Just wondering if anyone who had ported the desire HD rom has tried out HTCSense.com. If so please report findings and screenshots if you have them.
Htc hub doesn't work on the rom I'm using. I went to use htcsense.com last night but it had some error loading the terms of service, so it wouldn't let me through.
Desire HD htcsense.com
I was running the Desire HD rom for awhile but went back to another rom.
I just logged in to htcsense.com this morning with the account I created while running Desire HD and everything seems to work, even though i am not currently runing the Desire HD rom.
I will make it a point to go back to Desire HD once he has the camera fully functional because it was impressive, it would be sweet to utilize the htc sense functions.
Just saying...
Works for me. I'm running v0.6 and it synced all my stuff. Msgs, People, locations. Just apps doesnt work right. its cool. i guess. I havent tried the wipe phone etc lol.

So are you saying that one could flash the HD ROM...setup an account...switch roms...and still use the features of HTCSense.com? I really like that plan.

No, I tried out DI's HD rom a while back and created my HTCsense account. After logging into it today, it looks as if my account is actually there, it even has my backed up text messages, and contacts from when I was running the HD rom, but since I flashed to a new ROM all connectivity with the HTCsense site has stopped.
So just to sum it up, HTCsense.com will only work(sync) when you are running a ROM that is based off the newest version of sense, like the Desire HD or Z roms at the moment.
I really hope someone figures out this camera thing out soon, I don't care if its the new camera interface or even the one the Inc uses now, but once its sorted I will switch back for good the new features are things I've hoped to have for a while now.
Despite the absence of the camera - the incdoes desire hd is my daily driver now. Way too many improvements over any previous custom sense or aosp ROM that I have tried. My recommendation - try it out - you will be very surprised.
Also, new desire HD dump is here too and apparently its even better. I am awaiting that to be ported over to the inc.

no theres another new hd dump
Yeah I can get in to htcsense.com as well with the account I made when I first loaded ID's DesireHD ROM as well - but since I'm not currently running it I can't see how it interacts with the phone - but I can browse all the stuff on the site
I'm not able to access it from the phone, haven't tried it from my laptop though

I went to the site, www.htcsense.com, then signed up, saying that my phone was the desire HD, then it said I had to sign in on my phone then activate it on the omp. so I loaded .06 of the incdoe port, i was able to sign in to htchub and it completed the thing for the site, i was able to make the phone ring from the website send stuff to it, lock it use all the feature and all that it was pretty cool. Im loading my stock 2.2 ota back we'll see if I can still log on to the site still.
Thread moved to Q&A.

You could get Google Maps navigation on any ROM..
The most popular HTC Sense-based ROMs are LeeDroiD and AuraxTSense, they're pretty much the same, have a look at both threads and pick your favourite..
Mind you, you'll lose the Skype/MSN apps that get shipped on Three phones, should be able to find them on the net after and re-install

Skypes now available on the market

I would try LeeDroid or VillianRom, both are good stable Sense roms.
I think what the OP is asking is the new navigation found in the sense hd roms and a sync app that can sync to www.htcsense.com/
But I could be wrong.
Is anyone working on porting HTC Locations from the Desire Z and Desire HD to the Desire?
If not, are their any guides on getting started with this sort of project? I've done some development over the years on various platforms so I'm sure I could pick this up or contribute.
That would really be awesome. The best thing i like about the new Desire line is the HTC Locations and HTC Navigation bit.
Not sure anyone would want to take this on as you can just flash a HD rom and use it that way. The camera will be fixed eventually and that's the only issue with the hd roms. Unless you're opposed to your apps needing an ext partition.
I didn't realise you could do that, I'll head over and take a look, thanks for the info.
RCMixHD is best HD rom at the minute. Requires an EXT partition on your sdcard. Minimum 512mb i recommend at least 700mb one though. No Swap partition also.
Once you have the rom installed you must download Maps through it for anything to work (poi etc). UK maps were 400mb+
EDIT:
Also bear in mind that the camera doesn't work yet as a lot of stuff needs editing for it to work. The guys are working hard for it.

There are other things I'm not very found in the HD roms.
For once everything is smaller giving the lower dpi that the HD has compared to our Desire. One example is the keyboard that was almost useless if you have bigger fingers although I saw that's been fixed by replacing it with the Desire Z keyboard. But there are other stuff too.
I do think porting the HTC Location is a better way but I might think this is not so easy. For once will you able to legally buy the navigation part after you download the maps if you have another device that the Desire HD? And if you reflash are you still able to use the license and not pay again.
So I do think you're right about people not jumping in on this, but it would be great though
Yeah it's a shame really. The best we can hope for is for HTC to update our Desires with a new Sense rom that fits on Nand...could be asking too much of HTC there though!
Smaller DPI is SO much better, makes it look smooth - much prefer it to normal Sense on the Desire

silly Q, what does the 'swap file' do/mean exactly, I am using RCMixHD v11 and have used Rom manager to partion, 512 with 32 swap.
thanks in advance

