Looking to move from useless UK retail froyo to CM7 but have a few q's I can't find the answers for.
CM7 does have the HTC exchange app doesn't it so I can collect exchange work emails from what I understand. Does this mean that my work calendar won't be sync'd like it is with with the moto calendar?
What is the difference from flashing cm7 over uk froyo vs nordic froyo bar that's what it's tested on?

I'm using CM7 at the moment - and syncing with Outlook for my contacts, calendar and emails is a must. I'm doing it fine in CM7
I've no idea though on the difference in Froyo ROMs, although I'm not sure the Froyo ROM I used was Nordic - I used the one from the guide here
Wicked, making a nandroid now so will flash up cm7
cheers
All sorted happily running cm7 and exchange email, calendar, contacts all sync wonderfully

Hi all
I am sure this has been done to death, and I have searched, but keep twisting myself around and around.
I recently installed CyanogenMod 6.0.2 with LauncherPro Plus and really like it, but I do miss some of the Sense stuff and, as such, am considering heading back to a Sense based ROM...at least for now.
That said, I much prefer the way that Cyanogen deals with Syncing Google, Twitter and Facebook Contacts. I think it is the Facebook and Twitter for HTC Sense that cause my pain..as I can't setup a standard facebook/twitter sync option.
Does anyone have a ROM recommendation for Sense based, but without these apps installed? So I can sync my contacts etc like I can in Cyanogen?
Cheers
As i still have battery-drain-problems with Froyo-Galaxy-Email.apk (AOSP-Froyo Email.apk v. 2.2.1 and older also) when setting Exchange-Sync not to "Push" i'm wondering if it's possible to use the Gingerbread-AOSP-Email.apk on Froyo.
Has it been tested by anyone yet?

can you please post AOSP Email.apk 2.2.1 for JPU?
I have only 2.2 AOSP Email, which is constantly draining CPU...
Thank you very much.
aosp email 2.2.1 is also draining battery as 2.2...
i hope with gingerbread it's fixed.
you can get latest froyo-email here:

AOSP Email 2.2.1
Did anyone else notice in 2.2.1 from 2.2 that the ability to customize the color per mailbox disappeared? I really find that useful since it decides to make 2 of my accounts nearly the exact same color. And it's always the 2 that get the most email.
Am I missing a setting?
Replying to reactivate this thread. Having the same probs here.. Isn't there a better email client? The old 2.1 one had more functionality
Hey all!
Have finally rooted my Desire and installed Ginger Villain on it.
Have played about quite a bit, and searched the forum but there are 2 things I cannot seem to work out with it.
Ok... 1 is that when connecting headphones with a Mic, (the only ones I have tried are the Monster Dre Dre Beats Control talk)... i can hear people but the volume / answer controls dont work and neither does the mic. When rolled back to the standard 2.2 rom on my desire, all works fine (the icon shows a headset with mic, etc and all controls work).
Also.. does anyone know if there are any plans to include a good full page calender widget? The Sense 2.2 one is awesome, showing a full day's agenda etc, but the smooth calendar, when installed doesnt give the widget option on the GV rom, but does on the 2.2 stock?
Currently running GINGERVillain 0.8.
Thanks!
Kev
Hi there,
In response to the calender question, I'm running GV 0.8 and use Jorte (free download from market). This has a very good full page widget (there are many options available). Took a little while to get used to it after Sense but now I prefer it.
Just noticed too my Villain Setup is advertising V0.9 is available (90mb).
Will try the Calender - thanks!
LauncherPro has a pretty good full page calendar widget that you can also switch to agenda view.
Swyped from my HTC Desire
Cheers guys - Yep Im aware of the Launcher Pro one, but am using ADW at the moment, and Jorte is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks
Just flashed to Skyraider Athena 1.2. build 3.26.605.1 to compare it to Uber Z. So far, so good on standard and installed apps.
Two issues I've detected:
1) Noticed that I cannot do "pinch to zoom" on my Gmail messages. Is that a limitation in this build? Or did I miss a setup step??
2) Emails do not load images automatically -- have to select "show pictures" which is kinda annoying. Any way to set this to happen automagically?
Thanks. I'm learning quite alot on this forum as a newbie...
1). I have noticed that, and I don't remember being able to do this in Gmail. I tried it with CM7 RC1, and no pinch to zoom.
2). I've noticed the sure pictures thing in many of the ROM's I've flashed, so I am pretty sure it is a Gmail thing. Not sure if that can be changed, I don't think it can...
Sent from my Inc
What you're describing seems to be the normal behavior of the GMail app itself. It's worked that way for me in Uber Z, the IncDoes Z port, Athena, Skyraider Sense, and Virtuous.
Both work exactly the same on my Athena build, so that might help rule out user-error. I think it's working as designed.
Skyraider Athena & email issues
Thanks for all the replies to confirm the situation with email client within SkyRaider Athena. Question: would another email client solve this situation (if one exists)? Any recommendations?
BTW, I don't recall having these issues with Uber Z, but then again I think it had a diff email client.
Thanks again.
The other app I use is Enhanced Email, and I've noticed that it does the same two things as stated in the OP. I use it for my Exchange email, and just tried it to no avail.
Hi all, looking for some advice before i root my Z (it's feeling a bit sluggish, so want to OC it)
I use HTC locations alot for the offline navigation. Do the stock (ish) sense ROMs have HTC locations enabled/working?
Also do any sense ROM's sync properly with HTC sense. I have paid a subscription for voice guided navigation (which i assume authenticates using the HTC sense interface - correct me if im wrong). If i flash a sense ROM will my subscription still be active once i sync my HTC sense account?
Lastly... i know HTC is planning to release a gingerbread update by the end of June. Will the devs (god bless them) get a rooted version of this out with HTC locations and sense syncing working soon after release.
Thanks for your time and advice
You can root and overclock, and still stay on the stock ROM. You don't need to go to a custom ROM, unless that is what you are looking to do. I've used the Godspeed kernel with the stock 1.34 ROM with good results. Everything on the stock ROM remains intact, it just opens up the CPU clock options.
As far as your question on Locations working on custom ROMs, every custom ROM is different, so that is too vague a question. What ROM in particular are you looking at? I've tried Virtuous (which is "stockish" as you mentioned), and Locations works fine.
Access to the Sense account is via email address and your Sense password, so that should be easy to migrate (if you switch ROMs). I haven't had any issues going between ROMs and being able to login to my Sense account. I don't use the paid navigation. But I would think that is linked to your Sense account the same way.
As far as a rooted version of the upcoming Gingerbread (with Sense) update, you'll have to wait and see what happens (like everybody else!). A rooted version will probably be available. And everything working is pretty likely too, but we won't know what the developers will run into until it actually happens. I think you would need a crystal ball to be able to know any more than that.
Thanks mate. I should have poked around the dev section more before posting this. Looks like everything is working on Virtuous Sense
