I have tried searching for this and come back with no results or results that I cannot follow, so I was wondering if someone could put this in plain english for me. I want the people app on a fully functioning ROM, and cannot seem to find any available for a 32b. The ones I have tried that work natively (wi-fi, bluetooth etc) have the home screen loading problem and a lot of force closes, and the ones without the loading etc have problems with wi-fi etc. The only real reason for wanting the Sense UI is the people app, as I can have a slight Sense mod with enoch's theme for cyanogen, but the people app is what I would really like, for the facebook functionality. Is there anyway of getting this into a useable ROM? Thanks
Anyone have any ideas?
its completly dependent on the SENSEUI framework, it wont work on anythitng but sense roms...sorry...
Ah I figured that would be the case. What about the taiwanese SenseUI update for the Magic. Any chance of porting the framework for that or just having the bits necessary to run the People app?
no because its still a sense build. lol. there are some 2.0 roms out there though if you are rooted. 2.0 has auto facebook integration with your contacts as well
Thanks for the heads up, yeah I am rooted, rocking CM at the moment.
yeah try some 2.0 roms i know there are like 3 or 4 floating around, arent 100 percent stable and you cannot use your camera on them though..
OK, I've searched for days to try and find a fast, stable, sense-ui (Theme-wise) ROM that works on the HTC Hero. I've found tons of ROMS for the G1, I've tried the CyangenMod 6 ROM, I've spent hours searching for a good ROM. CM6 is a bit faster, but occasionally it will hang. (A bit better than stock 2.1) I don't like that a lot of apps don't work (After downloading an app and installing it, you can't click open or find it in your apps list) and I don't like that the fact that you can't group your contacts or have the Sprint/HTC widgets work. (The only widgets I use are the clock and the email, messages, and voice mail widgets that show how many you received.
Please let me know if you use one like that you can recommend.

For a good sense UI rom I would go with Zen rom. You can find it here.
I've been using this rom NFX-Hero 2.2.1 by nfinitefx45. After playing with other roms and the cyanogen ones, i've come back to this one. I've been running this for a couple weeks and it's pretty smooth and stable. So give it a try. Also, nfinitefx45 is one dedicated developer, he actually visits the thread often and help with answering questions, solving problems/bugs!

+1 nfinite's roms are put together well and are fast yet also solid.
I'm using the cyanogen rom. CM6. It's actually running android 2.2 (froyo) instead of 2.1, and I think it has a better keyboard and runs very well. I use the "digital clock widget", and the weather and "news and weather" widget, I think both are available in the Market, but News and weather came with the rom. I miss the bookmarks and calendar widgets from Sense, but its not worth going back. As far as voicmail goes I'm using google voice to handle my it, and there are widgets for it too.

I use CM6 as well, and prefer it over any sense rom but the OP wanted sense so I thought I'd humor myself
The CM6 with CyanogenSense theme looks and feels like my stock Hero, but runs way faster and has a better battery life. Zen makes a great rom, bit imo the CM6 is the way to go.

I've decided to try making a theme using the tutorial thread number 667951. (I can't post links yet I don't think, so again I'll just use this work around.) That being said, I've decided to stick with NFX-HERO for my ROM since the only thing wrong with it is the boot loop issue which I'm going to try starting from scratch to fix it today. So, the tutorial says that a good starting point for a theme would be to get an existing compatible theme and modify that one. (Great idea in my opinion. I've done this in the past with other phones I had.) Does anyone have an idea of a theme that would be useful for me to start off with? I want to change a lot of things on the phone, so the more intricate the theme is, probably the better.
Also, on a side note, if I remember correctly this thread had 3 pages before the site went down. I'm not sure why it was truncated. If any mods know why, please let me know.

