Htc picture widget on rooted phones - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I searched through pages in development but couldn't find anything on it is there a way to make the picture widget to work on CM7?

No htc widgets will work on cm7. They rely on the sense frameworks.
You cant even use the sense widgets on stock rom if you use a different launcher.

Thanks, any widgets similar to the one i am looking for that can be doeloaded from market where you can swype to change pictures

Not that im aware of, if i use one at all, its the stock one that only lets you pick one picture.

Contacts App

Hey,
Ive been searching for a contacts app similar to native one from HTC Desire which is perfect but slightly slow when browsing. I havent found any yet. I love Handcent SMS instead of the native app. So is there something similar for browsing and managing contacts?
There is a Contacts app and widget similar to the HTC one with the pay version of LauncherPro.
Try Dialer One.
I have LauncherPro but there is only a widget which is great. I will try the Dialer One
Dialer One is slightly slower when browsing contacts. Probably due to loading pictures at contacts but it is great app...
hello,
I dont wanna open an new thread so maybe you cann help me:
I've seen an launcherpro people widget with an kind of glass effect, maybe you guys can help me, how to implement/change these in launcherpro plus?

HTC Dialer and Contacts on Non-Sense rom

Is there any way to put HTC Dialer and Contacts application to non-sense rom, such as cyanogen mod?..
Because for me stock dialer and contacts application are awful, and I can't find any another applications as good, as made HTC..
Is it possible?
Try DialerOne.
Thanks, DialerOne is good..
And what about screen during call, with horizontal slider, is there another one in Sense style?
In response to installing HTC's Dialer and Contacts apps, it can't be done.
Any update on this ? Getting the HTC Sense dialer and contacts on a rooted EVO w/ CM 6.1 ?
The default Android in all black sucks, compared to the nice Sense dialer.

You cannot use HTC system apps on Google devices because they use totally different frameworks and other stuff. It would be so much easier to build an app that is similiar to HTC than to use the original HTC apps.
alternate Programs to Sense UI ones
For those of us that know that the sense applications cannot be used on non-sense roms, I beleive the true question is where is a list of the best HTC replacement apps. Most importantly for the dialer and the contacts but also for other things like the calendar and weather/clock etc.
I know HTC does this on purpose so that they can have specific things about their phones that are better than the standard phones on the market. But it seems like if the apps were replicated and then still used on HTC phones that it wouldn't be an issue. Just my rant anyway. But the main deal is just having a comparable apps list since the sense apps HAVEN'T been replicated outside of sense. Anyone?
im kinda surprised no one commented on this. fwiw, i just downloaded the Dialer One app and I'm kinda digging it.
I switched from HTC One to AOSP-driven phone, and Google dialer is an ergonomically disaster.
Any news on best HTC-like dialer replacement?
(Dialer One seems not exist anymore)

How to get the Desire HD/Z widget in other builds?

i was running desire hd 3.4 for the last couple of days but today i decided to switch to froyo sense 2.4.2 because the camera is working on that build.
now i would like to know if it's possible to get a updated sense on that build. there are some nice features missing. like the preview of themes, a lot of themes, background pictures and especially some nice widgets and the feature to see all htc wigets in one place.
especially i am looking for the data-connection and settings widget which comes in bar-style (setting, wifi, mobile-data, sync, bt, etc.). is it possible to get it somewhere? it was pretty convenient compared to the single button widgets i found on the market.
thx a lot!
u cant. HTC sense is complicated. u either have it or u dont. at least for now...
that's sad. does anybody have a suggestion for a bar-like-settings-widget. sorry for my english.
I know what you are talking about. There are a few out there. Try "extended controls" in the market. It's also built into CM 6.

try launcherProPlus widgets
thanks for your suggestions. i'll give those widgets a shot.

Have you tried the "Power control" widget? I do use LauncherPro, but I don't think it's specific to that.
Go to the market and search for "SwitchPro". It's awesome, and you can customise the appearance, actions, and number of buttons. Easily better than the power widget included with froyo.

[Q] HTC contacts widget for gingerbread lookalike?

Ok, i'm sure this has been asked before, and sorry if it has but iv searched everywhere and cant find an answer.
Is there any widget that is similar to the HTC sense contacts widget?
Closest i'v found is Launcher Pro's contact widget but I can't find a flashable/instalable APK or similar.
[edit]
Also why im here, is there a way to flash or install the origional gallery (non 3D)<<sucks!
Any info or insite would be brilliant, thank you.
Oxygen v2.0-RC6

Photo contacts widget is the closest. Launcher pro widgets are also great, but are a part of Launcher pro plus. So there is no seperate apk. If you want to use them you have to buy Launcher pro.

I am using Launcher pro and it is excellent, only paid about £1.80 so well worth the money, you also get a friendstream replacement
hope this helps

[Q] Extract Locations app & Photo widget from Sense Roms?

Hi guys!
I'm on a Sense Rom for quite some time, but it gets slower and slower.
So I wanted to start over again with a clean non sense rom. But I would really miss two things:
The Photo widget, where you can switch through your pictures with your finger right on the home screen
and
the Locations app, because I have a lot of Footprints.
Is it possible to extract these two things and install them as an apk on another Rom?
Maybe, but I doubt they will work correctly without the sense framework/services?

I agree not work properly
I guess the only way to verify that is to give it a try! Maybe those framework/services files can be extracted, too.
