Adding a specific app to a ROM - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok I'm in the process of building my first ROM for the shift. I am starting with an AOSP, but am wondering if I can add an app to it that is sense specific, from what I've seen. I use the fm tuner app on my shift everyday at work and want to put it on the ROM I'm building. Does anyone know if this will work or am I stuck in try it and see mode? Thanks

Nope, unless you are extremly talented, but it won't work to just drop the fm radio app into system, but search the market, you may be able to find a free alternative that would work with AOSP. I would really like to get the HTC music app on AOSP but it is not that easy.

Sense Apps will usually not work on AOSP unfortunately. If it's possible, it will take some work. But if your looking for an FM Radio Tuner, the Port I did has one. You can try it, and see if it will work for you. Bilgerryan I'm with you on the HTC Music App. It's the one I like the best.

Thunderbolt apps htcconnectedmedia.apk and htcdlnamiddlelayer.apk

My buddy got a HTC Thunderbolt and was showing off its ability to stream video to the TV via windows media center using this connected media app.. he stated it also used the dlna to connect as well. Any chance these can work on the Evo?

I haven't tried it with these apps but I believe this feature is already available on the EVO via a similar app called iMediaShare Premium.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/imediashare-premium/com.bianor.amspremium
[EDIT]
I just tried to install these apps on my EVO running CM7 RC4 and it won't let me install them. I then tried to use root explorer and placed these apps under system/app folder and did a reboot. Once it rebooted, I tried opening up the app(s), it just opens and closes up again. I think they might be something going on with the lib files or whatever. Maybe someone can try them under a sense rom.
I believe those very apps are on warmZ and mikZ roms.
No dice on sprint lovers
Do they have the libs?
You shouldn't be able to install via root explorer I believe you have to push.
They come with and work on mikz
Thanks for your replies and info. I ran WarmZ and MikZ both and never even noticed this app on there. So I guess what I am wondering is if they can work on the Evo, what do I need to obtain from my friends Thunderbolt to make them work on a "Non Z" ROM? Or is it even possible for them to work on a standard Sense 1.0 ROM?
@mazdaraider23 Thanks for the recommendation of imediashare.. pretty cool program, but I'd still like to try and get this Connected Media working.

So if I could talk one of the Devs into including these apps with a Sense 1.0 / AOSP ROM they could cook in into it and it would work that way?

My recommendation would be if you're going to see about a Dev including these apps in a rom is go and find Virus and PM him about how to get these apps up and running. If they do require to be added on to a specific rom then he would able to tell you. The guy is very knowledgeable in this kind of stuff! Stop wasting your time talking to random people including myself.......GOOD LUCK bro!

Try virus inspire 4g port or bos inspired i've seen that app on both of those roms for sure
sent from a EVOlved device modded by the Borg.
Since it's an HTC app, it most likely requires the HTC/Sense framework. That means it would be a no-go on most AOSP ROMs because they don't include that framework.
OTOH, if it only required specific libs, you could possibly work it into an AOSP ROM.
I have PM'd Mik and Virus to see if its possible to get an installable package made for the app but have not heard back yet.

I think we'll have kernel problems, but that would be awesome. Apparently the Desire Z Gingerbread kernel works well on the G2, but the Desire HD Gingerbread kernel does not work well on the MT4G. I wonder why.

Yeah, I would think porting a fully functioning Sense 3.0 rom would be at the top of the devs' lists right now. It's hot, it's new, and whomever brings us the first working version will be heralded as the "dev of the hour" - and receive endless thanks from us flashers!
I, for one, know that if/when this becomes available, it'll finally make me flash back from AOSP.
There is one about 95% functional....thats a secret though.
I'm workin' on porting it right now and will post a link up in Dev section hopefully before the end of the night. keep in mind it'll be an alpha release and will most likely be some bugs to work out. Basically this is a coming soon post
EDIT: Not releasing on here due to not wanting the dev section to be filled with these

[App] Sense 3.0 Lock Screen

For those of you who like/love the lock screen of Sense 3.0 then this app is for you. Its called Agile Lock and it has tons of options/settings for things such as changing the font of the lock screen, of course being able to have the 4 app shortcuts on the lockscreen just like Sense 3.0, and much more. I spoke to the dev/one of the devs behind this masterpiece (Bo Zhang) and he seems pretty cool and he said if I/we have any ideas to help improve this app then feel free to email him @ [email protected].
This app can be found in the Android Market by typing in "Agile Lock". There is a free version and a paid version, but I definitely recommend buying the paid version.

Why doesn't it work? Try emailing Bo and tell him. I'm pretty sure he'll make it work. He seems very understanding. I emailed him about 2 ideas and he said one of the ideas will be implemented in the next release and the other will be in the one after that. I just finish emailing him. He's awake!
Edit: I just caught on to what you said. Sounds like its an issue with CM7. Maybe you can contact one of the devs and ask them how to make it work. They should be more than willing to make it work since CM is about personalization.

Did you restore specifically for this app or you just like the stock rom? I'm on the stock rom also and I personally don't have any issues with it. I honestly must of had one random reboot in opposed to 5-10 on Froyo.

restored to try the app out but i will say cm is my home but on the other hand stock ota is imo pretty effin fast ,it might be the same kernel build (number) as froyo, its not the same kernel if u think about it tho u know? u cant use fauxs stock lg kernel on it and i know its gb, but i think they did things to it cuz its definitely the fastest rom out. u touch and it goes, so idk i might give this a shot now that kingdavid63 has a nice theme for it and this lockscreen its pretty sweet

XDA member Sarni84 mentioned that same issue. I'm on the non rooted Gingerbread OTA so I can't check right now plus I'm at work, but when I get home I can extract the CM7 file to my computer and search through it. In the meanwhile go to the CM7 posting and see if anyone has found a solution or can find a solution. I usually get home around 5-6pm Eastern.

One other question is I think facebook sync was never working right for me before on Eclipse and I had to download a separate facebook sync app to sync my facebook apps. Is that issue fixed in the latest version of Eclipse?
I'm fairly certain all of the AOSP support it but whether its included is another story. Liquid RC9 its not included in the rom zip or gapps zip, whether this was done on purpose or not i have no idea, my guess would be that its not included because it lowers the overall size of the rom, but again that's just my opinion.
Those looking for a zip file with it, slimbeans has a download on his site for just the faceunlock, now whether this will work on other roms and/or cause any issues i have no idea, i haven't tested it because its not something ill ever see myself using, but again you can try it if you'd like. You can download it directly from slimbeans site from this link

Awesome! Thanks I might try this because I just flashed to Eclipse and it looks like the Facebook contact syncing still doesn't work and also I like the keyboard that is used by LiquidSmooth ROM a lot better as it includes things like ?, ., etc. on the first keyboard where you can long hold a key to get the punctuations. I do like the fact that LED is working on Eclipse though as it does not seem to be working on Liquid.

Making Original Apps Work on JB???

I have searched but am coming up empty so I started looking into the apks but I am not sure what exactly I need to change to make this work...
I would like to make the original FM radio work so I pulled the apk from the original, factory boxed ROM and tried to put it on my Paranoid Android 2.99. It installed but it just pops up with "Unfortunately, FM Radio has stopped"
I want to use the original email app as well because it has the peak/off peak feature.
I can get the apps to install but not run. I tried to remove the app that came with PA and then move the factory one into it's place but that did not produce any different results.
I am not afraid to open files and edit code but I really need some help as to where to start, if this is even possible.
Thanks to anyone that can help!
