friendstream missing from 2.1's ?

so one thing ive noticed is this app missing in all the new roms any ideas

No one will be completely happy with what they have...
Dude, its a 2.1 ROM for a device thats supposed to only be working with 1.5 for now. Just be glad we have it working close to 100%.

Is there some reason you don't just install whatever you think is missing?

it was a simple question that's all no need to get your panty's in a bunch you must be one of the people who want's everything for free and won't donate you must like obama to lol. i was just curios as to why it was missin thats all if it's not out it's not out no biggie

you should just install it if you think it is missing, and while you are at it make a new rom for the rest of us

i've looked around and can't find the apk anywhere

What does (not) donating and liking Obama have to do with a ROM? Here is what I did. I took the base ROM, took out what I don't use, put in what I did use, and re-signed it to make my own custom ROM. The instructions are on this very forum. I suggest you try it.

I am not sure why this is not included in any of the 2.1 Roms it was in the leaked desire Rom that modaco ported to the nexus one.
I have already tried installing this to the Eris 2.1 and to the new Fresh 2.1 and it just FC's upon being started.
I am looking into why it does that but as of right now I have no idea.

I could be wrong on this but I am pretty sure that friendstream is part of the updated Sense that HTC is working on not an Android app. So this won't be out until we can get the new Sense working which I don't think anyone has had any luck with.

oops, wrong thread.

We have a version of the new sense already. Modaco ported the Desire Rom to the Nexus one that has working FriendStream and NewsReader
I am not sure what is causing them not to work as of yet.

my guess is that this is the reason why the "get more HTC widgets" thing doesn't work. maybe the friendstream and news widgets can be downloaded once they get the support for verizon customers ready.

[ROM] Senseless_EVO v.1.1 (not asop)

now rebased off rvu 1.3.1 so that means 4g should be a go
I removed all HTC widgets and most HTC/sprint apps except for the needed ones people messages music etc. Plus a few I happen to like
Big thanks to Keith and gbhil over at Android central for an amazing Rom to base this off of
Also gotta thank toast maejrep and co. For root
Wipe is most likely needed haven't tried to flash yet without
and yes you will keep root if you flash this if you used toasts method haven't confirmed unrevoked
Changelog:
1.1 now based on rvu 1.3.1 com.HTC.utility no longer fcs
1.0 based of rvu 1.0 all HTC widgets/apps removed except for messages etc....

Looks great! I will load this later!

I highly recommend getting adw launcher it'd amazing

Does anyone know where com.HTC.rosieutility is located or what on here could still be causing it to fc on boot it doesn't affect the phone at all its just annoying seeing that every reboot

A couple of questions. Will you still be rooted if you flash this rom? Does it still have the market or 4G problems of other roms.

Yup you'll still be rooted with toasts method at least never touch the unrevoked root
I have no idea about 4g I would say probably not since I didn't change anything in that regard
I'll get back to u on the market

Aw, darn. I thought this was actually an AOSP ROM. This is basically already what I've done to my stock ROM.

you will never get an aosp rom. 2.1 doesn't support wimax or the high video drivers. htc made the updates needed for those.

Good job. Thanks for the speedy contribution towards our shiny new evo rom collection I remember liking sense and aosp so i like both and i always wanted sense to run right. That was everyones complaint with sense. Well thats not an issue anymore. I thought i would be all on it, like with my hero w/o thinking.....well as soon as i got my evo i forgot all that i learned about root and why to do it....JK but i am very satisfied with it and i will wait until i can access recovery and rw to system from device before i do. I spent the whole time i had my hero trying to make it into a device like this.....well now i have it Gimme a week and i think ill go to work.......

