If i use Sensation ROM, it will be a 2.3 version. I had tried that one ( but not the sensation ROM), but it seems slower than 2.2 on my HD2.
Can I use only the weather widget ?
IF no and the only chance is use the sensation ROM, What ROM will you suggest ?
thanks,
Ronald

This one is also 2.3 but is working pretty well , if it helps, pls check out the thread :-

[Q] [NEWBIE] New HTC Sense in .APK ???

Good Morning.
I'm a new user of this forum and of the HTC Desire.
I really like ADAMG - OpenDesire Roms (stable, up to date...) but I really like the New SENSE (From DesireHD)...
Is it possible to get this interface in a package to install on another ROM ?
Best Regards

That is what the devs are working on at the moment. There is no stable port of HD roms as of now. The camera doesn't work yet. We would have to wait till the device gets released or the HD rom gets leaked.
There are few HD roms already for Desire but camera is not working.

No it's impossible. A Sense rom comes from HTC only, and they are modified by users and that's it. You can't add Sense to a non-Sense rom.

the above poster is partially right, there is so much more to sence than just an .apk, for starters, sence needs the whole htc framework, it also uses several apps that are modified from the stock android apps. although i do beleve sence can be ported as devs have ported both our sence and the desire hd's sence to the droid x

[Q] [REQ] Flashable HTC Sense that can be added to Openfire / Cyanogenmod

Can anyone help?
As the title says - I'd really like help from you talented developers -
I love Wildpuzzle Rom. Love it to death. However - I can't (currently) get it to work w overclocking - I have one of the phones out there that only work w Jacob's kernel 4.1 - and none prior to that - and danne_jo's version of that kernel unfortunately just makes my phone restart at htc splashscreen all the time...
So I have 2 choices - either wait for danne_jo to somehow / sometime fix that kernel -
or....
change to cyanogenmod or openfire...
NOW. I am desperate to have HTC Sense in my phone. It's a must. Can't use the vanilla stuff, can't seem to get used to them, miss HTC Weather, Contacts, Dialer, Clock, list goes on forever.
So can anyone helpout here - PLEASE - do a flashable HTC Sense package that will work with Openfire or Cyanogenmod - or preferrably both.
My gratitude goes out to you people for your great work so far - and your possible help on this.
And danne_jo if you see this - I miss my Wildpuzzle a lot. Please try to make Jacob's 4.1 kernel work on Wildpuzzle (Froyo Version). It works on every other system but Wildpuzzle on my phone!
Thanks for your time!
+1 to that...
And if possible add flash support with that
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
If only Jacob's kernel works, then flash it to Wildpuzzle. It is fully compatible and is available standalone from Jacob's topic.
As for Sense, it's highly unlikely. At some point in the past there was a version of sense available for Cyanogen. However, in efforts to make the mod wholly legal, all components were removed. As far as I am aware, it would take extensive work and knowledge of the Sense UI code to build it into any ROM with an AOSP base.
If what you miss are the home screens and dialer, I suggest looking to LauncherPro and beautiful widgets, along with some of the custom dialers that exist.
I'd like to see this taken a step further honestly. A plain ROM with the 4.1 kernal, a pack to add the HTC apps (like there is for the Google stuff), etc. That way, one version of a ROM can be tailored to suit everyone interested in trying out of the growing user created ROM's.
I would if it worked. Both the one found on Jacob's kernel thread - and the one specifically made for Wildpuzzle by danne_jo causes bootloop on HTC Splashscreen. Why I have no clue. The one found in Jacob's thread works a treat on both Cyano and Open - only Wildpuzzle won't work.
And no, I'm looking for the whole Sense thing - except a few apk's that I can remove later...I MUST have HTC Contact above all, then Weather, Clock, and a few more...
Why is there no Stock Sense Froyo -
IF I figured out the howto's I'd do a Sense Rom based on Chinese Froyo - adding Sense from Stock 2.1 - w all the Chinese junk removed, Rom Manager, Root Explorer, Linpack, Setcpu, Superuser, Busybox added. Rooted, Deodexed (whatever that is), and OC'd w Jacob's 4.1 kernel.
Why has noone done that rom as of yet? I very much doubt I'm the only one who'd like such a rom.
And WHY oh Why won't Jacob's 4.1 kernel work on Wildpuzzle!

