This is awesome. Hopefully this will be tweaked to be more stable.

Where can I find a dump of this? I want that "video editor" app.

I thought this was going to be lame like the Galaxy S launcher, but it actually looks pretty cool. I might try this out if someone gets it stable.

Has anyone tried this for the HTC Incredible yet?

LG Home force closes on moto droid. The home selector works well though.

Same!
I don't think I'll try this though, I'd love it if launcher pro did this, but there are things about launcher pro that I like, and won't give up for it.

Tried on HTC Incredible running virtuous rom.
And... This is amazing. This is my new default home.
Only 2 problems so far and both are not important.
1. if you try to use the picture frame the phone freezes. - no big deal just don't use it.
2. If you are in lg home and select it on the home launcher it will force close. - this is not a big deal either because if you are in the lg home why would you select it
Edit. Uninstalled this. Two big problems. Pressing home force closes. And randomly when browsing photos phone will freeze

Seems to work fine on the Galaxy S, might even replace Launcher Pro if I don't find any serious bugs, thanks!

I installed on my vibrant and so far is running great , I love it!

How do you install it ? Just flash both files one at the time? I have a desire with modaco rom
thx!

Works Great
You can place the apk on your phone from your computer and open it on your phone click on it to install.
By the way it works great on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000

Can I run these widgets in Launcher Pro?

Just did a quick test, and yes, not sure how stable they are, just switched to Launcher Pro, selected them and that was it.

Tested on Nexus One and works like the TS said, only force close when using the Home button but after force close everything works again. Pretty strange but I'm sure it can be fixed. Looks like one of the best launchers I've tried tough.

Works great on Galaxy S i9000 running froyo jpc. LG has done a neat job..

Force close really needs to be fixed

No matter what I do the apk's in the LG Home.zip is broken..
Tried lots of browsers and archive managers.

NO Work fine in HTC Hero with nfroyo 2.2

2.1 .APK file links

I would like to start a thread that can be a hub for the new 2.1 .APK files that are usable on the Eris.
I have tried the current live wallpapers and will install but they are not visible.
Here is a link to the WeatherGenie from Nexus 1. http://download887.mediafire.com/iwj7jx90ftvg/xmtwizbmm3m/GenieWidget.apk
Here is the same app but transparent, you need to uninstall the regular one for it to work. http://sites.google.com/site/droidlife3/home/GenieWidget-transparent.apk?attredirects=0
Add anything to this list you know will work.
Please test before you post the .apk

Are these tested? Please only tested .apks that we know will work on the Eris. Thank You!
I tested the gallery app. It works, unless you tilt the phone horizontal, then the screen goes crazy until you tilt back vertically.
I tested the music app. It works fine.
I installed and ran the clock app, I didn't like it as much as the HTC clock app, so I uninstalled it (it seemed to work fine)
I did not try either launcher.
I believe these are the extra HTC widgets we can't directly D/L fromthe HTC widget placer thingy.

This one definitely does not work. Causes FC loop which requires some Home-button-timing to get out of.

This works, but is very slow, and breaks in landscape mode. (Not FC-breaks, but massive-distortion-breaks.

Again, FC loop. No leads on the cause, I'll fire up ADB later and try to track this down.
I posted this in the wrong spot sorry. Do not post in here but instead I will start one in the correct section. Closed.

Launcher2 works perfectly for me, on my Eris, but mine is leaked 2.1, so that might be the reason.
Most people are running the "leaked" 2.1 rom on this forum and seem to not have it working... Me included, did you do anything to get it to load? and where did you DL it from?
@Allow:
how are you testing it?
I ask because I too have installed the leaked 2.1 (as has everyone who has 2.1 on an Eris) and I get the FC loop when I click the home button and choose to use Launcher for the action.

OR maybe im completely wrong here and you may very well be that 1%.
got pics to prove you have it working?
I am also getting the looping and I am running 2.1.
Omg. People pease try reading around. Launcher2 will not load. The guy that said that is either a newbie that doesn't know what launcher2 is or just likes drama. Of course with screenshot plus video I will apologize. But I have logcats from trying to load launcher2 that looks for lib files we can't add with out root

With a total of 4 post in XDA I am going to have to say that the guy is both but then again I have been surprised before maybe hes discovered how to root the the Eris
The music app is the only one that fully works and it's not much better than the leaked 2.1 eris' music app. The clock wont do fahrenheit or bring up my location at all. This thread is a complete fail.

3d gallery

Just a quick post, wife wanted picasa sync on her slide so I pulled the 3dgallery from my nexus and installed in on her slide, works pretty good except 1 of her picasa folders has 1000 photos in it, that seems to slow down the slide loading it, her other folders with less seem to load right up pretty quickly.
Didnt know if anyone else was interested in it so figured I would post that it worked.
Cool
Cool, would it be possible to post the File, I would like to check it out...Thanks
sure, I just did a quick google search for it as I wasnt sure if it could be posted here..should be able to but wasnt sure..anyways I found where they also did it for the droid, just follow his video and your all set.

Thanks for the info,however after installing and trying it runs just as slow on the slide as it does on the 2.1 ports for g1 and mt3g.don't know how it loads on nexus one but the regular gallery is fine for me so I'm going to unninstall but its nice to know we can use this if we choose.
dont uninstall it yet, give it time to load and honestly it gets faster..I assumed it was cause she had a gaint folder, but it was slow for the first several minutes
Thanks I loaded and it runs fine on my slide
Hey thanks for the info, Just installed it and like everything else it is flying alone fine for me even with 1000+ pictures. I got to say this phone just gets better every day.
i installed 3dgallery the first day. if it does slow to a crawl, kill all nsed apps or restart the phone and it will fly.
so i installed the 3D gallery but for some reason it didn't replace the 2d gallery and now it wont uninstall either of them. Any solutions to that?
hope sum1 has a solution!
Working flawlessly on my slide

think you need to be rooted if you arent.
if you are then you can just "adb pull Gallery3d.apk" then , if you want it to replace the regular gallery, rename Gallery3d to "Gallery.apk" then install the app again, and it should upgrade the previous gallery to gallery3d

has anybody gotten this version of the gallery to work on the slide? is it more stable than the fixed camera 3d gallery posted in this thread?

Yes this one.. Can nobody Extract the APK from the Tab? the root is allready out.
Has a ruu or dump been released? As far as I know there hasn't been one. Ask over at the Galaxy Tab forums for someone to send it.
Only problem I can think of is that its a Samsung widget. No Samsung widgets have been ported to same res devices as of yet, let alone a GTab res to ours :/

I don't know for sure but I think that might only work with the TouchWiz launcher that is on the Samsung phones. I don't know if it would be as simple as installing an apk. Like how you can't use Sense apps on non-sense ROMs.
very-very useful widget and application!
If you want you can give my application a try. It's designed to be the same functionality as the original or even better. Still in beta though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900918
It really is a great widget and one of my favorite things about Samsung. I wish it were available for other devices.
For what it's worth, the widget is called "Program Monitor" and the icon in the Shortcuts menu looks nothing like the widget itself.

Music player 3.0 (official Google)

here it is:
http://techfrom10.com/2011/04/the-android-test-market/
works like a charm on Cyanogenmod 7 RC4, even lockscreen commands, replaced old music.apk with new one in system/app (s-off or via adb)
enjoy!
cheers
I agree it works great - a big improvement from the previous leak.
This is also being covered in the general Android Apps and Games forum:

Larger than Winamp (7MB as opposed to 3MB once installed)
How did you get the lockscreen commands working? I had nothing. I'd maybe use it then as it does look nice, but Winamp has a better widget, plus lock screen.
It is force closing on my desire using gingervillian... any ideas?
it is working on my Viewpad 10s not optimal but useble..
Mine keeps saying "application not installed". I'm using oxygen 2.0.3. Any ideas?
I cant get it to install. I says application not installed everytime. I read somewhere that i has to do with the fact that i installed the older leaked version. How do i remove the old version completely?

Yes. That would be nice.
Not good... tried a few things.. looks ok .. uninstalled
buggy on oxygen 2.0.3
I really liked the interface though it is quite minimal so it's a shame that:
interface is slow to load and lags (not just on first load)
scrobbling gets very confused (last.fm doesn't know what to do and flashes scrobbling notification repeatedly).
uninstalled.
edit
downloaded a different version from some forum after reading an article about syncing music with latest music app. seemed to work very smoothly indeed.
I installed the one from here: Official Android Music 3.0 Beta! Get It Now!.
It works fine with the MIUI 1.4.8. But I'm missing some features like sleep timer, editing ID3-Tags. But I like the interface.
Is there a way of making this the default music app and having it work with the HTC Lockscreen? I Like it other than that.
I don't like it at all. It looks quite cheap compared to the older version... and compared to other players, including the stock HTC music player. Also, why so laggy?
thanks for this...
gooooooooood

G2 roms with working landscape

Hi Guys,
Just made the switch from my old Xperia x1 to an unlocked G2 that I found on ebay. Rooted it within a minute of it arriving and now wondering what rom to load. I really want the OTA 2.3.4 update but also want it rooted so think i'll wait on that. I also read that some ROMs have buggy landscape modes. Can anyone recommend one that fully works in landscape mode. I got the phone becuase I like the keyboard so would be annoying if the rom didnt support landscape very well.
Thanks
Darren
Just as an FYI there's a pre-rooted version of the OTA that just came out yesterday. There aren't a ton of testers but it seems to be working.
I haven't had a ton of chances to play with all the Sense offerings (don't really care for Sense) but the versions of Virtuous Unity have had working landscape. Many times just using a non-stock launcher can fix landscape issues. Launcher Pro and ADW have always rotated properly for me.

I've been using it the past day and it works great in landscape. Also any stock roms/cm7 work well with landscape, miui roms don't and i find sense roms too slow switching to landscape.
Hi sorry coming back on this again.
If I flash a rom, say the Vision sense 3.0 that doesnt support landscape yet. Does it just mean that only the sense UI wont rotate on keyboard pullout and that apps like messaging, email, browser etc will 'still' rotate and keyboard function fine. Or does all that stuff stop rotating as well?
Thanks
