Hi all, I just upgraded from an Eris to the T-bolt, rooted and flashed Thundershed. I tried to use CCName to change the carrier name but it doesn't work. I have read of several hit and miss methods that might or might not work so I'm wondering if anyone knows a proven way to change the carrier name on the T-bolt.
Thanks
I've been out of the loop with Sense ROMs since I don't run them but AOSP ROMs like CM7 allow that option built in.
This is a CM7 based ROM. Where is the setting hidden, maybe I'm just missing it.

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.
Im using CM7, when I long press on the homescreen or any screen for that matter to add widgets (perferably one's that I have downloaded from the market) I cant seem to find what I had just downloaded, the only widgets that show are the one's that came with the ROM. What could possibly be the problem as to why Im not seeing the widgets Ive downloaded from the market ?
Ive enclosed screenshots of the problem
Hey i see you used ginger break. man i have the app on my home screen but when ever i atemo to press the root nbtton i become hesitant because i hink my phone is gonna get bricked
Of you can't see the widgets that's strange I use mik cm7 and have all my widgets try re flashing the rom and make sure you wipe all your data first
As far as rooting I use z4root and it works fine you won't brick it just from rooting it its installing custom recoverys and rom that could brick it but really if you fallow the instructions its not that hard our a big deal you get get bricked if you fallow all the instructions and you will see a huge performance boost

Are they on phone memory? Widgets that are moved to sd card give problems.

You know I had set that all new applications be moved to external source, now that you've said something about it, I reflashed CM7 when I didnt need to, Im thinking about switching to OpenOptimus though, I like the scripts that he has running
I used Gingerbreak, my phone isnt bricked, Id recommend using Gingerbreak though, but Ive read a few posts that has specifically said not to use GBreak if you were running 2.2, but I had no problems with it. If this helped you at all, give thanks
Would it be possible to use the contact and dialer from an AOSP rom on a sense rom. I tried using the ones from CM7 and am having some issues.
Edit: I figured it out and have AOSP contacts and dialer now working on a Sense 3.0 Rom incase anyone wants it!
Not saying I particularly want it but why offer it but share no information on how to do it?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I did it that way because I didn't make the mod. The thread started out because I was having issues getting the AOSP contacts and dialer to work on my phone, so I was looking for help. After I figured it out I thought I would see if anyone was intreasted in this mod and I can send them the file or explain how they can get them. I used the contacts from CM7 which includes the dialer. If you use the dialer.apk from CM7 it will break your phone, Kills signal / service. I have the contacts pulled from that Rom if anyone wants it. I take no credit for it in any way.
im Interested!!! Hate the Rosie Dialer!!
I have a Rogers GSm version, dont know if that would affect anything
Here is the contacts apk. It is NOT flashable through recovery. Install using a file manager (like Astro) I did not create this so I take no credit for this. This came from CM7.

This is interesting. Many people including myself have wanted to have the option to integrate the aosp dialer/ contacts into a sense based rom since the good old Hero days but based on the way the two are integrated into Sense roms as a whole, this has never been possible.
I can't remember the technical reasons why, only that many concluded it wasn't much of a possibilty.
Anyway, if anyone else can confirm that we can now have these features integrated into Sense as the op states, that would be awedome.

There are a few issues with using the ASOP contacts with a sense rom. For instance joining contacts will cause a FC. I run a customized rom with as much sense removed as possible. To achieve this I have modified the ASOP contacts to work better on sense. I've never released the modified contacts because I don't have time to support it. The features I use work fine now (for instance the join fc is fixed) ; however, I'm sure there are other issues and at the moment I have no time to resolve anything found.
If people are willing to live with what you get is what you get I can post my modified contacts tonight after work.
HtcDialer still needs to be installed. I can also post a version of this modded to hide the icon from the app drawer and to stop it from being used for certain functions (a convenience feature so I don't have to select the ASOP contacts as the default)

I just flashed the Charmeleon rom but refuse to have Pokemon on my startup screen, especially the audio. I heard you could change it but I didn't see anything in the settings other than to disable the sound (which didn't work.)
I used TWRP and this is the first time I've ever done this... stupidly I didn't create a backup of my stock rom. How do I get back to the exact stock rom my phone came with (not sure of the name & version but it is the current rom, I have the EVO LTE and got it just a week ago.
Thanks for the help.
Anything?
Post in your phones sub category, you'll get a much better response there.

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.