Kernel works in wildpuzzle eclair
Sent from CM6 on my HTC Wildfire
It may, I've never tried - and would rather not as I would like to keep the froyo speeds...
So basically what you're saying Jacob, is that your 4.1 kernel doesn't work w Froyo version of Sense? Not Wildpuzzle nor anything else? Am I correct? If Yes - any clue on why - and any plans of doing something against that? Same problem as before tho, won't give us an ADB as freezes/restarts before it connects...always on the HTC Splashscreen...

It won't work for me with WP Eclair. I lose wifi connection.
Not tried WP Froyo since the first release of it as I need the contacts shown and want the weather location to work.
Not for those of us w more bad blocks i'm afraid...
I would really love it to but it won't - gives me the same error that all the older OC kernels did w everything... - restart/freeze on htc splash screen so I can't even get an adb logcat...
but only on Froyo Wildpuzzle - works on Wildpuzzle Eclair (which I am now temporarily using, until Wildpuzzle Froyo is made to work) as well as Cyanogenmod and Openfire perfectly

[Q] req: Sense 3 Lockscreen

Hi.
Since there are several Sense 3 ROMs for HD2 out there, it might be possible to
port just the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen to Sense 2.1 ROMs.
I am quite sure, I am not the only one who likes to see this. But since i am not a Dev, I dont know if this is possible.

Hi,
Yes I realise what you want ,but you will only be able to do this with a GB ROM.
Therefore you need to consider an upgrade.
Why don't you make a CWM backup,put on the new ROM and if you don't like it,restore your original ROM.

[Q] Dezire Z & ROM Manager Question

Hey Everyone,
I have a rooted desire z with an insert coin rom installed.
I want to mess around with ROM Manager. When I go to perform the 1st step, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it asks me to confirm phone model.
Options are HTC Desire HD and HTC G2. I would assume I want to use the G2 as this is pretty much the G2.
My phone was originally Bell Mobility.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks.
Yip choose the HTC G2
thanks!...now to decide what rom to try.

Choose whatever you want. But remember there are more options than show up in ROM manager. You can download from the dev section too
Also, ALWAYS back up in recovery before flashing. Save yourself a lot of headaches.
Dont limited yourself to what can be downloaded through rom manager, head to the developers section here and read up on the different flavoured roms
Sent from a htc desire z
And recoveries lol, 4EXT is actually pretty damn cool, and has more features than cwmr, and it's from the same creator I believe
This is only my 3rd adnroid, 2nd i've rooted.
The 1st was a Rogers Dream so I was limited to CM6 really.
One thing I wonder on the desire z is do I need to flash a different kernel? I would guess no since the insert coin rom I am running is Gingerbread 2.3.4 the kernel would be fine for something like CM7.1.
Anyone running CM 7.1 on a desire z? how is it?

When you install a new ROM (like cm7) it installs a new kernel with it. FWIW the CM7 stock kernel is amazing.
There are thousands of people running CM7 on the Vision. Head over to the 7.1 thread and see what people are saying. Its worth a try. I like it.
If I go with CM7.1, any way to get a good looking sense clock/weather widget? The ones on market suck to put it simply....
The onlything I like about sense really is that widget...

Different developer, but 4EXT is based on CWM.
I guess I could just use Launcher Pro instead of ADW and then buy the Sense Widget for $1.50...

