I was trying to put the camera app from htc's stock sense, but it didn't work. I'm sure y'all already knew it would fail. But why didn't it work? What are the differences? If I took the camera app from a sense running jellybean would it work. Just trying to understand it. Thanks for yall's time and hard work on here

sense apps would only work with sense ui
that's the whole point no other ui can make it work

That is true ultimately. The HTC camera app depends on many things from the stock software, which the jb based ones doesn't have. This includes possibly drivers, routines, other softwares from the sense ui.
Sadly this is it, if you are an expert in this, there is a chance to port the htc camera app to "basic" android, but I don't really think it is possible without the actual sources.

I wood really like a rom which is just plain android (no htc sense ui). As I would like to use launcher pro beta as my home. Or even better a method of removing sense ui from stock rom.
Thanks

I would suggest you try one of the Froyo roms if you are wanting a rom without sense ui.

why would you want a nexus one :s its an ugly desire with less ram
In retrospect, i would probably have chosen the nexus too, just for the quicker release of OTA updates from Google. But with this in mind, and when the Desire officially receives the Froyo update, wouldn't updates be released quicker through HTC if they get rid of sense ui?...

I hate sense to. Its the stupiest of all home screen. But installing anything else means rooting which I dont like just now.
It is impossible to use any ROM except the stock ROM on a non-rooted desire.

Wow, why get a phone with Sense if you're going to complain?
Try out adw launcher or the stock Nexus One launcher us available for download as well. You do lose all things Sense if you use it though.

Check out nimbu.amorvi.com
I found the stock launcher here and installed it on my Desire and used it with no problems, you can also find the really cool gallery app from the Nexus One here which has some really cool features that I wish HTC hadn't taken out ie date/location grouping.

I don't hate sense. I do hate the sense homescreen which i have replaced by launcherpro. But the facebook integration and the interface changes do make an addition imo! It could be smoother though ,hope that changes in 2.2
Hey !
I am running a custom ROM by Cyanogen on my HTC Desire. I have tried several applications for using the camera but none even come close to the Sense Camera App which is present in the factory ROM.
Where can I get it back from ? And how do I install it ?
I've tried installing the apk on several non sense roms and it just wont work. I don't think its possible

That's disheartening to hear! I might just consider switching to the original rom if there isn't a way to install it on cyanogen

You won't be able to run a Sense app (in this case HTC Camera) on an AOSP ROM.
The Sense app relies on Sense libs which are copyright protected and belongs to HTC. That's why none ASOP ROM uses HTC Camera (as they don't include the required libs). Also to make it work on a ROM which does not include the Sense libs, this would requires patches, or a port of the required libraries which is, if not impossible, at least very difficult.
Personnaly, I do prefer AOSP ROMs (and finally ended with Oxygen) as I prefer the advantages of these ROMs compared to Sense ones. I do occasionnaly use other application to take photos and I can live without the HTC camera app (which I must recognize is quite good).
Damn it! Well anyway thanks for your help.
Btw can u suggest a camera app which is good enough? The stock android camera sucks donkey balls and camera 360 is not that great either.

Hi, I have an idea about a ROM wat has Sense 4, but it has addition from Sense 3.6. How many would be interested in this ROM?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Honestly that's like saying you have an idea for an apple that's going to taste like an orange. It might be possible but will take a ton of work. The two are so different on the surface and under the hood.
Sent from somewhere using something on some kind of phone.
additions, for example? the HOX is my first sense device so I don't know features of previous senses.
For example= sounds, wallpapers and other things. I did these things before on Desire Z, and it worked. So why not try?

Look over ur post.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
For all the work required would it not just be easier to create a zip for all the wallpapers, sounds etc and provide them for people to download to their own devices?
Sounds and wallpapers are relatively simple. You can add your own sounds and wallpapers to most android phones, so all you would need to is find the Sense 3.6 ones.
If you want to bring widgets or apps across, that requires a bit more work.
EDIT:
Both of these dont really need a new ROM to be created, you just need the individual files or apk's for what you want to add.
What I really miss however is the HTC Reader app from previous versions. It is sadly omitted in Sense 4.0

then show me how to read an saved ebook on Google Reader ...Aldiko is not as nice or as integrated as an alternative. And with Google Books you cannot read your saved ebooks on the sd card
I'm gonna start work on DualSense (propably ROM's name) tomorrow. The worst thing is that se don't have 720x1280 Sense 3.6, so I need to rescale if ppl wants apps from Sense 3.6.
There's the Rezound leak.

I was just wondering if there is any work in progress to port the stock camera to Jelly Bean? I guess few people miss the sense per se but the camera app was really great!
no actually sense camera is only compatible with its kernel driver so , thats not possible!!
Here's a good replacement for stock camera if you miss all effects and all

Oh, thanks for the recommendation. Actually, I had found this app before your post and I like it. However, I noticed it switchess off after some shots on my device..

I didn't realize that Sense is so far away from the original Android. Used to think it was just a launcher, a different app for setings and some widgets...
Is this possible? Been running cyanogenmod for a few months as I was stuck on a Vodafone UK cid, have recently been able to flash 1.36 hboot and am currently running mike1986's jb Rom, its a hood fast Rom but after using stock android for a few months I think I no longer like sense.. in fact I think I no longer like what HTC have done to jb,.. I'm going to switch back to stock in but one thing HTC have done right is the burst camera.. is it possible to have it on a non sense rom?
No, the camera from Sense ROMs can only run on Sense framework. I would love to have it too, but it's just not possible.

Some of it almost like sense's camera.
Just keep trying..
