Getting HTC widgets from Desire to run on N1

I am wondering if anyone has been able to pull the HTC widgets (weather, friend stream, twitter/peep, and stock) and run them on the N1 rom?

They should all be apks in /system/app and during load time they should automatically register for widgets (service?). There may be some dependent service like HTC preference manager or something...but anyone with the desire rom who wants to give it a shot? :D

(I am back to the stock rom for now as I am on the road)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
cant do it, just about all of those apps/widgets are based off of the rosie frameworks, they wont just run on a stock nexus
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
I have not been able to figure that out. It seems a bit convaluted then just pulling apks. When I do I get all kinds of errors messages. I believe those could be tied to the HTC framework which would make porting those over not possible.
[Nexus One Android Development] PhoneMasta:
Crap, not good news. I guess I will have to resort to writing some widgets :) Yes, I know exists widgets for these but none of them look as good as the HTC one :-/ Let the coding begin!
[Nexus One Android Development] newjaruz:
is it just me or are there no transition animations on sense. I wonder if paul can implement the transition animation from the Nexus rom into the Desire one.

Google voice workaround!!!!!!!!!!!

Ove, I tried the routine that you stated and I think Cortez Might be confused.. :confused: Not in a bad way, but check it... I did the change and yes it did give me the IPhone Emulation but no connection when trying to make a call.. Actually when i pressed call it says preparing call but goes back to home screen.. BUT!!!!!! I did find something else.. If you REvert back to Android in UAString.. Go back to the browser and search GV, you get to the site.. It's really nifty, it shows it all, even better than the APP itself.. SOOOOOO..... I gritted my teeth, And Viola, I chose a contact, pressed call, it asks you from what Number (if more than one, like I) and pressed call. After that, It called me, with my google Number, then when I answered it started connecting the call.. Really Ove, NO FREAKING ISSUE.. iT WORKS>>

This is like an app I used on My IPHONE 3GS (before i almost burned down att) that worked GV like this.. Instead this is for Android Phones.. PERFECT!!! From here I say, Keep your idea and present it to Paul as he needs to hear our input on this... Even though.. I really could say F a GV fix now.. It's even better through the browser.. Really, I think I will do this even on Cyanogen and Enom.. Get back to me.. With happiness and Joy... :D
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Google voice workaround!!!!!!!!!!!

GnOve Ignore This Post.... Lol...

Okay, Thanks to Gnove, Corttez, and Myself GD, We have concluded that the workaround for GV IS HERE!!!! Now, Some may have known this, But, MOST didn't.. The funny part is that is has been sitting RIGHT in OUR FACE!!!! :eek:

Creds of course to Cortez and Ove for this.. First suggestion was to change the UAString to IPHONE to Emulate the Device which allowed access to a Dialer right from the Broswer... Indeed it was Intriguing. But it failed (on My end At least) So I reverted back to Android... Refreshed and Landed back on the GV web page which is just Like the APP, and sorted to find a contact, (wifey), pressed call, it calls me with the identification of my GV Number and once YOu answer it now starts calling the Initial person you wanted to call.. Since i have been trying to find a fix for this for ages, since A1, she freaking stood up and jumped on me kissed me.. Wow, what i get for being an Idiot and not checking there first... Lol..

So YEAH.. no more calling your GV number hoping to remember the number you have to dial.. Finally, an end to this GV MADNESS until it is fixed within the ROM itself.. :cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] GNOve:
YAY!! for team work hahahaha.

I seriously think our issue with google voice is the same problem we have with some apps not showing. LOCATION.

If we modify the necessary strings into making the united states the default locale i think a lot of our problems with market and GV will be over.

From my findings at least that is where i am leaning on.

LOL goddriven love your care bear dude. Hes the one we never saw in the care bears giving love or kndness because he was too busy eating and sleeping :)
[Nexus One Android Development] thalib_atc:
so paul will be returning today and hope to get some fixes..
[Nexus One Android Development] erichoatwork:
can someone pls tell me if you can get pictures displayed in HTML emails in gmail app?

I would really want to confirm this bug.. thx..
[Nexus One Android Development] myn1:
i can. can you see the "Show pictures" button in the email? after pressing it, the pictures show up.
[Nexus One Android Development] erichoatwork:
thanks so much for the reply.. mine doesn't work, after pressing the "Show pictures" the pictures are shown as "?"s... it really bugs me! :(
[Nexus One Android Development] :
ummm, i love the desire rom, but i have a lil question. but can the nexus camera be brought over to the desire? i like having flash, and i also like how it integrates with the 3d gallery
[Nexus One Android Development] Worsty:
Having the same issue with the "?" showing in gmail when using A10. Don't recall having this when i was on CM 5.0.3.1 previously.
[Nexus One Android Development] erichoatwork:
This is a bug then~ anyone also having this problem, pls rise your hand!
[Nexus One Android Development] avocadopat:
same here

only the htc mail can show the pictures
[Nexus One Android Development] avocadopat:
same here

not only in the gmail app

some rss reader app cannot show the picture as well
[Nexus One Android Development] erichoatwork:
not only this is annoying.. try using google earth or any other apps which use the browser object, pics also appear as "?"s whenever html is shown.
[Nexus One Android Development] themadmen:
same here too every time i hit show pic in Gmail app not image appear.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Zzzz.... Sleepy and achey but i'm back! :D

