Some stock/motorola applications on htc hero

Is there a way to get for example the normal text messaging or music apps to work on the htc hero? Or the motorola messaging app (with the facebook inbox and stuff) to work on it? i went through all the possible roms today and loved the motorola messaging app. i also loved the stock android one too. also if its possible to change the default phone app? and maybe the contacts? i love everything else about the phone. haha. i know some people will be like why did you get a hero? well i really like those apps alot and i love my hero for every other reason. i do know how to use adb and everything. i have tried removing the stock messaging app and putting the stock android one and it doesnt appear. anyone got an idea?

do you have the motorola apps? I would like to test these on Hero.

I have them and would gladly post some, but there is an .odex file to go along with it. if u want to deodexize i think tis called the file then ill gladly post them for you. i just don't fully understand how to do that. i do however have the stock android apps without the .odex in them and it still does not work on the hero after removing the defualt messaging app. anyone got an thoughts onto how to do this? it would be great to have a htc hero mixed with motoblur rom.

That would be awesome! I would atleast like the Happenings app/widget from blur. =)

[Q] sense contacts app on cyanogenmod 6?

i've just flashed cyan6 after using opendesire sense for a while and really like it but miss the sense contacts and dialer app.
i really like the way the sense linked up contacts between facebook and google and i like the dialer better, particularly the t9 contact search
anyone have any ideas? i'll post my findings here as i go through the options
so far i tried dialer one for the t9 but didnt really like the ui, thought it was fugly

I`m also in similiar position with Hero :|

Try "Dialer One" app from the market.

Just stumbled on this : http://www.appbrain.com/app/youlu-address-book/com.youlu
Very slick UI, fast and it seems it will get updated more, since its out only since couple days. Im even trying it out on a Sense ROM ;P

You cant have sense contact app on a non sense ROM
Because it requires the sense frameworks..!!
So try some alternative app like the one suggested above..

No, not without installing HTC Sense first. You're probably better off with a Sense ROM like LeeDroids.

Try LauncherPro - If you like it, unlock the Plus features ($2.99)
The plus features have widgets that look and act like the Sense widgets, including:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Friends (Like FriendStream)
- Messaging
- People
- Bookmarks
It's great. And there are mods, so if you want to there's the possibility of making the widgets transparent, blue and so on.

I am not interested in all HTC Widgets. After reading different reviews I came to know that it eats battery and memory. However, I really liked the way HTC manages the Contacts. Mulitple social accounts linked at one place. I tried to find some decent app for that but didn't like any.

Use SuperVillian ROM.

Sence ROM to Stock Android....what to expect ?

Im thinking about flashing from a Sence ROM (leedroid 2.2) to a Stock Android one....what can I expect ? What apps wont be in the Stock Android and stuff like that

Anything Sense related (apps and widgets) won't be there

HTC Sync wont work (if you use that)

- Bluetooth FTP. Alternative must be downloaded from the market;
- Gallery 3D has worst picture quality, specially when zooming;
- Android dialer doesn't have smart dialing. Dialer One is an alternative;

Or Youlu adress book.
You also wont get Facebook birthdays in your calendar, there's an alternative to use EboBirthday which can sync your friends birthdays to a calendar created in Google Calendar.

I've found it to be faster, and you get more internal space due to a lot of the HTC stuff not being there (but with Apps2SD that's not so much of a consideration) Think I prefer vanilla now

Mail app

So I like using the stock mail app but it seems that after a day it DELETES any email. Is there a easy way to fix this? Or do I need to switch to another mail app? If so could I please get a few suggestions? Also I'm currently not rooted.
Thanks

Pick # of days or # of emails.

I had an issue with the Mail app where it would constantly get stuck syncing my Exchange email, when nothing changed. It would kill the battery when it got stuck doing that. I would try killing the sync, and it would just start again and again... So I paid $3.99 for Enhanced EMail from the Market. Works great!

Sense Email for Exchange works perfectly
I have also purchased the Enhanced Email for my DINC, but the only time I have to use it is when I'm using a GB rom. It works pretty well, but there are no scrolling widgets available for it. The stock GB email client is missing the 'search' function (I'm not sure how the Google folks neglected this key piece of business-class functionality in the GingerBread Release).
When I am using a FROYO rom on the DINC (Sky Raider 4.0 is the very best in my opinion), the Sense Exchange Mail client should be rock solid and has one of the very best widgets available on the market. The problems you are experiencing might be the rom you are using, because it works flawlessly on the SkyRaider 4.0 Rom with Sense 2.0.
