Hi,
I accidently removed few (actually almost all) widgets from my HTC Sensation with tool ROM Cleaner. I created my own list with exceptions for those widgets but i put it in bad folder (ROM Cleaner instead of ROMCleaner). I have no back up.
I was looking for solution but I found nothing.
Does anybody know hot to get back widgets SMS, emails, contacts, weather and photos (that's all I need).

If you are running a custom ROM just re flash the ROM and it should re install the widgets.
I'm using official ROM.
But you gave me an idea. Probably the best solution will be some custom ROM. I will install Android Revolution ROM.

is it possible to push STOCK Contact and Gallery APPS to the desire ROM? i have the KingXKxNexus Desire ROM but i would like the stock contacts app as well as the gallery as they run much quicker and are really smooth
so would it be possible for me to replace them with the stock ones?
also, can someone create a launcher for desire roms that would replace the "add widget" button by either contacts or web browser?
lastly, i've searched all over this forum, but i havent found any transparent notification bars for desire roms, are there any? or can some be made?
i know that you can push the 3dgallery apk , just find it here on the forums... also i know that with modaco's you can bake your desire rom with the default contacts... i was using alpha 10 with the default messaging and contacts and it was sweet.
how do you do that?
What's the advanced command to do so?
Also, where can i find the gallery messaging and contact apk?
Will I also be able to uninstall the HTC apparently like contacts etc? Customer I don't want to have 2 contacts app
does anyone know how i can push stock android apps like contacts and messaging to Desire ROMS so they'll get replaced?

you can just adb push and push the .apk files no need to replace they can coexist.
i know its possible for them to coexist, but i'd prefer to only have 1. (the stock)
do you think it would be possible?

hmmm
i'll check it out
thanks!
i used running the damagecontrol rom and its a great rom but i'd like to have some of the htc widgets and apps back like calendar, music, etc.
i checked out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588351
and the apps don't seem to work i'm assuming because i'm running 2.1 and those are 1.5 apps.
anyway where can i find htc widgets and apps for my phone?

On another note, I flashed DC2.06 yesterday, and the default HTC Widgets and Apps were there intact, so I'm not sure where yours went..
im thinking you may have flashed the "lite" version of DC instead of the full one in the actual DC thread

good call man thanks
So I will try to organize this thread so most important stuff (request) is on top, and my rant/explanation of why I want this done will follow. Warning: I know I tend to use a lot of run-on sentences...I'm just long winded
Attached are two stock (I presume) .apk's that I pulled out of Cyanogen's ROM that I have installed on my stock 2.1 ROM. I prefer these two apps vs. the HTC versions, but each have one small issue.
1) - DeskClock.apk will FC if you hit the Music shortcut. I am assuming that this is something simple, like it's trying to call up the wrong program? Can this be written to launch the HTC Music App, hopefully eliminating the FC?
2) - Gallery3D will FC if you try to launch the camera from within the app. I am once again assuming (more hoping, really) that it's trying to launch a camera app that doesn't exist in the stock ROM. Can this be written to launch the HTC Camera app, hopefully eliminating the FC?
I would try myself, but after downloading and installing Eclipse, JRE and the Android plug-in, I still feel like this is over my head at this point, as all I have is very limited Visual Basic experience. Would someone mind doing me a favor and updating those apps are reposting them in this thread so that myself and other like me can use those on our stock 2.1 ROMs? It would be much appreciated
Now for the rant:
I see a lot of people with differing opinions on HTC's Sense. Personally, this is my first Android phone, and I have found that I actually like SOME of the Sense apps. I dont really have a problem with the launcher (though I have replaeced it with ADW.Launcher), and I feel that apps such as People, Camera, and Phone are somewhat superior to what I presume are the stock Contacts, Camera and Phone apps, respectively. And then I wonder why HTC created some of the other apps they did that seem somewhat....lacking.
1) The "Photos" app is very boring and plain. I mean, I appreciate the Flickr and Facebook integration (which would be useful IF I used them), but why could they not have just added this functionality to the already awesome 3D Gallery? I would rather use the stock Gallery app, and even though the file I attached (see:Gallery3D.apk) doesn't have a functioning camera botton, I still prefer it to the Photo app. Plus, it pulls in my Picasa photo albums
2) The DeskClock app HTC included on the incredible is fine for the most part, but I don't like the small clock font and the fact that it takes FOREVER to launch, whereas the stock DeskClock.apk is instant to load, has a much larger font, and does other things I like better; like keeping my wallpaper visible, and is softer to the eye. Once again, I appreciate the added features of HTC's clock (Worldclock, Stopwatch, Timer), but I don't use them enough to make me like this program more than the stock one.
So that is why I am asking for those to be edited so they'll run on my stock ROM. At least until we start seeing some FroYo love
Also, if anybody knows, why did HTC replace the Messages app with one that exchanges the ability to set conversation limits (e.g. 200 messages, then auto delete) with one that uses Facebook for contact icons? I still use the HTC Messages app cause I like the pictures transferring over from Facebook (or the People app, which is updated by Facebook, and hence why the People app I like BETTER than stock), but why leave out any message bulk control? Anything over two or three hundred and my phone really starts taking a long time to open the conversation...
Alternately, once CyanogenMod's ROM becomes more stable, I would love to switch to it if I could bring some of the Sense apps along. Those would be:
1) People - with fully functioning updates and photo shortcuts to Facebook and Flickr
2) Camera - I like the added features...and the fact that it already supports 8MP, whereas (as of CM5.0.8 Test1, anyway), the camera app would only do 3MP
3) Phone - again, with correctly synchronizing contact pictures and speed dial, just like in our stock ROM.
I haven't actually tried pulling these out of the stock ROM and installing them in CM5, but I'm assuming I'd run into issues with the Facebook/Flickr sync...

