2 Questions about HTC Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, just had 2 questions in mind:
1: Is it possible to get the HTC Locations App on the desire?? if so which rom?
2: If you use a 2.2 Froyo Sence apk backed up from titanium on a 2.3 gingerbread rom, will it work? or cause problems?
Thanks
p.s. sorry if these questions are already answers, links to answers would also be appreciated if so.

1) Not sure about other ROM's, but on my Cool3D AceS ROM I've got the locations app.
2) Not sure.

IF you back up and restore application then it is okay.
If you back up and restore system then it will cause problem..
I use titanium back up and no problem when restore application.

Sense WILL NOT work on an AOSP ROM.

1. Any Sense 2.1/3.0/3.5 roms should have it either preinstalled or as a flashable zip. I have it on Cool3D AceS v2a.
2. If you try restoring Sense on a AOSP 2.3 rom, it will not work as AOSP roms do not have the required framework.

Is it possible to get the locations app to work on a non sense rom? If so does anyone have it? I'm running on 2.2 oxygen rom. Rooted with s-off. Thanks

AFAIK it's not possible.

Don't try restoring system apks from one rom to another. You may do this only in one version of the same rom, because system apks use there own frameworks, which may not be compatible in different roms and they are in 95% of cases.

So this is just a stock vision Sense? I'm confused on what's added on Virtuous and not on stock Sense?
are there any screenshots?
thanks
Pretty sure its just vision sense.
Sent from my Rooted God-Like Htc Vision.
so... i can flash this on my Desire Z??
It's just almost Pure stock except:
Rooted with my customized version of Superuser (required until ChainsDD releases a version with my patches).
Deodexed with moderate compression throughout.
Busybox installed in /system/xbin.
Added large APNS list to /system/etc.
Yes,that`s all!
Otherwise its totally stock ROM.
Hi Guys! I have a short question concerning this ROM and Superuser
I used the 1.34 OTA Stock Sense ROM (right out of the box) and rooted my device with the HTC Vision Wiki tutorial. Everything worked fine.
Then "updated" to this ROM here and now my Superuser app keeps quitting as soon as I start the app.
I can't remove or update it (although there seems to be an update via Applanet).
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thx in advance

Can you capture and post a logcat of the failure occurring?
If I tried to use logcat on my device with Terminal Emulator and I get this error message:
"Unable to open log device /dev/log/main : Permission denied"
Does it mean I'm no longer on S-Off and due to that Superuser is quitting all the time?
does any1 have a release note for this HTC rom?
Does this make you lose all your data?
Just curious as its official if its possible to flash without losing everything (again)...
can I flash this to my Rooted G2 with Engineering SPL and Clock work?
Or does the kernel need changing and stuff?

long as you are rooted/s-off you can flash this rom, you can also use any of the kernels from here: http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/kernels/virtuous/2.x/ standard is the recommended =)
I want to try some sense apps, but not a full sense rom. Can I take these and push them to my CM7?
I will try in a bit
In short, no. Sense apps need the sense framework.
@Mnemoch Yes. If you're coming from another Sense ROM you can flash this without wiping - I flashed this over the official 1.72 last night and then added the standard OC kernel for Virtuous. It's smooth as butter

[Q] How do I install Apps2SD?

I've rooted my HTC Desire quite a long time ago and am currently running Official_FroYo_2.10.405.2, but have never installed Apps2SD.
I want to install it now as I'm running out of space in the pathetic excuse for an internal memory that this phone has...
My questions are:
- Can I install Apps2SD on the ROM I currently have?
- Do I follow just any guide? even if it's almost 2 years old? (for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535232), Or do I need to look for something newer, or more specific to my phone?
- What should I backup before I install Apps2SD?
Thanks in advance!
I feel best way is to install another rom with it built in. Try leedroid for familiar interface else you can check out miui or cm7.
There are also sense Rome with it.

[Q] How to return Incredible 2 to stock rom

All;
With all of the new roms and flashing available for the DINC2 - does anyone have a way to return to stock? Even though I did a full nandroid backup before putting CM7 on my backup is not restoring.
Any help is appreciated.

If your backup isn't restoring, you'd need to find a copy of the official rom and flash it like any other.

Yes... It's returning to stock.. the original ROM as you asked. If you want a stock based ROM then I'd suggest BoneStock or Nitsuj's modded stock rom... Both can be found in the development section.
original rom
you mean to say that original rom wont have any verizon apps and preinstalled games rite?

[Q] How to get Sense 3.0 on Htc Desire hd.Help please!

Hy all.
I just got a Htc desire hd yesterday with stock android 2.3.3 and i dont know a thing about rooting and hacking android(i had an iPhone 3gs before).So i would like to know how can i get the Sense 3.0 (like the one from htc sensations) on my htc? please someone explain this in a simple way,for dummies like me.
Please if someone want to help me.
Thanks.
Search this forum.. There are numerous guides on how to Root your DHD..
hy thanks
but i need to know the steps .... i dont know anything about this kind of stuff...
Hi,
welcome to XDA! You're generally better off asking questions on the Desire HD Q&A thread.
A stock (as in made by HTC) Sense 3.0 rom isn't available yet (if at all) but there are a few custom roms that dedicated teams have made.
Here's what I did to get 3.0 on my DHD - please note that all these steps may not be necessary but they're just what I did. Also I'm pretty sure they'll void your warranty as I think you'll need to root your phone to get a custom rom on there.
Firstly, read up on this stuff as ignorance = bricked device!
I started by looking at the sticky'd threads over on the Desire HD Development forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765
specifically M_T_M's roll up thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
which should contain all the info you'll need to back up, downgrade, root, s-off/eng s-off, flash clockwork recovery, wipe and install a sense 3.0 ROM.
I think you'll probably need to downgrade your phone from 2.3.3 to 1.32.405.6 (I could be wrong, but I don't think you can root 2.3.3 - I'm sure if I'm wrong someone in the know will correct me).
This guide seems to cover downgrading -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
then this guide is great for flashing a ROM etc -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
I'd recommend Virtuous Unity for a 3.0 Sense rom, but there are others out there.
Hope that helps
Good luck!

No problem, I know it can be hard if you don't know where to start.
1) Yup, it will erase the content on your phone, but shouldn't erase your SD card.
You can back your contacts up to the SD card through the People application:
people-> menu -> import/export -> export to SD card -> choose account to export.
this will save them as a .vcf file in the root of your SD card, you then reverse the process once you have your new ROM installed.
I think the most popular application to use to back-up your apps is Titanium backup (available from the market), however I think this needs root permissions, so you'll likely not be able to use it (if my previous assumption about not being able to root 2.3.3 is correct). I use a different app called Appmonster which I find better for restoring market links (personal opinion), and I don't think this needs root.
I think it's possible to back up your settings using the above apps, however I'm sure I read that it's not recommended, especially when moving to a sense 3.0 ROM.
Your photos and videos should already be on your SD card, however it might be worth using the (PC) sync software to sync them onto your pc first just in case.
I'm pretty sure you will like your 3.0 ROM, I love the one I'm using. however there are other threads that detail how to restore your phone to stock, I'm sure it's more complex than this (I've not tried it) but I would assume you just flash back a stock ROM. If your handset is network branded you could re-flash either the stock network ROM or a stock HTC ROM - I'd definitely read up on this before attempting it though.
Good luck!
cheers,
Grim
sense will come for dhd like desire s
thanks. again. i will have that in mind.now i am actually reading guides and threads on this forum so i do this right..

and isn't something , like a cydia store for android?someone should make a app like that ..i dont think is that hard,considering what huge and great Roms&Apps are the developers from xda making. something closely like it was on iPhone...for those like me who are new to those things..its quite hard at the beginning.
i know i am dreaming,but just saying..
really? where do u know that? because it will be real nice,and i am not actually so happy with voiding my warranty

THIS IS NOT TRUE, the desire HD will NOT receive Sense 3.0 a good example of this...http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/14/htc-sense-3-0-will-only-support-sensation-evo-3d-flyer-and-new/
Not officially at least, XDA is full of partial sense 3.0 ROMS, and I'm sure will be quickly growing with more and more full sense 3.0 ROMS
htc does however, state, they may try to work in a few htc sense 3.0 components into some of the other devices.
Thanks button is aways appreciated!

Not sure whether the official Sense 3.5 will comes.

[Q] Sense 3.0 on stock 2.3?

Hey Guys,
is it possible to install Sense 3.0 on a stock (rooted+s-off) HTC Desire 2.3? I didn't find anything.. I'm searching for a CWM flashable package without having to flash a whole rom..
Regards
nope, you can back up app data with many apps
stock you mean stock partitions layout or stock rom?
No you need an entire Rom. There is no generic sense patch to update only sense

I meant stock rom.. sorry.. It's a pity, that there is no patch for that.. I tried many roms and always something was there that I didn't like.. But one thing I liked very much is the sense 3.x interface.. Thanks for your answers!
