Espresso Dialer on 2.1 Leak Possible?

Hello guys and gals.
With all the fun/madness of the last 24hrs or so on here I think I've tried all the new 2.1 roms BUT I cant get the HtcDialer.apk from the old Espresso rom working with any. Its a much better dialer imo.
I think it has something to do with the Eris leak roms having .odex files and the Espresso not but cant be sure. Is anyone more clued up on this able to shed any light if a port is possible?
I'm pretty sure adwinp used it in his [email protected] 2.1 rom once and it worked fine...

definitely, I'm also waiting for something like this to come!, I was hoping to get the espresso look on the phone

I presume you've asked adwinp if he can assist? If not, might be worth a check. IIRC, apk files can be converted to odex files, but I'm not sure. More likely to be a compatibility problem that can be fixed in code IMHO.

So, is there a Froya build with HTC Sense?

I know there is a 2.1 Sense. That's what I'm running. But is there a way to have 2.2 with Sense?

not yet obviously.

you could try installing the android system monitor app ( cant rightly remember the exact name of the app, but thats close, just search the market- if u cant find it, lemme know, i'll post the .apk) and use it to backup all the sense related .apk's to your sd card, then install the 2.2 blazin or reference build and drop the apk's in your Android Apps folder of the "." build, then run the mjg droid utility n make sure theyre allchecked in menu/apps. Im not sayin it'll work, but its worth a shot. Lemme know if it works if u try it

Does anyone have a list of the Sense .apk's I will do a little searching. If I find anything I will post back.

Not 100% sure on this but why not get the sense apk's from the earlier builds? They are already rooted if I'm not mistaken so the only question remains is what folder will all the apk's be located (I can't remember). The next question remains is if it would work with the latest builds or not.

I have tried this already. As soon as the phone boots, Launcher2 quits. HTC Sense Launcher was not built for 2.2.
We will most likely have to wait till HTC releases a froyo phone with the Sense UI, for us to properly port it to our froyo builds.

Hasn't that already been done?

as far as i know you can not install any sense .apk's ona not sense build because they use a differnet framework.
so you would need a complete sense build in order to install any htc sense .apk's

there is a link for a desire sense apk.. which links to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5686103

There are a couple of releases for the HD2 that have the Desires system put into a system.ext2 file. Unfortunately this needs a newer kernel than we have available for our machines.

yall should reach out to Klinux. We originally released the 2.1 sense but ive been pre-occupied with kernel crap.
If anyone has the de-deoxed version of the 2.2 from the Evo, im sure klinux can figure out a way to get it to run.

i'm on it. Thanks ACL!!
EDIT:
I sent KLINUX a PM letting him know what we are up to. I will let you all know if I hear from him. In the meantime, I am looking into what it would take to get the sense apk's de-deoxed myself if possible.

Excellent. Keep us posted.

Question about root

i was just wondering if after i root i can still have the phone look as if it had sense ui... I assume that's what the Stock ROM does but I'd like to make sure.
Also is there a froyo theme that looks like the sense ui?
Thanks for the help in advance

Gaining root doesn't change the version of android you have running, it just gives you root access. For example, I have root access on my Evo, so I can use screenshot or wireless tether apps, but I'm still running the Sense UI that came with the phone.
To lose Sense UI, you would have to flash a new ROM onto the phone.

Oh I see! thank you!

new to incredible thread. Questions for you guys...

hello all. this is my first time ever setting foot in the incredible threads. im currently a roooted eris user, but recently upgrading to the incredible due to eris's limitations. i should be recieving one in the mail today hopefully. i have a few quick questions for you guys and im hoping i can get answers today or at least before i start rooting my phone.
1) can titanium backup restore all my apps + data and configurations, that were backed up on my eris without any issues?
2) which rom is the best so far? i was enjoying cm 6.0 port on my eris but i prefer sense now because im not much of a fan of stock vanilla look.
I do enjoy the 360 degree rotation and was wondering if anyone has created a sense based rom with that particular feature or does cyanogen have a monopoly on that one?
3) does metamorph work on the incredible? and are these roms available now currently themable
4) which is the most preferred kernel? ive read so far about hydra kernel and kingx, what are the advantages each have over the other
5) in case of a necessary warranty exchange attempt, is there an ota based ruu rom available to restore the original bootloader? in other words is it unrootable as of yet? (eris users are currently able to do this.)

Oh and i forgot to ask.
6) is the 2.2 ota released for upgrade or are the 2.2 roms available right now leaks?

1) Most likely not, while just restoring apps should work, apps+data may bring about problems because they are different phones. don't quote me tho. (My advice make a nandroid before you restore apps+data then if you get FC'cs you'll see something went wrong and can go back)
2) The most popular ROM on this forum seems to be Skyraider, it has both a sense and vanilla version. There are 3 more fairly popular ones on ROM manager, I advise you to test them all out they all have their own flair.
3) Yes, check out the theme's section for more info on that.
4) Both kernels work well, it's all a matter of what you're happiest with. I'm not sure of the specific differences of both tho, so maybe someone else can answer that.
5) If you use Unrevoked3 you can RUU back to stock yes. If you use Unrevoked forever (which is S-off) there is currently no way to get S-on. So you would just have to hope if you turned it in for warranty that the guy didnt check the bootloader.
6) Most 2.2 ROM's right now are based off a leak released here on 8/1/2010. There is no official 2.2 release for the Incredible.

Welcome to the Incredible Forums tho!

Hey Sharkie.
My understanding is that it's a LOT harder to try and port a different version of Sense to an EVO ROM than it is to just port another device's ROM with a newer version of Sense.
I could be wrong, though. There was a recent post on the Portal about this very topic, in fact. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222746

question
1. what is in the 4.24 ota that isnt in the other 8-9 2.1 roms in this thread
2. why would you want to find a way to port something we already have (sense 2.1/GB2.3.3)
3. Nice rom wheres the DL link? lmao

It isn't as simple as swapping out .apks or using a different kernel to get Sense 2.1 on the latest Evo OTA. It is deep in the framework. You would be way better off using a port.
I would suggest basing it on a stock HTC Speedy/Shift 4G port for Sense 2.1.
I know that leoisright had a stock stock Shift port with working 4G.
Evo 3D if you wanted Sense 3.0. Not sure who did it first and kept it stock.

very interested to know this as well, im much more newb than either of the prior posters, but it looks like your saying it will work, but you have to do a whole new rom/flashing right? not an apk or simple installation?

There has to be a way to upgrade sense using the stock EVO OTA. I'm curious as to why no one has tried it, even if it is labor intensive. Good luck trying, however, as I am also learning how to build my own Roms. I'm interested to see if you succeed.