attached is a gallery apk that doesn't have the camera issue. and also I attached the stock music apk that is need for deskclock.
Anything from Sense requires the htc framework which you are not going to find in any Cyanogen or vanilla ROM and there is no work around.
The vanilla DeskClock apk (with working music button) and 3D Gallery (with working camera button) already exist in other threads in this forum. Just search for them. You will also find both of those apps in any plain vanilla or cyanogen rom that is made.
As for the phone and contacts, the vanilla ones are much better imo than sense. You will not miss the lag.

Thanks jitajt! Those fixed my problems. Im getting to the point where I'm fairly satisfied with everything about the phone. Just got Hydra's OCUV+N kernel installed and it's working great.
I have the opposite request of this thread actually; I need the HTC DeskClock files from a stock 2.1 sense ROM. Would anyone be able to post it please? Thank you in advance!
I miss having the timer and stop watch functionality that comes with it. My laundry always winds up sitting in the washer and dryer far too long without me setting a timer
Hello. I did a search for AOSP DeskClock and this is the only promising thread I found. I'm using an HTC CDMA Hero. Does anyone know if this is or isn't safe for me to use?
Also, do I just push to /system/app?
I don't know about you guys.. but the sense gallery loads up MUCH FASTER than this gallery 3D. UNINSTALLED
I have both apps in my rom and are runing fine

Camera FC
Hey Thanks jitajt!
I've been trying to get this to work on my samsung spica for a few days now.
But now the camera button (upper right) is giving me an FC error. It's because the camer app I have is SamsungCamera.apk NOT the stock camera app.
Could you provide the stock camera.apk for android 2.1?
Thanks.
[size=+2]MINI-SENSE[/size]
Mini-Senseless is a stripped down version of the excellent teppic74 ROM. It fits the "Bravo Sense" AlphaRev partition which gives me 213MB free on data after install, which is plenty enough for me. I've been using this ROM for several days now and haven't had any problems at all. The battery life was also very good.
This ROM was made for my personal use only but I decided to share it because someone else could also find it useful.
Enjoy
Highlights:
Exactly the same as teppic74's ROM v3.1, only lots of applications removed
Fits in 180MB system partition
213MB free on data
Most of the removed applications available on market
Good battery life
What has been changed:
Removed Rosie launcher and all Sense widgets
Removed most of the social apps - Facebook, Peep, FriendStream, etc
Removed all Google apps that are available on the Market - Gmail, YouTube, Maps, etc
Removed the RSS reader
Removed the HTC keyboard
Added Zeam as the default launcher, install another launcher if needed
Added the standard Froyo keyboard
... that's it, I think
Download:
Mini-Sense v1.0 (mirror)
Installation:
Flash "Bravo Sense" HBOOT partition. Instructions are found at the AlphaRev site.
Flash the .zip file from recovery. Erase /data and /cache partitions.
(optional) Flash this addon (mirror) to enable trackball to wake the phone
(optional) Install any of these teppic74 addons: (HIGH) POWERSAVING MODPACK, MINOR TWEAKS, RESTORE BOOTSOUND, A2SD+, SD READAHEAD
Warning:
Use at your own risk!
Do a nandroid backup first!
Do NOT install any addons that add files to /system (very little free space there)
Credits:
teppic74 - for making such a wonderful ROM
tnx for this ROM
I like newest things ....
testing it right now

