I would like to start a thread that can be a hub for the new 2.1 .APK files that are usable on the Eris.
I have tried the current live wallpapers and will install but they are not visible.
Here is a link to the WeatherGenie from Nexus 1. http://download887.mediafire.com/iwj7jx90ftvg/xmtwizbmm3m/GenieWidget.apk
Here is the same app but transparent, you need to uninstall the regular one for it to work. http://sites.google.com/site/droidlife3/home/GenieWidget-transparent.apk?attredirects=0
Add anything to this list you know will work.
Please test before you post the .apk
Some more interesting APK from the Desire we could use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642189 From what I am seeing there maybe the update copy and paste included.

Are these tested? Please only tested .apks that we know will work on the Eris. Thank You!
I tested the gallery app. It works, unless you tilt the phone horizontal, then the screen goes crazy until you tilt back vertically.
I tested the music app. It works fine.
I installed and ran the clock app, I didn't like it as much as the HTC clock app, so I uninstalled it (it seemed to work fine)
I did not try either launcher.
I believe these are the extra HTC widgets we can't directly D/L fromthe HTC widget placer thingy.

I think that is it.
I got battery and dice in the marketplace 2.1 just like I did in 1.5.
Thought I would make it easy.

This one definitely does not work. Causes FC loop which requires some Home-button-timing to get out of.

This works, but is very slow, and breaks in landscape mode. (Not FC-breaks, but massive-distortion-breaks.

Again, FC loop. No leads on the cause, I'll fire up ADB later and try to track this down.
I posted this in the wrong spot sorry. Do not post in here but instead I will start one in the correct section. Closed.

Launcher2 works perfectly for me, on my Eris, but mine is leaked 2.1, so that might be the reason.
Most people are running the "leaked" 2.1 rom on this forum and seem to not have it working... Me included, did you do anything to get it to load? and where did you DL it from?
@Allow:
how are you testing it?
I ask because I too have installed the leaked 2.1 (as has everyone who has 2.1 on an Eris) and I get the FC loop when I click the home button and choose to use Launcher for the action.

i call shanningans..
OR maybe im completely wrong here and you may very well be that 1%.
got pics to prove you have it working?
I am also getting the looping and I am running 2.1.
Omg. People pease try reading around. Launcher2 will not load. The guy that said that is either a newbie that doesn't know what launcher2 is or just likes drama. Of course with screenshot plus video I will apologize. But I have logcats from trying to load launcher2 that looks for lib files we can't add with out root

With a total of 4 post in XDA I am going to have to say that the guy is both but then again I have been surprised before maybe hes discovered how to root the the Eris
The music app is the only one that fully works and it's not much better than the leaked 2.1 eris' music app. The clock wont do fahrenheit or bring up my location at all. This thread is a complete fail.
Does this device have a way to do a screen copy? The Asus Transformer had it's own built in app to do a screen copy. Am I missing a method to do that on this device? I tried loading the ASUS app. I was able to load it but there was no configuration option in settings to configure it so it didn't work.
There's an app called Shoot Me but I think it needs Root, not sure if there are any others that don't need it though.

Neither ShootMe nor drocap2 worked for me. ScreenshotER seems to work well, you have to pay for the full version though, the demo version has a large watermark on your pictures.

Thanks. Screenshot ER seems to be the best of all of them although it needs root (which I have).
The only thing t hat annoys me is that a utility like this should be "standard" in the HC O/S. The one included with my (former) Asus Transformer was nice and simple. But for a $1.49 I can live with Screenshot ER.
Hi Guys,
Just made the switch from my old Xperia x1 to an unlocked G2 that I found on ebay. Rooted it within a minute of it arriving and now wondering what rom to load. I really want the OTA 2.3.4 update but also want it rooted so think i'll wait on that. I also read that some ROMs have buggy landscape modes. Can anyone recommend one that fully works in landscape mode. I got the phone becuase I like the keyboard so would be annoying if the rom didnt support landscape very well.
Thanks
Darren
Just as an FYI there's a pre-rooted version of the OTA that just came out yesterday. There aren't a ton of testers but it seems to be working.
I haven't had a ton of chances to play with all the Sense offerings (don't really care for Sense) but the versions of Virtuous Unity have had working landscape. Many times just using a non-stock launcher can fix landscape issues. Launcher Pro and ADW have always rotated properly for me.

