HTC Sync Upgrade for HTC Hero Available - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just seen news that the HTC Sync Upgrade for HTC Hero is available, I didnt know that the original was out there!! The link for the UK is as follows:
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=631&news_id=222
My question is, most of the Hero ROM's for the G1 now have HTC Sync removed from the builds, does anyone know how I could get it back?
Is it a separate APK or is it part of the Rosie.apk... If anyone could help I would be grateful, would like to try it out at the very least, although GMail sync is the best...
Thanks!

Tilt stock WM 6.1 - how to remove 4 tab HTC home?

It's been a few months since I have been to this forum and it looks like there are lots of cool new programs and a new device (the diamond) that has provided some new cabs. I had gotten a lot of great cabs and tips here from last September through Spring but have not really added much to my phone since then. I had Ultimate Launcher with HTC Home as one of the cube faces and I really loved it. Anyway, I recently ruined my Tilt and had it replaced but the new Tilt has windows mobile 6.1 in place of 6.0 and not all of my old cabs/programs work anymore. I'm excited to see what else is out there for 6.1, but in the meantime, I noticed that the stock tilt comes with a version of HTC Home that has 4 of the 5 tabs (it's missing the music tab). I tried to use HTC home customizer but I can't. I can't seem to load a new version of HTC home over it either. I could not find the HTC Home program in the list of removable programs.
Maybe it's time for me to take the leap and move to a flashed ROM but every time I read through the instructions I get a little nervous and decide to wait until I feel like I really know what I am doing.
Anyway, I'd like to remove this stock version of HTC Home and load up a new version of HTC Home and start adding some cool cabs that work with WM6.1 but I can't find any threads addressing this HTC Home issue. Does anyone have any advice?
I too am interested in this if it is possible.
I dont have a working pc at home right now so flashing is not really an option for me.
What version of HTC home are you trying to install. I think there are a few out there. Also what error or msg are you getting when trying to install the faulty htc home plugin?
I successfully installed the new HTC home over the stock one on my AT&T stock ROM 6.1 and nothing broke. it pretty much overwrites the previous one so you don't have any duplicate entries in the remove programs or anything.
i tried to install HTC Home - Schen 2.1 with N2A weatherpatch (UPX compressed). i just realized my mistake was not deselcting it from the home screen before installing the cab. i feel like a jackass. thanks to the people who offered help. by the way is there a newer, better version of HTC home to install?

MSN on rogers branded HTC Dream

Hey all, I just got my HTC dream on june 2nd and am switching from a sidekick lx. Note that I'm in Canada. Love this phone, but one deal breaker is the lack of an msn client. I tried some of the client available on the market, but connectivity sucked. I read somewhere on this forum that after the 1.5 (cupcake) update that an msn client was added. Our canadian htc dream came with a different version of 1.5 and does not have the msn client. My questions are this:
1. Is there anyway to get .apk for this application that you lucky americans got with the 1.5 update? If so can someone direct me to it?
2. Is the connectivity better than hi msn and meebo? Both of those suck if I'm not wifi connected.
your wrong. cupcake is the first version with no defult clients other than Gtalk. The old ones has an app called IM and it had MSN. At least the 1.1 does.
Thanks for the clarification. Is there anyway to get a good msn client on the g1 without root?
The US (T-Mobile) Cupcake build has the IM app with AIM/MSN/Yahoo. It has been ported to various other cupcake builds as well, most based on JF 1.51 (cyanogen's seems most popular right now).
I have yet to see it working on a rogers or HTC build.
The built in IM app also uses SMS instead of data, which many people dislike. Connectivity is also questionable, and from my experience, similar to any other app since android automatically shuts off background apps when memory is needed.
From my understanding, you will probably need root to get the IM app. Unless you can adb remount and push on an unrooted build which I don't think is possible.
Thanks for the info. The text message usage is very undesireable. Geez... who thought that would be a good idea?? I suppose i'll just hope and pray that hi msn or some other market download gets better. Thanks so much for the clarification, i thought i was missing out.

HTC Twitter and Widget?

MOD EDIT
warez site link removed
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.

for all developpers

hey guys,
you surely mentioned that there's a software named htc sync which you can use to sync outlook directly - without having to sync with google over the internet - with your phone.
but this software supports only the htc magic and htc hero - not the g1 (dream)
i think the software is very handy and surely a lot of people are interested in having the opportunity to use it on their g1.
my question:
can you modify the software a bit so that it can be used with the g1? or write an app which identifys the phone as a htc hero or htc magic whenit is connected with the pc over usb?
thanks
HTC sync comes with the rogers roms. You may want to try a rom based on rogers since most likely HTC sync relies on the HTC framework. It may be possible to port it though, not sure on that part
mhhh i use the cyanogenmods and i'm pretty satisfied with them - damn fast!
any other suggestions?
no ideas? really?

HTC Messaging

I've just flashed the latest Energy ROM onto my phone from one that was about 6 months old. All is good apart from one thing - HTC Messaging.
Seems to be a common complaint that a lot of people don't like this, but I haven't found a solution.
In the old Energy ROM I was able to run a cab that disabled HTC Messaging, but that doesn't seem to work with this version.
Can it be disabled? Oddly, at the top of the thread NRGZ28 states that HTC messaging is turned off for speed???
Can anyone help please??
Since NRG has a thread the best thing to do would ask in the thread.. I'm sure NRG or one of the many other users would be able to help.
Anyway not ROM Development thread closed.
