Hi!
I'm looking for big help!
Since couple of years i used an HTC Desire Z (with android 2.3) and the built-in Sense Calendar! I very liked it. This is a simple calendar and much more usable then the new Sense's calendar!
Is there any possibilty to use this old calander app under the original 4.1 rom with HTC Desire X?
This is very important for me and i'm not a developer
I checked every calendar apps in google play, but the most is too complicated!
I hope somebody can help me!
Thanks!
Regards

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but because of missing framework for gb Sense on DX we won't be able to get this working (unless it works right out of the box by just installing the respective apk). I for myself use acalendar, in my eyes better than the Sense calendar. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply! I tried the acalendar too, and the same! And there is no way to decompile the jar and make it to universal? Sorry if i write a stupid thing!
Before one guy said me, that maybe if modify the framework will work! But after he dont have time to help me with this
I simple replaced the calendar apk but its crashed of course
Thanks!

Hi,
In anticipation of the great work our devs are doing, like porting vanilla 1.6 to Hero, I wanted to put some stock Android apps on my Hero.
The reason for this is; I like the original Android UI better.
I made a list of which Android apps I would like to have on my Hero, I will update the startpost with added howto's, for the people interested.
Ofcourse, I am not capable of doing 'real dev' work, if that was the case, I would try to help port 1.6 to the Hero. But this is all I can do at the moment and I hope I can contribute this way to the community.
[done]
-Home app: download "home switcher" from the Market
[to do]
-sms application
-music player
-calendar
-browser
-cellphone /dialer application
-contact list
-camera application
-albums application
I think if we work together to make the original apps work, we have a viable alternative to a 'real vanilla' android Hero rom. Also I could be more easy to just modify the original Hero roms; when the HTC branded 1.6 and 2.0 will come out, we will know how to switch the apps, which I anticipate to be more easy than porting the kernel, and rebuilding everything, etc
The following stage would be to delete the old apps, and to make Android as clean as possible.
Ofcourse, only for those who want it. A lot of people love the Sense UI and the HTC apps, and that is good. Android is about choice
Also, I will look on how to change the apps, just comment if you know if a certain app can be restored, and even better, if you know how to.
Thanks in advance, everybody!

yeah, it is way easier to set this through application preferences in the phones settings, nothing so special about that.

did you check which of these are modified by htc anyway?
tbh i don't really care for a vanilla android, but afaik at least the camera application is the stock android one even in htc roms...
Yes, I checked all those applications:
In the Application properties you can see that it says "hTC Application" after you press the info key.
And in the application list (from the settings menu) it says "HTC corporation" under all the HTC rebranded apps.
edit: the HTC camera application has a different interface
so does anyone know how to get certain original apps back?
How can i remove the sense interface? I'm on modaco 2.8 but don't know for sure what i can delete
Just try that : http://android.modaco.com/content/h...7/13-08-1-0-modaco-hero-rosie-remover/#entry0
(you can download the zip and see in the rep MANIFEST what the update do and do it in adb shell)

this is what happens for the update.zip, just do a nandroid backup and try it?
i read in some forum that the camera app was identical, sry for that. did you find actual differences in the application, besides from the htc strings?

Thanks for what what the update.zip changes.
As you can see, it had widget next to everything, which means it only deletes the widget 'front ends' of these applications. It will not restore the stock android apps, like the browser or the music player.
I am trying to contact some Dream-developers/modders as they appear very capable and knowledgeable. They should be able to help us out.
Again, when we learn how to replace the HTC apps, we can have a 'clean' rom in notime, regardless of the android version. For example, if HTC released 2.0, but with sense and all that, we could just delete that, and change out the applications so we end up with a very fast, and clean rom.
I don't have a lot of faith in people porting over/ compiling a fresh, complete and fully working version for the Hero ..
any suggestions
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the htc apps with the stock google android apps on Hero?
The list in the initial post contains all the apps I need.
I find it strange that this is not possible after such a long time. I would really have my Hero all stock Android. I dont like the HTC approach to things. Why is it so hard to replace the HTC apps with stock Android apps?

Partly because not all the stock apps are that easy to get, partly because HTC has stuck their brand on practically everything, and partly because if you replace one you have to replace others, else the apk signatures (especially with shared users and other dependencies) don't match. And if we're talking about the Sprint Hero, it gets even worse, because HTC had to modify the core framework beyond recognition, so that it would work with CDMA (so it's possible that just grabbing a vanilla apk, resigning it, and throwing it on there wouldn't work anyway).
All that is just conjecture though, as I haven't tried any of it aside from the Calendar app (gave up cause it didn't work immediately and I didn't have the time). Maybe I'll have time to try it this weekend and see how much can be replaced.
Great explanation, thanks. I miss Windows Mobile (Phone, whatever) where things like these were much easier to adjust without all this hassle.
If you manage to pull it of you will be my ...erm... Hero.
Yeah, the best of luck!