We lost about 2 days posts when the site crashed
i used a theme called blue echo to learn where most things go. and in his rom there is a great vending apk that has the market themed as well. then i took a dialer from one of godzen's and moved it all to compare to my stock 2.1 files and made it work with a rom i am currently running. im just now getting into looking at the apps like clock etc but that was a good start for me since there is alot covered there.
OK, let me ask you this. It'll clear up some things I need to know on compatibility. What makes a theme compatible with one ROM and not another? Likewise, what makes an app compatible with one ROM and not another? Is it the structure? If so, how? I'm a computer programmer, but even though android phones are quite similar to a Linux system on a PC, I'm still not sure if I understand the compatibility issues behind themes.
Also, just so I don't have to post again to ask this in case it's relevant, are Blue Echo and GodZen's dialer compatible with NFX? I downloaded them, but it never said anything about NFX. Is NFX similar to Sprint's 2.1 in the sense that it will run any themes I make for NFX?
well the Rom im using is mostly stock so the framework and htc.resource files are the same. for say CM6 (and i havent looked into it just a example) may have say the status bar grey and i want black. in the stock i would change the statusbar_bkg file in the framework.apk folder but in CM6 it may be in the same plae with a different name or the same name in a different place or just non existent all together. as for if they are compatible the only way to know is to try. the only way to know for sure is to open them compare and replace what you need in the correct order. also i use metamorph to apply themes. you can find it in the market. but the Vending.apk theme must be pushed with adb for some reason or it will crash the market.
matter of fact now that i think of it, the Rom im using is about to incorporate NFX. go here and you an see my post where i put what i transfereed over and they should work as i think NFX is mostly a stock (so to speak) Rom.

You are using a Hero, right? Not a G1? That would explain the boot loop issue you had with NFX.
NFX-HERO was listed in the Hero ROMs section. You sure it's only for G1? Would another phone's ROM actually even flash to a different phone properly? I mean it works, but with boot loops.
Yes they will but may it may not work. And I'm sure that Rom is for a hero and I would flash over and look for myself but I have been threw like 5 Rom's today and just got it back normal lol.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
OK, so today I had a chance to wipe and flash the NFX-HERO ROM again. Now the phone seems a bit more stable. I can boot it and it boots all the way up fine and I can click "Shutdown Phone" and have it shutdown without freezing and rebooting, but now right now I've spotted only one flaw. When I use the phone in disk drive mode, but then pull the USB out of the phone without switching it back to charge only, and it freezes and reboots on me. (This happened last time.) I've also noticed that the phone gets increasingly more unstable as time goes on, so I wouldn't doubt that it would do this even more later on.
Correction, no matter what I do, to remove the USB when I use it as a disk drive, the phone freezes and reboots.
Update again: I decided to use RegawMod instead. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661991) It's super fast, no bugs from what I can see, highly compatible, and it looks slick! I even used a mod to turn my dialer pink. lol I can see this being my ROM of choice for a long time. The only thing I didn't like was that it was lacking the Google Navigation tools, so I installed GoogleApps.apk (If you're looking for this file, just Google GoogleApps.apk) from another ROM and rebooted me phone (So it would show up) and then it worked just fine. I'm not sure why it isn't showing local listings for destinations first, but that may be just because it didn't catch the GPS location right off the bat. I did set my location settings to being shared.
There is a pink theme in 2.1 catalog if i remember right. If you like pink that might be a good start for you to move the files around to see how they are built.

Haha... I see how that can be misinterpreted.
Yeah, NFX is a Hero ROM, I was asking if you were trying to flash it on a G1, because if you were, it wouldn't work.
I like Regawmod 2.1. Fast with a nice dark theme. Based off of damage control. Just my two cents.

I have finally gotten my Aria rooted and running with both Liberated FR008 and CM 6.1. I am looking for people who have tried both and why they decided one or the other. I like the way CM lets you customize the Mod itself but I miss the Sense widgets that the Liberated has on it. I'm hoping that some of you have found things within either Rom that I have not discovered yet to push me in either direction. Thanks for the help.

CM without a doubt. Yea the sense widgets are nice and fancy but to be honest, that's a small sacrifice for complete customizability.

