Stock + Sense UI apps (using stock stuff on HTC Desire ROM)

Many seem to want the HTC Desire ROM for Sense UI just because of the HTC apps and widgets. People like me prefer the Stock experience with the HTC apps and widgets installed.
Some of the reasons for this include the preference of the consistent Googley look and feel, smoother scrolling on stock apps, and many other objective and subjective reasons.
Modaco provides an Online Kitchen for making custom HTC Desire port ROMs for N1. On the kitchen, you can choose to not include the Sense/Rosie app in the ROM. This is a huge step to creating the stock look and feel. How do we install the custom launcher without the need to bake a custom ROM with the Online Kitchen? Will this also convert the overall look and feel to the stock one?
Because we can't install HTC apps and widgets without the whole HTC Sense UI framework, how do we achieve seemingly having a stock ROM look and feel + HTC apps and widgets?

Code:
adb shell rm /system/app/Rosie.apk
will drop Rosie and give you your standard launcher. I highly recommend grabbing 'Root Explorer' from the Market and perusing the /system/app dir.

Coool!
Just wondering, great sir, why did you decide to drop Rosie?
edit: oops. I thought, you meant, you're going to drop Rosie on the HTC Desire port ROM. I misunderstood. Sorry

I was able to drop Rosie.
This can be done by simple using Home Switcher (an app on the Market) to use "Launcher" instead of "Rosie" as the Home app. However, HTC widgets can't be used without Rosie. HTC apps are fine without it, though
Still a step forward.
EDIT:
I also noticed that things are still kinda laggy. Scrolling the stock app list isn't as smooth as how it is on stock or other ROMs. Probably, the lag is caused by the ROM. It's still in alpha so we'll just have to wait. Still very early now

I figured I was in the minority here with zero interest in senseUI. I quite like the stock look/feel of android 2.1 but can fully appreciate the user experience the widgets and such inside sense provides.
I do wonder if all of the rom creators are going to jump on the senseUI bandwagon and move away from the stock experience leaving those of us who rather not touch HTC's bastardization out in the cold Thankfully Paul seems to be keeping everyone in mind with his roms...I wonder what Cyan is going to do with future releases...
...this post contains zero useful information

Strange is, that on Hero (with SenseUI) everybody wanted a stock rom without it, and on Nexus (without SenseUI, you know) everybody wants these lame senseUI.
I like this smooth on stock Android, hoping, that Paul and cyanogen creates there good stuff, based on real Nexus code wthout anything of the HTC stuff.
I dn't know, why there is so much hype about these Desire ROMs for Nexus.
I belive it will be better to make the stock ROMs better...

2,5 things interesting me in Desire rom:
1) HTC PDF Viewer
2) highlight text for copy (like on iphone)
3) flash player in web browser (it's 0,5 thing, because work not well on all websites.... )
I hate the rest... (after test Paul roms) it's just my modest opinion!

Because we would like to have some sense app on stock rom! not to have Desire rom with stock apps!
You make a great work but for my daily use, there to much bug for now... (bluetooth, flash, missed app in market, etc...)
I'm sure in next weeks I could make another good try on your rom!
PS: did you see my private msg on Modaco? thanks!

Dislike sense UI love the stock look.
But HTC'S framework do have quite a few added extras that would make the stock 2.1 awesome all around.
one being the select text format similar to the iphone. The camera on desire is 100x way more attractive then the stock one. The htc camera makes you feel like your holding a 2010 product. The stock camera feels and looks like is a polaroid cam.
To have desire with everything it brings widgets, apps & have the stock look feel and dialer is my DESIRE.
The dialer on HTC'S is awful. I am so used to stock 2.1 contacts app is just awesome.

you cant run the widgets and thats what the OP was talking about.

I'd like to use the stock contacts and dialer because the HTC dialer doesn't let me dial out using my google voice number.

I'll give you numbers one and two. At least the nexus will be getting (as far as we all know anyways) full flash (10.1) while the desire thus far has flash lite...
These three are not enough to keep me stomaching seuseui though.

Its all a matter of opinion on what you like. I was trying to get a lot of what the senseui does natively already on my stock 2.1 so it makes things easier for me. I can't see all that much of a difference in stock 2.1 vs. senseui in terms of how it looks anyways. Just a couple small visual differences.
The senseui has a lot to offer over stock. The apps, widgets, clock, lock screen that allows control over music, better copy and paste, browser is better, ability to call someone from any screen and not have to worry about finding phone icon, flat scrolling for me in programs is better than a 3d scroll, dark status bar unlike the white stock,
Most of this can be done through market apps and or tweaks done to a stock rom but this seems to do it better all in one. The things senseui does not have that are on stock I just move over.

