Is there any chance to install the new version of the HTC camera seen on the HTC One M8 with Sense 6.0 on Android Stock devices like the Nexus 5? Is there maybe a .apk floating around in the forums I didn't find?

No. Unless you got the special duo camera that came with the super rare Nexus 5.

But there are a lot of feature that are working without the dualcamera, so it would be great to use those

Even regardless of the dual camera, the short answer is NO, not going to happen.
First off, the camera is dependent on Sense framework, so just installing the APK is not going to make it work.
Further, the effort to post the camera along with the necessary Sense framework while technically "possible" would be extremely tedious and laborious. So "possible" to port it, technically yes. Feasible? No.

Seriously?
You do realize that the HTC Legend runs HTC Sense? We already have a great theme for that. It's called HTC Sense and it comes with every HTC Hero out there.

yes iknow that but i would like to have the ui in settnings and like friendstream
watch video "Hands-on with the HTC Legend and the aluminum unibody" on youtube
Any 2.1 rom should have that menu and the friendstream is an app when someone gets hold of the .apk for it then that should be possible as well.
thanks for the infO

We won't be able to theme something like FriendStream, but like mentioned above, there will be an APK for it.
Within minutes of the Legend being released we will have a system dump. It won't be long.
I am also waiting a lot for the dev's to get the ROm of the HTC Desire and Legend and adapt it for Hero!
I am so excited to get all these new features ( i don't care about the stupid pinch to see desktops, but the copy-paste , Bluetooth audio on 2.1 ROM, the new contact widgets, etc..)
Villain is really nice but still buggy and i am sure it will get really better when he will get the Legend/Bravo sources!
im hoping its soon its a really nice UI !!
I'm looking forward to this as well. Does villain have good 3d gaming? i havent tried his yet because of this.

You do know we can already copy and paste don't you? Bluetooth audio works on some 2.1 roms already and so does the new contact widget and even pinch zoom on desktop. Currently the only real thing we are missing is the friend stream.

No it does have problems with this but that's more due to the files we have available than how he has made the rom, we need a more complete htc 2.1 rom before this will work properly

He won't get the Legend/Bravo sources! Android 2.1 is already available AOSP, and the HTC stuff is closed source.
To be honest, I rather expect the Hero update to be pretty much everything that will be on the Legend, so the real issue here is which will come first - the Legend or the Hero 2.1 update?

Dave

He probably meant that the copy and paste feature have been much improved since 1.5, if you watch the presentation of the new HTC phones.
In about a month, we're getting the same Sense update..
For the who wants to know:
The new ROM is already compiled for the Nexus one and works 99%.
I really hope that once it's OK for the N1, we will get it for the Hero!

This doesn't make any since because you want a 2.1 sense ROM that will also be given to the Hero?
The work making a rom based off of the Legend is pointless since it would be the same thing your getting.

Exactly, people don't seem to be understanding this point.
Also about 80-85% of the features are also available on custom roms (albeit maybe a little buggy until we get the real thing)
Is there a way get the sense 6 camera app onto the gpe Rom. If so . How do I do it
You can get the apk on there but it needs sense to work

Is it at all possible to make that camera app as an independent (from Sense 6) app ? Or am I dreaming ?

Dreaming. It relies on the sense 6 framework which isn't included in GPE models. (AFIK)

I understand that part, where it relies on Sense 6, but how big is that dependence and how impossible is it to make that app work by it's own, like any other (sideloadable ) app ?
I mean I am not gonna handle this "issue" myself, but I do wanna have a clue how it works and how come it's that hard to do or maybe completely impossible ?!
This app is the only reason me and a lot other will not want to flash GPD on M8, cuz the camera is "bad" enough already to risk it, make it even worse ) Otherwise HTC did a great job adding a lot of hardware support for M* in GPE rom.
Thanks

I was just thinking of that exact thread; as I remember when the dev posted it, and have linked to it several times in the past myself.
Technically its "possible" as almost anything is. But whether its "feasible" or not is a completely different issue. Basically no dev is going to put that kind of effort and time into something with not that much payoff; when you can just flash a Sense ROM.
Hi guys. I'm convert ing my AT&T M8 to GPe since I'm used to using my nexus tablet so much. This is my first shot at custom ROMs with android but I used to be big into the homebrew scene in the good old PSP days, so I'm not a stranger to modifying devices past their potential lol.
I've flashed my custom recovery and have installed supersu to the device, however.0, after running firewater, it fails and says firewater can't work with the device. It stops after "chugging first bottle"
I even installed Insertcoin rom because it says to do it with a rom with an insecure kernel for better results and it still fails.
- on a side note, while I have insertcoin installed in the meantime, does anyone know why after I flashed the rom my boot time is a few minutes long now? Seems strange to me.
Anyways, any help/comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

