Hi, I have a an HTC Device but a custom rom that doesnt have a HTC apps or HTC sense UI.. is there any way i can install HTC Apps (HTC Camera, calendar, phone/dialer, etc..) to my non HTC sense ROM?..
i always get install failed if i install for example the HTCCamera.apk..
Most HTC apps are reliant on the Sense UI and other libraries which aren't there any more.
Never gonna happen. All HTC apps are part of HTC Sense and use it's framework for a lot of stuff.
That is why I always tell people: HTC Sense is NOT a simple launcher with special HTC widgets. It's a whole experience.
Then is it possible to put the HTC sense UI / HTC Framework to a non HTC Rom?..

Yeah.. It´s called a HTC Sense ROM
You're never gonna get the vanilla Android look with HTC Sense apps.
Without putting a custom ROM is there anyway to update the current sense to sense 3.0?
Currently no. Only by flashing a custom ROM.
quickest way to get sense 3 on your phone is to install custom rom,not possible by just adding to stock rom as far as I know.The roms i have tried with sense 3.0 elements are saga lbc,virtous unity and sergios coredroid some have more sense 3 than others just read the threads and make a choice!

Wait a long time until Htc firstly unlock bootloaders and then release further ota updates which incorporate sense 3 elements which they have said they'll do at some point.
But be prepared to be extremely patient.
Just go custom route..much easier.

Hello.
I'm looking for the modified HTC stock ROM that is wiped out of everything HTC bloated there/changed to AOSP apps. I don't want any of the HTC apps, sounds, icons, themes and lockscreen because I hate them.
The result should be the excellent stability kernel without anything I didn't installed myself.
Unfortunately, AOSP ROMs from kristofpetho or SelfKang do not meet the stability requirements and atm I have to pray to them to release something that will not annoy me with fc's of the apps I'm using.
Please, help if you can

Last I checked cdtdroid made a nice senseless version of pyramid3d
Melvin had made the beast Rom and senseless extreme. I believe they both used stock kernel. There is a video up on YouTube for the beast Rom. I think he stopped supporting them and went to the GS2 forums but they are pretty solid. I used senseless extreme for a while and it was great. But I had a sense calling again and am now on bulletproof.

Insert Coin new version 3.3.9 is with stock HTC kernel. Rom is pretty good.. Fast,smooth and stable..
Use the Revolutionary process (S-OFF, CWM & SU) on a Stock ROM.
Then use: ROM Cleaner - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217664
That way it's completely stock, just minus some stuff.
I'm looking for the modified HTC stock ROM that is wiped out of everything HTC bloated there/changed to AOSP apps.This is slightly more than difficult as they're based on different frameworks (probably the wrong term). You need to either go Sense (cleaned in some manner) or go fully for AOSP. I know that ARHD has a Senseless cleaner, not used it personally as I went straight to CM7 when it was available.
Unfortunately, all "no sense" variations of HTC ROM still keep the icons at least. Seems like it is just impossible to get rid of them.
Thank you for your answers. I'll wait for the stable AOSP ROM or the new Nexus - what will be released first.
hi guys, I come from an hd2....so I know cwm, android and the process of flashing...
but I have some questions...
are the 4.0.3 roms stable? have you got any suggestion for a good rom?
when I flash ICS from GB have to full wipe? I know that if I don't wipe the data/factory reset keep my personal data, but ICS is a big update...if I don't wipe my data will be lost? or the rom could not run the previous apps and read my data? maybe they are in a different folder in GB...or ICS...
doing the s-off, cwm and root my warranty expires...can I restore the phone like new without risks of bricking?....the procedure of s-on is really dangerous or is just for the disclaimer?
thx in advance. you guys are awesome
First of all, welcome to the Sensation family

4.0.3 roms are stable, especially now that the devs are using base 3.32. 3.32 will be the official ICS update for the Sensation so you can count on it for daily use

Generally if you're coming from GB or coming from other devs roms, a superwipe is recommended to avoid headaches. You can use apps to backup SMS/Call log and Apps+data. For apps+data, I recommend using Titanium Backup.