I only meant that with senseui the phone icon follows you through all 7 pages as opposed to the stock 2.1 where you have to click on the actual phone icon to launch the dialer.

Simple solution for that really...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630659
Obviously this mimics the way sense handles things but such a simple mod removes yet another reason to change the entire interface.
I don't find the sense ui intuitive, nor do I like it as a whole much in the same way I don't like apple's ui or find it intuitive
But as you said before, it's all a matter of opinion. I assume if I were to force myself to acclimate to sense, I would get used to it. This all becomes a moot point though if/when flash 10.1 hits for our phones and not for the desire/sense. People will have to choose between full flash (assuming that the desire sticks with flash lite) and sense...unless someone manages to build a nexus-centric rom with sense baked in

hi
good job, nice theme
ps:Take shoot me on market for make screen shoot it's free ;-)

Nice!
I wish there would just be option to use Circle Battery A for this.
And get rid of that android robot on pulldown bar.

If you want to change bits do what i did, open the file and change the images, im not a dev. I made this how i like it from other peoples work. I uploaded it here just to share it. I'll try and post a how to later

Can someone tell me how to install this or point me to a link that explains how.
Many thanks

Yeah, had to use the blue carbon theme as a base to get the battery to work properly as the original one i wad using only had 8 stages.
Wanna do a "how to" next so people can add their own icons and custom battery images. Think if the masses new how easy it was, we could have alot more themes.
Im no dev nor graphic designer but managed to chop it all together.
Im sure someone out there could build a solid base file ?
Ps. Any chane of getting this on the mini site, as it was designed to work on leedroid ?

Could you please tell me what files i have to change to get a transparent notification bar whit circle mod A?
Or if you could manage to put that together that would be even more awesome

I was looking for this, very cool!

Nice one markhd. Youve inspired me to get theming. I spent a good part of yesterday learning the ins and outs and after many nandroids and boot loops ive figured it out. Im gonna check out themes for other sense phones like incredible and evo and see what i can port over(if i can). Cheers

So your saying I have to flash my ROM to change the theme? Damn I didnt realise it was such a big deal. Think I'll pass.
Thanks

you have an desire rooted James ?

No havent rooted yet because I havent had a good enough reason to do it. I have a card that i bought so that I can create the gold card etc, just not got round to do it as changing the theme isnt enough to make me root it.

Hi james, the benifits for many people make it well worth while, in addition to themes there are many more things to play with. For example custom roms with extra features, the ability to run apps from sd fully, bootscreens, sounds, icons, widgets, even some apps ( do a search on the market). Various fixes for bugs and issues that have been corrected by devs on here are often only availably via a flashable .zip of which useually require root.
There are also risks involved, you could brick your phone / kill your cat / forget to do the washing up. But i have not known anyone on here have an issue that could not be fixed, and now orange uk is sorted i believe all rooting can now be reversed.
Anyony please correct above info above as appropriate as i wouldnt want to miss inform anyone, just tryin to help clear up some points.

very nice,
I did a bit of mixing myself a few weeks ago to rosie that you might like, most of it's from the gorgeous looking Riptide9's Color'N'Clear theme for evo

Looks cool mate, not so keen on the clock personally but thats just me. The icons look freakin awesome. Got some new widgets, facebook / twitter etc might mix these icons in too !q

Great theme, thanks for your work. Am using it on Alex-V 1.7 ROM.
Bit of a battery drainer though!

I like it, but any chances to mod this theme and have green buttons etc (not blue!)

I was about to boot into recovery and flash when I suddenly realized I was on the SuperVillainHD-train. I'm doubting that this will work.
Buuuut I'm gonna have to try, later.

awesome, let me know how it goes. I have just found 1 error so far. Got a FC on the contacts, but when I opened it again it was fine. Let me know if you have any other issues.

