For a senior member on a site biased to modding, that was such a stupid answer.
Do you give that answer to everyone out their who wanted TouchFlo 3d on their NOT-HTC device
or maybe your wanting to send me the $1400 (nzd) needed for xperia, if so cough up, or maybe just read the post again, i have a htc touch dual, not a friggin xperia and all i want is a good music media app that is good and ascetically pleasing and the xperia has that pegged, and if you read my post again you will see i just want the media app, i dont want the panels or the haptic touch screen or the large bulk or that device, i just want the software which this website has proven time and time again that their is always some smart cookie who can supply the deman.
btw if i had the money for xperia, i would buy an android device. and veer entirely away from WinMo and Apples bastardized leopard port.
jealous anyway, google.com I've seen some pages over there
What do you want after all? The Media panel (Not as a panel, of course) or the Windows Media Player (Black with the Blue buttons - what's so special about it? I think it comes with every WM, right?)
kinda

what i want is that blue XMB interface and the black media player, and no unfortunately the WMP on my HTC Neon is like most parts of the the OS the most un-ascetically pleasing thing going

Thats the hard thing iv read about it, even seen vids about it, but they are few and far between, its like im the only one intrigued by the music player, heres a quote from Mobile tech review
"The Sony Ericsson Xperia, rather than slumming it with Windows Media Player Mobile, adds its own media player, accessible as a panel. This looks just like the media player on the Sony PSP and high end Sony Ericsson feature phones like the K850i and walkman phones. It handles photo viewing, video playback and music playback. We particularly like the music player, whose look, feel and features are top notch"
Any way just open up your Xperia, go into the music panel and their it is, the music player!!
If you mean this, thats `s the SE Media Panel. You can search for it as a cab and try it yourself. I don`t no if this works on a non Xperia.

If you'd of just searched through the internet and xda for the media panel you wouldnt have needed to start a thread about it in the first place - maybe you should do that in the future since those were the answers you got...

It is PEACH. Sometimes. I'm ok with the panel when it's plain blue but I think it changes backgrund color on a schedule. ?? At least I cannot find any settings or way to disable... peach.
It's also sort of oversensitive on the metatagging thing. My music library is in perfect order when I browse the library in the plain windows mobile player, no unknown artists or albums or whatsoever. The panel library always find some tags I didn't know are there - and I run the albums both in Mp3 tagger and Ashampoo music studio before I synch to the device.
Point is: don't have too high expectations, it's not that good.
wrong again

Well just finished all the installing and tweaking. Recorded a video to show a friend of mine what the Fresh ROM was all about, so for anyone interested in seeing it in action, or its speed, the video i think does it justice. Uploading right now, should be up in a few minutes.

I do like that boot screen, but i think im going to stick with just the nexus one. Its not so much to feign being a nexus phone, so much that i just like the animation, lol. Next video is the boot up process.
good vid, but this is too blurry!
Yeah... I had it recored in better quality but the filesize was about 250 megs, i may have lowered the quality a bit too much. The main thing i was trying to show was the speed and "zippiness" of the Fresh ROM, so quality aside i think it showed that. Im gonna record a better video here soon to really show specifics.

from what I know and have read Touchwiz is built over the android source code so it could be removed technically, but who is going to take under such a task when there are parties working to bring 2.2 source with some tweaks.
I'm sure it could be done but there are too many bright things in the near future of this device for anyone to take on such a task.
I could be wrong but this is my understanding on this device.
Well.. I don't really want to remove "TouchWiz".. Just the twLauncher application.
I would just prefer to avoid having 2 launchers running at all times.

Before you nail me to the cross, please READ my question. I didn't ask if I could use or install another launcher. I asked if I could REPLACE the launcher, as in remove the TW Launcher in place of another.

Look, I'm not trying to start crap, but it was a valid question that was not answered correctly because someone assumed that I was asking if I could use "another" launcher rather then "replace" the stock launcher.
All I'm saying is, lets not be so harsh in our initial responses.
All is good, I'm not mad, lets all just be friends
iceshinobi said:

No, because the other launcher would still exist, and serve its former role.. If I "replaced" your job, you would not have it anymore, and you would likely no longer get paid. If I replaced the stock launcher, it would not function or act as a launcher anymore, and I would thus not want it to consume the memory it was originally allocated.
This is getting silly now.. I honestly don't care that much to bicker anymore. Lets just be friends and talk crap about all the iKiddies instead, sound good?

