HTC Hub / HTC Locations revival project

---

Is there a way we can start to work on a way to get back HTC Hub and HTC Locations for the ThunderBolt?

I successfully installed Locations but i just get a server error when it tries to load


I would help any of the developers on here to get these apps put back on the Tbolt by providing the necessary files I currently have.

I have a rooted Incredible as well as ThunderBolt (non-rooted)

I will help in any way i can to get these apps returned to there rightful home on Sense 2.0

Update: Can anyone confirm if the first RUU that was leaked not long after CES if apps are on this RUU vs the current version of the software found on the Tbolt.

There is the footprints app pre-loaded. Is this what you are looking for?

Haha he means the htcsense.com integration and HTC hub which is htcs app store

Footprints is not the same

Locations is the premium navigation found on Desire HD/Z/Incredible S

Its much better than Google Nav, it has integrated maps for offline use so its instant load navigation, better voices, has traffic support, traffic/red light cameras and other features.

The maps navigation is provided by TomTom, and was originally going to be on the ThunderBolt as it was shown at CES.

The other app, is HTC Hub, this lets you connect to HTCsense.com for more features and free downloads.

the app is replaced on the ThunderBolt with the identical name by "HTC Widget downloader", but it has some HTC Hub support since it can download more widgets available on the Hub.

this is what im talking about and i am praying will be cooked up by some ppl here at xda..only thing im missing is the hub and i was hoping to have locations..this would be great

I'm sure we'll get it at some point even if it has to be a custom ROM

Incredible S has both Locations and HTC Hub, HTC Likes and the new Car panel

HTC Hub - HTCsense.com
HTC Likes - HTC reviews android apps and only recommends the ones it likes in this app, this can also be attributed to how many "likes" the app has received from other HTCsense.com users, so you can see what the popular apps are
HTC Locations - Search for POI's based on your current location without loading another app, look for food, gas, atm, shopping and more, then narrow down your results by distance and even see phone numbers and auto call to get hours of business. Navigation includes Walking or by Car, many voice choices with languages, download more maps, see traffic info, download red light cameras for map, download speed trap info and more voices. Instant on navigation maps that never have to load grey boxes one at a time, 3d and 2d modes, built in call support that never makes you leave the navigation screen even when in a call.

This WAS supposed to be on the ThunderBolt, however it still may get put on in a future update, maybe the Gingerbread update ?

Verizon denied it that's why they aren't included

htcsense.com will return in a future update, Netflix and Google Music will also be in an update in the near future as well. Gingerbread update should bring these features to the Tbolt.

HTC finally has fixed most of the problems on the htcsense.com website, its faster than it was before and even loads all the content finally.

I guess until Tbolt gets HTC Hub, i'll download the content such as skins and wallpapers via my Droid Incredible and then transfer it to my Tbolt.

I already got over 29 skins counting the ones on HTC Hub and 12 wallpapers.

Now i'm contemplating whether or not want i want to wait until Gingerbread is out to root it or not

I would say root just to get s-off right now. Then u can flash any firmware without worrying about not being able to root it
