extract /system/app/HtcTwitter.* from ROM zip ... then push it via adb ...
Code:
adb push HtcTwitter.* /system/app/

I don't think that's going to be enough depending on which ROM you're going to install this to because HTC uses their own framework for their apps which isn't available on AOSP / non-Sense ROMs.
Also, even for Sense 1.5 ROMs the framework is incompatible between releases. From what I understand, there's no guarantee HTC App X from ROM 1.73.y is compatible with ROM version 1.73.y+1. Let alone between major android releases (1.5 versus 2.1).

I'd also like to see 2.1 Peep on 1.5 and same goes for the HTC Clock Widget, Calendar Widget (with Agenda plx?) and the Sync Now Widget.
Can anyone port them so they will work under 1.5?

I don't think this is going to happen, mainly because of very stable 2.1. ROMs available ... the solution is clear - upgrade

Sorry to say this but all available 2.1 ROMS suck.
I tried BeHero and Villain both for about 2 days each and there are so many little things which are annoying as hell. Do I really need to list them? I did this in the relevant threads but nothing happened - tbh I don't really blame anyone.
And even though both feel faster then MoDaCo 3.1 (based on 1.5) at first, they are laggy in many cases - mostly after a few hours of use.
I'm nearly 100% happy with 1.5 except those 2 really nice widgets and the bluetooth file transfer but those things are not a reason to upgrade to an unstable/battery draining/laggy ROM which - in my case - isn't fully translated into my native language.
So I really just want those 2 widgets. Nothing more.

thanks guys, so i guess it's not possible. Just like the rest, i went back to 1.5 but really want the new HTC Peep.
Will just wait for the official or a better ROM.

Is it possible to install the new android market on android 1.5?

Hi guys,
I'm monitoring a lot of 2.1 roms here but they are still with a lot of bugs that don't convince me to change my 1.5 rom in this moment. So, one of my needs is to have the new fashion android market...that on android 1.5 is really ugly without pics of the apps and other features that, instead, are already in the new android market app.
There's a way to install the apk of the new market on the cupcake version of android?
Thanks for your attention.
I believe it's not possible. Can someone explain why though? I just know the new market won't work with 1.5 ROMs, only 1.6+.

Yes, but I think that a porting could be done...or am I saying something wrong?
it probably could be ported but I cant see anyone bothering with that, the apk file vending.apk wont install on cupcake or let you upgrade to it using astro!

The new market app you can see some screenshots of the application.. Sometimes it's very handfull... otherwise.. you must download. check.. and uninstall if it is not what you want
sorry I don't follow what you are saying? I know how the new market looks as im on 2.1
when u press an app,below commentarys developers often add some screenshots of the software.
No developers seem to be interested to make a porting of new android market on cupcake and I think that this is normal as they are working on improve their 2.1 rom.

Hero WithOut Sense... is it possible?

hi , i love my hero , but i Hate Sense UI...
is there any way to get rid of this damn Sense UI ?
1= i dont like Custom ROMs , Because they're not as stable as i like to be , and have millions of Bugs actually !
Now i am using CKDroid 1.6, but my phone works as a heater too...!
Thanx for helping... (plz!)
You can just stop sense working without changing the sense rom.
On a sense rom go to applications list,
Find "touch flow" then clear its defaults then press home and it will give you an option. On that list click "home" and sense is gone.
You will however lose everything HTC (its still on your phone but you won't be able to use it)

Thank u very very Much...
Or you can install Home Switcher from the market, so that you can switch quickly anytime between default Home and Sense.

Hey guys,
I have cooked up a nice senseless rom you may wanna take a look at, it very much retains its htc hero goodness just without all that bloat and a number of nice ui elements modified.
Anyways link is below if you are interested:
Andro-Plus 1.1
It is a senseless 1.5 build so expect stability and performance to be pleasing.
Enjoy

You can also remove it with this updatefile from MoDaCo. Read this thread over at his forum. Works perfect
so , what will i lose?
HTC Widgets , HTC Sense (!) , ... and what ?

