Home auto-rotate? - Nexus One General

I've rooted my Nexus one, and it's working great!
Grateful applause and heartfelt thanks to Amon_Ra!!!
I'm just wondering if anyone is currently working on any mods for the N-1 which will enable home screen auto-rotation? Or is the current work going on in other areas?
I just want to put a vote in for home screen auto-rotate, as it's the one feature that I'd love to have.
But please don't interpret this as any kind of complaint about the current N-1 root mod. Amon_Ra rules!
.​

HippoMan: N1 source is not out yet, when it's out I'm sure there'll be what you want.

I have an auto-rotate Launcher2 ... but she's buggy ... it's gimmick'd up using xml hacks. So definitely buggy ...
The Launcher2.apk was obviously not built out-of-the-box to handle landscape view.
The app drawer is all messed up and few other screwy things.
If any1 wants me to post it ... I'd be happy too ... but it's really only a "toy" atm.
But I'm having fun with it.
~enom~

all the home launcher add this feature i was missing it too.
openhome
home++
gde
all tested and have feature, I actually like gde

Thanks to all for your responses. I'll be patient about the Home auto-rotate.
As an aside, I didn't realize that the N-1 souce isn't even out yet. All the more reason to heap praise upon Amon_Ra.

Stupid idea that never would've made it =[

Okay so like yeaah. This may sound stupid but here's what I'm thinking. Because there are so many UI's like the Blur from Motorola. Sense from HTC. Blaah blah blah, why not make a custom one. We can make it based off of what the people want. Honestly, I like Blur (Don't laugh at me!) So why not try to get t how we like it. I know everybody's going to want something different, but why not try? We can try to take different parts of different UIs, and put them together and make our own. I know it's lame and all, but think about it. Don't keep reading... pause for 5 seconds. Okay now think about it and stop reading. We can even make this UI use-able for Vanilla Android 2.1 and 1.6 (and even people on 1.5 [hahahaa]). And hey, maybe it'll be so good that the Swagger Jacker Windows Mobile users can Swagger Jack it from us. So what do you say, wanna give it a shot?
where do we start? im interested
Idk. I posted here to see if anyone who knew who to do it was interested and wanted to help. I think we should start Googling.
lol.. trolling is fun
Fosho it is =] I'm trollin on 22's.
But lets be honest, a custom UI like MotoBlur is just like a theme. You just falsh it over something and make it look different and add-on some more widgets and etc... Motoblur is just 1.6 with a custom UI. Not saying that I like it, but it's okay and I mean, what's different from MotoBlur and Android 1.5? Notification Bar, Widgets, More tabs on the bottom, different clock, and more Social Networing connections. How hard would that be to make. We already have our own Widgets. Fasttest I think was the first to make the amazing looking clock that is now used in SuperCSDIv4 Rex3MixCSDI has a Black Notification Bar. We can make some custom Icons. We could Theme ADW_Launcher and give the bottom two buttons some use like how on Sense, you can go to;
All Apps-Phone-Add Widgets
and on MotoBlur, you have;
Phone-All Apps- Contacts
Why not make our own. Give it some customization. Take some random peoples requests. All these UIs and stuff, their all (I think I'm almos 100% correct on this, think about it) Home Replacements. Like BetterCut, DxTop, Home++. They all chang everything and give you more widgets. With MotoBlur and Sense you get new Boot Screens. We can do that. Make everything look cool. We been doing that. Why not make it. Post it on Google.Code. Be everywhere. Everyone will be talking about us and how cool we are. Port it to all the cool devices. Other then a few apps and Modifications, Custom UIs are just Themes. Like Enoch, JesterDroid, etc...
I may not know too much about coding and things like that, but I have more than enough experience with graphics and such. I'm all for this idea so if you need any help designing or just ideas you can pm me or add me on gtalk: [email protected]
Yeaaah, that's what I was waiting for. I thought about the same thing not too long ago. My opinion is, that for maybe the biggest android community it shouldn't be a problem. So good luck
I'm interested in seeing what could be made up. There are a lot of great features from all of the different themes out there, and piecing them together could be awesome if done right. I think a design should be aimed at before you have a million people all willy-nilly trying to make them. We should design, then build, then post a how to, that way the rest of the community can make their own based off of a common idea.
Now can we get anyone up in here who know how to make widgets? WE NEED WIDGETS UP IN HERE!

