is there any way to get sense apps like the Music, camera, and phone onto vanlla phones or on cyanogen
I was hoping there was a way to get the dialer from a sense rom onto any stock rom. I actually may try that out later this week and see if it works (doubtful).
It requires sense framework for the Widgets as I've asked this before, as far as camera mods and what not I've seen that on vanilla roms but I'm sure there are geniuses that dwell on XDA that could figure it out.

Eventually, there will be hacked up ROMs with bits and pieces from every corner of the earth - I wanted the same thing on my Nexus (stock with the HTC cam) and there were a few options (though all had bugs here and there). Given the G2 was *just* permrooted, it might be a few weeks/months before you see some really creative ROMs.
Other stuff, like the lockscreen, can be changed with apps like widgetlocker and such.
You should definitely try out the Desire Z rom, though. It's all kinds of awesome, with new features that weren't there in previous versions of Sense. Hell, the camera app alone is worth it - makes the stock Android camera app look like a joke.
Sense apps have never and will never work on a non-sense based rom as it has far too much reliance on lots of frameworks (its a messy area).
The closest you will get is a rom like SuperVillain (out later today) that is a Sense based rom but with Rosie (Launcher) and widgets removed so looks like vanilla but still has all the sense apps working.
Keep an eye on villainrom.co.uk or the dev section here on xda for the rom release of SuperVillainZ

Enomther's TheOfficial has the option of both the HTC Camera and the HTC Music app - plus you can install the HTC IME (onscreen keyboard) easily as an APK (there's even a kitchen that lets you customize the colors and such).
Your sig claims you've owned 4 android phones. So you're obviously not a super noob. So my question to you is -
Did searching just not occur to you, or did you honestly believe you were not the 7,548th person to ask this question?
I am not asking about sense widgets because im aware that i need to have the sense framework running but im just wondering about the 2 apps Camera and Music. i know that enmothers rom gives you the option to install the 2 if you want and am just wondering if its possible to do the same for cyanogen.
also i have used the Sense Roms for the G2 but i was never really a fan of non Vanilla android.

A couple of apps may have been REBUILT to work without sense, but its not an easy job and certainly isn't something a lot of people have done.
the HTC IME keyboard was pretty much an entire rewrite of the code based on what the htc one looked like, its not the apk from sense just moved over.
I can't comment on the camera or music, but I imagine these are the same.

There has been a sense app ported to stock. Enom ported the HTC camera to his stock ROM for the Nexus... I remember running it.. That was a great ROM
Sorry, I see this has already been covered... But I know the app wasn't rewritten, it was a straight port, with the stock framework rewritten, so it was a straight app port

I really like the browser from sense, I use lpp for widgets so I'm good there. I asked about getting some sort of plug in for google translate onto vanilla browser and got nothing but flame. Hopefully gingie brings this to us... I mean is there any other plug ins other then flash? Honest question

Hello!
I'm currently running Oxygen's excellent Gingerbread 2.0 RC6 on my Desire. It's been fine, although I notice many of the visual enhancements don't currently work - like screen on/off animation etc. I also get the Oxygen loading screen hang frequently.
Now, I can put up with these things IF there is a way to get the Sense UI onto the device while running Gingerbread... I have no idea if this is even possible or not!
Can someone please advise? Is there a launcher ROM that can be flashed over the top of Gingerbread that will give me the Sense UI goodies while giving me the other benefits of GB? Or am I limited to waiting for a modified Sense-based 2.3 ROM rather than an AOSP one such as Oxygen?
Appreciate you advice and input

Thanks for your reply!
Totally agree. I had the updated oxygen ROM and missed some of the sense features. COME ON HTC give us gingerbread with sense 2!!
Get the full version of launcherpro which has sense style Widgets for your homescreens. Then get the sense theme for the launcherbar at the bottom of the screen. Looks exactly the same without having to flash a sense rom.

They said so, but is is reasonable to assume that DesireHD and Desire Z get it first, then we are next.
That however could take a lot of time, I read something about September at the earliest.
Someone correct me please if I'm wrong.
Desire Gingerbread is coming around June time. No specifics as to whether DesireHD and Z get it first but it says they are all on the same schedule as the Incredible S whereas Desire S and Wildfire S will ship with 2.3
source: engadget.com/2011/02/27/htc-incredible-s-desire-hd-desire-z-and-original-desire-will-a/
That could take a while, which is why some of us are installing Gingerbread Roms in the 1st place
Probably will especially if you have to wait for your relevant carrier to tinker with it first. That's why I flashed custom. May go to official HTC rom if/ when this is leaked just depends how slow it is compared to CM 7 unless of course it has sense 2 (crosses fingers)
I'm running CM7 RC1 with Honeycomb Alva v4 theme with ADW EX and I'm loving the look of honeycomb. I hope the brilliant devs that works hard for our free roms can work their magic on the SDK. I wish I could do it, I'm going to start reading up on it nut I never have time so I'd be a cack dev lol. but I must say I'm looking forward to seeing sense on a gingerbread rom!!!

^The same ROM has a Sense port theme using the same method as you installed the Honeycomb theme
It doesn't have the Sense widgets and functionality though, quite obviously.

