There's a thread in the Dev forum from a chap attempting to port the Nexus/Modaco Camera across to OpenDesire.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Danifamous:
YES! that would be fantastic! I'd happily buy him a pint for that :D

Just installing OD as of right now as it is.

My phone has more Sense than me...

and i DONT like it :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] HorNet505:
I want the complete HTC sense package, especially HTC SYNC
[Desire Themes and Apps] Cactus42:
Well, the clever money would be on making a modular type system - say a flashable zip with the necessary HTC Framework files (I don't see why that should be such an issue to someone with the knowledge, it's just the motivation by the look of things) then surely you could just use the original APK's from a Sense rom.

I just wish I was clever enough.
[Desire Themes and Apps] vfreeze_31:
That all sounds great, but what I would like to see is maybe a port and enhance to the FM Radio.

But also things like the calendar and better text selection would also be nice.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dawson258:
yeah i'd love the stock people, messages, phone, camera and gallery apps too, i went to cyanogen for a few hours and just didnt like it without these apps, i searched for replacements too but i couldnt find one which i liked as much..
[Desire Themes and Apps] krizno:
totally agree I'm running cm 6 and the camera app looks cool but sucks and is so slow this is a great idea don't care about the contacts thought I wish it would sync there facebook picture like the stock contacts did
[Desire Themes and Apps] tqen:
I actually prefer the customisability of Jorte Calendar over the one on my Desire. I can make it fit where it needs to as opposed to dedicating an entire screen to it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] chris2busy:
why? you manage to even fill 3/7 screens? like ever?
[Desire Themes and Apps] dawson258:
has somebody still not found a way for this?
[Desire Themes and Apps] ColombianCoffee:
I tried getting all of the Sense apps from Flipz's kitchen, but it kept giving me an error. Yet, I'm not entirely sure that my USB canle is working properly. Someone else may want to give it a try to see if it will work.
[Desire Themes and Apps] knudsen19:
I can't find the specific kitchen you are talking about, only the one from the thread: "Cook Android is Online (Cook your HTC Desire roms online)" in HTC Desire development. Maybe it's the one you are talking about, but how would u then copy the sense apks from the system?
[Desire Themes and Apps] madman_cro:
bump on this. woud realy love htc gallery app on aosp since that 3d galery is crap.

camera woudnt be bad too.
[Desire Themes and Apps] jaywong:
me too. right now I'm using Camera 360 but it doesn't support video format. So I wish for HTCCamera.
[Desire Themes and Apps] vokkE:
This would be REALLY awesome. Only thing keeping me from AOSP roms are HTC apps, and just the day before I was thinking to myself why on earth someone hasn't ported them. :/

To be honest, it would be too awesome to get them. Like so awesome my brain could freeze for a while.
[Desire Themes and Apps] farik:
I would love the camera application, sense is a battery drainer so I'm using defrost but hate the camera app
[Desire Themes and Apps] jfassbinder:
HTC Camera, HTC Contacts (incl. smart dial) would be great. I would really love to see that happen! :rolleyes:
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
+1 for all of the above mentioned :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] hilllomax:
A I what for Christmas is those HTC apks on my Cyanogen rom
[Desire Themes and Apps] leychay:
+1 for HTC camera.

and it would be great if some one can do the HTC smart dial.

you just type your friend's name, and the contact will appear. :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] 1an:
Is it not possible to just pull the apk:s with ADB and then push them into cyanogen, MIUI or any other ROM?
[Desire Themes and Apps] 1an:
No, that did not work out pretty well, FC on three different HTC apps installed in MIUI.
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
come on no one realy cares about this anymore....we need a dev to fix this
[Desire Themes and Apps] wuub:
ok just bringing this one up ;)

The only thing i don't like (nor understand) is the camera app on AOSP roms.

Quite franckly why on earth did Google come up with such a ****ty app ?

HTC Camera on Desire is perfect !!!

I'm sure there is a way to port it to AOSP roms (like Amethyst RC6 -> Great ROM)

Any one can do this ?

