What is that launcher you're talking about? Can't get it clearly
The default defy+ launcher is integrated into motoblur isn't it?
I'm no developer but I thought it was.
yes, i am talking about default launcher that come with motoblur in defy+.
The launcher relies on the motoblur framework, and will not work on non-blur roms.
We could maybe port it like the blur 3D launcher, I don't know. It might even involve re-building the launcher from scratch. Maybe we need to port the blur-framework to custom roms instead. m11kkaa found a Chinese MIUI rom with motoblur. I didn't really look into it, but maybe we could port it to cm7 Anyway, the thread is dead now.

Hello,
is it possible to install the lockscreen from sense 3.0 with the weather and the shortcut apps on aonther rom? like for example the new gingerbread rom (rooted one)
Thnx
There are a few roms available that are based on sense 2.1 but have sense 3 apps and widgets. Including the lockscreen.
I would imagine that there will be similar roms available that are based on the gingerbread DZ release but with sense 3.0 goodies coming out in the next few weeks. Just give it time.
But it is not possible to just install the lockscreen. Not very easily anyway. I'd imagine it has something to do with frameworks

Yea the fact that you would be pulling the sense lockscreen and trying to apply it to an AOSP base would probably mess things up.

You can install it on the sense 2.1 based roms, like the new desire z release.
Apply the lockscreen and 2 required weather patches from Seo's thread, and then the rotating rosie + menu fix from Siulmagics insertcoin thread.
All works for me.

Hey all,
I've been dying to have a fantastic essentially stock (real) gingerbread ROM for the G2. While the OTA update is pretty good, it still is missing a few key aspects of what gingerbread should be - blinking LED notifications, the CRT screen turning off effect, a bunch of other stuff. I just recently threw android onto my mother's HD2 Leo, and put this ROM on there. Stock, obviously rooted, with a bunch of awesome features that you can see in the link there. It is FANTASTIC. Probably the best ROM I have ever dealt with.
I guess what I am looking for is a Gingerbread AOSP stock that is currently on the Nexus One - (2.3.5 Gingerbread)
I would love to see a rom identical to this on the G2! Does anyone know of a rom available for the G2 like this?
Or, even better, would someone like to help me figure out how to port this ROM to the g2?
Cheers all

You could try CyanogenMod 7.1-RC1, it has all the features you said you wanted. It does use ADW.launcher, but you can install the stock launcher by following the instructions here.
CM is actually pretty good - my issue is that the look, feel, and operation is nothing like stock gingerbread! I really want something like the stock AOSP Gingerbread Nexus One rom.
EDIT - Hey! One hundred posts!
Cm 7.1 isn't 2.3.5. U need to install the latest nightly. Have a new rom to install every morning is not only exciting, u get new features as they are implemented. What are u talking about CM not being like stock ginger? It IS aosp gingerbread. The true android with zero carrier additions or overlays. You must be confused as to what stock ginger is. Also, get rid of adw the second you install ginger. Adw is a piece of garbage that brings CM WAY down. First thing I always do is search gingerbread launcher in the market and install the real stock ginger launcher. Then your experience will be perfect

Ah - I think that adw launcher is what turned me off of it! I'll give it a go there.
Use the stock launcher, and CM7 is exactly what you want.

This. I've been running a stock GB launcher on CM7 for months now. Check the thread in my sig for it.
I used cyanogen's latest nightly (2.3.5) then xboarder56's converter. Works like a charm!
Hey Everyone,
I have a rooted desire z with an insert coin rom installed.
I want to mess around with ROM Manager. When I go to perform the 1st step, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it asks me to confirm phone model.
Options are HTC Desire HD and HTC G2. I would assume I want to use the G2 as this is pretty much the G2.
My phone was originally Bell Mobility.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks.
Yip choose the HTC G2
thanks!...now to decide what rom to try.

Choose whatever you want. But remember there are more options than show up in ROM manager. You can download from the dev section too
Also, ALWAYS back up in recovery before flashing. Save yourself a lot of headaches.
Dont limited yourself to what can be downloaded through rom manager, head to the developers section here and read up on the different flavoured roms

And recoveries lol, 4EXT is actually pretty damn cool, and has more features than cwmr, and it's from the same creator I believe
This is only my 3rd adnroid, 2nd i've rooted.
The 1st was a Rogers Dream so I was limited to CM6 really.
One thing I wonder on the desire z is do I need to flash a different kernel? I would guess no since the insert coin rom I am running is Gingerbread 2.3.4 the kernel would be fine for something like CM7.1.
Anyone running CM 7.1 on a desire z? how is it?

When you install a new ROM (like cm7) it installs a new kernel with it. FWIW the CM7 stock kernel is amazing.
There are thousands of people running CM7 on the Vision. Head over to the 7.1 thread and see what people are saying. Its worth a try. I like it.
If I go with CM7.1, any way to get a good looking sense clock/weather widget? The ones on market suck to put it simply....
The onlything I like about sense really is that widget...