Until we have fully functional aosp/froyo/2.2 you wont have a rom that will even work without a bunch of sense remnants wasting space on your internal storage and increasing rom size.HTC is a shiny ui htc used to lure in all the apple morons(no offense i used to have an iphone before my hero). and since they made the devices, they're plaguing software/htc sense is an integral part of the ruu they put together. This is the reason everyone always wants a non-sense rom or VANILLA. We will not have full function vanilla until toast or someone else here compiles an0ther makeshift kernel, or lastly when htc releases the source so that we can compile a kernel with the right device drivers, to give us a full function rom. It would be to say the least, very very very hard to just compile the right drivers for the htc device hardware, thus all the aosp/froyo with certain features such as cam, or 4G missing.......hope this helps you und3rstand what you are looking for a little bit more clearly. In theory, YOU or I could create the source code for the kernel and drivers. Is that going to HAPPEN?????????????????? Probably not. Dont worry though, we have toast, so we happen to have a head start in the race.....

search my name in xda search youll find PLENTY of inter3sting things ive said. Do your own homework before instulting me or anyone else please.I meant neither of you any disrespect. I was explaining myself a little better and when i put up the 2nd post i saw this. This is an open forum right? well thats my opinion and some info. If you dl'd the rom you would see all the sense remnants yourself, resulting in less thread clutter,simultaneously answering your own question. I was trying to inform you in my second post. And please do not disrespect me by asking me to shut up. I do not disrespect anyone here on xda nor will i ever, and i expect the same treatment in return. I am here to help,learn,and contribute. Sorry you took offense. I guess i just dont ask others for answers that are readily available to myself. I would apologize but you offended me. please do not reply here again, as your response will be ignored by me. apologies to readers for momentary thread jack.......now, back to topic.....

I noticed what you did when i looked. Just wondering, were you unhappy with your evo when you got it? or did you just make a new rom to give everyone another choice of rom? or maybe even your personal, like i do sometimes? Just curious.....
@ops. I never spoke ill of your work, jic you took it that way, im not that guy. I appreciate any contributions to the community and have spent months of my own time staying up finishing up things ive been working to complete my self in order to ul and share with the community. Needless to say, I KNOW WHERE YOURE COMING FROM. When i can give us a new choice of rom or theme i too will begin work.....

AOSP for Desire S

i did start this thread in the general section when i had fewer than 10 posts, so sorry about the repost.
i have been wondering if any work has been done porting aosp to the desire s or if anyone could point me to the proper tutorials on how to do it, though i will have little time to work on it during the next 3 months or so.
cheers

it would indeed seem that way. just pulled the cm sources to see if adding a new device wasn't too hard a task and it seems there already has been some work done towards porting it to the saga (aka desire s). finally some good news

Hope the port for Saga comes soon. Really look forward to getting rid of Sense.

NexuS has pretty same hardware. Even better cam..
I sold NexuS because I missed some of the sense things:
the stock dialer has NO t9 search - most dialer from market are crap or slow or somehow frickled on the stock dialer. Even old nokia do have a quick search option...
Stock contacts are ugly.
GAL (global adress list for exchange server) is NOT implemented in android 2.x - only in 3.0; but it's implemented since sense1 (hero)
CM had some issues - espacially with the notification bar/speed settings - on 2.3 - the new sense 3.0 lockscreen and notification bar are very good - so no need for CM at the moment - for _me_
So I deleted most of sense.apk from /system on my DesireS (all widgets, all "htc", like route66, amazon, stockexchange..) and do use adw-launcher instead of rosie (don't delete it cause is needed for lockscreen settings!) - but do have integrated company exchange and a good biult in dialer, cool contacts (with flickr and fb content) and nice lockscreen..

Sense is THE BEST ANDROID UI, EVAR. Don't know why people wanna "DE-SENSE" their phones. I'm gonna flash CM7 to see what the fuss is about , but sense 3.0 first Hopefully, the new official version of CM7 will come for DS too. I'd rather let the ports pass on...........

to each their own. i'm still waiting to see someone make a WebOS like UI for android ^^

I get the sarcasm, but well, imo WebOS is a really good os. It's too new and has veeeeerrry less apps. In abou 1-2 years maybe, it'll become as good as android is today.

had there been better WebOS devices on the market, i would probably have bought one of those instead. i've been told that app development is a lot easier than on any other platform. and as soon as i get some time, i might just look into writing apps for android.

There's plenty of HTC phones out there that are running custom ROMs and customised user interfaces that don't rely on Sense. It may be the "out of the box experience" as far as most HTC phones are concerned, but isn't that what all THIS (ie these forums) is about - customisations, and thinking "out of the box"? (no pun intended, haha).
If we all concentrated on Sense and variations on that theme then this community would be a much poorer one.
Peace

sense ftw!

