Pulled the apk from the Desire Z dump and tried to run it on my G2 but it failed , Wondering what else i would need to get this to work
i don't think it will work just like that. you need a lot of sense or such to make it work that's why it never made its way to cyanogenmod .. miui guys from japan know how to do it but i don't think they want to tell how to do it.
You can't run any sence app on anything besides the rosie launcher. You can sometimes install it but it won't work, the app is written deep in the framework.

Kernel most likely doesn't support it.

Something is definitely missing
Just to see what I got, I downloaded the attached APK and used adb to install it, and then ran “adb logcat” while trying to launch it. The result is that it force closes right away, and from the output of logcat it looks like it is definitely missing some sort of libraries.
I'd post the thing but it's huge. Essentially, though, it winds up crashing because it expects something to be present that isn't; that's likely this sense thing that others have mentioned.
I suggest reading (and following along with) the thread in the Nexus One forum about getting FM Radio going on that phone. My guess is that whatever those guys come up with should also allow FM Radio on the G2 once it becomes possible to modify the G2 kernel to get the relavent drivers running.
Like its been mentioned it usually requires sense and the kernel to support it. Only the sense roms on the nexus one could use it. Not a developer at all but from what I understand so far, it is what is required.

it's working on the n1.. i assume you will need root to use it so if u plan not to root then don't expect to see it. for now thanks miui for the help.
Isn't the FM Radio a system app? That means that we won't be able to use it until we have write access to /system. So if you want to be able to even install it properly, you need to wait until we have root. From there we have to disassemble and find all the dependencies on the sense framework and port them back in. Also, I am sure that you'll need to use some of the corresponding libs.

May be a stupid question, but is there anyway to extract the new version of sense from the HD Rom and add it to a EVO rom so we can have the new sense and all our other phone features working?

I think having just sense rosie, lock, music, etc is what he was talking about. A flashable zip to update your current Rom, not a camera broken port. I would love the same.
I believe is not possible since they haven't done it yet , but maybe we get an update with the new sense which imo it was supposed to be for froyo since all the features like backup all the apps is a froyo thing and we didn't get it in ours cause they wanted to show this.phone with 2.2 asap, and not another deal beaker like the hero

Im glad you know what people are meaning to ask
I would hope, that everything said is taken at face value and people don't try to look for some hidden message
I know about the roms floating around out there, have flashed a couple, but they all have something broken, hence "having all our phone features working." A flashable zip would be the ticket, that way we could update whichever rom we prefer using...
HTC weaves sense into android very deeply so it's easier said then done, but people are still working on it so it could happen. Even so if HTC sticks to their pattern and releases another towards the end of the month they may beat us to it. Either way it's not something you're likely to see in a flashable zip that can update ROMs, it's too drastic of a change.
Difficult :/
I have been working on such a thing for almost two weeks now. It started when I just wanted the new music ui. I tried porting that and then I found that after porting it wouldnt show up in the programs list so i needed to modify some files to get it in there. I got that far only to find that it would crash on opening. Further investigation showed that when you open the app it also loads the matching widget and DLNA stuff. I proceeded to port both of those also to find that the DLNA stuff requires a customized wifi stack. Still havnt fixed that but I also found that all of them rely on the HTC copyright apk which cannot coexist with the one already on the EVO that everything elce uses. Simply put, it would just be easier to port over everything than just parts. Sorry bud

Ditto, similar thing happened with me trying to port the "People Widget". Just to much stuff is tied together. In the meantime I am working on an app for Comcast Voice.
I have been running Uncommon Sense 1.1 for quite a while on my Incredible, and my absolute favorite aspect is the center Rose button being linked to a modified version of App Folders instead of the normal app drawer. Folder organization is pretty important for me due to a large quantity of apps.
Anyhow, I am now finding myself interested in changing ROMs (I used to test drive multiple ROMs a week, it's weird staying tied down). The problem is, I want the folder organization I've gotten used to mapped to Rosie.
The question is, how can I modify a ROM to achieve this? I have never modified a ROM before, and this sounds like a tough one to start with. My first inclination is to simply take the Rosie.apk from Uncommon Sense and plop it into a different ROM. But given than App Folders was modified in Uncommon Sense, would this work? And how would I do it? Or would I have better luck remapping Rosie to add the unmodified App Folders?

MynWArm is a great ROM.. I prefer stock, I deodexed the most up to date Nov. OTA update completely rooted and busyboxed and deodexed. Which means you can run the stock ROM and add Modifications that you enjoyed such as the rosie modification. in mynswarm rom he has an app called rosie settings which you can choose the left and right buttons makes it sooo easy. lemme hook u up wit some links. I am uploading these things for you so I hope you use it.
step one, make sure your rooted S-OFF
download this stock ROM I deodexed, it's completely stock doesnt have any name or anything like that.
here is the ROM http://androidforums.com/incredible...dexed-added-root-nov-update-any-interest.html
or direct download link - http://www.multiupload.com/2KS0OS60DR
then you need to Flash this file from recovery once the ROM is up and running.
I'm uploading just for you so, I hope you use this.
flash from recovery, http://www.multiupload.com/5FLXLMGJHO
this will take a good ten minutes so boot, so don't panic and pull the battery it'll work.
once you have this flashed and phone is on and running you'll see something famililar to myns warm, rosie wise, you wont be able to use any of the buttons except the middle for all apps, this is were you take this .apk -
this part is really important download this .apk
http://www.multiupload.com/W4IX7D2423
and install your favorite way, I used astro to do it. but once this is instaleld open the app and you can change the left and right buttons to whatever..
all credit goes to the creators or mynwarm I just prefer to do the themeing myself, this is just an amazing mod that lets you change the rosie shortcuts in an easy to use app.
Awesome, man. That will probably do pretty much everything I need. Or probably pretty damn close to it. I'll try it out tonight and let you know how it goes.