I've been using it the past day and it works great in landscape. Also any stock roms/cm7 work well with landscape, miui roms don't and i find sense roms too slow switching to landscape.
Hi sorry coming back on this again.
If I flash a rom, say the Vision sense 3.0 that doesnt support landscape yet. Does it just mean that only the sense UI wont rotate on keyboard pullout and that apps like messaging, email, browser etc will 'still' rotate and keyboard function fine. Or does all that stuff stop rotating as well?
Thanks
Hey guys,
So I recieved the new 3.2 update today on my US Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 and there's a few changes that I have already noticed:
1. Samsumg removed the bouncy effect (similar to the one the was in Apple devices) that was in the browser, settings menu, Android Market, and anything that scrolled and has replaced the effect with the normal Android effect of a blue highlight that gets bigger as you try to scroll more at the end of the page (Possibly has to do with Samsung vs. Apple court case?)
2. Now when you're watching a video on youtbe and using full screen the bottom bar is fully gone and there isn't that random line that was there before !
3. The menu button looks a bit different in the Android Market and Youtube app, almost bolded or popped out (no new Android market btw. It's the same old one so we still don't have access to the music store from the Android Market).
4. Now when you click on a contact icon, when the list of all possible things of contacting them (Google Voice, Google Maps for directions, Gmail, Twitter, etc) shows up entirely and you don't have to scroll left and right).
5. QuickOffice HD seems to have been updated (but not to the newest 5.0 version that is on the Android Market). The icon has also changed and now it says "Pro" and "HD" on it (which is what the Android Market version icon is like)
6. Browser seems a bit faster but I'm not sure about that. And the tablet in general feels overall faster.
Anything else that you guys have noticed? (Besides the button that changes app screen sizes that normally comes with 3.2)
Aboutebug settings changes now seems to stick.
all share is available.
Web browser seems alot snappier. App drawer and pages scroll smoother aswell.
Good morning all!
I'm glad that you got the update on your Tabs. Can I ask you what the better if I fill up its batteries and then update it, or if I plug it in and until filling up I'm updating? Did you notice any problems while updating? Is this update deleted anything from your device? Or everything stayed the same?
There's a little icon next to the clock to turn an app into full screen
This update was for the WIFI version only right?
Allshare is present now
does the screen shout button function can be changed? , like in galaxy tab 7.7 its function can be changed and also the mini apps can be edited or even removed in the 7.7 ?
how is there no updated market YET??
The browser definitely is faster.
Has anyone had issues with home screen auto rotate lag? I updated to 3.2 and it now takes 2 - 3 seconds to rotate. With 3.1 it was almost instantaneous. I also tried the widespread fix by long pressing the home screen and choosing a section other than add widget with no results. This is very frustrating.

Yes, it is especially noticeable when you turn your tab 180 degrees in one motion. ( top becomes bottom)
OK, so I decided to change my wallpaper from a static image to a live wallpaper and the rotation improved immensely. That is so counter-intuitive, but see if you can re-create it.

The Market update comes with Android 3.2.1.
I just noticed that Swipe is present after 3.2 update. Was it present before 3.2?

Yes. It was present in the Touchwiz 3.1 update
Dice player compatibility, anyone? 3.2 wifi user reported diceplayer broke in this ver. I'm on 3.2 3g and it fixed video playback with diceplayer. I was having issues with 3.1 previously.
Id like to add.
Previously on 3.1, 180 degrees rotate will make a 90 + 90 rotation
With 3.2,it fades out and inverts the screen, and fades back in.
Hope this information is useful.
Agreed with all of the above.
However, I get a lot of gapps Force Closes. Can anyone suggest anything besides a full wipe?
I bought the game on my Thunderbolt, then used Appsharer to send the APK to my Xoom (since it doesn't show up in the Market on the Xoom). It will show the EA logo (in landscape) and then I get a message that says "your device is not authorized" or something like that and it closes. So, I tried a "non-market" version of the same game (both the same version - 1.1.35), and it will play, but only in portrait mode. Is there a way to just edit the APK of the game that I actually purchased so that it doesn't quit on my Xoom? I hope this isn't inappropriate to ask, I'm not looking for help with a warez copy or something like that, I just want to be able to play it on both of my devices. I know that supposedly it works on the Transformer...
Dead Space works fine on Xoom 3.2 but if you are running ICS, you will got potrait mode issue!
i run dead space just fine. Ea has it listed to not working for xoom but works fine in landscape for me.

Are you running ICS or Honeycomb?
Running honeycomb, haven't tried it on ICS yet.
Every where I have looked says that no one can get Dead Space to work properly on ICS. I guess we are going to have to wait for EA to release an update.
Runs alright in landscape on kang
They need to update so we can play it on ICS!!
I dont know if this matter but i have the game running fine on my galaxy nexus and the asus transformer just fine.