so far i am loving it
Great job.
It is just amazing this rom has now survived two devs who bailed on it(for good reasons, not hating).
1.) Again as with the others fast fast fast and with the OC/UV kernel and running everything as ext4 its smoking fast
2.) love the new framework mods, very gingerbready
3.) New market is freaking awesome!
4.) did i say fast!
The only thing i could think of would be the new swipe that is out. But i know some people dont use it so i am not going to harp on a personal preference!
Nice work good sir!
edit: just found that my market is crashing on me. I am running TB right now so i will let that finish and then reload to see if anything helps out! Otherwise good though! Thanks for the work

man, awesome timing....just did a roundabout with the darky's JPU that's based on 2.2.1 and after hours of going through the long install it still paled in comparison to aospMOD
i dont think people realize how amazingly fast this ROM is here.....in fact, there was a version of 1.0 that was linked in the original thread by a guy named tim that incorporated setiron's kernel into it and i'll be damned if i ever find anything as fast as that ROM
i'll give this one a go, though....apparently if you give it the ol' circle-jerk thread title people will actually download it

just a word of polite criticism, btw
the theme on this thing is better suited to black notification bar themes
i never updated to 1.1 on aospMOD for that reason alone (he did a similar theme with the green battery, etc etc).....the plain ol' vanilla theme with black icons is as good as it gets.

great rom...just did some gps nav and the tracking was great...it was only about 4 miles and 6 turns but tracked perfectly in first test.
the one thing i am missing is the ability to SPEAKNOW.
Is there a way to enable or reinstall (specifically the speaknow microphone is gone from google search bar and is gone from where i used it even more frequently Google Nav).
nevermind just had to reinstall voice search from market and it restored

NERO V3!!!! For those with hesitations holdups... quit it...

I have been cowering in the dark like a scared little girl for almost 3 months now with my vibrant. All i had the guts to go and try amidst all this developement was the OCLF lagfix by Ryan. OH BOY OH BOY i had a 2500 quadrant score that i could proudly show anyone... ya that and a 9 hour battery life and checking the net always hoping for the... ahem... froyo update.
That is until i got fed up and brooke loose.... Team Whiskey presented the Vibrant world with their custom ROM Nero 3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883379
I mean The boys do a good job explaining the specs so i won't go into that, i simply wanted this thread to put ANYONES mind at ease who is sitting the fence on this one, take the plunge bretheren.
I've had it for 3 days and here are my beautiful experineces..
-My brother Had the same setup i did, stock 2.1 with OCLF. And today we sat down and did a comparrison. After 11 hours of light use ( I was working, but handful of texts and a few calls) but same for scenerio for him, I was sitting at 75, and he had 43 on his battery, and that is a exponential decay, i Made it from waking up at six to bedtime with more than half left, and i'm a night owl.
I am a testimant to the fact that OCLF (lagfix not root) is a energy hog.
-Everything you have heard TW work so hard to provide us in thier time, they have included this in the ROM, so in my personal opinion its the snappiest and smoothest ROM available. my quadrant score is around 1800 with voodoo lagfix. So i am also a testimant to the myth that quadrant scores can be very dishonest.
I'm no dev, but i am a heavy USER, and i am well read about the vibrant. So post all your holdups here and we'll try and get them taken care of .
Preflash checklist:
1. Do all your backups, nandroid, titanium backup, etc..
2. Disable any and all Lagfixes
3. Hold onto your butts, this is gonna be fun

New found mods
1. libflashplayer.so.fix.10.1.105.6 (1).zip (3.55 MB): HEY A HULU HACK!!! So this allows you to watch hulu from your phone, but as of now its pretty slow, but give her a go, at least its SOMETHING. so here are the steps to install
a. Download zip to pc, unzip, and put the actual file unzipped onto sd card
b. Use root explorer, go to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib, and replace file with one you just downloaded, be sure to change permissions for user to write.
c. open broswer now, and in settings (i use dolfin HD) change "user agent" to desktop.
2. nero_nexus_boot_and_shutdown.zip (3.77 MB): Made by jocelyn so its safe. Its that fancy 4 flying color bootup and shutdown, very nice. clockworkrecovery flash, and as with all her stuff, it takes several minutes to bootup the first time, just be patient, after that its back to normal.

Proven Boot and shutdown animation/sound modification methods for NERO 3:
1. Gravis 86 Provided a great website to some software to make MORE of linda talking if you like http://cepstral.com/demos/
-I threw is "Bossman, you have a text", and "email awaiting". If thats your fancy, then download the cepstral software, with it create a few notifications, and the default save as a .wav file. You need to convert them to .ogg (lots of free converstion software out there). Then with ROOT explorer just slap them in /system/media/audio/notifications. this way when you go into sms message settings and click "choose ringtone" it will show up on the list.
-For bootup and shutdown mods follow this great thread http://androidforums.com/fascinate-...change-bootup-shutdown-animations-sounds.html. I can confirm his methods for bootup animation, shutdown animation, and shutdown sound all work great, as do all his animations posted. Only thing i can't get to work is bootup sound. May i suggest droid soiling the mac apple with his urine
Tips:
-When replacing bootanimation and sounds files. Caps matter, must be spelled EXACTLY as the origional file, and you can just change the old ones name if you want to keep it handy.
-Must reboot for it to take effect
-set permissions by long click, as user: rw and the other two as r and r. so it should be rw-r--r--

Where did you get the accurate battery from?

