Htc Sense alternatives? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you please suggest me an other launcher that can do all sense's sync abilities?
Because i want to flash no sense roms. But others' launchers can't sync contacts like sense... Example, sense contacts note the people's facebook or others ID numbers in google contacts list. Then when you flashed some other rom, it can completely renew all of your contacts basically.
I have already now syncing people like, facebook, Twitter, foursquare, Skype, tango, what'sup msg ext...
Is there any application that can do all basically?
(I hate to install any contacts application to change my own. I'm searching all in one roms)
Thank you for all...

What people tend to do is use the google sync to sync the contacts. For the rest you'll need to download the apps to sync the other services.
There are some apps that have several in one. For example imo messenger (not sure if it's that one) has msn, skype and several others.
What you could do is go into the market, search for facebook for example, and read the description of the other apps. Some of them will sync facebook and twitter.
Regarding the roms, there will be a seperate file to download called google apps which is for no sense roms. They are usually listed in the op.
Not sure if there is a single rom that does what you want. There is a reason it's a no sense rom.

?
why is there so amny sesnse stuff?

if you want a rom that does it all for you , you should use a sense one and stay on it cz aosp roms you must do everything by yourself, its just pure android as google release it

Sense is hard to replace, now I'm using a custom ics rom, with standard launcher plus beautiful widget and pure messenger that are good apps but aren't free.

Facebook Sync question

Hello all,
i'm running root with leedroid 1.7.
now i've used facebook on i believe defrost and i had some great sync options like, sync current contacts, which I'd like as to be honest a lot of my friends on fb are through a sport I play and we don't speak outside of the sport, so I don't need everyone listed in my phonebook.
the default facebook app in sense and the one on the market both have either sync or don't sync.
Is there a special fb apk I can use, or is this a strange sense limitation. I have twitter running too and I have the options I mentioned, but not for facebook.
TIA
Luke.

[Q] Minimalistic ROM for HTC Desire

Hello,
I've searched the forum but couldn't find a rom that satisfies my minimalistic needs.
I don't need HTC Sense
I don't need facebook, footprints, friend stream, google search, gmail, news and weather, peep, twitter, stocks, talk and voice search.
Just need a phone that can sync with my google account, all other applications should be optional (may be installed later if needed)
Is there any froyo based minimalistic ROM like that? Or do I have to cook one for myself (I don't know how to cook a rom)
Thanks.

If you remove sense you loose all the sense widgets.
BUT!
Go on OpenDesire!!!! and test it (you just loose FM Radio).
Else wait for a Rom without Sense. or try Spartan (as i remember)
That would be really something.

[Q] Linking contacts in AOSP roms (like Sense does Google/FB/Twitter/etc)?

Ive been trying all the various roms available, and have decided upon Oxygen 2.0.3 (now 2.1), but there is only the one small niggle that i miss from Sense.
This is the contact linking it does. Fair enough it has linked some of my contacts correctly, but in sense, i could also manually link a Facebook contact to a Google contact, etc, is this possible in these AOSP roms ?
Regards

[Q]Sync help required on cm7

Hi everyone,
I was using andriod 2.3.3 premium features on Wildfire S A510e handset. I was really happy seeing freinds photo with syncronised link in handset of gmail account and facebook account . Now after installing cm7, i am feeling very bad to see that I am unable to link with syn contacts of facebook or google accounts. Please help.
Search for GO Contacts EX in Market, it has similar
features like People app in Sense roms.
I also searched for similar app for cm7, that's the closest one I found.
wrong post, sorree
Also look up syncmypix. Gives you higher quality facebook pics and actually embeds them in your google contacts so you have them on the computer, and they look decent on call display etc...
It compliments Go Contacts Ex which I also use.

[Q] Facebook sync

Hi,
i feel a bit like a noob but i can't seem to find the answer...
The setting:
Unlocked international One X, rooted (via htc dev), Clockwork Mod. Previously using MaXimus 6.0 (so with sense, and "facebook for sense")
Wanted 4.2.1 so used that rom > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013506
The problem:
My contacts don't sync with facebook
- Facebook freshly installed (and re-installed) and up to date
- account set-up
- facebook contact synchronisation activated (and proceeded without any error) and appearing in contact app
Avatar only showing default or google account pic, no facebook picture.
What am i missing here?
Thanks
try removing the account and relog in
Already tried to:
- uninstall then reinstall Facebook app.
- deleting and recreating Facebook account
- disabling and re-enabling Facebook contact sync
No progress so far.

Did you try HaxSync from PlayStore?

Is that a sense rom?

No, it's AOSP. So there is no, like in Sense Roms, straight syncing in pure Android OS with Facebook...

What's the point of Facebook contact synch then?
Synching Facebook stored contact infos, just not the profile pic?

For AOSP based ROMs (CM, AOKP, etc) HaxSync app is the viable solution and it is quite good, pictures (highres), events, calenda.
