Does anybody have the original G2 launcher.apk that they can give me?
Tired of using this dumb ADW on cm7
Thanks in advance

You don't want the stock G2 launcher, you need the stock 2.3 launcher. I've made tons of posts about this because people ask for it a lot.
You can find the mod here in the Nexus S forum: THREAD.
Download the first file and flash through recovery. You'll lose all your homescreen placements and widgets you have set up with ADW.
If you want to flash this over nightlies every day, you need to follow a specific order to not lose your placements again.
1) flash CM7 nightly via recovery (not ROM manager)
2) after install, stay in recovery (don't boot up into the ROM!), go to Advanced > Reboot recovery
3) after recovery reboots, flash the launcher mod
Just in case you're lazy, I've attached the file also.

So I got my Droid X in the mail yesterday, it came with Froyo. I rooted it as well.
So next would I get Bootstrap for Droid X boot make backup?
Then Deodox?
Then install ROM Manager so I can install thems, icons, fonts, etc.?
Im wanting to have a backup in its original state.
Been trying to read up but theres so much Im getting a bit lost.
Thanks.
Yeah, get the bootstrap and rom manager, make a backup, then you can apply roms and themes. If something goes wrong or you just don't like it you can restore your backup. Flash the custom recovery in rom manager, then use the bootstrap, click bootstrap recovery and then reboot recovery and you will be in clockwork recovery.

Ok I got the bootstrap, I made a backup then reboot. I got rom manager and installed the mod that it asks.
To be organized, is there a specific folder I need to put my themes and roms in or can i just create my own and go from there?
And Im assuming if I want to go back to OEM I just restore from my backup correct?

Yes.. you can put your themes in whatever folder you like... but if you download them from rom manager... it puts them where it wants.
Yes.. to go back to OEM, restore from that backup you made.
What if I get a rom and want tho throw a theme on top of it? How do i go about doing this? I know i can install the rom from rom manager. How do I do the theme? Also how do I change the system font and dock icons?
Most cases reboot recovery, mounts and storage, mount system (turns to unmount) install zip, choose zip. Always check were you downloaded to make sure there isn't any extra steps

I am running Cyanogen 6.0.0-Heroc. I have been for about 6 months but it has some quirks (locks up sometimes, etc) that may be better with a newer version (I hope). Can somebody please give me very explicit step by step instructions to load a new ROM. Also can you give me a link to the newer version of this ROM.
I was scared to death when I rooted my phone and am equally fearful now. I appreciate your help.
Whoops, accidentally clicked thank
Anyway, I can only speak for what I have done. I have heard that updating to gingerbread takes a slightly different approach. (But I haven't tried it yet)
What I do:
Download the rom and put it on my sd card
Reboot into recovery
NANDROID BACKUP
wipe data/cache/factory reset
wipe davlik
wipe battery stats
flash rom
flash gapps
reboot
Flashing a rom is very easy. I suggest the app rom manager. What you do is you put the . Zip file on the root of your sd card (not in any folders) and re-name it * update* without the *. Now flash clockwork recovery mod and boot your phone into recovery mode via rom manager. It will take you into recovery mode (big surprise) now select install update.zip. this should install the mod right away. the phone will reboot and you have yourself a custom rom my friend.
READ THIS FIRST!!!
troubleshooting and other tips: i put this in because i had countless problems when i first flashed a rom...
if your .zip file won't flash because it says it isn't signed the go to options and disable the need for it to be signed.
so if you are given the option to backup your current mod i highly recomend that especialy if you aren't sure about the rom.
next i suggest getting a rom with gapps as you need that to sync your accounts. just boot to recovery mode then select an option to manually install programs or something like that. select gapps and you're gravy!
i see you need a rom update. i cannot give you the link but look for CM7 it is gingerbread and it looks classy. don't be afraid if it takes a long time to boot. that is natural. it should be in htc hero development forums.
backup everything you can. i suggest creating a folder labeled phone or sd card. copy and paste all files just in case.
if you need any more help I would be glad to help you.

You have to be booted into a sense rom in order to flash a radio and you flash it through recovery just like you would a rom. You can flash CM7 by booting into a recovery (Amon_ra or Clockwork) or by going through ROM Manager, you don't need to do both. ROM Manager boots you into Clockwork recovery and just kind of automates the flashing process. I use Amon_ra, I've read about issues with using Clockwork. It's just a personal preference.
You only have to install the ROM once, whether it's using RomManager or whether you do it manually in recovery. If you see the CyanogenMod screen when you boot up, then you're good to go.

