I am curently running a Rom that I can't get to work right. The major features that I like are the lockscreen and the camera.
Is it possible to extract the .apk from the current Rom and a) install the apk on a new Rom, or b) create a flashable zip with the apk's, or c) insert/replace the apk's into the new Rom before flashing?

I don't think it's possible for the lockscreen since I'm pretty sure that's not an apk. It may be possible for camera, but I'm not sure. I'll let some smarter people weigh in on that.
It would probably help if you said the ROM you're running (the one that has the camera and lock screen that you like) and maybe even the ROM you're switching to. That way, even if it's not possible, people can still recommend some alternatives.
After further research, theoretically its possible. There is sense 3.0 lockscreen and camera apk's pulled from the EVO, but I don't know if they work on the DINC yet. What I'm wondering now is if I pull the apk from my 2.1/3.0 sense Rom that I'm on now, will it work on the Stock plus (2.1) Rom.

I'm on Inc2McTwist. Just didn't want to make Oomcdoo or anyone else mad if I was talking about taking stuff from his ROM to customize my phone. I really like his black themed lock ring, and the sense 3.0 camera has more features, is easier to use and in my opinion takes better pictures than the stock DINC camera.

it is possible but:
You would need to edit the framework-res.apk and com.htc. resource.apk to make the camera and lock screen work from a 3.0 to a 2.1 rom. its not as simple as installing the apk. with sense everything is tied together. sorry. :/
That's what I was afraid of. I was maybe hoping I could extract what I needed. Wish I knew how to dev ;-(

I guess I'll have to use something like Agile Lock. And wait until someone makes it easier to get the updated camera ported to our dinc.

Hey y'all! I did a whole guide of using the Vanilla MMS app on HTC Sense, it was a SUCCESS! Soo now, I was wondering if someone could see if the DIALER on the Vanilla ROM can work with the HTC Sense ROM.
So basically, I am needing someone to Extract the Vanilla (or other ROM) Dialer and put it on the Sense UI ROM. Somehow, my phone has different settings, so I can do this myself.
If you find out, please provide the APK and a guide if possible!!
This should be fairly easy and possible. Should be just like porting the MMS on Vanilla to HTC Sense! I need testers! Thanks guys!
Hope you like my guide on Vanilla MMS on HTC Sense! thanks all!
PS. Is it possible for Vanilla Gallery to work on Sense UI? I will be testing this tomorrow, also, I will keep this thread updated! Thanks!!
Also, if anyone has CM and whatever kinds of ROMS out there, If they can post their Dialer.apk's or apk's related to dialers/phones that would be AWESOME thanks!
Anyone know how to BOLD the Title? I kinda FAILED at it! hhahah thanks guys!
I will test anything you want i HATE the sense dialer!

I can't remember now, but a while ago I used the contacts.apk and phone.apk from an aosp rom (don't remember which one) on a sense rom (not sure which one either, maybe it was Tainted Vanilla).
You can try ripping those apks from and eclair (not froyo) rom and seeing if they work, or download the old Tainted Vanilla rom (maybe even one of the new ones) and see which dialer they use.

maybe rip the contacts.apk and phone.apk from CyanogenMod-6.1 for Vision :: V6.1.0-RC2 and give that a shot.
btw: you can download the rom, un-zip them and navigate to system/app/ and grab the apk's from there, That is what I did for the vanilla Mms.apk
thanks Wheeliest! You never disappoint me! hah
Also, if anyone has CM and whatever kinds of ROMS out there, If they can post their Dialer.apk's or apk's related to dialers/phones that would be AWESOME thanks!

Cool! thanks for the support guys! A little mistake I did.. i didn't copy the Contacts.apk haha soo if someone can copy that and maybe the lib file like shortlived says! thanks guys! lets make this into a reality!
edited because i found my mistake....also any luck?
Here is what ive gotten to work so far... I found a replacement dialer here http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/59459-replace-htc-dialer-dialerone-vanilla-clone.html
Download that file there then take these steps
1. change file name to com.android.htcdialer.apk
2. get your phone into recovery and mount the /system
3. adb push com.android.htcdialer.apk /system/app/
4. restart phone and your good to go.
be warned this does not get you the stock dialer. This is a clone type app which does look very similar but it has a few bugs. the main ones being it still uses the htc contacts app to add info and whatnot. i will play with this some more and see if i can't get it to work better by changing over the contacts.apk however I see a LOT of things all tied together with sense so i'm not sure how much more we will be able to do. it might be eaiser to just make a better clock/weather/animations and drop the sense ui all together.
My god.
["b] initiates the bold and ["/b] terminates it. (get rid of the " when ur acutally doing it)

Hi guys.
So... Example
If i want to install LeeDroid 2.4 but before so i want to delete all the sense apps and other unwanted apps and install ADW Launcher, would i just put the ADWlauncher.apk file along with others in System\apps? because i have tried and it doesn't work. any idea why?
Correct, you might have deleted some dependencies for other apks during the process though.

