[Q] CMParts or ODParts integration. - Desire General

Now, both of these offer insane options (and the new nightly CM6 CMPARTS.apk even has a 5 band system wide EQ). I noticed that in the OpenDesire Changelog it stated that ODParts was 'added'.
If this is the case, is it possible to add either of them to another ROM, such as DeFrost? The thing is that in the CM6 and OpenDesire Settings menu, there is an option to access these settings. There isn't one in Defrost. I extracted the Settings.apk and CMParts.apk from CM6 and pushed them to the /system/app folder and overwrote the Default Settings.apk, but all that happened was that Settings dissapeared from the app draw.
Is it possible to integrate CMParts or ODParts into another rom?
Josh.

Impossible without source modification of the Defrost settings app and the framework.

Thought it was something those lines. Thanks for the reply.

How to port sense ui?

How can i port sense ui to vanilla rom?
Which are interested files?
I already know about needing to edit init.rc, to put customize folder in system and to copy htc apps and libs but i can't get it working, how can i do?
Well, you'll definitely need the htc framework / res in /system/framework
along with Rosie, and the associated widgets in /system/app

I have to edit framework-res too, right?
No, although you need com.htc.resources.apk.
Ok, i tried to do this but there are some problems
1. There aren't sense colors (for example highlight color is android's original orange)
2. There aren't sense images
3. Notify bar is white and not black
4. Rosie Home FC continuously
How can i fix?
1: copy over the framework from /system/framework from another rom
2: copy over the htc-specific apps from /system/app (you definitely need rosie.apk and htcaddprogramwidget.apk, amongst others)

1. Already tried, stuck on bootscreen
2. Copied all htc apps
Ideas?
Just download Villain, and copy every apk starting with HTC from system/app.
You could try copying the framework too, but I've had a lot of problems porting it over 100% working vanilla builds. Try copying the framework over, but I can't guarantee it'll even boot. I think Villain is pushing it.. there are so many Sense apps and widgets that it seems sluggish.
Adwinp had it just right with his [email protected] roms. Perfect balance of Sense and no-sense. Very quick, but looked like sense.

I tried taking sense from villain and from hero/espresso hybrid:
- With villain if i copy the framework i can't get the phone to boot, if i don't copy the framework the rom starts but rosie give continuosly FC
- With espresso hybrid without copying the framework the rom doesn't recognize rosie as home, if i copy framework phone doesn't boot
Solutions?
Well
I can safely say it's being worked on . And Even more so that it is possible.
I currently have a working build based on Espresso Rosie with only a few problems in HTC widgets to iron out.
I can't promise when it'll get released (if at all) on my current schedule, but if I find the time to finish it for my personal needs. (I can't currently afford the time to keep flashing from my stock ROM to the Vanilla 2.1 I'm building it on).
I'm sure someone will beat me to a working build, but depending on how this next week goes with my real work, I may or may not have the time to finish it.
Just tried merging villain's framework-res with my rom's one, the phone remains on bootscreen

Out of interest - are you trying to re-sign the framework-res? Re-signing it with test keys will force it to hang on the boot screen.
I believe the launcher is the same... correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah...
I resigned it with stericson's method
So... we can't modify graphics in that res package? I wanted to customize it
Sorry for the little bit of thread hijacking here.
I too am interested in porting Sense, but to a Samsung device that's currently not supported in this forums - the Galaxy Spica (i5700).
I have tried to copy all HTC apps but the phone did not recognize them. For example, if I push all apps to /system/app and press the home button, the default home comes out and not sense (no prompt either).
Every other app FCs (for example com.htc.music or com.htc.browser).
Copying the HTC framework to the phone would result in eternal bootscreen.
Copying all the libs to the phone would result in hang

1. Download MIUI.
2. Download CM7.
3. Extract app from MIUI.
4. Replace app in CM7 with it.
5. Wipe Dalvik-cache.
6. Flash customized CM7.

Wont work!
try go sms instead! nice too!

It will not work.
Part of the reason is due to dependencies.
In other words, The messaging apk requires portions of code (and strings) located in other apks (such as contacts.apk and framework-res.apk). But even then, those apks require code from other apks, and so forth.
This cycle continues until pretty much all core APKs are MIUI APKs. And by that time, you are already using MIUI.
And this assumes that only APK dependencies are required - not specific system file changes.
Even if one string/piece of code is incorrectly declared, the entire APK may FC.
try Go SMS..
behave almost like MIUI msg, including the theme
does the latest gosms have the same slide down animations from MIUI instead of a popup?
Those are miui framework features.

[Q] [HELP] How to replace default dialer on CM 7.2?

