can anyone tell me how to get the htc apps on a gpe rom. I have downloaded a system dump from the stock htc sense 6 rom and moved the apps i wanted into the apps folder on the gpe rom then rebooted but no luck. Is there a rom that already has this. i just want the camera app really from sense.. CAn any1 help me
I dont think this will work. I tried this before on my htc one x with cm. HTC camera is made for sense and as I know it wont work on the GPE. HTC has to make it compatible with other android versions like they did with the gallery and blinkfeed.
Anyway, you can still download htc gallery and the duo camera effects will work fine if thats whats u need.
I believe the Sense camera relies on Sense framework to operate. so no, will not work on GPE.
Their must be some kind of Sense framework though right? So the HTC TV app, motion gestures and some other things work?

They do not rely on the sense framework.

Hey guys,
Just wondering if there is a HTC People or HTC Dialler app which is extracted from the HTC ROM's either in apk format or as a zip which I can flash? I've searched the forum but not found anything - wondering if they can be extracted since I assume that they can work without HTC Sense (e.g. when using different launchers)
I want to use OpenDesire but don't like the stock Android contacts/dialler.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hey, you can use Launcher Pro for sense like widgets. Otherwise sense widgets cannot use with default launcher on froyo.

Hi - thanks for your answer - I know that I can use Launcher Pro etc but what i'm really interested in is the actual phone app and the contacts app which are on the HTC ROM's. When using a Sense ROM, if i change launcher to, for example, Launcher Pro, then i can still use the HTC Phone and Contacts app - thats what i'm after on a non-Sense ROM.
The only sense integration is with Facebook Sync I think - which I could live without.
there is no option using sense widgets on froynly with launcher pro but i dont like it,i like sense widgets but i dont like sense,only widgets that i like.
I like to know if there's a way too, I don't like android's contacts\dialer either.
As far as I'm aware, the HTC dialler and phone .apk are too deeply integrated with sense to work as a standalone app on non-sense roms. Simply removing the apk won't work.

Cheers Rolfd - that would explain why no one has done it!
Does anyone know of any alternatives which offer smart dialling by typing in the name, etc?
Market: Dialer One
You could try Dialer One on the market.
Edit: I'm too slow!
Thanks guys - I'll try Dialler One on my next visit to Senseless Froyo!
Dialer one is the best in the market I think as a replacement for HTC's dialer however you could also check out "NubDial" some people prefer that.

Yes "Dialer One" is providing very "Sensi"ble way to use phonepad. Thanks
i am currently running DeFrost 3.2 and i was wondering how to install a htc program, such as music or the HTC weather app.
if it is possible
thanks in advance
Use astro file manager, or estrong. Navigate to the apk and install it.
Not sure if you can use HTC ones though as they are only for sense roms.
As said, HTC apps/widgets are Sense only...
ahh thats a shame, thanks anyway guys

I presume this is then linked to why you cannot use many of them in launcherpro?
well I know for a fact that HTC music and HTC weather widgets and their relevant apps work on a LP desktop, so I can't see any reason why they would not work.
They have their own .apk's and everything.
Hey Guys:
Just trying to understand the app porting better.
Alot of great mods had been created from port of different apk's from other Android devices. I know there is a big difference between ROM that have Sense and no-sense ROMS. Yesterday I tried out the Droid X Messaging App referenced here. It work really well, but I had to uninstall it because of the Force Closing. I think the reason it doesn't work is because the Droid X does not have HTC Sense and its manufactured by Moto, so the app maybe coded differently.
But HTC has a few phones now running Android 2.3. So it would seem even though phones like the Nexus One (Which doesn't have Sense) should be almost coded along the same lines as a HTC phone running Sense, right? Yet alot of the apps don't run very well on Sense based ROMS. Now I know most people hate Sense, but I think its a useful app. I use Sense while I'm work and Launcher Pro on the weekends and evenings (yeah I know it sounds crazy. I know). But I really want to add a few ported 2.3 apps like messaging, etc.
Currently running SprintLovers Rom cause its the closet to stock. But I would like to mod it a bit.
So what I'm wondering is how come there aren't more ported apps available for Sense based Roms?

I could be wrong, but I think it's because of how much the framework differs. I've never tried the messaging app that you referenced, but is it all black? If you're looking for a messaging app that is all blacked out, with white font, the here is a modded one. It is the stock htc messaging app, but themed black, made by JsChirf.

Thanks, i was thinking of trying that out. Wasnt sure if it worked or not. I loved the way the pics came on the Droid X mms app.

No problem man. I have had no issues with that app at all, and have been using it for a good while now. MMS works fine with it, but it's the same as the stock app. I've never seen how they come through with the Droid x app.
i converted my att htc one m8 to the gpe i love it the only thing it is missing is the fm radio app, i have tried a couple from the app store but they dont seem to work, does anyone have the one from the stock rom or one on the play store that they have gotten to work?
thank you
Can you just copy the APK from the OG ROM over to the GE ROM?
Or is the APK dependent upon the Sense framework?
i tried i keep getting forced closes the app doesnt even open
Can it be done?
It seems you have to run either Sense or GPe to get the HTC Gallery and the UFocus etc. Duo Camera features.
Am I missing something here - why can't these be lifted from the GPe ROMs to work on AOSP ROMs such as PA?
It's obviously harder to lift from Sense due to the libs -- but don't see why it's difficult from GPe to AOSP?
Just curious!

It's still down to libs and proprietary files from HTC. Without them it won't work
Also, questions go in Q&A
Apologies for the forum faux pas!
Sorted by Ghost, however
So it's still difficult to lift these proprietary libs from a GPe ROM to get it working in AOSP then?
I understand lifting from Sense is a lot harder as it's so integrated, but surely GPe & AOSP are a lot more 'compatible'?
Since HTC Gallery is available in the Play Store, and it's essentially this which does the 'Editing' on GPe - another way would be to just get this not spout "Not compatible with your device" when its installed on an AOSP ROM - because it will install! Just not run

GPe still has elements of Sense in it, as it uses Boomsound, Gestures, etc. so there are parts that still need the HTC framework to run so I'm assuming the camera app and the like need it
Well, I've now moved to GPe.
But - HTC Gallery says its Not Compatible in the Play Store.
Whereas, on Paranoid Android, I could at least download it - but when running it, I got a message saying it wasn't compatible.
I thought the HTC Gallery app would allow updated to HTC Photo Edit under GPe ROMs?

It's already built into the ROM. In the camera app, slide to open a picture and then go to 'Edit' and it's in there - you don't use the Gallery app at all
I understand that - but it's not the updated version with the UFocus "blur amount" slider, etc. which was released via the Play Store..
The description in the Play Store says that it only updates the HTC Photo Edit part on GPe, but it won't install to allow it to update.!

Well, I force updated the HTC Gallery app using the APK from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696399 It installs as an update to htc.albun.com which is already installed but doesn't show a Launcher icon. Gallery now appears, but doesn't work - and HTC Photo Edit has disappeared, so removing the option to use UFocus, etc!!
Argh.
So App Info -> Uninstall Updates -- and I'm back to no Gallery icon, but HTC Photo Edit is still callable from Edit on a picture.
Meh.
I'll stop messing now. It'll do!
Does UFocus still work for anyone/everyone? I'm on GPe as well, but my phone hangs on the "Processing..." animation when I tap on UFocus...
