[Q] Desire app customization on opendesire - General Questions and Answers

Hi all!!!
I'm using the ROM opendesire 3.0.4 on my Desire, is the best I've found at the moment. I don't wanna install any "sense" ROM, but there are some app, or features from sense that are really useful.
-For example the theme or app for the PHONE, while you write the phone number you can see all the contacts that starts with the same number and you can tap on any of them directly.
I'll comment you about other app I'm interested on, but, the most important at the moment is that one, otherwise I would have a lot of comments about other less important apps.
Thank you very much and sorry for my but english.
Greetings from Spain

Custom Rom's for you.

This thread is for anyone that wants a more customized rom.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will take any rom released on xda for the dream and customize it to ur liking.
If you don't want the msg/mail widgets or a song played during the boot of ur hero rom I will do that as well.
I won't theme a rom for you nor will i create a rom from scratch, i will only modify it to ur liking.
If this sounds like something that you would want just contact me via twitter or email when you know what you want.
Message me the apps you dont want or apps you want added to the rom.
Twitter - follow me on twitter and post a tweet so i can read it when im not at my computer. Thanks.
Gmail - [email protected]
If this isn't the right spot for this thread mod's please move it, I'm just trying to make things easier for the more noobish people in this forum.
Update: There is a rom at the bottom of this page with some specs if you want to try it.
Thanks and happy flashing.
Well, I guess that's a nice thing to do. Thanks for sharing. Although, I would be interested in a nice tutorial on how to take a ROM off XDA and modify it by removing/adding components... Lemme know if you can help.
Thanks again for your helping intentions!
Long live Android and the community
yea, actually being able to compile a full rom pack for fresh regular wipes complete with apps and whatnot would be killer. I'm sure there's a guide to compiling your own package somewhere though. This totally is the dev department =P Check the huge list of q&a
I'm just want people who get frustrated easily to be able to have the same benefits as the rest of us. You just tell me the rom you want, we'll chat for a little and i'll tell you what apps i can take out and you can ask me to add some apps into the rom..if you want a theme i can help you pick the best one for you and other things along those lines. I already have a few requests and I'm going to sleep now but I will try and get you guys ur roms as soon as I possibly can.
I could use (a lot of people who do embedded systems stuff could use, actually) a cupcake rom with the serial port enabled, TTYMSM2. This would allow hooking up th Dream to a number of devices (Including a sonar if you want to do the Dark Knight scanner thing ).
Ideally it should have variable baud rate but if thats not an option, a lot of stuff (DGPS, sonars...) still runs at 9600 baud.
So would it be possible to get Ion with the htc dialer and htc mail app(exchange)?
I have a few requests that i will be getting to tonight. I will try my best to get them done in speedy orderly fashion.

i would just like a how to on making a lock screen
This is an update from drizzy that i modified a bit for a friend..
-for weather or flip clock use the android widget
-no mail/sms widgets
-updated onscreen keyboard just have to enable it.settings->Locale & Text-> Disable Touch Input
-Some extra games you can delete them from Settings->Applications->manage applications
-other fixes that seem to make it quicker.
-don't overclock, enjoy.

idc what rom it's running on (i'm on cyan 3.9.1 i believe), i just want the camera from wherever you can get it from that has the "store location in photo/pictures" option.
this would be a dream come true. lol
i looked for an app that offered it but seen nothing. =/
pictures store on ur sd card in DCIM/100 Media and wont go anywhere as long as you don't format ur fat32 partition..im not sure where else you would want them to be stored though.

I think he means one that embeds the current GPS data into the image.
So, when he takes a picture it will embed the data of *where* the picture was taken.
Ide like to see some of the hero widgets, like photo album, and the large calendar, and the twitter widget, work on the JACxHERO v1.3 rom
That would be pretty cool, Just all the HERO widgets in general work on the JACxHERO 1.3 build
that would be cool
Background phone
Is there a way to get the background of the contacts, fav, ect.. To black with white fonts. I'm running JacXHero 1.1 with themed palm-hero V3r2.
Thanks
P.S also how can I get TouchPal to work it always gives me an error.
Thanks again

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. Thanx Nedlinin, I guess I phrased it wrong. Lol
Acutally, if it's easier, you can maybe point out a tutorial or tell me how I could pull out the camera apk from 1 rom and install it in another.... (?_?)