Now that you've made it clear:
Check running services under applications. Touch wiz is not running. Check battery use, tw is not there.
Once you load a custom rom it will be moot anyway

So it has been REPLACED. Not deleted, but replaced.
After all, if you replace me at my job, I am no longer working, but I don't die and get buried. I still exist, I'm just not working at that job.

I hit quote on this thread and it somehow posted to the other. No idea how that happened.
OP,
My understanding is that once you set another launcher as default, TW home does not load into memory. The only advantage to physically replacing the apk would be that it would then be running from the system allocated partition and may load faster at boot. I really don't think there's a noticeable difference. I'm no pro, tho. That's just my half educated guess.

I use the notification bar a lot so the "recent app" section is taking a lot of screen space...to much when it's up to me. Is there a Hack to switch this off and use the notification bar...for notifications? I know I can install a custom rom (my DHD is rooted) but if a hack can do the job?
I'm also curious about how to remove the "recent apps" from my notification bar, as it is useless to me (prefer holding down the home button) and taking excess space on the screen.

Agreed, I never really understood this menu anyway, some apps don't seem to show up in it. Maybe it would be useful if it had a built in task killer.
I'd like to see it gone for another reason. When I use lots of different apps, and the "recent apps" change greatly Notification Bar lags, sometimes even 4-5 seconds, which is a LOT. Do you experience the same issue?
Also, bump on the idea.
Great idea! Would love some toggles or music controls instead.

I'm afraid that any major change to these icons or the "recent apps" section will require root privileges.
Definately worth rooting for. Liamstears theme has a customisable power bar in place, though it does allow for both if you feel the need to.

Yes, this recent apps in the notification bar is just useless and takes up the real estate space. Its so useless when you can achieve same from home button.
It will be great to get a hack or option to switchoff this stupid strip.

people use the "brick" word too easly imo, a bricked device wont power on at all, it is as useful as a brick (hence the name). but you see threads all the time "help bricked" or "have i bricked my device" when in reality there device is faaaaaaaar from bricked so dont let it scare you, its actually quite hard to brick your device
Ok, i know i'm off topic now, and sorry about that, but what is the best guide for downgrading and rooting the DHD?
Edit: Found it myself
If your phone is rooted you could flash a mod by he_stheone64 or by krzysiec and then changing the .txt file to stop showing recent opened app. All the instructions are on there great posts in the themes and apps section.
Yeah, i've done that and it's a very quick and easy process.

I don't even know if I'm allowed to start threads here since I am nowhere near being a Dev but I do love this forum and appreciate all who are out to make our Vibrants the way Samsung should have and who are living up to the Google open source standard.
If this is a waste or not allowed to be here, mods feel free to delete this thread
I've noticed that most all of Vibrants owners have modded their phones with Team Whiskey Roms and are very particular. Some also don't like reading or searching. I don't blame you when there are over 800 thank you posts and only about 50 quality helpful posts in any ROM thread.
This is why I wanted to start this thread. I went through all of the pages from the nero v4 rom and found all the posts directly from that thread that had some sort of apk or mod that many people were asking for. I must have seen atleat 20 posts alone for the "larger battery number mod"

Correct, you can record in standard low-res 720x480, but trying to record in HD is broken - that's why that camera was removed from Nero.

Some people are complaining about the sms/mms messaging, market, and other things. I for one am having no problems whatsoever(knocksonwood) but others have contributed to the thread and listed atleast the add-ons or "fixes" in the thread multiple times b/c some people don't want to read (i.e. complaining about DoW kernel when there is a disclaimer about it in the OP of the thread)
Ahh, I also have no issues, but was curious why the title made it seem like this was only for 4.0, not necessary for 4.1... thanks for the clarification. I know 4.1 took care of a lot of issues in 4... odd.