Now, what did I miss? ;)

P
[Nexus One Android Development] sheharyarali:
Htc screen

Hi

Im stuck at the HTC boot screen for over 15 mins now. Any idea what happened? Ive done everything correctly.
[Nexus One Android Development] pjcforpres:
Did you wipe both data and dalvik cache?

Have you tried doing a battery pull, then booting back up to see if it just had an odd hang up?
[Nexus One Android Development] lightforce:
woot after like 5 tried my BT worked
[Nexus One Android Development] Iman07:
when can we see app2sd working? all my apps are trapped on my sd card and i need to unleash them!!
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
It's strange that people are having such a wide variety of problems.

I flashed alpha 7 and have so far not had any random reboots, problems syncing, white splash screens, market not working, boot loops, not booting at all, adb not working, etc.

The only problems that I can confirm are:

1. Voice input doesn't work

2. The wallpaper glitch

Someone mentioned that when on WiFi it also shows 3G. Mine did that for like 10 seconds after connecting to WiFi then went away.
[Nexus One Android Development] bryuliro:
This ROM is amazing is so fast its working perfect for me and this is the alpha release I can't wait to see how the stable version is going to be :eek:
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
The only glitches on this ROM are related to things HTC will fix themselves in future releases I think!

Glad you're all enjoying it! :)

P
[Nexus One Android Development] mikebeatrice:
Isn't it stuff like this that got the last thread deleted? It's a freakin alpha.

If you've never alpha or beta tested before, this isn't meant for feature requests or "when is this going to work" conversations... this is meant for us to test it (and try to break it by putting it through normal use), report back bugs and how to repeat them. Once all the basic stuff is working, it will move into beta phase... this is typically where features are added and tuned. Once all of the features are in and working, it goes to either Release Candidate or production, where it's *hopefully* bug free and stable.
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
paul, is there a way that you can enable MT in maps?
[Nexus One Android Development] m00moo:
Paul i believe the wallpaper glitch wasnt there in alpha 5. maybe wrong but pretty sure of it
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Dude ditto on this... I guess its all about the use people provide to their devices.. now I feel like I bought a Htc Desire my damned self... I am using this as my everyday Rom, shi*, I've been on it since alpha one. I just updated cyan and kept it mving... So everyone with issues. Wipe completly, dalvick cache and all. Sign in and move on... everything works... everything.... Congratulations Nexus owners, you now own a desire too...
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
God Bless Your Soul...

Couldn't have said it any better.
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
+1. This is def. ready for everyday use. I see no reason why not to use it. I am curious though on how it will effect battery life compared to CM or stock ROMs
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
A2SD coming in the kitchen (for MoDaCo Plus / Ad Free members), which will be online soon. I won't be putting it in the base.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
HTC will probably fix this in a future release but yeah, I might be able to.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
It was. It's in the base build.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Freaking thrilled...

PAUL. Glitches where, all we see is a masterpiece. A freaking masterpiece. Can you check into the Google voice issue for me... that'd be a done deal after that...
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
I'm gonna drop the undervolted .32 kernel and modules in and see how that goes! :)

P
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Now we even get better battery life too... a2sd... Jesus. There goes Jesus my cat again...:ee:k:

By the way battery has been flawless here...
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
can we flash it ourselves or will it break the rom?
[Nexus One Android Development] tizzl10:
Good to have you back.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
A big thank you to MoDaCo member '7500usr', who has amazingly donated a Nexus One and a Dock, which allows me to test dock functionality and also dedicate a device to development, rather than reflashing my main device. What a dude! ;)

P
[Nexus One Android Development] tizzl10:
Bravo! what a stand up guy. hey i7500usr, mind sending me one for development? :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Wow, what a kind offering. Nice to have you back hope your vacation was nice and relaxing.
[Nexus One Android Development] grainysand:
Whoa. Now that's quite a gesture; makes us poor peasants' Modaco subscriptions look stingy by comparison, haha.

Welcome back!
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
If anyone is interested, I have the stock Camera app running fine on the Desire ROM... which obviously means you can have working LED flash and 5 megapixel mode. Will post details when i've tested a little more... (note, it replaces the HTC app currently rather than running alongside it).

Edit: Have both Camera apps working concurrently now no problem.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] DocRambone:
Any news about missing touch buttons lights?

