Just wondering if there is a free eclair launcher? There is one in the play store but its not free. I tried pushing one from another rom but it didn't work.

My mistake...
Really I wasn't asking for a cracked or pirated app. Just wondering if their was either a way to make a stock eclair launcher work and/or a third party launcher that will work. Please do not assume I was asking to steal anyone's work.

For the record I do not pirate so I am slightly insulted that you would come to such a conclusion.

Well your OP does sound like you're looking for the free or should I say... cracked eclair launcher...

I was asking for an alternative, I am sorry maybe I should have specified. Take for instance I know of three gingerbread launcher in the play store 2 are free where as the other charges $2.00. I also should have made a seperate question is there a way to make a stock aosp launcher compatible with gingerbread miui? It was my fault for not wording my question properly.

I've just closed the report. Just to clarify, I share the OP point of view, about he is asking for a free alternative rather than a cracked version.
Thanks to both users who enforced the forum rules compliance, but I think this is just a misunderstanding
Glad that got cleared up. I just looked around on Google for awhile and couldn't find any free, non-pirated eclair style launchers. Looks like you might need to shell out the $2.
Why doesn't the launcher2 from a 2.1 Rom for a different device (found in /system/app) work
--sent from my glacier.
Alright sorry OP, my mistake...
Have you tried taking out the eclair launcher from a eclair ROM (if you can even find one...) And installing it as a system app? Make sure permissions are set to rw r r
Also...out of curiosity... Why eclair lol

Maybe he picked up a phone running eclair and said, "Hey, that's a nice launcher." I've done that before. Not with eclair specifically, but the same principal applies.

Honestly just wanted to go old school lol. Paying $2 isn't a big deal its just well it's not like I plan on using it that often or for that long. I like to change my themes/launcher often. One of the reasons why I love Android over other OS's
About pushing the launcher from a previous rom and pushing it to the system/apps via root browser and adjusted the permissions and it didn't work. I didn't try to use adb..up until recently I didn't have adb on my computer until a couple if months, so I am still very new to it.

It is in the devolopment forum but here is the link. http://files.androidspin.com/downloa...5.1_signed.zip
And the reason you dont have the market with CM is you need to download and install Gapps.zip for all CM roms. They are not included.
Not really sure why everyone seems to swear by iced glacier on here (other than its been out Longest) but I personally enjoy the sense ROMs provided by evil and gorilla a lot. The look of true HTC sense is beautiful by itself, though there are a lot of ways to theme them to your own liking. Plus, you get your HTC widgets by default, as well as other awesome HTC services. Plus, if speed is your thing, both can be overclocked. Battery life is good in both.
Anyhow, that's my two cents. Everyone has theit own opinions on what ROMs are best, and that's mine.

I dont swear by Ice Glacier. It is a good rom, but the others you mentioned are very good also. It is really about what you like personally. That is the great thing about Android and a rooted phone. You can check them all out and then decide what you like. All of them can be themed and every one can be overclocked for speed. Including Ice Glacier.

I'm using royalginger 1.4.1 and it is great. Smooth and great battery life plus wifi calling works. Atleast I'm pretty sure it does lol. But if your someone who wants a larger group of themes and help I may go with cm7 both are gingerbread just cm7 is older and more broadly tested and themed. It all depends on what you want, gingerbread or sense. Also we (teamroyal) have a honeycomb Rom but its a pre alpha, no phone app and pretty sluggish but its great if you want to just play around for awhile.
Hope that helps

I wanted to know who took down the mt4g 3.0 fusion rom. It was up for like a couple of hours and now its gone. Did anyone get to download it and the bug fixes for it? If so pleassssssse repost. This the rom I've been waiting for because its the first one that actually has the working lockscreen and has all the widgets. So please if you were able to download everything, please repost, or better yet, could the people who created the rom please put it back up because this is by far the best experience of sense 3.0 for the mt4g. Thank you so much for your hard work.
i noticed it got taken down quick also. i was just about to try it out lol
Wow I been looking for it ever since I got home.. and here I thought it was just me not looking right.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Most likely is was a violation of TOS of posting ROMs on XDA.
The Mods around here do not remove stuff unless it's a direct violation
That rom belongs to a dev that did not want it this to be posted here at XDA
Not that they didn't want it posted on here. The dev that created that rom was banned due to differing philosophies between the forum managers and him. so now any of his work is not allowed on xda.
There's already a version of the fusion 3.0/3d up from evil d so just go ahead and use that one.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
There's definitely a nice selection of Kernels and ROM's available, take a look at the development section, read through some of the features of the different ones available, and see if you find one you'd like to try.
In the end, whether you keep the phone or return it for a Nexus, is all up to you... none of us can really answer this for you, because we all have different wants and needs in our phones.
And fwiw, software side of this phone can be easily modified/customized, so if you're happy with the hardware, then perhaps you should look into the software customization.

Well the kernel has tweaks in it that can save battery... I'd go with syndicate rom frozen with the genocide 1.1 kernel... pretty good combo for me, I can have my screen on for about 4hrs and I'm sure if you use the phone less you can get a few days out of it

A good tip to remember...if you do go the custom ROM route, some have no journaling. If you choose one of those, make sure you power down phone completely and don't let battery die or you will get force closes out the arse. If this my be an issue for you, get a ROM with journal on or flash the journal on mod after flashing the ROM.

Go with SyndicateROM Frozen. The 1.1 version needs updating ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680 ) on the ClockworkMod. The 1.2 version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131544 ) requires the latest ClockworkMod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115999 ). You need to flash modem to EC05 with Odin.
What I did was flashing modem to EC05, put the first CWM on the phone, then installed SynROM Frozen 1.1. After that, I updated the CWM, then updated to 1.2. I think the 1.2 is not full package (?) and upgrade from the 1.1 (?). Rodderik will update the 1.2 version with latest CWM. You can either wait for that update or continue with the steps that I did toward the 1.2 version.
Edit - SynROM Frozen 1.1 comes with ClockworkMod included. When you get it installed, just update the ClockworkMod (what I did was using the flash method with Odin) then upgrade to 1.2 version.

You had it partially right. Hardware is paramount simply because you can replace the software with better software but you can't replace what drives it. Root your phone with the new purple CWM and then give the Syndicate rom a try. What kernel you choose for it depends on your phone since they each take to certain kernels differently. I am personally using the second to last version of the Genocide kernel and voltage control with great results.
Think of the rom as a car's body that you can choose to option and the kernel as its engine.
I prefer Go Launcher over Launcher Pro and Handcent over all the others available.
If you want incredible battery life download an app called DataSwitch by TomatoX.
Make sure to enable journaling too.

Hold your finger on the right in portrait mode to jump through letters, than if, lets say you know alot of T's when u get to T, slide your finger to the left and you can sort by the second letter (feel free to say thanks). If your in to facebook the buddies now and whatever other things are built in to the tw launcher (though if u change launchers you lose those widgets) activities in contacts links your fb friends, the... Does... And u can... With... And so on and so on and so on... theres alot to learn that u wrong in a few days... I've had mine since release day and I just found out...
