Hi all,
I've got a Rogers HTC Magic and I'm running Amon_RA's firmware, version 1.1.0.
Runs great, much smoother than the default Rogers firmware. Just missing one thing though...
Does anyone know where I can find the HTC dialer? Or maybe it's called the Phone application? I like the HTC phone application, but I want to stick with the ROM I have right now.
Thanks!
I second this, apart from Im running CyanogenMod ROM
thirded and i too am runnin cyan
you mean the htc dialer in hero? u cant get that outside of hero, its deeply built into the core framework of the phone. people are trying to port it but its too tough since htc hero's core is closed sourced.
you can try apps like aContacts, which is skinnable and does simliar work liek the smart dialing from the htc dialer.
I had the htc dialer in the original HTC Magic rom. Norwegian phone, HTC branded. I miss the dialer too... Have tried acontact, and its crap in compare...
i would also love to see the original htc magic dialer ported to cyanogenmod
i would also love to see the original htc magic dialer ported to cyanogenmod pls cyanogen help us
having try acontracts? search from market and it is free
it needs htc framework to work so unless you start coding it aint gonna happen. i do agree its a pity though- this was the only thing i liked on my stock rom.
is this the same as the smart dialer?

No, the HTC Dialer is found on non-Google Branded phones. I have an non-rooted Rogers HTC Magic and it definitely has smart dialer, it's not only on the HTC Hero.

it is also on Rogers, TIM etc. its not only on Hero.
It does depend on the HTC framework to run tho, like teeter etc.
I am on Cyanogen and miss the dialer too. Sill no good alternatives to the HTC dialer?
try SuperDial

HTC has dropped 4 widgets on the market. Have a look here: http://www.androlib.com/android.developer.htc-corporation-FtE.aspx
They look really nice.
Requires Sense UI!

HTC should release a home application that runs Sense UI. I think it's doable, and if they did they could charge like 20 bucks, and not really have to go from firmware to firmware extremes.
i am not really sure whether i like what i see that HTC is posting on the market. all the widgets they publish are only for HTC Magic and Droid Eris... meanwhile sending C&D's to developers who have been porting HTC widgets to other devices (like HTC Dream/G1)...
to me this looks like they want to push sales of their Magic & Droid Eris models, and make people switch from their old G1's...
don't like it
I have been thinking about getting the Captivate. I was just wondering if there was any way that Sense UI could ported to it? Just wondering. It is my favorite UI.

I was just wondering haha. This will be my first android device and it will be the first device I have ever bought from my carrier. Having had my Touch HD which started out at TF3D and WinMo 6.1 and is now at HTC Sense and WinMo 6.5.5 and I have kinda hit the limit.
This is actually the first Samsung device I have ever found that I may like. I hope I will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed my HTC.
Was waiting for AT&T to pick up a High-end HTC Android device but it doesn't sound like it is gonna happen.
Thanks for the replies though!
I hope this device will have good support here to keep it updated

They have their baby, the iPhone. You know that is the reason they locked sideloading apps. They just don't want Android being better than the iPhone.... but they will learn soon enough.

Folks over at sgs2 have been trying to port it over for quite sometime now. I doubt you will see it anytime soon. Besides do you really want sense?

Do i want sense? Yes, Its great! Touchwiz is not as refined.
Sense features i miss
The great Audio player, Better than power amp (In my opinion)
Fantastic lockscreen (customizable)
Great People, weather and calendar widgets
Perfect Dialpad
Well designed SMS and email client
And all the other sense themed widgets.
I know i lot of these features can be added with apps from the market, But none i have found so far have the Tidy uniform look of sense. Parts of touchwiz look like they have been made by a colour blind monkey! Also one of my biggest gripes with touchwiz is the lockscreen (poor animation, lack of customization and sometimes unresponsive) If i try to use a different lockscreen, NoLED stops working, which i like because the lack of a physical notification LED.
So far i have tried-
SPB shell 3D - expensive, and still needs some work for are device, but looks cool. More looks over substance
Launcher Pro - Its OK, just basic
Go laucher, Go Locker, Go Contacts - Good attempt, just not as refined and not optimized for the screen resolution of the note
The note, hardware wise, is the best Phone (yes it is a phone) I have owned. Personally i feel touchwiz needs some work.
Now others may love touhwiz, So i do not want this thread to turn into a fanboi thread of either way! This is just my opinion, its not intended to irritate anybody.
For one, i would love to see a sense rom for such great hardware!
Overall i like the note, and with any luck ICS will null my gripes.
Sorry to OP if i have hijacked this thread, Just sparked all my (common) sense thoughts off at once
Also best place for questions is the Q&A section.
Take it easy

For me TouchWiz and Sense is same ****. Go Launcher is normal. Holo is the best launcher I ever use. I hope samsung will not forget or ignore about this.
It was hard to get used to touchwiz after Htv Sense for first few days. I tried to find similar widgets to make it more look and function like htc sense. Then as more I get used to touchwiz the less I hated it. If I had a choice I would still prefer htc sense as already mentioned it is pretty well designed graphically and functionally out of the box. But I discover some touchwiz features missing in htc sense too. For instance uninstalling apps right from the app drawer is awesome just as practical as uninstalling on iphone. Samsung touchwiz seems to have it all as separate widgets and os wise but they are not as a whole package in terms of visual integrity and not as functional as sense considering each app separately. Some of features like remote tracking is not even in default rom unless you add them urself later which takes some research to even find out it's even possible. HTC sense serves it all as a whole package , even the navigating software you can purchase it right from the htc location widget and it is adapted to rest of widgets. Contact integration from different accounts like facebook, google, twitter etc is merged automatically on htc sense by choice which is missing on touchwiz. You have to add your htcsense user id and pass only once on Sense and it is recognized automatically on related apps like "htc likes" but on touchwiz you have to add your samsung account each time again and again for apps like "samsung apps" etc... Considering outstanding hardware features of Gnote I have no intension to go back to htc just for sense as none of their devices are even close to gnote recently but I would definitely like to see samsung engineers put more effort on improving touchwiz in terms of compatible graphic design, integrated all-in features , user friendly ui to make it more competitive against htc sense which seems to be only superiority of htc devices still left.

