This is awesome. Hopefully this will be tweaked to be more stable.

Where can I find a dump of this? I want that "video editor" app.

I thought this was going to be lame like the Galaxy S launcher, but it actually looks pretty cool. I might try this out if someone gets it stable.

Has anyone tried this for the HTC Incredible yet?

LG Home force closes on moto droid. The home selector works well though.

Same!
I don't think I'll try this though, I'd love it if launcher pro did this, but there are things about launcher pro that I like, and won't give up for it.

Tried on HTC Incredible running virtuous rom.
And... This is amazing. This is my new default home.
Only 2 problems so far and both are not important.
1. if you try to use the picture frame the phone freezes. - no big deal just don't use it.
2. If you are in lg home and select it on the home launcher it will force close. - this is not a big deal either because if you are in the lg home why would you select it
Edit. Uninstalled this. Two big problems. Pressing home force closes. And randomly when browsing photos phone will freeze

Seems to work fine on the Galaxy S, might even replace Launcher Pro if I don't find any serious bugs, thanks!

I installed on my vibrant and so far is running great , I love it!

How do you install it ? Just flash both files one at the time? I have a desire with modaco rom
thx!

Works Great
You can place the apk on your phone from your computer and open it on your phone click on it to install.
By the way it works great on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000

Can I run these widgets in Launcher Pro?

Just did a quick test, and yes, not sure how stable they are, just switched to Launcher Pro, selected them and that was it.

Tested on Nexus One and works like the TS said, only force close when using the Home button but after force close everything works again. Pretty strange but I'm sure it can be fixed. Looks like one of the best launchers I've tried tough.

Works great on Galaxy S i9000 running froyo jpc. LG has done a neat job..

Force close really needs to be fixed

No matter what I do the apk's in the LG Home.zip is broken..
Tried lots of browsers and archive managers.

NO Work fine in HTC Hero with nfroyo 2.2

How to get the Desire HD/Z widget in other builds?

i was running desire hd 3.4 for the last couple of days but today i decided to switch to froyo sense 2.4.2 because the camera is working on that build.
now i would like to know if it's possible to get a updated sense on that build. there are some nice features missing. like the preview of themes, a lot of themes, background pictures and especially some nice widgets and the feature to see all htc wigets in one place.
especially i am looking for the data-connection and settings widget which comes in bar-style (setting, wifi, mobile-data, sync, bt, etc.). is it possible to get it somewhere? it was pretty convenient compared to the single button widgets i found on the market.
thx a lot!

u cant. HTC sense is complicated. u either have it or u dont. at least for now...

that's sad. does anybody have a suggestion for a bar-like-settings-widget. sorry for my english.

I know what you are talking about. There are a few out there. Try "extended controls" in the market. It's also built into CM 6.

Have you tried the "Power control" widget? I do use LauncherPro, but I don't think it's specific to that.

Go to the market and search for "SwitchPro". It's awesome, and you can customise the appearance, actions, and number of buttons. Easily better than the power widget included with froyo.

Camera Quality -WP7

Hi guys
I know it is mention that when you take pictures with the flash on, it has a green tint.
But even the normal camera (Without flash) has lots of exposure, is there some camera software or something, to try and enhance the camera quality?
I must say, on WM 6.5, the pictures was outstanding, but there has to be something one can do to try and get the complete camera functionality back?
Thanks!

yes, try this one:

This does not get rid of the tint. Unless there ia some new update to it. I never understood the purpose of this app.

Use foto enhancer

I have the same problem and the only fix that I use is "Foto Enhancer"
is a free aplication and you can downloar from market place. When open the foto tap in the three dots and open "extras" then "photo enhancer" will show up and use it to change the appeareance of your photos.

Yeah, I gotta agree. The camera & this second app take the same pictures with the same green tint?! So the app is useless for me. This is the only "real" problem I have running WP7 on my HD2. Other than that it's pretty flawless, for me.

