i tried to download the htc twitter and htc widget...installed with apps installer...i get an error trying to open htc twitter and there is no widget to be found to place on desktop...anyone tried these yet with some success?
this only works if your RUNNING the REAL HTC Hero ROM.
well that would make sense haha thanks...
Unfortunately, widget-apps like the Hero twitter widget are only possible with the Hero's slick new ui, which is nearly impossible to use without the entire Hero ROM. Some progress has been made porting said ROM to the Dream, but it's not for the faint of heart, it's for highly advanced users (ubergeeks beyond my skill) only, and don't do it on your primary phone.

Looks quite nice. Does Android do over the air Exchange sync yet?
I see the Hero but... display size is 320x480... how can I see it after HD??? The device is very cool but display s*cks!!!

I think it may be time for me to either switch from winmo (until wm7) or hope that the HTC Sense UI comes out on WM...
That's a really nice looking phone - hope the price is just as nice
Holy ****!
Its incredible!
Nice hit for Android and HTC Bravo!!!!!

Very nice looking phone, really liking the new UI, just like NG-Devil mentioned before, it seems that HTC has taken all the good bits from other UIs and blended them all together... Very interesting, D'Rath said it, tho, could use a bigger screen and screen resolution...

Nice to hear, that the UI should developed for Andrioid AND WinMo.
An a first look video at YouTube.
I hear it doesn't sync with outlook.
What about Tomtom.
If these things don't work then i wouldn't bother...

It's a "google-mobile-phone" (-> Android and not WinMo). ;-) Why Google should support Outlook, if they had an own (online-)pendant.
if any one has seen the "a week with the htc hero" videos from coolsmartphone on youtube, you will notice that the multitouch isn't present in all applications, so far it was demonstrated on the browser and pictures, but when the guy was using google maps, he wasn't pinching out to zoom in, he was using the zoom in button,
any one know if that will be implemented in the future firmware release?

Good observation. Still way better than the aging looking winmo though. Would be nice to have consistent interface still. Wonder why this is not enforced.
I hope the application store takes off more quickly. The device is not going to meet my requirements if I can't find replacements for my frequently used software applications, regardless of how slick the UI is.
Perhaps someone could start a new thread to share information on available applications for Hero?
Well, the HTC Hero is running on Android 1.5 so im asuming it should be able to run all the apps out so far (i may be wrong though)
n e ways i put some thought into why multitouch isnt on the google maps application, and this is what I think.
We all know now, that the HTC Hero isnt a "by Google" phone, The G1 and the Magic are but the Hero isnt.
Secondly, I remember reading somewhere that Google wouldnt put multitouch capability into their software because Apple requested it, hence the reason the G1 and the Magic dont have multitouch even though the hardware supports it.
So HTC must have realised that in order to compete with Apple they need to implement multitouch thus created their own picture viewer software and made a few alterations to the browser to enable multitouch, but other then that I doubt its going to be universal across the whole platform.
No, no, not just beautiful widgets pack but widgets like the twitter or weather?
Or if possible manually put it on the phone by taking them out the htc hero roms?
nope they rely on rosie which relies on htc framework and if you put these frameworks into 1.5 you would end up with a hero rom.
sorry
Ok I am curious if this is possible yet, I am looking for hero widgets like weather, calender, mail and messages.
I am running mlign version of supercsdiv4
tia
Im a noob to android have had my g1 a week now
Nope, they still rely on the same things. But we have a few Roms with em. Droid Eris or the couple Legend ROMS.
hi guys.this my first post so please dont get mad at the question.
i spent time learning how to downgrade,root,install hard spl and flash rom.problem is when i got done i really dont see any difference.the only things different i see is theres an android on a skateboard on my homescreen and a couple of new apps and console.could somebody please straighten me out why hero so much better than g1 os.i did a little searching on the forum but did dint find what i was looking for.
btw i installed cyanogens new rom thats stickied here in this forum
Try a hero rom and find out, you said you installed a regular rom. Just to name a few of the pros; HTC Music, HTC Widgets, Browser, Facebook Contacts. There are more, you just have to try it out and see if you like it.
Also remember hero rom was not made for the G1 so there might be some known issues...

I installed cyanogens 4.1.999...thats not a regular rom is it?
That's a regular donut rom yes.
When I say regular I mean something that was built for the device at hand ie. ADP/ASOP rom. Unlike the hero, blur, cliq etc roms that are not made for the G1.

