Hiya, I was using vanilla 2.2 for a very long time however I started to miss the great phone application in Sense so I have switched over to a 2.1 sense rom (Chocolate Eclair). I would however love to be running vanilla 2.2, so is there any way of getting the sense phone application in vanilla android or perhaps just an equally good phone application?

The HTC Phone application will only work on Sense ROMs.
Try Dialer One on the market.
Thanks
Ah, I remember someone mentioned that app to me before, was trying to remember it's name, testing it out now, looks pretty nice. Thanks a lot

As soon as i got this phone I rooted it and flashed xtr rom because it looked reliable and stable. Which it was the rom was beautiful but i got the froyo bug and decided to move on to 2.2. I installed kaos froyo and love it but there are a certain things i miss specifically the htc contact app which allowed me to merge contacts from all my different sources and really minimize doubled up contacts. Is there anyway to get the htc contact app on a 2.2 rom without sense that doesn't involve flashing? Is there an apk or an apk for a similar contact app?
TLDR: Can i install HTC contact app on Kaos Froyo rom?

Unfortunately, there isn't any way of getting the HTC Dialer (which is what you're looking for) on a non-Sense based ROM. It would have to be ported, and noone has been able to do so. It may be hard or impossible without the original source code.
I have used Dialer One in the past, which is a lot more like the Sense Dialer. I don't know for sure if it has the feature you're looking for, but there's a free version on the Market. Check it out.
Edit: FYI in case you're curious enough to try putting the HTC Dialer on other ROMs anyway, forget it, I've already tried it. It's just not that easy.

What about xtr rom? It's a vanilla rom with the htc dialer. It might be sort of hybrid but it uses launcher pro (not sense) and the same dialer. I was kind of upset the htc dialer has so many little features that you take for granted until they are gone.

It is still based on the HTC framework, which is why so much of the HTC stuff is still present and works.
I really miss the HTC Alarm/Timer/etc app, too. Sigh...
Just flash xtrSense and switch to Launcher Pro or something.

I'm using Red Glass, Workshed's themed version of his FroShedYo v8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824160
I may switch to his Vanilla, just because it's based off a newer CM build.

I think he's hoping to get it or an equivalent on a 2.2-based ROM. As much as I like xtrSENSE and xtrROM, I like CM6.x-based ROMs because of the ease of access to toggle widgets in the notification menu, Froyo-native Apps2SD, and the Froyo-native USB tethering, which has been working much better for me than any other kind or method of tethering recently, and tethering is my only internet ATM.
I don't know if the OP likes the same things out of Froyo ROMs or not, but I would assume he doesn't want to go back to more stock for anything more than the HTC alarm clock and/or contacts.

Thank you for the help. Xtr sense with launcher pro is almost equivalently the xtr rom. You hit the nail on the head perfectly as well. I love the stability smoothness and just all around solidness of the xtrroms sense and not. I just feel like i'm missing out when i roll 2.1 there is not much but just a lot of little things above ones mentioned are big. I'm going to rock xtr again for a little then switch to a 2.2 maybe kaos again or possibly what you use and weigh out what i like about both. I would drop both options if we can get a daily use gingerbread though.
Is there a simple way of disabling sense completely for the Flyer?
I've changed to ADW EX but I know the processes are still running and taking up resources in the background.
I'd love to be able to disable sense and reinstall the stock contacts, calendar, etc.
From what I gather, even HC has it baked in :'(
From what I've read elsewhere for other devices this is a near-impossible task, however given that this is the first tablet I've known about I figured it may be worth asking.
Alternatively, is there a ROM without Sense available? The few I've checked out have included it for some bizarre ( ) reason.
Thanks!
Lol I have one out that I'm working on that doesn't have sense. If you didn't want to flash a ROM you could probably freeze all the sense apps using titanium backup (i think)

I checked out the ROM, looks good and I like what you're trying to accomplish but is there nothing at the moment that's completely Sense free at all?
No, unless a Asop rom comes about
Is this something that is likely to appear? CM or similar?

I installed the latest RUU_Vigor_3.14.605.10_PH98IMG.zip successfully but I just realize it didn't update any of the sense apps. Like the camera is the same as GB and the gallery and the calendar and etc. Any idea what happened? What should I do?
Thanks,
Eric
sounds like whatever you flashed wasn't the ics software. perhaps just a radio,hboot,kernel or splash
Well, I have new menus and software page shows 4.03 and 3.6 and everything new there. Settings looks different and new. Launcher is new. Maps actually is new, the voice is different. Search is new as well, it's like certain things got updated, but not everything.

What are you looking at to check if they've been updated? For instance the icons for apps like mms and camera stayed the same. Also it is quite possible that since its still a sense 3.6 rom, the integrated sense apps are still sense 3.X versions. In other words it just sounds like all the external apps that can be updated through the market got updated through the leak but any stock system app stayed at the 3.X level with the exception of the launcher

Yeah they all probably just look the same. I remember it was one of HTC's goals not to be able to tell which version of android is running beneath Sense.
Also, did you make sure to flash the RUU twice?
I dont have a problem with sense or anything, I just like to have options and I really like the look of stock Android.
I havent found a solution as to why I cant flash Cyanogenmod 9/10 betas yet (keeps aborting installation), so I need to do this without flashing a new ROM.
Im currently running viperROM IC3D Beta 3. Im not sure if its promoted to be stable, but so far it is for me. And its also using Sense 3.6 so it should be the same if I was running the stock ICS OTA update, I assume.
So is there a way to disable/remove sense without installing a new ROM?
A launcher wont do it for me. All that does is change the home screen, not the actual shell of the OS.
Thanks is advance!
Get a new phone, or change your rom.
Since sense is integrated, you need a whole new rom if you dont want it.
The only thing you can disable with sense is the sense launcher.

I figured that was the case. I just wasnt sure because I know that it was possible on the EVO 4G. But thanks anyway.

There are some desensitizing scripts out there that you can find and tailor to your needs, but I would just find a ROM that is already desensitized. Some people swear by the scripts; others have issues getting them to work right.
I am running an AOKP rom, Sense XP and I thinks that rom is the tits right now for my usage. However, I can't get gifs in tumblr to work. I cleared app data and such, but that wasn't the answer as it's still not working. I was a few Sense roms before that(Newt 4.0 and business sense 4.0) and they worked correctly. I am wondering is this an AOKP on Rezound issue, or just isolated between a few users?

It's not a true Sense rom. The sense part of it is just a theme. Not sure how to fix your problem though.
I kno that, my previous rom was sense, i didnt have issues with gif on that rom, but this sense xp rom I have gif issues in tumblr. so yeah.