Well, i love sense, but i am porting the cm7 just so people have the choose, and also to make the development on this device more alive
But personally, Sense is the thing!

So, bjballar41, uhh in regard to Sense and to the Market/Play question, is your Girlfriends phone rooted?

If the phone is not rooted, she might want to check for software/firmware updates. Sounds like she is still running froyo, android 2.2.

Uh, ROM version aside, there's a d/l for the play store.apk. Google it. I did that way back, b/c I was still on market 2.5 (I think)

But is the play store an improvement? I recently went back to a nandroid of the ROM I found most stable. I have the old market back and am loving it compared to the more recent veal they have foisted upon the unsuspecting masses. Yes, it may be a good idea to have the apk, but I won't install it unless my market stops working. My 2 cents.
Edit: Veal? Really? I typed "crap". Lol, autocorrect.

As it is stock ATT never updated the Inspire to anything past 2.3 with the older sense. It didn't even get the Sense 3.0 update HTC pushed out. This is the reason foe not having the lock screen. Unless you root it and flash a custom from it won't happen. The market maybe OS version dependet

I don't know about better. It looks like the 3.x series of Market. I will say that the 2.x Market I had had started having random times where it wouldn't connect.

What is the best ROM?

Hey guys,
Sorry but it seemed like this was the only way to figure something out. I've had my MT4GS for an year now and i've been trying on new roms since the day i got it. All in hopes that i would find one that actually works. I'm tired of all the Alphas and frankly i'm tired of them. It seems like everyone and their mother has an Alpha ROM out. I'm not making this up, maybe you guys have seen it too. A few weeks ago, someone released a ROM (Alpha) saying, the phone, the wifi, and the camera doesn't work. I was thinking, "why would you release this, what can the phone do with this ROM?"
Enough about my rants, these are the ROMs that i've actually used for a considerable amount of time and the problems.
Bulletproof- It had huge syncing problems and it would crash. (used it for 3 months)
Virtuous Inquisition- Crashed very often and the battery life wasn't as good, no trackpad support. (used it for 6 months)
Cyanogenmod 9 (Tried all Alphas)- Half the apps don't install from the market saying "its not supported on this device" (WTF??) (Used it for 3 weeks)
Virtuous Infinity- Loved it, not a big fan of sense but this was good but the connection kept dropping out, sometimes during calls. (used it for a week)
I got fed up and went back to Virtuous Inquisition. It was crashing but it was the most stable one that i've used so far.
all i'm looking for is one that has the basic functions and has a good battery life. I remember the days of CM7, where the battery lasted FOREVER. It doesn't have to be that good but as long as it is descent.
anyone have any recommendations?

What do you mean by crashing? I have used Bulletproof for over 6 months and it never crashes. It is the most stable rom I have found. Are you perhaps over or underclocked? That can cause issues. Also, there are lots of other threads that ask this same question, so why not post in one of those, instead of starting a new thread about the same topic that has been covered many many times.

Search function, maybe?

Just because it's labeled as an alpha doesn't mean it isn't. Some people just label it that so they don't have to deal with idiots when they complain.

Are you serious? Neither Amazon Appstore nor SlideME are equivalent to the google play store for number of apps. Meh.
I'm looking into getting a MYT4GS, since there seem to be no new phones that have a slide out keyboard, fast dual core processor and a screen with at least a 800x480 resolution.

Don't walk in and complain and then backpedal, saying that you were just looking for the best alpha. I'm not a developer, but I still think your thread post was a kick in the nuts.
You know what you're entitled to around here? Stock 2.3.4. That's it. Everything else is gravy. So sit down, open your wallet, and shut up.
There NEVER should be a rant about ROMs. NEVER. What sense is it to complain about gifts? Do you receive your Christmas presents and then proceed to take 30 minutes to complain about them?

I just have to say that the other app stores are not as good as play. It isn't about having the most apps. The apps from the Amazon store are not updated as frequently as the ones in the play store, and the developers are not getting paid properly, that is why the apps in the Amazon store are not as plentiful or maintained as frequently.

So, it is a big problem that has nothing to do with wanting the most apps. It is bad for the Devs.

The apps from the Amazon store are not updated as frequently as the ones in the play store, and the developers are not getting paid properly, that is why the apps in the Amazon store are not as plentiful or maintained as frequently.

