I'm uploading a Gingerbread system image as a zip so you guys can try some Gingerbread apps or pull images to make Gingerbread themes and what not. Enjoy!
DOWNLOAD
There doesn't seem to be anything new in these apps other than new themes for the launcher and keyboard, but if you still want to try, copy them to /system/app, change the following line in /system/build.prop, and reboot.

Alright let us know. I tried moving Launcher2.apk and Music.apk to /system/app and then rebooting, but Launcher2 doesn't appear anywhere (Home Switcher, etc.) and the Music icon is just gone from the app drawer, so I guess I'm doing something wrong.

Try changing this line in build.prop and reboot:

How'd you do the install? Did you use a file manager to move the apk to /system/app, or did you just navigate to the apk and hit install?

Running Perception Build 4 w/ Setiron 1.4.1 1280
Hey guys just thought I'd report in with some observations. I got Launcher2, MMS, Music, and LatinIME installed and working. With LatinIME the only problem was there was no prediction of upcoming words. Then I installed DeskClock.apk, NetSpeed.apk, SystemUI.apk, and UserDictionaryProvider.apk (in hopes of fixing lack of text prediction). When I rebooted after installing these four, it got stuck in a boot loop. Unfortunately since I installed four apks at once, I couldn't localize the problem to one in particular. Though if I had to guess I'd say it was probably SystemUI.apk, as when I installed that it told me it was for the status bar, which may cause some issues. I'll try to install one at a time and see for sure which one causes the issue.

i pushed it on with adb, it shows up in root explorer now, but not in the widgets list. anyway to make this work?

you installed the HTC news widget right on the phone? the one i tried wouldn't install.
i got the NewsReader.apk installed and opened...now trying to figure out how to get the widget...
anywho, i successfully modified and then pushed the modified News and Weather (GenieWidget) onto the phone. i themed it to match my FeedR widget.
tried to post a screen cap but it's not letting me. something about being a new member.
i have the widget.apk, but not the NewsReader.apk. maybe that's why it's not working. we need to share files. lol
here is the link for the newsreader.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/?xuzn5r0yzze
the app itself does nothing but force close for me. are you getting the same result?
do we maybe also need the odex file?
i was just going to say that....i am going to check...but the rom that i have is deodexed...do you have odex files?

i do not have the odex files. i'm giving up for now. lol hopefully somebody can figure it out. i'm good with my skinned geniewidget for now.
You say your rom is deodexed... you're running a fully deodexed rom on DI? Did you build this yourself, or...?
I have some ideas for the news widget, but I'd like to see newsreader working first.
Thanks!
I posted progress..
I posted progress on the same thread in the apps section. I rooted and pulled de-odexed files from an evo build and pushed them to the system/app/ directory, i then cleared the data in HTC Sense app and the widget and icon showed up. The problem is that they force close. You need 3 files
RSS.apk
NewsReader.apk
com.htc.NewsReaderWidget.apk
I don't think it will make any difference to use odex'd files. Usually it is better to have de-odex'd files to install. The files must be on /system/app/ directory in order to even show up and launch. I hope that a dev is able to take a better look at the androidmanifest.xml in the app or use logcat to see what the hell is going on.
If you want to write to the /system/app/ directory,
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /sdcard/RSS.apk /system/app/RSS.apk
(etc...)
then applications-->manage-->HTC Sense -->clear data...
But again, FC's will occur until someone is able to look at the manifest and alter it. I looked at the MinSDK for this app and it is the same as the DInc, otherwise I would've changed that part with a Hex editor myself.
Hope someone is able to do this, we would all be one step closer to a smaller Evo, lol. (I really don't like holding a "kindle" to my ear anyways, lol!)

what errors do you get that cause the force closures? (logcat from adb)
Updating the manifest files isn't hard, but requires resigning... did you need to resign the evo files after deodexing?

I didn't need to resign because the .apk files I pulled were from a build that was de-odex'd in the "Evo Android Development" Section. Root Explorer recognizes the files right away, but because they need to be system files, they can't be installed like other apps. I don't have a logcat because I really don't dev too much, but would be thrilled if others tried this.

I ran into this problem too running the Sprint based Fresh rom. While Jcase's Market Fix will fix the problem with missing protected apps, it wont fix the missing Verizon apps.
To do that, I used Root Explorer on my phone and opened the "build.prop" file located in the System folder. Open the file in the included text editor and scroll down to until you see this line:
"ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric"
The correct value for the line should be "310012". Sprint roms will have the value as "310120".
Save the changes and exit. After reboot, check your Market. The right-most tab on the main page will read "Verizon" now instead of "Downloads".
Or flash this handy zip from recovery.

