cyanogen's donut toggle settings widget

Im actually not sure if its from donut, anyone know?
Im talking about the 4x1 widget included in cyanogen's builds with all of the settings to toggle, can it be taken from his builds and installed with an app installer onto an unrooted mytouch?
i like the look of it and from what i understand it includes a one-click gps toggle...thanks

the widget is called
'power control'
As to the question, i'm not sure about if it can be taken

fair enough, thanks for the response. At least maybe my xda/google search attempts will be more effective using the actual name of it...

It might be from donuts.
If youy DL SDk 1.6 you will find this widget in the emulator.

The Widget is in the Settings.apk.

thanks maxisma. sorry i have to ask this because im sure the answer is obvious to most, but it said 'settings app cannot be installed on this phone..." Is there anything else i need to install to get it to work? As when I installed pdf onto my g1 there were 2 other files i had to install through the emulator, which, since my mytouch is not rooted I dont think would be possible.
Any suggestions would be great, thanks
by the way i used settings.apk from cyanogen 4.0.2, its the last one i downloaded...

I think I remember reading that it was from/for Donut. I never found it in the market though.
1-click GPS toggle, its only just occured to me that someone solved it. Awesome.

Interface like the Nexus One

Is there any way to easily lose the Sense interface, and get my interface looking like the nexus one?
I found several apps to free your home and stuff but i'm looking for something easy like the HTC Hero (i was able to just disable sense here).

yes

yep, that's the right thing that you have to do

I've read that you can't do that on the later releases...but I'm not 100% on this.
There's always Helix Launcher in the market.

1. Goto menu - settings - applications - manage applications
2. Find HTC Sense
3. Force close it, and Clear defaults.
4. Now press home, and select stock home application.
Hope this sorts everyone's problems
P.S.
Could we please search the forums first and try and post in the correct section. This saves duplicate posts and the spreading of misinformation

can i please clean this up THIS DOES NOT WORK, htc removed laucher 2 so you can't choose the normal home, sense just loads it back up again.

you have to download launcher2.apk ! read details

Why would you want to? Sense is one of the factors that makes the Desire better than the Nexus.

try HelixLauncher2 ! it is cool ! http ://www .youtube .com/watch?v=M7Z6D2yaCRs

anybody Babe Trier and Can Tell how it works?

Yep indeed amazing isn't it

I've installed Launcher2.apk and despite all the posts to the contrary it works fine on my HTC Desire with the latest firmware.
I must say the app menu is a bit slower (certainly not linear) on Launcher2 compared to Sense UI or Rosie or whatever. But I prefer it to Helix as it's slightly more polished. Things just look a bit off when using Helix.
Used it for a day then went back to Sense. Simple operation using the Application Manager and clearing the defaults but Home Launcher works just as well for this if you're particularly fickle.

Adding pages on MyTouch 3G? Without Rooting...

So, I have a MyTouch 3G, and I have been unable to root it. It has the perfect SPL, and the gold card method isn't working. I really need 5 screens (3 for apps and 2 for Widgets). Yesterday I bought OpenHome, but it seems to really slow down my phone and cause lags. Is there a way to add this without being able to root, and also without OpenHome? Is there a better skinner, or preferably, an app that simply adds them?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try Home++ or pandahome

Have you used either? Like em?
Really, I just want something that will not use a lot of resources/memory, but add 2 pages. Maybe an option to not skin at all and use my existing layout/icons, but add 2 pages and set the center page (then page 3) to home...

Used both, but.
Home++ is a little laggy/buggy if you leave Landscape mode enabled. have up to 9 pages i think.
it is a single theme, home replacement.
And Panda home uses third party themes.
(Ahome, Better Android, etc)

HTC Apps on CM6

I've had some problems getting HTC apps working in cm6 latest nightly.
I get my apks from DC froyo.
First I tried an easy install which failed.
Then I moved it to the system/app folder and chmod and chowned to make sure the permissions and owners were the same as stock.
Right now the HTC internet browser opens but force closes.
How can I get it working?

Aren't the HTC apps tied to the Sense framework? If so, I don't think it'll be possible to get them working on a non-sense ROM.
I could be completely wrong.

No you are not completely wrong. You are completely correct. Sense is deeply integrated into Android. It's not like there are just some added libraries. The source code that compiles into the framework.jar and framework-res.apk, etc are directly modified by HTC. This means Sense is no mere skin. It is a complete integration into Android. Regardless, without this framework HTC apps will only run on Sense phones. Some can be ported over but it's a difficult process so most likely the apps you want will not be ported over. Out of curiosity though, which apps are you trying to use on CM6?

If you want Sense, go back to Sense.

Use DC.
Can't use HTC apps without Sense. Please check the FAQ in the future.

if you provide the applications you're trying to run, perhaps alternatives can be suggested for you.