I couldnt be anymore of a beginner at this stuff! Found a pretty thorough vid on how to root so I feel I have that part down. The only thing I cant seem to find a straight answer on is where do I download Froyo?? The rooting method I found I want to use seems to require you to install the new rom right after but I need to get it first. I dont want anything special, just the basic official Froyo for the Tmobile MyTouch 3G Slide. Where do i find it? :-(
Quoted from the CR Mod thread in the development section. (Stock Froyo OTA). If you need further support with the rom please see that thread. It is close to the top.
This >>> CR_Mod_2.13.531.1_OTA
If you live in the dark after my little rants from the other threads its a ROM based off the patch set from T-Mobile's official (unreleased) Espresso 2.2.1 update OTA with all patches from 1.18, 1.27, 1.35, 1.35.531.3, and 2.13 applied. It is rooted and de-odexed but otherwise stock. It has the old market but it updated for me within 5 minutes of signing in. It has LWPs capability in Sense, apps2sd, and the newest radio as it is required for the Kineto features (WIFI calling) etc. I'm spent and need to get some rest.... Have fun guys... CR

i dont know anything about either really. They both seem to have come out at the same time. Im hearing Gingerbread isnt officially out yet but I dont know.
Tried to do the rooting thing today and everything i downloaded for it, i was told i had to download something else for it to work. I barely got started and just frustrated with it. Doubt ill be doing anything now and just live with what I have. Its all just over my head
I feel ya on the "over my head". When i first started rooting (G1) it was trial and error and the slide is much more difficult than the G1 to root. But thats what it is, if your not a computer savvy guy, just trial and error. Depends how bad you want control over what your phone can do.

anyway to get that apk file to work on other roms, Sense and or AOSP? i searched around and same people were asking same question as me but for the desire. they had no help in the thread (dated back in 2010)

Have you tried extracting the apk and pushing it via adb or root explorer? If I'm not mistaken miui is like sense in a way, some of the core apps won't function without the launcher and main components. I mean the music app and a few others will work on other roms but main apps like phone, setting, SMS, all need the miui framework to actually work. I could be wrong but that's why no one ever mentions it because they'd rather just run miui itself.

Im sure many people have tried it but why run the sms app and not just the whole miui. It's just going to force close because its missing the other miui components. The sense mms.apk is the same way; it wont work without the HTC framework. Someone tried to get the miui sms apk working back when I had my cdma heroc and failed. Moral of the story: just run miui (which I hate lol).

Forgive me if this had been adked or explained before... the search function in the xda app is only gigving me results for custom roms... no matter what I search for... but that's besides the point.
Lately there has been a lot of apps in the market that have been saying that they are incompatible with my device, but the work on my wifes phone (original cliq not rooted) and my moms gtablet (vegantab7rc1), I'm running a cm7 nightly ( I forget which one it was around the 1st of september) I have changed my lcd density to 200... would that be the reason why?
And insight would help, thanks
Sent from my T-mobile G2 using XDA App
If the app can run on a Cliq, your phone will have no problem running it. I'm sure its something happening that the Market is identifying your device as a "Generic HTC phone" or something of the sort, and doesn't necessarily know the specs. I've flashed many many ROMs in my time and the Market identifies each one differently, I've just stopped paying attention.
The Market isn't stopping you from downloading the apps, is it?
The market prevent's us from downloading it.

yeah, if i side load it, it runs fine, the market isnt allowing me to download it, and according to my market settings... it identifies my phone as a tmobile g2... so maybe the market is broken...
Does your device by any chance have a different LCD density then the androids default 240? If so this is your problem. this happens with mine and my brothers G2, if the G2 has a different LCD density then 240 the new market, and only the new market (not the old one), will say some apps are incompatible. Try making sure you have the default lcd density set and reboot then retry downloading the app. The only way ive found to keep your custom lcd density AND be able to download any app is to revert back to the old android market.
I have the same issue. No change in lcd density. But any rom I use that is CM7 based has some issue with an app being incompatible. CM7 nightly said Facebook was not compatible. SuperCM7 says Evernote, MexDroid said Youtube.
I don't know what is wrong. I don't know if it has anything to do with the build.prop. I did change the prop to use Netflix. But I don't know if that is really an issue, since all roms seem to have this fixed and have there own build.props.
Over all, I am at a loss. Superwipe does nothing...factory reset did nothing. Any Rom that I've used has had some issues with compatiblity