It a real stopper.. To not be able to use phone in dark ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Not really sure what manup did, but I have the flash working on my build now too.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] Worsty:
Welcome back!

Looking forward to future updates...
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Fixed the missing apps in market issue. New build to follow later today! :)

P
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Oh yeah, and dock works fine, will add that option into the kitchen...

P
[Nexus One Android Development] k2bk2b:
I like that!!!!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
So this is weird... has anyone else noticed that the HTC Camera app takes pictures at 3MP regardless of whether you choose a lower resolution? :D

P
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
HTC Camera now working with flash and at 5 Megapixels. Huzzah! ;)

P
[Nexus One Android Development] grainysand:
Nice job! Especially considering that the HTC camera app is such a huge improvement over the stock app.
[Nexus One Android Development] Namuna:
that's one hell of a way to say you're back from vacation! :D
[Nexus One Android Development] momo254:
has the sms timestamp issue been fixed?
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Welcome Home...

Hey there buddy, nice to have you back with us... we hope your time was well spent with the family and SOME GOOD SNOW... lol.... I wanted to say much hasn't changed but the GHOST workaround GnOve, Cortez, and myself found for all desire users.. with GV... besides that all is well, welcome back.. hope you got all your WELL DESERVED rest.. Hopefully, you saw the error in the Rom is the locale in it.. it needs to see the u.s. as the primary band in the u.s...
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Please elaborate! :)

P
[Nexus One Android Development] lablunk:
I don't know if this has been addressed already as I searched through the thread but I couldn't find anything: my wifi has been adverse to connecting to open networks. I will have to manually select the network maybe four or five times before it ever connects.
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Location...

Okay, Paul, the issue GNOVE and myself keep seeing is errors in the logcats based on LocaLe.. GnOve, found that by changing the UAString in the debug section, you will get the android, desktop, and iPhone emulation. We tried the iPhone, accessed GV correctly, through the web browser not the app.. market was the same, it then showed the missing apps ( you fixed) and all.. interesting.. so in conclusion I think, no we think, that the issue behind a lot of your madness is the madness of how large and scattered the desire Rom is... the location it presents to the network when placed in the us... etc...

I hope this may jingle something in that genius mind of yours.. we only try to heed our help for the best of all of us..
[Nexus One Android Development] shonanthebarbarianTP2:
DUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!! Exactly what I was thinkin man ! You are sick man ! Did you get the delay factor fixed ? In King's build the flash works BUT the camera doesn't take the picture quick enough to catch the flash .:D
[Nexus One Android Development] himmatwala:
I am really getting impatient to try this build!

any ETA?
[Nexus One Android Development] GNOve:
Well if thsi is fixed and missing apps are showing that means the possibility of google voice working natively is high. I believe the missing apps were missing because the location the market was reading was not that of the U.S.A am I correct?

With the current build I can go t ospotify.com and it recognises me within a serviceable area. And this service is only available in europe.

The camera& flash is now functioning coherently?
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Said The Same Thing...

Ove, I said the exact same thing. If Paul fixed the missing apps, then the location must be done correctly.. or close to that matter.. After finding the GHOST solution to GV, I've been happier ever since.. I also made a thread in General for those who don't stop by here.. Some cool peps dropped some knowledge there too.. with a link aswell..

Thanks for rocking out on that with us... Amazing how we worry about coding and such and that was right in our face. Lol.
[Nexus One Android Development] apy1412:
I have done everything but I am getting to the HTC white screen and then it gets stuck. Any solution?
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
That's Weird....

Okay, there's two possible solutions... you didn't wipe when coming from another Rom. Wipe the dalvik cache and the.wipe factory reset... then flash the rom...

Next is you might have an old alpha, if you downloaded today, follow the above procedure... This was happening in earlier stages of Desire... It did happen once to me when I forgot to wipe from Cyanogen.
[Nexus One Android Development] kevinniven:
Rom

Thanks for the great ROM. Have you guys seen this on Engadget?

Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 iPhone patents
[Nexus One Android Development] GNOve:
I know hahaha

We look for complexity when somethings have an easy solutuion hahahaha lesson learned.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Yeah, but please keep this thread on topic.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
OK peeps, i'm going to be updating the kitchen to Alpha 11 shortly, with the prebaked downloads following afterwards. Full changelog coming up, but changes are primarily a new Tecknologist .33 kernel and modules, optional dock compatible desk clock, camera with working 5 megapixel mode and flash and the market fix. All confirmed working here, i'd like kitchen users to confirm the same before I post the prebaked builds (we know the market is a bit odd, a fix for one isn't always a fix for all).

Stay tuned...

P
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Bluetooth?

