im looking for the samsung launcher with the samsung widgets. or a way to somehow magically use SENSE widgets with a different launcher.
any other cool launchers to play with as well?
i heard rumors of acer/LG/moto launchers, but have not been able to find them.
any help/links?
bumping so it doesnt get lost. please does anyone have any of the installable launcher alternatives? and the widgets that go with them.
It can't be done. You answered your question by saying the word magically. If it was possible I'd be using my vibrants widgets on launcher pro.

you can use the vibrants launcher on the hd2 but not the widgets.

put it on your sd card and use a file manager (like astro) and install it.
I installed Gingerbread Launcher on MyTouch 4G.
But i still have Sense UI running.
Is there any way to uninstall it?
You should be able to with titanium backup.as long as you're rooted and s-off. I'm not sure if you'll have any issues from uninstalling sense tho, might want to backup just in case.

I use launcher pro and I deleted all apks concerned with sense from my system/app folder. Just delete anything with widget after it, and delete rosie.apk. Just don't mess with the actual weather/news apks. News is labeled greader. Widgets are okay to delete. Just not the actual apps themselves. You will get lots of fc notices. That will kill htc sense. It sped my phone up a lot to get rid of it.

I deleted my weather and news apk's and don't have any FC's. Your suggestion is not totally accurate. It is safe to remove them. Removing actual apps is OK as long as you know which ones are OK to remove.
Please double check your facts before posting tips/advice.
I only posted that advice because of personal experience. I had deleted the weather apk and I got lots of fcs for com.htc.bgp. When I restored my backup, I tried again and got the same fcs.
techfrom10 got access to a test version of Market and downloaded some Google apps which apparently are test versions also.
Please see which apk works fine for you. As for me, only the camera is ok! LOL
What is working:
-Other users report Camera is OK (including me). FC when switching to video and viewing preview.
-Other users report Music is working fine for them.
-Clock widget is ok. Honeycomb style But only the widget. if you open it, FC!
*I checked the details of the apks: target version is 11, meaning those are for Honeycomb.
Maybe FCs are caused by missing or incompatible libraries.
Thanks to techfrom10!
im on dark v10 rc3 and i cant get clock, gallery, music to work. Camera and market work fine though, do i need to uninstall the old clock gallery and music to get it working?

Nope you do not need to. Somehow other apks work on other ROM versions of SGS. Mine which is running stock XXJVK only has camera working ok.
I hope others will test these and see which apks work for any ROM, may it be stock or custom, and maybe devs here could find out why it works or not.
Running Darkys 9.3 Music works fine, have not tested the others yet.
i got gingerbread.xxjvk, camera works until i change to video, everything else force closes.

Same as mine. As confirmed, these apps are for Honeycomb F/W only. It only goes to show that Google is about to release its proprietary apps for Honeycomb, with new Market interface
I'd be interested to know if there has been any updates to the Google News Weather widget app (genie.apk). I've got version 1.2.02 (RC2(PROD) according to the settings page in the widget, but i've had this since Eclair 2.1 and it was taken out of a Cyanogen ROM for the Nexus.
Now on 2.2.1 and the widget seems to still work, but sometime the offline caching doesn't work as well as it used to on 2.2.
Anyone got a new version of the genie.apk?

Apparently techfrom10 did not see or download it in the test Market. I think Google already abandoned that app as it is not even pre-installed on Nexus S.
Let us just hope that come Honeycomb release, a new better version of geniewidget will also come out. For now it is just MIA for that app.
none of them work on js8
i had music player and it worked fine on js8. and on xxjvk, the camera worked for me. no video, just photo.
thanks i will try...
Thanks for testing guys! I hope some devs could figure out how to fix or circumvent the FCs so we could use it on our phone
Though I am not that hopeful since the source code for those apps is not yet released. Besides any missing libraries, coming from Honeycomb, would be difficult to fix.
On stock JVK,
music, gallery, clock FC on open.
Camera FC when switching to video mode.

