[Q] Extract Locations app & Photo widget from Sense Roms? - HD2 General

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.

xROM Android Port for the Vogue.

This is a port of JACxROM from the dream/g1. It's based on the stable android 1.5/cupcake AOSP from the master branch and 1.5r4 now includes some donut code as well. All resolutions should work with this build. It includes some htc frameworks and apps as well as the htc keyboard. Java is included in this build as well as exchange work email. It has a nice hero like theme done by manup. There are several hero like widgets included such as a flip style weather clock and several toggle switches. I've also included Loccy's Better Browser which is an enhanced version of the standard opensource android browser.The origional JACxROM1.X can be found in the dream forums.
JACxROM1.4r3 Vogue/Kaiser
Download: xROM1.4r3 from vogue-android
This is the android 1.5 AOSP version with the hero themed launcher. Use it with the standard basefiles package at vogue-android.
JACxROM1.5r4c Beta for Vogue/Kaiser:
Download: xROM 1.5r4c bundle. from vogue-hero experimental page. You must use the latest basefiles. I've included Java in this build and the Biz Card Reader from hero. It also includes all the other htc apps in the last xROM including the htc music app. It's using Loccy's Better Browser with double tap zoom and Stericson's lock screen. It also has the Meltus v7 audio hack and the standard pre like xROM Advanced launcher which is themed by overground and maintained by irrenhaus and ported from rogro82's original Launcher.apk.
All credits for the original xROM go to just another crowd(jac), manup456, cyanogen, loccy, overground, irrenhaus and rogo82 from the dream forums.
Good job, Zanulator. It's a very nice theme! But I found one problem on the polaris: The headset icon is always displayed, but I never connected the headphone to the phone (it doesn't work yet on the polaris). Do you know how to solve this?
Thanks!!

The headphone icon is just there. It's not a bug it's an unusable feature .
Very nice - works well. Great idea splitting the threads for the diff builds.
I use xROM more than hero now. Until the next hero update comes or someone puts out a better themed cupcake/ion/donut I'll be using this.

Yea xROM2 was really JACxROM1.3 it was just the second version that I ported to the vogue thats the reason I called it xROM2. They updated to JACMANxROM1.4r3 so I just used the regular version numbers for this one to avoid confusion in the future.
Should it work on the Kaiser?
Because I can't get Wi-Fi nor the modem to connect, could you possibly put this system.img in a bundle with the other files you think should work best? I love the responsiveness of it otherwise, seems much faster and less crash prone than the hero builds.

I didn't add the wifi pieces in this build. I'll post one later on in a bundle.
Dude just installed, everything is awsome, except my lock screen is mirrored lol, I dunno how that happened, but it is like looking throught a piece of glass and everything is backward.
Everything else looks amazing though, thank you.

did you use a fresh data.img? i accidentally booted xrom with the data.img from cyanogenmod and everything was weird kinda cool but not quite right.
New XRom is great thanks Zenulator, only thing is that that weird headphone icon is in the taskbar, lol, i know that wasnt in the last XRom release so i'm guessing you somehow fixed it before?
this is a great build man, no crashes so far. zen, is there any way to make the "in call" volume louder when on a phone call? that's the only real annoying thing about our android builds. im shocked no one has fixed this or attempted to hack the audiopara. the rest of my volumes are very loud.
Hey zenulator, great work as always. A couple of things.
1. I know your stance on the camera program and it not working in your builds. However, for a daily use build, I think it is essential. I know that fxcamera works, but a) it takes two clicks to get to the camera, and b) the resolution is not that great. mssmison had the regular camera working in his hero themed ion, which seems very similar to this build in a lot of ways, I don't know if it would be compatible. I did try bringing the camera app over from one of the other builds, but I could not install it on this rom (and yes, I have "unknown sources" checked under applications).
2. no album - also essential, and yes we can get an album program from other places, but I think having all the basics on board on a daily use build like this should be standard.
Thanks again zen.

what do you mean by album? i can see all of my photos on my sd card? for the camera use pro paint camera, works great!
i figured this was a themed cupcake build and not a true hero rom.
is it true that using android the way we do will eventually ruin our sd cards? i could of swore i read that somewhere before? if it's true i probably won't use it much as i have alot of other important info on my card.

yes, themed cupcake build. yes, you can see all pics on your sd card, just need an album program (most builds there is one installed by default name Album or Gallery).

I take it all back. Started with a fresh data file, gallery now shows up. pro paint camera is a great option, fxcamera "normal" mode won't work for me.

I have this headphone icon to. And I can't get a network connection? The modem app says i'm connected, but I can't login to google, can't download something from market.
Anyone else with this issue?
Edit: I did start with a fresh data file.

