How to port htc apps and launcher to stock android ROM? - HTC Amaze 4G

so basically i'm running a complete senseless ROM which i love but i miss a few things from sense that i would like to add to my rom, the dock on sense launcher, the widgets and the camera app...all i need to know is there any guide on how port these apps or titanium would work on an app like camera (what i really want) sorry if it was pointless thread guys, i've done a few searches with no result!
Thxs in advance :good:

Just download a stock ROM and pull the files out. Install them like you would normally.

thxs H, i really appreciate your work and your help, so i just need to port the apk from system/app? is there any other file to be ported? i'll give it a try after this, thank you

As he said, just install what you want, no need to port anything, all working roms here are stock based.
Though the weather widget might be some work since it depends on the sense launcher.

In your /system/app folder for all stock roms there is the ROSIE.apk(that is the launcher), and a ton of APKS with the word widget in them.. they are for the stock launcher. Put them in the /system/app folder on your senseless rom and they are back. Mind you, the widgets only work with rosie. As for the camera, if they just replaced it with the one from the sensation or one-x camera.apk you can go into the themes and apps section and find one titled HQ camera, flash it and it will put the stock one back(and it will add HQ mod for much higher picture quality).
You need to reboot after adding files back to the /system/app folder by the way.

alirght i will give it a try now! thank you! what i did before is unzip the rom, transfer the apks and zip it back and flash...gave me operation aborted! it was only the phone apk and camera, thats basically what i want the most.

If you unzipped it then you'll need to sign the zip file or simply replace the files using winrar or some other client without unzipping the file.

Np buddy, I think I'll be making a post on how to make and sign zip files soon.

i'll buy you a beer when u do that so replacing the files without unzipping worked, but the com.phone.android.apk i think kept fc until the the launcher (rosie.apk) loaded..phone calling and everything worked afterwards..any ideas?

hey nightmare i found a tool for signing roms, i got it going on now thanks alot, i'll be buying you a beer anyways oh and this is the error i'm getting "unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped! any ideas?

I could be wrong, I'd you are using cm9 or 10 and ring to install an apk made for sense it won't work because of framework . That's how it was with other phones.
Things might have changed but I haven't heard about it.
If It's any other Rom besides those two and miui attempt It's a sense based Rom and something you are doing is a bit off

What this guy said, it's a framework issue, the framework files have been highly modified, most likely he resigned all the system apps after modifying them, you can decompile and recompile the phone apk, resigning it to see if that solves it. Most likely having to resign all system apps.

I'm a lil confused, I copied a few .apks and rosie over to my S3 and put them in the system/app folder with all the others, they will not install nor show up. What are yall meaning by signing and porting...is porting the same as copy and pasting? I would love to have a few of my HTC widgets on my s3. Any help would be apprecitated...Thanks

Sensation photo lockscreen

If I remember doesn't the sensation or maybe it's the doubleshot have a different photo lockscreen then the 3d. Does anyone have the apk on hand?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
did you ever find a way to install the sensation photo lockscreen?
Pics please.
some of the custom roms have it. youll have to look thru them in the dev section though
i would post a pic but im currently on a rom dat doesn't have it...i was using bamf 4.9 which had it but i wanted to try out synergy and i found out it doesn't have it...so im hoping i can find an install for it cuz i like the sensation photo as my lockscreen waaay betta than the others.
its in my rom if you want it just pull it from my rom
hey joel dis is probably a noob question lol but what do you mean by pull it from your roms is there a link i need to click on or go to

Copy the appropriate apk
How is it different from the photo lockscreen on the evo 3d?
where do i find the appropriate apk?

Not sure which apk, but most likely in system/app/
If you know the apk name, I can rip it for you.
hi. I was using a synergy rom, then moved to a evolved. I would love this sensation lock screen as well. I can't seem to get any of the .apk to install from the synergy rom.
I believe it would be either htcLockScreen.apk or idlescreen_photo_sens.apk
Could you zip these up so they can be updated on a rom?? Just pressing the apk won't install?
Any help would be appreciated!!
----------------------------
UPDATE::
So I was going through my titanium backup and i saw a "Photo album (sensation) 3.02115152613.59759" that I had backed up and removed (apparently from my Sense Rom)...so I restored it, and YEP it is the Sensation lock screen. So it came right on up and shows now in my lock screen options.
Not sure how that will help as when I unzipped the Synergy Rom to look through the files, I don't show a photo album apk in the app folder. I think its the "idlescreen_phot_sens.apk" but not 100% sure.
Hoping someone can help everyone else get this!!!

[Q] Can HDR and Panoramic Camera be used in Stock??

