Is it possible to put the HTC People app and some of the other apps like the HTC Dialer and the HTC Calender in a Vanilla Rom. The HTC Calculator app was easy to put in. All I had to do was to move over the apk. The other HTC apps seem to be a little harder. What files do I need to move over sot the People app works in a Vanilla Rom. By the way, the rom is a 2.2 Rom for the HTC Hero. If I can get the HTC apps to work, I might end up making a 2.2 Vanilla Rom that people can download that has the HTC apps.
Obviously you're talking of Darch's AOSP 2.2 ROM. None of the HTC apps can run w/o the HTC framework. So, the answer to your question is no. However, download the app 'Dialer One'.. It's somewhat like HTC's dialer.

start there
Mdawg's Ic3Rom is a vanilla/AOSP ROM that has a couple Sense items in it, like the People and Dialer. Really it's an HTC/Sprint-based ROM that has most of the HTC Sense stuff stripped out. But some of HTC is still there. It is no longer under development though, so the latest version listed there is the last one.
I liked this ROM and used it for a while as my daily (version 2.8).
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663366
One final side note: Please post questions like this in the appropriate forum from now on. Since it was a question and had little or nothing to do with ROM development, this one probably should have gone in "Q&A". Thanks.
Let me know if you try out Ic3Rom and if so, how you like it. I'd be happy to answer other questions you may have about it.
What about taking some of the HTC frameworks and moving them to the Vanilla ROM? Or what about combining the frameworks with the Vanilla frameworks?

Where did he say Darch's AOSP Rom??? There are 3-4 good/decent Vanilla Rom's here. Yes, they will work if you move everything in the framework folder that says htc in it. However, like Mrcharlesiv said though, i don't think it will work with Darch's even doing it. Also, one more note, if your ROM is JIT enabled htc sense doesn't mix with JIT.
One final note: what's with all the thread Nazi's? Just sayin...
Moved as not Development.
Doesn't everything but HTC Sense launcher and the HTC Lockscreen work with JIT?

I love the look and feel of the hero build, but it's just too slow for me right now. The one thing I really did enjoy was the updated music player.
Does anybody have this, or know how to extract it from one of the hero roms? Is it not possible because of system files that don't exist in cupcake builds?
thanks a ton

Just download one of the Hero builds and pull the HtcMusic.apk from it and install it. I don't know if it is tied into HTC framework though so please post your results for others. I agree with you though the the HTC music app is worlds better than the stock android choice.
I'll give it a go. Thanks!
Ok, so I pulled the htcmusic.apk from a hero build, but it says that it can't be installed. Is there something special I have to do to get it to install properly? or is it just not going to work?
Sorry, it's just not going work. There are other files in the framework the Music application relies on that simply aren't in any other builds but the Hero build.

What files are those? We can either severe those ties or place them in existing builds where it doesn't overlap/interfere with the build's framework.
Yeah, that was what I was thinking. According to a bunch of people though, if you do that, many times you'll probably end up with a build just as slow and unstable as Hero but without the other cool, updated apps like Browser and Calendar...
Yeah that was the general consensus I gathered too. No point modding another rom to use HTC Hero apps due to the amount of modding needed
Exactly, by the time you've moved all the frameworks necessary over to a non-hero ROM you basically have hero
i heard that Stericson was able to succesfully port the HTC music player over to jf1.5... hopefully he will tell us how to do it.... =D
It's not really a pressing issue I suppose. I just figured I'd give it a go and see if it worked. I'll just have to wait for a stable, fully functional(very important) hero rom.
If there's no development on this, mods may as well lock this thread. No sense in cluttering the forums.
Hi,
Does anyone know if the HTC Hero apps are available as install files?
One I would dearly love on a rom that I have tried is Footprints, but it has not been cooked with it.
Many thanks.
Googled for "footprints.apk" and first link came back to XDA

(It's from the G1 forum, but many if not most, apps are fully compatible with Hero)
Happy New Year to all!!! Where can i find all (or some) htc apps for froyo senseless roms??? I am particularly interested in htc music app and sms app.
No can do.
They need to be 'ported' along with all the dependancies on the HTC framework, HTC music was ported to stock 1.5 and 2.1 (NOT 2.2), but that's it.

Hi to all
i'm using MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.5 ROM
and trying to install the HTC Camera from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10546829&postcount=125
but it doesn't work...
can someone help me please???
I did exactly some thing along with library files, but it doesnt worked. I installed it and restarted the mobile and it stucked at htc hd2 boot screen image. Wait for Mdj to have this in the build. But only possible if we all request him!

i've posted this in the rom thread there was some response from ppl who want this too but havn't heard from MDJ yet...
don't know what to do this is the only rom that works good for me exept WM
and WP7 is out of the quastion cause it's still lack of good hebrew support and a good gps software
so android it is....
hopfully more ppl will ask for it and mabe in the next realese we all will have the HTC Camera unless there is another way to make it work wich i would very like to know!!
You can't install HTC Sense applications on non-Sense ROMs because the apps require an underlying Sense framework, which is not open source and has not/cannot be ported - I doubt MDJ is focusing on this. Same reason you can't use Sense widgets on non-sense ROMs. Gist of it is it that if you want Sense anything (Except that one keyboard port), use Sense. Else use Vignette or Camera 360.
Has been asked many times over, might be worth searching before posting next time.

Sorry Guys,
This Cam don't work on Gingerbread.
It needs the HTC Framework, Sense and some other files.
Maybe if in Future comes an Gingerbread with Senes it works.

Hi, I just crossed back to Android and am excited to be back but am a little peeved with HTC's Sense overlay. I had the Nexus S a couple of years back (and loved it!) before using iOS and now I just upgraded to the One hoping to have the same experience with my Nexus.
My question is...and I'm hoping its in the right forum...is it possible to root the HTC One and have stock vanilla Android on it? Honestly, I kind of feel that HTC Sense ruins a really a beautifully made phone. It does add a lot of unnecessary functions and tries to link everything and everyone which makes it absolutely confusing.
Also...how obnoxious is that bootup with the Sprint splash screen? Ugh. Brings the premium down a couple of notches.
You can root the one easily using HTC's unlock method. I believe there's a toolkit in the development section. No vanilla android just yet. Although sense isn't really as bad as what it used to be. (But again, I primarily use my phone for social networking.)

The cm team had a build but it's very Alpha, that's is the only A.O.S.P. Rom at the moment. Once that's all peachy I'm sure you will see others pop up.
As far as the boot up sound, after you root, most of the available rooms have disable it.
Sent from my HTCONE
When my One is on vibrate I never here the boot up sound.
Also, could the 4.2.2 keyboard be ported over? I've already been replacing HTC apps with stock apps (gallery, clock, etc).

If you want to keep up with the development of CM 10.1 which is very close to vanilla android, heres the link:

So far they've got most things working except for the camera, IR blaster, Bluetooh and using headphones while you're in a call. Give it a couple of weeks though and we'll have a very stable version available. I'm not a fan of sense at all, so I'm excited to flash over to CM 10.1.

Download some different launchers from the Play store and try them out. You don't even need to root a device to change launchers. Simply download, install and open.

I'd be curious to see if there is some portion of the hardware that works only with the Sense framework.
It would be awesome if a custom ROM can push the camera beyond the stock experience. Does the HTC 'ImageChip' work with custom ROMs like CM?
