[APP] AOSP STYLE DIALER/CONTACTS APK without root required

AOSP Style Contacts/Dialer APK​
I have a simple request. I will be purchasing the HTC Sensation 4G in a few days and we all know that for the most part root isn't available. As a result, I will be forced to use HTC Sense 3.0 until root is established and Custom Roms become available. I will probably use ADW EX as my launcher, but I will be stuck with the HTC Sense Dialer/Contacts. Is there any brave soul out there that can create a dialer/Contact apk that is the same as the AOSP version that can be installed without root? There are a few mods/fixes out there that require root to move the dialer.apk to the main system folder etc but obviously since the Sensation doesn't have root yet I will not be able to use those. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE STOCK HTC DIALER & CONTACTS APPS... I am willing to donate to the person that figures this out....also I'm sure I am not the only person interested in this so uploading the apk to the android market could prove profitable for you also? Here are some examples:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539752
AND
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871787&highlight=contacts+aosp
Remember it has to be installed "Unknown Sources" style or a market link etc....

Bump: this would be awesome will donate also

[ROM] NoClutterSense | AOSP dialer, contacts, and other apps | Beta released!

NoClutterSense. Sense - without the clutter!
This ROM removes nearly every HTC stock app and replaces them with their AOSP counterparts. It also removes every HTC widget except the clocks, as I understand and think these are the best part of Sense. I have also not removed the Sense lockscreen, as the general feedback on that has been overall good.
This ROM is quite literally blazing fast.
There are more than 100 apps removed altogether, so I'm not listing them here. But I will list what has been replaced.

Download! There are some bugs, listed here:
Messaging app crashes on startup, but does send message. Download GO SMS to work around this for now.
The Setup Wizard does not work correctly. It defaults to UK English, but of course you can change that in Language and Settings, which does work.
You cannot get into Wireless and Networks, but both mobile data and WiFi do work correctly. Download WiFi Manager from the Market and connect to WiFi.
I have not removed HTC Dialer, but the AOSP phone application is there and if you press Phone shortcut in the dock, select Phone AOSP and select it by default.
Calendar application does not work. Right now, I have no idea why.
Viewing Application settings in Manage Applications crashes the Settings app. I currently have no fix/work around for this.
Screenshots coming soon!

Heck Yeah! The roms are shipping in

awesome, cant wait for this! the dev section is just exploding!

Can't wait for this...I like the idea of sense without the widgets...but would it be possible for us to add any of the stock apps back...I like the sense calendar better than the stock one.

Ugh. Dont made a thread about a rom until it's release. I'm annoyed.

Yes this is nice, i dont like the sense, but why you keep the sense launcher? What a point the rom without sense if you keep sense launcher?
Thank you!!

do you have screenshot?????

Now we have two rom threads without a rom. Annoying.

Guys, this will be released today, probably with the bugs. Then I can let other users/devs fix them if they'd like
About removing the Sense launcher; then it would be nearly AOSP. I wanted to create a ROM where it was AOSP and Sense, but Sense was complete barebones.
I'm going to add options to reinstall the Sense apk's as well

As this ROM is based on mike1986's Android Revolution HD (for now) I have asked permission to use the ROM. However, the kernel is stock (also, for now).

Had a slight scare there, for some reason framework-res.apk wouldn't zipalign turns it out it was corrupted. Dunno how that happened. All fixed now though
Trying to get the ROM to boot with the stock kernel. For some reason it hangs on the splashscreen.

S'all good - ROM is booting with stock kernel Some way down the line (read: end of August) I'll be replacing this stock kernel with a proper, custom kernel, with overclock, underclock etc. But I'm still learning this, so please, bear with me

well done mate

You really felt it necessary to quote the entire OP as if we don't know what you're referring to? Really? And it states in the OP that screenshots are coming soon..

This rom sounds quite promising, I'm gonna give it a try when its released. Will there be an option to remove Sense altogether? Please say yes :3

will this be released before ★SupraROM★ ?

Same question

I'm trying, I'm trying. Mike's said he'd rather I didn't use his ROM as base - and I can see why he says that - but he's helping me create my own ROM.
Meanwhile, I may release a version based on Mike's ROM (temporarily) so I can get the ROM fixed up and ready for official release on my own base.
Anyway, stay close to my Twitter for all the latest news!