I have looked through many threads and posts, so forgive me if I can't seem to be able to use the search function very well (especially if found elsewhere). My apologies...
With that being said, can the HTCCamera.apk that incorporates the HDR and Panoramic modes be used with the purely STOCK 2.08...3 and Stock Freeza's 3e Kernel? I know my way around Android okay, not great....and know how to do it, permissions, etc. if it is possible. I just need someone to confirm this is possible on STOCK ODEX 2.08...3 ROM.......PLEASEEEE!!!! An advanced Thanks button push for anyone that can help!!
I think so steelh has a guide to enable those features then you can find out how to Odex the apk like users are doing with myn's Odexed ROM then adb push the apk

Could you link it for me please?
When I get back to my dorm I can make a flashable zip that will give you those options, plus a few more options. It's going to be the modified camera apk from my ROM.
私のエボ3Dから送信される。
Before you put too much time into it, Hdr doesn't actually do anything in the few modded cameras I've tried. It takes the pic, but it's just a normal pic. I asked about that a while back and the consensus seemed to be kernel related. Panorama on the other hand worked great. It's buggy in the ported htc amaze 4G camera but stock camera works right with it.

If you could, that'd be awesome. I only want the camera though, for Panorama, and I am on ODEX 2.08....3, with freeza's kernel. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Here you go
tommytomatoe said:
Hey gang. Just some general.info about odex. Especially with the concern about compatibility.
Open your update.zip. Open the apk in question. Using 7zip, delete the file "classes.dex" from apk. Put apk back into update.zip. Flash.
By leaving the file classes.dex you're wasting space and while chances are slim you might run into trouble later.
Also. I would venture to say 9/10 themes/mods are not smali related...so removal of classes.dex will pose no problem. If the dev in question did modify the dex code, then you would have to remove the odex file anyways...so either way you're not affecting the effect of the flash.
Anyways. Summary. remove classes.dex.

Change lock screen unlock icon

I'm trying to change the unlock icon to something a little more jellybean looking. It just seems funny having those nice icons next to a plain white symbol. I'm having trouble recompiling the framework-res.apk. I'll try again tomorrow after work to get a flashable zip posted
For anyone who wants to attempt this them self the icon PNG file is located at
System>framework>framework-res.apk>res>drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi>unlock_default.png
Here's the rough icon I made as well at 244x244 pixels, the same as the original. Not great but its a start

Looking nice...you really don't have to recompile the apk in this case...just 7zip the new icons in the proper folder and good to go...just saying...

Well that makes it easy, thanks. I'll still get it in zip format so everyone can just flash. I'll work on the icons a little more too.
A jelly bean android icon would be cool. Just a thought
I like it!

While you are waiting for the tutorial you will need to root your phone and install Root Explorer or another file manager so you can place the files and change permissions of files.
Sorry ive been busy the last few days and tonight I moved my work over to my Linux box and had to reinstall the SDK, adb and apktool all over again. I was getting boot loops when trying to do it without the proper tools plus I need em to make flash able zips. I might have something up tonight as I'm busy with work tomorrow and then borderlands 2 gets released at midnight so I won't be getting any sleep.

Use vrthemer to flash these mods. The scripts automatically update the apk with your images. Use one of the lockmods I made in the 4.2.2 lock mod thread to see how the folder structure is set. Its easy as pie

[Q] Sense 3.6 emoticons

Hi everyone! Anyone know where I can find the png files for the Sense 3.6 emoticons? I am on an AOKP Rom now but I prefer the emoticons from Sense and I would like to switch them out. I've tried looking around the different APKs on Sense but wasn't able to find them anywhere. Thanks!

Download any Sense 3.6 ROM, unzip it and search for all .png files inside of it. When you find one, go to file location in there, and you found them. I think that is the one way..
That won't if the PNG files are in an apk though. The AOKP files were in an apk so I'm guessing the sense 3.6 ones are going to be on an apk as well. Thanks though

Did you know that .apk files are also sort of ".zip" files, and you can "unzip" them with i.e. 7zip ?
Yeah I knew that but thought that would mean I would have to go through and unzip each apk file which may take a while. And I was thinking that I would be doing all this from my phone so that seemed even more daunting. I'll give it a shot on my desktop. thanks

You can download a ROM zip to do it at your computer. I think they are in the Messages app, but I'm not sure.

I'm really excited about this, but i'm not sure if it's going to work. After i moved it to the system/app folder and removed the .odex version, when i press the home button, only my launchers from the market are shown as options. the stock browser is completely gone. is that normal? does it need a reboot?

Thank you, but the problem was actually me being a moron and thinking using es file explorer with root access turned on would work the same as root explorer. It set up the new launcher with the wrong access permissions. i restored my backup of the original launcher with TiBU and tried it again with root explorer and now it works perfectly!
