[Q] Fast and simple HTC Desire 2.2 rom without Sense?

What rom would you recommend for Desire? If I'm looking for:
1. simple: no sense, no extra stuff like facebook, stock widgets and crap.
2. stock Android UI.
3. the faster the better (good SetCPU app support would be great with overclocking and underclocking)
4. with all new 2.2 functions like 720p video capture.

OpenDesire I reckon, find it in Android Development

Will try today, if there wont be any better suggestions.

i second that.

I used OpenDesire for a couple of days and didn't care for it, I'm using a Cyanogenmod nightly (they're now basically release-quality) with a few unwanted APKs removed prior to installation (amazon mp3, facebook, twitter, calculator, live wallpapers, talk, etc) and it's by far the best rom I've tried. I've tried about 5 in all, all but Cyanogen being from this forum.
If you remove unwanted APKs, use extreme caution not to remove things that are part of the OS. For example, I removed the Google Talk APK but not its "provider" IIRC, since the provider actually does a bunch of other things and is in no way safe to remove.
Nothing against the other rom developers, but from my experience, Cyanogenmod is just on a whole different level.

definitely faster, works better with setCPU.. even the UI is more simple and clean it offers more then damn sense! Like these customizable power widgets and stuff that weren't on stock 2.2 OS. thanks
Camera works decent too.. but some options is missing, maybe there is alternative camera app?

What's the name of that widget at the top of the screen in the last picture? Or is that one of the "customizable power widgets" that aren't in Sense Roms or whatever?

Only being able to select 2g and auto on dearest and open desire is a real pain tho
Don't listen to u about putting back all stock profiles to include 3G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Widget Locker users, some help plz!

Is there an app or widget that can display the text message you last received on the widgetlocker lockscreen?
As you guys know, with the Sense UI lockscreen if your phone is locked and if you receive a text it will show you who sent the text, what time they sent it and a line of text what they said on the lockscreen. Widgetlocker does not do this and I talk to the developer and he said there are tons of apps on the Market for this but I cant seem to find any (he's not for sure if he's gonna add a last message received option on the lockscreen anyways).
Can you help, I really miss this option (and a native music app on the lockscreen as well).

Not sure what version you're using. My suggestion is contact the dev. I'm using a beta version that lets you "hide" sms so my impression is that in upcoming versions this may be working.
The dev's website is:
http://teslacoilsw.com/

I have the latest version, 1.26, there is an option to hide 3rd party SMS apps but for the native Sense UI there is no options to show. Thats what I'm using native Sense UI for all my text messages. I have talk to him but he doesn't really have plans to incoroprate it (or not high on his priority list for future WL updates).

My only suggestion and then I'm going on my way, contact kevin from teslacoilsw
He's pretty good about responding.

Thanks.
Any others can help?

Messaging widget. Throw one of those on there. That's what I did. Works great. Then you can reply to it whenever you want. Right on The lockscreen

REQUEST - MIUI Lockscreen PORT

i wonder if its possible to pull the MIUI lockscreen into a sense rom. i dont like the "click-on-colored-babyish-iphone-icons-style" of MIUI but the lockscreen is awesome!
Any ideas if there is a way to do this?

Run launcher pro with MIUI and you won't have to deal with those "colored-babyish-iphone-icons"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they still show that style on the app drawer or if placed on the homescrens?
I like a lot of things with the MIUI interface, but the thing that drives me away is the iphone-esque menu when you hit the menu button. I love the phone/dialer though.

MIUI should be enjoyed as a whole product, not in bits and pieces. But I'm sure someone could do it for you.

Laucher Pro will let you replace the icons with whatever ones you want when you put it on the desktop - there are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to change the look of the homescreens - but if it really is the menu system you don't like then hopefully someone can try and port the lockscreen for you

i was thinking of making this exact thread. it would be great to get that lockscreen but I was reading somewhere that it is non-trivial to port it to CM6

Non-trivial? So you're saying it's important to port it to CM6?
If that's the case, it could be ported to MIUI as well, since they are both AOSP roms.
Unless of course you mean trivial, which makes more sense...

Non-trivial in this sense means not easy.From what I have read,the lockscreen is pretty tied in to the Rom.

Yeah, this would be incredible if this was possible. I enjoy MIUI, but it has its pro's and con's. I really LOVE the lock screen, but on the other hand I really am not a fan of all the white/light grey system menus. With the number of people that are obsessed with theming their Android devices I'm surprised there isn't any option to change all those menus to a darker scheme.

Anyone have any luck with a port of miui? I would love to test it

[MODDED APP]Launcher2 w/ SMS Shortcut instead of Browser

Hello GUIse & Girls
I don't know about you, but I love the AOSP launcher from Android 2.3, it's sleek, compact and does exactly what it says on the tin. The only thing I have to fault about it is the fact that you cannot customise the dock to put an app of your choice there. So, I downloaded Launcher2 today and had a look in the PNG's & XML's and I saw that you can infact reroute it to show the app of your choice. So, I am introducing to you Launcher2 with the SMS Shortcut instead of the Browser. Below is a screenshot as an example, download link is also below just flash as normal via CWM. If you want anymore shortcuts adding to the dock, let me know and I'll do it. If you want to add this into your ROM. PM Me to let me know. Also, thanks to ReddV1 for giving me permission to modify and give me some tips on doing this.
THIS ONLY WORKS ON AOSP ROM's or with the AOSP SMS Installed.

Simi Clock Widget. Free app on the Market.

Nice work mate... Always liked Launcher2 but with the same thought that I'd like to change that second app...
After trying out TW I might have to give this a go!

Hi I was just wondering which message app this is trying to launch?
Every time I click on the icon it says application is not installed on your phone.
Thanks.

The icon looks like it could be ChompSMS, but I just figured that was the image used...

I will install chomp and see thanks for the advice.

Notice that NitrozK has updated the OP to show that its the AOSP SMS app that this works with...
Anyone that wishes to use this should head over to this thread:[APPS] 16 Aug: Google Stock bits for Galaxy S II ROMs where Paul has posted the AOSP SMS app along with all the others...
Note - You'll need to ADB push the app...

[Q] A few questions on the Juggernaut ROM

Hi all, I have been spending the last couple of days getting my SGS2 setup and I am very pleased with the Juggernaut ROM all except a few minor things.
I am coming from an HTC HD2 running an HTC Desire based ROM. I really liked Sense and the widgets it came with. I see a lot of alternative launchers out there to replace TouchWiz on the SGS2, but has anyone ever tried to put Sense on one of these?
What I specifically miss about Sense and my old ROM is
1.) The calender widget - It was simple and automatically integrated with Facebook so I could see everyone's birthdays in the month view. I was surprised to see that the calendar widget that came in the Juggernaut ROM didn't do this. I have been all over the market searching for a widget that would do this, but have found none.
2.) The SMS widget - It was simple and made it very easy to navigate message threads from one of my home screens. Beautiful Widgets Pack 2 has a widget that is close to what I want, but it is not the same.
3.) The SMS threading - The Juggernaut ROM uses an SMS threading system similar to the iPhone message bubbles (yuck!). I would really like to change this to almost anything else, mostly so my GF doesn't say my SGS2 copied her iPhone
Don't consider these things complaints, they are just things I would like to have changed to my liking and I was hoping someone would point me in the right direction.

Launcher pro has a calendar like sense, also SMS widget and other

Yeah, I tried that one already, but it does not get the birthdays for Facebook. It has an option to display birthdays, and I have it selected, but the birthdays still don't display. I don't care so much what the calendar looks like (that one does look nice though) as long as it is a month view and displays Facebook birthdays.
Update:
I got the default calendar working with Facebook. Even though I had my Facebook account setup on the phone, it was not setup on the calendar. Once I put it in all worked as I had wanted.

Android pro Widgets is the best way to get sense like Widgets. You can use it with any launcher that supports scrollable Widgets. Not sure about Facebook Calender sync though . Never tried it

I just tried this you can sync Facebook event calendars with google calenders. So that's pretty nice.

Also there are several SMS replacement apps in the market. I use handcent.
Like panda said these things you listed have nothing to do with Juggernaut and everything to do with touchwiz and samsung.

I would suggest the complete ICS theme on it. Biggg difference
