[Q] How to add HTC Friendstream and HTC Legend browser to HTC Hero Rom? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,I'm kinda new at this ROM Cooking thing,but can someone teach me how to add HTC Friendstream and HTC Legend browser to HTC Hero Rom?

Id assume you find the relevant apks and put into the correct folders, no? But only on sense roms as the HTC libraries are needed aswel, cant just add the apks to Vanilla ROMs.
But I know JACK about rom building!

Correct!
You'll only be able to do it with a 2.1 Sense Rom just now, not any of the 2.2 Vanilla ones availale just now.
It sounds like you're using a vanilla version, in which case you could use LaucherPro and use those widgets which basically do the same thing

Thanx pal,.. oh yeah, Launcher Pro,... Google 'launcher pro plus' and take a look at the alt widgets they provide.
And next time,... please post in GENERAL or QnA. Thanx

2.1? Why don't you use Villain12 as a base?

dont think its possible, i've never seen it done anywhere before

hello
RCMix 2.2b has friendstream and Legend browser.
Boot time is excelent, I'm currently using it with flykernel 10a.
And it's faster than VR12, I was also using that for quite some time
Simply remove unnecessary things from RC2.2b and You are all set
hope this helps.
Cheers!

Would love to see live wallpapers. One of the main reasons i rooted my wildfire. Please somebody help.
i don't know if this can help..but i have installed them on my wildfire..with these 2 files
http://download400.mediafire.com/9bq2au718iyg/1mnyzcxhzjc/LiveWallpapers.apk
and
http://download846.mediafire.com/22bqh4qd73gg/qnyhjlyjm3y/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
i have installed them normally with astro file manager..because via adb push in system/app i get the error of read only memory =)=)
and if i do "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system" is ok..but using adb push..and chancing mtdblock from 1 to 6..i allways get only 1 error..full memory
but..when i click on a live wallpaper..the application stops and i get an error..so they are there..but i can't use them..that's a shame!!!
I remember i had live wallpapers on my HTC Tattoo and that seemed okay, but that was on a custom ROM, so when a custom ROM comes for the HTC wildfire maybe it will good to go .

or we can choose for a custom rom ihihih =)

Btw, live wallpapers will come to wildfire, just wait the full root for people to look on a solution We can already enable JIT and we'll soon be able to O/C, combined to the low resolution (qvga), live wallpapers should run flawless
its possible. someone "just" have to compare for example hero`s hacked framework and see what they added to make it work. it is in the framework. and the work can be done right now if someone does this. i could try the package when its done if recovery havent been released at that time.

you dont brick your phone when flashing packaged for roms. it the rom stops working flash it from the beginning.
could someone do something like this for the wildfire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689168
ok after installing that zip i can confirm that it does work but it removes sense and replaces it with the stock homescreen and there is no way of getting sense back unless you restore from nandroid, and there is no interactivity with the wallpapers
Which zip did you install? And did everything work fine. I really want live walpapers on my wildfire.
I used the zip in the link above. It does work however it removes sense and it cannot be interacted with.

I just found it easier to download launcherpro or adw and do it that way. Not entirely sure though for a complete answer.

It's very much built into the rom. And with the amaze 4g's dual core 1.5 processor, adw or launcherpro isn't going to slow down the phone at all.

Once I used rom toolbox to get rid of all the sense feel. Use their app manager feature to uninstall all the sense you dont want

Use Senceless from ROM Development section. It doesn't have Rosie, htc facebook, htc twitter, widgets and a lot of other stuff is removed. It comes with Zeam launcher, but you can download another one and then uninstall Zeam.
I'm running it now, after restoring a few sense apps from Quiksense by using AppExtractor, and it's running great. It's no AOSP, but it's a super slimmed down version of sense.

