HTC Sense People Widget (Separate APK)

[TRLOS]

Hey all
I know quite a few people are unhappy about not seeing the People Widget on the new HTC 10, so I decided to extract the APK from my old M8 and installed it on the HTC 10.
For anyone else who is interested it getting the People Widget back, here is it.
It's been uploaded to my Google Drive, but if anyone can recommend a better place to upload it, I'll happily make it available for everyone.

Hi, great! Thanks.

I would like to extract some more widgets from my own old M8. Can you point me to the way of doing that? Highly appreciated!

I've just installed HTC gallery ap from M8 and it works fine.
Just backup'ed apk with ES file explorer, transferred with Bluetooth and installed.

I suppose not every widget is in its own apk?

No, not all of them.

I actually found many of them. So I've now ported over Wi-Fi widget, BT widget, Sync All widget, contacts widget, HTC Internet Browser and HTC Sense Input keyboard. Thanks!

 

[hija31]

Yes, those are in system apps.

Really? The HTC gallery app only provides viewing photos but does not save after editing... Very sad! I had to give up your favorite applications

It does save them, but they have to be on internal storage.

I know, but all pictures on external memory

Is your M8 rooted ?
Forgive me if I am wrong, but I believe only rooted phones can get to the location of the APK files.

Can you upload that apk somewhere for others to use as well. Or send it to me and I will upload it for you.

P.S.
As I said in that thread, you can't edit photos on SD card.

I had to create a new account just to say thank you so much for this! I have been looking for this for a while. Really gutted/angry HTC got rid of alot of useful and helpful widgets. Has anyone got the HTC music player to work? The the mobile data widget?

I have the HTC Music widget installed and working - don't remember where I got it(!), but this site might have it: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/.

I tried extracting the HTC Music app and successfully installed it onto the HTC10, but every time I launched it, it would crash.
That is the reason why I didn't upload the file here.

The Google Play app takes a bit of getting use to, and you have to really stay on top of your MP3 ID3 tags, but once you get use to it, it isn't so bad.
Only wish it had the ability to sort by folder, but the HTC Music app didn't have that ability either

This one might be worth try: Fulmics HTC Sense apps.

I don't really use the HTC Music app much; for most music listening I use Neutron. For audio courses and other talk stuff I tend to use MX Player Pro or VLC, depending on suitable features (playlists, resume, etc).