Yeah thats possible, i'll work on that when i get back from vacation..I'll take care of you. To get touchpal to work u just have to have touchpal the only one checked. Then ur set, no errors.
is it possible to customize a fast lag free rom and have it look like the hero.....i like the way the text messages and icons look also like the dialer and the menu.....but hero is so slow sometimes.....thx...
let me get Drizzy's NewVision_2.8 with bluetooth and paid apps working, or Drizzy's NewVision v3r2 with bluetooth and the keyboard working.
i would like a rom that when installed would add 96mb of RAM, would give me the ability to fly as well as to teleport. also i would like it to include a notification ringtone sampling the episode of the boondocks where ed and rummy try to kidnap oprah and ed says "*****es love smiley faces."
just kidding though the last would be cool lol.
but seriously though you are doing a great service for the community. keep up the great work and don't lose your patience.

fabioccoelho All works fine? Included Cam?
bluetooth and cam reported not working....
still its the BEST eclair 2.1 sense so far.. will dump everything else and start with this one...bluetooth will be fixed and cam drivers have been hacked "stolen" allthoe its still not included... i belive withind 1 week or 2 the camera drivers will be public
thanks for the port. will try.
works a lot better than previous expresso build, but still not ready for general use ;-)
what I've seen:
Email doesn't work: keeps on FC (showstopper for me)
caller application has issues
sync works
people work
thx, for the port, this will be a sweet rom once it works correctly
Pretty good rom and port. A lot of things still needs to be working before I will consider using this daily. First of all, the default messaging application is not able to find contacts when using the "to" field. You are however still able to send, you just need to use the people application. Google Sky does not work either, and I suspect a couple of others not working either.
Other than that it works pretty good. Some of the animations are VERY clunky while others are very smooth. Window prompt popups are very slow while scrolling etc. is very fast.
I look forward to trying this rom out when it's more usable. The camera drivers should also be out next week.
Thanks for the port
Hi, the rom seems to work pretty well, but definitely isn't ready for every-day use yet. Some nice new features (e.g. enhanced clock), and I really like the new lockscreen and the new homescreen makes more sense - Always bothered me how the menu launcher was so much smaller that the phone one, when there are so many ways of launching the dialer, and I use the menu much more anyway.
Shame about the bubbles, I guess...
[Edit] You don't need to worry about formatting the memory card, btw.
This is fantastic news!!! Looking forward to try this ROM when it gets updated!!!
- CyberQ
Great rom. Looking forward to any updates.
Can't get a USB connection on this rom though (No HTC synch, No memory card mounting on PC)
flashed this rom without sd partition.. nice work..
cant wait for cam and BT drivers
I thought the bubbles signified... glass enclosures... oh well, by the looks of it, it looks really nice. But I'm sure people will be surfing this thread looking for the words "general use = OK" and head to the download.
Hello again.
I couldent help my self, had to try it even when i knew that it has a lot of FC's
But i must say, this ROM is really...REALLY nice!!! It has great potential, and the eyecandy never stops, im really looking forward to this!
Is it possible to add some more IME launguage's? I would really love to see Danish for the HTC keyboard
Too bad that the original phone app doesnt work yet
Just to help others before they choose to install
On my device following things doesnt work:
Market - Wont get connection
People search - Has a wierd bug where the letters dissapears
People - Is really slow
Sense - Will often force close if you have the big calendar
Phone - Force close on number press
Messaging - Cant choose contacts in "to:"
Email - Loops a force close when try to open
Mount USB - wont connect
Cam - no drivers yet
Bluetooth - no drivers yet
Teeter - Force close No G-sensor drivers installed
Generally performance issues with a lot of lag
What works:
Tether
Wifi
Mobile networks
Browser
Google Maps
Phone (Partly)
What i could wish for :
Danish IME for the keyboard
Danish locale
Hope this helps to answer a lot of questions from you all.
Kindly regards from Thomas.
Yes, this ROM need some work .. but it is damn fine ROM.
Looks really nice
Hoping this is to be the UI for HTC Bravo
Really like the scene modes, where you have diffrent desktops for different uses.
Thanks for your effort
Slick rom excited about new updates. This will be great once it's refined. Thanks for the hard work guys.