I have to agree that NV3 is a beast! It has made my vibrant into a whole new phone!

That's what I love about Android....so many ways to do so many things. No idea what switchpro is, don't use LP or BW.
First Pic:
1. ADW (you can use either regular ADW EX)
2. Use the swipe down (or up or whatever) to hide the taskbar
3. Battstat for the battery widget
4. Weather Bug Elite for weather widget
5. Clokr Evolution for the clock/date
6. Found the wallpaper on Flikie
7. ADW theme is default, but icons at bottom are from "ADW.Theme.Two (WhitVert)
8. Power Widget is stock Power Control from the Nero v3 ROM
Second Pic:
Mostly the same as above, just put in the AppBrain & SetCPU (color it to your desire) widgets.
Bluetooth and WiFi widgets are from CurveFish
Green Gmail is form the Gmail Unread Count widget
ROM is Nero V1

This ROM is hands down the best I have used yet. The others are great and all the devs deserve a big thanks and a lot of credit.
This ROM is just so smooth and FAST. It runs with my Nexus S with no problem and finally makes the Vibrant feel the way it should stock. Just the right amount of TW and all the goodness of vanilla.

Damn, we did a good job of hijacking this thread

I'm giving sammy until the 1st to deliver OTA because I make Nv3 my first flash on the Vibrant

isn't the point to convince people to try this rom?

Its my Daily Driver and its simply the best wrong I've ever tried.

I've tried lots of wrongs, but this one sure feels right!

Nero V3 is my daily driver. I have voodo enabled. It is fast and smooth.
I have not found any problems with this Rom. I have added joclyn's stay on fix when plugged in, her battery mod, then added the stock icons with color (not green) and circle battery.

Ya i guess that is technically the point, but to me happy reviews and pics are as good as proof as anything, so this is all gold.
Lolcopter, I'm really diggin the wallpaper, where did you find that? And I glanced over that blue keyboard mod, is it swype, one of the other keyboards, or for all of them?
AND you too Slow50, link or upload of the wallpaper plz?
Post links to your favorite mods and i'll slap em up on the first post, nothing like a one stop shop for the best N3 mods available

mini quiz

hey everyone, I am about to release my rom (swag squad) and I was just wondering what features people REALLY want to see.
If you could just post what features you want to see I'll try and include every feature in the rom.
I know this may seem like a stupid thread but I think developers can be much better if people just tell them what they want.
Just post any questions in the thread and the rom will be released in the next 2 days or so.
thanks,
ljbaumer

gingerbread would be much appreciated.

Haha. at this point the rom is going to be 2.2 until a stable version of gingerbread is released for one of the "new"droid phones (Dx, D2, D2g, Dpro).
I am working on status bar controls on the pull down. Like on cyanogenmod and MIUI.

AOSP!!
Cool themes and icons instead of vanilla

thanks for the response,
The rom will be themed and it will have totally different icons than AOSP because in my opinion the AOSP icons are ridiculous.
The rom is based off of gummyjar right now but I will soon convert it to being based off of fission (gummyjar was originally based off of fission also). If tanzite turns out to be a completely stable AOSP alternative I will consider basing it off of that but at this point I have my doubts.
I am going to include the stock AOSP keyboard along with an HTC sense keyboard themed to look like the MIUI one and the controls in the status bar will not be released alongside the beta but should be out once the rom itself is out of beta.
Thanks,
ljbaumer

I'm not too worried about themes as I have a set 'theme' I kinda patch in to every rom I run but a black status bar with white text would be good as the default imo. Not sure if any of these would make it but here's a few things I would like to see:
Gingerbread Keyboard as main kb - The latest release of it as a standalone addon works very well on the D2 and the shrink effect is now gone
AOSP Lockscreen sliders
You mentioned the status bar icons already, but I'd love to see those in a rom on the D2
Have none of the google apps installed to the system by default, let users install them from the market or backups
And the impossible one for last!!! A battery manager that doesn't force close 50% of the time!

