Im thinking about flashing from a Sence ROM (leedroid 2.2) to a Stock Android one....what can I expect ? What apps wont be in the Stock Android and stuff like that
Anything Sense related (apps and widgets) won't be there
HTC Sync wont work (if you use that)
- Bluetooth FTP. Alternative must be downloaded from the market;
- Gallery 3D has worst picture quality, specially when zooming;
- Android dialer doesn't have smart dialing. Dialer One is an alternative;

Or Youlu adress book.
You also wont get Facebook birthdays in your calendar, there's an alternative to use EboBirthday which can sync your friends birthdays to a calendar created in Google Calendar.
I've found it to be faster, and you get more internal space due to a lot of the HTC stuff not being there (but with Apps2SD that's not so much of a consideration) Think I prefer vanilla now

i've just flashed cyan6 after using opendesire sense for a while and really like it but miss the sense contacts and dialer app.
i really like the way the sense linked up contacts between facebook and google and i like the dialer better, particularly the t9 contact search
anyone have any ideas? i'll post my findings here as i go through the options
so far i tried dialer one for the t9 but didnt really like the ui, thought it was fugly
I`m also in similiar position with Hero :|
Try "Dialer One" app from the market.
Just stumbled on this : http://www.appbrain.com/app/youlu-address-book/com.youlu
Very slick UI, fast and it seems it will get updated more, since its out only since couple days. Im even trying it out on a Sense ROM ;P
You cant have sense contact app on a non sense ROM
Because it requires the sense frameworks..!!
So try some alternative app like the one suggested above..
I just installed OpenDesire on my HTCDesire. Its working great. Though I am missing HTC Contacts app.
is it possible to get HTC Contacts app on my OpenDesire now?

No, not without installing HTC Sense first. You're probably better off with a Sense ROM like LeeDroids.
Try LauncherPro - If you like it, unlock the Plus features ($2.99)
The plus features have widgets that look and act like the Sense widgets, including:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Friends (Like FriendStream)
- Messaging
- People
- Bookmarks
It's great. And there are mods, so if you want to there's the possibility of making the widgets transparent, blue and so on.
I am not interested in all HTC Widgets. After reading different reviews I came to know that it eats battery and memory. However, I really liked the way HTC manages the Contacts. Mulitple social accounts linked at one place. I tried to find some decent app for that but didn't like any.

Use SuperVillian ROM.
I use my phone for Business and Personal, Using HTC sync i have Phone contacts and Gmail contacts, which i can separate.
However, I'd like to run an AOSP ROM like CM6.1 or some of the new Gingerbread ROM's being released.
I have two Gmails (one for work and one for Personal) so Syncing wont be an issue, However. can i get the same contact separation i get using Sense on ASOP with some sort of app?
Hi Im A Htc Sense Rom User, I Like Sense A Lot especially the links and it lets me stays organized.The Problem Is My Internal Memory Is Small (1.1 gb)
I Tried Cyanogenmod and i liked it a lot
the only thing im missing well everything in htc sense i want the speed of cyanogenmod but i keep on returning to sense roms.
my question is: is there a way i can replace the htc sense stuff in CM?
like the camera
flip to silent
smart dialer
htc widgets
contact linkup or at least to sync my contacts facebook pictures
sense keyboard
please help me i want cyanogenmod so bad but at least replacements for the sense stuff cz the sense rom are big in size ( 250 mb) and cyanogen is small & fast.
Take a closer look at these Apps:
like the camera ---> Camera360
flip to silent ---> LLama
smart dialer --> Contapps
htc widgets --> which? / what are they doing?
contact linkup or at least to sync my contacts facebook pictures --> contapps
sense keyboard --> ThickButtons
How many apps do you have installed? Because if you're filling it up with 1.1GB of apps, you're doing well!
My recommendation is to use a Sense ROM, then use a ROM cleaner script on top to clear out the stuff you don't use, giving you more space. Because Sense is a full framework, not just a few bits and pieces running on top, you are unlikely to find any replacements for Cyanogenmod that work quite as well.
This could be a bit off topic.
Is there anyway I can get the cynogenmod phone.apk to work with Sense?
I'm coming from mid-ranged and low-end phones to the DHD and all of them use phones.apks similar to the cyanogenmod one. It's been over two weeks and I still uncomfortable with Sense phone.apk.

this is what i recommend too, just strip out everything from the rom you dont want and then flash it
rather than starting at the ground up find replacements for everything, start with the finished article and start slimming it down

Well I Will Give You A Suggestion Try To backup the cyanogenmod dialer in titanium backup and restore it in any rom u want. Always backup first if it didnt work try finding something in the market. And i will try this and i will post a link or tell you if another way worked bro.
I went from an HTC hero which was my first android phone to an optimus v, my preferences for replacing most of the sense feeling is launcher pro for the Widgets and go contacts for the smart dialer/contact linkage. There is a patched HTC_ime somewhere on this forum that will install on a non-sense rom but I can't remember where or search it out right now.

Just search HTC IME into Google, first result V27, but it isn't updated anymore. That said, I use it, and it does work very well indeed.

Hi All,
Currently, I'm using MIUI as my ROM, but seriously miss some of the great features of HTC sense.
Below is the list of features that i think should be included in MIUI ROM's.
1) Sense Contacts app and Dial-er -- I think that is the best dial-er till date as you can link all the contacts and the best part is Facebook sync.
2) Beats/SRS/Dolby Audio
3) Pre Installed Google apps like, Gmail, Maps, Search and busybox.
Which feature would be YOUR favorite to see recreated to the MIUI ROM?
