Does anyone know where I can get the notes widget for sense my 4.0 rom. It comes with notes preinstalled but lacks the widget. I really really want it and I have looked everywhere and I can't find it. I have tried taking the apk from other roms but it says application not installed when I try to install it.

From what I saw, Sense 4.0A's Notes is a wrapper of Evernote (shown in the Account section as Evernote for HTC Sense,) but apparently incomplete as it lags behind the official Evernote app in terms of features, one of them is the lack of widget (Evernote has a dedicated widget app in Google Play, but it works with the official app only.) Different ROMs' apks probably based on different versions of Notes, thus they will not work in your ROM.
either stocks weight ,i think your ROM is sense4a port one V.if you really want notes weight,you can flash sense 3.6

Hey. I think my question is mostly around locking down apps somehow.
I have an N7 and i want to be able to give it to girls when they come over to play games, browse the web, Facebook etc.. Can anyone recommend the best way to hide all my stuff? I wanna load it with tonnes of games (all the stuff i bought but never played) but still have an app or two on there for me. Evernote, gmail etc.
I have chameleon and nova launchers, figured in nova i can hide apps but they can just be shown again via the options menu.. There's no password option.
Im running stock jb, rooted.
My only other thought is to manually backup>verify>uninstall via titanium apps like Gmail, then manually restore when i want them??
I searched for app lockers but most seem to be poorly maintained / aren't compatible with jb or are easily bypassed by the recent menu..
Does anyone have any suggestions for a device i can safely share with other people?

This is why I like Go Launcher:
It has a Running Apps section in the App Tray
You can hide apps
You can lock the desktop (nice for kids so they don't screw up your mojo)
While I don't personally use Go Launcher, it is pretty high in features and functionality. It has folder support in both the App drawer and desktop, themeable, and attractive. Sure you CAN unlock apps through options, but they'd probably never find it.
Somewhere I saw a profile manager where you could setup different users with different launchers, wallpapers, and apps. Might be worth checking out.
Go launcher also collects more data than it needs.
Remember CIQ? Yeah like that...

Yeah profile management would be perfect, like a login on a PC.. there was some mention of google getting a patent for this based on face recog but.. I might do a search to see if there is secure profile management somewhere..

Thanks for the tip. I'm wary of those premium but free apps sharing info >_< plus having paid for nova (albeit on the 25c sale) and chameleon, i'd rather find an option that uses those..

CM10 (and other ROMs I am sure) also have the profile options. It sounds exactly like what you're looking for.

You can try app protector apps. You can lock it down with a pin

I would try a Profile Manager, one for kids/missus, one for you.
Then you can easily switch between them as and when you need.
ZDBox has an app locker which seems to do the job for me.

Yet to try those apps but so far the best solution I've found is to "freeze" the apps in Titanium Backup
It moves the links from the launcher.. every launcher, as if they arent there at all.
There seems to be a batch defrost/unfreeze option, but I'm not sure if theres an easy way to re-freeze a set of apps..
Not sure if titanium backup has a PIN / password option though.. but it would be complicated for a non-tech user to figure out how to unfreeze apps in Titanium Backup..
You could try SwitchMe. It basically reboots the tablet when you switch users. Each user can have their own apps, etc.
App lock could be worth a look.
Freezing in titanium is my solution and works great for that purpose unless she's an android nerd and you pissed her off enough for her to install titanium and thaw out your frozen apps.

You should def look into hide it pro. I've been using it for a while n love it. It gives a fake crash report dialogue to unlock apps n hides pics n videos

All-in-one Patch for Missing Sense Apps, Widgets, and Plugins
Hello everyone
The new HTC 10 is marvelous, and Sense 8 is really good and smooth.
As you all should know, Sense 8 is much cleaner and more close to stock Android, HTC removed tons of goodies from the old Sense.
Some of them are available on the Play Store, so it should be no problems..... but.....
How about those which cannot be downloaded
To be honest, I miss them a lot, and I believe many of you do to.
There are installable apks available, but most of them are outdated/modified, also downloading them one-by-one is a pain.
I collected all old Sense parts from our Sense 8 M8 port and packed all of them into an Aroma Installer flashable zip.
Here are the list of apps included in the package, all of them are selectable within the Aroma menu:
Code:
--Apps--
HMS_Gallery_GP2
HMS_Music_GP
HTC_IME
*IMEHWRPenPower
*IMEMurasuIndic
*IMEMurasuViet
*IME_TP_Basic
*IME_TP_ValueAdd
HTC Car
*HtcCarGps
*Automotive_Home
*Automotive_Traffic
--Widgets--
CalculatorWidget
HtcAutoRotateWidget
HtcBackgroundDataWidget
HtcProfilesWidget
HtcRingtoneWidget
HtcScreenBrightnessWidget
HtcScreenTimeoutWidget
HtcSyncWidget
HtcBtWidget
HtcCalendarWidgets
HtcContactWidgets
HtcDataRoamingWidget
HtcDataStripWidget
HtcHotspotWidget
HtcMobileNetworkWidget
HtcMusicWidget
HtcWiFiWidget
--Plugins--
Facebook_Plugin
Instagram_SN_Plugin
Tencent_Wechat_FSPlugin
And the following is the list that is downloadable from Play Store and not pre-loaded:
Code:
HTC Internet (Browser)
HTC Calendar
HTC File Manager
HTC Tasks
HTC Scribble
HTC Power to Give
HTC Backup (Discontinued in Marshmallow)
Changelog
v1.1:
Add HTC Car
Update HTC Gallery
Add a note for Calendar Widgetv1.0:
Initial release

v1.1 AFH Link
Enjoy

It's unclear yet.
SD820 has the capability in the SoC but the 10 firmware and kernel may not support FM radio as well as the appropriate missing libs for it to function.
Once there are more devices in hands there will be more information.

Since you mention Facebook and Instagram, combined with seeing mention of them elsewhere in the forums...
Am I to understand that Blinkfeed, out of the box on the 10, won't support Facebook and Instagram without your file? If I'm off-base, please tell me.

Yes, it is not included by default. You have to manually install it.
Appreciate that nice work,
suggestion here:
if you want to put the Calendar-widget in, then you might want to grab the Calendar in.
so when ppl hit the date on the widget, that 'd just call the main Calendar app
Update to v1.1
Also added more information to the OP

So just installing Facebook and Instagram (or even Twitter) off of the Play store isn't enough?
For us to have full functionality of Blinkfeed, we have to choose between getting updates and having to flash TWRP + your mod?

Thank you for this and also for the stock collection thread. That will prove very useful. Really appreciated ?

nope...installing facebook & instagram only installs the actual app, not the blinkfeed plugins...twitter works out of the box for blinkfeed
u don't have to be modded/rooted to install these plugins, just enable unknown sources, copy the apks to the phone & install...I posted the facebook & instagram plugins here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66377247&postcount=41801
Once you install let's say HTC Music, will it give you updates from the playstore? Because I did the same on A9 but never got updates

No it won't. What you can see on Play Store is controlled by files in /system/etc/permissions.
BTW, the music app is never available on the Play Store at any time.

So when Leedroid or other dev will do a rom for 10 he can mod something in the /system/etc/permissions so we get updates :good:

This is why I packed it to install them in system. I've done no modifications to the apps, so they have to be installed into the system with proper libraries.

The HTC Calendar is available on Play Store (I listed in OP), but not the widgets. That's why I also included them in my pack.

That's sounds very odd. Usually an app installs its widgets build in. Why is it different in this case? There are no widgets with the Google play app at all?
Name says it all. Need inputs from owners of this device if Asus apps meant for other ZenFones work on this ROM without any porting? May need to download using Yalp store, since the play store may not permit such download with the disclaimer "this app is incompatible with your device" (sheesh!).
Basically hate Google integration and want to develop a noGapps Stock ROM, without Google apps and, possibly with Asus app alternatives (dialer, calendar, camera, clock, weather, etc)
I think ZenApps can't be porting here.
But maybe yes.
I'm own this device, running pure Android 8.1 without ZenApps. So, if you want Zen UI + ZenApps get other Zenfone device's, if you want pure Android Apps (Google) get it. Greetings

Most of the Asus Zenfone ZenUI apps are available on Google Play Store and you can download it from there. And in case you desperately need any app that is not listed on GPS then you can extract that apk from any Asus Zenfone stock ROM.
Can anybody post the links of playstore apps of ZenUi?
I need the launcher, dialer, contacts and messaging?
Could not find them in playstore

Some ZenUI apps actually depend on proprietary blobs that might or might not be compatible with this phone, and probably don't ship with the stock ROM.

Seems true. I have downloaded the following apk form apk mirror and installed them.
Zen launcher .. this is mainly for custom sorting of apps and creating folders which are not available in stock launcher.
Dialer and contacts
Quick memo
Clock
Weather
Sound Recorder
Calendar
Calculator and FM radio are already preloaded in the phone.
Everything installed without any errors. The following are the results.
Calendar always crashed and never worked.
Dialer and contacts did not crash but just not working. Nothing happens if i dial a number from the dial pad or call a number from the contacts list. Except these two the other zenui apps installed are perfectly working fine including the launcher.
Can anybody help me get t work the dialer and contacts please? I do not like the stock dialer and contacts apps.

Is there any way to install these apps into stock android by extracting the required zenui apps from zenfone 5 rom ,
I am installing ZenUI Launcher, Gallery and PixelMaster camera and it's working fine.

I've just noticed that we have some hidden apps installed on our "pure" Android device. "Caping" is one such app that you won't be able to find anywhere on the phone, even in the system apps, but when you go to the Play store, you can see that you can uninstall that app.
I've noticed the app using the "Action launcher" because it displays it in the app drawer, but the stock Launcher 3 doesn't...
I've been searching for it for a while and just thought that it installed and uninstalled with the Action launcher as bloat, but today I've received a notification from the "Capting" app and that's how I realized that the app is still present and went ahead and deleted the app via notification long press...
I've seen in the Mi A1 forum that Xiaomi installs this app silently on that phone so probably the same happened to us.
There may be more of these hidden, silent apps and if you know of any more, please report here. For everyone else not wanting these hidden apps lurking around their device, feel free to remove it.
I don't see the app using action launcher..
TKDN regulations Working flawless on our country ? ?
not on my phone. I guess it's just Xiaomi automatic installation on the first run. I always clean out every app except the remote since that's the only one I used.
And for others, that Caping app only available on Indonesia region afaik.

Caping (and Babe) is one of the prerequisite apps that every vendor/OEM must have installed on their devices in order to bypass the Indonesian regulation, and since some of Xiaomi devices rom is compiled in their HQ/Server in Indonesia (see about phone, on the compilation date you'll notice the time is in WIB which means Waktu Indonesia Barat or Western Indonesian Time) i guess these apps is pretty much baked on the system.

Just to update. There are a couple of other Xiaomi apps installed on the device not displayed in the app drawer of the stock launcher (Launcher 3) such as the Xiaomi Store and others. I've found them using Lawnchair launcher. Thought this might be useful information for anyone wanting a bloat free phone.
I got my phone from an online Chinese store and its a Global version and it has the Caping app. Uninstalled it already. Any more apps that we should know that shouldn't be there in the first place?

You can uninstall Mi Store and Mi Community also. These three apks are hidden for those who live in India.
Also, there are few telemetry apps that you guys should disable via adb:
/system/app/TelemetryService/TelemetryService.apk=com.qualcomm.qti.haven.telemetry.service
/system/app/Spock/Spock.apk=com.miui.spock
