Amen brother. Unless you have an apk of this,and it might help development with android 2(Link to developing Google apps because of sync api commands in maps app? I don't know.) What I'm trying to say is...don't make a new thread if it has NOTHING TO TO WITH DEVELOPMENT. Thanks.

Seriously. DEV or GTFO.

I kind of disagree; I think this is important for the development section:
It could inspire developers to work a way into porting android 2.0 to G1. It may inspire some genius into converting the g1 into a multi OS system that can switch between a GPS NAV and a Phone, in a simple way “switch Rom”. I left it open without a comment because I rather for everyone to use his imagination and transform this into development!!!

We already got a "demo rom" of sorts....it is based off of Android 2,but no Google apps,wifi, or Bluetooth,for obvious reasons.

I’m aware of that and the problems associated with porting 2.0, but I also believe in the XDA development Team. I would like to remind everyone where we have been and where are we now in terms of android, just imagine flashing back to stock RC 28 .

Just a note to OP, any dev that would even conjure doing this would more than likely look @ android.com or other android related sites with news and other articles just like you linked for us, granted you were trying to share what you have learned, it is completely irrelevant to this forum. Gladly take this thread to a "general"disscussion. Besides its still early look @ 2.0 and will be a bit before we see progress, and was hoping this thread meant somone was porting already, yet, to my dismay another off topic discussion that let my hopes fall to the bottomless pit of irony.
Ty!

Any way to use HTC widgets without Sense?

Yo,
Like many of you, I've noticed that the default android home program is faster than Sense. I miss having my clock and calendar widgets though.
Any way to get them onto default home without going back to sense?
Thanks

No. Search for alternatives.

I'd say thankyou, as I guess technically you answered my question, but there's no need to be blunt or rude about it. I searched this forum and others before I asked my question and asked it in a fairly polite way.
Basically, if you're going to take the time to write a reply, be civil or keep it to yourself.

I think just using another ROM that not using Sense... many of them you can find it here, in development forum.

Ah okay, so do some of the other roms (like Cyanogen etc) have HTC widgets included or did I just completely misunderstand what you said?
Cheers,
Jenan

Hi,
you can use HTC-widgets only with sense. As for the clock and calendar, take a look at beautiful widgets, I like it more than the one that comes with sense. For a calendar-widget, that looks quite as the one from HTC I bought launcher pro plus, the included calendar-widget looks nearly the same way.

Cheers man, I'll check those out. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it

The question is asked over and over. Having said that, I didn't mean to come across as blunt as I did, I'm sorry.

That's fair enough. I just did a quick google to test it, and found that I'd have to dig through a few forums to find an answer. I think what it is is that people ask halfway through other, unrelated, threads, instead of opening a new one.
Swyped from my HTC Legend

Just in case anybody's wondering or searching for this in the future, i've found the best method - for my purposes - of getting the benefits of the android homescreen and sense in one.
An older version of Fancy Widget I found on rapidshare is the only accurate replacement for the HTC flip clock, I believe it's version 1.2.5
Launcher Pro Plus paid edition has great Sense-like widgets that are actually faster and more responsive than the vanilla sense widgets. It's also hugely customisable and eye-bleedingly fast compared to Sense.
Hope that helps anyone who had the same problems as me

Sorry to say that there is a way better clock widget out there.. Take a look at "world forecast&clock"
It has weather animations as well..
This one is no doubt the one that comes closest to original HTC Sense clock

Kernal Sandars
Hey, cut the OP some slack. This is the wrong forum for the post, but at least they didn't spell kernel "kernal"
But seriously, <3me, these sorts of post really do belong in the General discussion forum. Now, if this were a real project underway (as in, in actual development) instead of a wishlist, that's the sort of thing that's good for the development forum.
If everyone starts posting their wishlists in the development forum, this place will get so cluttered (not that this doesn't happen all the time anyways) that it will be difficult to follow the actual projects (custom kernels, distributions, etc).

Ahh, big words. Ok, your not a little baby, your a prepubesent teenage angst with a body count GIRL. Let the mods do their job, quit stomping through threads with dumb crap like that.
Ppl, questions get posted in the dev section all the time. To stop yourself looking like a drooli.g fool, be an ADULT and ignore it; the mods will take care of.
That's what their not paid to do, after all.

I for one would like to see this moved to Development because the OP does have some valid ideas. This is pretty much what I would like in a ROM as well so it would be nice to hear some feedback from some actual Devs rather than just someone who feels like bashing the OP (johnsongrantr).

[Q] htc sense on mytouch?

I was wondering if anyone could help me port htc sense to my mytouch. I know it has been said that it will not work but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to try it out and see.

root the phone, install a custom recovery. Try out the HTC Sense ROM in the G1 section.
Good Day

Wrong section.
Try searching and reading.

Thank you, I will have to check that out. I guess my real question was is it possible to install a .apk of htc sense on top of say, CM 6.1?

Most Sense UI rom system apps you cannot.
They would have to be modified for the Google framework.
It can be done but in most cases it's too much work.
It was done with the HTC Music app but I think that was about it.

I was not aware of that, thought this would be the right section since it is development, guess not. I did search and I did not find any thing that answered my question fully, therefore I went ahead and opened a thread.

No. Wrong. Unless you are developing or planning on developing then everything pretty much goes in General. 90% of questions posts that have a [Q] in the title belong in General (Q&A).
It works like this:
People with unrooted phones and just want information should go to General.
People with rooted phones but have ideas or suggesions should post in that particular rom thread for the developer... NEVER a new thread in Development! Otherwise, General.
Questions, comments or submitting of or about customizations (themes, wallpapers, etc) should go in Themes
Questions, comments or submitting (as long as it's not warez) of or about individual apps from Market should go in Apps.
Questions, comments about sdcards, cases, shields, batteries, etc should go in Accessories.
Safe rule of thumb is if you don't know... post in General.
If you don't know how to compile a rom then you should think twice before posting in Development (since it's specifically towards those that are developing or at least the members that are contributing useful information, walkthroughs, guides, etc).
Pretty simple really.
But if you DO know how to create roms and apps then use apktool to decompile the htc framework and try porting it over. However HTC doens't like to release a lot of their sources so if apktool doesn't work then it'll probably be easier for a developer to start by making his/her own as an imitation. Just don't blame XDA if you get sued.

Ok thank you for clearing that up, I will see if I can figure it out and let you know if I sucessfully port it over. BTW I love the community hero mix, I don't think I really even need to try to find a way to make sense work now that I have it, but I am still intrigued Thank you for making it, it is awesome

Nope. Actually, flashing a ROM using recovery should never brick a phone. Worse case scenario, it'll throw you into a boot loop, but then you just boot back into recovery and flash another ROM.
And most G1 ROM's will work for myTouch 32B owners, since a 32B myTouch is basically a G1 without the physical keyboard.

[q] Glacier WP7?

What would it take to get a working windows phone 7 rom onto this device? I don't know anything about WP7 dev, but have been dying to try it and this phone is more than capable of handling the load, it's just a matter of if it would jive and such.
Any thoughts comments, etc?

If you truly want the w7 feel you should use desktop Visualizer I think... go to the themes section they have a guide on how to theme your android to something VERY similar... as far as actually porting a rom... think that's prolly a little too much coding and work considering if someone wanted it that bad they likely would have just bought it as such...
