Can HTC Desire's dialer be installed onto Nexus one? Without rooting?
I am deciding... which one to buy.. Nexus one or Desire? After a lot of thinking and reading, HTC's smart dialer is the only thing I will truly miss on nexus one. After using touchflo/sense on WM for years, I have grown tired of HTC's eyecandy...but their dialer is just too..hmmm...smart!
PS: okay.. may be Desire's black theme too.. can nexus one theme be changed to black? without rooting?
PPS: I don't have anything against rooting... I will do it soon..but I want to first get comfortable to the jargon of android world and figure out things.
This is about the third or fourth thread in this forum asking exactly the same thing. The answer is no. None of the HTC apps will run on stock Android; they depend on HTCs framework, which is proprietary. The only way to use the HTC apps is on an HTC ROM, like Desire. But you CAN start with a Desire ROM, and push all the stock apps to it, and morph the statusbar back to light-colored, so it feels aaaaaalllmost the same as stock, but with HTC apps. You don't have to use touchflo (Sense, as it's called on Android) just because you're using a Sense-based ROM. Make sense?
yup. thank you.
Is there any other smart dialer available? one that can be installed?

Try Dialer One from the market
My vote goes to Nubdialer from the market...
"Dialer One" better than HTC.

+1 it acts just like the HCT dialer but looks more stock eclair (better imo) and is more customizable.
+1 NubDialer ! Jk, Dialer One is pretty awesome too .
I have the EXACT same problem as the originator of this thread. It's just that I already have the Nexus and I really don't like all HTC eye-candies, as @arkavat is also saying. I just want the dialer which, in my opinion, is better than the Dialer One or NubDial that are available for Nexus.
But if this means installing an OS with all other HTC crap, I'd rather live with Dialer One.
I also used several htc phones, after using nexus, i am now using the dialer one, it's better than the htc dialer.

How is it better?
I can tell you how it may not be:
T9 filtering in HTC dialer works not only on the first word/letters but on any part of the name. Can Dialer one do this?
T9 filtering in HTC dialer works on both contacts and call history in the same box. Doesn't Dialer one use different tabs?
When I scroll down contacts in a T9 search, I see call history and immediately below the other contacts in alphabetical order. Aren't these on different screens in Dialer one?
HTC Dialer is fast, I seem to remember Dialer one being slower
I prefer the layout of HTC dialer, but that may just be me.
If you can find me one dialer that does all of what the HTC dialer can do, please PM me!
The lack thereof is my main reason for flashing Desire HD roms instead of CM / Nexus type of ROMS on my HD2!

Has anyone got the apk for the HTC notes widget? It's not available for my Sensation but is available for my Wildfire.
Thanks!
I backed up the notes APK from my wildfire and installed it on my sensation but needs to be resized.
I'm also looking for this widget.
It looks like it does exist:

but i don't know if that is the original HTC widget or an aftermarket addon?
HTC NOTES
here you go...works great on my sensation.
thanks, it seems to be a little small though
is this the DHD version?
I think it's from the Evo dump.. It's a good size on my phone. How big did you want it, to take up the whole screen?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
well it does kinda take up the whole screen cos you can't put any other widgets on the same panel
it doesn't use the space that it takes up is what i meant
its like pushed up to the left corner instead of being central - or is that just me?
thanks for the apk though, better than waiting for HTC
its definately askew to the top left, it would be nice if it left the bottom row open...
whats neat about it tho is you can make a little post-it note animated flip book by swiping up or down
can anyone make it full screen?
Ive extracted the apk and put it into this rar.
I see HTC Notes widget in HTC Likes (on the end of list) but when I click "Install" it doesnt do anything...

This just became available for me late last night. I kept getting the HTC icon saying more widgets were available but that was never true prior to last night. At any rate, I'm glad it is finally available.

