Can anyone include HTC Sync or something useful as it in the new ROMs?
I can't use your fantastic roms because I can't sync my phone simply with outlook... I tried some other ways to do it (android-sync, gmail, ....) but if you use so often calendar and contacts they are not the best way!
Thanks!
As has been stated before, no Sense = no HTC Sync. Since there are no Sense FroYo roms yet, the answer would be "no"

hi,
first i started with the sense package, which is really nice but too slow to be really usable on my blackstone.
Now i switched to the blank android 2.1 rom and it's so great to use.
But a really bad drawback is that it does not support calendar sync.
Now i though it might be possible to install the sense package and have all the htc applications but deactivate the sense ui.
Is that possible?
Any android should be able to sync with google calendar. What do you mean by not having calendar sync?
I think he means exchange calendar sync which is part of the sense distribution.
In rather ironic fashion.... Google's backend IS Exchange
I've ditched all outlook usage now.... Quite happy with Google's cloud services.
Damn sorry, yes i talk about exchange calendar sync.
This is not included in 2.1 or a bug, but it's reported for +3 months now.
As this is very essential, i don't think they just overlook this.
It's a big throwback cause i need it for my company.
I think i'm about to buy a Desire anyway so that would have the sync, but i do not like sense.
I thought i could just flash a blank 2.1 rom and drop sense.
But now that i know that i will loose the exchange sync then, that's not a good idea
Hello,
i am an android noob and this is my first post on the forum.
i have an htc desire which i upgraded to froyo. I see that it can synchronize facebook birthdays with your calendar.
unfortunately, i cannot activate that option. i have facebook for htc sense for contact sync and that works fine. i also have a standalone facebook application (only the HTC sense one is synchnornizing).
If i go to menu/calendars there is no option to add facebook, so i am stuck
can anyone help?
Anyone?
Is it too easy?
What software version are you running? This is currently only available for 2.2 (Froyo).
I am running Froyo.
Anyone please?
Missing some important birthdays already
Hi there.
Had Sense 2.2 (Leedroid) and had all my contacts synced perfectly with Facebook and Twitter, but now went back to DeFroST, but some contacts won't sync properly and I'm missing some pics, for example.
Is there a way (or a contact app) that I can use to be able to take advantage of the HTC Data field (in Notes, is it?) on a non-Sense Rom?
I searched the forum but couldn't find anything, sorry if it was answered before.
Thanks for any help!
I have this same problem and would like to know an answer. Tried searching, but couldn't fins anything.

How to?
If I choose to install a ROM without Sense I can't able to sync contacts and calendar events with Outlook.
I've a lot of contacts and also a lot of calendar events so this kind of ROM is not usable for me, unfortunately.
I tried android sync but it doesn't work as good as expected... maybe in the future it'll be better.
How do you do?
wrong section but it think it should work......

About section maybe you're right but it's where I found as many as non-sense roms.
What do you think it should work?
IS SHOULD, anyone?
Right, HTC Sync performs the Outlook<->Android contact/calendar sync and this is not available on non-Sense ROMs.
I don't know of a good free contact sync application for Outlook, but Google Calendar Sync will synchronise the calendar between Google and Outlook.
I've noticed that certain "advanced" recurring appointments that can't normally be entered in to Google calendar (e.g. "last day of month") will synchronise with Google Calendar and look fine, but then will _not_ synchronise correctly to the Android Calendar -- it ends up showing the recurring appointment on every day.
Simpler recurring appointments (e.g. "every Friday") work fine.
Personally, I'm just wondering what to do about these issues myself. I'd like to move to Google Calendar / Contacts, but the lack of advanced recurrences is a limitation for me.
I'm also looking at moving from Outlook to Thunderbird/Lightning, which have plugins for Google calendar and Google contact sync. Neither seems perfect though and Lightning still sees the issue with advanced recurrences. Perhaps it's an issue with Google Calendar instead of the Android Calendar / Lightning.
I can't use Thunderbird... but only Outlook because I use it for my job. Also I use a lot calendar (2 or 3 appointments/day) and have >1k contacts growing day by day for my job..
I think all other ways to do sync are less nice/suitable than HTC Sync software...
Do all other devices (non-HTC) has sync problems?? How they do??
Is possible to add Sense's sync features to non-sense roms?
up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also have a android ROM without HTC Sense and noticed the problem getting the calendar to sync. Is it possible to install just HTC Sense, or do i have to flash to a ROM with Sense on it?
another way would be desire funambol client <-> funambol server <-> whatever (kde,outlook,...)
Can you please suggest me an other launcher that can do all sense's sync abilities?
Because i want to flash no sense roms. But others' launchers can't sync contacts like sense... Example, sense contacts note the people's facebook or others ID numbers in google contacts list. Then when you flashed some other rom, it can completely renew all of your contacts basically.
I have already now syncing people like, facebook, Twitter, foursquare, Skype, tango, what'sup msg ext...
Is there any application that can do all basically?
(I hate to install any contacts application to change my own. I'm searching all in one roms)
Thank you for all...

What people tend to do is use the google sync to sync the contacts. For the rest you'll need to download the apps to sync the other services.
There are some apps that have several in one. For example imo messenger (not sure if it's that one) has msn, skype and several others.
What you could do is go into the market, search for facebook for example, and read the description of the other apps. Some of them will sync facebook and twitter.
Regarding the roms, there will be a seperate file to download called google apps which is for no sense roms. They are usually listed in the op.
Not sure if there is a single rom that does what you want. There is a reason it's a no sense rom.

?
why is there so amny sesnse stuff?
if you want a rom that does it all for you , you should use a sense one and stay on it cz aosp roms you must do everything by yourself, its just pure android as google release it
Sense is hard to replace, now I'm using a custom ics rom, with standard launcher plus beautiful widget and pure messenger that are good apps but aren't free.