Hello. i am new to the android family
i have a nexus s GT-9020T
i have rooted my phone but without setting the clockworkmod reovery.
today i was playing with the rom manager and downloaded one of the rom from the list. after installation i was unable to start the phone only seeing the google logo with the unlock logo.
i went back into the recovery by typing flash recovery recovery.img etc.
run a restore and restart the phone but still not work
my nexus s is 2.3.4 by the way.
please assist
What "restore" did you run?
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
And download the full rom:
Model: i9020T
Full Rom: GRJ22, KD1
That'll revert your Nexus S to the latest completely stock 2.3.4
Then you can flash recovery again and go back to clockwork mod and go flash another rom or whatever.
Remember when you're flashing a new rom you need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache.
i run an restore from the backup that i made before installing the new rom using clockwork mod recovery, its part of the option when installing the rom using the rom manager * click box - backup * etc something like that

Next time don't use Rom Manager to make backups or flash roms. It's stupid and can get you issues like you're having.
Anyways, try wiping data and cache then restoring the backup, do it in Clockwork Recovery.
Let it boot, first boot always takes a while, 5-10 minutes. If you see the boot animation freeze, stop and restart, then yeah it's screwed up, otherwise, just let it is.
If still not working from your backup, do what I said in previous reply, just restore to stock 2.3.4 then re flash clockwork mod and start over with the rom you want to flash.
thank your nxt. i have found the real problem. it was not my backup problem or the rom that u provided. it was the version of my clockwork mod recovery. i was using an 2.x.x.x to restore the phone which is why it doesn't work. everything work fine now after i flashed with an 3.x.x.x and restore the phone. one question thou, where can i always find the newest clockwork mod recovery release ? thank you very much

Or just use ROM Manager to get the latest.
That's the only thing I use ROM Manager for... getting the latest Recovery.
thanks again nxt. if you don't mind really ...i have one more question. i know the phone intend to uninstall clockwork mod recovery once its restarted. i know there is command type into the cmd to avoid the phone uninstall the clockworkmod reovery and make it permanent in another word. I didn't run those command when i root my phone because i don't know if its good to make it permanent like.... hmmm like if there will be a 2.3.5 coming next month..just saying ok... with a permanent unofficial recovery will cause a problem?

Are you running custom ROM? If you are, it's already made to not revert back to stock recovery. If you leave it stock recovery you'll get notifications for firmware updates by Google, but remember that applying those to a rooted phone might screw things up too.
the blue one is stock recovery right?

Don't remember. It should only have like 3-4 options.
thanks again nxt. no i am not running an custom rom. i mean not yet. i planed to try one from the rom manager download section then my phone couldn't start after installation and now i have restored my phone from my backup using the clockwork mod recovery 3.x.x.x.
HI all i foolw every step of AlphaRev X: mod successfully patched my phone than follow this guide Via PC49IMG Process successfully.
my questions are as follows.
1. thats all i need to done before flashing a custom rom..?
2. After flashing a custom rom if wanna go back to stock one is it possible to do that if yes than how??
3. While using a patched phone or custom rom os phone is it safe to restore phone to factory defaluts??
Please answer ASAP...
1) Yes
2) To the Stock ROM Yes, it is possible. But, not completely stock, as in, your S-OFF will still be S-OFF.
3) I wouldn't recommend it. There seems to be issues with many users with many aspects when they are factory resetting after getting S-OFF / Custom Recovery.

what types of issue can u plz provide me some details??
how to flash the stock ROM??
Please suggest any best good rom to flash yaar?
It seems Wallpapers go missing, Settings dont work, Widgets dont work, stuff like that. There was a thread here somewhere, seems to be lost.
For ROMs, it depends whether you need Sense or not. If you are fine without Sense, take a look at Cyanogenmod 7, and, if you need Sense, take a look at ROMs like JokerDroid and WildPuzzle.
A Complete list can be found here: (Part 2)

To restore to Stock ROM, simply select a safe flash RUU from Part 5 of the same post, and flash it, the ROM will be restored to stock. Alternately, take a Nandroid backup of your Stock ROM, and restore it later, which will again give you back your Stock ROM

I'm also using cm7. I haven't really faced any major bugs. Most of them are not bugs really. Only thing maybe is gps issue which will be fixed by reflashing the radio.
Reg., themes yes u can have theme chooser themes. And u can use theme Chooser application in the app drawer to apply it.
