Look at rogro82's modified launcher

It works on Hero builds? Ace!

ahhh... maybe not, just disabled my phone! going back to previous backup

Are you talking about JACHero Superlite versions? They don't have Rosie, but are still built off the Hero builds so you have flash and multi-touch and whatnot. Uses a launcher, not sure how many screens tho. Might wanna check it out.

Yeah that's what I'm using ... only a 3-screen launcher though, hence this thread!

Same thing with me i don't know why it wont work
the framework / touchflo home launcher is different from the "tradition" android homescreen so therefore bettercut isn't recognizing the rosise aka touchflo so therefore it isn't working.
its the APP, not the ROM thats causing this problem, its a big bummer i know.

nah i used the same one that JAC included in his build, i haven't tried to pus that modified launcher with the ablility to choose # of screens.
also that launcher isn't "hero themed" so i didn't really like it gonna wait for devs to theme it also

ya, i spoke with the dev of bettercut and he told me he is working on getting bettercut to work with hero, its just a matter of time. he got better keyboard, now bettercuts next.
Try using OpenHome on Hero- you can skin it out to the Hero style (or standard) all you want, change icons, better cut works with it as well. Plus you get 7 home screens and a couple other nice features.

yea but we want to keep rosie running and change the icons.. hope the bettercut for hero comes out very soon. thanks for the info
You can run multiple launchers on the same device. I'm currently running Rosie- but I like the Hero icons personally.
Hopefully the BetterCut dev gets that worked out soon.

Which is the best ROM for me?

Hey I was looking for a new ROM on my new G1. I would like something with a nice digital clock widget, a messaging widget, and just many downloadable widgets. My brother has Hero on his G1 and I love, the only problem is that I don't like the fact that if you slide it up it just freezes... So are there any somewhat similar to Hero but can slide?

As of right now, no. This is because the actual Hero doesn't have the keyboard, and so when you slide it up, it tries to force Rosie into widescreen which it doesn't support, ergo, the crash. You'll just have to live with it. However, Drizzy has been making some progress with that and has actually gotten Rosie to run with the keyboard open though it crashes and then reloads Rosie when you open the keyboard. He said he'd look into it more so follow his twitter for more info.
EDIT: Forgot to say. Hero ROM's are the only one with a messaging widget. You can download the Digital Clock widget from the market for a small price. I don't know the name of the widget exactly, just do a search for it in the theme section, it was mentioned in there a few times i believe.
There aren't any messaging widgets like the one on the Hero roms. You can download ANY widget to any rom though, just search the market for widgets and see what you find. Hero shouldn't freeze when you "slide up" whatever that means, if your talking about the keyboard when your on the home screen that is because they don't rotate, only in programs. If you mean some other type of slide then most likely your brother didn't do a proper linux-swap partition or it is to small. Anyway you need to just try the different roms and see what you like best, also some themes offer extra widgets and features but remember you can get any widget to any rom, just not the Hero/HTC Rosie widgets because HTC's stuff is closed source so we can't port it.
Ok thanks guys. So can I have the original and like non experimental link to hero. I use to search box and only find mods of it, and I guess I am just iffy on the mods. Anybody mind giving me the link to the newest and best quality ROM for Hero? Thanks In Advance

The modded ones are the best ones. The unmodded original is veryyyyy slow compared to the new ones. I would try JACHeroski 2.1 or MoDaCo 1.51 are both fast, stable choices.

All heros are technically "experimental". I haven't messed with the new Drizzy. I'm still putting JacHeroSki 2.1 throught it's paces. I can recommend it. There are people who like each of the different incarnations of hero.
What I suggest is going to the DEV section and read. Decide on your own. Hell, you can flash them all with switchrom. Have some fun and learn some cool stuff.
so good roms

Switchrom for the win. Seriously.. haha Yeah JACxRom is pretty decent. But as far as hero have you tried HERO2 - Freedom of choice? If not I think you'll be impressed. I flash FoC when it was first released and it wasn't anything to write home about but now? Dang.. it's fast. Wicked Fast. Try it out!

question about the 2.1 ruu leak

well im running the the 2.1 leak and i decided to try and turn sense off via going into application manger and clearing defaults on sense and hitting home (like you did on 1.5), unfortunately this does not work, it does not give an option to choose between sense and vanilla android. Any suggestions?
The one signed with test keys, or the one signed with release keys?

use homeswitcher from the market, although that method should work...

He means when running a 1.5 rom there was the option to switch to "Home" as a launcher. In the leaked 2.1 rom there wasnt the choice.
He would have to install a separate launcher to be able to have a vanilla look.

You can try helix from the market.. Its what i use instead of sense. Alot of people from here use it.
You can also look up Zeam Launcher, looks sorta like sense but runs wayyy smoother and its most definitely not htc sense.
Also you can try this one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678706
There are quite a few others, some devs include some in roms. Just search for launcher.apk or launcher2.apk.

+1 for Helix launcher, whenever I go away from sense that's what use. The best part is the landscape homescreens.

Looking for white Froyo-like theme

Thanks but I did not made myself clear... It's my bad.
I use these two instead of the Sense, as a matter of fact my ROM has no sense whatsoever. Anyway what I AM looking for is that white taskbar with Froyo like icons and not the launcher. ^__^

[Q] Lockscreen Mods on CM6.1

So I have looked around for lockscreen mods for CM6 and I haven't found any. I know there are a lot for things like Fresh with the rotary lockscreen. Something similar to the following would be amazing:
Rotary with two buttons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670034
Rotary with four buttons:
http://android-themes.net/android-lordsmiff-woz-ere-theme-for-g1.html
Four buttons at bottom:
http://android-themes.net/android-plastic-silver-theme.html
If anyone has any information about this, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
I know some of these images are in our roms, cm6 roms at least. The 2 button rotary looks cool, I am gonna flash it BRB may take a few, might have to nandroid back LOL.
UPDATE...
Dont look good for the home team I got boot looped after the flash. I know some of the images for this are already in our roms, it would prob just need to be edited/ported over. I cant help you there, sorry. I would like to see the 2 button option if anybody knows how to fix this
Thanks

Yeah but it was worth a shot There must have been a idea to include these lock screens on cm6.1 at one time because the rotary arrows for the lock screen are in the current cm6.1 rom!
well, ive been reading around, and the current CM6.1.1 has the rotary lockscreen somewhere in the options. i dont want to use a sense rom just to get this super awesome feature. i would die without the notification toggles. so, if we can get the piece from the new source, then things will be good, right?

Not sure what you mean? Cm6 isn't sense based... And yes, the most recent cm's have the option to use the standard sliders or the rotary.
Sent from my 2.2 Hero
The nightlys have the options and Jaybob413's roms which is based off CM6 has this option as well.

Hey guys, I had a quick minute to visit xda so I'll point you guys towards this thread
It has TONS of different looking lockscreen mods.
I've been following it since the beginning of December, trying out more than a handful without any problems.
Hope this is along the lines of what you're looking for

no, i mean that the mods in the OP are for 2.1 sense based roms. im running cm6.1, and i dont want to go to the sense roms just for a lockscreen. i use the notification widgets too much for me to live without them now. but i was messing around in the cyanogen github, and i think i found some of the new parts for the rotary lockscreen... but i dont know what to do with them. i have little programming/system knowledge to this extent, so yeah.

Why would you need to do anything as the rotary lock is already built into cm as early as nightly 187? Unless you are using an older version, the option is in cm settings.