I will most definetly donate for this !!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
I agree

Xda app
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
I totally agree, the stock camera is ****ty as hell, with the HTC camera I get perfectly sharp and vivid pictures.. porting of the HTCCamera and HTCAlbum would be AWESOME, as the 3D Gallery on AOSP ROMs sucks my balls pretty hard..
[Desire Themes and Apps] wuub:
;)

Well I don't know about the album because i use quickpic (former pic folder) which is to me the best picture app : http://www.appbrain.com/app/quickpic/com.alensw.PicFolder#

I've seen on anroidforum is that some guy ported the HTC camera to Nexus one using a fake framework for the app... So it's possible !!

Just need to find someone with the will and the knowledge... and who likes donations ;)

please peeps ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] FYMXSi:

HTC Camera on Desire rulez
[Desire Themes and Apps] hmsq:

Maybe this will be of some use!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Dodolom:
Still nothing on this one??? I am using the Cyanogen 7 Nightlies on MT4G and just hate the camera app
[Desire Themes and Apps] yogstr1:
no word on this as yet huh..
[Desire Themes and Apps] yugoport:
I´m waiting for this too, will definitly donate to someone who can do this..
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
pushiiing :D

I keep coming back to Sense-ROMs, just because of the simply EXCELLENT camera and gallery apps.. so porting these would be pretty badass ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] daniel.mitran:
Pretty badass and almost impossible :)

But would make Oxygen perfect :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] DesirableHTC:
I'll stick my vote in for HTC camera app on CM7. As has already been said, the AOSP camera app is horrendous!! Please please please can some talented dev take this up, he will be a hero in my eyes!! HTC cam app FTW!!! lol
[Desire Themes and Apps] gippy2:
Two words - If Only
[Desire Themes and Apps] DesirableHTC:
It would be nice mate. You would have thought that Google would have made a nicer looking cam app than the one it has now.
[Desire Themes and Apps] CrazyCypher:
I like HTC's camera app because it really makes a lot better pictures than stock camera app...

It would be nice that author of this thread would make a poll, so that we can vote what would we prefer to be ported...

I had problems with stock dialer as it does not have T9 search feature... I found GO Dialer is preety good replacement...

So my first vote would be fot HTC Camera app, that is the most needed on AOSP roms...
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
I second that, found QuickPic as a pretty good replacement for the horrendous stock 3D Gallery. But the camera is just sad, really :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] KapteinKing:
The native android dialer and contacts/people apps works for me, but +1 for porting the sense camera app. Google really needs to do something with it, it down right sucks as it is now.

Also sense calendar app+widget would be really sweet on vanilla android.

really hope these ports will work. Calendar is actually the only reason i'm using senseHD rom on my desire.
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
Same here, camera is the only reason I'm using AuraxTSense ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] DesirableHTC:
I also used to use sense HD rom just for the camera UI and calender ( as it synced my facebook birthdays) but i came to the conclusion that CM rom is so much better than all sense roms, there is so much room for customisation with it, unlike sense roms. I now use Vignette for my default camera, so much better than the stock google camera app.

Come on DEV'S port the camera PLEASE!!!!! :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
I have also switched to CM-7 in the meantime.. love the storage you get with the CM-7 HBOOT and the camera options are quite ok. now i wish there was an option for 5MP widescreen :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] abokamel:
+111111111
[Desire Themes and Apps] hettab:
you can tray the miui camera app , i don't know how i did it but i have it backed up whit titanium , and i can restore it in cm7 , and it works perfect
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
yes, but it is not as good as the sense camera, and that is what we want ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Andyy2k3:
+1

Someone made it for the Nexus One so it's possible, isn't it?
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
+1 for that
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
pushiiiing - come on people, this needs attention ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Fightspit:
I bet it will not be possible to do that unless HTC gives us the Sense source codes But you know HTC will not want to do that.
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
I heard there's already a way to have the HTC Gallery in CM7 on the Nexus One. So it should be possible for Desire too, right?
[Desire Themes and Apps] /rant/:
My story in summary: HTC Desire with stock ROM and great camera, then flashed HTC Desire HD/Z ROMs with great cameras. Then flashed a Gingerbread ROM... where the heck is my camera?!? :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
hahaha :D

for me it was more like "meh, camera, whatever... I miss sense :("

