HTC Apps - how to get them on Magic?

Hi, I have tried nearly all roms on xda-dev. The Hero Rom rocks totally - still to slow on Magic...hope for some optimized Roms.
But, what about the great htc apps from Hero? there must be a way to get them on other roms... One has to be able to export them.
With the HTC apps you have not to much of this google-stuff onboard, possible to have your OWN calender and contacts etc. You have Ms Exchange and many more options...like taking of 3g-connection! No words about the camera, it's rockin!!!
So would be great to have some guys thinking the same and want to do something about that.

The main thing preventing the apps from being ported directly are the Hero specific add dependencies. The apps seem to make require different libraries than other roms, probably due to the high level of integration with Rosie and the Hero rom. As an example, Peep won't install since it's missing shared libraries.
Maybe once we can understand how the Hero rom is structured better, then we can start porting apps.

How about this as a starting point

Seems like a good place to start, I might have a go later if I have time, sure there is someone else who'll give it a crack.
My personal favs to port would be the music player, the browser, and maybe people. At least we'll have flash in October anyway so thats not worth it yet

Cyanogen has the Camera ported perfectly to his build for the Dream. I think we NEED this ported to the Sapphire. SOON!
Anyone know what dependencies we need?

I ported hero´s camera to ION ROM, but when you try to play a video in the gallery force closes.

yeah, that's a great example! So will these days go back to a modified Vf. Rom and check my exported hero apps...

TV Out in CM6 suggestions

I started playing around with invisiblek's mashup on CM6 test 8 and the tv out function, and am seeking advice/suggestions.
From what I can tell, on a stock ROM the TV out functionality is provided by system/app/TVOUT.apk and a system/lib/libTVOUT.so
I realize this is a crapshoot here, but I've tried copying these files from both a 2.1 stock (the YASR 1.1 files) and from the deodexed Froyo OTA (8/1 edition) to their appropriate places on my phone, with no luck. The app doesn't show up in the app drawer, and when I try to run it through ASTRO I get the error "Activity not found - com.htc.android.tvout"
I glanced through the manifests of all of the leaked stock Froyo HTC apk's and I did not see anything else that should provide that activity.
I'm wondering if somehow I need to link the library (akin to a ldconfig on linux) - or maybe I'm just wasting my time here?
Thanks!

I have no idea how to help with this, but I just wanted to say thanks for working on it. There are a few of us out there that do use the TV Out functionality

[Q] Building Eclair from the Samsung Captivate code drop

Has anyone actually succeeded in merging the Samsung eclair code into the android-2.1_r2 tree and building a viable image that will run in the emulator (let alone the device itself). I am running into libwebcore.so problems, specifically with the nativeSetUploadFileName function that Samsung added - somehow the emulator didn't like it and said it wasn't found. I am now building a generic android-2.1_r2 to see if that can load in the emulator in case I am just messing it all up.
I downloaded the android-2.1_r2 source, and just copied the whole tree onto the eclair tree from Samsung, leaving the Samsung code in case of conflicts and the tree built fine. But loading the image onto the emulator just crashed at startup with the libwebcore.so problem due to nativeSetUploadFileName not found problem.

Looks like Samsung did not put out the changes they made to the frameworks webkit java files for the native functions they added. So I am slowly adding them into the relevant files by hand, recompiling, finding the next missing symbol, repeat...
Till now I've found the following missing from the java files:
In WebView.java:
class WebFeedLink
nativeGetWebFeedLinks
nativeGetWebFeedData
In WebViewCore.java:
nativeSetUploadFileName
nativeHandleMultiTouchEvents

Screw it . . . need to find the implementations for WebFeedLink and WebFeedData that Samsung added but didn't put out in their eclair dump. Maybe the Vibrant or just the plain GalaxyS dump would have them - taking forever to download those.
No luck. Vibrant source dump is a lot smaller, missing a lot of files that the Captivate and GalaxyS dumps have. And both the Captivate and GalaxyS eclair are missing the same files so can't pull from one for the other. Pain.
Just commenting out the nativeGetWebFeedLinks stuff, can't see where it is used in the code anywhere. Possible that it is used by one of the Samsung apps that they didn't release the code for - like the SocialMediaHub thing.

The reason I'm trying to just build Eclair is because if I can do that, I'll be confident that I have everything that I would need for Froyo to work. I can build vanilla Froyo, but am not confident it will use everything on the phone right now!

Keep up the good work! If i knew at all how to do that kind of stuff i would help you. But i don't . Im here for a tester if you need one

You should contact samsung. Others have had responses from them when it comes to kernel code.

Wrote to Samsung - no response yet. I'll keep at it in the background, and hope that the Froyo source release will be better! Am a little unhappy that I can't build Eclair with a merge of the Android Eclair sources and Samsung's sources that actually works. The problem I am running into now has to do with the Calendar app dying because of a missing subscriberFeed provider and the Calendar app is the one I want to fix on my phone so that it doesn't always use the "My phone" calendar by default when that calendar is disabled!

any updates?

Nothing from Samsung. I've put this on the backburner until wes gets the Vibrant up with Cyanogen and will start hacking in that source tree to get it onto Captivate.

[Completed] Samsung galaxy s2 freezing when connected.

I use my samsung galaxy s2 to watch movies on other devices. I connect it to my dvd player, and in the dvd player. Select the movie that is located on my phone. For some reason, when I'm connected to dvd player, computer, my phone will freeze up for a few moments. Work. Then freeze again. It is rooted, with cyanogen mod. If there is anything coding I can add to it in order to fix this. Or maybe an application. Or something that will fix this. It will be much appreciated. You may email me in order to inform me. Idk if I will receive the response threw email unless emailed too. I appreciate your time and help even if there is no fix for this.

Hi,
We need more device details to point you towards help. There are several S2 models.
But I can say that many glitches will be present on anything above official 4.1.2 touchwiz firmware. If you're having troubles, it's probably best to flash the latest official stock firmware and see how it is. If it's OK, then it's a rom issue, and you should ask for help in the thread you downloaded the rom from.
Thanks!

[WIP][In-Dev] KinderCracker [S6][Sprint]

Hi guys, Im new to XDA and I want to show you my creation, [this app is made by Linux systems and processed through C++ and java]
WORKING IN PROGRESS
What is KinderCracker?
Well, KinderCracker cracks your sprint mobile with ease. No need to hack or modify, (YOU NEED FRESH S6 TO MAKE THIS WORK) it usually controls your phone then Cracks it. You can uncrack it by just our app.
How does it work?
KinderCracker detects newly bought phones, or you can just Wipe Data on phone. It will force inject a file we call "dev.crackjinput.file" and we will add superuser soon.
Requirements?
Works on:
- Sprint S6
- Sprint S5 or lower
- S7562 Dous
- Google Nexus
It is still buggy and we hope that you seek this app in the future.
We do not require you to donate, but if you do so, that would be really appreciated.
NOTE: WE ARE SPENDING MONEY ON THIS, AND THIS IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT. WE SPENT HOURS AND HOURS TO BUILD THIS. AND THERE ARE CHANCES THAT WE MIGHT STOP THIS, THERE IS A CODE THAT IS UNFIXABLE. HOPE TO SEE THIS!

Edit:In short, this app automatically cracks your S6 and roots S5 or lower. You may have to choose what kind of version you are.:good:
