Installing Desire apps on Nexus.

Which ones can be installed exactly. I want to at least get the music app. Anyone know how? Kinda new to this.

U gone get roasted 4 posting this without searching. LOL. U can't use HTC apps or wigets without using a Desire ROM. It's been asked 100 times already

Well, you can use the odd thing. I have Teeter and the HTC IME keyboard rom the Desire ROM on my Nexus One. I'm sure there'll be a couple of other things too.

I hope you get banned too. Try a search!

really dude? really?

From what i understand most of the apps/widgets rely on the desire's framework, and since the nexus one's is different they will not work.

Install the desire rom, use launcher2.apk and enjoy all worlds.
Most desire apps depend on the rosie framework so yanking them out won't work...
ps - where is the banning stick!?

Damn! You N1 owners are vicious. Come to the HD2 forums breezy, we'll just lock your thread after vaguely answering your question

Options are good, ill give you that. Personally I hate blur. Nothing but social media bloat. The launcher is laggy too. Had to put launcherpro on my d2. Ill be rooting this thing before long to get rid of blur.

ya, so far I have the basic view in but the widgets won't update automatically, it freezes at least every 20 minutes and the majority of functions are horribly broken. But in the same way it's still pretty sweet. I won't be releasing it until I can at least get it to run on the network because so far you have wifi and everything else network,gps,camera, ect. Is all down. So much for my weekend lol

Have you added these libs from an Eris ROM to /system/lib:
libhtc_acoustic.so
libhtc_ril.so
And added these lines to the build.prop:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so
ro.telephony.default_network=4
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310012
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Verizon
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=268449905
I would also take out any ro.ril.* that are in the original build.prop.
Of course, I haven't looked at a Moto ROM in a while, so I might be totally off base.

Thanks that might help

I'm curious -- what device are you porting this from?

Just installed GingerBlur, some questions..

What are the benefits over the stock OS? I don't see anything new, and switching in between home screens is glitchier. I am running 1.8.3. Also wondering where the webtop option is? It's not coming up when I plug it in, nor am I finding it in the app drawer.

Well.... i don't believe GingerBlur is a different OS. As far as i'm aware, because of the locked bootloader, that's kind of impossible at this point. I believe GingerBlur is basically just an extremely modified version of the stock OS to make it look as much like Gingerbread as it can.

Well I completely understand that, but what is the rave about? My friend told em to keep getting it, and people seem to love it on here, so I figured why not? However I am not seeing anything different, just a glitchy ass homescreen, my webtop mod isn't working, and my contact pictures aren't in my text messages LOL.

First of all, please don't shove words in my mouth. I am thankful for GingerBlur, and whoever is making it is doing a really great job, I am just wondering why my home screens are really running like crap. There is nothing wrong with it. I understand it's still in beta, I am just wondering if it's my phone doing it, that's why I posted here in the first place and wondering if it's normal.

I haven't had these issues. Are you running the webtop hack? What do you meaning the home screens are 'running like crap'. We need more information.

It's a bit glitchier than normal. Like they aren't as "smooth" as they are on stock when flicking left and right to switch between the home screens. Also the webtop hack was installed before installing gingerblur, and it said it was included in the 3.1 update. I just don't see that option when connecting HDMI.

I don't recall exactly, but I think the animations may be set to none. Checkout Settings>Display>Screen Animation and see what it's set to.

Yeah they are set to all animations. It's not that big of a deal, just was wondering if anyone else is experiencing that. I'm just bickering I suppose.

Personally speaking, I don't really care for the fancy animations. I more like my raw power and conserving battery life.

nvm reinstalled the webtop hack, working great however the homescreen shouldn't be lagging the way it is. I am uploading a video, it's not showing how slow it is though through the video. maybe I flashed something wrong in my phone.. i just rooted from stock without wiping anything, and updated to gingerblur. i keep seeing steps to flashing to gingerblur and reflashing the sfb first.. , but i didnt do that, maybe thats the cause of my "laggyness"?
UPDATE (Video with lag, it really looks smooth in this video for some reason, it's really only half that)

What exactly is MIUI?

A lot of people want it on their phones, but what is it, and what makes it so good? Is it an aosp type rom kind of like cyanogen. Thanks and forgive the noobnes of the question.

Its a cross breed of iPhone and android. YouTube it so u can see how it looks
Sent from my Epic S 4G using XDA Premium App

Just another rom, just one with some serious eye candy. 2 things really turn me off of this rom. Its closed source nature (you never know what kind of **** is in there), and the fact it is chinese (which gives me serious doubts about the security of it).
Its slick looking tho.

Yes, it's an AOSP-based rom.

its like Android + Iphone + CIQ + Nike + Great Fire Wall of China

Yeah, I had heard it was chinese, which kind of turned me off to the idea. But other than that, just another aosp rom huh? I just don't understand why people go crazy over it. I've seen what it looks like...nothing special really. Thanks for the info though.

You won't understand till you run it.

I ran it on my old evo, wasn't impressed.
It removes the app draw and puts every icon on the main screen, you can move them around, but clutters things.
It's themes are a great concept and look great if you're into what's available.
It messaging app sucks cajones, that's my general opinion.

I bet your shoes are made in China. Do you trust them? It's in English and has no spyware, or CIQ. The port for this phone however has several key features missing and no offense to the devs, it isn't quite ready for daily use. No builds have 4G. Epic's has unstable 3G, WiFi, GPS, and camera. The Devs are working hard though and trying to give us something to use.

Miui is awesome. I got great battery life and the customization is ridiculous. I have a fascinate so it was buggy and incomplete but even without mms and camcorder I still use it as my daily rom.

Custom Front-end

Does anyone thinks this is possible? Something like how this was done..

NO it was an example.. I want to know is a custom frontend possible with our phone?
something like how the HTC Flyer ui is..

Still not getting your question. Are you just talking about what shows up when you press the home button?
cd's or tapes?

Something like Boxee, Apple tv, Google tv, Xbmc is.. those are front end.. Now i wanna know is it something that as to be build within a ROM or could it be something like a Theme zip file?

ok..
of course it's possible. our phone comes with a custom "front end" installed, touchiz. just like sense and motoblur, these are all custom "front ends".
but our phone in it's current state? probably not. because you'll be building a "front end" on top of a "front end". you would probably need AOSP to be fully functional before you attempted to make a new UI for the phone

What you want is a launcher replacement. Search for Launcher Pro, ADW.Launcher, or one of many others on the Market. When you install this app and press the home button, Android will ask you which one you want to use.
As far as something comparable to Boxee/XBMC, that doesn't seem like a very good fit for Android. But there are a lot of crazy launchers out there that people have made, and they're usually compatible with all phones. Search around on google until you find something you like.
