Root HTC Hub ???'s

Does anyone know if there is any type of fix to get HTC Hub to load up on a Sense ROM? I know I've seen it somewhere, but can't seem to find it anywhere..I had it working on a ROM before, but can't remember how.
 
I think VZW took away the HTCSense.com access for the bolt

To show you how much HTC cares look here

HTC doesn't care, true, but verizon was the one who locked down HTC hub on their phones. they want their customers to use "their" crappy Vcast apps.

(Looks at previous post :D)

Yeah VZW blocked access, HTC doesn't really care because VZW is still selling the phone. I think at one point (close to when the phone was announced) they (HTC) said it would have access then VZW did their "not on my watch" thing and snubbed that right out.

So when i go into Personalize and select skins or wallpapers or whatever, I can never download any of those themes I used to see listed? That feature is just gone?
 
I've never tried to use the software honestly.

You can go to XDA and get skins no problem, the browser can be used to get the wallpapers. VZW decided not to let the bolt use HTCSense.com, if you have a rom that it is supposed to work with then try it out, no harm in trying, I don't know what version of sense you are running currently so I can't link skins but they aren't hard to find with a google search

Im currently on 2.1 according to my About section, but I'm running a Sense 3.0 ROM i'm not sure if that changes anything...anyway...I was on a ROM that had a couple different skins in the actual Skin section and there were all different colors (orange,burgundy,teal,red,etc.) and I really liked being able to have a few different options. If you know of any place where I could find something like that, and you could link me to something, that would be excellent..
 
Try these [SKIN][04.07.2011] Skins for Gingerbread HTC Sense 2.1 roms. - xda-developers

You download the apk, install and then choose as you would any other ones. It sounds like you are on a 2.1 sense based rom with 3.0 sense parts. Don't be scared away from a skin due to the pic looking like it is not in English, it will be in English on your phone.

I can't say for sure these will work with a custom rom but trying never hurts ;) they are just apk files no flash needed.

If you download using the phone browser you may get a .bin file, you should be able to rename the extension to .apk using a file explorer and install like normal.

Thanks a lot! Tons of sweet skins there...just wondering if you happen to know the ones I'm referring too, they come stock with some ROM's...the Rosie looks basically stock except the colors are different (orange,burgundy,light blue, red,etc) I am looking for the .apks to a few of those as well.
 
I am not sure where you can get those specific ones, you can try to extract the .apk from the zipped roms and see if they will install via sideloading. I have no idea if they are signed to be sideloaded if they are not you will get an application not installed error. If you need instructions I will see what I can provide but it may be a little while before I can search thru a sense rom zip.
 
You can try these HTC Hub/HTCsense.com Skins (Thread updated as new ones are released) - xda-developers

I don't know if they are what you are looking for, can't see the screen shots because I am at work.

Edit: I don't think these will work for you look like they are for sense 2.0

Thanks man, I just don't know what ROM I was using that had a bunch of Skins included bc I was pretty sure everything I have used was a GB Sense 3.0 ROM..Ive been on Das Bamf 4.9 Gingeritis, LGS, and now the UBER Bamf...perhaps It was the OTA Stock rooted that I had flashed for a few hours...I am half tempted to start flashing Nandroids..
 
The apk files should be in the rom zip under system/app/
You will need to know the name of the skins you are looking for you should be able to extract them via a file explorer. If they do not install via sideloading you can try to use root explorer to paste them into your phone's system/app/ folder then reboot to see if that installs them.

I was trying to get ahold of the wood, metal,slate, and blackboard .apks, but I tried installing them, and I am unable ...also still going to be looking for a new job
 
I really can't help with the job thing...


Did you try the root explorer install?

Omg I have NO idea where that job line came from! I have NO idea how that got there. I have two jobs I'll be okay :)....I don't have root explorer I'll be purchasing that

I did try installing the .apk with Total Commander, but no luck
 
Still not working?

Auto correct fails happen by the way I had swype correct herbs with herpes while trying to say "I'm buying herbs to make dinner with"
 
BUMP...

So I was wondering if there is any place I can download the 5 skins available from HTC Hub, aside from downloading via the phone..HTC Hub doesn't load on DAS BAMF, but it works fine on Synergy, and I was wondering how I could get those 5 skins and then install them somehow to be used with UberBAMF...any ideas?
 
You could try to restore the backup you have of the rom it loads on and use titanium to backup the apk files for the skins, they will likely look like system apk, then use titanium to restore them once you restore the nandroid for your current rom. Not sure if that would work, skins are just apk files so you would need to find a way to xfer them from one rom to the next.
