Is there a way to get missing htc apps like htc notes+widget htc hub flash light app and fm radio as an installable APK without root
Good call, I didn't realize they weren't included..can anyone provide these apks? Or is it as simple as copying them from my Dinc to the SD card and installing on the phone?

TeslaLED in the market is a great replacement for flashlight. Can't get the htc hub.

Yeah, I was wondering where the flashlight widget was after I got to go through my phone yesterday. The greedy bastards at Verizon strike again.
TeslaLED works well enough, but I love the three levels of intensity offered by the HTC widget. I wonder if anyone has done an app that gives you a slider to vary the light intensity.
Haven't tried all the flashlight apps, the market has too many. Once we get root you can use the htc flashlight apk.

The one called LED Light is HTC themed.
I don't see why having root would make a difference for the HTC Flashlight app. Maybe there's a reason that I don't know. I have that apk and it will not install.

Might not be compatable with 3.5.

It's a system apk and will not install except with a root level adb push. It may also need libs that are not there.

I was able to get it to "work" on my phone after sending the apk to my phone and copying it to /system/app using root explorer, however it only works on one level instead of 3 like on the Dinc.
I was able to get the apps needed to install by hacking the manifest but I can't get the htc options to load.
Im still working on it. I got to at least show the get more options on each category

that's not on this phone. it's on every sense 1.0 phone, but not the higher sense ones. all it says is "show all HTC widgets" instead of "get more htc widgets" like it used to..and show all just litearlly shows all of the HTC ones on the phone in one list. annoying.

Yeah we need hub.
from what i can see there are about 5 apps needed for htc hub to operate. i was able to get them to install and myhtc to install by hacking the manifest. there is still something crucial missing. perhaps libs as nils said. hard to trouble shoot without root.
on sense 3.5 it is different. the get more options is on the top right instead of at the bottom like on sense 3.0. as i said i was able to get that to show up but connecting to htc hub caused fc
I did find a flashlight app somewhere but dont remember where and it does fully work. Also couldnt we port over those apps like notes hub and fm radio from a HTC Sensation XL system dump or rom?

Well, I just did that..thing is, while it was blank I changed it to a diff app thinking it would switch back when I changed the screen. After the last update, I still have the other app I selected. My phone is still gone!
For me, i can still select phone for my lockscreen shortcuts, but its not in my app drawer. Should it be this way?
Seems like a PICNIC error to me.
I have the same issue. I did ALL the updates and my phone app is still missing,and yes I have been reading all the forums/blogs.

So for clarity, you have the phone shortcut available for lockscreen, but not in app drawer?
Go in to the settings where you can change which apps show. Select a different one then chose the phone again and it will show.

Cool thanks for that. It doesn't matter since the main sense button is phone anyway. I downloaded adw ex to see if the phone icon would show up in that app drawer and it did, so i imagine its just not supposed to be in the sense app drawer to avoid redundancy.

I think it's this...
I haven't done a single update and the phone isn't in my app drawer. I removed it from my lockscreen in favor of the flashlight (which, among other important things..htc didn't include).
I am having a few issues and since it looks like root is out of the question unless HTC miraculously keeps their promise .. I may just do all the OTAs.

You might as well, when root is found, or when HTC unlocks it, there will have been several more OTA's to worry about. Just enjoy the fixes for now. Just my input.

Yea you're right. If we ever do get root, it isn't gonna be anytime soon. I may as well get this thing as functional as possible.
I fixed the app missing by doing a reset. I was all up to date but the update didn't go into effext until I did a reset.
Sent from my 3vo
So I have done all the updates and today I did a hard reset on my phone. The phone icon was on my lockscreen until I changed some of the other icons. It is no longer there and I cannot select it either.
I am wondering if the small updates stick after a hard reset? I went to check for any updates and it says none available. Is there anyway to install the small updates manually from somewhere?
Edit....Just an FYI after I kept checking for updates, eventually the small app updates was available and now I got my phone icon back. So anyone who hard resets their device after the updates, make sure you keep checking for the small app update because it does not stick after a hard reset and it did not auto prompt me to do so either.
Hey guys, I was wondering if it was possible to add more categories to the sense 3.0 app drawer.
I'm not sure if categories is the right word, but basically, when you open up the app drawer, at the really bottom there's a slider and icons for switching from all apps to frequent and to download.
Thanks!
I have to say I'm curious too, I'm sure there is a way to, since you can rearrange the "categories" when you longpress on them, and there's more space too (it looks like to add more) so Im almost certain there's a way...just haven't found it yet

Yea its a simple mod
But is there a way, to create any additional categories there? Like games, utilities and so on? having all the apps together without even being to organize them the way I want is very messy for me.

