I love the hero apps, the HTC contact manager, picture app and all that good stuff but can't stand being so limited by the hero rom. Is there anyway of using those apps on (for example) cyanogen 4 rom or something comprable? That cyanogen 4 is so smooth. Would look much better with some hero apps. People and that little lip with the phone and "+" sign is the ****.
I tried installing the apps after installing that rom and it tells me that it is not set up for my phone. Drats!

well to install hero apps you need the framework for the app. drake is trying to port the apps to cyanogen, he said so via twitter. or u can contact cyanogen and see if he can port them for u

ok let me start off by saying that im a fan of the cyanogen team's work. i installed cm5.0.8 and it was very stable and had tonnes of features and made life for me happy.. but since i upgraded to CM6 -> TOO MUCH PROBLEMS!! FC's left right and center, random slowdowns, and now my phone wont boot at all after installing yxplayer. i would like to downgrade back to 5.0.8 but dont have any nandroid backups (had 2 remove because ti was taking up too much space) and i hate the idea of wipe+flash ing because it cost me a pretty penny to pay for my apps + activate the phone
any ideas?
Hmm...
This may sound silly. Have you tried booting in Safe Mode to see if it stabilizes? Hold down the MENU button while booting until you see your home screen. It should have an overlay in the lower left corner saying "Safe Mode".
I personally had issues with CM 6 as well.
What are your concerns with paid apps? The market should remember your purchases, so you can just click and re-download.
You could try flashing CM5.0.8 over CM6(new to XDA, so not sure). Make a nandroid backup first of course, for if it doesn't work.

Always wipe everything and flash. Market will remember your apps. Titanium backup helps too. Next time just take your nandroid off your phone and store it on your computer.

Google's backup service automatically backs up a list of all the paid market apps to your gmail. As long as you use the same gmail, all your apps will be downloadable, for free. If you have cm5 on your sdcard, just wipe everything and flash. You normally don't need a wipe when switching b/w similar roms, but you do if switching from say eclair to froyo or donut to hero. Your problem seems to come from not wiping when you switched from cm5 to cm6.
The default SMS app in HTC Hero ROMs, to put it simply, sucks, especially since the 2.1 update, it keeps going up to the top and when opening the keyboard it doesn't scroll up either, scrolling is incredibly slow and the keyboard is quite laggy in this app.
I'm not keen on any of the ones in the market, specifically ChompSMS and Handcent (Chomp has ads and is slow, Handcent is slow).
I run a rooted HTC Sense ROM and just want the standard SMS app, it's fast and simple. I tried Froyo Elelinux (on the development forum but can't post link because I'm a new user and it's recognised as an outside link for some reason) the other day and the SMS app in that is great, from memory it's the same as the 2.1.
Does anyone know where I can grab this in APK form that'll install on my rooted but otherwise standard HTC ROM?
Thanks!
I too hate the Sense Messaging app. I use Handcent though, I do like the Message app from 2.2 it's quick and clean. If I find the stock 2.1 version I'll post it here.
EDIT: Here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=367490&d=1280204330
Thanks! But it doesn't install. I suppose I need to remove the Sense one first?
Edit: I used adb to rename Mms.odex in /system/app and then used adb push to overwrite stock mms app with the AOSP Mms.apk. It's so much better only problem is it doesn't seem to go into landscape mode...
I have searched everywhere but can't find anything,
I would love to use the stock calendar app on doc's rom or any other rom for that matter. But i'm not able to find anything that works.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
I've read that if you use the aosp mail app, the camera fc's.
But nothing about the calendar app.
I would love to know a bit more, I can't imagine it's that difficult.
There is a thread for stock eclair apps and I remember using them once, they seemed to work I recall.
If anyone knows a way I would love to know, I'm getting pretty frustrated with samsungs aproach to the calendar

Any idea how to install aosp calendar?
It's in the market.
You'll have to uninstall the Samsung one first, then reboot.
Sent from my Captivate.
No. The AOSP calendar is NOT in the Market.
I have the same question: how to get a working AOSP calendar in Froyo???
But in this strange sgs community, everybody seems to love so much the TouchWizz Calendar!
Bllblb. It's ugly, not practical, and you cannot read the events titles directly from the week view.
I succeeded installing the Calendar from a CM6.1 Nexus1 Rom. But not the Calendar sync. So it works, but you cannot choose wich calendar to hide.
So. I'm not responsible for nothing, but you can try what I have done.
Download the rom here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/187-update-cm-611-n1-signedzip/
Extract from system/app/calendar.apk
-> Or instead of 1. et 2. you can just download from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18608283/Calendar.apk
On your sgs, use Root Explorer (or ADB if you know how). Delete (make backup first) TWcalendar.apk in system/app/ in your device.
Push the calendar.apk from the rom into system/app/ in your device.
Install it.
Reboot.
You're done. As I have said, the app works, but it Force Closes whenever you try to get in menu/more/calendars.
If somebody have an idea to get he whole thing working... It'd be great!

I don't think this is true either, where did you get this info from may I ask?
Thanks Judim but I have also tried that, had the same problem.
I'm using "Touch Calendar Free" at the moment, it's not as good as google's but still beats the living sh** out of samsungs...
Ah well if this thread bumps we'll just have to wait for CM7 to arrive or buy a Nexus S.
The first way is a bit cheaper though
Try also Business Calendar Beta from the Market. It could be a replacement waiting for a CM7.
I see you're also coming from the Hero... Small device but great CM roms
Cheers!
Here is an AOSP calendar app that I'm using on my Vibrant. It does have the fc issue when selecting more calendars, but does not have the dark bar at the top blocking week one of the month. It does have a skewed transparency up there, but its a mere annoyance and won't affect anything. Push to system/app. Oh the icon is ginger-green to match my rom, but thats all that I changed with the apk.
I have a rooted Streak 7 (16gb) with a 16gb SD card & it seems much much slower lately. What things can I delete or uninstall to help it?
I heard somewhere that uninstalling Dell Launcher speeds things up. ....can this be done without messing up system?
Also, I try out & uninstall apps constantly. ......does that fill up system with leftovers? Where are they?
Oh and "market" app loads EXTREMELY slow. ....sometimes wont load at all. ...ever since they changed Market design/format. Is that fixable?
Thanks in advance
At least on 2.2.x StageUI 1.5 is rather slow, but remember to install another launcher before removeing the StageUI launcher. StageUI 1.7 is completely different.
If you uninstall an app, from either the market uninstall button or the setting one it removes all config files immediately.
If you manually delete an apk it will remove config files on reboot.
There's an app called SD maid that I personally love that gets rid of all cache files and leftovers from apps (if there are any)
There are several apps that try to boost your SD cards access times... you can try those... can't hurt...
I also use AutoRun Manager to make sure apps I rarely use don't start up at boot
And yeah... the Dell Stage pretty much sucks... my preference is GO Launcher
so if I install something like "Go Launcher" then I can uninstall Dell launcher? My system came with 2.2.2.
actually I have "circle launcher" installed,,,,can that work?
thanks so much!

Definitely, I would RECOMMEND doing away completely with the DEL Stage and then run any launcher you prefer, I was just stating that I use (well use to use) GO Launcher (I'm running GingerStreak 2.3 and have gotten attached to VTL Launcher somewhat) but I loved the features of GO Launcher....
OR you can install one of the custom ROMs that have been tweaked a little bit for performance
I'm not really gonna try to recommend one because I have no idea what your level of expertise is with Android is or how much you like to tinker with your device, but there are some very nice options that will certainly make you smile
it says go launcher is incompatable with my streak 7 :-(
I love messing with my gadgets & appreciate any advice u give! Thanx bunches
ok it seems like most launchers are incompatible. ....why?

I know it's incompatible with DJs HoneyStreak, but you shouldn't get an incompatibility message with it on Froyo... least ways I didn't
Ok I got. GO Launcher apk from the company website & that worked. I wonder why market wouldn't. ....hmmm. ...
I was trying Launcher Pro too but its 3.49 to use extra customization features & Go Launcher is free.
Removed Dell Stage. ....even market runs better!
Anyway, thanx again. ..any other good speed up tips? I installed a Rom manager also :.)

You can uninstall the ROM Manager, none of them work with either of the Streaks.
I use AutoRun Manager to keep apps from starting up that I don't use often, and I also use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer to help manage my memory...
Call me crazy but I went to APK mirror and downloaded Samsung's corresponding apps for the phone messaging and their camera app oh and also the internet browser and the internet browser is the only one that works. The camera one won't install the phone and messaging app installed but the messaging app force closes right away and the phone app looks to be launching it but then it just goes back to the home screen. I am rooted that helps and makes any difference. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thank you very much. Alsoeveryone that loves customer recoveries and custom ROMs and tweaking out your phone just hang in there little bit longer because I have a feeling that the TWRP team is going to figure it out any day now and it'll be nice to be able to back up my ROM and try something new or a different kernel without having to do everything in fast boot.