Quick laughter for you Paul.. Now that were all merry and sharing fixes, ideas and wat not.. I know you know your gonna get bombarded again over the bluetooth issue... Have you concluded a minor or final adjustment on this.. Where the masses can be more like my CareBare... and.... ride the wave.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
No change on Bluetooth yet, since it's really the one remaining issue i'd like to fix, i'll be concentrating on that as long as the Camera and Market work for everyone.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] apy1412:
Thanks it worked...I did not wipe
[Nexus One Android Development] thalib_atc:
Hey paul i got an upgrade and baked a rom.. BUT the thing is that the internal memory is very much lower like 80 mb rather than alpha 10 which has something like 130 mb or more.. Can u help on this or anyother who knows how to increase the internal memory...
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Your welcome. Always make sure you wipe coming and leaving this rom. Reason is because of the size diff and where it all gets partitioned in the rom and mem. Always keep that in mind. Plus go check out Modaco kitchen if you want apps2sd and I suggest the new radio... works better.. its in his link....
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Can I flash from the kitchen without a wipe still?
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
OK peeps, Alpha 11 is in the kitchen - please test and report feedback, particularly in the areas highlighted in the changelog below. Prebaked downloads will follow in a short while.

Nandroid backup first, a wipe is not essential unless you encounter issues (please try a wipe before reporting a problem), everything listed works as intended on my test handset.

Enjoy! :)

P

Known Issues

Bluetooth does not work reliably.

Changelog

Alpha 11

[Nexus One Android Development] minogue:
Alpha 11 sounds great. Ill definately become premium this week when my money clears in my bank account
[Nexus One Android Development] showson1:
You are the MAN!

I just baked and I'm downloading now, I'll test the h*ll out of it and update this post with my results.

I sense another unproductive day.. I swear I'm gonna' get fired becuase of you, King and Cyanogen. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
For info, this won't become Beta until Bluetooth is working properly (if that's even possible before the next drop). We've got a lot further than I thought we would tho given the right state the original ROM is in! :D

P
[Nexus One Android Development] mika91:
Hi,

I have 2 questions:

Is the kernel undervolted ?

How is battery life ?

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] pablo1215:
Hey Paul I just noticed on the camera the flash works sort of. Now this may just be my particular phone and this build but it was the same way when I tried Kings rom. Basically the flash goes off but the timing is wrong and the picture it takes is still dark. Still appreciate all the hard work of course just giving my feedback on the rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
You Did it...

Everyone... om my end.. I NOW OWN BLUETOOTHLESS DESIRE... thanks P, you did it.. i loVe the way the camera is not out of sync to the flash... I am sorry to say this... well so I think I see.a diff from other builds....so before manup and king rip this from you and claim... suck it guys.. Lol.. just kidding...

Back in a few hours and Paul is done.. all we need is Bluetooth.. but hey who really give a sh** on that now.. so Paul take your sweet time.. oh and sorry.. I am excited like the first day desire came out..

Paul, on my end, your good to go..
[Nexus One Android Development] jchap2k:
I still am hoping for a GV fix for the app as well. Don't like having to open a browser to make a call. Rather just click on my contacts and have it automatically call with GV.
[Nexus One Android Development] showson1:
My findings.

Well, I was going to update my previous post with results, but thought it might be more easily seen if I make a new post.

What I found, concerning the market and camera.

Market issue appears to be resolved, I can now see all the apps that were showing up missing in the previous build. :)

On the camera, 5MP appears to work great.

On my phone the flash is still out of sync. It comes on but the timing between the flash and the snap are off so all the pictures come out black.

I installed it by wiping the user data, cache and ext3 partition.

I baked the ROM with all the defaults, but excluded footprints and WaveSecure.
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Im testing it now...

I am getting on that now.. just wAnted to make sure it was right... so this way others can see..

P, I noticed something small, the camera time is not off, but I think it is a few milliseconds off, if you will, sometimes I catch a great flashed picture, sometimes its the same dark.. ill keep looking..

Market A+....
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Alpha 11 now also available in pre-baked form to all in the first post. Enjoy! :D

P
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Flash timing seems to be variable, was OK on 95% of my test shots, I think for perfection we need HTC to finish the app. :P

P
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
I agree..

I highly agree.. as I stated before its your exact words now.. its a 95% type of thing.. it shows and catches correctly.. just a few times I saw it didnt... well all is well here still...
[Nexus One Android Development] showson1:
Unfortunately I'm getting zero percent so far. ;)

Fantastic job on the ROM though man, we all have to remember it's still beta and you're doing a KILLER job!

(as is King as well, to give him his props). :)

-----

So after reading more it looks like GodDriven is getting 95% flash success as well.

I've taken about 20-25 shots and the timing hasn't been right in any of them, is there anything that you can think of that I missed or am not doing correctly?

Again I wiped the data, cache and EXT3 and baked the ROM with all but Footprints and WaveSecure.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] himmatwala:
My flash is completely out of sync. it is like 0% for me.
