I have a HTC Desire and I recently installed a Gingerbread ROM with Oxygen, and I really miss the HTC flavour. Is there any way I could have HTC Sense or at least the stock apps back on this rom?
P.S.: I hope that I didn't post in the wrong place...
The gingerbread Rom is an ASOP Rom, sense programs will not runn as they need the associated HTC files also, if you run a sense Rom with another launcher over it you will see the programs will run but the widgets won't load, again they will only work with the sense launcher. You can get apps that replicate the look. Get Beautiful/fancy widgets for the clock, but the best is to get launcher pro and pay for the extra, the widgets are very similar

I found those apps in a rom, and as you said, it ain't work... It doesn't even install, only the camera app which crashes.. I wanted HTC Music back, but, fortunately, I found the Honeycomb leaked Music app, so it's cool.

The Sense contact app won't work. Try SyncMyPix from the Android Market insread. Perhaps it can help.

Or get this dialer, it enables the FB picture sync + HTC Dialer style quick dial :

Why can't the HTC widgets (calendar) be used with ADW? I'm not a huge fan of sense but I am a huge fan of the HTC calendar widget.
Does anyone know why the HTC calendar widget cant be used with ADW or is it possible to get the apk? I like the ADW launcher the most but would like to have the HTC widget does any one know if this is possible.
HTC widgets are tied to Sense, can't be done. Get LauncherPro he has sense-like widgets

Adw doesn't support it...and HTC doesn't want its widgets used with anything other than Sense....I would suggest using Launcher Pro Plus....they have widgets just like the Sense ones.....
Sent from my HTC VISION using XDA App
Thanks for the info.
There is an app called smooth Calender in the market. It is pretty much identical to the HTC calendar. Widget. And it is customizable.

Everything "Sense" is tied into the sense framework and isn't usable in a rom that is not sense based. Widgets, apps, etc.
I like the jorte calendar over the sense one. Might give it a view.

Are you on cm6? sense?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Install LauncherPro. It is a home replacement that is a substitute for sense. With it you will be able to adjust how many homescreens you want.
Will installing that kill my HTC Sense?
is there a way to do this on cm6 with adw?

it will not. it should be pretty easy to switch back to sense if you don't like how things are looking with launcherpro. Chances are, you'll never look back.

It wont kill the Sense integration with the phone, but it will kill the Sense widgets.

great thanks
Thank you. I like launcher pro and the only widget I liked was that clock with the weather. But love having fewer screens, thanks again.

no problem man.
yea i know what you mean about missing the htc widgets, my gf felt the same thing about her aria too, until i set up her phone to look like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9353039&postcount=205
she really like it and didn't even think about weather anymore lol
if you really want that sense look, there are other widgets that can replicate the same thing... search for fancy widgets. BeautifulWidgets is also a good alternative.

that's what i did last night. installed LP over HTC Sense 2.2 Froyo. reduced the number of screens and i like LP because they add unread email notifications over the gmail app icon. it's cleaner and customizable.
Are there deodexed versions if htc apps that we can run in different roms like miui?
Like the weather app or flashlight app, I don't mean widgets because I know that's not possibl

Also HTC keeps them locked down a.k.a there there not open source thats why u cant use them with ADW or any other home replacement. I hope that helps you understand it a little more
[PROJECT] Port Phonebook/Dialer & SMS app from ARC to Froyo ROMS - HELP NEEDED NEARLY
If anyone is interested in helping out with this, i'd like to be able to port these over, even if just the SMS app works, looks alot better than the android defaults.
CAN THIS BE MOVED BACK TO DEV, NEED SOME HELP CHECK PAGE 3
Hey how about doing it in other way, making android apps looks like SE apps. I was able to change Dialer Contacts and Settings apk. I'm trying to change the Mms and improve the Contact apk in the future.
You are aiming for hi-res contact images also? It is quite nice, but it is shame that google still in its gmail has 160*160 pics, and in their forums are no signs of progress about evolving this thing despite the requests from other gmail users. I am using gmail as primary sync source and those small streched out pics on x10 apps looks kind of commandore/amiga style like. Btw if the pictures are synced from facebook. Who decides the resolution of the pics. Phone contact app settings or FB app sync service?

Hmm you cant really replicate it witht he stock apps epecially the SMS app that has no hope lol
Yeah it's hard
As far as i know the SE phonebook is linked to Timescape. Without TS the phonebook will FC on 2.1, so you'd have to totally re-write the app rather than port it.

Not sure about that ive removed timescape from all my prevous roms with no problems, the feature in phonebook to sync just doesnt show, then if you want facebook sync you can set it in the facebook app settings

Until i´ve jumped to 2.2, still in 2.1, i always removed Timescape and never had any problem with SE phonebook because of that.
It would be awesome if we could port the SE messaging app, that thing is beastly, way better than the stock

Might be just me then. When I tried it, it was some time ago, and my contacts were already synchronized to TS when I uninstalled it

lol i hated the stock sony messaging app... a thread with 4.5k+ messages takes forever to open. and whenever i sent a long message my phone would just freeze and restart. handcent is much better
I really liked the stock 2.1 dialer contact + message apps! They were freakin sexy with the Honeycomb theme... (Also without)
If someone would port this, I would buy a beer for him.
Will give it a shot, but like i say, it will prbably go horribly wrong lol
Why don't you guys just use Arc's apks found in arcs system dump? No need to port or anything..
Just install phonebook.apk and infiniteview.apk for contacts

link please?
I'll move this to general for the momment, if any development occurs please PM me so I can move it to a proper forum.
Can anyone explain to me, the reason why an apk won't install in this example:
* I extract Facebookchat.apk from lets say coredroid rom. I try to install it on my phone which is running Black Ice rom. But it just keeps saying "application didn't install" I thought an apk would install universally as long as it's compatible, which it should be right? I just wanted the Facebook chat on this rom. It's happened with other apk files too, but then it will let others from the coredroid install on here?

Copy the apk to system
Set permissions to r/w, r, r
Then move it to app folder in system
Reboot
HTC apps won't install on phone that doesn't have HTC framework.
If you'll force them on it, they won't work anyway.
APKs aren't universal. There are framework-dependent APKs.
Yes, I just tried and it didn't work. I can live w/o fb chat, but I really like to have it. So there is no way Jack_R1?
Sent from my Black Ice'd Glacier using xda premium
They have fb chat in market i believe.
You can wait a bit and stay with Gingerbread Sense, and when Desire HD and Desire S get their ICS Sense - it'll shortly come here, and you'll be able to enjoy it together with FB chat. Currently all the ICS builds are crappy/buggy anyway.

2 of them, specifically, Facebook Messenger and Friendcaster has a "chat" option. plus there are things like IM+ that are a all in one service.

Actually I have used Friendcaster Pro for over a year, and just discovered the chat application, and it's basically just like FB chat..thanks.Also I have been thinking lately, Im not sure why I flash different Roms, as I am addicted to Go Launcher and the Go Keyboard. But the Black Ice with Go launcher combo is awesome together.
As for the ICS Roms, I too find them kinda too buggy for my liking at this point, and I truly am not complaining because I know devs work very hard on them. But I did try the creamed glacier and it looks cool as sh!t.