Thanks, one other thing if i delete HTC Sense and put ADW in its place should it install and start ok with ADW Launcher?
If you delete the Rosie.apk I don't think you'll be able to use the SenseUI widgets, if you want to remove Sense why don't you just use a stock AOSP ROM?

I was really using LeeDroid as an example, it would probably be iNsertCoin as i want the HD Sense benefits like the test magnifying glass function and the small text, other things that dont come to mind lol. So basically an HD Sense base but with a gingerbread "feel" or theme.
I dont want to RCmix desensinzed because i think its a bit messy
You know LeeDroid 2.4 has a No-Sense patch?

Anyone have a .zip file to enable that to any 2.3 Rom please need help????!!!
Thanks!!!!
It isnt something you can just flash. Its built into 2.3. If your rom doesnt have it, then maybe its not 2.3.
It's the Rom[5.22.11] eVoLVeD RoM SHiFTeD
RC oNe "aLieNiZeD" the android version is 2.3
Then you should post this in the thread for that rom.
I also did that just thought someone had a universal 2.3 zip I would really appreciate the help
Again, there is no flashable "universal" zip for that effect. It's built into every gingerbread rom. If your rom doesnt have it, then the dev took it out for some reason, and only he can put it back for you.
The sense gingerbread roms don't have it because it didn't come with the leaked 2.3
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a universal flashable zip. So unless you want to go with a CM or AOSP rom, you're basically out of luck for the moment.
To Clarify: it is most definitely not in every gingerbread rom by default.
Screen Off and Lock by Katecca
app that's free on the market and has that effect. think it's labeled "old tv", but there some other cool ones as well. Hope that's what you're looking for...

Edit /system/customize/cdi/default.xml Should see something like this:
<BootConfiguration> <BootAnimaztion animation="/system/customize/resource//spc_bootanimation.zip" audio="" /> </BootConfiguration
Just need to add the location of the mp3 you want to use where it says : audio=""
Make sure to keep the " before and after .
Since there is no thread regarding this mod, and since i wanted it for myself so badly, after busting Flemmard's balls for about 2 hours I managed to make it
It simply makes the launcher go to landscape without the need to slide the keyboard out.
This has only been tested on Virtuous Sense 2.0.0
Very cool. If I used rosie I would use this.
Am at work so cannot test this myself, but does anyone know if this will also break the lockscreen options menu on the Sense 3.0 lockscreen?
Yes it probably will. The lockscreen will still work but you won't have the options to change it.

Has been working for me great all this time. It started "breaking" this morning though, after i installed the sense 3.0 lockscreen. The thing is that rosie gets fubar sometimes on its own will, when exiting a landscape game for example...

thanks for answer but I am new in android world and I am not shure what means flashable version. Does that mean that I have to download the Rotating_Rosie.zip file and apply it with ROM Manager as I would install new ROM? Is there any chance ob bricking the divice or being stuck in boot loop when doing this?

There is all ways a risk flashing mods. But as long as you use the mod on the correct Rom you will normally be fine.
To apply the rotating_rosie.zip you need to flash in recovery. You can use Rom manager. But I would suggest that you learn how to use CWM recovery to get full manual control over your device.

I want to flash the "Stock Messaging App" from the "Sidekick 4G Stock Rom". Can I flash this? I really like the UI of the messaging app, and I would love to use it on my phone. Considering it is a apk in general, I'm still unsure because it runs on a different framework. Can someone help me with these questions. Is it possible to flash it? Can someone help me?
Phone: T-Mobile G2 - HTC Desire Z
System: MIUI 1.9.23 by OsiMood
Flashed: Extended Setting and Superuser Beta 3.0
Thanks you guys! I expect good answers considering XDA-Developers is the best place for these types of questions!

Hmm, not sure if this would work. I haven't flashed apps from other phones, but I guess you could make nandroid backup and then sideload it. If it starts freaking out, just restore your nandroid. My guess is that the app will just force close on you.

Don't think it'll work like you said different frameworks. If they were the same you could just copy the .apk to your G2, and open it with a file explorer and install.
Since they're different theres some converting to do I'm sure...