Read the post before asking a stupid question
one small question: what brings an Sense ROM without the Sense "goodness" (Widgets, Rosie usw.)? There are enough "stock" Andoid ROMs!?
it gives you the other htc functionalities, such as linking contacts to fb accounts n pictures which is quite lacking on AOSP, if you miss the widgets so bad try LauncherPro, or stick to sense...
Is the linking funktion not a part of Friedstream?
Or is the Facebook provider a seperate part?
Has nothing to do with friendstream, its an HTC feature...
Sent from my HTC Desire
Its an HTC feature but it is also built into stock. The difference is that it isn't so aesthetically pleasing on stock.
But I think I agree with the above. I love the idea of a mini sense rom, but the Widgets are some of the best features of sense. Without them I fail to see the point in sense over stock? Plus, surely our memory will just go down again to stock once I install the Google apps I need which is pretty much all of them?
Great idea though

I had something like this on my to do list for a while before I was distracted by other things.
I really appreciate this here, thank you.

Now that is just perfect, I don't particularly like the sense launcher, so I tried using AOSP roms. I liked the oxygen rom since it's blazingly fast, it does have some issues that I can work around, but I cannot LIVE without the "People" app.
Now I realize why it's called one of the 7 wonders of the new smartphone apps
Sounds good. Been looking for something like this since Supervillain stopped being updated. I've been using Sense for the last few weeks so will see if i can switch over again. New memory card arriving this week so will try it out then.
Well, there are certain benefits even if you have widgets stripped off from a Sense ROM. For example:
- Stability! - all latest stock ROMs have different issues (light sensor, 2 sec delay, USB speed, reboots once in a while, etc)
- Dialer / People are more advanced than stock
- Little HTC improvements, like the dialog when USB is connected
- HTC lock screen, which I find more pleasant to use
- Camera app is better
- Album app is better than Gallery
- ... lots of other small things
I realize most bullets from the list above are a matter of personal preference, that is why I have stated in my first post that this ROM is made to suit my needs. If someone else finds it useful - I'd be glad to hear that... just take it as it is
Cheers
so this is a sense rom with some of the best parts of sense ripped out?
Thanx alot!! i appreciate the effort. One slight concern how is the battery life when compared to gingerbread roms as i am getting very good battery life on cm7.

I've been using this ROM for over a week now. Before that I was on Redux and Oxygen for several weeks. I would say the battery life is comparable. This is my opinion of course, your mileage may vary.

Not to me. I don't use Sense launcher, widgets, RSS, Peep or FriendStream. Everything else (Sense related) is included in the ROM (or could be installed later). If you define these as "the best parts of sense" then you'd better take a look at some of the other Sense ROMs available.
I want to go back on what I originally said. I have to say, I think the idea in principal is great - I just feel too many things have been cut out for my liking. I wonder, since you say you deleted all HTC widgets, does this mean you have removed the standard htc flip clock with the weather + weather animations? They are possibly my favourite sense features...? I would certainly give it a go if they were still in it, or would it be easy to add them back in?
Also, I currently use A2SD and never fill it. Would the extra 100mb or so be enough for me to make the jump onto this non a2sd rom?
One more question, can the mods from teppic74 rom thread mentioned in the first post also be applied to this rom? I would like to try some of the addons if yes. Btw the rom feels great so far. Thanx
Is'ent thos ROM possible without S-Off? cant get it to work, the S-Off that is...
I understand you cannot put the GB dialer onto ICS (because that would fix everything).
Does anyone know of a dialer that's clean and simple like the default dialer, but allows me to access my contacts without having to use another app, or am I just stuck with adding all my contacts to fav's so I can access the from the dialer? I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a better dialer than the dafault "Dialer | Recent | Fav" menu. Like replace Fav with Contacts (why it's fav instead of contacts, I have no idea.. updates seldom bring good usability/ideas).
Btw, I HAVE been searching for hours, I'm finally asking, because I'm tired of sifting through irrelevant crap, or useless results. If only I could put GB back onto my phone.

Flash CM10.1 or any of the other cm based roms here. They have the dialer and contacts linked.