I personally like the HTC Tip Calulator widget....
and the HTC Notes....
But you can't use them on adw.
I don't want an app shortcut, I want a widget.

I prefer AOSP thankyou very much.
I just like the option of having some apps that I got used to.
HTC_ime for example. The keyboard.
Even though I use swype.
The camera app which pwns the stock.
Got flashlight and car panel working.
FM radio and weather would be nice too.
There were some nice Widgets but the only one I miss is the clock.
Any porting tips?

i liked the HTC keyboard as well. I'm assuming that you did your due diligence and found this did not work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7429254#post7429254
4G and FM Radio is not working in CM6 yet.
this is listed in the CM6 OP.
i'm not sure what HTC browser your talking about. perhaps try installing Dolphin HD browser.
last nights CM6 build incorporated a new camera app and deathray (er...Flashlight app w/ widget). just get the nightly build and flash over what you have...i wipe 'cache' and 'dalvik cache' ...you loose no settings.
i use 'MyWeather' but then, i don't care for weather widgets. have you even looked on the android market for this? maybe try browsing from a computer on a site like www.appbrain.com
i use digital clock widget to provide my time date...many folks praise Beautiful Widgets.
here is a post that may be of use..

- everyone once in a while...copy a nand backup onto your pc (ie: what if you SD card gets lost or borked?)
- read the entire forum for the ROM you're playing with

Thanks for your post, but.
This isn't about anything specific, i simply want to know how to get apps ported, without the java source.
That said, I AM using dolphin, but I prefer the copy-paste that I can only find with HTC sense, I was hoping the browser on stock sense would help.
I've come across that thread, and use Swype without much issue, but having no trackball () makes me wish I had some arrow keys.. Not available in that thread.
Since my OP I have customized ADW and i'm quite pleased with it overall.
Now I just want to be able to use any app I wish. Regardless of alternatives!
Beautiful widgets is good, but has no analog clocks last I checked.
I do use it either way, but again, this isn't about anything specific.
I want to unlock apk's so they work anywhere. Any rom. Not just with HTC apps, but even the touchwiz apps!
Don't care about 4G, and i know that there are bugs being worked out with CM6 but i'm following it closely. On the 8/11 nightly build right now.
Finally, I read too much. I know a lot more than I put on..
Been "playing" with android roms since Dream (especially CM).
The problem which I have won't be solved by simply looking around for a version of the APK that works.
I want to know how they are being ported/unlocked .
If you can help, then thankyou very much!
Otherwise, I don't need your irrelevant tips. (No offense intended)

Swype from the Swype key to the SYM key. Voila.

Same. Trying to add Facebook for HTC Sense fails too. "The service is currently unavailable."

Anyone figure out how to fix this?
Sent from my EVO Shift using XDA App

They are no longer showing in the market so I'm guessing it has something to do with that.

Just a thought, but I''m thinking that HTC pulled all of their widgets from the Android Market and is moving them to the HTC hub.
It will be interesting to see once we can get some ported ROM's from the Desire Z if that is the case.

It's working on my wife's EVO not sure why it wouldn't work just on the EVO shift.

I don't think HTC ever had their widgets in the Android Market. I have the original Evo also and I remember a while back some of the Evo users ran into the same issue and it was a problem on htc end in which they had to send out a update that fixed the issue.
I assume everyone is unable to download widgets under the "get more widgets" area of the phone. If so, I'm 100% positive that this has noting to do with the market whatsoever. Me personally, I'm not having any problems with facebook sync or whatever. Although, just like other evo shift owners, I'm unable to download the other htc widgets such as profiles, tip calculator etc.
I'm just gonna sit back and grab some 3rd party apps from the market that does the same thing.

I know on my Hero I downloaded the battery widget and Today in History directly from the market.
HTC had several widgets for download via the market.

Actually, I remember the Hero having this issue as well. It was eventually fixed, but by then I was on custom ROMs.

Yup, couldn't access it last night.

Just got my shift today and I also have no access to "more widgets"

Just got mine as well. I really wanted the battery widget... and tasks

My evo is charging now so I can't do it. Maybe someone with an evo can download all of them, find their apk's and upload them somewhere. Of course try to install a few on the shift and see if they work first.

Everything except audio recorder.

Battery was tested and appears to work. Mirror if you want to keep sharing. From an Evo.

The last two have odex so I don't know how to deal with that so I included them anyway.

AWESOME! Battery and Tasks worked for me. I will let other people test the others

Widgets now available from HTC
Just an FYI, I just downloaded a few from HTC through the phone. Widgets listed are:
Battery
Daily Challenge
Fortune Cookie
Notes
Quick Record
Sand Timer
Tasks
Tip Calculator
Today in History
Translator
Word of the Day

I was able to download the HTC widgets directly from my shift. Maybe it was just a temporary issue.