The tint is driver related.
The Second camera app fixes the issue of auto focus, and it saves your previous settings, so their is plenty of points to use it instead.

I second that...I´m deeply impressed by the usability of WP7 (didn´t think that it will be that smooth ). The one and only thing I´m really disappointed with is the camera. At this moment I can´t say that I´m missing something from Android except for Vignette, which was a very useful camera app that makes me made outstanding photos!
I really hope that there will be an opportunity for devs to get a better driver from somewhere... (but where should this somewhere be? )

I am with you on that one, i was sceptical upgrading to WP7, but i must say, it rocks. I love the automation of the software, contacts integration into Facebook....
Fantastic, the camera tho, is not good at all.
Hope some of the Devs, get a fix for the driver, as the Camera was untouchable on WM 6.5....

Where to get the build?

I wanted to know where to get the best working WP7 build for HD2?

The camera is the only reason I had to go back to WP 6.5 and or Android. My wife always has me taking pics when we go out and uploading to FB lol. The green tint is unacceptable. Can't wait for a fix so i can reinstall 7.

I must say, foto enhancer works quite nicely.
It does not help for the green tint on the flash, but for the rest of the photos, it works wonders.....
All my fotos has over exposure........... that fixes it with the auto enhancer.
Thanks!

Music player 3.0 (official Google)

here it is:
http://techfrom10.com/2011/04/the-android-test-market/
works like a charm on Cyanogenmod 7 RC4, even lockscreen commands, replaced old music.apk with new one in system/app (s-off or via adb)
enjoy!
cheers

I agree it works great - a big improvement from the previous leak.
This is also being covered in the general Android Apps and Games forum:

Larger than Winamp (7MB as opposed to 3MB once installed)

How did you get the lockscreen commands working? I had nothing. I'd maybe use it then as it does look nice, but Winamp has a better widget, plus lock screen.

It is force closing on my desire using gingervillian... any ideas?
it is working on my Viewpad 10s not optimal but useble..

Mine keeps saying "application not installed". I'm using oxygen 2.0.3. Any ideas?

I cant get it to install. I says application not installed everytime. I read somewhere that i has to do with the fact that i installed the older leaked version. How do i remove the old version completely?

Yes. That would be nice.

Not good... tried a few things.. looks ok .. uninstalled

buggy on oxygen 2.0.3
I really liked the interface though it is quite minimal so it's a shame that:
interface is slow to load and lags (not just on first load)
scrobbling gets very confused (last.fm doesn't know what to do and flashes scrobbling notification repeatedly).
uninstalled.
edit
downloaded a different version from some forum after reading an article about syncing music with latest music app. seemed to work very smoothly indeed.

I installed the one from here: Official Android Music 3.0 Beta! Get It Now!.
It works fine with the MIUI 1.4.8. But I'm missing some features like sleep timer, editing ID3-Tags. But I like the interface.

Is there a way of making this the default music app and having it work with the HTC Lockscreen? I Like it other than that.

I don't like it at all. It looks quite cheap compared to the older version... and compared to other players, including the stock HTC music player. Also, why so laggy?

thanks for this...

gooooooooood

CM12 and S-view cover

Hi guys.
Do any of you have an idea how to get the sview cover to work on CM12, or if it's even possible to get it to work?
From what I've googled, people say it requires Samsung framework, but there are (as far as I can see) apps that support CM11 and others.
CM12 runs fantastic on my 9005, but I really miss the sview functionality.

I tried the Lite version of this before and tried it again. Still, nothing. (I assume I would be wasting my money on the PRO version if the lite version doesn't work)..
Did you do anything in particular to make it work? (I mean, other than starting the service in the app)
Thanks. For me, the s-view is an important thing... keeps me on a stock rom.

Problem is that original sview cover uses magnetic sensor and 3rd party are proximity, so the apps on playstore just turns off the screen.
