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, I am currently running Cynogen 4.0.4 on my rooted Mytouch 3g. I used the one-click method to root it. I also downloaded the 4.1.11.1 to my computer just incase. Do you guys think I should go to the 4.1? Is is the same? How do I upgrade and will I lose all of my apps if I upgrade?
I was also considering to just go back to stock because Cynogen got stopped. Will Cynogen ever be making new Roms? If not should I be going back to stock because I just want to have the newest features and updates but still have a fast phone.
Just one more question now about settings, I have the Hero keyboard but I activated the touch vibration when I type and now I want to disable it. Everytime I disable it I start typing and it comes back. How can I fix this? Thank you.
You can't upgrade to Cyan 4.1 at the moment as he has taken his downloads offline because of the legal dispute with Google.
I would recommend RogersRom 1.5 (see my signature) if you want a fast rom with Cyan's kernel, compcache, betterbrower etc. personally I would not go back to stock as the mods made by the devs here at xda are worth keeping.
Not sure about your keyboard vibrating ... have you enabled haptic feedback in Spare Parts? You might need to turn it off in there as well as in the touch input settings.
Haptic feedback is DISABLED so I don't know what the problem is. I will just uninstall and reinsatll the hero keyboard. And just to be sure Cynogen is done completely with roms? If so are there any other good roms besides Rogers that are not hero. And how do you install a new rom on top of the Cynogen one I have? Thanks for you help.
to change roms just wipe and flash over it. as for Cyanogen I don't think he's stopping anytime soon. check out his website..cyanogenmod.com
read his updates,
he's still in full force.
There are several ways to get the cyanogen roms =P... Just do some search =P...

i m using HTC wildfire with foryo 2.2 version. i am not able to enable live wallpapers, pl guide me how can i do this. also do i need to root my cell first or not?
It's not supported on official 2.2. So yes, you will have to root and load a Custom ROM which supports it, like WildPuzzle. (And several others)
You have to root your WF and flash a Custom ROM, nearly all of them support Live Wallpaper...
But do not forget, the CPU/GPU of the WF is not very strong, so a live Wallpaper will slow down your phone !
I believe it is not impossible to enable live wallpapers on stock rooted rom. But who works on a stock rom when they can flash a better custom rom.
Little idea: extract livewallpapers.apk from sense custom roms and make it as a system app on rooted stock rom.
Better root and try. Although other HTC phones have it even without rooting. And another thing is you can expect a superfast battery drain if enabled.

2.3, Live wallpapers and even cpu overclock!

I am such an idiot ;-) Untill I've found the time to dedicate myself to a new ROM, I will continue to mess around in the stock one!
I can confirm that you can get livewallpapers working on the stock Froyo ROM, but not with HTC Sense. So if you want it to work on the wildfire stock ROM you:
- have to be rooted
- have to flash the attached zip trough recovery
- have to use an other homescreen launcher then sense.
Note that it only comes with two wallpapers (the only two I like, but you can remove them like any other app). You can install new ones just by going to the market and search for live wallpapers.
If you want the combination Live Wallpapers and HTC Sense, you:
- have to be rooted
- have to flash a custom ROM as suggested above.

EDIT
Almost forgot: the files in the update.zip are extracted from the WildPuzzleROM_2.2.1 v0.8, so all credits go to danne_jo!
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:

I've tried the solutions above and all ran nicely. a bit of lag with the last one but not a major one.

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.
