PORTING Hero apps to Magic..

Is there anyway to do this?ive tried puching the apps and extra lib.so files in but no joy? Would i need to edit the manifest files?
I mean the apps and NOT the widgets

Good luck w/ this.
I've tried to directly push applications from HERO port builds on several occasions, using different methods.
I wanted HTC Peep, tried to push it with ADB, etc. NO GOOD!
I wanted Footprints, tried to push it as well, also NO GOOD!
Along with the Flash Player and numerous others. Typically, as I'm sure you're aware, the application is quite ingrained within the firmware or build version; making it difficult to find a way to force it to function properly elsewhere.
I'm no expert. However, this might be a lost cause depending on which applications you're wanting to give a shot.
Good luck boss.

Thanks for the response i was starting to think it is worth posting in development and risk a ban! Rather than wait for a response here.
Mainly i want to get the HTC Weather app onto a cyanogen ROM.Just because i find it alot more accurate than any on the market, Plus the look of it from my old blackstone god rest her soul.
Has anyone tried porting parts of magic to hero?

Sorry was on my friends comp and forgot o sign myself in

sadly to say a lot of the apps on hero are used and or deeply apart of rosie.apk. Thus meaning its pretty much reliant on rosie unless extracted the right way without rosie. The framework for rosie is so compiled so complex i get confused lol. If we can destroy it and build it from pebbles then maybe, Till then, the apps belong to rosie. sorry.... fosho. . . .

Erm...what's Rosie?

I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.

do you know any good ones?

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.

Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?

lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.

which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I thought I recognized you from PPCG!
I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.

lol you got the hero too?

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.

I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

Yep, they banned me over something dumb, and i didnt feel like fighting them, plus since i have a Hero now they are useless.

can someone tell me how to make roms and stuff like that for the hero maybe a guide or video on it? thanks

Good to know! I'll check it out. I've got quite a bit of catching up to do. Looking forward to your ROM as well.

LOL! I sort-of banned myself. The Hero forum there is pretty lame. I still have friends there and at EDTP but I don't spend much time there anymore.
Alright!

Any chance of getting Moment Rom to work on Hero?

Just wondering if anybody has tried to get a Sprint Moment rom to work on Hero? (following the thread of making Hero a vanilla Android )
PS.. JBQ announced that he released some of the android 2.0 source code.
Thanks

Why not just delete SenseUI? Im pretty sure that would be a lot easier.

There is absolutely nothing in the Moment to warrant doing the work

If that were possible -- including getting rid of all the bloat HTC added to the dialer, People app, etc. -- I would do it in a heartbeat, myself. As it is, completely stripping SenseUI has proven to be impossible.

Try this - Kill the Sense process, delete all the data for HTC Sense in applications/settings. Hit the home key and see if you can set "Home" as the default.
After that - root the ***** and kill off the bloat using the guides posted here

I'm pretty sure you could remove enough of it, or else the gutted ROM wouldn't be on here....

interesting. I want the DivX/Avi support the Moment has.

That would have been nice, but i already re-coded all the media i wanted on my phone. I just used Visual Hub's(Mac program, btw) default settings for the iPhone and they look great.

Would it be possible to run MOTOBLUR on the Hero?

Just wondering if anyone had tried porting it or anything like that. That would be neat.

Go ahead and try it. Let us know how it works out for you...

I'll try and fiddle around with it.

There was a thread about it and someone was working it, but its under all these topics. Would be nice to have though.

I don't think any true "porting" would be necessary. If we were to push/pull the right apks/libs, it would probably fire right up. They have a system dump of the Motorola Enzo in the general Android development forums that I was looking at last night... the system/app directory seemed to contain multiple apks related to the blur interface...
I didn't look to far into it... unsure if it'll run on 2.1 currently. I'd rather work on porting Windows Mobile Classic.

I attempted and got it booting, but didn't have time to fix the issues.
Once we get FriendStream I think blur is useless.

Maybe, but FriendStream honestly kinda sucks compared to MotoBlur in my opinion. Not as feature rich.

do they even have motoblur yet running on anything 2.1? Don't think the droid has it...

If you are going to try. Go download s_blur on the G1 forums, it would give you a good starting base, then take it appart pull its kernel out, put our kernel in.
I had to stop when I was having issues with my linux liveCD and using CPIO. Can't unpack/repack the files with out that. and for some reason it just wouldn't work for me. I was going to try again one day because it would be cool.
But anyways:
Once you get our kernel in it, it will boot. but just about everything force closes.

Where do you get FriendStream?

?, I haven't found it to be anymore feature packed (From what I tried on the Moto Backflip), FS is more compacted whereas MB is split (widget wise).

I think its better split up cause if you follow a lot of people its hard to manage that with FriendStream, I dont know.

if it was possible to port onto the HTC Touch then its possible for our phone it just requires a dev with the knowhow and the demand for such a rom. lets be honest as much as our devs love to tweak their phones they also need some love in the form of donations because this work isnt easy. I was building my own roms for my Touch before the Hero came along and it was tedious work. That said if its ever done I will try this out as I just bought my girl a Moto Cliq and she seems to LOVE it. I honestly tho will never buy another phone that isnt made by HTC

I was fiddling around with this too. I got it to boot and connect to Sprint.... but that's all I got it to do.

You act like that's a bad thing. I know nothing about building roms, but a start is a start. Anyhow, a blur rom would be awesome to have. I personally like the look of motoblur.

I had this running on the touch vogue when it first came out. It's ok but sense is way better for me and really don't do the social networking thing. Now if it had anti-social networking I'd be using it right now.

Need this apk Made installable

I need this apk made into an installable one. It's the digital clock widget from the SGS2 but won't install in my HD2.

Not sure how to do that, but there's a chance that it needs touch wiz. Much like sense widgets need sense to work.
I'll give it a go though. If it works I'll let you know.

Nan, not this widget. I was using Launcher Pro instead of TW and the widget was still usable. Others weren't, though.

bump......

I've poked it around here and there, extracted it, signed it and repacked it, but seems my froyo doesn't like it. but I'm not a dev, so I might have done something wrong.
there's also a chance that it works only on gingerbread, I've a few apps that would only work on certain gingerbread builds.
sorry I couldn't be of help.

Yes the SGS2 is TW 4.0 which is Gingerbread dependent unfortunately

I'm using Gingerbread in my HD2 so I should be able to this widget. It isn't TW dependent but did have an odex file, which I didn't copy.

Wanna post it anyway and see if anyone with GB can install it ?