I have a few suggestions:
1. A charging light would be much appreciated, half the roms out there dont have it and its really an issue for me as I always think my phone is not charging.
2. Use the latest ADW (If that is what you are going to use), I dont like installing a new ROM and not having the choice to add or subtract screens or changing any launcher settings.
3. Have an alarm clock in by default. One of the main reasons I use fission is because I can still use the blur alarm with it, as I am not really impressed with any other alarm clock on the market.
4. Speed is always nice but without blur these phones run pretty smooth so im not too worried.
5. Make it work. This is kinda general but I just want a rom that I dont have to fiddle with to make it work. I agree with an above poster to leave everything out and just let us install it but things like the camcorder, GPS, USB etc are things that should work out of the box I dont want to have to wait for a new release so I can find my way through town.
Finally, thanks for helping out with these phones. I had to go to stock (Blur) for a little bit the other day and it just kills these phones people like you make me happy that I dont have to deal with a slow ass phone after spending 200 dollars on it.

One version of the rom will come out with a black status bar and one will come out with a white. Neither of them are the stock black and white bar but modded versions.
I will try and include the GB keyboard and I didn't know it worked by itself. If you or someone could post a link to it I will include it as soon as I can. I also include a MIUI themed HTC keyboard which I think works incredibly well.
The rom dosen't include battery manager because of force close issues but under settings-about phone-battery use- you can see all of the things that have been using up the battery in the same way.
I think it will have the GB sliders at the beginning once it is released but soon after I will switch over to stock AOSP sliders with a blue option.

1: at this point I don't really know how to include a charging light lol. But if you give me the link to a rom that includes one I can probably figure it out.
2: personally, I am a HUGE launcherpro fan but I understand that a lot of people don't like having to pay $2.99 for the extra features and the free version isn't that great so I may end up including ADW launcher+launcher2
3:I will use the blur alarm clock
4:there will be basically no blur except for: camera, camcorder ( i think blur camera and camcorder work much better), alarm clock, and files.
5: I don't really get what you mean by let you install GPS and USB...
Thanks for the feedback,
ljbaumer

Try basing it off of Ultimate Droid for D2 when the final stable is released. It's AOSP and RC2 is running damn well on my D2, minus GPS and camcorder.

i wish there was a way to get the iphone keyboard i know the market has lookalikes but they dont perform like the real one (thats the only thing i like about iphones btw) or to stick with android it would be fantastic to get the dinc sense keyboard if there was some way to make it work.

1. Fission is really the only one I know that has it.
2. I would really appreciate that.
3. Thank god.
4. Awesome. I completely agree
5. I just mean that some ROMs don't have the basics down. When I install your rom I want my phone to work. I dont mean that we should be able to isntall that stuff just that it works.

1: I will end up basing it off of fission but the first release will be from gummyjar2.1
5:the rom should 'just work' and I would never release some crap that people have to work on forever for it to look good and run well because I hate those roms also.

Iphone keyboard would be hard because it uses a different file type for applications and I would have to spend forever porting that over and I would probably need to finish learning java and the android APIs (which I am working on).
The sense keyboard is a themed droid inc keyboard and it will end up using the gingerbread keyboard and the sense keyboard will be a second option.

i would love to have status bar controls on the pull down!!!, oh and rotary lock screen, thats pretty much all i would like, it should be smooth, fast, and sleek

status bar controls are not the easiest thing to port and it won't be there on the first release but should be there pretty soon after.
I would usually be totally up for anything a user want EXCEPT for rotary lockscreen.
Sorry guys but rotary lockscreen is not going to be featured in swag squad because personally I hate how it looks. sorry
Right now I am converting the base of the rom to fission. I would release the rom right now except for my website and paypal donate are not up and I want those things to be up before IU release the rom.

thats fine i can live without it, if we get the status bar controls

lol
I'm almost done moving everything over to the fission base, I just have to make the black status bar theme and then test it out.
I will work on my website tonight and hopefully I can finish it by the end of tomorrow so I can release the rom.

All my requests have been slowly added to various ROMs so far, except one. Notification power controls would be absolutely amazing. The one feature I've never seen on a D2 ROM that I want a lot.

Well I just finished moving it over to a fission base so that is all i am working on
can't wait to release this thing

Fast responding. Good battery life. Stable. And everything said above. And as much gingerbread stuff as possible.

It should be very fast especially since it is based off of fission which is just about as fast as roms get on the DROID2.
Battery life should be decent as well.
Gingerbread is not really my thing but there should be a fair amount of gingerbread apps included.
Thanks,