Maybe you could ask Koxx he creates, very good widgets, with great functionality.
Thanks I'll PM him right away. This is going so well!
So any advancement in this?
I PM'd koxx, but he didn't say anything back yet. I'll wait. Until then, anyone know how to add the little tabs on the bottom, like how MotoBlur has Dialer/All Apps/Contacts, what do you guys think we should make it. Gimmie some opinions.
Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
ok kl. Im not sure on how to add buttons. maybe look at one of the launcher2 modifications where buttons were added.

That's a really good idea, I could ask one of those Devs. Do you know who made it? That's a really good idea I love you guy. As a bro.
Okay. Here are some links to some threads with customized buttons. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683 <-- link to helix launcher and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630659&highlight=doc <-- link to launcher with buttons.
We'll be using the Launcher with Buttons. It's better becuase we can use only two buttons instead of 5. All we need to do is replace the Left and Right tabs, and make the Middle tab a different image so that the Launcher looks better. I think for the All Application Drawer, we could use the 2.1 rectangle. We could make it go like a straight line like the Espresso Launcher, but without the curved corners, ours is going to get all the way to the end of the screen. We could... give me some more ideas on what to put on the left and right tabs, what do you use most. For me it's Messaging and Brower.
Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
i think the left tab should be contacts, middle all apps, and right should be direct message. just like on GDE.

Taken into consideration, post will be saved for future refrence. Here's the thing, this is a CUSTOM UI. We are not trying to copy any ideas. But yeah I do text a lot so that'll probably be one of them. In fact, I contacted one of the people who makes Custom Launchers and asked him if he could make his a little different then it already s, so that people could choose what they want where. This is a Custom UI by the people, for the people.
Re: [THINK TANK] Custom UI *BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE*
okay good. now we need to come up with a theme and a list of neccessary widgets needed.

Thanks for the hard work, best thing to come to Droid Eris since rooting!
Very cool.
I didn't see it mentioned, does this work on both 1.5 and 2.1 rooted roms?
2.1 root is required for this patch.
If you had previous live wallpapers installed, does installing this on top still work OK? I just did this exact scenario and I can't get the new LW patch you guys just made to run smoothly at all.
I'm thinking a fresh ROM, sense remover, then use this patch for best results?
It should work on any rom. It removes old versions, if active. Are you using sense or Nexus Home?
Nexus home. I dunno, none of the wallpapers are running well for me. I'll have to mess with it more later I guess.
This patch with jamezelle sprint rom makes LWP's work good in sense! The sprint rom already had all of these features (openGL wallpapers ran faster though) but when returning from sleep they would disappear. This patch has seemed to fix that issue in sence, but did slow them down, choppyness.

Is this sipposed to fix the 3d gallery? I loaded the zip and noticed first off the it removes the htc lockscreen, might be worth mentioning... I have tried the 3d gallery on both sense and the nexus launcher. It DOES rotate without problem and it does work sort of. when it displays my list of pictures I only see them briefly and then they get transparent and blend in to the background until nothing is visable. If I click on a spot it will load a picture or an album but I can't see what I'm clicking on. Im using Ivans latest rom btw.
Thanks devs for all your hard work!!

It doesn't support Gallery3D fully, and I no longer have a phone to do dev work on. The lockscreen issue is a mistake in my update script, will be fixed shortly.

MIUI for novices

Greetings, I am sure I could discover all about MIUI if I looked hard enough, but I thought it might be useful if we had our own Nexus S place where someone like me who has never used or seen MIUI in action could hear from those with previous experience.
I understand its very different from normal android but in which important ways? Are widgets the same? Is the market the same? Will we still have Voodoo sound and colour? Does the app drawer still apply? You see where I am driving at!
please share knowledge and questions...
I have very limited experience with miui I'll admit but I can answer a few of your questions. Most things are the same however it has its own customer launcher and home replacement for which there is no app drawer. All apps are placed on homescreens for the minuit launcher however you can use adw or lpp and have an app drawer back.

