[Q] HTC Sense Copy&Paste for non-sense roms?

sorry if this has been asked before, my search didn't lead to any results, so I try it this way.
I'm running OpenDesire 3.1 at the moment and really like the stock Android UI a lot more than HTC's Sense. But, I have to admit, that HTC did some nice things to android.
What I really miss a lot is the way copy&paste works in Sense
(if you hold your finger on one word it gets marked and you can move the two slider at the beginning and end of that word to the desired length of what you want to copy etc.).
Is there a way to port that over to OpenDesire or another non-sense ROM?

If you want you can try this application

There is also free version, it work also with immage, and it can replace the copy/paste of sense.
I bought it and i can say that work soo good.
I hope this can help you with your problem.

thanks, that's quite good, but I think it's pretty expensive and it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I really like the litte pop up with the options of copy, search and share...
This here is what I'm talking about(just in case I failed to describe it clearly):
(edit: since I'm not allowed yet to post Links, it's a video on androidcentral, where the feature is shown on the Droid incredible.)
I'm really happy with OpenDesire, but I miss this function a lot.

I think almost everything you only see in Sense, will only be available WITH Sense. That copy and paste thing is built-in to the browser. (and maybe other Sense apps? I've never tried)
That's just my guess.

Yes, I understand which function you mean, but I think you can find only with sense rom..

Not sure, some people are trying to port the camera app and other things, so, maybe it's possible...
Also I think the copy and paste thing wasn't just built-in to the browser, but available in most apps.

Yeah, I know... but that's why I'm asking
I still have a little hope, that a dev says, it's possible to implement something similar(doesn't have to be identical )...

[Q] Classic sense dialer with cyanogenmod

I'm running the latest cyanogenmod on my desire at the moment but the one thing i am missing about the classic htc sense OS is the dialer. I hate hate hate the built in one with cyanogenmod, and miss being able to link contacts, add their Facebook photos as callerid and having their Facebook status displayed when they call. I also miss having the ability to just start typing a name or a number and it searching.
I'm referring to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So what I am asking is; is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks in advance!

you MIGHT be able to get a theme to make it look similar to this, but you probably wouldn't get any of the functionality.

agreed
I'm with you 100% velk.
The dialer in the CM is garbage. I'm thinking of switching to MIUI.

I'm running cm6 nightly and I downloaded dialer one from the market , that's a great dialer.. Very similar to htc sense. Try that before switching roms.

Maybe try Dialer one in the market? Not as good as sense dialer but better than stock for sure.

haha, I happen to be the opposite, I'm trying to use aosp dialer on sense roms

haha lol~~
i love Sense dialer but yesterday i found a replacement on my OpenDesire. Try Youlu address book guys, its very clean!! and IMO, sense dialer challenger.

I'm on Cyanogen and I still have Facebook integration in the contacts list.

If you'd be interested, maybe we can write an app to replace the stock dialer... I'm in the process of trying to write a camera app to replace the stock one. I can definitely do the graphics for skinning the app... coding is a bit of another story ;D Might need a crutch for that.

Use Dialer One, as many ppl suggested. It works with no bugs, it is highly customizable and the developer is quite responsive.

I'm using Dialer One on CM 6.1 now, but is there any way to change the 'shortcut' of the standard dialer and make it point to Dialer One (or another dialer)?

I'm using Youlu Address Book and CM6.1 and what I did was dropped a shortcut to Youlu on the desktop, then if you pick it up and drop it in place, you can set a custom icon for it (I chose the phone icon from the Gingerbread icon pack I'm using for ADW Launcher). Then I dropped it down on the favorites bar.

Thanks, that did it! Didn't know the bottom bar was a favourites bar

Yeah, I just have my dialer, app drawer, and sms down there, the things I use the most

You know you can also expand it from 3 to 5 if you want to add a couple more apps.