Do you use a Bluetooth headset with your Aria? If so, then CM 6.1 fully implements all of the BT Voice Dialing features that have been added to Froyo 2.2, whereas HTC has not fully implemented all of the BT Voice dialing features. Both of these ROMs will launch the Voice Dialing app by pressing the headset button, however, the Voice Dialing app can apparently be started in BT mode which allows you speak the voice command through the BT headset. On HTC Sense the Voice Dialing app will launch, but it is not running in BT mode, so you have to speak the commands into the phone's mic.
Another thing I noticed is that HTC is not using the Froyo email client which allows for a combined inbox.
Other than that, to each his own. I am running CM 6.1, but I have installed the HTC_IME keyboard; it is the only thing from Sense that I really missed.
They are both excellent roms, but I must agree with the above statements. Especially since CM is coming out with 2.3 for Aria hopefully in the near future.
I liked the sense widgets as well but I was able to fix that craving with beautiful widgets and launcher pro. Life is good on CM 6.1.1. Now if I could just fix my exchange bug that keeps showing up every couple of days...
None. I would choose Liberated R012. Works flawless and it doesn't lag like the Froyo ROM. CM is great but the basic android looks horrible to be honest.
A few things keep me on Sense, even though I really like CM. Last time I ran CM6, it did not have copy/paste in the Email app or the Browser whereas Sense has it. Gingerbread seems to have better text selection, so when that's available for Aria, I'm there!
Also, Gallery 3D does not run well on my phone.
Lockscreen gestures on CM are a pretty huge feature for me... without unlocking the phone, I can draw a heart to call my wife, an H to call home, a C to activate the camera and a V to activate the camcorder. You can use a gesture to do almost anything on the phone, so these are just a few basic examples.
guys I am looking at rooting my phone, but instead of flashing a whole new rom onto it, can I just do the root and have clockwork recovery installed, then can I install just the froyo update ontop of what I already have on my phone?

There is no Froyo update for your phone.
so the froyo rom thats release and is used by attn1 etc isnt that the froyo update? Cause I heard its available in Asia atm.
Also without the update or flashing a new room, but rooting the phone and installing titanium backup etc, I know that I can delete bloatware apps using titanium backup, can I also move apps to sd without having froyo installed but as the phone is rooted, will it allow me to do so?
Thanks again

ATTN is a rom, it is not an update. You have to start from scratch. Also you cannot remove bloatware with Titanium or any other app.
Liberated, but without sense launcher. I love the way sense sync does it's job and keep my contacts updated with their fb and twitter. I know there is ways for this in cm but its not the same. I use launcherpro because sense launcher is kinda laggy.
You will probably get bored sense Widgets after some time. I just like clock and weather widget and there is absolutely the same known as fancy widgets.

I agree that R012 seemed more stable than FR008, and a tad more responsive. However, R012 does not support app2sd so I can't have as much crap on my phone as I do now. I did slim down the FR008 ROM a bit by removing the Mail, MMS, calendar apps, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube as well as most the Sense widgets (you delete them from ATTN1's zip file before flashing).
I have tried CM6, many people have good things to say about it but the UI just seems so... unpolished for lack of better word. Yeah, this is eye candy, but I like the Sense eye candy. Having 7 home screens helps too. Last but not least, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to disable the home screen animation and it annoys me to no end so CM had to go. Credit where credit is due... it does seem very zippy on the Aria.

Lag? Maybe it's because I am using Launcher Pro but my phone moves on both FR008 and CM 6.1.1. Very crisp and very responsive. The only thing that lags for me is the gallery app in CM. Everything in FR008 is butter.

I second launcherpro! I paid for launcherpro and beautiful widgets and I don't miss sense at all. Launcherpro has a nice calendar widget(like sense) and a nice messaging widget as well as some others. Launcherpro is faster than sense for me as well. Beautiful widgets can look just like the sense clock/weather widget but with tons of skins to choose from. Both are worth every penny.

No, you can't. Titanium backup will not do this on nand-locked phones, even with root. Until S-OFF is available for the Aria, it is nand-locked.
The Froyo IS available for the Aria if you have clockwork - just flash LA FR008 or CM6 - soon CM7.

Click here for all downloads, present and past
All previous versions are again available.
::NOTE ON ALL LOCKSCREEN INCLUDED VERSIONS::
The lockscreen-included versions of the MikG roms 2.57 and beyond have had several apk's left intact to maintain the ability to change the lockscreen shortcuts and style. After you have customized the Lockscreen to your liking you may use a root explorer type app and remove those apk's. Or you can use titanium backup and freeze them so that in the future if you wish to change the lockscreen again you can un-freeze them. Either way you choose to do it, here are the two apk's.
Rosie.apk/odex (will be called "sense" in titanium Backup)

:: DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THESE ROMS ARE:::
These are all senseless roms, Will have versions with and without the Lockscreens eventually. They maintain all the sense programs except for rosie and it's widgets and customization utilities. In terms of launchers, rosie is very large. Just for ease of explaination purposes, here is a comparison *of course ram usage is more important than this, but you will get the point and I can't quote amounts of free ram because of different AMM settings and not having an evo myself anyways*
Synergy RLS1 Original download Size::: 297MB
Synergy RLS1 Senseless ::: 254MB
Synergy RLS1 Senseless NO HTC Lockscreen::: 208MB
So you get to drop 43MB by getting rid of rosie and it's widgets and another 46MB by getting rid of the Lockscreen and all the leftover stuff that can then be removed by having the lockscreen and rosie gone. And remember these include GoLauncher already LOL. You get the point.
It turns out making everything perform smoother and faster, and you get to use whatever launcher you prefer without rosie and garbage running in the background.
HTC versions of SMS, Email, Contacts, Dialer, etc are left there because they really work well together.
:: BUGS ::
None for any of the current roms, please let me know what you find.

All credit goes to the original creators, Aamikam, etc. You can click my ads on the download page for my work, but if you really want to donate to someone, send some cash their way.

If you are wanting a Senseless Rom why not just use an Asop or CM Rom? You can still add Go launcher or LPP or ADW launchers and Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets. As of now with ASOP with gingerbread 2.3.4 you don't have all the camera or gps issues you have with Sense 3.0. And most sense ports now are using a mix of the older sense's (1.0-2.0 and 2.1).

I also run a "rosieless" sense rom. I don't use the Rosie launcher or the widgets. I DO enjoy all of the Sense applications a lot better than aosp apps. Sense also has a much tighter integration with its different apps, Facebook, etc. The dialer looks up names as you dial, aosp does not do that. The messaging and mail apps are superior than aosp imho. All of the notifications on the lock screen I enjoy more. I can go on and on. Just because you don't use the Rosie launcher doesn't mean its aosp, far from it.

Yes this I know. I have been around long enough with these devices to know that not running the rosie launcher does not make it ASOP. I have run just about every os that is out there. Including using my old TP2 in dual boot mode when they first started doing that.
I have run my Evo with no sense last year, so this is no new concept to most of us. Calkulin made an app last year to remove the sense apps in one shot if you did not want to use all the bloat.

CM mods are great. I prefer it as my choice for AOSP roms, but I would still prefer a senseless rom. The only things I think CM mods have as an edge to sensless roms are the option to unlock your phone without pressing the "ok" button, and better battery life.
Looking forward to this rom. If you manage to keep it sensless but keep the 3.0 lockscreen, that would be pretty impressive!
ASOP roms have gps issues, I did not find a permanent solution for it in any forum.
If you want a 100% working perfect rom you can try Ginger-AleV2 or MikG 0.51, both are Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 with latest 2.3.4 gtalk video. I flashed Ginger-AleV2, then got GoLauncherEx from Market (free).
Update:

Camera works better on this rom than on AOSP roms, plus you get 720p recording back. And it runs smooth enough to actually use 720p recording.
There is a noticeable screen smoothness to htc stock kernels that I can't get with any aosp rom. If you use them side by side, even with evodeck's or cyanogen's latest you can see that the HTC builds just look smoother.
and you can really notice this in games. I play a lot of games, not the really high end hard for our phones to play type of games (well a few of them) but even in ****in Chuzzle you notice a huge difference LOL.
Normally with All the Sense **** eating up all the resources the games on HTC builds don't run very well, but when you slim down to an easier to run launcher and everything they run so damn purdy.
GPS is perfect
##codes work
tight program integration like mentioned with stock dialer, facebook, twitter, etc.
Rosieless sense-based I think is the perfect way to go. You get all the performance of AOSP without any of the downsides. Working on fixing everything and getting this up, I fell asleep last night.
The HTC Facebook I accidentally took out and the MMS are going to be back in this one
HTC Facebook rocks. No ****ty facebook program, just contact sync WOOT. haha. I can't stand the facebook program. Full desktop version of the website in Dolphin Browser 5.0b2 HD is the way to go.
So with the next"release" or whatever, will you have the text messaging apk back?
Excited to try this out!

I want all of XDA to use that ftp as a mirror if they want to. But I don't want to create a post and get flamed by people like:
Oh you think you are cool cuz you pay for a ****ty little server, we don't want to use your mirror you weirdo.
People get so harsh on here sometimes I could see something weird like that happening lol.
It says sense 3.0 lock screen but where can I update it? The sense 3.0 has the short cuts and different typed, I can't go into personalize and change any of that..