Thanks man, I have heard many good things about MIUI but I would miss something like Voodoo so much! I mean how awesome is Voodoo sound?!
It does seem MIUI would take some getting used to.

Well its just like any other ROM, kernels will have to be customized for it. I'm sure someone will release a voodoo sound/color equipped kernel for it soon.
Its definitely a switch but one worth giving a shot. I tried it on my Evo but couldn't get Swype working and at the time I was more in love with Swype then I was with any ROM so I gave up after only giving it a few hours. I plan to give it a much more fair chance this time but its a little difficult getting things set up when half of everything is in chinese lol

Lol I assume your chinese comment is sarcasm and I can assure you its usable in chinese. I do not know a single chinese character but for the most part you can work your way through everything. The one thing I'm still looking for is Haptic Feedback because I hate it and its on by default <.<
I personally love MIUI. The lockscreen, when they get it, looks fantastic and nice. The menu screen is extremely different. If you look at the pics you'll see what it looks like. That takes some time getting used. All the apps are on the homescreen now, similar to iOS. You can create folders to organize them. You can also add all the widgets you normally get from the market, on there. The messenger has been modified, it a very good way. It looks really good. Everything else is the same.

From what I understand they don't have any intention of bringing the old lockscreen back. I'm not sure if they will be doing a new one but, again this is my understanding, we're stuck with the AOSP lockscreen.

one thing that strikes me regarding the original MIUI ROM being chinese natively... is that AOS is supposed to be roughly international No?
even if it installs as Chinese, you should be able to go into settings and change it to English?
like when i change English to Spanish and Vice versa in the stock ROM or some other Custom ROMs

MIUI is fully customized. And no this isn't the case, its set to English by default and the MIUI ROM is a hybrid of English and Chinese.
The English language pack is now available (~30MB) in the MIUI thread.
Simply, it is an iOSish Android ROM.

it wasn't that bad. the icons in settings were pretty relevant.
its fine now. just the notification power widgets is still in chinese.
only complaint i really at this point is white background with white text.
will probably go back to CM7 when the next nightly comes. i prefer having all black to maximize super amoled screen

Download issue can be solved by switch the download mode to start download under any network.
Open Downloads app -> Press Menu button -> Select the right one to switch to start download under any network
Refer to the MIUI forum, since the new UI is still under development, so the custom lockscreen not integrated yet on the first release
Cant really find the "Downloads app" setting. Have a tip or an image of where u mean?
@ zephiK worked for me with restoring the settings with titanium.

Mod]sense 3.0 lockscreen for aosp[8/14]

This is more a proof of concept i have been working on since yesterday. I love aosp roms but i hate the lockscreens, sense 3.0 is where its at. I stumbled upon a new lockscreen that may be ported into the cm7 roms soon. Its a honeycomb sytle lock. It is available in the OMFGB nightlies only.
I basically modded the framework.res with png's i found from the miui & widgetlocker sense 3.0 lockscreen themes. As you can see from my screenshots this looks very similar to the sense lockscreen. The only thing it will not have is the 4 shortcuts.
Now i need some testers and some modders to help me out in porting this from OMFGB to other aosp roms such as cm7 & liquid. I am a themer, not a coder. As you can see from my screenshots i cannot get the ring to recess at the bottom and when you go to unlock it cuts the top of the ring off. This is where i need help, i believe a resource file or xml in the framework needs to be modded, i cannot do this.
To me this has huge potential, we could possibly even port custom rings over like we have for sense roms.
*Credits go to whoever created this honeycomb lockscreen and to the makers of OMFGB.
Lets see what we can do with this guys. Pm me if you feel you can help finish off this mod.
http://imageshack.us/g/560/snap20110814101033.png/
Edit: I have attached two zips below. The sense_theme can be flashed via clockwork on OMFGB only to show you guys the work i have done. The sense3d zip is all the files i used to do the mod and the framework.res from OMFGB. feel free to use this to help get this lockscreen completed. So you know, i flashed a different style font to get the excact look of my screenshots, yours may look different depending on what fonts you use.
R2doesinc is now onboard to help finish what i started. He said he will include this in a future OMFGB nightly. But as we know alot of projects never get finished so if you feel you can help with this theme or use it in your aosp rom, get in contact with me. I definitely want to see this concept be completed.
reserved for whatever.

