Is it possible to put the blur messaging.apk on blurless roms... i've always stuck to blurry roms like apex and bazinga, but i want to check out liberty and i've used the aosp messaging and i don't really like it...
I don't think the blur messaging is something u can add in. liberty has a toolbox that allows you to add in some blue features, but messaging is not one if them...
Try searching around for adding blur messaging into non blur roms, but I dont know any way at the moment

Try Tranquility 3.6. You can add and remove a lot of things

Ohhh I know there are roms where you can add the blur stuff you want, I'm specifically asking if there is a way you can add the blur messenging into blurless roms, like liberty

The point of a blurless rom is that it doesn't have blur. If you want true blur go back to stock
I understand that... I guess you weren't fully grasping my question

Ok then it depends in the rom that you are running. Fusion seems like a good idea for you because it is a slightly blurred version of fission. Give that a try

+1 for jmoney's comment. I would suggest trying out fusion or apex. Or zapX bazinga, but I havent really followed zapX for a while, so I dont know its current status.

Yeah I've tried zapx and apex... I was just wondering if you can specifically install the blur messaging .apk on a blurless rom...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I guess if it is an .apk you should technically be able to install it... I'll do some digging around different forums

Just because it is an .apk, does not necessarily mean it will install. With that, if it does install, it may not work correctly either. Some .apk files (blur files for instance) have other dependencies such as the moto-res.apk or the blur-res.apk files that come with the stock Motorola ROM's. These additional apk's have the dependencies built into them that allow the blur components to run correctly. Without the necessary configuration (not exactly sure, as I have not done ROM development) these blur apks will not work.
My guess with blur apps such as the blur camera, is that they do not rely on the moto-res or blur-res files in order to run, or only need a modification to a lib file to work correctly. Again, I'm not a programmer, but have a decent amount of IT knowledge and background for basic ideas and concepts. If you can find an answer that allows you to install what you are looking for, I would very much like to know about it, as many people here ask the same question you are asking.
However, (and I hate to sound redundant) the blur-less ROMS are created because many people dislike blur. Along with that... If I can find an answer to help you out, I will be sure to post back here as well!
Sorry to sound repetitive or a downer, just trying to provide you with any info I have.
What you said makes complete sense
.. I guess I just like the "build" of the blur messaging compared to the aosp messaging... I'm slowly getting used to the aosp messaging in liberty.... I guess you can only take what you get!

Does anyone have the actual launcher for the nexus s that doesn't look low res on eg22. I usually use the eugue373 gingerbread launcher from the market but it looks low Res for some reason. I know it was like that on ef02 and marcusant had it working correctly. Any thoughts?
There are two gingerbread launchers on the market. You might try the other one.
Just use Sprint ID. Search for the "Clean" ID and apply it. It will give you the *real* Gingerbread launcher.

No, it only gives you the gingerbread phone icon and app drawer. Id icon is still on the tab.
Bumping this.
Does anyone have a clue how to make the reg aosp launcher work correctly. Marcusant has the only rom that uses it. His Bamboozled roms use it as well and it looks great. I've even tried pulling the apk from his rom and just installing it on other ef02 eg22 roms, it works but looks like crap.
Not trying to be a troll or anything but AFAIK the only difference between the Sprint ID launcher and the standard launcher is the Sprint ID icon that cannot be changed, the menu and desktop UI is the same.

My gf has the nexus s 4g so I can back up her launcher and post it here later on tonight
I probably should have stated I tried the actual nexus launcher from another thread on here. As well as the 7 homescreen launcher, same issue. Very strange. I'm sure it's something minor causing it. I think I may just ask marcusant on acs's site.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I've used the one from the nexus s on my epic before and it worked well..... ill put the apk up in a few
Nevermind I can't find it but ill keep an eye out for it and/or ill try to mesh an apk together that will work

bonsai b14. I'll get it a shot again though. I'll try flashing again though, I have it on my sd, but who knows, maybe I flashed the same one again. I'll let ya know
Just flashed it, very cool with 7 homescreens. Still does the same thing though. It's not super terrible looking, it's just the icons when you hit the drawer, they show up and they are like low res looking. It's been discussed before and marcusant said he knew how to fix it. I'm going to see if I can just get any info out of him on the acs forum.