This is what the Modaco file deletes:
Code:

some people just don't like it I guess.
But I would rather keep it there and just not use it.. just in case... than get rid of it altogether.
Unless of course your really happy flashing all sorts of roms then you can just trial one without sense then go back and use a sense rom later if you wish.
so , i dont like Sense...!
Thanx , i did and Sense UI Went to hell :d
so now , i have a question:
is there anyway to change the Lock page? that first page that we should Slide to get into main home , can we change it to Nexus Lock page?! Slide from Left to Right to Unlock?!
Get LockBot from Matket. The app has many lockscreens.

Im not sure where abouts this is embedded in the code, it may be that you actually need to have a 2.1 rom in order for this to work.
Or it may be that you just need to push a new file to your phone.
A dev will have to answer this.

Excellent rom. Very very fast and stable.
ppl should really stop creating useless threads just because they can...
in this sub-forum you have 3 or 4 threads with ROM´s without sense,why dont you look at the forum before you create a new thread?
As i tested MoDaco 3.1, Kimera 1.1 & MrBangCR 1.0 i can say all is stable & i did not counter any FC at all from this 3 roms yet.

[Q] help! can't install htc mail.apk

i am trying to install the htc mail.apk. i am currently running shadowrom. i tried doing an adb push. it said it copied to \system\app but when i go in there with astro the .apk is nowhere to be found. Is it possible to run this with shadowrom? the reason i am trying to use this one instead of the email.apk one that came with the rom is because my cheap ass companies server is not compatible with the email.apk. with the htc mail.apk i was able to enter all the stuff and when it failed to check the settings i was able to just save them and it would work. with the email.apk i am unable to save them it just keeps telling me to edit the details. any help with this would greatly be appreciated. adb seems to be functioning properly to me. i just learned how to use it about two hours ago. but i tell it adb push mail.apk \system\app. it says it copied it but it doesn't show up. Thanks in advance
Are pushing the .apks when you are in recovery?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
It was in recovery. I tried with system mounted and without.
try it using root explorer..just drop the file in..restart
or try k9 Mail. I love that program. It seemed very similar to HTC's

Try ROM Manager
In ROM Manager, go to Download ROM>Ihtfp69>Goodies fro 2.2+>HTC Mail.
Let it install, see if that works.

ShadowROM is an AOSP ROM. I do not believe the HTC mail program will work as there is no Sense in ShadowROM.
There are several kinds of ROMs for the Incredible. HTC Sense based ones. HTC Vanilla ROMs which are ROMs that have most of the extra bloat removed but still have the underslying Sense dependencies (SkyRaider Vanilla is an example). Finally, AOSP ROMs which are Android Open Source Platform ROMs. These are what the phone manufacturers get from Google and embed their interfaces/applications/tweak in to. HTC has Sense. Motorola has Blur. These are all based on AOSP. It is one of the reasons internal storage was broken for a while on ShadowROM and Cyanogen. Why? Because Google doesn't program for every phone and every phone doesn't have it so the AOSP didn't support it. It's a vendor added feature. Likewise a Sense kernel typically does not work with an AOSP ROM as well.

[ROM][Sense 2.1 Eclair]Kimera 3.0 "Sensation!!" [27-09-11]

One day I was walking trough the forums off XDA.. **and a lot of text**
Here is a new "old" ROM. Kimera 3.0. Based of Kimera 2.1 but then better
Thanks to Exit93 for the origional ROM and all the work on that one
Changes comparing to 2.1
-EGL update
-Market update
-Build.prop changes to speed up the ROM (idea's from VE6 and Ele 2.1 Reloaded)
-Some outdated apps removed. (download the current ones from the market)
-Removed updater
-Changed the notifiaction pull down a little bit. To make it more awesome (Thanks rdejager and Elelinux for those files )
Since this is sense (And closed...) there isnt much else that could have been done.
Well I tried my best but I am just starting to get into android stuffz, I tried to intergrate FlyKernel 13 made by Erasmux. But yep. I failed. Sooo you all need to do more stuffz before you can run this thing at the best speed around. (For sense)
Stuffz that needs to be said. I am not responsable from broken phones. Broken computers and all that stuff. just follow the install instructions and youll be fine.
Install instructions
1a. Download the ROM (duh)
1b. Download FlyKernel 13 (Again Erasmux awesome work!!)
1c. Download the Lightscript if you like a clean lite ROM. Description and download a little more down.
2. Place the ROM zip file and the Kernel zip file on you SD-Card.
2a. You can rename the Flykernel zip file to include clockspeeds. Do that if you do not want to use SetCPU or something like that (My fav speeds min:176, max:652.)
3. Install the ROM zip file (And get a drink)
4. DO NOT REBOOT, install Flykernel 13 for optimal performance
4a. Install the lightscript if you want to.
5. Reboot and take another drink.
6. Get trough the setup wizard and reboot the phone when you are done with the wizard.
7. Enjoy the ROM.
Keep in mind this is Sense. Sense is more heavy then AOSP. So expect a little slower ROM then AOSP (VE6)
This ROM is Odexed. (still don't know what it is exactly..) But what I do know. Cuss of this the ROM is faster. But 1 downside. I was planning to include a reboot menu. Well to bad that is not possible (yet). Same as the power-controll widget in the notification (NOT POSSIBLE EITHER!!) So please do not ask for those features.
Bugs
-First bootup will have a full green bootscreen. This is normal and it will not happen after that boot.
-If lightscript is used you may get a GAPPS FC. Everything still works fine and this is only once.
-About Friendstream
Lirasina said:
Ok well I am gonna post this once. This rom does not have friendstream. I tried adding it. but you can forget it. It does not work. maybe because it is Odexed. but I think it is mostly cuss off the fact Friendstream is something like Windows media player, you can install a windows without it. but when you want to isntall it you neeed a lot of extra apps then.. to actually run it.

This rom is Odexed. Mostly what that brings for the end user is a faster ROM. In feeling. For me that is 100% true. And I had Jager on the phone a few min ago and he was like.
Jheez deze rom is echt verrotte snel... (easy translation) Jheez this rom is really broken fast. (Dutch, weird language)
So yea the feel of the rom more really. It is the ROM that HTC made without extra's but all the goodies like the tweaks and the new apps.
E: Really I release a ROM and then SuperUser has the idea to update... so yea I will upload it to multi as well again cuss I made a small change in superuser.

Hey, congrats on your first ROM. If you want help adding a kernel to it then don't hesitate to ask. I've wrote a pretty good guide (if I do say so myself), that covers ROM porting and so on but includes that info.

Where you want me to upload it to so you can download it? Cuss then i will do that.
ROM update from me. Well I have been running this just fine. Tomorow I am gonna be with Jager all day. And his house is like techno heaven, and his car :O A Citroen Saxo with the most advanced radio system I know XD so then I can test GPS, BT, and all the other fancy stuffs..
Gonna trow in my review of this rom. its good. i am not the biggest sense fan but that was mostly cuss of the speed sense has comparing to AOSP. but this...
Well it is still smooth and works fine so I am more then happy with it. and i am gonna stick with it for now. I need a rom that does not reboot on GPS usage and this one does not do that for me so, yea i am gonna go with this one for some time from now on.
ehm well i got nothing else really. and no my house is not that advance, i just use remotes to turn the light on and off, and same for the sound systems and some other stuff. and car XD got a sony car thingy and 4 new speakers.
and i uploaded the 3.0.1 one to MU cuss my upload is better then hers.. soo http://www.multiupload.com/9NFLKTDAGO
Sweet. Thanks Lirasina and dkelley for reviving kimera. It really is still my favorite rom on the hero (yes i cant live without fully functioning sense). It was always super fast and responsive. Wakes up instantly when a button is pressed (some other roms do that too, but few). I feel that kimera2.1 is still faster/responsiver? than ele 2.1 reloaded, which i am using now but the keyboard lag is really starting to bother me. Will wait a little longer for bug fixes then will flash this sexy rom