Different developer, but 4EXT is based on CWM.
I guess I could just use Launcher Pro instead of ADW and then buy the Sense Widget for $1.50...
P.S
+1 to 4EXT recovery,that is the absolute best recovery for your phone IMHO

Well, tried CM 7.1...compared to InsertCoin I was running it is pretty weak...the insert coin is far better as far as stability...as soon as I opened market it crashed, settings, crash....etc...
Nandroid restore to insertcoin and smiles again!

hmmm.... so? what ROM should i download? CM7? or InsertCoin? what do you recommend guys?
Why don't you just try yourself? Would take much less time than reading about personal preferences of people
I never tried CM and probably won't in a visible timeframe, because I chose HTC over Samsung because of Sense (and the fact that my operator had the DZ dirt cheap compared to others ).

I prefer InserCoin. More complete for the device. CM7.1 is okay...but like the last person said, sense is why some ppl like htc...buy htc...etc.
It is all personal preference, but from what I have found so far...sense roms, insertcoin included are much nicer on the device...
I've recently bought a defy, but the stock rom sucks. I've found many roms like (CM, MIUI, Defy+, etc) but I don't know which one is better in terms of performance and stability, any suggestions ? thanks.

RE
I am currently very happy with MIUI again (btw, there a different versions of MIUI, e.g. the great Galnet MIUI), but I like to change my ROM once in a while and I have tried MIUI, CM7 and the Defy+ ROM (incl. some videos)
Defy+ ROM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOSQ0mbMMQk
CM7.1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxrRBxfnv6
MIUI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPRthosV80U
In my opinion MIUI looks best, has great theme support, a lot of nice built in apps and runs very stable now.
CM7 has many nice little tweaks in a custom settings menu and is very close to stock Android, also supports themes, although with less options.
The Defy+ ROM is very stable and gives you Gingerbread (of course all three ROMs are based on Android 2.3.x) with Motoblur (far improved over the old one on the Defy, the thing I loved most about it was the screen rotation animation), but of course there are less tweaks (no notification bar toggles, no themes).

You can flash a new official firmware on your Defy (withRSDlite on your PC) from this list http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy , if you want to update to Froyo manually.
If you want the official 2.3 by Motorola, take a look at this thread: http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy *edit* or maybe even better this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
Or you install a Custom ROM (also based on Gingerbread but not official), remember there is always a tiny risk, what you get is a newer Android version with some improvements (some apps need 2.2 or higher, also Adobe flash in tue browser), possibly more speed and if you install a Custom ROM, more tweaks and options and a redesigned UI.
The UK or other versions as well as the other ROMs (these probably even a bit better) should work well in every part of the world, if your reception is bad, you can switch the baseband with the Defy baseband switcher.
using CM7. Working great for me.. Games are running very smoothly
and battery life is decent.
Thanks everyone, I will install CM7.1 once I have enough free time

MsGinger 2.1 is definitely the best 4 me. GUI is very nice, I love Motorola`s icon work, launcher, fonts etc.
Apps and games are running fine with no lag, and when you freeze the apps you don`t need it works like a charm. Also battery life seems to be the best from that ROM.
CM7 is also good but it lag`s sometimes especialy in some games which runs well in MsGinger 2.1
I tried cm7, ms2ginger, defy+ mod and now back to cm7.1.0-11. In terms of performance cm7 rules. For a starter I recommends cm7.1.0-11 today.

walter79 is still working, so this version looks and works very fine
i've been using cm7, wajkiui, miui...
and here some feedback...
cm7 = visual like the retail version, stable (but sometimes i got FC), it's launcher is not good .. but you can replace it for another one.
miui = great visual, seems like iOS, all apps shortcuts are visible in the homescreen (without menus for them), sometimes i also got FC, reboots...
wajkiui = cm7 and miui mixed, the best custom rom i've tried, very stable, i didn't get any fc yet, the wajkiui's launcher, for me, is the best! screen transitions are very smooth, without delays.. highly recommended!
Hey guys,
is there an ICS-theme for the Aura-ROM available? I tried to flash the DarkSide-ICS-Theme, but this messed some text-strings up (like the fingerprint-sensor said "Copy" instead of roll over your finger, please...)
Any suggestions are appreciated!
check out the market. there are a few ICS themes there.
Thanks for the tipp, but I wanted the top-infobar to look ICS-like. Didn't find any themes, that could do that. Any ideas?
I mean the notification-bar, to be exact
adw launcher both free and paid have ics themes
Aura is Blur themed rom. IMO, if u want an ICS theme, why not try flashing a CM7 rom with ICS theme???
