anyone know when or if the sense roms will be getting 3g internet?
The problems are in proprietary lib dependencies - HTC apks depend on HTC libs which don't work on X8 directly, so we have the problem when copying SE libs to Sense system.
ahh, okay, wishful thinking can't do any damage, good luck!

So the cdma hero is a slug. Don't try and tell me otherwise unless you've used something as fast as an iphone 3gs, blackberry, etc. And if you're saying it's great but comparing it to something other than 1.5 htc sense ui then that can't help either.
How much improvement does a clean rom on a rooted phone give? (basically just nixing sense ui alltogether)
Vanilla android should help speed things up significangtly, however I'd try some other things before doing that. I just recently installed a compressed Rosie, removed all the applications and widgets that I don't use and disabled a bunch of start up items, now the whole thing is quicker it seems.
Just wanted to ask why it is that the 2.1 roms out there don't have the new launcher or gallery apps?
For me the most exciting thing about 2.1 is the new launcher but every 2.1 rom I have tried still has the old pull-up tray. I was under the impression that the main things that made 2.1 visually different to 2.0 were the new launcher and gallery?
You have to remember that the developers are trying to "port" this stuff over from the Nexus One... a new phone with a 1ghz processor and more RAM than that of our G1s and MT3Gs...
That new Nexus ONE also has 3D hardware acceleration. This is the primary reason why the gallery and app menus from 2.1 "Eclair" work well on it and not our phones.
Have patience; we'll get them soon, but it will take time to get it working.
Thanks for the response rbrainard.
I get that it probably won't run very well on our older tech. But I just found it weird that it wasn't included in at least some of the roms just as a proof of concept type thing?
Or, is it just that those two particular apps won't run on our phones yet? Constant FC's or something?
It's more or less a "backporting" issue...
Like taking a sweet looking Windows Vista Aero theme and getting it to work on Windows 2000... ??? If that's a good analogy?
The way those softwares are currently developed is specifically for they hardware intended... As we have different hardware... a software revamp is required.
This rom has them, as well as live wallpapers, in the beta version. I've only used the basic rom though, so I can't comment on how it works.
Yeah i saw that one, really impressive that they've managed to get it to work so far! I guess now we just need to wait until someone manages to resize and optimize the App to work on our smaller screens / processors.
I read online today that Sony has released binary drivers for their Xperia S phone, in support of the vanilla AOSP build they're trying to do for it. I did some Googling, and I noticed that Xperia S uses Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon as a chipset, and it turns out that chipset is really similar to the APQ8060 we've got in our beloved Touchpads (enough so that Qualcomm lists them both in the same whitepaper). Is there much of a chance that the stuff Sony released can be shoehorned in to help us?
I downloaded them from http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/software-binaries-for-xperia-s and tried to shoehorn them in to the unofficial CM10 build that's floating around. A lot of the binary files were available in that build, but a lot of the Sony ones had different filesizes, so something in them has changed. CM10 wouldn't load after I added the new files, so it's not going to be that easy, and there's an EULA on the Sony binaries (which I think I broke trying to load them on my TP). It's entirely possible I put the binaries in to the CM10 install wrong...I used a rather convoluted process (booted into WebOS, loop-mounted cm-system, copied over each file one-by-one into lib and etc, then fixed permissions in TWRP...there must be an easier way, but I couldn't immediately figure one out).
I wonder if they might work better in a more vanilla AOSP build...I doubt I can build it myself (old Pentium M laptop with only 1.5GB RAM), but perhaps someone else can take a crack at it.
this would be interesting to see if it works
This worked for me on CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836331
I needed both the libs and the APK -- the APK off my original ROM did not work with those libraries (you could probably yank the same libs from your backup and work with the original APK... probably).
On the other hand, I still think I like Kingsoft Office better and it is free so....
Just thought someone might find it useful.
It also "worked" for me but with one caveat.
it's the wrong version of Polaris Office.
Not as many Cloud storage options, UI is different, etc. I don't know if they haven't updated the APK and libs or what, I just know that the version there is quite different from what shipped with the Tab 2.

Doesn't work for me...
Hi!
I searched around the forums but I couldn't get a decent answer.
My Question - Is there any way to get the Sense Apps working on AOSP and/or GPE roms on the HTC One?
Background info - I know AOSP lacks sense framework but has anyone been able to port a flashable zip for minimalistic needs?
I'm particularly after the Contacts, Widgets, Camera and Gallery Apps.
Thanks!
No, Sense apps require Sense.
GPE ROMs are available, but you won't have Sense, so I'm not sure what you expect.