Skydeaner..quick question...if I want to give this a go and I am using Vaelek's latest (been for Month's now) with a2sd already set up...how would I go about flashing this ROM..I used to flash like crazy till Val's ROM and now I do not know what to do (as far as wiping the phone--do I just wipe data, cache and dalvik, or do I have to also wipe ext's) since I am using a2sd..
p.s. I am using AmonRa 2.3...thanks
Yeah, im pretty sure wipe sd-ext is required,but don't take my word for it.
@skydeaner, yeah thanks for the hosting. Thanks for this senseless rom. Probably gonna check it out, just first gonna find screens of what go launcher is like. I usually use adw and LP. Havebt seen go.
At selders59, senseless is a million miles from aosp and cannot be compared.
@ all. Cheesynuts just dropped link for official evo3d from 911htc. Woohoo

Working on fixing everything and getting this up, I fell asleep last night.
The HTC Facebook I accidentally took out and the MMS are going to be back in this one

Curious to try this but would like to when it's been updated with the above. Looks promising, thanks for doing this! XDA rocks......
Cool - I like this, feels like a hybrid. For those who have tried AOSP roms, this looks like AOSP with better features from sense, like the weather widget, notification icons, contacts & phone dialer app, and of course the sense 3.0 lockscreen. I think the contacts and dialer apps in AOSP needs a lot of improvement, just my opinion. Thanks Skydeaner.
Hey everyone,
I love my Infuse but the only thing is I absolutely HATE TouchWiz. I love HTC's Sense but unfortunately AFAIK there isn't a way of getting that on here.
Anyways back to my main point, what is the easiest way to get rid of TouchWiz and Samsung's Dialer, E-Mail Client and SMS Client? I much prefer the stock Android version of everything so if someone could please point me in the right direction that would be great.
My phone IS rooted BTW incase that makes things easier
Thanks!
CM 7 is in the process of being ported to the infuse, check the development section - still doesn't have all bugs worked out yet, but that's your only alternative to TouchWiz

Until CM7 is available you could change the launcher and use market apps to do SMS, Email, etc...
Just delete/move or freeze the APKs using a root-enabled file explorer or Titanium Backup. Then you can install some alternative apps, lockscreens, and launchers.
Alternatively, you might want to check out some of the ROMs in the dev section. You can easily get a close-to-AOSP feel with Infused v2 and the lockscreen addon.
Yeah I'm always watching the CM7 thread to see what's new, etc.
Am I able to get the AOSP APK's for the dialer, sms and e-mail from somewhere? I would change my launcher but without the AOSP APK's I don't see the point
I am currently on Infused V2 with the lockscreen addon, just want to get rid of the Samsung feel ;-)
Thanks for everyone's help!
the dialer and contacts would be difficult to permanantly change. way back designgears tried an aosp look rom for the captivate and he wasn't able to change the dialer. you can get go contacts/dialer which is a single app much like aosp with added features and is themeable.
you can change the sms to aosp I believe but I'm not sure why you'd want to, it is really limited. there are many market apps you can use. go sms pro and handcent are very popular.
and there are many launcher in the market for you to choose. the gingerbread one from Eugene373 is same as gtg puts in his roms I believe.
I guess I will just wait until CM7 is all ready
I like simplicity, I think the Samsung SMS, E-mail and dialer are way too bloated. I look at it this way, if the main used functions of my phone are simple and basic then I won't have too many problems with the phone with daily use.

well it sounds like you might like go dialer/contacts then, it has some additional features but isn't very complicated at all. only issue is that every time it gets upgraded the defaults get cleared and you need to set them back to go contacts for like 4-5 different scenarios. it is a good app but the defaults system on android can get annoying. and I do believe aosp sms will work on this phone, just haven't seen it tried. it was done many times on the sgs phones because earlier versions of tw sms had weird problems with the time stamps, especially on custom roms, that and the theme was pretty gross.
Well I know SMS is possible for sure because I was using Refuse 1.7 before I upgraded to Infuse and it has the AOSP SMS which was nice
Hopefully CM7 gets finished up sooner than later
As mentioned, you have many options in the market...
popular launcher apps
go launcher
zeam launcher (i use on nook)
launcher pro (i use on infuse)
adw launcher (have on my son's phone)
android 2.3 launcher
SPB Shell 3D (looks like an amazing launcher)
and more
sms
chomp
go
handcent (i use)
and more
Dialers
I rarely make calls so I have not really looked into changing the dialer.
