebook app, which keeps storing the pics in Device Memory? In that case, how do I free up this space?
In HD2 General go to Hints page and do what is sudgested in No:64 than install an App called ClearTemp in the Menu click sellect all and and clean once a day at least.it will take just a few seconds.
Edit::looks on the hint page is not cleare enough".
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
Add a new string: Name – Facebook Cache,
Value – \temp\imagecache
That should be \fbimagecache
and it worked.
Thanks for that.
So this will be my first Android mobile, I want to believe this phone was the best choice for this platform.
Moving from Windows Mobile (HTC HD2), so this is a new chapter in my mobile phones experience live
Not at all a noob, just want to receive some advices, where to start, if is a must to update the stock firmware, if XDA is the best community for Android (as is for WM), to meet the GS community
HD2 was my ex-phone 2
well dont rush to flash anything the moment u get ur phone do some reading here
try rooting it unlocking the market find a way to keep your contacts sync with gmail all the time if u gone play around with firmwares alot
then try the samset rom u will like it (its fixed now i think) prepare to brick the phone alot but dont warry u cant actualy brake it and if u realy like to do more try the lagfix on the stickies
u will be busy for a week or so
have fun with ur new mob
Thank you, I'm a little excited, 1 hour ETA for my new phone
On my HD2 I used a lot Microsoft Myphone who automatically sync my contacts, SMS, pictures with their web site.
I know that I can sync wit Gmail, but is there a solution for SMS ?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tv.studer.smssync Sms sync
http://www.appbrain.com/app/app.calltrack phonelog sync
i dont know if they r bidirectional though but having the data at gmail works for me
oh and install appbrain too syncs your applications
Get latest firmware, root it, do the speed fix, edit gps.conf (use search of the forum for all I've said)
Before you do all the stuff install the Clockworkmod Recovery.
instead of doing all of the above, i suggest you to try the phone stock, out of the phone for a week or 2 at the very least, and then see really what you want to change from stock.
that's what i'm doing.
know your phone, before you start modding it.
i did the same for my old HTC Athena, and for my car as well
but in my car i kept it mostly stock until 10 yrs has passed, now i'm going nuts with the mods
Got the phone, amazing screen colors, already rooted and with latest firmware (Froyo), good speed, nice interfaces, many apps
Short question: I have the contact now synced with Gmail and also one of them with Facebook. I want in the contacts to see the Facebook picture not the one in in Gmail . How (I hope is possible) can I do this ?
Froyo?
too short...

Don't get paranoid Maybe he just made a mistake.
http://github.com/jubishop/Facebook-for-Adobe-AIR
Source code for Facebook client for Adobe Air
We have air for Froyo now.
Is it possible to compile into android air apk for a GOOD Facebook client?
For the love of God, please.
technically if it were developed using adobe's software tools and is sourced for AIR it shouldn't be hard to port in to an .apk i guess we shall see...
Have you actually tried Facebook for Air? It's just a news feed and status bar. No other features. It is worse than Android Facebook.
Plus, AIR apps must be optimized for mobile. This one wouldn't be too hard to optimize if you have all the code, but it isn't just BOOM throw it into Flash CS5 and BOOM export to APK.
i was really hoping for something good out of this...facebook for android is downright HORRIBLE. I don't understand why the iphone version has not been put to use on android, considering there are more android running devices than ios.
Well, from the other apps I have converted, this should be easy.. will report back soon!
-edit
not sure if this will work as is, with the popup to login and all.. but I will try

In the past few months, the facebook for android app has gotten infinitely better. It's almost on par with the iphone version now. What is it that you all feel is missing that would be remedied with this version? Just curious.

The fact that when you get a notification it takes you to the mobile site is a big issue, unless I'm missing something. That just seems like they got lazy in their design because you can view all of your updates manually. Also a lack of IM feature also kind of sucks. It's got a nice look to it, but the iphone facebook app is much better.

cant tag them either
can't get push notifications either. you have to keep refreshing your app.
if you click the "messages" tab too quickly and pick a thread you were already messaging someone in, it shows up blank and you have to restart facebook... sooo frustrating
My biggest gripes are no push notifications, no tagging, no picture commenting, no liking statuses, and no "places" functionality.

