I'm looking for a Sense themed keyboard .apk to sideload into my Nook. I really don't like the stock keyboard anymore with the Nook and I had a custom keyboard on my old HTC Hero a while back. Anyone know of one or anyone use another keyboard that they can recommend to me? I looked around but didn't see anything on the forums. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, for some reason it won't let me delete this. I'll move it to Q & A so if the MOD wants to delete it, that's fine.
You could just search for a sense theme in the play store, or find a theme for a third party keyboard like GO keyboard

Would it be possible for anyone to post the stock android dialer found on Nexus One?
Thx.
Hopefully the right one.
I think thats the HTC dialer isnt it?
Nope, It's from a Nexus dump i believe.
Blue phone icon, same as Nexus.
Thx, will try later.
Sadly, it doesn't work. It says phone.android.com not found.
You just wanna have the Icon? Serach for "SMS unread count" App in the Market. It has the icons for gmail sms and phone + widget support witht he little iphone like counters etc. you know?
Its a good App!
greets
That is the 2.1 update1 stock phone/dialer app from Nexus. I doubt you can install it to a stock ROM, maybe even a mod ROM.
Like nodq said, if you just want the icon, use something from the market.

I don't need the icon, this would be pretty silly, I wanted to use the dialer, because I like it better than the Sense one. I know DailerOne is similar, but still to confusing, with all the swyping gestures.
Ahh, then I think the only way to get that is either play around with the file and make it compatible, or flash a ROM with it.
Don't like DialerOne either, its too much effort just to find contacts.

First of all, I apologise if this is meant to go in general, so mods can move it, and also if this has been asked before.
Anyway, I can't install Google Sky Maps, comes up with 'Unknown Error -18' and I can install Sense note widget either.
The thing that confuses me more is that I can install any app from CM6/Vanilla FroYo rom (Contacts, Car Home, Home Tips (br0 tips as it is on CM6) and even the CyanogenMod settings. Granted, I can only get to the CM settings via bettercut, and I don't think that most/any work, but still, its strange I can install it at all, right?
Just wondering if anyone has the reason for the strange behaviour.
Cheers

Well i know for a fact that the HTC Widgets like notes will not install on even a 2.1 eclair rom so that's why they still don't install on 2.2.
So its within the rom that allows the widget? I believe its included in LeeDroid.

I remember using the HTC keyboard for my OG Droid. Can you use the HTC keyboard, say from the Incredible on the DX? I can't remember where to d/l it from, I think it was on XDA. Is anyone using the HTC_IME keyboard on the DX?
I tried getting it from here: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/07/22/download-htc-ime-keyboard-for-droid-x/
The htc_ime keyboard installs but wont open, I get FC errors? Anyone know how to properly install it? I just used astro to install the apk, and went into the my phones settings and clicked on this keyboard. When I go to write a text or enter a url in the browser, etc. I get a keyboard FC?
Same here... I don't think it's been further developed

I do not own a Kindle Fire yet I understand that Kindle Fire technically runs 2.3. Since sideloading is good to go, has anybody tried running an alternate home screen launcher? I know it won't look at good as a tablet running honeycomb, but at least it will have more tablet look. My wife is on the fence about getting either an Acer A100 or this Kindle Fire. Oh and she is not computer literate and thinks that root is the part of the tree that resides under the ground. Thanks everybody!
I was able to load Go launcher on mine - it looks nice.
My wife is also technically challenged - that said, it's technically her device, she preferred the native launcher - I do too.
Why? For her the ease of 'click to launch' all in one place rather than scrolling through screens.
Fwiw, my kids were able to turn on the device and navigate - the out-of-the-box carousel launcher is quite intuitive.
I found it (native launcher) launched the apps faster, actually - although ymmv - hence my preference for the native launcher.
Interesting, thank you for your time and input regarding this matter. I probably will download the app that will help my wife switch between go launcher and the native launcher app for the kindle. I'm running go Launcher on my SGS II so she should have zero issues customizing it to her likings.
Thanks again for your assistance!
You bet! Glad to help.

