[Q] Sense 3.5 messaging on MIUI? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I love the sense 3.5 messaging app. It's sleek, smooth, and good looking. Is there any way I can replace the stock MIUI app with it? I tried flashing a sense rom, getting the apk, putting it on my sdcard, go to MIUI, and install it. It didn't work. So is there maybe a sense 3.5 messaging theme? Thanks.

To half-answer your question, you cannot get Sense 3.5 messaging on MIUI. It will only work with Sense. Not too sure about the theme either.

I'm not sure theme wise but sense is a different framework

Yeah that's what I thought. Thanks

Install missing Sense Widgets / Apps in Sense ROMS

Hey,
I'm using various Sense Roms. In some of them there are a few Sense Apps or Widgets missing. Is it possible to install them manually?
Or to put them into a ROM afterwards?
Does somebody know where to get/download the Sense-APKs?
Hope somebody can help...

I am looking them too.
An example: I like Location widget but rom makers deletes this widget.
How can i find/install sense widgets as this.
And
I am looking for a gingerbread rom with sense. There are a few roms (imilka's, boyppc etc.) but they have lots of missing widgets/features.
Is there a FULLY WORKING GINGERBREAD with SENSE 3.0.
Thanks.

Gingerbread Sense 3.0 ROM is still under development and it's in a very alpha stage atm.
Imilka's GB ROM has Sense 2.1 and some issues like camcorder not working and some minor visual glitches.
Here it is what you're looking for mate

You are great thesniffer.
Thanks for location widget.
I'm looking and waiting for a rom that has ginger and all sense features. Imilka's sensation sense has sense 3 but there are lots of problems as camera and resulotion problems. So i will wait a stable ginger sense release. Therefore i continue to use boyppc desire rom.
Thanks for reply.
but location apps didn't work. (froya, boyppc). anyway thanks thesniffer..

This might sound stupid, but these widgets will not work on CM7, am I correct. Only roms with sense.

porting aosp messaging app to sense

How difficult is this task?
I asked this about a year ago in the hero forums and it never worked. I like sense but the aosp messaging app was way better than the sense one. Have you tried the sense 3.0 messaging app.
I think the messaging app is part of the framework so it wouldn't work

When I had my Hero I found a thread in the forums getting a lot of AOSP apps like Messaging, Clock, Music, etc. Those are easy, just pull the Mms.apk from /system/app on an aosp ROM zip file then push it to /system/app on the Sense phone. It doesn't work the other way around, though (Sense Messaging to aosp ROM). Also this method doesn't work for things like the Dialer, Contacts. You might have to restart the phone after the push.
That was with the Hero, but hopefully that method works for the Shift as well.

Anyway of getting Sense on this?

I hate touchwiz, its damn awful and in my option looks like a cheap iOS rip of, anyway of getting a sense type theme on this?
Porting sense to this thing would be very, very hard. Maybe not possible.
If all you want is a sense theme, then just look in the theme section. I know there are some. You could also install cyanogenmod and use their theme engine.

Or any other launcher that's available on the market.

yeah take it back and buy a sensation.
or just change the launcher seriously..............
I dont know.. If u dont like change launcher... Or phone..

AGILE LOCK - Gives you the SENSE 3 LOCKSCREEN
LAUNCHER PRO PLUS - with MIUI ICON PACK is a nice combo as well and launcher pro has most of the sense widgets
Sighs not another Sense thread. Maybe try using the search function to find one of the 1000000000 other people whining about Sense and post on those threads. Anyway if you like Sense so much you should've gotten a Sensation. If you don't like Touchwiz install a different launcher from the market and get a Sense theme.
The End!

Replacing dialer app on sense 3.5 from sense 3.0?

Has anyone tried replacing dialer app (or any other sense based app for that matter) in a sense 3.5 rom from the one in sense 3.0?
Overall sense 3.5 seems better but I don't like tabs in the dialer so was thinking about downgrading to v3.0 apk. Of course I can try and see if it works but if anyone has already tried it, it will save me some time.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I need this too. I'm running sense 3.5 and would love to just flash over the sense 3.0 dialer due to the smushed numbers on 3.5
You could try pushing it but there's alot of behind the scenes kinda stuff goin on with stock dialers

AOSP or SENSE??

Hi all,
I am stucked by choices.. I love the AOSP ICS rosie UI and features.. but I can't live w/o sense apps and especially HTC Sync. Is there anyway we can have ICS rosie with HTC apps like premium navigation, messages, blah blah and importantly HTC sync ???

AOSP! Speed and efficiency!
It's speed and efficiency, over looks.
I've tried them all, but i always go back to Sense 3.5. (Waiting for stable for daily use 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6)
Well.. I was just wondering if we can have all.. aosp sounds fun but HTC have many widgets and HTC sync to provide the convenience that I need.
Will uninstalling HTC sense do the trick or cause the Rom to Fc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It's all driven by personal choice.
I installed an AOSP ICS rom and I loved it, but ultimately, for me the experience was lacking without Sense. So I dropped back down to GB with Sense 3.5.
I'm waiting for a stable ICS release with Sense, will upgrade then
Well, that's why I'm asking if there is any way to combine both..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I am also a huge fan of Sense. But i'm on IceColdSandwich and really love it for daily use. When there will be a working sense ICS ROM i will switch, but for now i'm going with the AOSP one. You can customize it so that it at least looks like a sense rom
do what I do...keep back up of another rom so if you get twitchy you can flip back etc..actually I have three at the moment .runny 4.0...this is my daily I use this more because of sense...ics just because its smooth and...sweet. and now got absolution.I'm not a gamer so save data etc doesn't matter to me..SMS can be retrieved if needed.contacts are on both so..my 10p worth
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Anyone else find battery life is poorer on sense roms, or is that just me? I'm currently using IceColdSandwich, really nice rom.
Well, an AOSP uses tons less space and ram, so i would imagine the battery life would be immense on that.
I flashed Virtuous Quattro and that used hardly any space in the system partition, where sense Roms use almost all of the space.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.. what I'm trying to find out here is if there is any sense Rom that is possible to be customised to look like ics without losing the advantages of some sense apps and HTC sync. I'm not into switching roms as I prefer to have one to work as my daily driver.
I know of coz ics Rom can be customised to be as close to sense but without sense kernel, there will still be missing HTC sync and some sense apps.

I've been a sense guy too for a long time but I've recently been following lord's ice cold sandwich rom and I love it more than any sense rom out there.
The great thing would be a rom AOSP
with synchronization, camera and widgets (Sense)
Greetings!
Aosp. I always had sense. But I'm on LC s ics and its great. No more sense for me.

Ok I will put it to you simple. The only way to have sense apps is to use Sense. Non of the widgets work without the launcher being used. All of the apps can be replaced with AOSP versions. Not sure about the navagation as I would never use a phone to tell me where i need to go. Sync seems to be a big deal for you and not sure why. There are far better option out there.
So simply if you want to use HTC apps then you will use Sense.
yeah but depends if he wants the widgets..the apps themselves can still work,your not wrong though,the asop is quicker,battery lasts longer.can customize more,..sadly although i have them on my back ups,im a sense rom junkie,gets on my nerves to be honest. im hoping,with sense 4..they up there game now,sense 3.6 is..just with a few added bits not really an overhaul and its debateable whether because its running ice cream in the background if it will actually make a difference
forgot to say,although you can replace all apps from sense with others in asop.The mail app still in my opinion is one of the leaders for that sort of app. If someone could port that out of a sense rom id be chuffed lol
