Stop HTC Sense from auto-restoring Hub downloads? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After wiping or flashing a new Rom, I usually add my HTC Sense account under Accounts&Sync settings...
After doing that, Sense always automatically downloads and installs about 5-6 widgets from HTC Hub...
Is there a way to turn this off?
I had downloaded these widgets manually on another Rom, but didn't use them and even uninstalled them. Still, Sense redownloads them automatically on every new Rom... Kinda annoying.
Any help appreciated!

Skip putting in your gmail details at first boot.
Then untick the automatically restore apps option in one if the settings menus.
Then add your account details.

That works for the Google account, but I'm talking about the HTC Sense account here... (the one used for downloading widgets etc. from HTC Hub)
Thanks anyway!

calendar - help !!!

totally blown away by my desire, although, I still need to tick one more box.
I use my calendar a lot and utilise the busy/free option on windows mobile to mark entries as done. this functionality exists on google calendar but not on the android calendar.
can anyone offer any advice or suggest an alternative calendar that provides this ?

Try pure calendar grid. I use that. Maybe email the developer first. He gets back in good time.
thanks, given that a go but its just a widget that links into the existing calendar.
any other ideas ?

But it links to google calander.
yep, not disputing that. just need this one bit of functionality.
thought it would be widely used in android as its a standard part of google calendar itself.
just can't find the ability to use it on any apps.

You can try motocal once we're able to push to system.

Give the guy an email, maybe he can help.
I too have the same issue. I sync with Exchange via Activesync and it doesn't honour the free/busy option.
I use Vibrate During Meetings (VDM) which sets your phone onto vibrate during meetings. This has an option to only do this for appointments marked as "busy", but since the Desire calendar doesn't honour this setting it's no good to me.
I am on call for a week at a time, so put an appointment in my calendar for on call which is marked in Exchange as free. Unfortunately since the free setting doesn't propagate to the phone (by either HTC Sync or Activesync) the phone puts itself on vibrate for a week at a time.
I'd be interested in a solution if anyone finds one.
agreed.
can't believe that this functionality hasn't been considered in the android calendars.
this is probably not an issue to a lot of people but its key to my phone usage, especially after coming from winmob where this had been standard for years.

What??? I am confused as to what you want. Do you have a sense rom. Is it custom or stock. If you want to sync Facebook contacts with regular contacts and you have a sense based custom rom you should have no problem unless you or the rom Creator deleted the Facebook for HTC apk. That is the one that syncs Facebook contacts to regular contacts.
Or you could search the market for an app that will sync the contacts together. I know there is one there but I forgot the name of the app. Just go over to the market and do a search.

[Q] People & Facebook for HTC Sense

Is there any way that my friends photos don't change when i sync them with FB for HTC Sence, because they look very lq, and it's horrible to see ??
I've had it happen to me, fixed it by deleting my Facebook for HTC sense account and re-adding it. Then force a sync.
Good luck

First thing after new ROM

Hello.
What is the first thing (or first few things) you do after flashing a new ROM?
Me: disable data =D; I get charged like crazy if I leave it on. I turn it back on only when needed.
The very first thing I do is hit reboot in recovery.
via xda app
Ummmm setting up a google account and sync my contacts...

Waiting for about half an hour until my apps automatically be downloaded and installed (i guess it happens over my google acount) and the reboot
I'll make cookies for my kids.

Same here, make sure I'm signed into my google account and get all my contacts back. Or else I get texts from people and don't know who they're from
Praying to god this would be my last flash. I managed to accomplish that.
Restore contacts and accounts
same here, then reboot.
I disable data..enable wifi and set up my google account, change my wallpaper and titanium restore.
The first thing I do is fill my Google Account in order to reinstall my free apps from the Market and my address book contacts to see if the memory below Ext is well behaved and if so restored with titanium backup.
disabling/freezing apps/services that i dont want, and make my data connection 2g for more batter : O)

[Q] Facebook keeps running in background...

Hi there!
I don't use fb, so I have disabled all related apps. But when I check the taskmanager, there is "facebook for HTC Sense" always listed. I don't want to have facebook running on my phone, so, how can I get rid of it?
Thank you for your help!

That's what I've already done, as I wrote before. It won't stop running
Sucks it can't be deleted. Only the updates and its annoying that the update keeps popping up.