I tried Go Launcher, but didn't like it that much. Having used ADW on my Droid for a long time I decided to try it out, and I have to say I much prefer it.
I even have Beautiful Widgets running on it too.
However, a couple of problems I've seen.
1. I can't create folders?
2. There is no GeoLocate (even for WiFi), so I can't get the weather working. Anyone get this working or have any tips?
Passing on a little tip for those that haven't rooted and don't have the Android Market running. Beautiful Widgets requires the Market for themes/skins etc. What I've found is that if I download to my phone, and then copy the contents of /data/beautifulwidgets/scskins, skins and wskins to my Kindle, I am able to select the widgets.
ADW EX works great.
Launcher pro keeps FC.
The only two I have tried.
I just bought the Fire today and it is seriously a tiny tablet without a camera. Pretty cool.
I'm using adw.ex without issue. Only complaint is that you have to.switch back to the kindle interface to browse your books and magazines and custom desktop backgrounds revert to kindle backgrounds after screen unlock.

deleted. sorry
VTLauncher also nothing but FC unfortunately.

Am I the only one who seems to love the Amazon backgrounds, and even more so that they change? I for one will try and keep them if we ever get a custom ROM.
With ADW Launcher, and an almost opaque Beautiful Widget Super Clock widget, mine looks fantastic!

In the Beautiful Weather setting, there is a section for location settings. In this section, you can toggle geolocation and manually search for a location. I got it working fine on my Fire with Launcher Pro.

Yep, I got that a short while after posting. I should have posted as much, but as you did, you get the thanks!
Now if only someone could figure out the geolocate stuff...
Zeam Launcher doesn't work for me.
Force Closes.
Tried several different versions.
Anyone get it working?
Wish I could remember which app I was playing with but I don't. The important part that I want to share was that it showed that the Fire internal settings showed that there is a GPS and it's on. Since there really isn't one perhaps that's why apps are having troubles. They query the OS and it's says there is an active GPS yet the data returned from the get GPS location call is worthless so the app gets confused. Whichever app it was that showed the setting also had the ability to turn GPS off. Can't help but wonder if that'd make a difference.

I'm getting force closes with ADW EX. I can't seem to remove it either. Could someone post the trick to remove this application?
EDIT: I got ADW removed, maybe I was using an old version or something.
EDIT 2: I got a later version of ADW to work. The only issue so far is getting the "Kindle" application to execute.
Thanks
YMark, same here - I have ADW running fine, yet the book reader app is not working. Maybe fix permissions and reboot?

If LP is crashing for you, convert it to a system app in titanium backup and reboot. Don't select LP as your default launcher until you are sure it won't crash it you'll end up in a loop and have to adb to remove LP. Ask me how i know

1. I set thumb keyboard as default keyboard but after restarting nook color the keyboard defaults to stock one. I tried swiftkey but having same problem. Please help, it is very annoying it select the keyboard everytime I reboot the device.
2. Another prob is I cannot get some widgets working.They install correctly but do not show up in the add widget menu. Btw, I currently use nemus launcher.
Few widgets that don't work are sense analog by factory widgets, minimalist text widget, and a few other battery level indicatiing widgets.
Is it only me or anyone else having the problem?
I am running cm 7.2 from sd.
No rep
At least someone tell me if minimalist text widget or sense analog is working on cm 7.2 or not?
So that i can consider reinstalling the rom or try another rom.

First thing I would try is using a different launcher... see if that is your issue... I'm sure not many use the launcher you are, so it is hard for us to provide feedback/information.

I personally don't use any of those widgets... but I know others use minimilistic text without issue... you might want to fix permissions before you resort to a clean install.
Thanks I will try it

You probably have those Widgets installed to SD. Widgets do not work if installed to SD. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, and choose the app and see if on SD. If it is, choose move to phone.
You might see if those keyboards are also on SD.

I suggest you install CM10 Beta. It is far superior to 7.2 now. I'm using SwiftKey and can report excellent performance. My signature shows my Nook's configuration.

Thanks leapinlar it worked after moving it to phone.
Do I have to do this every time? Or is there any way to make apps to install on phone by default.