I just got a Sensation from Telstra in Australia...
Great phone, but as usual, heaps of their bloatware on there.
One thing I know Gingerbread does, which I had on my custom rom for the HTC Desire, was the power on/off "tv style" screen collapse effect.
Does anyone have this on the Sensation ? Not sure if it should be there and telstra stuffed it up, or HTC has removed it.
Anyway to get it to happen before the phone is rooted?
Warmly, Marty
Nope... I don't have it on mine (Swiss Carrier). I like that effect but seems like it has been removed by HTC. Correct me if I'm wrong

I just sent a tech support email to HTC to ask where the setting is to turn this on...(ie: It's a feature of Gingerbread, HTC Sensation runs Gingerbread so how do I do it?....) if everyone else does the same...
Marty
PS. and this is WHY they should not lock the bloody bootloader - I would just put on a custom sense3 rom that had it added back...

I have actually taken the framework-res.apk and decompiled it or whatever with apk manager and I have added the necessary fix, but this being my first time messing with that, it failed couldn't get it to build again :/ I read that it was an issue with sense, blur and so on Roms but I tried :/ maybe someone more talented than I can do it

Adusting the framework.apk - that would not work until you have s-off or root anyway would it?
They removed the affect that you get when you reach the bottom of a menu. Not sure why they did that.
We have temp root already which let's us change the system files until next reboot. So I was thinking it might work, don't know until I'd be able to finish compiling that thing :/
Idk I'm just a noob when it comes to that lol

Installed fine on mine.
Took me about 10 minutes to realize I didn't want to use it, but it installed and ran fine.
Having this exact same problem on my HOX aswell.
Might I ask what region you're trying to install from? (UK, US, etc?)
And also which region the last poser successfully installed from?
EDIT : It turns out it is only vailable in the US for now, but as a UK user like myself you can actually use the app by downloading it's .APK directly from this site : www (dot) androidpolice.com/2013/04/12/facebook-home-starts-showing-up-on-the-play-store-available-for-select-devices/
It seems to be working fine atm.
I can download and install the app, but Home says that my device is unsupported
I'm using CM 10.1, so that might be related to why it thinks I don't have a One X. Any ideas?

Thanks! It worked =)
I was trying from Mexico (My HOXL is the AT&T version, though)
Running CM 10.1 also and I would imagine thats why it isn't supported. Maybe on a sense based ROM out there it would work.
From what I've seen, it apparently does some checks (build.prop maybe) to ensure it's on an officially supported device. AOSP roms likely interfere with that.
I'm on stock rooted and can't even find it on the store. I have the new play store, so I don't know.

Epically horrible!!!!!! I'm a little surprised how its being received by some as a phenomenal launcher. The reviews in the playstore say it all, though I am glad to see Facebook embracing the Android platform. Too many steps to get to your apps, for me it seems counter productive.

Go to your build.prop and change your model to HTC one x. This is if your on anything other then sense. And do a reboot and you should be able to use it now

@MAJORTAYLOR, yes i did, i installed the one from playstore,working sms and everything except option for chatheads was missing. so i installed a version of fb messenger with working chatheadsthat floating around XDA, i now have the chatheads option but NO sms option. LOL, I'M GOING NUTS HERE!!!
Looking at official videos, it seems like an overlay on the phone. Kind of like the HTC Facebook phone (cha cha or status, I think). Not a big fan, but if someone has a fully functional app running, can you let us know your thoughts.

I experimented with it a little yesterday and it really does take away a lot of the android feel -- No Widgets or anything its all Facebook. I do like chat-heads I think thats pretty awesome but you can get that with just Messenger so I just stuck with that. I was a little concerned about my privacy with facebook integrating my SMS as well. Call me paranoid but Facebook has been iffy about their privacy policies in the past...then again, I guess many of the web-based services I use aren't known well for protecting user privacy. In any event, I do think the launcher is smooth and is actually a cool concept, but complete removal of the widgets is what got me.

So this is best for Facebook heavy users, not android. You might just want to stick with the app. Question, can you revert on the flip? Like an on/off switch