I said I was working on something new. Well, here it is!
First of all, you MUST be running Ivan's 0.7 or 0.5.4. This may work on other roms, but I have NOT tested it.
In short, this removes rosie. To be safe, make a nandroid before you install it. All Widgets/Sense Homescreen/all extra sense related apps are removed. A Full list is at the link below. It returns the phone to close to stock android. I'll be updating soon with a few more features.
More info at here.
Thanks!
EDIT :
figured out what it does.
thanks!
trying it now. Can't wait for it. Thanks for all your hard work!!
noob question! r u ready? whats senseless? is sence the main os thing kinds? on my task manager htc sence is like the main os, do u replace it with like aHome ir somthing like that?
sense is the overlay that HTC made for the phone. with the nice shiny user interface. senseless removes all of that and uses the stock android look, which many people find nicer. senseless also deletes any HTC sense releated apps that wont be used so the phone runs smoother.
thanks i really appreciate that help. im new to the android scene. its a little small due to all the different phones runnind different tweaks but i love the community so far. not like the psp or iphone one but i deffenitly like it, everyones friendly
Really looking forward to trying this out when I get home. First I have to install Ivan's, but this is exactly what I have been looking for.
You said it basically removes rosie, is that all? I could do that with root explorer, couldn't I?
thank you for this. applied this to my fav ROM instead of searching through root explorer for each sense apk. this made my fav rom a lil faster. thanks again for ur hard work
Works on Ivan's 0.81T2.
Now if can hack the incoming call screen it will be perfect.....
I like just about almost everything about the vanilla ROM except the dialer. Default dialer doesn't have intelligent search and speed dial, i tried Dialer One, its better, but i am still more used to the sense dialer.. Soo.. i wanted to ask is there some sort of APK to get the Sense dialer?
I'm also interested for this I'm using the EzHero Rom and always when I'm calling I press "on hold" with my ear
This might do it - http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.shsh.android.atakephone
It's not free but is supposed to be good and has speed dial etc...
Doesn't have multilangual T9 like Sense, i am russian and most of my contacts are on russian and its pretty critical for me.
Next.
Dialer one will do it...has search etc
Once again, t9 is not multilangual, i had contacted developer about this and he said he have plans on how to implement this. Please note, the topic subject is not to find alternative, but rather integrate original sense caller into vanillarom.

Up. Up.. No way to implement sense dialer in vanilla rom?

I am interested as well if anything has come up yet.
Has anybody tried to pull Phone.apk and Contacts.apk from the ZTE Blade ROM? That has a Sense-like dialer, infact almost identical, just a copy. As it's a Vanilla ROM, it'll probably work with any of our CM 6.2 ROM's.
EDIT: Pulled the ZTE Blade/Orange San Fransisco Phone/Contacts/ContactProvider/TelephonyProvider apk's
http://db.tt/Qpx7qY3 - Phone.apk
http://db.tt/mrdDrCb - Contacts.apk
http://db.tt/OuZ4Gqq - ContactsProvider.apk
http://db.tt/F6o13dS - TelephonyProvider.apk
I'm not sure if these can be installed or not, as they are from an Android 2.1 build, maybe a bit of apk editing is needed.
Just install aDialer from market.
Same main features as dialer one but wayyyyyyyyy faster

Dialer2 is a really good dialer that only came out recently
DialerOne and NubDial are soooooo slow...
Youlu address book blows both out the water!
and basic answer - no, there is no way to get any of the sense apps like it's dialer to run in a non-sense rom.
you must use an alternative dialer as has been suggested. I love youlu
but I don't know about language stuff - you have to try them I guess.
After reading some weird ideas about not letting people who've posted less than ten times post i thought i better trawl the 'lesser' threads for something i can chip in to, just in case i need to ask a question or post in future...
so i was looking at dialers and i randomly found 'touchPal smart dialer' - free on the market, user interface is....okay actually, speed is...okay too. not that i have masses of experience but it also looks closer to the sense dialer than i've seen yet.
Might be a worth a look if you really miss the sense dialer.

'ere since May '10
Youlu Address Book (includes SMS/MMS app) and Dialer2 are my favourite. Both are pretty fast, good interface and have T9 search.
I'm feeling the Youlu Address Book love. I've tried most dialler's available and this one isn't perfect but seems overall the best for my needs.
Youlu is fast, but I wish it would be without the sms app. I will try the Dialer2 mentioned above, because DialerOne is too slow.
'TouchPal smart dialer' is def the way forward in my opinion. Has anyone else tried it?
it seems to be ever so slightly faster than dialer2 and the interface is nicer - more sense like.
1st of all in my previous post I've said aDialer when I've ment Dialer2, my mistake - mixed up the name.
2nd of all when I search market for touchpal I get 4 apps with chineese desc only. No comments on any app, no opinion no anything in the market app. Looks a bit scarry.

Sorry, cant quote the links, as I'm a 'bad' new user
And is there ANY Dialer, that is as quick as the Sense one? (and has smart dianling ) I'v tried most of the mentioned Apps in this thread, but all were way slower, than the Sense dialer... but as I want to get a custom Rom, I'm also looking for a replacement
