[Email] Email app like in the htc sense

I am looking around to see if i can find a mail app from htc sense or email widget that can do the same thing. Since it is really annoying to go into different email app everytime you need to see the email
any suggestions ?

This and the Photo Album widget I miss (well, I miss a lot of HTC widgets but there are pros and cons to Froyo vs Desire port)

Well i do not care about the port or the whole htc sense but i still want the email app to be ported out to nexus one

Try pure messenger widget in the market, it'll pull email from gmail or pop accounts, sms, facebook or twitter, so it can work like friend feed also, and if you use launcher pro our adw launcher, the widget will scroll just like in sense

I would just love the HTC Sense email. I can live without the rest of the Sense UI, but the mail app is just perfect for my needs.

the htc email app has no real gmail support, as far as instant recieving of mail. so it fails. But, I love the flicking of the messages just like the next guy.. I use pure messenger, there's nothing even close to as good.

Pure Messenger seems to be very decent but again there is no free version for it to try before buying. I will try to find some reviews online before i do anything ?

It's $1.50, if you don't like it you can get a refund

I thought it was $3 and good to know i can get a refund if i don't like it

is there no other email app that works like the HTC one, where I can access my gmail, my hotmail, my yahoo mail, and my exchange mail all in one spot?

[Q] Facebook for HTC Sense on no-sense ROMs

Is there anyway to get Facebook for HTC Sense running on a ROM that isn't a Sense-based ROM? I'm currently running TPGB, which is an awesome ROM, but all my Facebook contact pictures are grainy. I liked the Sense facebook app as well as the friend stream widget. I pulled both .apks and tried to install them manually, as well as placing them in /system/app, setting permissions, and rebooting, but they won't install. Is what I'm trying to do not possible or am I missing something?

Its a no sense rom......Keyword is "no"

If I'm not mistaken, HTC Facebook is only for HTC Sense Framework. You can't install/use HTC framework on AOSP roms. It could be ported to, but I don't think developers will waste time and effort.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It is a sense widget. Won't work on nonsense ROMS.
If you use launcherpro, it has a built in widget that is like friendstream. Hell it even looks the same. You could give that a try. You might have to get launcherpro plus or whatever the pay one is to get it. Not sure if it is included in the free one.
I use tweetdeck, free app works great.

This is what I figured - doesn't hurt to ask. Thank you for the informative responses. Darkside - thanks for the launcher suggestion. I used to use launcherpro on my old device, haven't had a need for it here though (until now maybe). Any other facebook apps that sync contact pictures better than Facebook?

Sense for no-sense

You should try this, it seems to be working in CM7, so it might work for you. Haven't tested it myself, going to try it tonight.

[Q] G2x + Sense 3.0 features ... is that even possible ?

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if some of the sense 3.0 widgets can be developed for G2x?? Atleast the sense 3.0 lock screen. Is it anyway possible or on the cards or should i stop dreaming ??

Its great to dream, but in this case you should stop dreaming. The G2x and sense roms has 2 different framework so it will never work and even if it could it would take tons of modding that wouldn't be worth the trouble. Its similar to trying to put a Ferrari body on a Mercedes chassis.

There's a app called "Go To Lockscreen" and it pretty much gives you the features of the Sense lock screen. Its a good app.

im not sure if you wanted sense for the same reason i did. i wanted sense for the dialer + messaging client. althought we probably wont get the sense dialer, there is an app called GO Dialer, and GO Sms that is similar to the sense applications. Stock android dialer SUCKS! anyways hope this helps

The lock screen, dialer, messaging client and contacts client are the only good things about Sense. The vanilla clients are boring with less features. What's cool about the Sense contacts client is that contact pictures are just there with no loading. The vanilla contact client lags a little bit and there is a delay in showing the pictures.

Sense has some neat stuff but most of it is cosmetic.
Launcher Pro already has some Sense-like widgets built in and are themeable. They look like Sense out of the box. You can also customize Launcher Pro's dock bar to match any version of Sense.
Go Dialer and Go SMS are popular because you can theme them to look like whatever you want. I've also used "Dialer One" which was a "HTC SENSE Dialer" Clone at one time. I think they've went down their own path since but still has the same great functionality.
Moral of the story, you can make you phone look and feel like a Stock-Sense rom without having the stock-sense rom.
And I think they're porting Sense over in the O2x forums (directed at the second poster). MIUI, Sense, and CM7 are the 3 roms that should be ported to every phone. Completely do-able though. Nexus One has all 3.... but maybe I was spoiled.

It was possible on my hd2 windows phone. So I would say yes, it is possible. That phone had a much bigger following so I will not say it is propable.

as things have been said, launcherpro, GoTo LockScreen, things like that can give the customized feeling of not being on stock android...