2.1 .APK file links

I would like to start a thread that can be a hub for the new 2.1 .APK files that are usable on the Eris.
I have tried the current live wallpapers and will install but they are not visible.
Here is a link to the WeatherGenie from Nexus 1. http://download887.mediafire.com/iwj7jx90ftvg/xmtwizbmm3m/GenieWidget.apk
Here is the same app but transparent, you need to uninstall the regular one for it to work. http://sites.google.com/site/droidlife3/home/GenieWidget-transparent.apk?attredirects=0
Add anything to this list you know will work.
Please test before you post the .apk
Some more interesting APK from the Desire we could use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642189 From what I am seeing there maybe the update copy and paste included.

I tested the gallery app. It works, unless you tilt the phone horizontal, then the screen goes crazy until you tilt back vertically.
I tested the music app. It works fine.
I installed and ran the clock app, I didn't like it as much as the HTC clock app, so I uninstalled it (it seemed to work fine)
I did not try either launcher.
I believe these are the extra HTC widgets we can't directly D/L fromthe HTC widget placer thingy.

This one definitely does not work. Causes FC loop which requires some Home-button-timing to get out of.

This works, but is very slow, and breaks in landscape mode. (Not FC-breaks, but massive-distortion-breaks.

Again, FC loop. No leads on the cause, I'll fire up ADB later and try to track this down.
I posted this in the wrong spot sorry. Do not post in here but instead I will start one in the correct section. Closed.

Launcher2 works perfectly for me, on my Eris, but mine is leaked 2.1, so that might be the reason.
Most people are running the "leaked" 2.1 rom on this forum and seem to not have it working... Me included, did you do anything to get it to load? and where did you DL it from?
@Allow:
how are you testing it?
I ask because I too have installed the leaked 2.1 (as has everyone who has 2.1 on an Eris) and I get the FC loop when I click the home button and choose to use Launcher for the action.

OR maybe im completely wrong here and you may very well be that 1%.
got pics to prove you have it working?
I am also getting the looping and I am running 2.1.
Omg. People pease try reading around. Launcher2 will not load. The guy that said that is either a newbie that doesn't know what launcher2 is or just likes drama. Of course with screenshot plus video I will apologize. But I have logcats from trying to load launcher2 that looks for lib files we can't add with out root

With a total of 4 post in XDA I am going to have to say that the guy is both but then again I have been surprised before maybe hes discovered how to root the the Eris
The music app is the only one that fully works and it's not much better than the leaked 2.1 eris' music app. The clock wont do fahrenheit or bring up my location at all. This thread is a complete fail.

2.2 Froyo Launcher and Gallery

Can anybody port the real launcher and gallery app from 2.2? The 2.2 launcher that is out, the phone link doesnt work, and theres a version of the gallery on the incredible forum buts its extremely slow and laggy.

download the latest cyanogen nightly and gapps. then pull the files you need. All the stock non-sprint andoid goodness is already ported over to the evo. I am playing with the sprint froyo with 90% of sense uninstalled and running most of the vanila from the cyanogen.
I nandroid between both.
Here is launcher2 from 2.2.
Thanks for the replies, the launcher 2 still doesnt launch the dialer, says application not installed, and i pulled the gallery APK from CM and its terribly slow and laggy. Says loading new albums every time and doesnt load anything, am i doing it wrong? Do i need to pull more than the APK?

That's because you didn't install the dialer... For the gallery it takes a long time on the first startup to start working well because it is making thumbnails for ever picture it can find on your SD card.
Is it possible to make it recognize the HTC dialer, and not the stock android? I am not rooted, so i cant mess with system apps
took about 2 hours to load all my photos with the gallery open the hole time. Its still really choppy, but better than it was before. I installed gallery3d from the cyanogen nightly. Only problem now is my camera and camcorder apps do not work anymore. If i uninstall the gallery they work fine. Is there a way to fix that without uninstalling the gallery?

You could try a different version of the gallery from a different / more stable ROM, but other than that IDK.
Camera and camcorder apps work again, found out alot of people on 2.2 are getting it.

You're probably better off running adw.launcher. It looks like Froyo's launcher with way more customization. I highly recommend it.

not to be "that guy", but if this was in the correct section (themes and apps) you might have seen someone post the real froyo gallery app. No lag. No issues with it interfering with other apps like phone, and has the pinch preview.
Than can the moderators move it than please? The Gallery Now works pretty well, but still a little choppy. Im sure a better port could be made. And i like the 3d affect in the stock launcher, the adw launcher is ok

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.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
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.

Htc picture widget on rooted phones

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.
