Has anyone ported the YouTube widget from 2.0 to cyanogens 4.2.7.1?
I think your just going to have to wait for Cyanogen to catch up to Eclair. I doubt the infrastructure would allow it even then I doubt anyone is going to take the time to port it when Donut is being pushed out.
why not just flash eclair?
As much as i like the widget eclair is too laggy on my handsent.
Just wondering if you guys have had any problems with the desire camera in this regard. So programs/games that have you take a pic (like facebook to post, or worldofphoto, etc) will call up the cam, but once a pic is taken my desire cam just left me in the camera app?
I switched to the stock camera app which works fine with the programs. However, I HATE the stock camera, esp the lack of shutter sound removal.
Also, when I pushed the stock camera back onto the phone it broke my desire camera app so now I have two on there, but only the stock works.
-does the desire camera just not work like this right now? havent really seen much about it.
-is there a way to have both camera apps work on the phone (that way I can use the stock cam for program-related camera work and desire for just plain photo taking)?
-if not, how do I remove the desire camera???
thx
nope, doesn't work well with other programs yet. That's the reason I got rid of it.
Search for the originalcamera.apk in the forums. Flash that. Or just reflash your ROM. No wiping necessary.
the desire cam works fine with goggles and shopsavvy for me. cant speak for facebook (i must be the only one left w/o an account) or others. if i recall right, i had issues when i flashed cyans latest 506, but reinstalling via recovery sorted it out.

Is there a ROM available which does not have HTC Sense, and has only Native Clean Andriod in it..
There's no Generic Android rom atm. I'm also waiting + hoping for one.
What about Nexus One ROM? I really digg the UI
If you pay for a premium MoDaCo account, you can cook a MoDaCo rom without Sense UI
I no longer care for Sense. It's great when you have a current Android version, but it creates a big lag-time between new Android release and new HTC rom release.
I wish I had gotten the Nexus One instead.....

I feel you mate. I had the same thought. Looking at how slow HTC were in bringing 2.1 to the Hero, I have a bad premonition that the same gonna happen to the Legend.
And I really like the UI/UX on the Nexus One. Any custom ROM that has Nexus One app launcher, photo app, etc.?
Well I've searched and there's only a few (3 that I could found) custom roms available now, all with Sense. I decided for myself to give it another 2 wks and then, if there's still no clean Android rom, I'm selling my Legend and getting Milestone. And no more HTC phones for me as they only make them with Sense now.

not Full... you get a lot FCs if you cook a rom without Sense
There is a rom available on Modaco without sense.. Espresso
It works very smooth and looks great!
This is the link
Edit: No, there still is Sense.. Just with extras.
if you hate it so much,why don't you disable it...
well it isn't quite disabling but it will work fine...go to settings application management and find htc sense and click "remove defaults" or so....next time you hit the home button you will be prompted to use sense or android home...if you want to keep the android home,simply hit "make default" in the same window that pops out when you press the home button

How about you disable it, and the abd into your phone and delete HTC sense and all the sense widgets and apps?
That may work?

Don't think so Michael. I'm prepared to be corrected but I don't think default android apps wiill appear upon deleting HTC custom apps.
I did try to remove the HTCSenseLockScreen.apk and it did not give me the default google lockscreen... it was really strange... the lockscreen did work like the sense one where you drag it down, but no background on it and the text was messed up...
Right now i am playing with the Sense from the MyTouch and that look great...

Yeah they won't, but i would be willing to cook a rom containing the factory legend rom rooted, and with no HTC apps but stock android apps, if someone would be willing to test this method?
i am willing to test... if you want i have the system from the vodafon 2.02.178.2 build.. well it is in the 2.2 tread on modaco from some china dude.. i mean why not use the latest bug fixes also for the rom if it should be..

It's not about hating SENSE, it's about wanting the stock Android because of updates, ie. a better phone. SENSE is great, when it's paired with the latest Android. But when it's used with an older than current version, it creates lag time.
I am going to sell my Legend and get an Nexus One. It's older, but it's still betterish than anything else out there.

I did it this way, deleted allmost every HTC stuff. But if you remove a HTC-app, it will not give you the default android one. You have to get these apps from somewhere. I just thought about creating a rom without that htc stuff.
But i have to say that not every htc app is crap. Some apps are better than the android one.
Have you tried removing Rosie?
Any problems afterwards?
I have made a sense free (ish) Rom, there is still some slight differences like the black bar on top.
But it still beta, i will upload it tonight or tomorrow
EDIT :
Deffo tomorrow, i am too tired to keep working
Hey All,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm tired of the version 2.1 stock ROM for the Sprint Hero. Even when its rooted and I clean out all the bloatware its still sluggish, buggy, and it has lately been aggravating me to no end. I want a nice lightweight ROM that has everything working (radio, wifi, data, etc.) but I don't want the HTC Sense UI if possible. Also, if it could have built in wifi tether (because all the apps I've used on the stock ROM tend to lock up or reboot the device) that would be great. Also, Apps2SD would also be nice but not a requirement.
Can someone recommend a good one?
Thanks in advance!

you are posting in the way wrong section this would have been better suited in general or Q&A
but my recommendation for you would be CM7 the official release for the HeroC, its stock android with some flavor. good battery life, apps2sd supported via built in manager (added in 2.2). built in tethering in the device settings menu (AOSP 2.3 feature) and last but not least it's AOSP based so SenseUI is nowhere to be found
I have tried all and in my mind the fastest has been hero deck. I even turned down my MHz to 691 when I use to have it at 768.

Deck's rom is fast....No doubt, but.....if you're looking for a blend of speed and stability I'd listen to ThoughtlessKyle and go with CM7. That is what I put back on my Hero for my son to use.

I'll definitely look into both ROMs. Thanks for the help!
My stock rom ran into issues the other day. Force close loop on senseui or something. Basically required a factory reset so while I was at it I decided to put a new rom on. I went with CM7. Had done a bunch of reading in the past and everyone was using CM6 then. Its nice. The one thing I didnt like is the voicemail. Getting it setup to download my voicemails to the phone was kinda a pain and the annoying texts from 9016 get old quick. Not sure why there is no solution for this. And running a separate program to block messages from 9016 isnt really a solution in my opinion.
I hear that deck rom has voicemail working with no additional installation/config necessary and none of the 9016 text messages so I plan to give it a try.
I just got an Incredible S after an update from iPhone 3gs, I liked it very much. I had seen an HTC Desire HD with Cyanogenmod on it and I really like it because the stock HTC ROM was too boring and non-happening. After deciding to root my device and installing Cyanogenmod 7.2 on my device, I was really impressed of it's performance but then again I found that there are much better ROMs than the Cyanogenmod ROM and decided to go with Virtuous Quattro ROM but after finding out about the camera issues, I went with Virtuous Vivo ROM (back to the stock app drawer )
During the conversions, I noticed speed differences for Google Play (aka Android Market). While on Cyanogenmod, it was too slow, searching applications, opening the application, waiting for the "Accept and Install" window would take ages. I thought it was meant to be like this but after switching to Virtuous ROMs, I noticed they won't take any time at all. I found searching, opening and downloading applications to be very fast, faster than the Cyanogenmod ROM. Everything is now just a click away.
I was wondering if it was a problem with the ROM or something else because I really want to switch back to Cyanogenmod but the Google Play speed is just a let down. If the problem is with the ROM, are there any solutions or something to it?
Thanks.
I guess it's not because of the ROM. It's just the difference in the version of the app from Gingerbread to ICS
Virtuous for the win