It's a special file or partition where the OS stores less used data from RAM so that more RAM is available for apps that need it

According to a news site I follow in Denmark, it was confirmed by HTC on a press meeting in China earlier this month, that the new Sense (and support for htcsense.com) will become available for HTC Desire through a future update sometime before 2011.
The news came from a translation of this tw page:
http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/?prod_id=4018&tid=4520460
I'm not sure if Locations will be a part of this (rumoured) update, but it wouldn't make sense not to include it, imo.
HTC Locations
Hi, I was wondering, has anyone revisited this? I'm really curious if it's possible to launch HTC Locations on a rooted Desire with CM7.1
Hello. I'm new to the Android world, and I'm wondering about how may I get the htcsense.com stuff. Do I have to install a Desire HD ROM, or the HTC Hub app? Thanks.
currently, HD ROM
Okay. Does that mean that I won't be able to use my camera?
currently, yes
Well, I need my camera more than htc sense.. I guess I'll wait for fixed ROMs.
HTCSense.com is apparently gonna be available to the Desire in December, so you'll be able to get the goodies then
Hey y'all! I am new to this ROM hacking and everything else but in the past month ive been really experienced! I got all the software, apps and everything!
I am wondering if it is possible to extract the HTC Camera software, all the apk's and lib files, and paste them on to the stock android ROM, will it work? I have done it with things like Swype files, and further software files.
So does someone out there know if its possible to put Desire Z Files on the G2 stock android to make it work? and have some D-Z features on the G2?!
Also another cool thing would be If I can use the stock android Texting app or texting software on the Desire Z ROM?
Other things that I am thinking about are:
The Dialer
Contacts
Texting UI Software
Also, To anyone that has the Desire Z ROM running on the G2, when tethering, does it only tether 3G Networks? Or is there a feature that enables 4G? Thanks!
So I've tried something similar with the clock widget, but when I tried to install, it failed and said it was missing a certificate. My guess is the same thing would happen for all of these.
Aw man, but some things might work right? what about a stock g2 lickscreen for the desire z rom? i can never get used to sliding that thing down
Eventually, there will be hacked up ROMs with bits and pieces from every corner of the earth - I wanted the same thing on my Nexus (stock with the HTC cam) and there were a few options (though all had bugs here and there). Given the G2 was *just* permrooted, it might be a few weeks/months before you see some really creative ROMs.
Other stuff, like the lockscreen, can be changed with apps like widgetlocker and such.
You should definitely try out the Desire Z rom, though. It's all kinds of awesome, with new features that weren't there in previous versions of Sense. Hell, the camera app alone is worth it - makes the stock Android camera app look like a joke.

Oh I know man its amazing, I installed it a few days ago and I havent even thought about stock anymore haha its pretty great and the Camera is AMAZING
I know people have been pretty unhappy with the service but HTCsense.com has worked fine for me since I booted up my phone back in October 2010.
I've been swapping between Sense and CM7 but always find myself ending up with the latter as it's just so much easier to use (currently on Nightly #32).
I think I know the answer to this but is there a way of linking up HTCsense.com within CM7 either by taking an APK out of the Sense system files or is it too deeply encoded within Sense for it to be extracted?
I've found all the other services (Lookout, WaveSecure, etc) to be fine on the first glimpse but there's always hidden charges or features that need money to be unlocked whereas HTCsense.com is a free service.
My main reasons for wanting HTCsense.com is the phone finder, the ability to make the phone ring (I know I can just call it) but also to remote wipe it.
Like I say I think the answer is no but thought it was worth checking.
I don't know about getting HTCsense.com tracking to work on CM, but you could try this app Prey Phone Tracker. I'm currently using it and it's great.
I'd love to have the HTC Hub working with CM7, just because all my messages & contacts are backed up in the HTC hub :-(
-----------------------------
I've been trying prey and I can see the benefits but it still doesn't have that great dashboard that htcsense.com has. Also being able to see and send texts from the same service is great.

My two pennies worth but Seek Droid (http://www.seekdroid.com) is very good: it's quicker (ie, more or less instant) at locking or wiping a phone - when testing with HTC's version, I'd send the request and nothing would happen for (sometimes) hours :S
It doesn't backup SMS for you or show you your phone book: however, since your phonebook is synced with Google, you can see the contacts via http://mail.google.com in any case. It does allow you to locate, lock, wipe or ring your phone remotely which is all you really need from remote software like this...

thanks, but i have flashed the cm7, after that my nandroid backups didn't work and all my contacts & messages are just saved on htcsense.com
i just need to find a way to get them on my phone once...
...
I think the ultimate goal here is to use CM7 but attain that singular piece of Sense code that syncs with htcsense.com and merge that with CM.
It would be great to setup CM7, go into accounts and settings and see the option for HTC within the usual crowd.
I get that there's alternatives such as Prey and backup software such as MyBackUp Pro, which do a great job, and you can also use a stock ROM with the Sense interface swapped out but oh to have those 3 letters appear within CM accounts would be fantastic.