:D
[Desire Themes and Apps] hmsq:
Just took the MIUI camera and removed the existing one in gingervillain 1.9 I also replace the lib files, so now use miui camera which I feel is a better improvement!
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
Improvement, yes, but not as good as the sense camera :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] hmsq:
Yes very true, but an improvement none the less! :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
I think even my old phone's camera (Nokia 6120c) was better than the AOSP one :p:p
[Desire Themes and Apps] bigdan35:
If this was a facebook comment, I would definitely like this.

I know exactly what you mean though.

I know I may sound a little bit dumb (I'm not a coder, in fact far from it - Geologist & Geographer!) but how difficult is it to actually upscale the camera resolution? We have a 5mp camera on Sense, and when it goes to AOSP, it's basically less than 1.3mp. Personally I think it's a joke and in fact it's half tempting me to go back to Sense for that reason alone. The only thing which is holding me off from going back to Sense is the fact that battery life is possibly the worst thing known to man.

I'm honestly wanting to learn to code just for this, I will do anything necessary to get a decent camera on AOSP.

I've also never used phones like the Nexus One or Nexus S, but do they have the same camera resolutions as AOSP? If not - is there a possibility to port them? Surely they wouldn't sell such a good phone with a camera just as good as a 1997 webcam.

/End of Rant.

Dan
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
My words bro :)

Although I must say, as of now, there is little to no difference in battery life between AOSP and Sense-ROMs. I am running Cool-Z ROM (Desire Z port) and can make it through a day and a half without problems. Kernels have been developed and optimized to max battery life..

<rant>

I'm going to stay with Sense, because of these simple reasons:

1) Sense is, hands down, MUCH more beautiful and eye-catching than any stock or themed AOSP ROM (I mean really BY FAR :D)

2) Max compatibility with our beloved Desire (graphics libraries and whatnot), therefore smoother and better experience (Unlike the choppy 3D Gallery that scales images DOWN :mad:)

3) The camera actually HAS a widescreen option!!

4) everything simply WORKS.

</rant>
[Desire Themes and Apps] bigdan35:
That seems pretty epic if you ask me. If you can get a day and a half (more or less) out of a Sense ROM, then I'm definitely willing to give that a go!

Not like I use Sense when I have a Sense ROM anyway, LauncherPro all the way in my case. Though it would be nice to have a fantastic camera.

I'll trawl through XDA and Modaco to see the best kernel and ROM combination to max the battery life on Sense... Never thought I'd go back, but it seems like the only way :(!

Dan
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
Do it bro :)

I can recommend LeeDrOiD v2.4 or CoolFroyo v2 ;)

Both use the same Kernel (snq-'s latest - it's a beast!)
[Desire Themes and Apps] bigdan35:
Gonna give LeeDrOiD a go. I was tempted to go for CoolFroyo, but I'm not wanting to try to S-OFF the Desire just yet!

Anyway - I'm going to stop before this becomes off topic!

Thanks a lot, mate :)

Dan
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
LeeDrOiD is really not a bad choice ;)

Just make sure you have a 512 MB ext3 partition for a2sd!

No problem mate, keep it up ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] maverick1970_2000:
Cyanogen is far superior. Would be willing to pay a gracious donation for a working HTC camera apk.
[Desire Themes and Apps] yogstr1:
still waitin on if this would ever be...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lordzebdeh:
I experienced a pretty nasty issue today with my galaxy s. As you know it's getting pretty hot these days, and prague is by NO means an exception.

Anyway my wifi stopped working on JM2, I've had JM2 for a few days and never previously experienced wifi issues.

So I basically tried everything, deleting apps, restoring settings, flashing firmware, the list goes on and on. Until I thought, perhaps it overheated?

Opened it up removed the battery and shoved it the fridge. 10 minutes later it was working perfect.