You would think someone coming here from the 3d would have it handy somewhere. To prevent someone from having to DL an entire ROM just to get it. I came from Evo 4g to here, so I'm not familiar with newts, and dont have any files from 3d forum.
Actually, I'll bet any Gapps package would have it, I would think. I just was surprised it didn't come stock. I use the widget on my main homescreen.

Genie widget = news and weather app.
This one can be installed like a normal data app. I renamed it so I would remember what it was since genie widget hardly gives any clue. Just download it to your sd card and click it and it will install like any other app. The menu key shows up on it as well which didn't work for me on my transformer Prime if I used the system/app version. Kind of hard to customize without a menu key. Not sure if that would be an issue on the EVO LTE but I didn't care to find out.
Although I am unsure if the HTC version had better customization or widgets than the stock google version which is what this is I believe. I only use it for the app. I would give credit to whoever posted it but I can't even remember where I got it. I used google search awhile ago to find it.
I actually have a couple that will install like a regular app as well. I'll post them tonight
I have one with no background and one with a smoke/transparent background.
I sent a PM to Newt and asked if he could help me get the one from his port to work on our phones..hoping he hooks us up.
Works, but when tapping on the weather screen for a hourly view, it has an error reading "Unfortunately, News & Weather has stopped". That feature was a big plus with this app, hope someone can figure out how to get that to work again.

You have force gpu rendering enabled on your phone. Settings>Developer options>Force GPU rendering.
Uncheck that and it will work.
Also, I'm not sure you know this but tapping the weather icon on HTC's weather clock widget that most people seem to keep on their homescreen brings up a screen with weather details and at the bottom there are tabs where you can look at the hourly conditions as well in a little more detail.

I just check my data usage in the phone settings and apparently my flashlight app is using a TON of data. How is this possible? Has anyone else had this happen?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Not sure which flashlight app you're using, but that certainly doesn't seem right. I like Tiny Flashlight, primarily because you can turn it on from the lockscreen just by shaking the phone. It reports zero data usage, for what it's worth.
Malware is how that's possible. Could also be a terribly inefficient ad engine, but that seems unlikely given how much data it's using. Report that app to Google and uninstall it.
Tiny flashlight is good. I use TeslaLED because I like Teslacoil software.

I'm using the HTC Flashlight and it doesn't even show up on my usage list. Probably because it isn't using any data. I'd suspect something is wrong on your phone.
Is it possible to have another app that spoofs as the flashlight when it shows up in usage? I ask because the flashlight shouldn't be using any data at all, and I don't know if its just the image quality, but the flashlight image in your screenshot doesn't look like the htc one to me. It's very close, but it's just a bit off.
I got the stock HTC flashlight, and it uses 0 data.

This is a good thought. OP, can you uninstall or disable the HTC app? If so, and the data usage continues with that same icon, it's probably safe to assume something else is spoofing it.
I had some trouble uninstalling. HTC hub didn't recognize that it was installed. Once I finally uninstalled the app with root explorer, I had trouble getting HTC hub to properly REinstall that app. I had to find an old apk from xda, install that, then HTC hub allowed me to update that app.
I'll keep a close eye on the data usage to see if it continues to change.
Thanks guys

It was included in the rom I downloaded. I never installed the flashlight app myself. I control the led flash from my homescreen with the SwitchPro widget. The only reason I noticed it was even installed was when I checked my data usage.

Well, if you look at HTC Hub the icon in his screenshot marches the icon they use in the hub BUT the screenshot doesn't match the icon in the app drawer. The icon in Hub definitely has less of a tint to it than the icon used in drawer.

Hmmm. Here's what I would try next, just for the hell of it: remove all of your icons from your dock and from your main home screen. Change your wallpaper to something else stock. Reboot. Put one normal, everyday (like the phone dialer or people, etc) icon/shortcut - not a widget - in your dock. Reboot. Check lockscreen. See your shortcut?
HTH!

What did you install before this happened? You said you are stock, but are you rooted? Delete anything? This wouldn't just disappear without either clicking that setting off, or deleting something you shouldn't have.
I know you said stock... but did you install a different launch.. ie Nova, Apex... etc. and stop/freeze sense. When i did that i lost the lockscreen apps. Kinda sucks but sense needs to be running to have those, regardless of using it or not.... Good luck

Don't disable Sense. As far as enabling it to change the dock, just go into Nova settings and use the "Default launcher" button towards the bottom. Go to Sense, "Just Once" and set your dock. Hit the Home button and click Nova, "Always". Done.