Is there any HD2 alternative theme without sense?

I have been using LEO for almost one year. During that time, I discover alternative for HTC sense in ROMS provided here. Thing is, HTC sense eats up battery twice as much as windows default in Today's setting.
I don't really understand technical gizmo, so please be patient with me:
Setting => Today => Items
I tick Date, Wireless, Messaging, Task, Calendar, Windows Live, and Device Lock
That's all I need
As postings that are stickied mentioned, it is safer to use themes instead of ROMS (what with possible bricking the phone and so on and so forth); and I cannot afford another HTC now to experiment. I found that most themes also use sense while my reason to turn it off is to prolong the battery. I'd like to find alternative ways to improve my LEO appearance.
Do comment and suggest.
here you have a really very good alternative to Sense: JMLToday http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983928
sense turn off and on
Hi all !
I don't need replace for sense.
I would only wanna know how to turn off the sense, when i need for battery savings very bad
And then when i put phone back on charger, how to turnit on

[Q] Three Questions: RAM 768 MB / Apps 1GB / Swype

I’m just about to buy my first Android phone and after seeing a lot of reviews I decided that the HTC Sensation probably will be the right choice for me(compared to the Galaxy S2), mainly because I like Sense much more (Samsungs Email Client is a mess), the higher screen resolution is better for viewing pdfs (and any kind of small letters) and me feeling is that the Developer-Community is more with HTC than with Samsung (Cynagon!).
Now three questions still bother me (and please forgive me, if they have been discussed before, I searched in this forum, but wasn’t really successful):
- RAM 768 MB (G S2: 1GB): Is there any noticeable difference?
- Apps: 1 GB (G S2: 16 GB): Should I care? Or can I move most of the apps to the SD-Card?
- Swype: I like the concept and I didn’t read any positive reviews about HTS Trace. So the question is: Can I install Swype (the open Beta version) on HTC Sensation and is there a German language version?
Thanks for your help!
Peter
i wish someone would comment on the new facebook friendstream widgets.. like what new features does it have etc.
Q1: Not a massive difference no... its all fast and smooth enough and as long as you dont have EVERY app open at the same time you will be fine.
Q2: You can move to SD card anyway, and ofc can be upgraded to 32gb so thats fine.
Q3: You can installe swype beta as i have it on mine, and it work brilliantly
Hope i helped

I've added and "Edit" section under 'Sense' for the FriendStream widgets.
your first 2 questions have been asked/answered in multiple threads so you can search for those.
as for swype, here is their list of supported resolutions & languages & it looks like german isn't supported right now for qHD

[Completed] Problem with Cyanogenmod7 (2.3.7Ginger) on Notifications

Hello, my name is Sunicito from Venezuela:laugh:.
I've got a Huawei UM840 Known in my country as "Huawei Evolution 1", it is a very old and low-spec phone could only run Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread. I installed it with the CyanogenMod7, the rom and the installation guide was on a Venezuelan forum.
I've got to say the rom runs pretty smoothly and it doesnt lags (considering this phone stock rom is Eclair2.1 upgradeable to Froyo2.2 officially) so i am very happy with 2.3.7.
Everything was going fine with the phone and the rom but i have seen a problem with the notifications bar, specially when i slide it down, the notification letters show in dark as the background of the "sliding dock" so it is very hard to read what says unless i pass the finger trough it.
I Took screenshots for better understanding of my problem:
This is what normally happens when you slide the notifications bar: i.imgur. com/46hqPbp.png
This is what happens when you pass the finger trough it: imgur. com/EhHqzLl.png
So, my question is; what can i do to make those letters at least blank? i know CyanogenMod is very customizable and also this Rom came with ADWLauncher as stock launcher. I mean, its there any twerk that i can modify to get it at least readable?
I came to you becouse you know very well of these situations, i googled a lot but i didnt find anything.
I apologize for my bad english, im studying it so maybe in a future you will see a better understanding on my threads!
Greetings and thanks so much if you read this.
I hope that you can help me to find a solution! :good:
Good day to y'all people!

Unfortunately there is not much about your exact device on xda.
Here is what I found:
