Hi,
Is there any possibility that you smart guys could extract only the exchange capabilities from HTC's SENSE?
edit sorry guys
1. Wrong section
2. Search Button
3. ... all I am going to say.
Thanks,
There you go. Give it a try.
More politely put no it is not possible but you can use senseui with the normal launcher and have your exchange support.
Or just use touchdown OR motogal and motocal
Widgets
My problem is that I LOVE the widgets. the Calender Widget to be specific. I wish the Android calender would merge Exchange and Google calender information and present it out on a unified calender like HTC does. And I used Modaco's kitchen to dump the Sense UI but that also leaves me without the calendar and mail widgets :-(
Not working
Talderon - I have searched but didn't get a satisfying answer.
InGeNeTiCs - Tried it (adb push), but I don't see any new app..
genibus - If I get you correct, you are saying that the only possible way is using HTC Desire's ROM?

I need to overlay google cal and exchange cal. I am using calwidget which is nice, but I need a full calendar app. (i.e - pick a specific date, and see whats happening in both calendars)
I need to accept calendar invitations from exchange (Push) - motocal can do it only if I happen to navigate to the date and see the event invitation there. there's no way to know you received an invitation, and there's no centralized place where I can see my invitations.
I need to be able to search GAL from the email application. I have motogal, but it's not what i'm looking for. let's say someone sent me an email, I want to forward it to someone in the company. I dont want to go to motogal, search, copy, paste... I want to have the search in the TO field of the wmail app.
I need to search email and calendar..
These are the main problems...
Thanks for the help
Why do people seem to believe that everything can be ported, or "extracted" from everything. Not everything (as sad as this may be to some) can be ported to every single 'thing'. People seem to constantly ask for things from HTC Sense here, but they do not seem to comprehend that HTC Sense requires a specific framework, without Rosie we cannot simply port every minor detail over to the standard Vanilla Android. (From MY understanding, I could be wrong, but this is what I was taught).
Get the Desire ROM, or a imitation, and stop requesting..
This was not directed to the thread creator specifically, though it was to people who are requesting widgets. I really wish people could become a little more educated.. unless me myself is wrong.

You can do all this already, or this is what you want to do?
Let me rephrase my earlier question, I think you misunderstood: What can you currently do that you will LOSE by going to the Desire ROM?

Because that's the idea behind the android OS? That everything is modular. Except that in this case HTC sense is a module for home, and not individual modules.
To the OP: If you want corporate usage, I believe it was pulled from the droid rom successfully. I've seen a few posts allude to it around here somewhere.

Well yes, I know that's the idea behind the Android OS, but not everything can be backported, extracted or whatever as easily as people seem to wish or think..

OHHH sorry I thought you asked a different question.
Actually, I wouldn't mind having a complete sense experience - That would be even better.
But I'm a little afraid to flash the entire Desire ROM because it's still experimental.. isn't it?
I'm currently with Cyanogen so it's not the idea of flashing that bothers me, it's just that specific ROM.
Thanks for your reply.

I'm guessing you are not familiar with the Nand Backup/Restore feature then?

OK.. Ill give it a shot..
I was just trying to find out if there's a possibility that I wouldn't have to go through this, because all I need is proper exchange support.
Thanks.
Curiosity.
Without a Rooted Incredible I assume I can't install the sensemail.apk on the incredible?
I tried and the app won't install although both are HTC Sense UI's?
Verizon seemed to have downgraded the HTC Mail to only one screen option. I wanted the screen widget that showed the messages in a list not by individual pages where you flip through them to read the headers(single page).
I also tried the extracted widget from the HTC Desire ROM and it didn't want to install. said it was an application error.
Any hints? or just wait for the root?
Hello,
I am currently using Tainted Vanilla. It has the stock lockscreen with a transparent background. How can I change it to a non-transparent background? Thanks.
I would suggest searching before you ask. There are threads about this already. It involves flashing new files and maybe some adb stuff if I remember correctly. Check the themes section or over in the hero cdma section if you're using a sprint based rom. A google search will more than likely turn up multiple threads on multiple forums.

You know, I did alot of searching on google and on this forum and cant find anything that is helpful. I am hoping someone knows how to change the nexus one lockscreen from transparent to non transparent.
I did find one zip with a lockscreen and a background but could not flash it. Anyone have the vanilla or nexusone lockscreen with a nontransparent background?

That one is the same one as the one he's using, it's just a patch to remove the HTC lockscreen. You can even see in the picture on the first post that it's transparent. It seems to work with EE with a background but its those stupid rendered grey blocks and you cant change them. DianeofArcadia found that picture in the system files but it cant seem to be modified to make it a different wallpaper. I asked the devs a few weeks ago and none of them seemed interested in helping figure it out and I dont know enough so if you find something let me know.
I flashed a hero theme over my aloysius rom that have the lockscreen a solid black background. I did read a site that has a method for making a background picture work. It pertains to the hero so I don't know if it would work for your vanilla rom. I just flashed a new rom so I don't have my bookmarks right now but I'll post a link tomorrow afternoon.
I figured google would turn up some results but maybe it's not as popular a topic as I thought. Sorry if I came off like a jerk
i'm also looking for this or a lockscreen that works with tainted that has the all the text removed. ex, carrier, clock, date.
Okay guys, this is what I found. Keep in mind that this is for the hero cdma so I have no idea if it will work for u guys, I haven't tried it myself, just sharing what I found.
Heres the link specifically for the wallpaper:

Here is the original thread, there are some neat things like removing text:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665652
Once again, I don't know if this will work for you but it's all I could find. looks like quite an undertaking, if you guys get it to work let me know I haven't had time to play for a couple of weeks.
AFAIK, the Heroc fixes will not work on Eris roms. Don't ask me why, but that's from my experiences.
Thanks for the information rentjr, at least now some might have an understanding of why it is being so hard to change and maybe we can come up with something. ???
thread should be moved to Themes and Apps

yeah, i love the eclair lockscreen. back before root and these mods started coming out, I used lockbot pro to get the eclair lockscreen. lockbot pro will let you put a background though, as an alternative you could try that. I found it a little laggy for my taste but it might be good for others
Hi Guys
Long time reader of these forums and have used the guides provided here numerous times. This is my first time post and it's a bit of a noob question but after looking around the forums, I haven't been able to provide a concrete answer.
I remember reading about Facebook integration with Android 2.0+ but could someone clarify how vanilla android interacts with Facebook? I am a huge fan of HTC Sense being able to pull down my friends info into my contacts. Also is there a way by which I can back up all my apps and contacts so that when I've flashed a new ROM I can just restore the data?
Again I apologise for the basic questions, but I couldn't seem to find any solid answer through my searches and I'm itching to put 2.2 on my legend.
Much appreciated
Linking Facebook and Google-Contacts works in 2.* as far as the names are the same. Ihaven't found a function like in sense where you can directly point to a specific FB-contact and link it to a google or phone-contact as you want. Regarding your second question, your contacts will be saved @google if you use a googleaccount, for backing up your settings and programs go with TitaniumBackup but your handset has to be rooted for this.
Thanks ^_^ I realised what I'd asked about the contacts only after I'd posted it >.< but all the same thanks for the info
Just btw, which fb app are you using (this goes to everyone) ?
Not a single one I tried so far was good enough.
I have the official fb for android but it doesn't display message whole threads when they are too long and when i click on a notification, it opens up in the browser.
Then i tried fb browser, but that one can't open youtube vids. It tries to open them itself instead of opening them in the yt app, but I'm unable to click on the play button.
the rest is either a copy of these 2, or comletely useless.