Based from what I've read, yes, S-ONing is dangerous and a couple of people have bricked their Sensations because they haven't followed instructions properly so there is an inherent danger doing it. (I haven't done it myself)
+ 1 to all the above!
And as far as roms go, it depends what you want:
*there is an 'official' HTC ICS build out there, if you want to keep relatively similar to stock sense then that is the one for you
*Virtuous Inquisition is the best AOSP (vanilla ICS) rom I've tried, it's not quite perfect yet (only a few minor niggles like the lockscreen music widget not showing up or not displaying the correct track, minor, but still slightly annoying) but is definitely stable enough for daily use, and is damn slick!
*my own personal choice and the rom I've been using for a while now is Darkforest 5.5.0 coupled with Nova Launcher from the market, it's now sort of a hybrid of Sense and vanilla ICS. Using the Nova Launcher means I can't use the HTC widgets (that I really like) but it does have a boatload more customisation options than plain old Sense.
Hope this helps at all

I shall be interested in this, finally made up my mind to go for a Sensation XE
swapping my Iphone 4 for one.
didn't want to go back to a Samsung Galaxy s2 prefer sense UI and used to have an HD2 also so great to see so many developers that used to work on the HD2 on this Sensation area.
Hopefully I will not be disappointed
i also need help if anyone can...my revolutionary gets stuck at the 1St attempt of fastboot, I also have hboot 1.18. debugging is on, fastboot is off, no HTC sync is installed that I know of &I used "universal naked driver beta" as my drivers for the sensation. what must I do now for me to get this s-off?

I want keep GB now, for compatible apps...
s-off s for unlock bootloader...cwm we know...rott (I don't need if I flash a custom rom...)...but do I need superCID for flashing? what is it?
hey, I don't understand some things...well, my sensation have the brand...this means I have to change my cid? for flash roms?
in my case, can you tell me what have I got to do for full unlock my phone and be able to flash anything I want?...
Vanilla ICS is the standard version of Android on the Galaxy Nexus (vanilla because it is plain, lol)

ok, thanks, but, some things are not clear....too many things....
change the cid is useful just if I want install a custom rom with customRUU method....right?
for install via cwm superCID is not needed?...
some roms need 4ext recovery....do you suggest me to use that and not cwm?...
I read about hboot....it's the system partition size, right?....have I got to change it for flash some roms? if I do something wrong with hboot I may brick my phone...

Hboot= bootloader. Messing around with it can brick your device , if you don't know what you are doing. There are firmware upgrade files that include hboot+radio and are needed for some roms to boot.
Supercid is needed only if you are messing with firmware upgrades and ruus. That has to do with regions.
4ext is a recovery fully compatible with cwm. It just has a nicer ui.

OK, I recently flashed a HD2 for a friend so I know where you are coming from:
1) Do super CID, it is an easy process, with no risk , it does not break your warranty, and it will save you problems (soon you'll update to ICS and it is better to be super CID).
2) I did S-on myself after being S-Off to return my phone for the dust in screen issue. The process is fairly straightforward and if you follow instructions correctly there is no risk. The risk of bricking exists if you do things without FULLY reading all instructions.
3) No need to mess around with system partitions etc. Sensation is a phone that has plenty of space for current ROM's and apps so the flashing process is much simpler than with HD2. Just use your favorite recovery, wipe, and flash... as simple as that (of course, I am talking about GB, to upgrade to ICS the process is different).
4) I suggest you use 4ext, as you say, some dev use it because it gives you the option to make selections during the flashing process.
ok thank you all....
there are so many roms, but....I can't find what i'm searching...
I want try 3 type roms:
-an ics galaxy nexus
-a sense 3.5 without any....UI customizations, bootscreen ecc, I have flashed 5 minutes ago a 3.5 with transparency, custom icons and other features I don't like....so, I want a stock like rom
-an ics 3.6 sense stock like....
how I switch from cwm to 4ext?

Just to clear it up, Virtuous Inquistion is not a true AOSP ROM. It's just a sense-based ROM themed/modified to match ICS

True, but it does a pretty good job of it, the only things of Sense they have left in are things that either didn't work from AOSP, or things that were better than the AOSP counterparts. Off the top of my head I think all I noticed was the camera, there may have been more underneath the operating system I wouldn't have noticed without looking, but it's still as close as you'll get to vanilla ICS on a Sensation at the moment
Hi,
I just bought the HTC Desire S and I was wondering whether it's possible to upgrade the HTC Sense to 4.0 without rooting the phone? The HTC Desire C is running HTC Sense 4.0 so I'm pretty sure the Desire S can manage it easily. So is there a way to upgrade to HTC Sense without changing ROMS and rooting and stuff?
Thanks
Upgrading the phone = changing ROM.
Official ICS has bugs that are impossible to fix without root.
No such thing. Sense is an overlay built on tp of Android. You cannot simply change Sense without changing ROMs.
