I have a HTC Desire and I recently installed a Gingerbread ROM with Oxygen, and I really miss the HTC flavour. Is there any way I could have HTC Sense or at least the stock apps back on this rom?
P.S.: I hope that I didn't post in the wrong place...
The gingerbread Rom is an ASOP Rom, sense programs will not runn as they need the associated HTC files also, if you run a sense Rom with another launcher over it you will see the programs will run but the widgets won't load, again they will only work with the sense launcher. You can get apps that replicate the look. Get Beautiful/fancy widgets for the clock, but the best is to get launcher pro and pay for the extra, the widgets are very similar

I feel ya bro. Get fancy widget to hold you over till its Ported.

I found those apps in a rom, and as you said, it ain't work... It doesn't even install, only the camera app which crashes.. I wanted HTC Music back, but, fortunately, I found the Honeycomb leaked Music app, so it's cool.
Does the contacts app work in Oxy Ginger. I like the facebook pictures sync. Now all of my contacts are without pics

The Sense contact app won't work. Try SyncMyPix from the Android Market insread. Perhaps it can help.

[PROJECT] Port Phonebook/Dialer & SMS app from ARC to Froyo ROMS - HELP NEEDED NEARLY
If anyone is interested in helping out with this, i'd like to be able to port these over, even if just the SMS app works, looks alot better than the android defaults.
CAN THIS BE MOVED BACK TO DEV, NEED SOME HELP CHECK PAGE 3
Hey how about doing it in other way, making android apps looks like SE apps. I was able to change Dialer Contacts and Settings apk. I'm trying to change the Mms and improve the Contact apk in the future.
You are aiming for hi-res contact images also? It is quite nice, but it is shame that google still in its gmail has 160*160 pics, and in their forums are no signs of progress about evolving this thing despite the requests from other gmail users. I am using gmail as primary sync source and those small streched out pics on x10 apps looks kind of commandore/amiga style like. Btw if the pictures are synced from facebook. Who decides the resolution of the pics. Phone contact app settings or FB app sync service?

Hmm you cant really replicate it witht he stock apps epecially the SMS app that has no hope lol
Yeah it's hard
As far as i know the SE phonebook is linked to Timescape. Without TS the phonebook will FC on 2.1, so you'd have to totally re-write the app rather than port it.

Not sure about that ive removed timescape from all my prevous roms with no problems, the feature in phonebook to sync just doesnt show, then if you want facebook sync you can set it in the facebook app settings

Until i´ve jumped to 2.2, still in 2.1, i always removed Timescape and never had any problem with SE phonebook because of that.
It would be awesome if we could port the SE messaging app, that thing is beastly, way better than the stock

lol i hated the stock sony messaging app... a thread with 4.5k+ messages takes forever to open. and whenever i sent a long message my phone would just freeze and restart. handcent is much better
I really liked the stock 2.1 dialer contact + message apps! They were freakin sexy with the Honeycomb theme... (Also without)
If someone would port this, I would buy a beer for him.
Will give it a shot, but like i say, it will prbably go horribly wrong lol
Why don't you guys just use Arc's apks found in arcs system dump? No need to port or anything..
Just install phonebook.apk and infiniteview.apk for contacts

I just can't make it work on my hero. Facebook contacts wont show in phonebook, still get posts in friendstream and I get com.HTC.bgp force close ALL the time :'(
This is with stock, elelinux, and villan.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
[EDIT] sorted with a lot of googleing, if you remove your Facebook for sense account and clear app data. Then go to your account settings on the touch site and remove HTC sense from the list off allowed apps, next time you sign into sense on your device things should sync nicely. And I haven't seen the HTC.bgp close since

Hi
I think this is a common disadvantage of going to a slim ROM... One thing i loved about HTC Sense was its People App and the integration it provided...along with the great "link" feature, made sure a twitter contact, a fb contact, an email and a phone number are the same person...
I am not a developer but I am very impressed and grateful for the developers here... It would so awesome if there was a better contact app which means me with lots more people could switch to No-Sense ROMs
Thanks
How about Go Contacts?
I am actually very suprised at how good it is... Thanks!! And I have been using GO Launcher ever since...
I used to have aContacts in my phone, but I replaced that with the better Youlu Phonebook app.
I use contapps (http://www.contapps.com/) and think it's great!
Touchpal dialer / contacts works brilliantly, got everything you could want and looks very polished to boot