Perhaps JM2 has a problem with heat?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Robin.B:
Or maybe simply taking out the battery did the trick?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Slacke:
Your device should also give you a warning message if the battery gets too hot.

Mine did the other day while i was playing some robo defense while charing, two things that both seem to get me a bit hot...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
This. Happened to me a few weeks ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lordzebdeh:
Sure I did that before, left it for 2 minutes with the batery out,

while I made myself some coffee. That didn't do the trick.

I don't know what caused it to work again but it was consistently not working til I put it in t

he frige
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] youngdhillon:
Im noticing that theres alot of launchers like ADW, LaunchPro, Open Home, etc...I would like to get some input of people who has some experience with each one. Which one has the most options? im looking for more transparent kinda stuff...so maybe which one has the ability to make specific windows transparent. Also ease of use, which one has more themes/icons avialable?

Thanks:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] omegasun18:
I think you will find most people use either launcher pro or adw launcher.

From my experience i had MAJOR force crash issues with OpenHome. I wasnt a fan of pandaHome it was sluggish for me.

Between ADW and Launcher Pro, I think they have very similar features if you arent paying for launcher pro plus for the sense like widgets.

ADW has more themes on the market however you can download any icon you find on the web (usually .png files) i believe for both so you can customize your "theme" and layout very easily to what ever you want.

I personally have the paid version of launcher pro (only available ont he website) because it gives you a sense like people and book mark widget and i wanted to support the developer.

I dont think you can go wrong with either one.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nuformzdesign:
personally, I'm a big fan of adw launcher. I like that I can modify how many rows and columns the home screens have, and also I can set the size of widgets on the screen. I don't know if launcherpro will do that as well, but even besides that, ADW is hugely customizeable, and I swear by it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] [ L ]:
I tried Launcher Pro, but it wasn't (imo) a very good Launcher replacement. ADW.Launcher is much better, and with the Paper theme it is my favorite out of all. PHome was very slow, and I didnt really like it in general.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jasecloud4:
I use ADW because of how its integrated into Cyanogen.

However Launcher Pro seems to move quite a bit faster in terms of scrolling and app drawer opening/scrolling.

Just my $.02

~Jasecloud4
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jykinturah:
I think the two top ones are ADW Launcher and LauncherPro.

I find myself switching between the two.

Personally find myself favoring ADW Launcher recently because it is open-source, and you know how Android fanboys loooove open source. ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] youngdhillon:
Thanks for all the great replies guys, im currently using the built in adw that comes with CM6 it is highly customizable...but i did find launcher pro to have a lot more options tho...anyways im going to stick with adw for now its working out pretty good so far.:p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rldev:
How do I get the bookmark widget? I only see "people" in my launcher pro plus.

I had to update and they changed the process. Bookmark widget seems a little flakey with images.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] halorin:
If I could have the dockbar from adw put onto LauncherPro I'd have my dream launcher.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] omegasun18:
Yea seems most (like with roms) will swear by one launcher or another. IE the person saying launcher pro wasnt a good launcher replacement. I have use both and cant see how someone using ADW could say launcher pro wasnt a good launcher replacement since they are so similar in features and performance over all (in there current state, it is possible the person tested it a while back and maybe it had issues or something then).

I get slightly faster speeds on launcher pro as well. You can set the number of vertical icons on launcher pro same as you can on ADW for horizontal icons you can get more icons app to let you have 8 on any.

As for making the dock bar the same on ADW and launcher pro i may play with my launcher pro and see how similar i can get it. sice you can set each action and create different dock images/icons and can clear icons i can probably get it to be very similar at least in look i will let you know and if i can i will place a tut.

I use both since I play around with CM6 as my experimental rom. I just never worry about customizing deeply my non daily drivers.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
LauncherPro Plus, for the win!