Well, tried CM 7.1...compared to InsertCoin I was running it is pretty weak...the insert coin is far better as far as stability...as soon as I opened market it crashed, settings, crash....etc...

hmmm.... so? what ROM should i download? CM7? or InsertCoin? what do you recommend guys?
Why don't you just try yourself? Would take much less time than reading about personal preferences of people
I never tried CM and probably won't in a visible timeframe, because I chose HTC over Samsung because of Sense (and the fact that my operator had the DZ dirt cheap compared to others ).

I prefer InserCoin. More complete for the device. CM7.1 is okay...but like the last person said, sense is why some ppl like htc...buy htc...etc.
It is all personal preference, but from what I have found so far...sense roms, insertcoin included are much nicer on the device...

[Q] Some ROM Suggestions, please.

Hi,
I had flashed a near stock NAND ROM but was constrained on space. Then tried out an SD ROM, still works well, but found it too slow for comfort
Could anyone please suggest a stable, working, daily use (with everything working) NAND ROM with:
1. HTC Sense
2. A2SD
3. Daemon Controller (preferable).
4. Working camcorder and camera without lags.
Believe me, spent a lot of time searching.
I don't care too much about the themes, the stock HTC are good enough for me.
Thanks,
jiggyk
P.S.: If someone could suggest a stable and fast SD ROM having the above (without #2, of course), that too would do and I would be thankful.

All GB Sense ROMs have camcorder bugs, unfortunately, so I don't think there are any ROMs which don't have this. Unless, of course, Froyo Sense is good enough for you. I've found Froyo Sense to be fast, smooth and stable. I would also recommend trying a CM7 ROM (e.g. Typhoon/Hyperdroid) as these are very fast, and can be themed to look like Sense.

Thank You for your prompt reply.
My preference for HTC sense is primarily because it nicely links my facebook, whatsapp, etc. contacts and shows mobile numbers and email addresses of facebook friends far and near who I did not have in my contacts list hitherto.
However, these ROMS you have suggested, do they have A2SD built in? I am also assuming that the camcorder bugs are in the ROMs with sense. Is that correct??

To answer your questions, yes (I think) and yes.
For stable version you can try Nexus One Rom by Tytung.The base is ligther and the rom is smooth but other rom also has its advantage.

as far as im aware,but im using v4.0,not all apps can go to sd though,its the only prob i can't work out.......e.g: when using pyramid rom with a2sd,i downloaded facebook for android,went to settings and moved it to sd card,now the rom im using has a2sd also cos i go to sd-ext folder and all my downloaded apps are there,but facebook is not possible to move via settings,but if no joy i came across a free app in the market called Link2SD AND ALL THE APPS I CAN'T MOVE VIA APPLICATION/SETTINGS I CAN MOVE USING LINK2SD.........so i'm 1 happy guy lol
also,if u wait till tomorrow,he says 4.1 is being released with glitches fix and less bugs,but have a play with this version,if u like it,download v4.1 when released(fri)
if you want sense with everything working and i mean a camcorder at 800x480 rather than 320 then you will be looking at a froyo based rom not a gingerbread rom
personally i have moved from a sense rom to a miui rom and changed to go launcher ex and am more than happy with it, its alot faster than sense
Team Blue Droid have produced an excellent sense 3.5 Rom which looks the business and works far better than many others I have flashed recently on mh EU HD2. I am not that technically minded regarding SD card partition types, but I run mine via SD card after flasing a 1024 partition using CMR and the accompanying DAF.exe.
From reading many threads I understand camcorder is less than perfect on most roms at highest res.

Thanks for your inputs, everyone!
I had the same problem of all apps not going through to the SD, and the remaining memory would not go over 25-30MB at any time, with a near stock Froyo ROM. (Yes, it is a very fast and stable sense ROM). I think I'll take your advice and wait for 4.1 and then see how it goes, will download it over the weekend. Also this Link2SD thing looks interesting!!
The Team Blue ROM looks very impressive indeed, what with the Daemon Controller and all, but, going through the forum, many have had glitches with the wifi, network, etc. I thought I'd wait for this ROM to settle, but now that you say that they aren't making any more.......