I just rooted last night and put the first custom ROM on my phone. This is uncharted territory for me. Everything is great so far except for these missing apps.
I tried the root explorer method, but it would only let me read the text, not edit.
EDIT: Ignore this post. GREAT SUCCESS!! Too easy.

Thank you.
I was doing it the hard way - download the app in a HTC/VZW Rom, copy them to SD, restore the Sprint ROM (Aloysius V12) and install.
Looking at them now in the Market.

As all of us vzw g2 owners know, verizon left out the browser app in favor of chrome. But they didnt enable qslide with chrome.

Honestly I am pretty sure you don't have to flash the browser zip before putting the apk in the system/app folder. Just rename the apk you provided to LGBrowser.apk and put it in system/app, also changing the permissions to match the other system apps. The zip is simply flashing the same file without the qslide properties that are built into the apk you have linked to. For some reason those properties were not included in the zip scott posted for the LG browser. Great find overall! Just wanted to clarify that people dont need to flash the zip... just use the apk you provided named correctly with the correct permissions in the system/app folder and reboot. Sweetness!!!

Not my experience. I tried pushing & renaming just the apk when Scott first posted it. Fixed permissions, reboot & the icon didn't even show up. Booted back into twrp to wipe cache/dalvik & fix permissions from there & when I rebooted the icon was present but gave an immediate FC when selected. I gave up on it & grabbed the aosp browser from the play store.
This has been the only way I could get the stock lg browser to work at all. Having it in qslide is just icing on the cake.

The key to your statements is you were using Scott's apk which is not this apk posted. Compare the apk in Scott's zip to this one. I am talking about pushing this apk into the system without flashing Scott's zip. But if you needed Scott's zip flashed first and then pushing this apk I suppose there must be something going on in the background I'm not aware of. In my experience they are different apks. Scott's zip flashes the first browser version into system/app folder and then all we are doing is then pushing this second version apk and overwriting it. So basically the first step is unnecessary imho. But whatever works thanks to the op for this other apk.

Okay figured it out. I am running clean rom and idk if the scotts rom one works with this one or not. SO...I just took the LGBrowser apk from the op and dropped it in the system/app folder. That worked like a charm...and Now all browsers working and qslide etc. I would suggest a nandroid which is why I fixed mine also rename the LGBrowser.apk in the system/app folder to LGBroswer.bak or something before replacing it with the one in the op so if it gets jacked you can back it up. Anyways good luck to you all and thanks op.

Ok so i did alittle googling and as far as i can tell i could be a problem with the site or your network especially if its a guest network. But one of the fizes seems to be clearing browser cache, cookies and history (id clear data in the app manager too for good measure) if that doesn't work google the first few words of the error cuz there were a ton of entries and one should have a fix that works for u. Either way i really dont see why just installin an apk would cause that so you may have some deeper issues with the network where your at?

The att version doesnt have the stock browser either? I assumed it did. But yea It should, there is nothing device specific in the apk but i didnt put the zip together so the updater script might have a version check, but try it n let me no. The absolute worst case scenario is forced closes
Awesome dude. Confirmed it worked!
Manually copy apk over and change permissions to match other files, then flash the LGBrowser.zip. Then it shows up in QSlide apps and floats. So nice.
I've been missing this since I got my G2. I watched a video and seen the floating browser and QuickNotes. Ran and picked up my Verizon phone and found they removed the browser.

What ROM are u running bro? I'll see if I can duplicate it on the ROM ur running so we can maybe figure out why its not working for u
this should fix rotation on all apps. it definitely fixes rotation on most apps, including the lockscreen.
you need a build.prop edit
i've tested this on the new OTA 33R and 38R stock.
works like a charm.
i hope people will build this into their customs, if they haven't already
go to /system
edit /system/build.prop. you'll need an editor with root access and r/w privileges
add to the end of the file
Code:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
save.
reboot.
now someone make a simple script app for me so that i don't have to write this every time i flash, lol.

I was looking for that too, thanks.
Hmmm....my homescreen now rotates but not my lockscreen. I'm on 33R stock rooted. My bad. There was a space in "lockscreen". Works perfect now. Thanks!

i think this should help you out

attached are the things you need
extract the files from the zip
put the tweak.prop on the root of your internal storage
then after an update or new rom, flash the tweakprop-0.5.2.zip in recovery
should fix you up nicely, just tested it and it worked fine for me

lol, much appreciated. i totally forgot about that post, and was just updating the thread.
verified working on 05Q
Any idea how to enable lockscreen rotation on 12S? The build.prop edit doesn't seem to work on Lollipop.

Well, shoot, it works for me too now. I swear it wasn't working right after I did it, even after a reset. Oh well. Thanks!