So, it is a big problem that has nothing to do with wanting the most apps. It is bad for the Devs.

I also cited the SlideME market, which has frequently-maintained apps.

Well, I still think that not having the play store is a big problem. I want everything that Android has to offer, I personally like having books, movies, t.v. shows, mags, and apps at my fingertips one of the major reasons why I own a smartphone. Telling someone to get an Iphone because they want everything the Play store has to offer isn't really constructive or very nice. I love all the roms that our devs have made for our phone, but I choose to use Bulletproof so that I can have everything working that came with this phone. People value different things in roms, I think it is not appropriate to put someone down because they want the market. I would love to run one of the ICS roms, but for now the best fit for me is a Gingerbread rom because everything is working.

Hey guys,
I've had my MT4GS for an year now and i've been trying on new roms since the day i got it. All in hopes that i would find one that actually works. I'm tired of all the Alphas and frankly i'm tired of them. It seems like everyone and their mother has an Alpha ROM out.

I know why they are labeled Alpha. I am a developer myself.

OK. If you've:
a. had the MT4GS for a year,
b. are tired of all the "Alphas,"
c. are a developer,
...maybe you should make your own "Alpha." This place is called XDA Developers, not XDA whine-and-complain-about-alphas-and-say-I'm-a-developer-to-add-credibility-to-my-name. If actually ARE a developer, you should be ashamed of yourself for disparaging the work of the MT4GS devs.
You joined XDA to complain that xmc is trying to get stable Jelly Bean on our device? Seriously?
The MT4GS is one of the few dual-core phones that never received an official update to ICS. The devs here managed to get stable ICS on our device. They CHOOSE to share their work with you. You are entitled to nothing. You should know that. You are a developer, aren't you?
Actually, please don't answer that question. Nothing you say will change the fact that you joined XDA to complain about free stuff.

There NEVER should be a rant about ROMs. NEVER. What sense is it to complain about gifts? Do you receive your Christmas presents and then proceed to take 30 minutes to complain about them?

+1. It's ridiculous how ungrateful some people are.

No, I haven't checked it out in a while. I was just referring to the issue of the Amazon and Slideme markets being suitable replacements for Google Play. Didn't you say in an earlier post "CM9. If you're that worried about Play, just download either the Amazon Appstore or SlideME." ? I am confused as to why they would be worried about Play if it is working?
I will give CM9 another look as soon as I have some time. Also for the record, I am very satisfied with the level of development for this phone, and have never complained about the choices of roms. I just took issue with the whole market replacement issue.

I'm sorry if it came off like that. I didn't join this to complain. I was simply asking if anyone has found any roms that they would recommend.
When i said i'm tired, i meant that there are 20+ roms just here at XDA, and I dont want to go through each one for a week only to find out it wont work and i need a new one. So i was asking for RECOMMENDATIONS!
I wasnt ranting at ppl. I know how hard it can be to make a ROM. The ppl at places like CM, Virtuous and other places work their butts off to do these releases. And to pay my respects, i download them and test them thoroughly and send them reports about un-reported bugs that they might have missed.
.
For example, on CM9, you can't download apps like "Android Online Radio" and "Cessna 172 Checklist FULL". They (CM) haven't mentioned the problem, so i reported it to them.
and when i said im a developer, i didnt mean i do ROMs (There are other things you can develop FYI)
now all that put aside, i was ranting about one guy, who had that "nothing working" alpha.
Let me try it again before ppl start yelling at me... I want some HELP with ROMs. Could someone RECOMMEND me a ROM that is stable.
for exapme. rorytmeadows(first post), and yellowjacket1981 actually recommended ROMs. Then it was just bash on the new guy...
and yellowjacket1981, mine cashed every time i tried to sync my dropbox or facebook. Gmail was the only thing that synced without crashing.

Hmm, that is strange, I have no problem syncing my facebook or dropbox. Are you Son? if so did you flash the kernel through adb? My bf is son, and didn't flash the kernel through adb, and he had all kinds of problems until I flashed it through adb for him. I honestly have had zero problems running Bulletproof, that is why I have stuck with it so long.

Also, when you say it crashed, what happens? Did your phone reboot or what?
