ive got cyanogen 6.0 on my phone and its been working great. the only thing i want to change is i want my old calendar app back with the better looking widget as well and also i liked the sprint 2.1 in call phone user interface, you know the one with the long red endcall bar and just a speaker and mute button. i just dont like how the cyanogen mod phone user interface looks. and the calendar is a piece of crap compared to the original one that came with my phone. is there a way to get these back, but keep everything else cyanogen? i tried downloading a zip of the 2.1 software and moving the calendar apps into the cyanogen zip but it kept making me force close because there was a problem with the com.calendar.whatever file. can anybody hook me up?

Not going to happen for a while. What you're describing is Sense UI, which is not available yet for 2.2 Heroes.
Check out pure calendar or smooth calendar. As for the phone I prefer asop's because I no longer hang up on the caller with that huge end button.

The closest thing you can get to Sense Widgets is LauncherPro they have comparable widgets to re-Sense your phone as far as the dialer fo-get-about-it

Not entirely true ... DialerOne (free in the market) is a very Sense-like dialer in terms of T-9 searching for contacts, and actually is more expansive because of their swiping menu options. Check that out for a Sense dialer replacement.
I have finally gotten my Aria rooted and running with both Liberated FR008 and CM 6.1. I am looking for people who have tried both and why they decided one or the other. I like the way CM lets you customize the Mod itself but I miss the Sense widgets that the Liberated has on it. I'm hoping that some of you have found things within either Rom that I have not discovered yet to push me in either direction. Thanks for the help.

CM without a doubt. Yea the sense widgets are nice and fancy but to be honest, that's a small sacrifice for complete customizability.

Do you use a Bluetooth headset with your Aria? If so, then CM 6.1 fully implements all of the BT Voice Dialing features that have been added to Froyo 2.2, whereas HTC has not fully implemented all of the BT Voice dialing features. Both of these ROMs will launch the Voice Dialing app by pressing the headset button, however, the Voice Dialing app can apparently be started in BT mode which allows you speak the voice command through the BT headset. On HTC Sense the Voice Dialing app will launch, but it is not running in BT mode, so you have to speak the commands into the phone's mic.
Another thing I noticed is that HTC is not using the Froyo email client which allows for a combined inbox.
Other than that, to each his own. I am running CM 6.1, but I have installed the HTC_IME keyboard; it is the only thing from Sense that I really missed.
They are both excellent roms, but I must agree with the above statements. Especially since CM is coming out with 2.3 for Aria hopefully in the near future.
I liked the sense widgets as well but I was able to fix that craving with beautiful widgets and launcher pro. Life is good on CM 6.1.1. Now if I could just fix my exchange bug that keeps showing up every couple of days...
None. I would choose Liberated R012. Works flawless and it doesn't lag like the Froyo ROM. CM is great but the basic android looks horrible to be honest.
A few things keep me on Sense, even though I really like CM. Last time I ran CM6, it did not have copy/paste in the Email app or the Browser whereas Sense has it. Gingerbread seems to have better text selection, so when that's available for Aria, I'm there!
Also, Gallery 3D does not run well on my phone.
Lockscreen gestures on CM are a pretty huge feature for me... without unlocking the phone, I can draw a heart to call my wife, an H to call home, a C to activate the camera and a V to activate the camcorder. You can use a gesture to do almost anything on the phone, so these are just a few basic examples.
guys I am looking at rooting my phone, but instead of flashing a whole new rom onto it, can I just do the root and have clockwork recovery installed, then can I install just the froyo update ontop of what I already have on my phone?

There is no Froyo update for your phone.
so the froyo rom thats release and is used by attn1 etc isnt that the froyo update? Cause I heard its available in Asia atm.
Also without the update or flashing a new room, but rooting the phone and installing titanium backup etc, I know that I can delete bloatware apps using titanium backup, can I also move apps to sd without having froyo installed but as the phone is rooted, will it allow me to do so?
Thanks again

ATTN is a rom, it is not an update. You have to start from scratch. Also you cannot remove bloatware with Titanium or any other app.
Liberated, but without sense launcher. I love the way sense sync does it's job and keep my contacts updated with their fb and twitter. I know there is ways for this in cm but its not the same. I use launcherpro because sense launcher is kinda laggy.
You will probably get bored sense Widgets after some time. I just like clock and weather widget and there is absolutely the same known as fancy widgets.

That's the kind of info I've been looking for, did not know CM could do that but still investigating the Rom. Thanks for the info.

I agree that R012 seemed more stable than FR008, and a tad more responsive. However, R012 does not support app2sd so I can't have as much crap on my phone as I do now. I did slim down the FR008 ROM a bit by removing the Mail, MMS, calendar apps, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube as well as most the Sense widgets (you delete them from ATTN1's zip file before flashing).
I have tried CM6, many people have good things to say about it but the UI just seems so... unpolished for lack of better word. Yeah, this is eye candy, but I like the Sense eye candy. Having 7 home screens helps too. Last but not least, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to disable the home screen animation and it annoys me to no end so CM had to go. Credit where credit is due... it does seem very zippy on the Aria.

Lag? Maybe it's because I am using Launcher Pro but my phone moves on both FR008 and CM 6.1.1. Very crisp and very responsive. The only thing that lags for me is the gallery app in CM. Everything in FR008 is butter.

I second launcherpro! I paid for launcherpro and beautiful widgets and I don't miss sense at all. Launcherpro has a nice calendar widget(like sense) and a nice messaging widget as well as some others. Launcherpro is faster than sense for me as well. Beautiful widgets can look just like the sense clock/weather widget but with tons of skins to choose from. Both are worth every penny.

No, you can't. Titanium backup will not do this on nand-locked phones, even with root. Until S-OFF is available for the Aria, it is nand-locked.
The Froyo IS available for the Aria if you have clockwork - just flash LA FR008 or CM6 - soon CM7.

Soon CM7?? yay!
Sounds exciting. How long are we going to wait approximately for a RC version?

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to remove this annoying requirement when you unlock your screen. I'm liking Android, but I like how iPhone just logs you in as soon as you type in the correct passcode. I want my Android to do that too rather than having to hit "ok" each time I log in.
GT
are you just using the stock sense rom that came on the phone?
there are different lock screens you can use, and there are certain apps that can modify lockscreen behavior as well.
I'm using GTG's ROM (Stock Rom, rooted, S-off, HSUPA, sideload, etc).
I've looked around, but I don't see an option to disable "ok" requirement.
I'm hoping that there's a hack to make it not require that step.
Personally, I use widget locker. It's a great app for just a few bucks. It's available in the market. It's really customizable and works great on every device I've had.

I recently installed the Oxygen gingerbread rom on my HTC Desire, the first thing i noticed was that it is missing "smart dial" function (where you go to "Phone" and it gives you a keyboard to quickly filter contacts, image attached to thread)
( i have since switched back to 2.2)
Does anyone know if they plan on putting this back in? It is probably the single most handy part of the android OS.
Also, i also could not save contacts to "phone" , it didnt give me the option, is this taken out in gingerbread also?
Cheers for the help.
A lot of the roms like cyanogenmod and stock roms do not include smart dialling apps like HTC's. There are third party apps you can get such as dialer one and youlu.

can anyone let me know if there is a way to add the stock htc keyboard and phone on this rom?
The keyb that came with the rom is extremely difficult to type with, and the phone app, in order to dial a number i have to go to phone, then contacts, then search ...
while on the stock phone app you just only type the first letters of the name of the person and dial...
thks
Smart keyboard and smart keyboard Pro are very comparable to the HTC keyboard. I however, recommend using Swype. As for the search I use the Google Search / search button on my phone to search for contacts. Then when selected it brings up their contact card and can call / SMS from there.
Do a search for HTC ime keyboard I haven't tried it on CM7 but I know it works on other non sense roms.

No no HTC software will work on CM based roms due to missing and replaced drivers and framework files

He means it will not work. Confusing grammar
One dialer is similar to the htc one in that it has predictive dialing or whatever it's called... It's lighter than the other alternatives i've tried too. As for keyboard, i keep coming back to swift keyboard x. Highly customizable and better layout than htc. I can't type more quickly on this than on anything else.

Do a search for HTC_IMEI Mod Keyboard in the Market. It is a version of the HTC keyboard from one of the Verizon HTC Droid phones. I've used it on both CM7 and Sense ROMs. Swype is a good one that seems similar to the HTC keyboard also.
I keep going back to Go keyboard. It's free and has some great features (arrows for navigation, keypad, etc).