Hi I have recently been trying to implement a rotating DHD Sense Launcher (From the desire z) into ReflexTsense by using a launcher posted in the DHD section, then from Cool Z based on the same framework and the launcher disappears from the list of launchers when i press Home! :S
I did this using ADB using the 'push' command as i knew that trying to install it as if it were an app would not work...so i have re-pushed the Launcher that came with the ROM, which works fine for now but how do i go about rotation?
P.s: i have tried RCmixHD 3.5 and i can't make phone calls with that ROM so don't even bother
Seems like your implementing and not porting. Don't to it unless your going to actually develop. You may as well just wait for official release.
Sent from CM7
Try using RCMixHD. One of the rotating ones will give you landscape Sense and they are very reliable. If you cant make calls you should probably change your radio version to something more stable.
check cool sense z rom. omes with this feauure
Hi, as above I would like to find out which is the best 2.3 Gingerbread ROM with Sense 3.0.
I have updated like probably most to the 2.3 Gingerbread OTA update but Sense 3.0 is missing and probably won't come from HTC seeing as they have stated 3.0 needs the hardware which the DHD isn't in their opinion. But as we know that's bull crap as the DHD can run Sense 3.0.
Just would like to get opinions from frequent ROM users and possibly devs as what's the best one to be looking at as I'm completely new to custom ROM's.

go with i00's true sense 3.0
very smooth sense 3.0 expierience
Can't believe senior members asks questions like this that may discriminate among the devs..(I have seen moderators discouraging members who asks the same sort of questions!!)
Any way there are only two sense 3.0 roms over xda... i00 and RCmix.... Shoot them one by one and you may find the best one for you.
well if you insist then... After using RCmix for a while, I flashed an i00, and is working as my daily driver.... no operational bugs so far...
Im stuck at the crossroad too.
What is the difference between i00 5.3 and rcmix Kingdom 0.2?

Tried both.. i00 boots up much faster runs smoother updates weather but doesnt recognize chinese korean japanese chracters..
kingdom boots a bit slower, meaning sticky on the scrolling in program but smoother on the sense
Hi thanks all, I appreciate the input as I'm new to ROM's I may have been here a while but have just stuck with stock.
Can anyone confirm do both the Kingdom and i00 ROM's have root access already? They both look excellent so I wasn't sure. I'm now looking at ROM's as the 2.3 update all us stock users had really is missing Sense 3.0 so these ROM's actually are better by the looks than what HTC themselves give us

Leedroid GB with latest kernel is extremely fast GB rom, and apply kingdom lockscreen for the extra 3.0 sense elements!
well i want to take part of this thread...
i tried many possibilities for have the sense 3.0 and finally like my signature says this is my super stable, beautiful & fast combination
really for me... lee bailey´s roms are totally awesome
EDIT:i used kingdom´s sense 3.0 (weather, mms, etc...)
lockscreen goes by default with kalagas theme

not true.. you can add sense 3.0 to your gb rom (only with pure framework like WEE 2.3xx) see kingdom thread in dev. secction

Can either the Kingdom or i00 rom be used for daily use yet?
Just I noticed some functionality like srs isn't working from the bug list. Just wondering which is the closest to perfection?
I have tried both, and the latest Kingdom release beats i00 hands down.
Kingdom's 'Android' widget ratios are just about spot on, so none-Sense widgets display correctly. This is a major issue on i00's, and the deal winner for me.
Very stable (no random reboots or f/c's), good battery life and fine for every day use. The autoinstall is an absolute must.
I tried Kingdom - gallery widget is out of line to the left, Twitter widget not working, other widgets far to small as its for a larger screen, video camera and sound is awful and not sure how that latter part can have optimization for DHD as certainly can't record 1080p on a DHD as it already struggles with 720p in stock.

i thought there were several sence 3 roms
I've tried i00, but switched back to MDJ's ViVO sense which is lightning fast and has almost all Sense 3.0 features.
any possibilty the sense 3.0 lockscreen and maybe other widgets/apps wil be ported to the htc hero touch g2?

not completly.. the 3.0 has live wallpaper thingy and weather service on there lockscreen.. thats what i ment for the htc hero
Umm.. It's really unlikely, we might be able to get some apps but I doubt it. Sense 3.0 OS very heavy on the CPU, I'll look into it though when I have the time.

Won't the libs and res be a bit awkward as well?
NO CHANCE
Guys if you want Sense 3.0 buy a new phone. The OS is to heavy for the little hero to run on. For the moment even Sense 2.1 runs like hell on the hero, imagine 3.0. If you guys wanna give a help with sense 2.1 find a way to reduce the number of home screens from 7 to 3 .
I'm guessing that you can do that under Sense, 'stefpaul'

sense 2.1 is fine LoL - HTC released it for the hero after all, it's plenty fast. try elelinux's 2.1 sense rom, it's outstanding. no need to cut down any resources.
but sense 2.2 and 2.3 are not running all that well - 2.3 just is barely fast enough when overclocked and still lags at times and certainly runs out of memory all the time on the hero. but it's at least usable if you're careful how you set it up.
3.0 ain't gonna happen. and honestly, 2.3 sense really ain't gonna happen either, not in a really smooth workable state. but I doubt that's jsut the fault of sense - AOSP and CM 2.3 roms also have huge memory requirements and big slowdowns and poor screen redraw speeds in some situations....
Wrong thread sorry. But I think this idea wouldn't be easy to implement.
Theres a brilliant facebook chat app with a great widget, I personally would love it if this could be ported. I wish i had the knowledge to at least try it myself
yes please port the facebook chat widget and more apps.
You know, Google is a great tool when you want to learn something. If you want stuff ported, why not try yourself?

<caveat>oh and by the way, in my previous post about sense versions I actually mean android versions containing sense, not the sense version numbers. Maybe the person I was replying to was listing sense version numbers, not android version numbers.... </caveat>

Sense 2.1 is android 2.3.3; Sense 3.0 is android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
Elelinux has a 1.5 Sense in a 2.1 version of android
