I heard there was work being done to port Hero apps for the G1 (Mainly interested in the contacts, gallery, and browser but all the stock apps are better than the g1's).?
Is there a post somewhere with these ported apps?

yes there are many but to find them you must first get the source to htc's sense ui. do honestly think if there was a thread in the development or app section for ported hero apps that it would ever go below the fifth page? there is one though... htc music. but its slow and full of lag.

I was wondering if anyone had used Open Home app on their Hero and what was their opinion, would you recommend it, Does it cause any lagging any other issues? Are you able to access all widgets HTC and Android? Anything to consider before installing?
thanks for reading.

it's equally laggy as sense UI, which is bearly noticeable IMO. You lose access to HTC widgets and clocks, but retain android and a few openhome widgets. I like it better but agian I'm one of the rare few who's not a fan of rosie. I just got the hero because it was the first android for sprint
Hey I'm curious as I know Sense widgets are only available with the HTC Sense launcher... but what about applications that come with it as well such as their Desk Clock application? Is this compatible on other non sense roms?
I'm trying to move myself off Desire roms because of incompatibilities, at first I missed the widgets but pure messenger, fancy widget etc have helped me there. But I still can't find anything nearly as polished as their Desk Clock application.. or just how much better the htc calculator looks compared to the stock!
Bump. Nobody know? Should I post in different General or Themes?
Calculator works, but the sense applications are framework dependent.

I haven't seen anybody ask that before...I always see about the widgets though.
Although now I remember that from when I had Desire rom seeing all the images from their applications in the framework...
i hope you guys are all groaning and this will probably get ignored like the rest of them, and i know the outlook is grim.
but i will do it anyway
- so there aren't any good photo galleries for Aosp other than gallery3d and gallery 2d
- while i understand that we need the sense framework to run it i am still not totally convinced it cant be done
judging by this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679707
and also that we were able to get the htc_ime to run on non sense phones
he mentions something about messing with the manifest
i havent had any luck getting .apk's to decompile with apk_manager even after getting some help (thanks impaler)
so i dont think we should give up hope on this one

I could take a look at it some when I have time, just remind me I'd love to get 2.2 HTC sense music going on CM
hey now that your 2 new themes are out do you think you might be able to take a shot at porting the gallery?

tampering with the android manifest got it to install it opens for a second then it closes, this is progress atleast
edit: i have attached the file for where im at currently sadly i dont have much dev experience to get any further
Here's an idea,
With all the hype and excitement of the successful WP7 OS, many apps are being made for android phones to copy the look of WP7. One of the best launchers in the market based off of wp7 is Launcher7. It has good customization like change the tile colors, Background, option to have a wp7 style status bar, etc. And there are apps being made to duplicate the look of the music player app, contacts app, Photos app, etc.
What i am proposing to u developers is to make a WP7 rom based off of cm7 and using these look-alike apps to replace the stock apps. It would be very pleasing to the Sprint hero and the android community.
its not possible all the win7 devices are hdpi so nothing would be compatible with the hero witch is mdpi however theres as good alternative home launcher called launcher 7 i believe and theres a couple of themes floating around as well.

Bah, it would just be png resizing. A fair amount of work, but not impossible.

That's actually not a bad idea, but it wouldn't really be a ROM, since CM7 is the ROM. If it's just using the launcher and some other WP7 apps, all it would need to be is a flashable zip to put the apps in /system, the user would just have to remove the stock apps. And yes it would be a lot of png and 9png work, but could be done. Of course if the hdpi-mdpi converting was done, each user could also just use the WP7 apps they like, moving them into /system and deleting apps with whatever method they like.
The point is i want to replace stock apps with wp7 themed apps as much as possible. Also shouldnt apps be made for both hdpi and mdpi? cuz some apks i see when i look in them to mod some parts of it theres a hdpi folder and a mdpi folder.

Sure, if you are going to run apps on a hdpi device. For just the Hero, no, you wouldn't need to, and you could probably delete the hdpi folders to save space.

Delete them using 7zip while keeping everything in a apk file so it stays signed? You know what? This encourages me to start getting into android development, I need to figure out how to use androidSDK.

Saw this site the other day, they started a project called WP7Android and I saw that they are gonna start development for Roms for the "popular devices", wouldn't the hero be popular? Even though its outdated, it was the first android phone to have HTC Sense. And it seems like our hero is still pretty popular here at xda-developers especially after it being out for 1.5 years. I will be watching this site for info for cdma hero.

Hey I was just wondering why this does not work .
Why can I not cross use different apks from different roms .
I am using Ice cold sandwich atm and the Camera application sucks on it , half the stuff doesn't work so I am forced to use a third party application.
I tried to access the app folder inside the "system.ext3.tar" which was found in one of my backup roms . ---> Created with CW MOD
I basically tried to take the working camera application and install it on my current rom but it crashes on startup, how do you actually go about doing stuff like this? What are the requirements ?
I just dont get why it does not work
I also hate the clock APK in the rom it does not have a world clock which I really need. I tried to again take the World Clock apk from another rom and it did not even install.
They were all from different icecream sandwiches but with sense 4 , the rom I am using does not have sense but I dont see how that would really affect this
Can someone explain to me how to cross use APK system files ?:good::good:
I believe you can't cross sense with aosp and aokp. If you want sense apps to work then port to a sense Rom. Your trying to put a square peg in a triangle hole.

I cannor really explain it, but I know for sure that u can't use apk-files from sense or touchwhiz and use them on AOKP ROMs. It's just not possible. Same thing for widgets...

I don't think it would be *sense*
It hasn't been taken from a HTC rom, its just a clock thats themed to look like sense
like themed
A themed AOKP rom to look like sense is not a sense rom

I see thanks for all your help guys and if anyone can explain to me the technical aspect of not being able to cross APKS due to AOSP and AOKP
I am just curious as to the limiting factor

HTC apps require HTC framework and other HTC apps in order to work
So without the other apps, just come of them won't work
Most apps from other Roms, like Sony Ericsson and miui Roms will work, I have some of them
I think just Samsung and HTC apps won't work
But Samsung apps can be hacked

There are dependency on HTC framework for sense APk,thus causing sense apk not working at aosp/aopk rom.
