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.
Hey guys, I was just wondering if it is possible to re arrange the sort of which our device displays images in folders in the stock gallery? I think it would only make sense if it showed the newest images first as opposed to what it is now, last. I have tried checking settings and everything, seems there is no way to change the sort order. Any one else have issues with this or know how to change it? Preferably, not by using a 3rd party gallery app. Thanks.
Hi guys,
I just got turned on to GO SMS PRO today, and I really love the functionality and customization. Problem is, I just rooted my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and installed Jelly Bean, and I completely dig the new notifications. I tried turning off notifications on GO SMS, and setting it as the default send and view program..which allows me to only receive notifications from the stock SMS app, but when I click that notification, it opens up with the stock as well, even though GO SMS is the default view program. Is there any way around this or is it an all or nothing situation? I'd really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

Change the name of the stock messaging app, or company remove it from system apps using root explorer
If you wish to remove it, I'd copy and paste it elsewhere in your sd card so you have it later if desired.
It looks like the app already has that ability. From the changelog:
V4.56 Update (2012-7-20)
1.Add Premium Feature Pack (Find Phone, local backup SMS/MMS/private box, etc) in application center
2.Add sync Facebook contact photos (Premium feature)
3.Add backup/restore MMS (Premium feature)
4.Add option to set default SMS program (in Settings->Basic)
5.Optimize My Location plug-in
6.Optimize Facebook binding with GO Chat
7.Fix security lock issue in ICS
8.Fix number lock issue in JB (Android 4.1)
9.Fix ring choice, notification issues in JB
Thanks for the responses guys!

I actually couldn't find the stock messaging app in root explorer! I looked up messaging, SMS, and nothing came up..not sure what else it would be under. But if I did that, would it actually force the stock notification to open up with GO SMS, or would it just prevent it from opening with the stock app?

Thank you, but I believe number 4 is just referring to the option to set GO SMS as the default SMS program..I have that set, but still when I click on the stock notification, it opens up in the stock messaging app. Lame!
Thanks again guys!
Same problem here...
I recently installed Cyanogenmod 10 onto my S3 and it was brilliant. Everything I wanted from a rom, except the motions. I liked the Touchwiz motion controls and the screen controls (like taking a screenshot with a swipe or tapping the top of the phone to get to the top of a list). Is there an app out there or a rom similar to Cyanogenmod 10 with the added touchwiz-style functions?

I am on samsung galaxy s3 International build with cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly version of 28th June 2013. I love the mod but these are the shortcomings I face:
1. Settings does not have the motion "menu" due to which I am not sure how to calibrate the gyroscope etc. Its all off.
2. Due to reason one My google maps navigation is misguided.
3. I am unable to send contacts via normal sms. A lot of my family members use normal phones which cannot understand vcf or don't have net so sending contacts is painstaking as I have to copy paste each detail to a text.
If anyone knows how to solve these issues do let me know. If not then atleast let me know what is a proper place to ask them ... maybe guide me to a complaint/suggestions section of cyanogenmod community of devs.
hello there
I've hated the integration of Google Gallery + Camera ever since JB was released!!!
the main reason is that the Gallery app has a "swipe to delete functionality" within the filmstrip view: this feature might be loved by many - I understand that - but it's extremely hated by me !
now here goes the dilemma... I hate the stock Google Gallery and want to replace it with QuickPic or whatever BUT I am soo in to the stock Camera !!!!
back in the ICS days, the camera.apk was separated (sadly I tried pushing the ICS camera.apk to JB but I kept getting FC)
so what I want is the one of the following:
- Find a way to MOD the GoogleGallery.apk in order to completely disable that ugly swipe to delete freak
OR
- Find a way to separate the Camera from the Gallery
OR
- Find a way to make the ICS work on JB 4.2.2 without FC (plz don't suggest to install that ICS Camera app from the market coz it doesn't work as it should be and the photos resolution is too low and it's full of ads / notification push ads...
Thanks in advance for anyone who is able to solve this dilemma for me
anyone????
not even a suggestion???
