HTC Sense Hero Exchange Sync - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has or can anyone extract the exchange sync (contacts, mail, calendar) that is available on hero or sense?
Maybe in apk format so that we could load it on a 1.6, or 2.x (non hero or sense) ROM?
Thanks for any help, I did a search, but didn't find this request specifically, I apologize in advance if this has already been asked and answered.

The one from the hero rom is restricted to the htc sense ui.

I was hoping it could be extracted the way cyanogen has the HTC keyboard available separately (HTC_IME.apk).

The Sense UI widgets utilize a different framework.....so you will most likely never see these on a "standard" android device....although HTC is currently porting widgets and adding them to the Android Market....so keep your eyes open.
PS....wrong section.

But is exchange sync really a widget? It's intgrated into the data sync preferences. . Kind of like how the keyboard is integrated into the text & local settings.

The exchange is part of the mail widget in hero.

Full Activesync Update Possible?

I couldn't find this specifically covered anywhere else. Some ROM's have the full activesync implementation in them (Mail, Contacts, Calendar). But, for example, Cyanogen ROM's do not (just Mail). Is there anyway to update this to include Contacts and Calendar? Thanks in advance!

The Rogers-based ROMs (like in my signature) have full Exchange sync capability -- contacts, calendar, mail. The HERO ROMs have this too, but *most* of them run quite a bit slower than a vanilla Android / Rogers ROM.
Just my $.02

Does your Rogers ROM have full Exchange sync wirelessly or also through the HTC Sync desktop program?
Thanks
Yeah, I know the Rogers ROM has the full activesync implementation...but that is my question. I'm wondering if there is anyway to add that functionality to a ROM that doesn't have it already...
I asked enomther (he makes a very good Rogers ROM) and he said it wasn't so straightforward to copy over their sync stuff because it's pretty heavily dependent on the other Rogers components. But you could always ask him and such...
I would also be very interested if there is a way to put full exchange into Cyanogenmod....
I've been reading up on it, and I think what we need is the HTC Framework. Not sure that's just something we can "install" though...
*Update* Nevermind...as Cyanogen apparently DOES include the HTC Framework...
BTW...are there are Donut ROM's with full Exchange support yet?
I just use NitroDesk's TouchDown application. It does a really good job and the price of the app is not too much in all honesty.
Activesync
My .02 cents. The new Sprint Hero supports gmail, activesync exchange and Hero to PC syncing.

No he doesn't:

Use Calendar without Data Plan

I'm too cheap to buy a data plan, and I know I'm a minority here, but I was wondering if anybody else in my boat has found a way to use the calendar?
It won't let me into the program without a google account and I can't find an alternative calendar anywhere. The closest I found was AnCal and it gives me an unexpectedly quit error or whatever.
Bumping this thread. I'd like to know also.
Are you after a calendar widget, or a fully functional one that you can add events, etc to?
A fully functional one that doesn't make you login to your gmail account would be awesome. Trying to persuade my wife that android is the better mobile OS (over WinMo), but having a hard time since she has to give up her camera and calendar (without a data plan).
I hear multiful calendar can do that, but like you I don't have a data plan, maybe someone can download (its free) it from the market and post the apk here.
And why give up the camera, elcair?
I found that one too, but I have not been able to find an APK for it.
If somebody could do that, that would be amazing.
I don't think a separate calendar is what we want.
what we need is an "import/export to sdcard" feature added to the main calendar. (similar to what we got with the eclair contacts)
preferably with csv.
Could anybody grab the APK for multiful calendar?
EDIT:
found it, its attached.
I'd still like to be able to use the android one, but this will do.
Vilord's Tattoo has a calender that doesn't require data so if you could find someone to pull the apk and get it to work you wouldn't need an extra calender app after you pull out to original one.
I can go into androidinstall.tar/data/app_s and I see calendar.apk and calendar.odex.
Would I just install calendar.apk and be done with it?

I would also appreciate it if someone could procure this.
My thanks.
bump.
Can anybody rip out the calendar from Vilord's tattoo?
I might even go as far as to pay anyone to get this apk too.
the calendar apk from tattoo is for rosie. So its for sense only. You need to google "pure grid calendar widget.apk"
yep, that seems to do it.
I still can't launch the actual app, but I can see the calendar, add items etc.
Thanks incubus
scottter so you can add new items from the pure grid calendar widget?
dangit.
I thought I could, I get the dialog box, but when I actually try to hit OK, I get a force close message...
So in actuality, no.
I found another calendar, Jorte, that doesn't need data.

Has anyone went from Sense UI to CM and kept Facebook pictures?

Has anyone been able to downgrade from Sense UI (Paul's Rom) to CM's rom and keep their facebook contacts linked to their respective contacts?
If so how? Everytime I leave Sense UI I have to go back in a relink all my contacts but if I go from CM to Paul's rom my facebook contacts sync just fine.
So i'm thinking its something about Facebook for HTC Sense. If anyone has any suggestions please come forward.
The Desire rom has been really buggy for me as of late and I just need the speed and stability and CM has been that in the past. Thank you.

The vanilla Android Facebook sync provider matches names. The Sense one matches a few other fields then adds a unique friend ID to the Notes field of each contact for future pairing via Sense.
Ahhh ok so pretty much I have to have the names in there as they are on facebook to go back to vanilla?

[Q] Best rom for wifi tether and overclock?

Looking to settle down for a reliable daily rom. Wifi tether and SetCPU Over Clocking are the features I want, but the only one I've tried that does that without crashing is Buffed.
Its one of the best looking but I just learned AOSP's wont work with HTC sync so im contact-less and they also dont have the HTC and Sprint apps.
I love it but apparently most AOSP's don't work with HTC Sync so ive lost my contacts and the release doesnt don't include some sprint and HTC apps.
Suggestions please? Theme and reliability a plus.
Thanks!
Export your contacts from Outlook to a vcard; comma seperated values. Log into your google email account at google.com and import vcard, I would export from outlook to your desktop so its easy to find, once that is done, go to your contacts on your phone and sync them with your google account. the beauty is that they update automatically from that point on and you never have to worry about it again.
SWEET!! This is looking good. Thanks for the advice, I've tried most of current roms /AOSPs and i Really didn't want to leave Buffed, the animations and theme are top notch.
Thanks!

[Q] Eclair 2.1 stock programs install?

Hi all,
I would like to install the following apps, the so called "big three" in my book:
-calendar
-contacts
-email
I would like to use the stock Eclair 2.1 applications on my Nook Color for these tasks. I have access to Eclair stock files (apk and odex) and I am under the impression that I need to install them into /system/apps, but aside from the fact that I can't write to this directory (see my other post), would these apps work at all?
Also, if the stock calendar, contacts and email apps won't work, can anyone suggest equivalents that do work?
Regards,
George
Don't know how to install those but I am using moxier mail and it has all the requisite calendar contacts and mail programs. A little clunky but it works fine.
On Moxier, any idea why the reply window is so small? I can't scroll through the message to edit it before I send it.

Would you happen to know if Moxier supports multiple accounts? I need access to two Exchange accounts (on two different Exchange servers).