(Q) 2.3.7 Roms

Hello Everybody,
Am kinda new to the development stuff on Android, so excuse me if am asking a silly questions
i wanted to ask about the 2.3.7 Roms for Desire HD, i have noticed some issues about these roms and i want some clarifications about how to fix about it
1- I can not link the contacts with facebook or twitter or any other social app.
2- When i connect the phone to the pc i got only one feature that to mount the sd card storage instead of having the normal options from 2.3.5 roms (charge only, htc sync...etc)
3-The market can not recognize my device.
4- I can not automatically restore the apps from the market after setting the rom up
5- The maps, Latitude and all location apps could not get automatic permission to access my Gmail account
That's mainly the points i had noticed so far
so if somebody can advice about how to fix about this issues i will be very thankful
Thanks everybody in advance
Hi there @Mohamedloza.
May I ask what ROM are you using right now? Judging by your words, I bet you are using AOSP rom, yes?

Yeah I bet your right. It is either an AOSP rom or MIUI rom. Both will do this.
As for Google and Facebook, Google no longer supports syncing to Facebook (thank god) on its own. Install the Facebook app if you want it to sync to FB.
what is the difference among 2.3.x?
Thanks everybody for your quick answers
i do not know what do you mean with MIUI roms or AOSP rom
right now am using this rom

this happens for every rom i use with 2.3.7 version (it's volume is always around 100 MB)
but for the roms with 2.3.5 version and it's weight is above 300 MB everything goes fine
Does this make any sense for you?

OK your using an AOSP rom which means it is Android Open source Project. These roms use nothing made by the manufacturer. Including the drivers for the phone. There are some draw backs to it though as the open source drivers used doesn't make full use of the hardware. Think of it like a PC. Yes you can find open source drivers for your hardware but the drivers from the OEM will always be better as it is built for the device.

1. Not sure (Possibly related to a similar issue as question 4, Settings>Accounts&Sync>Add Account>Add Facebook Account
2. I believe that is a Sense only feature
3. Give it about 2-3 hours and the market will recognise you device again (Be sure to access the market from your mobile at lease once and except the T&C's).
4. Make sure the ROM you flashed has GApps installed with it and that you have linked the accounts (I.E had the prompt to sign in to google, if not the you will find the option in Settings>Accounts&Sync>Add Account>Google Account, if not then be sure to flash it after first boot of ROM (A quick search of the form will find you a copy of GApps).
5. Don't know the answer to this one either.
Okay, you are now using Absolution ROM, based from CyanogenMod 7.2RC, which is indeed an AOSP rom. As clarified by posts above, Facebook and other social app linking are Sense optimized. BUT, the syncing feature is still available in the ROM, but without automatic syncing. Either you have to manually set and link every contact in your phone, or simply merge them in the People app setting.
The HTC Sync and all the other stuffs you've mentioned before is HTC Sense exclusive.
About the market unable to recognise your phone, try to clean up the market cache/data in application setting.
Due to different framework of AOSP, the automatic app restore is disabled.
You can either clear the Google Map cache/data or uninstall and update the app to the latest version available, 6.0.2.

Yes sense based roms are on 2.3.5. Not alot of diff to be honest. As MIUI, a search will tell you that. Nothing personal I just don't like it.
I think this is ROM's problems, you can view this ROM's developer's post, maybe it can help you .
MIUI Is AOSP also
i think u want the facebook for htc sense to do so. if ir using aosp roms u can download an app that is called contaapp or something like that. the link that u know is just for sense roms

MIUI is not AOSP. MIUI is a closed source kang of CM. But with it being closed source it is not considered AOSP