I think the problem is we are on a LG phone trying to port a HTC client, Samsung Galaxy series never got it to work fully, just my opinion. I am not saying it is not possible, I am one that loves options and would like to see it happen though.

You can find software that looks like Sense such as Go Messenger but there is no contacts client out there with the deep integration/features you get with Sense. The Contacts Client is the only thing I like about HTC and I have yet to see one done better. Just ain't going to happen.

Smh it is being worked on in the o2x forums therefore eventually it will make its way here... just give it time.

Stock android Dialer and Contacts app?

I just got the sensation today. (I'm coming from nexus one running cyanogenmod). There's really only a few things about sense 3.0 that I like. The camera app, the lockscreen, some of the widgets, and the quick notification widgets (although I like cm7's implimentation MUCH better). Anyways I'm hoping that once the bootloader gets unlocked we'll be able to get cyanogenmod on it, but until then is it possible to get a few stock apps on the sensation?
The only things from sense I'd maybe like to keep in a more "stock rom" would be the camera app and the lockscreen. Everything else I don't really care for. =\
I want the these apps.
* Dailer
* Contacts
* Gallery

U don't like the smart dialer? It's leagues better than the stock dialer...

I made the same transition as you. At first I hated the dialer and contacts, but they've grown on me.
However that gallery does suck total nuts. You can go in the market and download gallery 3d which is (as far as i can tell) the standard gallery you're used to. I'm using it and it feels right at home.
I absolutely can't wait until we can have CM7.1 on this thing.
Also.. is it just me... or are you totally missing the trackball? I keep trying to adjust the cursor with it when editing text just to get disappointed that it's not there...

No...I hate it. I've accidentally called the wrong person already because it doesn't ask if I want to call. Also it isn't showing contacts pictures when calling? Wtf? It just looks ugly to me compared to the stock android dialer. The contacts app is worse. AOSP contact app is so much simpler looking and just all around better.

I hate the gallery app, it sucks so much. Also i've taken a few pics that auto upload to google+ and it shows the date it was taken as jan 1st 1970. WHatttt?
I've only had it for 8 hours so far, and i've already done that at least a dozen times. I used the trackball just for going back a little to make corrections. Going to take a bit to get use to, but in time I will.
I can't wait for CM7.1 on the sensation. Sense to me is just ugly. I like gingerbread's status bar, and the notification widgets in cyanogenmod so much better than sense...It's ugly. Also I don't see the point of putting the recent apps in the pull down bar....
Good thing for launcherpro plus

I am also hunting for the AOSP style dialer...initially when the MT4G came out and was rooted you could just push the contacts/dialer apk to system/app and change the permissions and it would work. I have had no such luck with the Perma-Temp root on the Sensation...

I'm in the same boat here and can't stand the dialer or gallery. Thanks for the tip on Gallery 3d Picked this phone up because it looks and feels just like a larger faster version of the N1 and I figure it will be rooted sooner or later.

I guess it just comes down to what you're use to. I'm use to the 3d gallery because I've had the n1 since launch. I'm trying out quick pic though. Anything is better than the gallery app on the sensation. Sense really has left me a bit underwhelmed. The only things i'd want to keep from sense is the lockscreen and the camera app.

your right. I had n1 at launch too. I wanted to like the gallery cause it looked cool, but didn't function that well. Plenty times I has to reboot just for a pic I just took to show. I found Quick pic and been using it since

Lol @ that 3D gallery. I hated it on my MT4G and this gallery is cool IMO. Didn't like Touch Wiz on the Vibrant or Sense on the MT4G........flashed a 3.0 rom and loved it. So I bought a Sensation. I'm just curious to know why buy something you already know you don't like? To each their own.

Favorite/best dialer

OK, I've tried all the big ones, go contacts ex, dialer one, and TouchPal Dialer. Each one seems to have a unique feature or coolness to it, mostly go contacts or TouchPal, but they seem to be lacking or be incomplete... For example when using go and trying to edit a contact... You can't join multiple contacts together... If i was going to use a third party dialer I would want to freeze at the least the stock... With a third party sms app, i use handcent, i don't lose any functionality save for maybe the green dot.. But who uses that? Haha, so what in curious is, is out of all the dialers what is everyone's personal recommendations?

I'm still looking too.
My dialer has to be efficient to work with a large contact list (good search). I don't need integration with anything else than Google Contacts (no Facebook, etc). But I'l like some management tools, like 'call back tomorrow' with alarm, integration with a todo list, etc.

Well it seems that either some apps lack any editing or joining capabilities... Others seem to lack integration with certain things... Its small things but things that I as a whole always use... Its the one up the HTC sense launcher/dialer had compared to stock android... Sigh