i could make a black ring, we just need to find a way to make the ring recessed at the bottom and not cut off when unlocking. i doubt we will be able to make shortcuts as of now. i also love the look, we just need to get this ported to cm7 and or other aosp roms. right now it only works in OMFGB. hopefully the cm team will approve the honey lock into his nightlies, i know it has been submitted already.

lol yeah, i have no idea how to mod xml's or resources. that's what i think need to be done to position the ring properly. best of all this works better than any 3rd party market app out there right now.

this was posted at rootzwiki as well. testers yes, i need them but i also need a devs help to edit the theme so the ring is positioned correctly. i hope we can get this to work on all aosp roms. as i said the potential for this is HUGE. i can see custom rings being ported over as well. it's like having the best of both worlds here while not taking away any elements from aosp.
Amazing. I don't normally run OMFGB so I can't use it on my AOSP rom right now, but I'll flash later in the day just to try it out.

i normally use liquid aosp but im switching to OMFGB for the time being to work on this.
to get this ported to all AOSP's would be awesome... no matter what ROM's im testing or trying, i always seem to come back to CM7.
Im going back to liquid until this can be ported over. i hope the cm team approves the lockscreen so i can theme it. if anybody wants to continue developing this to get the ring sorted out, pm me.

R2doesinc is now onboard. Im mobile right now. Ill update the thread tonight.
ive been talking to R2 and this will be available shortly in their nightly. he is also implementing the 4 shortcuts with a on & off type toggle so everyone can be happy. once this is complete i hope we can get the aosp devs to port it to their roms. the source will be available on the githubs. glad i started this and never thought it would actually take off.

[Video] Overcome v2.1.1 ROM "review" (update, added the recovery too)

Last night I decided it was time to try something different. Task's ROMs are popular, but unfortunately for us... there is not a whole lot that makes one ROM really different from another.
I wish there were a lot of tweaks made.... lockscreens added... MIUI battery bar.... additional toggles.... long-pressing toggles to take you to the settings... etc.
But, we do not have those things... so, what are the real differences from one ROM to another? build.prop tweaks... boot animations... themes.... and of course all are deodexed/zipaligned.
All that said... for what it is worth, Overcome does feel better than Task 7-10 did. I used it with the stock kernel for awhile, and then I tried it with pershoots kernel at 1.2 (not 1.4). This made it feel even better.
I have experienced no issues, and while I use ADW EX, the stock launcher that is included felt really snappy. I just love my gestures.
Below is a video (not a great one) of Overcome v2.1.1.... would strongly encourage you guys trying it. This is not a sound board for this ROM is better than this ROM... it is simply so you can see another ROM and hopefully encourage people to try some new ROMs.
OVERCOME CAN BE FOUND HERE
Next on my list is BinDroid... the custom theme included on that is very sexy.
I am uploading another for a widget picket app that I would love developers to start including....UPLOADED... YOU CAN VIEW THIS AMAZING APP HERE
Big fan of the recovery...
TASK told me this video review has nothing that a ROM review should have..... I'd be curious what exactly I could have shown that I did not. Please let me know how I can improve for the next video.
.
thanks for the video
I spoke to a guy here that is planning to release a rom for the tab that has all those things and a lot more. Hopefully he does cos it sounded fantastic. I checked his thread for one of his roms, I think it was the galaxy s 2 and it is great
^ who was it?
I have added another video of the Recovery... big big fan of the tweaks made to it.
strongly encourage looking at the Widget Picker app also... a must have for me.
It's a secret lol It wasn't a galaxy, don't know where I got that from. I am not saying much as it isn't up to me to talk about it yet. But you will see soon I just spoke to the guy ;-)
Thanks for the video. Great ROM.

They should hurry... CM9 is right around the corner... not sure any of us are not going to be flashing that, haha.
