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 ?

Yep. Just remove Rose.apk and Rose.odex from /system/app. I made my own custom gutted Hero rom with a lot of things removed including the boot animations. Im thinking about uploading it. I can upload a Sense-less (pun intended) Hero if you would like. Note, I did not test it much. Just played with it for a few minutes. Make sure you Nandroid backup
could you please?

Sure. I'll get it together and uploaded as soon as possible.
Is it truly "Sense"-less? That is, with the standard white menu bar, default icons, etc.?
ok thanks im looking forward to it
holy hell, removing htc sense speeds up boot time tenfold. i had it diabled but after removing it completly boot time is awesome. thanks for the tip! cant wait to try ur rom

Im going to upload it soon. And now it is not going to be truly senseless yet. I dont have enough time to do that right now but I hope to soon. At the very least it will have all HTC Widgets deleted as well as Rosie.
when do you think you will have it uploaded?

Well, I am just going through some basic testing right now to make sure it works. I made two roms. They are both basically MoDaCo's roms so he should get all the credit. I just took some leg work out of it for you guys
Like I said, when I have them all tested and working I will upload. Hopefully that means soon. And remember I am not new to the whole rooting/hacking scene but to rom development I am new so please forgive me for saying these are pretty darn beta
My phone is way faster with sense gone
if you want ill help you test it and ill give you feed back?

Well, I'm having some trouble with the senseless rom. I will PM you with it and let me know if it works for you.
alright<><>
my phone runs great i have MoDaCo 1.1 with apptosd and i removed htc sense my phone is only useing 8m of internal storage. I can't belive how fast it is.
Is there a way to remove Sense and add stock Android Home to new 2.1 rom from Rogers? And if yes,how can i do that?
I know that i can remove Rosie from this rom,but there is no stock home in there.
Try ADW or Launcherpro, they are amazingly customizable. Bad thing though, is you cant use HTC widgets
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA App
Yea I know but i dont need home replacement,i want to remove all Sense apps.And use Android ones.
if you don't want the SenseUI, why don't you try any stable Froyo 2.2 ROMs,
try CM5.0.8, it is pretty cool
Well am not sure why but battery is a lot better on 6.35 radios,and i like how stable that Rogers rom is.So that is the reason,and please no more questions about that.
If someone know the answer to question i asked let me know.
i am actually working on a rom which is basically a 2.1 sense with out all the sense lol
Basically im taking out all the widgets and rosie, and then im going to put in ADW, launcher pro, and touchwiz launcher. Also will have apps2sd etc..
right now im still testing it out , but hopefully i will have it done soon
Thats not really answer to my question but good to know.

Partial answer is here -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802753
However, camera is not working (may others).
I gave up on digging more into kernel due to limited time resource. But, experts' sugguestions are always welcomed.

Yea but i dont need Froyo,so either way i would have to use different kernel?
Any way to put this on CM7? I know its probably incorporated into Rosie, but I thought I would ask the smart ones anyway.

most of HTC stock .apks require the HTC Sense framework. It's very unlikely to get it working correctly.

Its just not gonna happen. Sorry. sense is closed source. If htc would open up the source, we could do all sorts of amazing things, but we got nothing until they do.
I was playing with this .apk last night, I couldn't even edit the .pngs. After pushing it back to the phone, it just disappears as a widget. .. What a bummer
I would like to keep the phone on Gingerbread, and remove all Sense, but keep the Android-Sense UI (example, Status Bar, settings look, etc.) I know I probably don't need QXM2SD and could someone tell me what that does? I'm curious...

not really sure what you mean...but here's a TouchWiz ROM in case you're interested http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826792
sorta confused by your title and your question, your title asks how to port a TouchWiz ROM but your question asks how to remove Sense? lol
so i guess i'll answer both your questions...
Port TouchWiz: I don't recommend you doing this, it's a LOT harder than you think, since HTC Devices weren't designed for TouchWiz and vice versa. the closest to you can get TouchWiz without going through the pain of porting all the framework and apps and stuff, is with the ROM link that i posted above.
Remove Sense: Depending on how much Sense you want to remove, just delete the Sense apps you don't want. i assume you wouldn't want the launcher anymore, so delete Rosie.apk from /system/app. maybe you don't want the widgets anymore, delete them from the same location, /system/app.
hope i've answered your question, please be a bit clearer next time.

i don't see why it wouldn't. though you would need a newer version of TouchWiz, kinda like how Sense 2.1 wouldn't work on ICS.

Didn't mean Ice Cream Sandwich, my fault. I meant Gingerbread.
Don't try it man, it won't be fun. Besides, touchwiz GB would be really difficult because most of the devices that ran touchwiz in the GB used the hummingbird processor. So processor incompatibility, have fun recompiling kernel source with andrendo and qualcomm drivers. Don't even get me started on wifi modules, ram, camera, screen. Its a lot easier on ICS.
One ICS, take an ICS rom as a base and port the framework(WHICH IS NOT EASY)
Sounds like I just won't do it then..

hey man, we're not trying to discourage you or anything, if you really want to give it a shot, by all means! who knows, maybe you'll be able to do it
we're just warning ya and giving you a heads up of what it would be like if you were to try porting it.

If anything, try ICS first, you wont need to edit the kernel as much as you would have to with GB

It's all good.
The only phone I can get Widgetlocker to start full screen weather with, is the thunderbolt on gingerbread.
My thunderbolt on ICS won't
My incredible 2 on gingerbread won't.
My Incredible 4g on ICS won't.
So, I'm thinking it might have to do with Widgetlocker looking for a particular weather version.
htcweatherwallpaper.apk is the file it commands.
So could anyone who is still running GB on this phone, rip this apk for me?
Then I can install it on my other phones and see if it works.
(I'm not rooted so I can't rip it from my own phone).
But, if someone else knows how to make it work without doing this; please post!
Thanks!

The weather wall app from GB is designed for the gingerbread framework and sys. UI... And also the sense version it comes from. As an unrooted user, it's unlikely that he'll be able to transplant or replace a system level app that way (both because the earlier version of the app is incompatible, and because stock unrooted users don't have permission to modify system apps)
... Pointless.
I see what you mean.
I thought it was worth a shot.
Thanks for posting the apk though.
If I get around to rooting then I'll try it.
Does anyone know how to command that weather animation without rooting? Like creating a program shortcut so when I click it the animation in that apk would execute?