Hi,
Is it possible to make Genie Widget compatible with Cupcake?
I used that app with my G1 with 1.6 and now with my Hero (1.5) doesn't work.
For me it's very useful
Ok, seems that nobody is able to port this app to android 1.5.
Now, can someone point me to an app similar to Genie Widget (i need only news, no weather) but, important, that shows news related to location (i'm in Italy and i don't need to know US news )
Thanks
HOW??
How do you port apps to 1.5???

First learn to program in the android SDK.
Second, study the differences between the 1.5 and 1.6 API.
Third, sift through the source code of your 1.6 app and find all the code that doesn't adhere to the 1.5 API, and change the code so it all DOES comply with 1.5 API.
Have fun.
Solved
Simply recompiled build.prop in /system and Genie Widget works.

It works after restart, I installed the Genie widget, It works fine, but when I restart my phone, it goes back to 1.5 genie widget stops working, is their anything else i need to replace?
Someone has ported this app!!!!!!!
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/302211/genie-widget-for-1-5/
Did you guys get this working? It installed fine for me but doesn't seem to refresh after the phone is rebooted.
Hi Guys,
as I have an Exchange 2010 Server here, that supports SMS Sync and I want to use it ;-)
Unfortunately this doesn't work with HTC Messaging, included in most of the ROMs.
Workaround is to use zeneyes disabling tool, but I experienced problems with that, as after a while SMS do not arrive anymore (not even on the phone!).
Then I need to disable Syncing, send an SMS, restart the device and enable Syncing again to get it working for 2 or 3 days again. (I testes with several ROMs, also Stock ones)
So my Question: Are there any ACTUAL Roms, provided without HTC Messaging Natively?
Former Elegancia was provided without, but the actual version is not available without HTC Messaging anymore :-(
If you have other solutions for the Problem, feedback is welcome too ;-)
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
All my ROMs have HTC's messaging removed...

More than that! NRGZs Roms are bloody perfect! Sexy! Ice Catching & I use both on my HD and HD2. ..... I hope to see add on cab to completely disable HTC people and contact!
I Love NRGZ ROM.... i'm using Reference ROM 1st Dec 2010 and it is perfect for my need... easily loading android.... thanks NRGZ for your ROM...
HI and thanks for your Tip
I will try it
Is there any ROM with a more HTC default theme or even WinMo Default Theme? I like Energy but the theme is too much for me. Never been a fan of the theming stuff.
You can try the Reference ROMs I make... pretty close to stock theme.
Other than that.. I dont know. Maybe the Artemis ROMs ?
and the answer is...
NRGZ is the way to go bro.. Period! You won't be dissapointed..
Thanks for this great tip!
Never tested these ROMs before and never seen SMS Sync that stable
Great Work!
Thanks a lot!

Hi all. I just went from the HTC MT4G to an S3 on Tmo. While I love the S3 so far, there are a few things I miss from my HTC. The main thing is the HTC Calendar and it's widget. I figured out (by searching) how to bring over my ringtones and notifications, but when I tried copying and installing the Calendar.apk on my S3, but it says it can't.
How am I able to do this? Surely there has to be a way. I've tried searching, but can't seem to find what I need...

Most of HTCs applications have stuff and resources in the framework-res and htc.framework-res (or h/e it's named).
you COULD port it by porting the resources and then install the application.
But this is actually not easy.
The easiest thing you could do is search an alternative in the Play Store.
If I'm wrong, pelase correct me.
I hope I answered your question suitable.

You would have to port all of Rosie to get it working. All of HTC widgets will not work without the framework they created.
I believe there is a port for older Samsung devices but not the S3 as far as I know.
I guess I was hoping someone can steer me to a post on how to do this, or even provide some instructions...

I read somewhere you only need Rosie to get it to work.
Well, that should not be too hard...
Take a look at THIS THREAD
Read ALL POSTS CAREFULLY.
If you follow that steps and have the right tool for signing, you could get there.
Buy NigthMare a beer too when it works (NightMare is the who came up with the ideas on porting it in the above thread).
Good luck

Look in that thread yourself and try it out
I resized Rosie.apk once for a dev trying to do the same...
Try this one. Make sure to backup everything first. Note you don't install this as APK from within the running ROM.

If you don't care about using Google Play Music 5.0:
Find old apk (4.5.9 I think)
Uninstall 5.0
Turn off automatic updating in market
Install old apk
???
Profit
This is the only thing I did, wasn't too wowed with the new features of 5.0.
I also don't know what it would take to add the functionality to 5.0 :/
Hope this helps.

Ok well the no updating might not be possible from editing the 4.5.9 app.
I looked around the 5.0 app and it definitely doesn't have the Tungsten support files so it isn't just missing visually
I'm wonder what is involved with porting the Tungsten code to the 5.0 app...
