Hello guys and gals.
With all the fun/madness of the last 24hrs or so on here I think I've tried all the new 2.1 roms BUT I cant get the HtcDialer.apk from the old Espresso rom working with any. Its a much better dialer imo.
I think it has something to do with the Eris leak roms having .odex files and the Espresso not but cant be sure. Is anyone more clued up on this able to shed any light if a port is possible?
I'm pretty sure adwinp used it in his [email protected] 2.1 rom once and it worked fine...

definitely, I'm also waiting for something like this to come!, I was hoping to get the espresso look on the phone
I presume you've asked adwinp if he can assist? If not, might be worth a check. IIRC, apk files can be converted to odex files, but I'm not sure. More likely to be a compatibility problem that can be fixed in code IMHO.

I know there is a 2.1 Sense. That's what I'm running. But is there a way to have 2.2 with Sense?
not yet obviously.
you could try installing the android system monitor app ( cant rightly remember the exact name of the app, but thats close, just search the market- if u cant find it, lemme know, i'll post the .apk) and use it to backup all the sense related .apk's to your sd card, then install the 2.2 blazin or reference build and drop the apk's in your Android Apps folder of the "." build, then run the mjg droid utility n make sure theyre allchecked in menu/apps. Im not sayin it'll work, but its worth a shot. Lemme know if it works if u try it
Does anyone have a list of the Sense .apk's I will do a little searching. If I find anything I will post back.
Not 100% sure on this but why not get the sense apk's from the earlier builds? They are already rooted if I'm not mistaken so the only question remains is what folder will all the apk's be located (I can't remember). The next question remains is if it would work with the latest builds or not.

I have tried this already. As soon as the phone boots, Launcher2 quits. HTC Sense Launcher was not built for 2.2.
We will most likely have to wait till HTC releases a froyo phone with the Sense UI, for us to properly port it to our froyo builds.

Hasn't that already been done?

as far as i know you can not install any sense .apk's ona not sense build because they use a differnet framework.
so you would need a complete sense build in order to install any htc sense .apk's

there is a link for a desire sense apk.. which links to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5686103
There are a couple of releases for the HD2 that have the Desires system put into a system.ext2 file. Unfortunately this needs a newer kernel than we have available for our machines.
yall should reach out to Klinux. We originally released the 2.1 sense but ive been pre-occupied with kernel crap.
If anyone has the de-deoxed version of the 2.2 from the Evo, im sure klinux can figure out a way to get it to run.

i'm on it. Thanks ACL!!
EDIT:
I sent KLINUX a PM letting him know what we are up to. I will let you all know if I hear from him. In the meantime, I am looking into what it would take to get the sense apk's de-deoxed myself if possible.
Excellent. Keep us posted.
I have been around for a while but I guess not longf enough because I have no exact idea what this is and if I need it. I am going to go to a newer Froyo but I would like to know which flavor. Grazi ;-)

Deodexed roms will allow you to apply a completely different theme on your phone. You cannot do that with a odexed roms.
Got it, mucho grazi
I get it now as every explaination had to do with themeing and I see why. It really has to do with eliminating some interdependencies as well as I see in the first link. I think I will go with the deodexed version as it will have the best chance of hulu running properly, as I have been unable to get it with any of the odexed, now I see a maybe ;-)
First off if this is the wrong place for this thread im sorry.
But moving on! Im wondering if it's possible to port over the sense 2.0 from the thunderbolt to run on the evo 4G running the new 2.3.3 stock aos? I have the same SD card I had in my thunderbolt and I have all the backup files from titanium so I should have everything as far as software goes for 2.0 if im wrong someone please let me know what all I need...but all that being said if there is anyway possible that this can be done I'd love to do it make it my project or atleast give it a shot .... Idk maybe im just making myself look like a retard... But any help/advice/tips would be great thanks!
You could just flash one of the Sense 2.1/3.0 Gingerbread roms. Would probably be a lot easier.
Restoring system apps/data from one device on another entirely different device doesn't sound like the best idea.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
I would love to be able to flash a rom but therein lies the problem im on 2.3.3 which doesn't have root or s- off "yet" i was gonna truly and run sense 2.0 or 3.0 as a shell or theme kind of like spb shell for nonrooted users so no adding, changing, or replacing system .apk files or changing the build at all.

I'm pretty sure that wont work, but the idea behind it is good. To get a new version of Sense working you will need root access.
Yeah that's what i figured... this is so irritating is the first time I haven't had root access in forever! Can't get any work done!
Im kinda considering getting together with some devs and tryin to build a whole new sense based rom
Close this thread please moderators!!

Hey Sharkie.
My understanding is that it's a LOT harder to try and port a different version of Sense to an EVO ROM than it is to just port another device's ROM with a newer version of Sense.
I could be wrong, though. There was a recent post on the Portal about this very topic, in fact. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222746

question
1. what is in the 4.24 ota that isnt in the other 8-9 2.1 roms in this thread
2. why would you want to find a way to port something we already have (sense 2.1/GB2.3.3)
3. Nice rom wheres the DL link? lmao
_______________
It isn't as simple as swapping out .apks or using a different kernel to get Sense 2.1 on the latest Evo OTA. It is deep in the framework. You would be way better off using a port.
I would suggest basing it on a stock HTC Speedy/Shift 4G port for Sense 2.1.
I know that leoisright had a stock stock Shift port with working 4G.
Evo 3D if you wanted Sense 3.0. Not sure who did it first and kept it stock.
very interested to know this as well, im much more newb than either of the prior posters, but it looks like your saying it will work, but you have to do a whole new rom/flashing right? not an apk or simple installation?
There has to be a way to upgrade sense using the stock EVO OTA. I'm curious as to why no one has tried it, even if it is labor intensive. Good luck trying, however, as I am also learning how to build my own Roms. I'm interested to see if you succeed.

Peace all,
Currently I am using Virus' 08.25.11 Kingdom ROM and wanted to know if it was possible to use the extracted HTC Runnymeade DIALER APK.
To be clear, I am well familiar with using ADB to push system files---however I'm just curious if this will work since its SENSE 3.5 as opposed SENSE 3.0. I'm wondering if the Dialer is dependent upon anything else in system files? At this time I am not ready to make the leap of flashing a Runnymeade ROM---but I do like the functionality of the Dialer as opsed to 3.0's version.
any help and/or confirmation of whether this will work (hypothetically) would be greatly appreciated

Try it. Make a backup and let us know.
