[Q] Can i Install MIUI Home to Cyanogenmod 7.2 - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

I just discovered that one MIUI rom release says that i have to manually download miui launcher and put it on somewhere, well its not that, but i saw that it was an apk file so i was just imaging that can i put the apk file over my cm7.2 rom? when i try to install miui home on cm7 it says something like "this is a systemapp, sure you want to replace it?" so does it work? seems like it deletes the adw so i dont want to harm my phone thx

Just install either 360 Launcher or QQLauncher to get a MIUI like launcher on CM - or heck go right ahead and install MIUI ROM

Problems after intstalling Launcher.apk

I thought I would give Fata1ity's hero looking Laucher a shot. I installed Launcher.apk and it works fine, however it's not the look I was going for.
I tried a full wipe and reinstall of my fatai1ity 1.4 rom, the laucher is still there.
I tried copying the Launcher.apk and the Launcher.odex out of the fatality zip file and pushing those over. Didn't change it.
I'm about to try another full wipe and install. Any tips of how to revert back to the google launcher?
Argggg this is so frustrating. I have now tried wiping the phone and installing a non-Hero rom Cyanm 4.0.1. The launcher is now the google launcher.
I wipe again and install the Fataility 1.4 and the launcher is back to the one I pushed over! How that can be.
I gave up on Fata1ity't and have switched to a plain-jane Cyan 4.0.1 because of this :-( I couldn't figure out any way to get rid of the Launcher.apk
The one thing I haven't tried yet was installing a different Hero rom. I can't fathom why it comes back when I install Fatality.
Double post, sorry.

Live Wallpapers - How to

See here for Live Wallapers.
Not in Sense yet

As far as I can see, Live Wallpapers are not going to work until someone bakes a custom rom. The Live wallpaper picker just force closes on selection. So, unless I failed at installing the live wallpapers and the picker...

What launcher are you using? Did you try ADW or Launcher Pro? did you also load livewallpapers.apk?
I loaded livewallpapers.apk and the livewallapaerspicker.apk
I tried with Sense and sweeterhome
But I think I need to load the .SO files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837
But I have to find a different SD card because I can't get into recovery mode with my 8gb sd card.
(I left my 2gb at home)
ADW gave me the same problem.
I was able to adb remount since I pushed your clean update
But now I am getting "out of memory" when I try to push the SO files.
So I guess I will have to do the push in restore mode.

Let me know if you can figure out a way to get it running in Sense. I still haven't gotten my Aria (due to show up on Monday), but the lack of wallpapers is the one thing I was disappointed with.
Well I have live wallpapers working on my aria right now in alternate launchers like adw and launcher pro.
Pulled the files from a custom rom that adds live wallpapers for legend then rebuilt them into a rom I'm working on stripped of at&t crap. Did not replace the rosie apk since at this time tha just crashed htc.launcher.
This is a fun little phone.

Hey Bob, did you find a way to fix the non-market apps toggle in settings? I am working on a modified spare parts type deal to do that now, but if you already have a fix, I am all ears. Funny, AT&T didn't like the name Liberty. How fitting that they chose not to use it.
we really should open an IRC channel
The real question is there a way to do Live Wallpapers & Sense at the same time.
I know I am being picky, but I want my tech the way I want my tech.

There is a way since the rom i stole the stuff from was for the legend and Sense its just the version of sense that was in the rom is not compatible with our rom.
I havent even started looking into the Sense APK file yet but figure with live wallpapers working correctly i just got to figure out how to disable normal wallpapers in sense to make them work.

I havent worked at all on the market toggle, i figure since we can sideload the settings.db file and it works its very low on my care list. All i worked on today was stripping out what i didnt like and trying to make a nice clean rom that had all the default files i wanted in it (google voice, pandora, etc..). Just happened to also play with the live wallpapers and found it worked on the way home when i tried a new launcher.

If you make a zipfile of the livewallpaper files and post them, I'd appreciate it.

Yes, Please and Thank You
Yeah all the files are on my work machine so I will do that in a bit later. Will put it into a zip able to be recovered into an existing rooted aria so anyone can add them.

Update file for adding LWP to Aria
6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI
* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *
1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod
4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)
5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)
6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard
6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system
8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options
*Issues*
The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.
*Files*
Clean install of the LWP packages
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages
Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.
Thanks! I just flashed it and it works great. There's Absolutely no loss with performance with it either.

* if this file downloads under a different name just rename it to aria-lwp.zip, first time using Mediafire *
Ok lets see if this works =)
1.) Put the aria-lwp.zip file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod using the rooting methods in the how to root your aria thread
3.) Go to the Partitions Menu and select the first option (mount /system)
4.) Go back to the main menu and choose to install a zip file
5.) Choose the option to install a zip from the SD Card
6.) Click on the aria-lwp.zip file
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system.
8.) Upon reboot the home menu should pop up asking you to choose which home menu to launch. Choose the LauncherPro option.
9.) Go into the wallpaper options and choose your live wallpaper, it should work with no issues.
10.) Set up your new launcher, refer to any Launcher Pro threads for more info on this nice replacement launcher.
At anytime you can use the home switcher program to go back to the HTC Sense launcher if you want to use that instead. Same with setting up which launcher is used by default when you press the home button.
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.

Any chance we'll ever get this working in Sense?
Well, that didn't work.
I am still getting force quit
I might needs to do a clean flash.
Ok, I got stock to run, but I also want to get rid of the lockscreen and make it default as well. Any ideas?
Ok, reflashed with the clean install and it worked.

Installing themes

I can't figure out how to install a theme for 2.2 sense UI, currently running nrgy android build wm Rom, with mattc Leo+sense 1.5b. ROM manager doesn't work..any ideas
What files do you have for the new theme?
Have u tried adw, gde, or launcher pro from the market?. Rom manager wont work because it uses clockwork recovery for native android devices. Also, try out metamorph from the market.
Sent from Android HD2 via XDA app
Same here, I have metamorph and it says that the files are invalid or not compatible.
Metamorph gives me invalid file error on every theme I try
metamorph only wor4ks on cm roms I thought...
could be a huge reason why it doesn't work for you
I have a .zip with what I assume are the appropriate files. It's the detoxblue2.2 theme

How to install themes

Install Trebuchet in Oxygen OS?

Has anyone been able to install trebuchet on oxygen os? it gives me error!
The problem is, that you canĀ“t simply install an systemapp to your phone.
But there is an OpenSource Branch of the Launcher which enables Trebuchet for all the none Cyanogen OS devices:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kaneoriley.cyanogenport.launcher3
I have tried it the whole day and I can say, I have my favorite OPO Launcher back!