Hi this must be a noob question, but i need to know how to replace the default dialer .apk file and also the contacts .apk file to something else (exDialer and exContacts) in the ROM itself.
Try extracting the apks from the stock ROM and replace it. Report back.
Sent from a Time Lord, using his TARDIS.
Nope it didn't seem to work!
It said installation failed.
Just follow these steps...there is a chance they might not work but you are free to try it
1.Install the dialer app(dont move it to sd card)
2.Use a file manager app with root permissions enabled(eg- ES File Explorer) and go to the "phone memory" then "data/app" copy the app's apk to the sd card
3.Now uninstall the app ....the install was for getting the apk file
4.Rename the backed up apk as "Phone.apk" (case-sensitive)
5.Backup your CM7 dialer by going into phone memory "system/app"....it will be named "Phone.apk".....back it up somewhere in the SD card
6.Now just take the apk of the dialer you wanted and copy it in phone memory "system/app"
7.Finally change the permissions of the apk as follows
--->In ES File Explorer,after moving your desired dialer's apk,long press for menu
--->Then select Properties
--->In the properties window there will be a button labelled "Change" just beside permissions
--->Then Select the 1st two check boxes in User,1st in group and 1st in other and press ok
8.Reboot the phone and pray to God it works
9.To revert back,just put the original "Phone.apk" in "system/app" and reboot

What happens?
Sent from my Wildfire S using XDA
You're not supposed to remove the default dialler app. It's a part of the system framework and the results when you do try to remove it will be severe. I believe that the phone aspect of Android is integrated into the default dialer apk (Both in sense and in AOSP).
In any case, there is no need to remove the dialler apk.You just install an alternate dialler and set that as default. It's works as if the original dialler was never there.
You cannot bring over the sense dialler though since that depends on the entire sense framework.
Just install exDialer and set it as default.
You can push it to /system/app if you would like. Leave the original one as it though.

As soon as I replace the Phone.apk, it force closes to the homescreen. After I try restarting the device, it refuses to get past the Boot Screen Animation.

So you're saying there is no way I can natively replace the dialer to the exDialer in the Rom itself?
FYI: The Rom concerned here is HCMIUI 3.2 by Henry. Brilliant Rom otherwise!
Exactly, the default dialler cannot be replaced except perhaps by a full replacement say from the original cm7 rom or a themed version of your current dialler. You can only add a secondary dialler which will work in addition to the original one.
Check out the apk for the original Phone.apk
You'll find the components of the in-call screen.
cm7 themes for example retheme the framework which applies some modifications to the original in call screen.

^ How do i do that? Actually this is exactly what i want to do, a full replacement!
You can probably take the Phone.apk and replace your current one with (Make sure you set the permissions to 644) but it really won't make much of a difference. Instead, just install the cm7 Theme Chooser and change your theme. HC MIUI is basically a themed cm7 rom with a MIUI flavor, MIUI apps and stellar animation effects!
Would love to get those on other ROMS!
There's actually a fuller MIUI (gb) but it's only on beta (There are some usability issues in which the colours in some apps are FUBAR) and the MIUI 4 (ics) is only on alpha... On my phone, the Phone crashed on making a calling the MIUI 4...
Well i guess this is not possible the way i thought i would!
maybe someone can make a patch or something that will do this( maybe for other default apps also) just a thought?!

[APP-CM10.1/AOKP/PACROM] Modded Camera/gallery app

Guys can't find a real fix for the cm-based gallery/camera bug where the flash/LED option is inverted.
Until someone posts a real solution, here is a temporary fix if you're still using the stock camera app bundled with cm10.1/AOKP or PAC rom.
I just inverted the PNG's involved in the settings menu so that the autoflash icon really shows AUTOFLASH and the no-flash icon shows NOFLASH function.

Back-up first your gallery2.apk. Then push the downloaded file to system/app, replace the old file, set permissions then reboot.
Hit thanks if you liked it!

[Q] Cyanogenmod style quick settings on Sense?

Is it possible to get the cyanogenmod style quick settings pulldown on a sense based rom? I love the look of cyanogenmod but I cant live without sense so I'm on a voyage to get a sense rom to look as close to cyanogenmod as possible.
The status bar (where quick settings is) is in the framework-res.apk. You could replace it with cyanogenmod framework-res.apk but you would more than likely have a lot of issues. There is a thread around here with a bunch of the sense apps that you can install on a cyanogenmod/gpe rom, like the camera and gallery and such. If you're brave you can backup your rom and then go to system/framework and replace the framework-res.apk with that of a cyanogen rom and set permissions then reboot and see where it gets you. I've never done it myself so I don't know what the outcome will be, but I don't recommend doing it lol could be highly detrimental.