Dude! Thanks you so much. Worked like a charm. Awesome.
the post says it's for 2.3.4, so i'm not sure if it works on 2.3.3... i'm in the midst of cooking up my own rom.
If someone could test and let me know, i'll probably package the launcher and 3d fix up for flashing.
I just flashed it on eh17. Works great.

EH17 is 2.3.4, though... Was wondering about 2.3.3
I'm sure someone will test on other builds... All good.
Not sure. But at one point I attempted to pull the system/lib/egl folder from marcusant's anonymous i3 ROM (it had a working stock launcher) and replace it on eh06, didn't work. Ai3 was 2.3.3. But I was trying to put it in a 2.3.4 ROM. Needless to say I don't know what I'm doing. But maybe that folder from Ai3 will work do for all other ef02 roms if this zip doesn't.
Out of curiousity. Now that we have this. Does anyone a zip of the actual nexus s launcher. I'm using one I found on here but its not completely stock. When you go into landscape mode it turns into the froyo launcher.

Just for kicks, i went and downloaded a Nexus S Stock ROM... Come to find out that the landscape view on it is Froyo look aswell. The GB Launcher on the market seems to just be a slimmed down version. I'll zip the fix and launcher up and post in Themes.
Oh that's super weird but it makes sense cuz of the lack of a keyboard. Good stuff though.
I was running gingerbread but downgraded so i could root my dz. i have gained root but now there is a constant notification of a new system update in my notification bar. anything i can do about this?
thanks

install CM7, its faster, better battery, and you shouldnt get the update becuase cyanogenmod has them blocked!
i had CM7 installed, and it caused LOADS of issues with loads of applications for me. kept getting the forced closed message, so i went back to standard. (which was a ballache in itself because i am pretty bad at this stuff)

EDIT: Oops, didn't notice you say you aren't rooted. Well, if you ever do root, you can use the AOSP ("vanilla Android") or CyanogenMod versions of the messaging apps.

Handcent is so laggy once you have used GO SMS Pro. I don't get why people are STILL recommending it. I wouldn't use either laggy Handcent or the underdeveloped ChompSMS.
Only problem I have with GO SMS Pro is the childish themes. But I just use the dark theme anyways.
I really haven't had an issue with the stock SMS app. Do most people toss it away because of the lack of features or what?

Yeah. I mainly like the popup. The stock SMS app is already really good as it is, but I like more customization.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. I have used Go SMS before and I did like the pop up feature as well.
if i remove the stock sms app will go sms still work?
Actually, you can keep using the stock app if you just want a popup/quickreply feature, download an app called sms popup.

It comes with CM7. I believe it has been posted to these forums somewhere, but if searching doesn't net you any results, you can just extract the Mms.apk from the zip file of ÇM7 pre-beta for this device. As I mentioned, you have to be rooted (as far as I know) as it's a system app. Back up your texts first using SMS Backup or similar from the market.

I use the Mms.apk from /system/app of CM7.3 Stable for the EVO and for the N1. They are different file sizes and I found the N1 had more features. (strange I know) plus it is for a GSM phone, EVO is a CDMA. Anyway point is that AOSP Mms.apk is pretty generic and you can pull it and the alarm clock, the calculator, the Email.apk CarHome.apk and a few other apps. Some will just install some require you copy/paste into the /system/app/ Folder.
FYI I just tried Mms.apk, I am rooted but it installed just like any app. So you should be able to just install it, No Root needed.
Interesting...did it install as a system app or a normal app (did the package manager install the apk to /system/app or to /data/app)?
I like the stock blur SMS app as well because of it's simpleness, but on Alien 4 it will not resize attachments so I use Handcent, been using Handcent for some time now (even when I was using CM7 on my Aria) and have never had a problem with it. I've tried others and have always gone back to Handcent. The wake lock you speak of, please elaborate...I have not notice my phone not idling or anything while using Handcent.
The stock mms.apk that comes with CM7 is nice if you like the barebones look, I don't and that's why I like the blur sms app, it is not so bare (although it is very short on settings).

Can anyone tell me what sort of app is this and what's it doing in the background.?
I don't have any such app, this is not a device specific app. Probably, this app does not have an icon so Android assigned it one by default. One more possiblity is that it might be some app which you tried to uninstall but it could not uninstall completely and some core parts of app are still installed (though this is highly unlikely).
P.S. Please add a more helpful title of the post so that others can also take benefit of it.
