Dunno how many other people share my feelings, but I love the AOSP/CM6 browser more than HTC's browser. If one of you kind developers wouldn't mind, I'd love to see the AOSP or CM6 browser ported to Sense or installable on Sense.
So far what I've tried is simply renaming HTC's browser to Browser.apk.bak, and then moving CM6's Browser.apk to my phone. I then rebooted and tried to run it, but it force closed instantly. I've attached the logcat for anyone that is interested.
I'm gonna see if I can install the apk.
edit: no bueno; even after installing it, it force closes when opening.
I've been trying to do the exact opposite but haven't gotten any replies from my posts. I love cm6 but would rather have the htc browser. Good luck
i'm searching for the same thing found a possible that show's u how to do it but it just F/C on me too will be searching too
What I liked about the HTC browser was that you could pinch it. I'm surprised that Google includes this functionality in Android/Froyo but not in their own browser.
So like the 2nd poster, I'd like to see a pinchable (e.g. HTC) browser in CM6.

Is there a way to get for example the normal text messaging or music apps to work on the htc hero? Or the motorola messaging app (with the facebook inbox and stuff) to work on it? i went through all the possible roms today and loved the motorola messaging app. i also loved the stock android one too. also if its possible to change the default phone app? and maybe the contacts? i love everything else about the phone. haha. i know some people will be like why did you get a hero? well i really like those apps alot and i love my hero for every other reason. i do know how to use adb and everything. i have tried removing the stock messaging app and putting the stock android one and it doesnt appear. anyone got an idea?
do you have the motorola apps? I would like to test these on Hero.
I have them and would gladly post some, but there is an .odex file to go along with it. if u want to deodexize i think tis called the file then ill gladly post them for you. i just don't fully understand how to do that. i do however have the stock android apps without the .odex in them and it still does not work on the hero after removing the defualt messaging app. anyone got an thoughts onto how to do this? it would be great to have a htc hero mixed with motoblur rom.
That would be awesome! I would atleast like the Happenings app/widget from blur. =)
I have Swype ver 6826 installed (fixed-by-JD) that I picked up a couple of months ago on the Nexus forums. Generally it works ok, however when entering text in the default browser, Swype slows down so that you have to pause between each word as you wait for it to enter the text you have swyped. Highly annoying!
At first I thought this was Swype's fault, but I have now tested it in Steel and DolphinHD and text entry is absolutely fine & quick in those browsers. So what gives? What has HTC done to the default browser that cripples/slows Swype down?
I prefer the default browser over Steel or Dolphin, so would rather fix it if poss, than change browsers.
One final question - can someone with a rooted Desire please advise me if this problem still exists on a vanilla(ish) Android build (either 2.1 or 2.2) that doesn't have all the Sense crap integrated into it? Also, is the default browser on the Desire the same as vanilla 2.1 Android - or if not, what are the differences?
I am THIS close to rooting anyway, since I'm getting hacked off with having had no space for new apps pretty much since the first week I got the phone. If rooting fixes this issue as well then I'm gonna go ahead and do it!
I have the cm6 Tom but I dislike the 3d gallery because of video viewing... I can't get full screen like I can with the regular htcgallery.apk... is their a place I download and install it...

Give me a minute ill test it on cm6 and let you know
I dont know if this is from htc but somebody got it from the incredible and its the gallery and it works perfectly on the evo
That one didnt work either. I would love to go back to the htc gallery also, hate the the 3d in cm
bump...anyone gotten this to work on CM6? I hate how slow 3d gallery is.
any HTC app is going revolve around sense and (more than likely) not going to work on a sense-less ROM. Trust me, I'd LOVE for that apk to work, because i LOATHE the 3dGallery.
I highly doubt cyanogen would even think about messing with trying to get it to work. if i knew more about sense and its framework, id dive right in and try to get it to work, but i know nothing about it.
theres another thread about this same thing here

Wow, that 3d gallery works really well on the evo, installed it just fine on stock 2.2 The only one i have found so far that is smooth, and retains the 8mp camera functionality. Where did you find this from? I notice the icon is different too from the stock android and HTC gallery. Can you get the gallery from 2.2 to work this well on the evo?
Bumping this because I also can't stand the 3D gallery and was wondering if anyone had any luck getting HTC Gallery to work on CM6.
Or are there any other galleries? Can't seem to find anything in the Market. Someone should kick Google in the google for coming up with the crapass 3D gallery with blurry previews and slow performance

I use the one that is posted in here..I found it somewhere else but I have to go in with root explorer and delete the gallery3D.apk then flash the above .apk in a zip through recovery.
It at least loads faster and loads all my pics everytime..
Have you got a flashable zip of the gallery you're speaking of? I only see it in the thead as an apk. Thanks!