Remove Completely HTC Sense UI

Hi,
This is a question to @The Android Manual, @MaartenXDA, @Stereo8, and other experts.
I want to delete Sense UI from my stock ROM. What files can I delete from system/app folder?
And if I delete Rosie.apk and I add Trebuchet.apk, did it start automatically as default launcher?
In your Half-Sense or Non.Sense.Revolution, what did you do?
Thanks in advance,
fulmix

It should work...Just click on home button and set it as default...However I do not think you should delete Rosie.apk if you want to use other launcher. You can simply set that launcher as your default launcher. I personally like Rosie.apk

Yes but I want to remove all files are with htc sense and give an semi-full Aosp-like rom.

Thanks for calling me an expert... :embarrassed:
So you could delete all Sense Apps and replace them with AOSP ones... (Mail.apk fusion.apk... HTC_IME.apk)
I'll make you a zip to flash to delete the sense apps and replace them with AOSP ones...
Or just flash Non.Sense.Revolution.B2 or Half-Sense 0.7...

If you want to remove Rosie.apk U can either use aroma file manager or....
1.Boot into Fastboot
2.Connect Phone To Pc
3.Start adb terminal
4.type 'adb shell' (without quotes)
5.rm system/app/rosie.apk
The rm command means remove it can remove any system app

I'm simply don't know why people are buying HTC phones and then make a huge effort to remove Sense from it. Sense is one of the main reasons why I buy only HTC phones. If you want to buy phone with vanilla Android go and buy some Nexus model or some ZTE crap that has a stock android installed.
SENSE RULES!!!

R: Remove Completely HTC Sense UI
Well.. Sincerly I bought Desire X only for Sense and I used it for a month but now for me Sense is only a way to make your phone slower and there are a lot of unused apps.
For this now I like more stock version. Is faster and simple and the ROM I will make will have only 250mb and not 400mb as Sense-based roms.

[MOD] HTC Widgets on 3rd Party Launchers V1.2 2015-08-16

I have created a mod using the VRTheme template to allow several of the stock HTC widgets to work on other launchers. I have only tested this on my rooted, but stock AT&T M9 running the 1.32.502.31 ROM.
To use this mod, you have to have Sense running on your ROM and the widgets already need to be installed. This mod is only designed to modify the widgets so that you can use them on launchers besides Sense Home.
To make this work, I decompiled the above apk files and dug around in the manifest to try and figure out what was preventing them from showing up in the other widget pickers. I figured out that for each of the widgets, there was an xml folder that controls aspects of the widget. In these xml files I found a line that was: htcControlFlag="1" By removing this from the xml or changing it to htcControlFlag="0", the widget is now free to be used. I recompiled the widget apk files and then just removed the modded xmls and put them all in this VRTheme template.
If you try this mod, please be sure to backup your system partition first. Also, ask any questions and I can elaborate on this thread later. Or add more of the widgets.
I would love some feedback from people running the international versions.
Updated 7/20/15: I found that the Android 5.1 version of the rom requires a new MOD. So I renamed the original one to reference the 5.0.2 ROM and the new one to reference the 5.1 ROM.
Updated 8/16/2015: I am told that the 5.1 version works on the older 5.0.2 ROMs. I have not verified this myself, but others have.
Change Log:
V 1.2
CalculatorWidget
V 1.1
HtcDataStripWidget
HtcMusicWidget
V 1.0
HtcCalendarWidgets
HtcContactWidgets
HtcWeatherClockWidget

Hey that's great, but I think Venom Roms already have this in them. I used to run Venom on my M8 and I could use these widgets in Nova Launcher. That was actually my inspiration for figuring out how to do it.
Updated the OP to add a new MOD for the 5.1 ATT ROM. I am still not sure if these work on the equivalent international versions, so if anyone tries it please let me know.
Hi thanks for this. Is it possible to do the same for the htc music widget?
Many thanks.

Been wanting to do away with the dock on sense launcher since forever. Unfortunately cant find any mods to do this and to use all the homescreen on my m8
Using your mod I am now able to use another launcher.

So did the mod I made with the 5.1 files actually work on the 5.0.2 ROM? If so, that is great news. Because I couldn't get it to work the other way around.