Rocket dialer seems much better and great customazible
But sense from liberty rom is very nice

[Q] What rom is this? & Is it available for MTS3G

I hate not having a hard key for calls. And I'm wondering what android rom this is, that has the large Call button in the middle of the dock & if its compatible for MT3GS.
Also, I'm using ADW, and I've bound my Home key to the Phone app. Is there ANY possible way to bind Home key to ANSWER, and the Genius key to END CALL? To be honest, I dont use the Genius feature, so that key is useless to me. This would be great!
Or if possible, Genius key to ANSWER calls. because it is way too difficult to figure out what way to answer your phone in the morning when the phone wakes you up.
And to be quite honest, I don't like the "Slide down to answer" thing they have going on. I fear that I'll accidentally slide up and hang up on an important call. I'm quite clumsy and sometimes get my phone upside-down.
Either way would be awesome. I'm a noob at developing, So i def wouldn't be able to try to figure this out.

Thank you so much XDA Devs. You are awesome. And a BIG HELP.

that could be any of the Sense Froyo rom on the forum, there are quite a few of them, so check the Rom Bible for anything that's Sense related (so yes, it is compatible with our Slide). as far as the other questions, idk.

That rom would actually be one of the Gingerbread (2.3.3) Roms with HTC Sense. there's 2 currently floating around right now Cha Cha Slide, which the DEV is taking a bit of a break from I believe and Salsa Slide which is really the only Rom, besides CM7, being actively devved for the Slide right now.
I would recommend it very highly, there's a couple of small bugs but it's an absolutely beautiful and awesome Rom! Good luck! And hit the thanks button if someone helps you out around the forums!

No that's the Froyo version in the picture. The Gingerbread version doesn't have the little plus sign on the launcher by the phone button.

Am I alone in this??

Ok, so I sat around for a long time thinking about how I could get a sense 3.0 lockscreen without rooting (before rooting obviously). I thought 3.0+ was so incredibly amazing before I really dove into it all. Now here I am, wishing we could get the 2.1 lockscreen (which I like so much more) on more ROMs. I'd run 2.1 ROMs but I found through rooting that I like so many features of higher sense versions better, but want 2.1 back.
For instance, I like the 3.5 dialer and mms stuff, as well, as the 3.0 weather over the 3.5 version.... I also don't mind the 2.1 Rosie, but hate the overscroll. I love the 2.1 lockscreen, but can't have that and the features of others as well. Is it possible at all to make it happen? If so, I wanna look at making it work.
Am I the only one who's picky about sense ROMs like this?? Lol

certain things can be ported, just needs refinement
ie sense 2.1 lockscreen on a sense 3.0 rom (in this case tsm trinity)
the lockscreen works, just it would have to be hacked up to change resource ids to fix mismatches (in this case the music control buttons)

really depends how heavily a particular apk is tied into the framework on the particular sense version, and what its dependencies are

Yea, the idea of a mashup rom is cool. I'd like to see the sense 3.5 music and camera apps backported to 2.1. If it is as difficult as it sounds, it's not likely to happen, but that would be awesome. Cause sense 2.1 is the most stable on our phones atm, so using it as a base ensures stability. But I miss 3.0 and 3.5.

I would love something like this. I love the Sense 3.0 and 3.5 goodness but am currently running an AOSP ROM because anything higher than 2.1 chokes my phone.

In a few months we will get an update. We will probably get sense 3.5.
You are picky, IDK if you will find a Rom with all that. But I stick with stock because of the amazing camera quality. I'm still searching for the perfict ROM though.

I agree completely. I love the sense 2.1 lockscreen. It is simple and looks.really good. I agree a mashup Rom would be nice.
I think this should be your first project lol.

Keyboard color

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't like the color of the new keyboard. It would be great if someone would make a mod to change the color of the keyboard. If I knew how I would, but I'm rather new to the Android modding world.

Choose a different theme. You can already change the keyboard color.
EDIT: In the Personalize Menu.

However, that is dependent on the theme that is active.

YES that is correct, but then you have to use that particular theme. What I would like to do is change the color of the keyboard and keep the default HTC theme.

Go to https://themes.htc.com/ and make your own theme. When making it with maker pro you can set your own keyboard color!

Or you can install a third-party keyboard app like SwiftKey which supports lots of themes too and provides efficient typing. One thing I like about SwiftKey is the simultaneous support for up to 3 languages without having to switch.

It seems a bit of a chew to have to create a whole new theme just to change the keyboard colour. I cannot see how to just copy the default into a new theme and then just change the tiny bits I want to ... any ideas/suggestions on this ? (whilst on the one hand I applaud the ability to create some really detailed theming for those that want to, it does seem to have made what should be a very quick config thing way more complex than it needs to be).
