It's going to be a lot more involved than just pulling the apk from the desire port and putting it onto a stock rom. I tried that out of wishful thinking when it first released.

That was the first thing I tried. Also tried installing the Contacts.apk from the Desire HD dump and still no luck either.
Decoded the apk and tried to take a little closer look at it with my very limited knowledge.. At the very least it relies on the htc framework from the HD.. So I could be wrong, but I don't see this ever getting ported on its own.

Hello all, let me start off saying that I just bought my first android phone ever. I tried to download apps for it using the "Market" app and the phone asked for my gmail account which entered. I have been able to download some apps I needed so far, but when I tried to search for the Netflix app, the one from Netflix Inc was not showing up.
So now I logged into the marketplace on my laptop using my Gmail account and when I try to install, I see an option to choose my device, when I look at the devices listed under my account, I just see a HTC Desire HD (which happens to be unfit for this app). So how do I get my device as Inspire 4G there gentlemen. I have never used a HTC Desire HD and have no idea why the marketplace is doing this.
Desire HD is same build like the HTC inspire.

Your Inspire IS a Desire HD (just rebadged for US) and that's what the market thinks it is. And as a side note, Inspire will not run netflix anyway (unless you've got CM7 build 77 or later I think).
Netflix isnt available in the market..... Yet

This is true
Apparently the update that's coming today for the TPGB ROM has netflix working as well (it's built off of CM7)
I don't get it. I just installed the device check disabled Netflix apk from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150) on a device that's a year and a half old (LG GW620 Eve) with less 238mb internal and can only be overclocked to 710mhz, and it's working fine. It's also running a CM7 based ROM released 5/14. Obviously our Inspire's are 10x more powerful than this, why doesn't it work?
Thanks guys. I just checked Netflix website for their supported devices list and found that HTC Inspire is not listed on it. As long as I am not the only one that cannot use it, I am good
Any chance Netflix is adding more android devices?

It seems that the stock Inspire and most of the derivative ROMs are missing a few libraries that implement the correct codec for netflix. I'm guessing a fix will be rather simple once the library files are figured out.

Right - being that it's working on CM7 and TPGB 0517 (according to testers), I can't imagine it will be long before all chefs are able to incorporate the proper files into their ROMs. The question is will there be an OTA update for non-rooted users to provide Netflix functionality, or is the Inspire just going to be forgot about?
I worry about the Inspire for the simple fact that it wasn't a groundbreaking device. Although it's an amazing device with which I would never want to part, it wasn't really offering anything new, which leads to my fear that it's going to be forgotten about by the bigwigs (HTC, ATT, Netflix, etc) before our devices have fully had a chance to shine...

It is my understanding, from all the tech sites, that Netflix is individually testing every single device. I think it has something to do with their version DMLA, or whatever it is. They will announce more devices eventually. They are just shooting themselves in the foot by testing each device one by one.

Not to hijack, but didn't want to start a new topic for this.
Can I go to the Desire HD ROM page, download and run those ROM's on my Inspire?

@David yes you can install dhd roms. Though you might have to install one of those audio fix like tinyaudio fix or turbo audio fix. If they are not allready included in the roms

I'm honestly not being a smarta** or anything but that was stated in several posts about 11 hrs and 30 min before yours. Keepin the thread goin is always good. Unfortunately around here in our forums I've seen several ignorant posters that cant seem to understand that the Inspire 4G is the Desire HD.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there are any find about that are Honeycomb based. Have been looking and only found one which did not work and kept force closing on setup screen.
Many thanks

no, i don't think there are any honeycomb roms for the desire S
if i am correct the honeycomb source code is not out yet (not sure about it though)
I don't think honeycomb will look good on a phone. Just because it's 3.1, doesn't mean it's better than 2.3. It's optimized for tablets. There isn't one phone that has official honeycomb running.

At least there's a Honeycomb theme for ADW.
I've tried Honeycomb on my original Desire, it was a very early port though so they may have gotten further in development now. As for my experience it looked nice and a lot of it worked but our screens are way too small to use it on a regular basis.
i don't know why u want a honeycomb based rom, maybe google just release it for pad, and android 2.4 will be for both phone and pad (i forget where i read it). and now, the roms for desire s i know are all based on 2.3.3, even not 2.3.4. so i think a honeycomb based rom just can be build from the source code, and waiting for 2.4. [i hope u can understand these words, i'm not good at english.]
the china android forum has the "no sense" +"android 3.0 theme"
is this u want?

I had an old HTC Droid Eris lying around so I used root explorer and transferee all HTC sense and HTC widgets over to my SD card that I am using on my SGS4G. When I finished and opened up astro file manager and tried to download the files it would say Application not installed. Is this because of the screen resolution difference or because of the different hardware? Any help to get this project working would be fantastic!

i mean...they are COMPLETELY different phones. different manufacturers and isnt the eris running on 1.6? it would have been great if it worked...but what were the chances? lol. this topic has been discussed, though. from what i saw, it cant be done by just taking them and replacing what we have. you can get third party apps, though. like beautiful widgets for the clock
2.2 froyo. But yea, I just thought it was worth a go. I have beautiful widgets but the original would kick
ass. Hahah thanks bro

Why not just use Launcher Pro Plus widgets? Much better than the Sense one as it doesn't have to refresh and reload every time.

It's both the things underlined.
And I'd personally love to have Sense running on my phone, but porting it is both practically impossible (according to many many developers), and not worth the time.
Even hardware-wise, porting a Sense ROM probably wouldn't be possible because of the sheer size of it (from what I know).
Hi there
Isnt it possible to rib the sens 4+ from an one x 4.1 leaked Rom? Id love to get Sense launcher on jb for example cm10.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Don't think its that easy. I was under the impression the framework from sense based roms wouldn't work with non-sense roms like cyanogen and such. Things may have changed though.
And isn't there some scaling issues with one x being a larger screen size and all....I'm curious as well

Yes it possible! However, I don't think anyone is working on it since the update for our phone is supposed to be out before the month is over. Don't make a bunch of sense to hack something together only for the official release to come out 2-3 weeks later.

It's not possible. Well it is possible but it would be unusable. The framework needs to be resized from XHDPI to qHD and that isn't even possible because of the m10 images that we aren't able to replace. If you didn't replace it, you won't be able to use any of the phone because everything would be too large.

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

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.

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.