[REQ] HTC Sense 3.5 - new feautures (Notes, Tasks, FB Chat) for Sense 3.0 & 2.1

Hello everyone.
I've been playing with new HTC Sense 3.5 for some while now (RCMix3d rom for DHD) and I personally love some of the new apps made by HTC. Since i'm more into 3.0 at the moment, i have been trying to port some new apps to HTC Sense 3.0 or even 2.1 so more people could use them.
Since im no pro in dev. those apps force closed whatever i did. I couldn't get them to work properly. I'm talking about new Notes, Tasks, Fb Chat apps and widgets.
Youtube Video here (0:44 for those apps):

Thank you for your time guys!
Rom link: http://www.multiupload.com/4328Y71FAV

i tried this also yesterday. i can see icon on app drawer but it doesn't work. force close issue.

yeah, i have no idea what's causing the problem :s
its clearly not compatible with 3.0, needs some changes imo
any1 know whats causing that issue?

Working updates for 3.5 coming shortly then porting to 3 will be easy... Let's gets the basics right first

Your problem is you have to use the framework.apks and other apks they are dependant on.... So it will prob not be possible since they changed alot of things.... If you do use framework_res and com.HTC.resources from these roms on the old roms it will prob cause more harm than its worth

So there is a great possibility that those apps won't ever get ported to 2.1 or 3.0 unless framework could be ported too? is it even possible?

framework-hacking is possible ! so it is not impossible !

HTC Facebook chat App+Widget
Okay, i've found one of those apps above.
Its FB Chat, taken out from HTC Salsa.
XDA TOPIC LINK

It is possible but it take a fair bit of coding if you are to do it correctly

I already merged all changes from 3.5 com.htc.resources and Rosie in respective 3.0 apk`s and compiled 3.5 apk´s against new merged com.htc.resources. New framework compiled and works fine, still no success. Troubleshooting is getting harder, since the 3.5 apk`s are also pulling from shared m.10 files and these are impossible to merge with the current tools. So that might be tougher, then 3.0 mods to 2.1, where we could merge all needed resources in apk`s, jars and add missing libs (which was tough enough - kudos to seo).

I guess adding the sense style launcher to 3.5 would be less of a cruisade

hmm yea, what about that sense 3.0 launcher merging with 3.5 one? or basicly just making a theme with 3.0 dock could work also..
but first sense 3.5 needs to have better base for doing that imo
also, those notes and tasks are completely new or have the apps been seen anywhere else? Since HTC Status already got the "new" fb chat intergration..
PS: by the way, i heard somewhere that sense 3.5 UI is being accelerated by GPU? Is it true? And if yes, can this be done to 3.0 too?

this is for the FB chat and it works on desire hd

Yes, this is the one ported from the HTC Status, but the widget isn't properly resized since it was ported for the Evo 3D.

[ROM] Sense Mix v1.0.2 10/5/12

Hey everyone. I've been working on this ROM for months. I'm not a big fan of Sense 3.6. A lot has changed since 3.0. Some features I'm extremely pleased with but not so much with others. So I came up with a ROM called Sense Mix. It's based on RUU 3.33.401.53.
Removed:
All apps attainable from the Market except for Facebook (used by Friendstream), Maps, Street, Soundhound and YouTube (used by me)
Other apps I find useless (STK, HTC Facebookchat, possibly others I cannot recall)
Old Google Search and Voice (replaced with GNow)
HTC Sense Launcher and Widgets (I dislike them)
'Recent Apps' in status bar
Lockscreen shortcuts (cannot be set because Rosie is removed)
Features:
Adfree hosts file
Galaxy S3 Launcher
Google Now
UI rendering improvments
Supercharged services.jar
Sense 4.0 Theme
Sense 4.0 Sounds
Sense 4.0 Wallpapers
Sense 4.0 styled Keyboard
Sense 4.0 styled MMS app
SONY Playstation Certification (Playstation Mobile app available at SONY's website)
SONY BRAVIA Engine
SONY xLoud
SONY Xperia Widgets and Fonts
SONY Walkman (Music app with many plugins)
SONY Albums (Gallery app)
Notes:
The ROM itself is T-Mobile USA optimized. If you are a T-Mobile user, you can flash Wi-Fi Calling. If you are are a Sensation XE or Sensation Z710e user, you can flash a patch to change the device name.
Sense 4.0 theme: I took SadeSkin 2.0 and fixed many errors I found with the images. I have also made the lock screen's navigation bar invisible. If you select a different skin, it will reappear.
SuperSU - I have not included SuperSU because it is in the Market AND because root apps are automatically granted acces (I don't know how I did that). There is a 'su' binary in the ROM so if you want control over what apps are granted root, download ONLY the SuperSU app. The binary is built into the ROM.
I've been working on this ROM for months. I know exactly how I want it to be but nevertheless, suggestions are welcome
Adobe Flash Player must be updated but it is not displayed in the Market. Bypass the issue by clicking here from your phone.
MOST IMORTANTLY: I am a chef, not a developer. There are system apps I want to modify since some system options are no longer relevant; for example,the Personlize app no longer needs 'Lock screen shortcuts', 'Scene', 'Add to home'. If anyone can modify the apps to how I want them, please PM me. It'll make this ROM more complete.

SCREENSHOTS

If someone can put up screenshots, I'd appreciate that.

and im the first one. ROM sounds good but did you not try urself?

So is sense 4.
J.b. 4.1.1

Nice job. A little SGIII on top of HTC Sense. So far a quick run through of things and all seems to work fine.

Hey could you please put up another mirror the download link thats up keeps saying web page unavailable. Thanks!!!
J.b. 4.1.1

One suggestion, use aroma to provide users ability to choose app they want to remove, it is much better than u delete it by yourself
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Which camera is in this ROM? Sense 3.6 or 4.0?
And does it have Sense low storage wizard?

how about battery life? any bencmark please?

Where did you acquire the Galaxy S3 Touchwiz launcher?

Steve's Elegencia ROM has option to use S3 launcher in aroma.

From Galaxy S3?

Nice ROM, but i dont really think xLoud is working, because there's no difference on its loudness compared to xLoudless ROMs.
xLoud effect is clearly visible on viperS rom.

this rom looks good, but anything more special which makes this rom different from others?

[APP] HTC Sense Home Launcher for Non-Sense Devices

So apparently HTC has been working on bringing its Sense Home Launcher to non-HTC devices. Their latest beta apk seems to work fine on non-HTC devices. So far I've tested it out on my M8 running the latest H14 GPE and it seems to work fine enough (although I feel it looks less polished than the Sense 6/7 version with regards to Blinkfeed). Anyway, here's the link to the apk. Be sure to install the latest HTC Sense Home 8.01.775526 beta from June 30th. Apparently earlier versions don't work.
DOWNLOAD
- Can only be installed on devices running Android 4.4+
- Does not require root
Screenshots
Test Notes
1. Blinkfeed works. However I couldn't seem to get Facebook to work. It asked for authorization but it just looped endlessly.
2. HTC seems to have brought the theme store to non-HTC devices as well. Have not had the chance to test it out thoroughly, so do report here if it does (or doesn't) work as it should.
3. If you were hoping HTC also brought the iconic Sense widgets like the huge clock + weather, you'll be disappointed. Didn't find any trace of it in the settings.
Disclaimer
This is owned and created by HTC. I in no way am posting this as my own work nor will I be responsible for any mishaps or bugs that may occur. I'm merely sharing the link here for people to try. Also keep in mind this is still a beta product. Expect the occasional lag, stutter, crash or bugs here and there. Future updates may break compatibility with non-HTC devices so also keep that in mind.

it is saying app not installed in marshmallow stock on moto G 2015

Hi, RohinZaraki...
Well, I've just downloaded and installed this on my Nexus 9 tablet, which I suppose is cheating a bit 'cos it's built by HTC under license from Google... but running stock Marshmallow Android.
Anyhow, it works... sort of!
The major problem is it doesn't scale well for tablets. The icons are tiny and the app drawer looks vaguely ridiculous with tiny icons separated by lots of space, and with no way of changing the app drawer grid layout beyond 4x5.
And there's no way of adding more than four app icons to the dock bar.
On the upside, Blinkfeed works...
I was able to login to my Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr accounts and they all display in BlinkFeed without issues. News Republic also works too.
Odd that Google+ doesn't seem to be available though.
-------------
Anyway, thanks for sharing this, RohinZaraki - it's appreciated.
I'd read somewhere recently, that HTC where planning on making the Blinkfeed Launcher available for the wider Android community. I just didn't when, where or how it was going to happen.
-------------
I've appended some screenshots of how it looks on my Nexus 9.
Kind Rgrds,
Ged.

The latest version (26 July) works very well:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-co...-sense-home-8-01-786968-android-apk-download/
Version 8.01 is for non HTC devices (in case someone looks for future updates).

if you have a ported htc sense or an older version of the htc sense beta, uninstall that first.