Not going to happen people. Have you EVER seen a non HTC device with Sense? Correct, and that won't change.

Im surprised it took 4 months for this kind of thread to pop up. I will never understand the ram hogging hype. It reminds me of iphone users bragging about a million apps so they can swipe the screen from left to right doing nothing.
But all in all we are using android which gives us plenty of options. If a clone of sense doesnt work. Theres always that option of making it yourself.
I swore launcher pro widgets were a exact replica of htc sense. Matched up with a theme and it was good to go. Plus that customizable widget app that did more things then htc lockscreen. But im guessing this isnt good enough.
Sense used to be great and now it's just too bloated
Thanks for the responses. I guess its each to here own. Now i have been assigned to this forum, i shall put this thread in its correct place.
Thread Moved To Q&A
sense just has the best dialer avaible. the touchwiz dialer just doesnt find if i search for "uiop" and there is clearly a "qwertz uiop" in the contacts. sense dialer finds that.
aldo the touchwiz keyboard is odd... long press makes caps lock chars... sense gives you signs like "+ -*& %". i solved that with swiftkey x... but for the dialer theres no replacement right now. ex dialer is the closest but it needs 10 seconds or more to load the call log. thats not acceptable.
i like that the phone features of a phone are excelent, not just satisfiyng.
Why are there two of the exact same thread..?
From the exact same person..
Sense is an abomination, why would you want to buy the fastest phone available just to bog it down with bloatware, reducing it to a level of performance of a 1GHz single-core? But, to each his own - sadly, no way to make a Sense rom for a non-HTC device, if only for legality reasons. Sense is, at least partly, proprietary code.
Sense is the best out of the box android UI. Period.
I've just recently got my Galaxy Note and I'll admit I do miss the sense from my HTC Desire HD. Personally, it seems more intuitive when it comes to shortcuts, integration and it is visually appealing. However, I know it slows down the phone as it did that to my HTC Desire HD, especially when I updated to the latest sense. It's very laggy and the amount of animations are completely unnecessary. I don't need an animation of the page swivelling onto the screen when unlocking the phone. I'll miss the ease of access to certain things, but I want to get use to touchwiz.
There is an option to get Sense 3.0 or 3.5

Sometimes HD2 with sense onboard acts smoother than Note with TW.
So if you want Sense, HD2 is your perfect choice.
Its hardly possible to port Sense to Note or other non-HTC devices.

I want to start a thread to find out what the majority of people want for their Vivid. I think we were close to perfection with some of the GB Sense 3.5 ROM's. Now there is ICS... Take the time to tour other devices XDA threads and current ICS ROM's. There is starting to be some really cool stuff out there. Remember, this is just a wish list some or none of this may be currently possible now or ever. Along with all of the standard root, debloat, de-odexed etc, personally, I would like:
OC
Sense 4.0
Amaze Camera/(or other new boss future camera)
enhanced beats/(other sound tweak)
better battery life
Possible new theme selection (which I am told is not possible yet for Sense 4.0)
Wi/Fi Tether
FYI, I saw a cool non-sense ICS ROM out there that has a really cool sense like lockscreen and a bunch of launcher tweaks. It was for the Desire, I think...
AOSP gingerbread or ICS
I love stock and Sense 3.6.

Definitely this.
For starters either Sense 3.0 with ICS or Sense 4.0. Sense 3.5 is horribly ugly and 3.6 is better but the proprietary apps Music, Reader, Watch, etc look MUCH better on Sense 3.0. Just not feeling the bland straight edges and all black.

Better battery life ...

Mostly, I'm happy with the stock AT&T vivid [after Rooting & de-bloating, etc] ... I just moved from a mostly stock HTC Rhodium, so Android is a whole new world of fun & learning.
I'm not sure exactly how Siri works on the iphone 4s but you can hold the search button on android devices and it lets you send a text, make a call, look up directions, listen to a certain song/artist/album, send an email, set an alarm, get a map of a place, go to a certain url, make a note to yourself, or google search things. It just doesn't talk to you...

This is from an article... "DiClemente notes that Google is expected to offer something called “Assistant,” as part of the next version of its Android operating system, version 5.0, dubbed “Jelly Bean.” That will be a more advanced voice-recognition search than Google currently offers, with the ability to tap into Gmail, the “Google+” social networking service, etc."
I agree, it would be awesome!
Am running Unlocked, Rooted, OTA, the ICS with 3.6, I like it but would love:
Capychimp's APM from Sensation
more settings on notification bar, like BC's or RCmix3D
a music player that allows sound enhancements over BT
and of course wifi hotspot
I would be happy just with these.
I have already sent Capy a message asking if it was possible to get the APM, and how this old fart can put it on, now to find the rest.
Cheers