i think facebook is just doomed for android lol
The biggest gripe I have is previously on my Dream(G1 for AT&T Canada) they ported the nexus facebook app over- which is the same app with a few more features. They had the ability to Sync your pictures/updates with contacts in your phone. It worked like the official twitter app works. On our phone its just plane broken. If you uninstall-reinstall the app and go through the setup it will give you a "finish" button after signing in the first time. If you hit your back button on the touchpad you will see the contact sync. Sad thing though is its just broke. If you Go to your accounts sync in settings you will see the SNS setings up top then the Facebook down below your Gmail. If you click on it though nothing happens- on my Dream it went back into the facebook app's sync settings.
I also agree with the other points people have brought up on no comments on pics etc. The app will eventually be updated for the Galaxy but until then we just have to live with crap. I decompiled the app back in the day and wanted to modify it a little bit but never got around to actually doing it. If I was to modify the Official Android app, would this violate copyrights? Is it based under GNU licensing? I have seen "Colored" versions of the Official app in the market and wondered if they were violating terms by selling a black version of the exact same app? Anyone care to shed some light?
Sorry to go off topic but BOOMER

I just tested this on my Captivate running Cog 2.2B7 with no issues. I can see all the profile pics from FB in my contact list. When I open the FB app I can "like" wall posts and comment on pictures.

So youre telling me you see this: (pictures are in order according to my post on how to get there)
http://wtfokc.com/sef****/0.pnghttp://wtfokc.com/sef****/2.pnghttp://wtfokc.com/sef****/3.png
This is what happens on my Cog2.2 B7. I reinstalled fresh, get the first sign in, then I get "Finish". If you hit your back button you then get the Sync options. This function however doesnt work for me and hasnt on any of the Rom's Ive tried so far on teh captivate. I have read a lot on it and it appears to be a problem on all the Galaxy devices. If yours is working, I'd like to know how?
Only thing I can think is you have your SNS settings setup? Those are the ones in Account/Sync options at the Top -> Facebook, Myspace, Twitter. If so, they will auto sync pictures and junk for you- however it loses links very often- or did for me in previous versions of cog. I would get wall posts and pics in my contacts.. then next day I'd only get twitter, if I got any at all. Also my contacts would lose thier pictures and wouldnt let me re-add or associate them again. I would try over and over to reconnect the contacts to FB and couldnt unless I totally removed the account and reset it. This hap'd multiple time for me. It was rather craptastic syncing and aggravating..so I stopped using the built in SNS accounts all together and just use the official apps now. Only downfall is Facebook's sync doesnt work, twitter's however does.
I will be uploading my rom very shortly. I believe this is the right section, I am not a dev yet....but the devs have said that ICS can't synch facebook from what I have heard and that it requires Haxsynch to work.
I don't have my contacts setup perfectly at the moment so I haven't got it to synch contacts properply, but so far it has synched something, it has synched all Calendar from facebook and messages and it is opperating the facebook interface within Android like on any other samsung phone
Can someone tell me a decent screen capture app for SGS running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 RC 3.0?
I also have all SNS accounts work, Twitter, Alternate email and even Server
Will be testing and adding up results soon. It's late here in Australia and I am preparing my ROM of ICS to be ready for Uploading here.
Thanks,
James
Interesting... You used romanbb's fix?
Btw ICS comes with screenshot capability iirc?

I am sort of new here:
Here is the details of my ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21463927#post21463927
Do you have to be an approved dev to a ROM in this section?
I have my thread up in general thats all
just a quick add to bump this cause I know I am very close now. Has anyone been able to get this to work? I have actually got full facebook profiles showing up in my contacts list along with all the details, phone numbers emails etc, the last thing remaining is the picture? anyone further ahead than this?
Facebook sync is working. Didn't realise that I had it going all along? All that was wrong was the permissions on the init.d script? You would think that the "fix permissions" command would actually work however it does not. I used Android Commander to change it cause it was blatantly obvious that it was wrong when the file icon looks different. Will have to give big thanks to the dev of android commander just for this alone

Are you serious? I think I pulled those links to my first revision of the ROM. I havent even uploaded the fix for the sync issues yet lol. But I did do a complete pull of my system (systemdump) cause I had ran out of space….somehow removing apps didn't allow for more room? I would pull an app and couldn't put it back. I even pulled like 6 apps and then still couldn't put back the framework, so rather than reboot I just did a system dump and then dragged the 20mb of .so files that I added to try get facebook sync and several other things working and sure enough FB syn stopped working, but allowed me to put my framework back and get my phone online again. That being said I added back what .so files could have been needed and still no sync? Hmmm that means there is an .so file that I bet no one has even considered being necessary and it IT IS!
I now have to play a game of trial and error till I find out which one it is. I am contemplating restoring my system before system dump and then pulling a whole **** tin of apps that I would normally like or need and then keeping sync and then one by one pull files from libs directory until FB sync stops working. Then re-add all the apps I want back up to stock. That will give me a clean ROM to work with.