You can only flash this with clockwork because I dont know how to sign .zips.
Thanks sir. That gallery worked for me but looks and acts just like the 3D gallery on my phone (only difference I notice is that the icon is different and it doesn't work with the camera) so I went back to the CM6 default 3d gallery.
Still wish there was a simple 2D Sense-like gallery for CM6
Good news - thanks to androidforums I was able to find the old AOSP 2D gallery. I've installed it and it works great on my 2.2 evo with CM6.
The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the little thumbnail in the camera. When you touch it, nothing happens (after uninstalling the 3d gallery that is).
But, you can press menu on the camera then click gallery it works!
Anyone who wants a 2D gallery on CM6 I highly recommend this. Multi-touch pinch to zoom works on photos as well as swipe for next.

I posted this on the CM Slide forum but I haven't gotten any actual help yet, I'm hoping someone here on XDA will be a bit more helpful
CM6/7 comes with the Gallery3D apk, which looks nice. However, it's slow. I hate opening it and sitting there waiting for the pictures to load, especially in folders with a lot of pictures.
It's even more annoying when I am trying to send an email/picture message and I have to sit there for a couple minutes waiting for them to load.
Does anyone have the stock gallery apk, or a good alternative? Or ANYTHING which will help whatsoever?
Thanks
So I don't know what this is, but the thread looked similar.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775897&highlight=gallery
You could try that out, the file on mediafire there is Gallery.apk, but I haven't tried it out.
Thanks for the quick response
I actually did try doing that, it worked but it was very..unorganized, I guess. And no way to change it around to make it better
I'm currently using JustPictures...hoping to pull the stock gallery from my girlfriends Slide when I see her..but I was hoping maybe someone had a nandroid backup or something.
I looked in the stock Eclair ROM and it' says HTCAlbum.apk. I'll upload the .apk for ya, I hope it helps you out somewhat.
EDIT: AlbumStuffs.zip has 3 files, the .odex and 2 lib files. Lemme know if that helps out Now I'm interested in if this works.
Thank you!
I'm going to try it now, I'll edit this when I find out what happens.
*edit*
No good. I get Application Not Installed.
I'm currently trying to push to /system/app via ADB, hoping that helps.
Any ideas on what might work if this doesn't?
Thanks!
**edit 2**
ADB install gives me Install Failed Missing Shared Library, I'm guessing there's another file that goes with the HTCAlbum.apk, maybe an odex or whatever?
Would you mind maybe doing a quick search for anything associated with it, and upload if you find it? I'd appreciate it
Thanks again.
i would like the samething. i hate that the 3d gallery lags!!
well, I've tried pushing those files, fresh installs, and a few other unorthodox methods... can't seem to get the 2D gallery working from the HTC based Album. I'm not a dev at all, so I really can't do much else to help out here. Maybe a dev will glance over here while they are bored and looking for a project or something? Good Luck though, hope you are able to get this working.
You can't pull the stock gallery for several reasons. One, it's odexed, and our rom isn't, which might be why you get app not installed. Frameworks aren't compatible. Even if it was deodexed, it wouldn't work, since stock htc apps are tightly tied into com.htc.resources.apk and other htc and tmobile framework apk files which cm roms don't have. It is probably impossible to run htc system apps as standalone apps on other roms. Personally I don't have gallery issues running cm7, but if you do you will have to find a market alternative.
You can also select a tool like astro when attaching images when it asks you what you want to use to select an image, if you are having issues with the stock gallery from google.

I saw a thread in the Development section this morning with a zip posted that claimed to make the stock browser use hardware acceleration. I have the zip on my computer, and was going to flash it after other users reported it working. There were a few undetailed posts saying that it did work, but now I see that the thread has been removed by a mod?
What happened? Is this spyware/adware? I saw someone mentioned something about adfly links being involved in the OP, and they said he deserved an infraction...
So what happened? haha
I want that zip, an I wanna know what happened too. Was it because the ad links???? This could be very beneficial
I want that zip, I want to see what it does.
It's the same as the one in the "Themes and Apps" section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271670
It does work but it will make your browser less stable. Even other apps that utilize webkit like Facebook will force close more often.
The files originally were from the Evo 3D.
Use only for 2.3
No force closes at all yet, been using the browser and Facebook all day.
Oh don't get me wrong, it's not going to force close all day lol.
With that said, I never get force closes using the stock webkit renderer in CM7.1 as opposed to the occasional one. The acceleration is nice enough that I ran with it anyway.
Also, Vellamo has a higher percentage chance of encountering the force close. It's also an excellent tool to verify that the acceleration is working properly. The three "flinger" tests will have numbers near 60fps.

none of the links work, can i get a link? i wanna add this to my GBslim ROM
Hmm, the original poster didn't have the thread closed so it should be alright to repost it.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ryap9lc3lrpb00z
I'm pretty sure it'll only work for AOSP and CM7.1
Let me know if this is the right one. NANDROID backup before installing this. I accept no responsibility for this since I had no part in its creation.
