Just got a Nexus One

I just got a nexus one exactly one week ago and Im lovin it. I made the switch from win mo. I had the Touch HD and Xperia X1. Now I dont want to root the nexus because it voids warranty and there seems to be many problems users are having with it. I dont want to have no warranty if anything happens to mine.
So I would like to know, what apps should I get and what widgets. There is a very limited number of widgets on the nexus and I want to fill up the home screen. I downloaded engadget and they have a widget, I downloaded a couple of games, xda app, and the htc sense keyboard. So I hope you other nexus users can help me since Im an andoid newbie.

What are you looking for in a widget?
I'm currently using..
Beautiful Widgets (paid)
AudioManager
DaysUntil
National Rail
Network Widget
PhotoFrame
Pure Calendar (paid)
Pure Music (paid)

nice, just downloaded. audio manager. Im looking for sense like widgets. If there was an htc desire compatable with att 3g. I wouldve got it

Hmm ok I can tell you about a couple of apps that I use often at least:
Handcent SMS - Much better than the built in messaging app imo
Dolphin Browser - I prefer it to the stock browser
3G Watchdog - Keeps track of how much you transfer over 3G, very useful
Agenda Widget - A good widget for showing upcoming appointments
RealCalc - A calculator with a "few" more options than the stock oen
Nimbuzz - Will cater to most of your IM needs
Spotify - Good for streaming music and storing it offline if it's available in your country
Doggcatcher - Great program for podcasts
Barcode Scanner -Good to have to scan in those barcode links that are used a couple of places
Battery Indicator - Gives you a number to look at in the notification bar instead of the pretty useless built in battery icon
Connectbot - SSH client
Smart Keyboard - A great keyboard with different skins and dictionaries for many languages
Documents to Go - Great office suite
Xe Currency - Keeps you up to date with conversion rates
Weather widgets - A good clock/weather widget
Games:
Don't know about that many games and I can't get the full versions of most of them since I don't have paid apps where I come from and I'm not rooted, but I can suggest a few.
Snesoid - Essential imo, play all those great SNES games on your phone and you won't need much else on the gaming side
Abduction - Jumping cows, what else do you need from a time waster?
SFCave - classic game from the early Palm devices if I'm not mistaken
Toss It - Good time waster
3d Pong - Classic flash game
Anways my tip for you is just to look around the market and test out apps, many are free and most have at least a lite version and that is the best way to find out if you like/need an app.

I'd definitely give Beautiful Widgets a go then

fwiw, handcent sms is a great app. it totally replaced mine.
the htc keyboard is great, i have it on my rooted desire rom.
Beautiful Widgets is what your looking for if you want sense style widgets. I believe they nearly got sued for their weather clock.
I love the textsfromlastnight widget, lol, but dunno if you like that site.
i keep the facebook stock widget open.
weather/news widget is actually ok, but i use the desire weather widget.

Has anyone installed nexus one packages on their tablet?

Has anyone installed the nexus one browser, contacts, calendar, and launcher on their tablet? Basically, I hate all of the Samsung Apps and want a plain froyo rom. I'm willing to install packages from my nexus one until I find the time to build one...

You should be able. I installed the calculator apk from my nexus one into my tab, cause the euro Rom didn't come with one installed, and it works without an issue.

I've been wondering the exact same thing (minus the launcher - I'm using adw since that's what comes in CM for my N1). Since it's barely been a week since purchase, I'm still a little afraid to start pulling apks over to try it out.

I tried, but I get a "replacing system package" warning, then the install fails. I tried this with my tab rooted and unroored

I think the nexus stock browser is a lot faster and more stable then the stock browser on the tab. I tried pushing over the browser.API from the nexus. But unfortunately everytime I start the browser it immediately closes. I just wanna try it out and see ignite any better.
Bump..

I am using ADW Launcher instead of Samsung Launcher and DialerOne for the dialer but I am missing the simple calculator that was on my CM 6 Nexus One.
Samsung apps are just ugly.

Not 100% sure, but some apps are dependent on the framework of the rom. You can't simply start swapping things out. Contacts and dialer are one of those things. A lot of applications rely on other things that's why they won't work. Once someone cooks up an AOSP rom for us then we can start tinkering in the world of Vanilla...
I'll gladly support someone porting over Cyanogen mod.

Youlu address book, miren browser, launcher pro, half way there already!