Rocket Dial is a nice option, too
Been my fav since cm7 dialer doesn't feature smart dialing, which is rather annoying if you're coming from sense UI.
Hi, I don't want to bog down the CM7 threads with noob questions. Now that our great DEVs have gotten WiMax working and Epic officially supported I thought I would try CM7 since I was already on MTD. I got it working pretty well but there are some things I miss from TW ROMs that maybe some of you have already got figured out or found an equivalent. I thought this might be a good thread to share tips.
First off the stock email app sucks, can't select to always show pictures so get K9 from the market.
So your long texts don't show up as gibberish make sure to select split sms and turn off split counter. Nightly 16 and up fixes long texts over wifi. Or use GoSMS and set to split long texts in settings.
If you want to record video and need the flash on I found Tjunks video camera in the Market has that option.

Please feel free to share other tips and tricks here. I want this thread to remain noob friendly so if someone asks a question that has been answered 100 times in the CM7 thread please just answer it nicely. Let's leave that thread to Development and bug fixes. Thank you my friends.

As for themes I always hate searching the market, but it is where I end up all the time. Sometimes a Google search makes it faster but not always. There is an app on the market that allows you to sort cm7 themes by price, but I wasn't a fan.
People have mentioned a paid 4g widget that works, but the toggle has been working since a couple nightlies ago. I'm on nightly 10 with shadow kernel and getting great performance and battery.

Have you tried K9 mail (free from market)? I dont use it anymore, but I found that to be the best email app for managing multiple accounts.
You guys are the best! Thanks for the great suggestions. Will get nightly 12 tonight and K9 and check out that theme listing. Will probably just end up modding framework-res myself...that still works on CM7 right? LOL.

While I agree, it was ugly as hell, I was able look past that, seeing as it provided the functionality I needed. Interested in other options as well, paid or otherwise.

Try Enhanced Email (although I admit I haven't used it with exchange - just to manage two gmail and one yahoo account). Has a widget with #of unread emails and a bunch of customization options (different colored icons appear on the status bar for each of the accounts). I liked this app much better than K9. It's paid but can be had for free on applanet (just not the newest version).

Speaking of noobish questions, here are two - how does one add a speedial and a one-touch search function to the stock CM7 dialer? Haven't figured out how to tie speedial #s to digits, so have been using Big Dialer App for this (but would prefer to stay stock as Big Dialer is ugly as hell). I also miss the TW ability to search through contacts by letter from the dialer screen - now have to hit contacts -> menu -> search which is pretty annoying. Any advice? Would prefer not flashing a theme.

You can search by letter on the dialer screen. Try it.

Side note from previous link I posted. Looks like https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.list.tmobile.themes. Is a more convenient way of browsing these themes from your phone

Deca himself! (bowing down) thank you sir for all of your amazing work.
Yes, the T9 contacts search option works pretty well... needed to select search T9 in dialer preferences.
I found a thread with a way to implement speed dial without getting rid of stock CM7 dialer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369776
It's a market app. Unfortunately, it is either this speeddial app or the t9 contacts search option - T9 search has to be unchecked for it to work. There is no long-press function for this app, it is very no-frills. While it is not a make-or-break feature by any means, but it would be nice to have a long-press speed dial option baked in a future nightly (so it could coexist with T9 contacts search).

If you run multiple accounts in k9 like I do, go into account settings for each one. You can set it to show pics after clicking (default, yuck), only from contacts, or all, among many other settings you will want to personalize.

I hope we can keep this thread going so everyone can get CM7 setup the way they like.
I really like the idea of a thread like this as I don't want to be flamed for filling the cm7 thread with n00b Qs.. the epic has been my only smartphone.. so cm7 and non-touchwiz is still new to me..