-------------
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] takmsdsm:
Maybe I am the minority here, but i think Sense blows Launcher pro and ADW out of the water, both in smoothness and just plain usefulness. I have used both LP and ADW for extended amounts of time and have always returned to sense and was glad I did.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] howdyace:
Launcher pro for its sheer beauty and fluidity. ADW just seems to stutter around like the waterboy.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] felacio:
I gotta say Launcher Pro. especially now that it is coming out with some very nice looking widgets for people who liked the Sense UI stuff.

I do really like the customizations of ADW though. I wish Launcher Pro would incorporate the widget size customizations you can do. That would rock.

if ADW had the 3D drawer and was as smooth and pretty as LauncherPro I may switch.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
And what makes Rosie so superior? Its complete lack of customization and features?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] takmsdsm:
I wouldnt say that it cant be customized? There are a ton of themes out there for Rosie. What features are you exactly looking for?

Sorry, but a herky jerky "3D" app launcher isnt exactly mind blowing. Its a waste of screen real estate on the top and bottom. Launcher Pro STILL (as of last week I believe when i tried it again) will not allow you to change the message button to handcent instead of the default messaging app.

Its little things like that that are more annoyances. Sense, no matter what rom, or kernel, I am using, has always been smoother and done everything I asked. Plus some of the HTC widgets are downright useful and better looking then their vanilla counterparts.

This is all my experiences of course, and YMMV, but so far I just havent been impressed by other launchers.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mwbarb:
I'm using LauncherPro Plus v0.7.1.0 and it does allow you to change the message button to handcent. It also allows me to change it on the people widget.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JLine05:
Am I the only one that just likes plain old Launcher 2? I mean Android is so customizable already, I don't see why you would want so many different options.

I tried Launcher Pro and ADW and of the two I liked Launcher Pro better but the plain Google-made Launcher 2 is still the smoothest in my opinion.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
The "message button?" Do you mean the dock icon? If so, mine has been set as Handcent for quite some time.

-------------
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] imageher:
Total agree, Sense is just so much smoother and doesn't crashes/freezes like adw and launcher pro. Plus I've use both for a while and got really frustrated with the constant freezing and force close and alway end up switching back to sense. Until stock froyo comes out on my phone I'm sticking with sense.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kong97:
The thing that keeps me going back to launcher pro is the scrolling dock. Just being able to have 15 programs on the dock keeps the main screen less cluttered.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Also, some pretty big customizations LauncherPro offers over Rosie:

1) Customize bottom dock (both appearance and functionality)

2) Modify number of icons to fit on the home screen

3) Landscape rotation

4) Modify number of home screens and which screen is default

5) Modify the app drawer's appearance and which app icons appear in it

Those are just some of the features of LauncherPro. I'm not even going to go into all of the little detailed configurations and settings you can tweak (like memory management and specific animation speeds). Oh, and not to mention that all of these things can be done without root. I'd like to see anyone modify Rosie without root.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Daft Punk:
LauncherPro PLUS ftw!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lath19:
I really like LP but I also really like the Sense home and contacts widgets. I have Fancy Widget but keep getting a force close on it. Beautiful widgets are pretty good but not quite as nice. I haven't found a contacts widget as nice as the Sense widget, any suggestions?

I'll probably stay with LP for the functionality but I'd like some sense replacements.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mwbarb:
The people widget in LauncherPro Plus works pretty well for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
LauncherPro Plus has clones of the People and Bookmarks widget from Sense. More widgets are being added as the dev completes them.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
+1 For LauncherPro. I love it!

And you can definitely change the messaging to handcent....or any shortcut for that matter and it's been that way for way longer than a week. Not to mention all of this is customizable without root like it was mentioned above. Launcher Pro NEVER freezes or force closes on me...it's definitely the closest thing to Sense in terms of smoothness.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:
easy easy boyz n gurlz this is a very subjective question so lets try to not get our panties in a twist.

that being said, adw.launcher is of course the best launcher without question and beyond doubt. all other launchers are just dreaming of being half the launcher adw is. j/k

in seriousness, i do strongly prefer adw over launcherpro, helix or sense. its stable. it's highly customizable. it's smooth. i like it. i was happy to see it incorporated into CM6...even though the default settings were kinda crappy.
