[REQ] HTC Dialer

Can HTC Desire's dialer be installed onto Nexus one? Without rooting?
I am deciding... which one to buy.. Nexus one or Desire? After a lot of thinking and reading, HTC's smart dialer is the only thing I will truly miss on nexus one. After using touchflo/sense on WM for years, I have grown tired of HTC's eyecandy...but their dialer is just too..hmmm...smart!
PS: okay.. may be Desire's black theme too.. can nexus one theme be changed to black? without rooting?
PPS: I don't have anything against rooting... I will do it soon..but I want to first get comfortable to the jargon of android world and figure out things.

This is about the third or fourth thread in this forum asking exactly the same thing. The answer is no. None of the HTC apps will run on stock Android; they depend on HTCs framework, which is proprietary. The only way to use the HTC apps is on an HTC ROM, like Desire. But you CAN start with a Desire ROM, and push all the stock apps to it, and morph the statusbar back to light-colored, so it feels aaaaaalllmost the same as stock, but with HTC apps. You don't have to use touchflo (Sense, as it's called on Android) just because you're using a Sense-based ROM. Make sense?

yup. thank you.
Is there any other smart dialer available? one that can be installed?

Try Dialer One from the market

My vote goes to Nubdialer from the market...

"Dialer One" better than HTC.

+1 it acts just like the HCT dialer but looks more stock eclair (better imo) and is more customizable.

+1 NubDialer ! Jk, Dialer One is pretty awesome too .

I have the EXACT same problem as the originator of this thread. It's just that I already have the Nexus and I really don't like all HTC eye-candies, as @arkavat is also saying. I just want the dialer which, in my opinion, is better than the Dialer One or NubDial that are available for Nexus.
But if this means installing an OS with all other HTC crap, I'd rather live with Dialer One.

I also used several htc phones, after using nexus, i am now using the dialer one, it's better than the htc dialer.

How is it better?
I can tell you how it may not be:
T9 filtering in HTC dialer works not only on the first word/letters but on any part of the name. Can Dialer one do this?
T9 filtering in HTC dialer works on both contacts and call history in the same box. Doesn't Dialer one use different tabs?
When I scroll down contacts in a T9 search, I see call history and immediately below the other contacts in alphabetical order. Aren't these on different screens in Dialer one?
HTC Dialer is fast, I seem to remember Dialer one being slower
I prefer the layout of HTC dialer, but that may just be me.
If you can find me one dialer that does all of what the HTC dialer can do, please PM me!
The lack thereof is my main reason for flashing Desire HD roms instead of CM / Nexus type of ROMS on my HD2!

Phone dialer

Is there a way to change the phone dialer/app to the one like the Cyanogen dialer, on a sense rom? I prefer that dialer. Haven't seen it brought up. Thanks

We'd all love it, but as far as I know, it can't, or at least isn't done.
Have you given "dialer one" off the market pretty cool

Droid x htc sence

Is there a sence theme for the droid x? Like that has the dialer and the music player and the flip clock and everything?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

i am going to have to agree with this.

Do you mean like HTC SENSE?? The DROIDX doesn't have "sense" it has the Motorola blur overlay. Someone would have to build a theme for the X that made it look like HTC SENSE
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Well we know its not possible to build a ROM for it because of its locked bootloader, and there is a theme, it's just really not very good....If you want to make ur phone look like HTC Sense then do the following...
-Get an old version of fancy widget off 4shared.com
-Download HeLauncher and use the HTC Sense Homescreen
-For Lockscreen, download Lockbot or WidgetLocker and use HTC Sense Lock
-For Wallpapers I'm sure you can get on the market.

You can actually build ROMs for it no problem (look at CM7 now), the problem would be that HTC obviously doesn't release the source code for Sense, etc. So there's no possible way of going that route. A long time ago I remember seeing a pretty good Sense theme for Droid X, but I'm not sure if it's still being maintained anymore. I'll see if I can find a link

Actually, I do believe that the Sense User Interface is open-source. So all it would take is a good developer to build and port Sense for the Droid X.

miui has a sense 3.0 lockscreen

i highly doubt sense will ever work on a motorola device.
fyi, it never truly worked on the og droid either. no mms, no 3g, sdcard errors, constant reboots, and other errors.
but it was a good attempt.

@smyers1012 thanx for the info. I already had widgetlocker but then I dl lockbot. N I prefer it way better! Thanx

Don't say what can't be done, someone might do it, or might be working on it while you're saying that.

Htc Sense keyboard for Miui Rom?

I don't like the default gingerbread keyboard.. its small for my fingers.... is there a way to get the sense keyboard for this amazing Rom
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

I believe not, sorry.
Try asking in the MIUI Q&A's thread.

Actually, there is.

Download the high resolution froyo one, unzip the file, and install both the files in the zip. Enjoy

Thanks bro worked... I love this keyboard
Sent From My Miui Inspire 4G using XDA Premium

My bad,
no excuses for having to search it for you tho.
might install that myself now.

If the HTC Sense keyboard is buggy on MIUI, I suggest Smart Keyboard Pro. Although it is a paid app (1.99 I believe), it allows customization of skin (Including HTC Sense, Android, iPhone, Galaxy, etc.) key resizing, vibration density and much more.

Big CM10 + Sense question

I'm not sure if this is possible but its worth a try to ask. I really like the phone app built into the CM9/10 ROM. Im using rebellMOD and love it but i was wondering if there was a way to extract the phone app either to replace or work beside the sense one (replace would be nice, but anything would be sweet) Viper rom would be the one I'd like to use. Also would it be possible to get the standard Mail app (the yellow one) from CM9/10 to work on a sense rom? I like it over the one built in?
Any help would be sweet! Or just info to how or why its not possible. Thanks!

Anyone? Mail app is not as important

Don't think it can be done

Well, if you take viper for example there's an aosp dialer and contact list THEME. Not the real $h!t, but it looks pretty close

I think Scott tried to bring the AOSP dialer into Clean Rom dev a long while back and had no luck getting it to work. You could try theming it though.
And I have no clue about the mail app. I always delete it since all I use on my phone is gmail.

[ROM] 7/17 ▶Team Nocturnal◀ RebelROM Senseless 1.1 AOSP Style (Lite,Clean and Stable)
that is the only rom i seen attempt to do it. it's pretty dated now though. the 1.2beta1 it's pretty bugged, but people have said the 1.1 was good.
