Ok, this might seem like a noob question...But I rooted the Desire Z and flashed Cyanogen 6.1 because I don't like HTC Sense much...But I really miss the HTC Locations application...Is there anyway I can find this application and if yes how exactly do I install it because I'm guessing it'll take more than just putting it in my sd card and installing it...
As far as I know all the HTC apps depend on the HTC Sense framework, which means they probably won't run on vanilla ROMs.
The guy above me is correct. HTC apps depend on the sense framework.

Hi im new to the fourms here and i had a question. When i flash a "senseless"rom, or roms w/o htc sense i dont get all the cool htc widgets, but i noticed when i flashed a rom by fresh i would see files called fresh removed apks and i was wondering if i could make those or some how get htc widgets over to another rom or something along those lines. Thanks a lot for any help.

Well if you wanted the removed apks, you should be able to long press them [after going into the folder] and try to install them, or you could move the using root explorer, ect and still install them. They are just apps the developer removed initially, but left them available to the user.
Senseless = no htc sense widgets ever.
If you want htc's widgets you have to use sense.
Senseless means that the ROM does not have the Sense framework, which is needed by the widgets.
HTC Desire Decent Custom HD Rom?
Hello XDA,
I have got a HTC Desire, and I was just wondering what is the best (nearest to stock) HD Rom for the Desire. I have had a look myself, but most are heavily modified, and although I want Apps2SD, I don't want loads of custom things like Titanium Back-Up, and I know that that's a usefull tool, but i'm really not interested in it. At the moment im using Reflex T Sense which is a HD Rom, but its havily modified with addons, can anyone help on my hunt?
Thanks.
Tried them all, and stuck with InsertCoin, because it's the fastest and the most stable for me and only a few extra apps comes with it (spareparts, CDH)
Also, you can just remove the .apks from the .zip file before flashing it, like I did to remove those unnecessary applications.
thanks, no doubt I will try it

Hi Forum,
I've been trying several Desire HD/Z ports from my 'old' desire and have decided to return to Starburst's ROM as I find it stable and fast... The one thing I miss from Gingerbread is the Mail.apk app.
I've tried extracting the APK from a Desire HD rom and installing it on my desire. Whenever I try to run the app (which shows up as 'HTC Mail' in the tray) I get an F.C.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the 2.3 Mail.apk running on 2.2? I'm running the Rosie launcher.
Thanks in advance.
Actually as far as i know the mail.apk is from the sense interface and not gingerbread related.. I dont think HD/Z have GB upgrade yet.. So, maybe the mail app is connected to another process/app from the newer sense in those two phones, thus making it un-operational on the older sense we have on our desires..
First, a correction - Desire HD software is not 2.3, but 2.2.1 for Desire HD (same generation as 2.2.1 for plain Desire, not Gingerbread).
Second, I don't think it's possible to port it the apk, as it depends on libraries, framework, modules etc - basically, you'd need to port a lot of files, ending up with a full Sense port from Desire HD to plain Desire.
In the words of Jack Bauer: Damn It!
Thanks for the replies. Going to stick with FroYo until GB comes out or until I upgrade in a few months...
Unbranded/Unlocked/Stock/Rooted HTC Desire GSM with Froyo
That's all really.
I don't want to move away from HTC Sense (even though I hear Cyanogenmod is very good) but would like the latest version of HTC Sense and Gingerbread. A few questions please:
1. Where can I find the Desire S GSM ROM for the Desire GSM? With installation instructions. I've already rooted.
2. I take it this is the best HTC Sense ROM to install? HTC Sense 3 (HTC Sensation) looks to be in it's infancy.
3. Will this ROM allow me to remove some of the preinstalled bloatware so I can install more apps?
Reasons for wanting to upgrade:
1. Increase storage, so I can install more apps. I'm always running out of storage.
2. Increase battery life.
3. Latest HTC Sense + Android.
Thanks
I should add:
1. I've tried searching but it drew a blank. All I could find was stock Desire S ROMs. I don't have a Desire S, so am guessing these won't work on my Desire.
2. I've never installed an Android ROM before, please bare that in mind when replying but have rooted my HTC Desire without trouble and also years ago installed TomTom on a cheap Chinese (Windows CE) satnav, again without much trouble.
Thanks.
p.s. - Apologises for posting this in two forums, it's not exactly clear which is the correct forum. Please delete whichever thread is in the wrong place.
Is this what you're looking for? Sense on Gingerbread based on Ace S (Is that Desire S??) Anyway , it is Gingerbread and Sense , as long as it works it should be fine whatever it is based on right?

All custom Roms are found in here if you wanna take a look.

Thanks 71baker. Yes that's basically it but I understand the Desire HD roms are safer.
Any idea where I can find a Desire HD (with Gingerbread) rom which works with the Desire and has installation instructions?
Try this one m8 i think you will find its what you are after.

there are some bugs in these roms at the present as they are early versions.

Thanks. That looks like just what I'm after. I'm not bothered about losing the video camera. It's absolutely rubbish.
720p is totally pointless when the lag is so bad, with even the slightest movement. My ancient VGA digital camera produces better videos (much lower res but perfectly fine motion).

There isn't a decent Desire S ROM available, better looking at a Desire HD one (or my normal Desire 2.3.3 ROM )
Well you are right when thinking you can't use the desire s roms, as they need to be fitted to the hardware.
And if you want more space, i will suggest you stay on stock desire rom, as desire s roms fills quite a bit more. You should start looking at some a2sd scripts instead(those are also used to make desire s rom fit into desire).
If you want the new sense and gingerbread, we have a forum just for roms(development) in there you will find 1 thread for every rom. The one you will be searching for is "rcmix s" and yes as eddyos states try to go with desire hd instead.

Thanks for this Eddy. Can you point me to the link or what to search for?
It looks like you're running an HTC Desire HD ROM with Gingerbread. I'm pretty sure the Desire HD officially still runs Froyo. Cool.

Got it thanks. It sounds like I want the Desire HD ROM instead. Does that have the same version of HTC Sense as the Desire S? I thought it was newer again, no?
I'm not running a DHD ROM - I'm using an original Desire 2.3.3 ROM
Look for SuperDuperAwesomeROM in ROM Development if you wanna look

Funnily enough I've just been looking at that thread. If I was to flash a new ROM, I'd definitely want the newer HTC Sense and Gingerbread. Any idea where I can find the ROM for this (I'm guessing Desire HD)?