We all have almost the same result. Let's wait then for the HC to come out before we can use these goodies
I'm on Goatrip (Jvk) with damiangto's ultimate kernel beta 5
And i've tried all of them but only camera works
The clock widget works but after every reboot it gives me FCs :/

I love Gingerbread on the Pro, and love having it rooted (kudos to P3), but have noticed that its a little trickier to freeze unwanted apps (via Titanium Backup) without stumbling upon system conflicts.
Note - I use Launcher Pro Plus for my launcher app. I also use Handcent for SMS and K9 for all my email (4 gmail/google apps accounts); no MS Exchange
Thus far, the things I have successfully frozen:
Bookmarks Widget
CityID
Email
Email Authenticator
Files
Flickr
Help Center
Home screen tips
LastFM
Messaging
My Verizon Mobile
Myspace
New & Weather
News
NFS Shift
Orkut

Thanks for the list. You've rooted GB on the Pro?

Yes - rooted GB via Team Black Hat
in my experience, freezing the authenticators seems to cause my motorola contacts to force close; e.g. I can't open any contacts. Not sure if skyrock messes anything up but probably check just in case

Agree. I have gone through several iterations arriving at the list that results with no force closes. So far, so good.
I've frozen DLNA as well, but it still seems to show up on my watchdog so I had to rename the apk to get rid of it.

As far as I know, there are 2 apps for DLNA. The first has the obvious name of DLNA but there is a second one where it has a different name but has "dlna" in the service name. Found using SystemApkManager
great list!
I followed this list and everything went great (but I did not freeze anything, I just cut & paste all apps on my SD card), except I lost my Messaging application (duh!) So I put the messaging APK back in the system/app folder and restarted, but the Messaging app still doesn't show in the app drawer. Any ideas? Am I supposed to "ADB Push" it?
Help Anyone?
Update: So I was trying to flash the TBH Gingerbread files via recovery & the flashing was aborted! But when I rebooted I found that my Messaging app has been restored Talk about lucky.

Help！How to ROOT the droid pro
Kudos for the list, and GB on Pro
I too am an avid Gingerbread Boy on Droid Pro. I had a Pro for almost 3 years, running v 2.3.4 (OTA updates from Froyo to GB 2.3.3, then OTW to 2.3.4), but never realized I couldn't root on 2.3.4 so I found a blog by Sarat Marudhuri, "Rooting For Dummies," and was all set to begin following his steps, including flashing back to 2.3.3.
This past Saturday, after a week of thinking my battery was becoming toasted as I couldn't maintain a good 3G signal and the battery kept wearing out in no time because when 3G returned and the Bloatwares all got happy and started up again, I was still avidly pursuing root. Sunday Page Plus had a major server shutdown, both web and phones, and my broker, Prepaid Online, told me all about it, and asked that I keep trying. At 20 minutes before 9 (central), I managed to score on the call in, and hit the "hold circle" with muzak for about 39 minutes, then got a recording stating the office hours, and the office was closed, so try tomorrow. A buddy of mine is manager of a corporate store, and had a Pro that someone had traded in, so he gave it to me. To my surprise, it was pristine in condition, and was still on 2.3.3! Now this evening, I've spent the past 5 hours working through Sarat's blog and yes, I am now officially "ROOTED" although I'm going to stick with the current version and avoid 2.3.4. I used his list to freeze at that Verizon Bloatware, and confirmed his list with your's!
Hats off to XDA-developers for giving us such a great resource to streamline our Android phones!
Anyone know if i can install stock sense apps on AOSP ROMs? If so, has anyone got a link to the apk files. I'm particularly after the contacts app.
You can't get stock sense apps on asop, but you can get alternatives from the market. There are one or two decent t9 dailers in the market. Have a look at them and see how they are. Think one is called ex dailer, and it looks like the contacts app.
sense needs sense framework so not possible to be on aosop....