HTC patched the exploit Firewater used, doesn't work anymore. Can try Sunshine S-OFF
[Android][HTC S-OFF] SunShine for modern HTC devices
It's $25 , though it works and even in the event that it "might" not work. Your device gets tested to make sure it'll work before you have to pay the money, so if it passes you can pay, if it won't succeed you won't need to pay $25 for something that won't work...
Ah fiddlesticks! No way around that, huh? Well I guess I can learn to live with Sense. Does anybody recommend any other roms that don't need s-off other than the Insertcoin one I'm running now? I can learn to live with it but it does take roughly 5 minutes to boot, which is kind of a pain. Just wondering. Thanks.

the long boot time is due to out of date firmware look in the development section on updating firmware with S-On

No problem Keep me posted on what you like or dislike. I've been running SkyDragon since I got my HTC and would like to try that since I am itching to flash something.
Don't forget to check out Gravity Box for KK on he Xposed modules.

definitely will check it out once I get into the rom a bit.
One more quick, possibly stupid question (I'm sorry to be a pain). Granted, I understand that the sense overlay is meant to run the sense based software and was never designed for crossover development, but is there any way to bring over the duo camera software to the GPe rom? If not, it's no big deal. I was just curious. It's honestly the only thing I'd miss. The standard google cam software is alright, but I know the camera is meant to do certain things. Just wondering.

In not entirely certain about this but apparently since GPE was built specific for this device the GPE camera app supports the hardware of the camera including the duo. The difference is the camera effects which can be done post picture with the HTC software available from the play store

I came a cross a couple of similar threads where some developers actually ported the Sense camera to GPE ROMs but they are fairly old (4.4.3) threads and the Sense camera versions are old too. I am running the latest Android Lollipop GPE (5.0.1) and I am looking to install and use the latest Sense camera on it if at all possible since the Google Camera app does not utilize the duo-focus feature AFAIK and the pictures do look much better and more crisp on the Sense side, so do you guys know if that is available/possible at the moment?
Thank you for your time.
It's possible to have Sense Camera on GPE but the only downside is you have to install the sense gallery as well but it does not work. You'll need to disable google camera before the pictures that you taken with the sense camera can be seen.
Perhaps, developer who doing SkyDragon firmware, could to do this. I will hope he can to do...

I've installed this and the Image Preview on the bottom right doesn't seem to work. Any luck on that? I want to be able to open the image after taking a picture, but I'd have to exit the app and open with QuickPic or something.

that preview uses the standard HTC Gallary app. (you can get it from play store)
i never use Gallary (only QuickPic) so i disabled it a while back but then also realised that i lost the preview pic.
very reluctantly i have enabled it again.
if anyone knows how to use QuickPic for that preview that would be great...
Long shot here, but is there a stock android either Lollipop or Marshmallow (way unlikely) that I can flash to this device once it is S-Off?
Nope. Closest you would get would be CM, but the camera is not fully functional yet and I don't know if it supports advanced calling on Verizon either.

Neo, thanks for pointing that out. However, I was referring to stock android along the lines on what you would find on Nexus Devices. On my One M8, I was able to flash stock android like was found on the google play edition. I couldn't quite tell whether the link you posted when I first browsed it yesterday was bone stock, or was still customized by HTC (HTC dialer, HTC help, HTC clock, etc).

Oh, so you're looking for a form of AOSP then ie: vanilla android os with no sense gui or other gui.
As the previous member stated, we have it, we can build it, but for now the camera is broken and wake gestures don't look to be working. Everything else appears to work ok. Actually, CM recently just pushed some changes to the device which might fix camera. I or flyhalf may put a build together and try it out soon.
The link I posted just now is the stock factory shipped sense rom (most updated).
Thanks Neo for your effort in attempting to put that together, I look forward to it!

Neo,
Sorry to revive this relatively old thread. CM has nightlies for the GSM M9 (himaul). From the bits and pieces that I've found around XDA and the web in general, it seems like it's working well with the potential exception of some bluetooth issues (which I don't really care all that much about right now). It's not built to run on the Verizon m9 though.
I know there's CandyRom, which is based on CM, but I'm looking for as close to AOSP as possible. Sense is actually okay, but I don't want any of the VZ specific stuff that's found on the stock ROMS I've seen. I know I can disable >>most<< of it, but definitely not all.
Is there general guidance out there on how to build CM from the himaul source, but make it compatible with the m9 himawl (verizon)? Any other suggestions for vanilla-ish ROMs?
The m8 version was compatible with all and worked well. Don't know why the m9 version isn't Verizon compatible (yet?).
Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving.