I have installed Calculator.apk from CyanogenMod 6.0, it works fine.
I tried to install Music.apk from CM 6.0 but it is blocked by crappy Samsung's MusicPlayer.apk. So I used TitaniumBackup to remove MusicPlayer. Then after reboot it still did not like it, because it seems Music.apk contains native code. So I tried Music.apk from beta CM 6.1 for Galaxy S and it installed just fine. Unfortunately it doesn't show music controls on the lockscreen so it must be a function of the lockscreen. So it is not better than Music Mod.
I would recommend everyone looking for vanilla music app to use Music Mod from the market.

Sense widgets gone

Hi, I was moving to the sdcard some of the apps I didn't want but now all the sense widgets are gone. I moved everything back to the phone but still no widgets.
Here is the lists of apps I removed.
Amazon MP3
AppPack
Asphalt 5
Demo Videos
Yahoo Mail
Yahoo Messenger
My Account
My Device
Quickoffice
Rock Band
Screen Share
T-Mobile TV
Video Chat
Wi-Fi Calling
Wi-Fi Hotspot

what launcher are you using

Currently using Launcher Pro. But sense widgets are not available on sense.

Please post questions in Q&A section.

have you at anytime cleared Data for HTC Sense under manage apps? when I first was playing around with different launchers I accidentally clicked "Clear Data" not ""Clear Defaults" and it caused me to lose all my Sense widgets until I did a full wipe and reinstalled ROM

Fixes. Did a Factory data reset and it went back to normal.

Keep in mind, apps widgets won't work if its on the sd card

(Q) Sprint stock apps

Hi!
Couple of days ago I've asked about sprint stock apps for DK28. Very strange thing, I've flashed the apps trough the CWM how instruction says and I can see it in the System folder but I couldn't run it. Especially widgets like FeedandNews or something like that.
How I can make it work after flashing?

Are you using the default touchwiz launcher? or a replacement launcher like launcherpro or adw? Only asking because the Samsung widgets will only work/be available if you're using the touchwiz launcher.

I have the samsung widgets for dk28 and I only use the progran moniter one and it just magically dissapears off my home screen when ever it wants to

Suggest me some lightweight ROMs

Hello all, I know you'd tell me to use the Search Tool and I did but I don't have the time to try each and every ROM this forum has to offer.
At the moment I am using "MoDaCo Custom Froyo ROM for the HTC Legend"
I have all the stock FroYo apps +
Alchemy
App2SD
AppBrain
Barcode Scnaner
Dolphin Browser HD
Dropbox
Easy Filter
Facebook
Gmail v2
Handscent
JuiceDefender with Ultimate Juice
Maps v5
Market
MyBackupPro
ROM Manager
Swype (doesn't work for some reason)
Titanium Backup
Uninstaller
Zeam v2 (Launcher)

(1) Anyway, I'd like a ROM which is FroYo (is Gingerbread faster?) which is faster and is possibly lighter on battery/resources. Boots real quick and is snappy fast. HTC Sense is not necessary as I use the Zeam Launcher (really good launcher, indeed.) I use only one home screen and no widgets.
(2) I don't even use the stock applications like App Sharing, Desk Clock, FM Radio, Footprints, Friend Stream, Latitude, "Learn More", Navigation, News and Weather, Peep, Places, Quickoffice, Stocks, Flickr, Adobe Reader, Teeter, Wi-Fi Hotspot.
(I know I can use Titanium Backup to remove these apps but I'd still like a ROM which would come without at least most of these apps)
(3) I don't use 3G or EDGE; just GPRS and WiFi
Secondly, any app suggestions?
EDIT: "[ROM] B 0.6 based on stock HTC FroYo (01/14/2011)" looks really cool but the apparent WiFi problems are holding me back. Can anyone confirm that it doesn't exist or if there is a work around?

bump?

Stick to CM6 stable that's as snappy as you get on Legend

I had flashed CM some while back, there was a Market issue. Does that still exist?

As per your request, I am here
BlaY0's ROM is good, the wifi issue isn't present for me. CM6.1 has no market issues, just remember to flash it (gapps). I am using CM7 #13 at the moment, it's real smooth. Faster, JIT works propery. The battery life for me is about 15 hrs (YMMV). I can get 2 days over the weekend (ironically I use my phone less over the weekend).
Hope this helps,

Thank you, both of you! "Thank'd"
