Im sorry i posted this originally in the Apps section got no bites so imma post it here ... please dont flame me lol
I am in no way a dev but i was just curious if this app can been run/ported to a vanilla android build?
I am currently running [ROM] YetiROM_Nexus_Inc (Vanilla 2.1)- stable with stock kernel ... I have tried pushing HTCFacebook.apk HTCFacebook.odex and FriendStream.apk to the /system/app via recovery caused a boot loop ... rm'd FriendStream.apk still boot loop ... rm'd HTCFacebook.apk and HTCFacebook.odex and phone booted fine... I knew it couldnt be that easy... are there other dependacies that HTC Sense apps need? Im guessing there is code inside the .apk that needs changed? Is this possible?
I am running Jager's 1.6.1 rom, and I pushed HtcFacebook.apk, HtcFacebook.odex, Friendstream.apk and Friendstream.odex to /system/app, and all is working fine with facebook sync on mine, with no ill side effects..... Just to let you know it DOES work that way.
hmmm ok i did not push the friendstream.odex originally ... ill give it another go ... thanks for the info!
the rom you are running still has alot of HTC stuff in it ... the one i am running has none... so im thinking there are other dependencies for HtcFacebook.apk to function ...
I was trying to get the HTC dialer running on yeti, but to no avail. I believe that some of the HTC apks need the sense launcher, not positive though.
yeah im not too sure its the sense launcher its looking for per se but there is definitly a dependency that the apps are looking for that arent there ... i posted this in Yeti's thread hopefully he has some ideas ... i may just start trying to copy over some more HTC stuff in the /system/app folder and see if i can get lucky lol
All of the htc ops and widgets are built to run only with sense. Only reason it still works on jager rom is because its still sense just all of the garbage is removed. None of the sense apps will work on a true vanilla rom or even a launcher running over sense (launcherpro etc.)

Correct - however I never had any facebook syncing issues when I was stock using LauncherPro. This only happens with other roms. I am trying lots to get it to work. Since you can have both facebook and HTCFacebook, maybe HTCFacebook does the syncing (using friendstream) and facebook (downloadable from market) just slaves the synced info from that.

HTCFacebook is the syncing i have yet to find a decent app that syncs facebooks contacts as well ... syncmypix is good but nothing like HTCfacebook ... and im coming from a Blackberry world where they do is great ... we get Yetis rom syncing contacts with facebook and its the best... i love vanilla android ... i have no clue why companies want to overlay there bloatware on top ... ie HTC Sense and MotoBlur
The syncing worked great on my motodroid. The thing is that the version of facebook available for download on market for incredible is downloading on top of HTCFacebook, so in essence you are really using both (this in stock incredible). I'm sure as more roms become available, since we are in early stages of custom roms, that this will be addressed.
There is a tutorial on how to fix this at droidsp0t.com

That tutorial is for yager rom which still has alot of sense on it and i would imagine those steps would work for most of the roms out there that still have sense i actually tried doing that with Yeti's rom and it caused a boot loop ... im talking about trying to get facebook to sync properly with "vanilla" android ie no sense at all

Hello, I've been messing about with different roms for a while, and particularly like the 2.3 Roms, but miss the sense dialler, would love to have the apk for it and install it with a 2.3 build.
Cancel, I have just extracted it from a sense rom, having a bit of a dim evening.
ummm - so how did you do it then? I've got as far as finding the htcdialer apk but installation fails. Does it need to be installed in a different way or alongside other stuff?
Thanks,
Jon

I'm sorry to post here, because i dont have the right to post at dev forum.
I flashed pays-rom 2.1, and use Jorte . i just want to synchronize Jorte with my google calendar, but when i set the jorte , it always report error and crash when i open the calendar setting.
i recovery BlurCalendar.apk , BlurCalendarProvider.apk and CalendarSync.apk , and i fix that.
so, i want to know what other original apks cannot be removed?
If you want to be able add new events in the stock calendar, you'll also need the BlurEmailEngine.apk. those are the 4 apks you'll need to get the stock calendar fully working (I prefer it to jorte). I haven't found any others missing as of the v2.2 rom

Thank you for that information. Just for everybody else looking for this information, extract these files from the extra blur addon package that Pays publishes. Then you can put these files back in /system/app, for example with a short batch file. Then reboot, and you will have the stock calendar back.
Although the calendar is now working again, unfortunately my Android Agenda Widget isn't (others are working just fine).
Anybody any idea how to restore that functionality? Thanks in advance.

Nope. It will not work (saying without checking it).
But you can always backup the things and check anything.

Tip how make Gmaps usable
anyone got an issue with new gmaps on CM7 stable or nightly. The best way we can do is delete data and uninstal gmaps ten download attached apk and instal it. (then don't upgrade) leave at this version.
Is the older version of Gmaps 5.0 but works well on CM7 or other Gbreed roms.
Your choice to use the newest one with font issue and laggy or use older without all features that have new version but work smooth and fonts are clear.
I hope that help some users.
Sorry for my bad english.
Good info really.
Font is very clear and even the scrolling is very good. This should be the temporary option for those who worry about Google maps.

Thank you very much, you're a life saver.
I use google maps on a daily basis.
Using the old version of the maps does it. Thanks for the suggestion and attached file.

What features is lost in this version compared with new one? Is map cache available in this version?
Did anyone check the maps font issue in 2.2 sense custom roms. I think it was there in sense roms too. Just checked a sense rom.
Maps font issue maybe not the issue with cm7 as everyone is thinking.

I reinstalled the stock rom and am on the latest maps and I don't have any issues with the fonts.

The best way to make Gmaps clear ans usefull on CM7 is faind a way how we can extract Gmaps from stock rom and create .APK
If anyone can do this Gmaps will work well on newest version
the difference name of file is on CM 7 5.6.0 gmm-android-google on 2.2 stock is 5.6.0 gmm-android-htc probably if we got 5.6.0 gmm-android-htc then if we update to newest version we got a tweaked version by htc to work well on low resolution screens.
I'm interesting the problem occurs in othert low res android device like motorola flipout and some others

Answering my own question: no, this gmaps doesn't have map cache. Its too old.
I think that the problem with the fonts is related with 3D buildings on maps. Maybe this is the cause of lags on scroll, too.
I dont need 3D buildings, because I dont see any reason to it, but map cache is important to me. I'll try to find an intermediate version with cache and without 3d, and lets see...
Edit: My bad. 5.0 already have 3d buildings and cache also. Maybe its related with screen size.
I tried to install the older version of google maps but I don't manage to make it work. After I installed it the application stopped unexpectedly.
What can I do ?
EDIT:
I solved it, something strange (at least for me) happened, I was unable to uninstall the previous version 5.8 even with root uninstaller. I then browse with file manager in system/app and try to delete the map file but some problem can't delete it. Then I installed Titanium Backup and converted google maps into an app, moved it to SD and then uninstall it with success. I install the 5.0 and now I have a smooth app
maybe this will help somebody.
I was wondering if anyone had a Facebook for HTC Sense 4.0 APK or a file I could install. The rom I have on my phone doesn't have it on there and I can't use friendstream and the Facebook widget doesn't work correctly. (I'm not sure if that's any relation to why the Official Facebook widget isn't working) I have researched this extensively and I can't seem to find this file for Sense 4.0.
Here you go, both Facebook.apk and FacebookEngine.apk but not sure if they work for your ROM. Put them in system/app and put right permission rw-r--r--
These are HTC files so you still need the facebook app to make it work.
i have light edited a ROM, from the Official Gingerbread Sense 2.1 from Neophytex360
i would make eith other members a installable ROM for the Desire, why?
the ROM from Neophytex360 is old has the old market and apps that is not usable for young peoples. or have too many widgets and apps
the target of the ROM is to make an updated and simplyfi ROM for young peoples
only remove old apps and add new apps
for example: removed friendstream + widget, appsharer, footprints, stocks,
and update market to play store.
is this interesting to start to create the ROM ?
than i would uploading my editet Backup ROM, but sorry this is not for install or ?! i dont know ow grab the ROM from the phone
sorry for my bad english, im german
Go ahead and upload in the dev section. People who want to try will give it a shot.
By the way, two major problems with the stock ROM were low internal memory and the lock screen that used to unlock while pulling the phone out of the pocket.
If you can address these Iam sure there would be many takers.
Good luck!

To "extract" your rom, just copy "system" and whatever you need with root explorer and paste them on your sdcard.

You could've posted in other threads as well.
So... how is your rom different to other sense roms?
