HTCFacebook.apk on Vanilla?

Im sorry i posted this originally in the Apps section got no bites so imma post it here ... please dont flame me lol
I am in no way a dev but i was just curious if this app can been run/ported to a vanilla android build?
I am currently running [ROM] YetiROM_Nexus_Inc (Vanilla 2.1)- stable with stock kernel ... I have tried pushing HTCFacebook.apk HTCFacebook.odex and FriendStream.apk to the /system/app via recovery caused a boot loop ... rm'd FriendStream.apk still boot loop ... rm'd HTCFacebook.apk and HTCFacebook.odex and phone booted fine... I knew it couldnt be that easy... are there other dependacies that HTC Sense apps need? Im guessing there is code inside the .apk that needs changed? Is this possible?

I am running Jager's 1.6.1 rom, and I pushed HtcFacebook.apk, HtcFacebook.odex, Friendstream.apk and Friendstream.odex to /system/app, and all is working fine with facebook sync on mine, with no ill side effects..... Just to let you know it DOES work that way.

hmmm ok i did not push the friendstream.odex originally ... ill give it another go ... thanks for the info!

the rom you are running still has alot of HTC stuff in it ... the one i am running has none... so im thinking there are other dependencies for HtcFacebook.apk to function ...

I was trying to get the HTC dialer running on yeti, but to no avail. I believe that some of the HTC apks need the sense launcher, not positive though.

yeah im not too sure its the sense launcher its looking for per se but there is definitly a dependency that the apps are looking for that arent there ... i posted this in Yeti's thread hopefully he has some ideas ... i may just start trying to copy over some more HTC stuff in the /system/app folder and see if i can get lucky lol

All of the htc ops and widgets are built to run only with sense. Only reason it still works on jager rom is because its still sense just all of the garbage is removed. None of the sense apps will work on a true vanilla rom or even a launcher running over sense (launcherpro etc.)

Correct - however I never had any facebook syncing issues when I was stock using LauncherPro. This only happens with other roms. I am trying lots to get it to work. Since you can have both facebook and HTCFacebook, maybe HTCFacebook does the syncing (using friendstream) and facebook (downloadable from market) just slaves the synced info from that.

HTCFacebook is the syncing i have yet to find a decent app that syncs facebooks contacts as well ... syncmypix is good but nothing like HTCfacebook ... and im coming from a Blackberry world where they do is great ... we get Yetis rom syncing contacts with facebook and its the best... i love vanilla android ... i have no clue why companies want to overlay there bloatware on top ... ie HTC Sense and MotoBlur

The syncing worked great on my motodroid. The thing is that the version of facebook available for download on market for incredible is downloading on top of HTCFacebook, so in essence you are really using both (this in stock incredible). I'm sure as more roms become available, since we are in early stages of custom roms, that this will be addressed.

There is a tutorial on how to fix this at droidsp0t.com

That tutorial is for yager rom which still has alot of sense on it and i would imagine those steps would work for most of the roms out there that still have sense i actually tried doing that with Yeti's rom and it caused a boot loop ... im talking about trying to get facebook to sync properly with "vanilla" android ie no sense at all

Sense dialer

Hello, I've been messing about with different roms for a while, and particularly like the 2.3 Roms, but miss the sense dialler, would love to have the apk for it and install it with a 2.3 build.

Cancel, I have just extracted it from a sense rom, having a bit of a dim evening.

ummm - so how did you do it then? I've got as far as finding the htcdialer apk but installation fails. Does it need to be installed in a different way or alongside other stuff?
Thanks,
Jon

HTC Desire Official Gingerbread Sense ROM (some edited)

i have light edited a ROM, from the Official Gingerbread Sense 2.1 from Neophytex360
i would make eith other members a installable ROM for the Desire, why?
the ROM from Neophytex360 is old has the old market and apps that is not usable for young peoples. or have too many widgets and apps
the target of the ROM is to make an updated and simplyfi ROM for young peoples
only remove old apps and add new apps
for example: removed friendstream + widget, appsharer, footprints, stocks,
and update market to play store.
is this interesting to start to create the ROM ?
than i would uploading my editet Backup ROM, but sorry this is not for install or ?! i dont know ow grab the ROM from the phone
sorry for my bad english, im german

Go ahead and upload in the dev section. People who want to try will give it a shot.
By the way, two major problems with the stock ROM were low internal memory and the lock screen that used to unlock while pulling the phone out of the pocket.
If you can address these Iam sure there would be many takers.
Good luck!

To "extract" your rom, just copy "system" and whatever you need with root explorer and paste them on your sdcard.

You could've posted in other threads as well.
So... how is your rom different to other sense roms?

[Q] M8 Stock apps on custom ROM

Hi guys,
I tried looking around but couldn't find a solution but i have a custom ROM and i wanted to install a few stock apps like the remote app and the power saving app because i was used to them, where can i find them and install them?

You can see if they are ported to aosp by browsing the themes and apps section.... But as a rule, apps made for Sense require the Sense framework to function. So sense based roms should have the apps, or at least you could manually install them.
As far as finding them, some may be on the play store, or you can wait for someone to upload them for you. ?

Hi, thank you for the reply, yes i can now agree with you that i need a sense based ROM to have the stock apps working because they are available on the play store and you can install the app but when you run it, it refuses and says unsupported device.
Thanks for this

Sense Companion (HTC AI)

All,
The Sense Companion AI and an accompanying APK for an AI Live wallpaper are available on APK Mirror and I've installed them.
The problem is I can't seem to use them. They are installed but there is no options or icons to use them and the live wallpaper isn't selectable. I've tried installing them with package installer, copied to system/app and priv-app...I've matched their permissions as well but I can't seem to use them.
Does it only work with the U Ultra device maybe by particular device name or maybe a different version of Sense Home? Could anyone give their thoughts or perhaps results from trying it out?
Note: I am on Sprint Bad Boyz 3.0 N ROM and have enabled the Google assistant but it's supposed to integrate with the assistant. I'm at a loss.
