Hero Lock Screen on Cyan builds? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I really like the 'slide to unlock' feature on hero roms.. Is it possible to push that onto a Cyan build, or is it too tied in to hero?
Thanks

I would love to know this also as ive spent around 5 bux on different lock screen apps but I think the Hero is the most impressive

Anyone able to give a simple yes or no ?

I don't believe so (I've seen many hero themes and none of theme had it inucluded). I'm sure it tied in to those darn HTC Frameworks :-(

not possible once again htc frameworks like adrian said

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!

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!

No...The frameworks are differnt so you cant..The eclair hero lockscreen is better then the 1.5 hero's.Also dont even bother trying to install the lockscreen's apk since it wont work.You can wait for AOSP 2.0 or stick with what you have now.Or! upgrade to a new HTC phone like Legend/Bravo/Passion/Nexus well you get the point.

Do you know of any music apps as good as the htc one?

Sense UI on Motorola Droid

When is someone going to port sense onto the droid? I just got my droid after a screw up where verizon sent me the eris, and i had to put up with it for 2 weeks. I love sense, but the hardware of the eris was terrible. HTC needs to step up there hardware. I tryed openhome with 2 different themes, one was good, but it forced closed sooooo much it i couldnt use it. I tryed aHome, same problem. Im not sure how safe rooting is, and i really dont want to mess up my phone. What is the best hero rom or theme for the droid? Has any one ported sense ui onto the droid? I mean, i know its possible. I would be willing to root my phone if there are any good roms/themes availible. Also, what are some good roots out there? Ive seen it on so many devices EXCEPT the droid! Im currently running GDE with the hero theme, and it works well, certainly the best ive used, but the only difference is the conversation widget, bar at the bottom, and 7 home screens. Still stuck with all the boring stock android widgets. I want to see sense run on a droid. I want it on MY droid. Thanks in advance.

.......what does this have to do with android themes?
I just thought this was the best place to put it. If it needs to be moved, move it. I didn't see any catagories that it fit in better, and it discusis themes.
I don't know maybe Android Development since you are looking at rooting and booting a new rom on your phone? Just a thought.
sense has been ported, check out the alldroid.org forums, but some vital things such as battery do not work (it must be plugged in)
this might have been fixed tho... idk check it out.
u might have to click on a dev's username in that forum, try eugene373.

it's not a theme. it's a complete rom. which is not a theme. which would mean it does not belong in the themes section. which this is.

Panda Home also has got got reviews on the Droid versus Open Home. I haven't looked into what would be needed to change to theme the Music and Power widgets for their themes yet, thats the only thing they dont import from the Open Home themes.

[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

I figured it would because the framework is different for CM and fresh as far as I understand. Sucks

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.
