Sense UI elements on AOSP?

I am running darchstars AOSP2.1 ROM and I have two questions for any enterprising devs, if they have time or can tell me the way to do it.
1)I went from using the stock keyboard to betterkeyboard back to the HTC keyboard. In better keyboard you can adjust the vibration for each keypress to be short, is there a way I can change the HTC keyboard to that as well? I'm not afraid of the command line, but I have no idea where I might start with this.
2)I much prefer the HTC dialer app, with the smart dialing. Is there a way to use that instead of the stock android dialer, or a different dialer replacement that has similar functionality?
Thanks again for any responses!

Basically what you want is Gumbo Bare on 2.1?

I'm also interested in this. I'm playing around with an Odroid running AOSP 2.1, I've gotten google bits to run on it, I found a package that includes the framework etc, and works exactly like it should. Very easy to install.
Finding a similar package for senceUI would be of interest to me.
The ability to take a vanillia AOSP add any flavor I want, google bits, SenceUI, Moto Blur... or anything else would be very nice IMO. Instead of the current... I like this rom because it has.... but I wish it had..... Put it together like lego blocks.

Well, not really. I'm looking for a way to edit the HTC keyboard haptic feedback if there's a way, and to find a replacement dialer for any AOSP ROM since I personally don't like the stock one. The keyboard is a little more important to me, but I was just hoping somebody might know what I'm looking for.

Look through the 2.1 compatible MetaMorph themes.

All i can suggest is making sure the mods are compatable with version 2012 of sense. The few i've tried work on the aragon rom.
As far as the wallpaper i'm not sure, thought i had a fix but its reported as not working. Its in the thread for aragons rom.

hi,
yeah i did skim through some of the rom threads for anything but it seems like yeah, sense works, but only just you know.
I know its still early days for the tg01 roms and mods so something might work later, im ibnterested to know what noksers planning with lesscro though,
hopefully a bug free/stable 6.5.5 with a fully working front end

I am not sure if you can switch to default or anything, but there are heaps of sms apps on the market, a couple of which are pretty good - once installed you can make it the 'default' app, disable notifications in the htc version and away you go.

Using the stock keyboard
I'm not sure what the old keyboard you were looking for looks like, but I was successful at adding the stock keyboard (with voice input) back as noted in my recent post in the thread titled "Froyo 2.2 Keyboard APK" (post 20).
Sense was was a great improvement for WinMo, but the UI kind of sucks (imho) for Android. I upgraded to the FroyoStone update the other day and it seemed more stable (less SoD, that's for sure). But the HTC junk scattered across the UI ruined it for me.

the darkstone thread has a link for the apk of the kb youre looking for. search don't ask they'll bite your head off

[Q] Has anyone got a link to a fully working 2.3 ROM?

I know this post will anoy alot of people but people jump to conclusions.
This is not a 'which is the best' question its a Which works Question
I want a rom that will work like a new phone out of a box - HTC sense UI and all working.. - No dodgy iphone style theme thing -
Ive been using android 2.2 for 6 months now and its been great but i want to update the OS to 2.3.
Every version of 2.3 i install has problems with the camera or backlight or somthing OR - Theres a 'allmost perfect version' - and theres either
a. no actual link - just a load of crap in the thread aout how good it is with loads of pictures and no actual link -
b. it has a stupid crappy iphone theme skin that it doesent function properly without
c. crashes and wont boot after clock work has done its witch craft!
So my question is -
In your opinion, whats the most stable BEST RUNNING 2.3 ROM that isnt skinned and has sense UI?
I dont care about people's thoughts 'whats cool for me might not be cool for you' - the question is as above!

I suggest not to jump to conclutions ur self and try Ultimate droid 3.3 ir has gingerbread 2,3 running, best speed amongst ANY roms out there, simple but very customisable ui, been using it for 5-6 months and it has never crashed.
tip - get a widget of the sence like clock u wond even feel like missing sence UI

there is no fully working sense rom with 2.3

This animal doesn't exist. There are no 2.3 ROMs running Sense that work "well", they ALL have major issues. This is simply not an option at this point.
Try again next month. Who knows?

all roms are in DEV state. even next month =P

Thankyou - Does the SD card work as an APP directory

Thanks for your feedback - My only question - i downloaded a version of 2.3 - and when i move an app say angry birds to the SD card - it comes up with some bogus application cannot start error - then a load of random numbers - ill log it next time... - But as soon as i move the app to the phone memory, it works - this happens on all card classes... - Google earth also does this aswell as loads of other apps...

Help to find a rom I used

Hi all I am new here.
Anyway I downloaded a rom I think was from here for my wildfire that was a gingerbread one, but I had to reinstall a stock one shortly after I cant remember why now but I did.
Anyway I cant find the original rom I downloaded and have had to put the horible cynogen mod on untill I can find the rom I liked, problem is I cant remember what it was called.
The layout was like a proper android stock layout with the proper desk clock ect, the battery meter looked like that of the Lotus mod and it was the latest version of gingerbread. The closest one I have found upto now is the Lotus Mod.
I am sure it was called somthing like carbon or carbon fibre, somthing along those lines.
Does anyone know what rom it was I cant find it

What exactly is the difference between this rom and cyanogen? Cyanogen is like the exact same. I wish I could be helpful with locating what rom you are looking for but what's the point? What's better about this mystery rom than cyanogen?

Besides, I don't recall any ROM by the name of "Carbon fibre" or something. Closest would be JokerDroid v3 Carbon Edition but that is a Sense 2.2 ROM. If there was one though, I guess it was a kang with paid apps, and hence, removed.

Hi tanks for the reply.
I finaly managed to find it it's the jockerdroid carbon mod
I have had to download the 4.1 version because they have compleatly changed the layout of the latest one with the crap clock and a crap battery meter, had the latest version kept the battery meter and clock from version 4.1 I would have downloaded that.
To me cynogen mod is rubish its got horible looking icons and athat rubish clock I like the original android desk clock with weather that is always on the screen no having to push a buton to get the clock up + it has crap weather thingy I like the original with windsreen wipers and stuff.
I am not knocking the hard work anyone puts in creating thease mods and roms it is just that I dont get on with or like the layout of cynogen mod, I supose it is personal tast but I just dont get on with it.

Your first post is completely flawed in that case. Jokerdroid is a Sense based Android 2.2 FroYo ROM. Not "Stock looking latest version of Gingerbread". And please learn a bit of respect. Simply saying "Cyanogenmod doesn't suit me" is enough. No one wants a run down of your personal likes and dislikes. (Which are worth nothing in any which way)

@OP - cm is stock android. the one you like is skinned one.

Wow, he should definitely have bought an iPhone, the whole point of aosp is to promote creativity.
If you don't like the icons change em......
If you don't like the layout change it.......
If you don't like the clock/weather widget guess what.............. I have cm7 and also have that clock with the original windscreen wipers animation and stuff.
