I've been using Zipee's port of the desire HD for about a week now but realized I use my camera more than I thought. I really like the new HTC music player and Gallery and was wondering if it's possible to port those over from the desire rom?
Anyone know if this is possible?
57 views and not a single response?? Cmon people, someone's gotta know!
there is almost certainly an official update coming from HTC/Sprint to the Evo that will include ALL the new features. Cool your jets. Do you really need someone to hack a semi functional version together in the mean time?
"almost certainly" is a feckless term when it comes to compaines like sprint pushing out new software developments--so yes, it would be nice to have the new versions on the rom I'm using currently. I'm sure it's not that hard of a task considering the thousands of ports there are from various roms.

Hi all Im new to Android and before I got the desire i was umming over the xperia x10, is it possible/likely someone will come up with a version of the UI on that to stick on the Desire?
FreedHome has an Xperia-like skin; if you install it, you can download it. Check here or here. Dunno if it's what you're looking for, though.
I was thinking more with a ROM with Timescape cooked in http://androinica.com/2010/03/29/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-review-timescape/
I just didnt know if it was possible or not, I have no idea about cooking ROMS but I know there are a lot of talented chefs out there who could do it
Anyone interested in a ROM with timescape at all or am I the only one?

Looks like you're the only one
No one wants to downgrade to 1.6 just for a UI =/
timescape is not good... before I had the Desire... I had bought a X10... after 2 weeks I had send the X10 back to the store and change it with the Desire.
the function of the x10 is very basic at this moment. there is only a overview of messages. the timescape is not a full home screen. you can't add apps on timescape. if you want add apps on the screen, you must go out timescape and use the standard android home (3 screens) ...
sorry for my bad english...

Sorry, but isn't that a bit like asking a Farrari owner's club for tips on how to install a Skoda dashboard on your new Farrari?
I too longed to buy an X10 until it came out. When I finally held one in my hand and played around with it, I got the distinct feeling it would be a let down like my Satio. I nonetheless mulled over getting an X10 for a while just because of the camera.
Unless we can upgrade our camera hardware to an X10 camera, putting anything else from Sony Ericsson on the Desire would be like intentionally crippling the phone.
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

no thats not what he was asking if you take what he said at face value. he was asking something that he could have had an answer for just by searching or manually looking at pages past page 1

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.
Hey y'all! I am new to this ROM hacking and everything else but in the past month ive been really experienced! I got all the software, apps and everything!
I am wondering if it is possible to extract the HTC Camera software, all the apk's and lib files, and paste them on to the stock android ROM, will it work? I have done it with things like Swype files, and further software files.
So does someone out there know if its possible to put Desire Z Files on the G2 stock android to make it work? and have some D-Z features on the G2?!
Also another cool thing would be If I can use the stock android Texting app or texting software on the Desire Z ROM?
Other things that I am thinking about are:
The Dialer
Contacts
Texting UI Software
Also, To anyone that has the Desire Z ROM running on the G2, when tethering, does it only tether 3G Networks? Or is there a feature that enables 4G? Thanks!
So I've tried something similar with the clock widget, but when I tried to install, it failed and said it was missing a certificate. My guess is the same thing would happen for all of these.
Aw man, but some things might work right? what about a stock g2 lickscreen for the desire z rom? i can never get used to sliding that thing down
Eventually, there will be hacked up ROMs with bits and pieces from every corner of the earth - I wanted the same thing on my Nexus (stock with the HTC cam) and there were a few options (though all had bugs here and there). Given the G2 was *just* permrooted, it might be a few weeks/months before you see some really creative ROMs.
Other stuff, like the lockscreen, can be changed with apps like widgetlocker and such.
You should definitely try out the Desire Z rom, though. It's all kinds of awesome, with new features that weren't there in previous versions of Sense. Hell, the camera app alone is worth it - makes the stock Android camera app look like a joke.

Oh I know man its amazing, I installed it a few days ago and I havent even thought about stock anymore haha its pretty great and the Camera is AMAZING
I would like to try the touchwiz use interface on my HTC desire as I am just curious, i know that it somehow "sucks" as people claim but I just wanna play around with it, anybody has the links to the Rom? And can I get it working on my desire? And err, just another question, is the OTA update to 2.3 for the desire out yet? Of not, when is it coming to Singapore?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I don't think there's a TouchWiz port out there just because sense is better in every way by far (my 2cents). The devs here don't want to loose precious time by porting something that doesn't have that lot of interest. Maybe you should try a Samsung phone for a while if you have access to one.
there is a port of the touchwiz launcher
Hey everyone!
I am formerly of the Windows Mobile camp and finally made the jump over to Android. My Droid Incredible 2 comes in [hopefully] by the end of this week. I've played with Android as a dual boot on my HTC Touch Pro2, but it certainly doesn't compare to the look and feel of a real Android device.
So, I have a few questions that have been burning in my mind, maybe some folks could help me out.
What are the different versions of Sense on HTC's Android devices? I hear good things about the newest version, but I am told that the DInc2 doesn't have the latest and greatest.
Does anyone playing with the leaked Gingerbread ROM know if the Sense version was updated at all, or are there hardware requirements stopping that from happening?
What is up with HTCSense.com, I hear the DInc2 won't be compatible with the site, any idea why? It seems like a really good value-added type of feature.
What are some of the benefits of the upgrade to Gingerbread?
Any good suggestions for managing notifications? My fiancee just got the DInc2 and she charges it in a different room. I like to use my phone as an alarm clock, but I noticed notifications going off all night on her phone. Any way to stop notifications between certain hours or even just toggle them on and off easily? Ideally I would like to automate this with a way to override sometimes.
Any general advice that folks have for the phone itself?
Thanks everyone, and sorry for the extremely noob questions.

I only have 1 thing to advise. Wait for root. Don't put that ruu on, the you can try whatever Rom comes out. Cm7 blows sense out of the water

Try Shush! Ringtone Restorer. It silences your phone, and lets you choose when it will automatically come back on.

Kind of like Timeriffic??
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alfray.timeriffic&feature=search_result
sense was not and will not be updated throughout the gingerbread roll out for the dinc2, probably any bugs or issues in the system will be addressed but i don't see them giving us a different version at all.
Thanks for the help folks!
Shush and Timeriffic seem like they might be what I am looking for. I'm not too hung up on Sense being an older version, I think what I was thinking of was when I heard HTCSense.com and its backup utility was said to be not compatible with the DInc2. From other things I have read, it appears that it will purposely never be compatible because of Verizon.
I'm also really really hoping this phone gets the ability to play Netflix Streaming. If the original Incredible can get it, I can't see why they can't find a way to make it compatible with the newer model.