I just stick with the default android one...the lesser of the evils out there. But I agree with you in that the apps aren't as good as they could be. Who knows, maybe Facebook will announce some android related news at their mobile event today
I'm using the official one. There is an update, just installed it today. There is now finaly places and when clicking in the notification, no more webbrowser with touch.facebook.com is opened.
Hello all. These may seem like a silly question but I am not used to the MySense interface, so I downloaded Launcher Pro Plus.
My question is this, maybe I am just tired tonight, but is there anyway to just get to what I knew as the STARRED (favorite) contacts on my G2. I am using the People Widget on Launcher Pro Plus and have it syncing ONLY my Starred Android contacts, but I DONT know how to get to what were my starred contacts or how i would go about "starring" a contact again.
I DONT really want to use the Fave thing that comes on the MT4G.
Is there anyway to get my contacts to appear like they did on my G2??
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
1. Root your phone.
2. Wait for CM
3. ???????
4. Profit!
But really, I don't have the phone and I have no idea. I'll be watching this thread as I use Google to manage all my contacts and, if there's no way to do it on MT4G, it's not even worth it for me to get it.
It still uses your Google Contacts, but there is an add-on on the HTC MySense skin that I dont like as well as the vanilla Android.
To me it doesnt seem quite as easy to just add a favorite (starred in Vanilla Android) with the MySense interface.
I was trying to figure this out last night as well, I wanted to use launcher pro but want to use the people widget and im not exactly sure how to add people to it as the "add to fave" doesnt do anything
Hi guys! Fahrbot Mobile would like to invite Desire users to participate in our open beta of Balanced, an app that uses USSD commands to obtain useful info like account balance, number of free sms, minutes and traffic remaining.
It then silently parses the replies into beautiful minimalistic text widgets. We need beta testers on phones we dont have at the office, so please come and check out the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006487
awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Im glad you like it! We will have some very unique functionality after the RC in the commercial version.
Hello. After the update some days ago I can't add a properly working widget to the desktop. Just have the caption and nothing more. Before the update everything was ok. Is there any detailed instruction how to use Balanced now?
You might have to add the widgets again.
As for detailed instructions, we have decided not to include them as people never read them anyway.
What exactly do you need help with?
ftgg99, I sent a pm with screenshots to explain.
Thanks, ill look into it - but its a strange error that probably has something to do with your setup, because my own Desire HD is running the app perfectly.
I am on cm6 though...
I also use Desire HD with stock firmware but rooted. My friend has the same issue and also and Desire HD with stock firmware but not rooted.
Hi, could you please send me a logcat of the error? Please follow these instructions:
What you need to do is:
1. Download aLogcat from the market
2. Run aLogcat
3. Reproduce your error in Balanced
5. Go into aLogcat and pause
6. Use the share menu to send the resulting text either to [email protected] or via PM here at XDA
Thanks!
I dii it. Sent the log from zel***@gmail.com
New update - beta extended!
Beta has been extended again, please send us some useful logs and suggestions on improving the app!
i dont know why, but it keeps draining my credit by sending hundreds of message to the person i personally do with the same content. the only way to stop it is by uninstalling it. i set it to check my balance after every outgoing phone call and message, and also every time i tap the widget. but the concept and interface is superb, would like to see this problem solved
Mate, the app doesnt send anything. USSD requests dont cost you money. Your problem is something else entirely.
Or youre a troll/ the competition...

oh believe me, im not a troll, and i can't code for ****. i searched around too, and it looks like i'm the only one having this problem. anyway, maybe you're right, the problem is something else entirely but the reason I suspected the application was the problem is because the draining started when i set the widget up and ended when i uninstalled the application. i apologize if i tainted the image of your app in any way.
Dont worry, i wasnt offended, just tired of fighting an uphill battle.
Imagine getting hundreds of crash logs from people with no root trying to use Root Call Blocker. Then they send angry emails. Finally they leave 1 star reviews.
Anyway, this should cheer you up:
