Hero apps on G1 rom?

I love the hero apps, the HTC contact manager, picture app and all that good stuff but can't stand being so limited by the hero rom. Is there anyway of using those apps on (for example) cyanogen 4 rom or something comprable? That cyanogen 4 is so smooth. Would look much better with some hero apps. People and that little lip with the phone and "+" sign is the ****.
I tried installing the apps after installing that rom and it tells me that it is not set up for my phone. Drats!

well to install hero apps you need the framework for the app. drake is trying to port the apps to cyanogen, he said so via twitter. or u can contact cyanogen and see if he can port them for u

[APP] Android Market [OUTDATED]

OUTDATED...
Flash newer gapps for new market!
gapps-mdpi-20101218-signed.zip

You rock. Trying this now and will report back.

Flashing went fine. Just a couple apps won't install, and I can't figure out a solution that will work. But, the new look is satisying enough for me. Thanks!

Yeah, I just had the same issue with Angry Birds Seasons... maybe trying a data or cache clear on the market will help, haven't tried yet though.
You can just hit the thanks button too btw And, you're very welcome.

ok, just cleared data for market... Settings > Applications and fixed angry birds seasons for me, might want to try that.

I did not thank you with the button, as I did it through words, and I was in a rush. I'll try the clearing method and see what happens.

good stuff!
one thing you may want to add to your updater-script....
delete("/system/app/com.android.vending.apk")
and/or
delete("/data/app/com.android.vending.apk")
delete("/data/app/Vending.apk")
i know that some older versions of DT a2sd used to put an "extra" vending file in the data/app directory... and some ROMs (like my RCMix... which does use an updated market), have the "com.android.vending.apk" file instead of "Vending.apk"

Ahh, good to know, thank you.

Updated script and added the blue themed market to the op also... thanks again for the heads-up Tenzo.

People seem to be having FC issues with this, I am not. I will look into it more tomorrow. You can take the .apk out of the zip and place it in system/app with a file manager that can gain root or push it there with adb, that should work for sure. If you are STILL having FC issues... I'd stick with the older Market.

force closes
Ya I've tried all the different zip files for this on the forum and they all cause force closes. I would try the market fix but I cant download it off the store unless someone has an apk

This seems to be working great for me I installed and haven't noticed any problems as of yet.

Installed on KaosFroyo v38 with CFSv9 with no problem.

thanks for the blue one, works great and iv got a black/grey/blue theme thing going on
XDA droid eris forums are amazing keep it up

market opens up but every time I pick an app to download it force closes.

Just force closes on me as well, any updates to get this going?

Works just fine for me on CELB 3.9. Had to wipe the dalvik cache to get it to get past "starting download".
I just dropped it in system/app through root explorer, changed the permissions, and restarted instead of flashing. Loving the look of the blue themed one. I like the look of the update in general, but it sucks knowing that the looks came at the cost of 23 hours and 45 minutes worth of trial time for apps.

I totally agree. They could've made it at least 30mins or 1 hour. But it was mostly game makers screaming about refunds after 24hrs because so many people would beat the games within that time and refund. But, they didn't have to be so extreme with the change to 15 mins... is Steve Jobs working over there under the table?

The original market looks better in my opinion. The new one is nice but it cuts the screen more than half with the coverflow style and ads.

Wiped the cache and data for the market app and broke it. FC's now every time. Had to replace it with the old one with root explorer.

[Q] How to install aosp apps on doc rom

I have searched everywhere but can't find anything,
I would love to use the stock calendar app on doc's rom or any other rom for that matter. But i'm not able to find anything that works.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
I've read that if you use the aosp mail app, the camera fc's.
But nothing about the calendar app.
I would love to know a bit more, I can't imagine it's that difficult.
There is a thread for stock eclair apps and I remember using them once, they seemed to work I recall.
If anyone knows a way I would love to know, I'm getting pretty frustrated with samsungs aproach to the calendar
Regards,
DaanJordaan

Bump
Any idea how to install aosp calendar?

It's in the market.
You'll have to uninstall the Samsung one first, then reboot.
Sent from my Captivate.

No. The AOSP calendar is NOT in the Market.
I have the same question: how to get a working AOSP calendar in Froyo???
But in this strange sgs community, everybody seems to love so much the TouchWizz Calendar!
Bllblb. It's ugly, not practical, and you cannot read the events titles directly from the week view.
I succeeded installing the Calendar from a CM6.1 Nexus1 Rom. But not the Calendar sync. So it works, but you cannot choose wich calendar to hide.
So. I'm not responsible for nothing, but you can try what I have done.
Download the rom here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/187-update-cm-611-n1-signedzip/
Extract from system/app/calendar.apk
-> Or instead of 1. et 2. you can just download from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18608283/Calendar.apk
On your sgs, use Root Explorer (or ADB if you know how). Delete (make backup first) TWcalendar.apk in system/app/ in your device.
Push the calendar.apk from the rom into system/app/ in your device.
Install it.
Reboot.
You're done. As I have said, the app works, but it Force Closes whenever you try to get in menu/more/calendars.
If somebody have an idea to get he whole thing working... It'd be great!

I don't think this is true either, where did you get this info from may I ask?
Thanks Judim but I have also tried that, had the same problem.
I'm using "Touch Calendar Free" at the moment, it's not as good as google's but still beats the living sh** out of samsungs...
Ah well if this thread bumps we'll just have to wait for CM7 to arrive or buy a Nexus S.
The first way is a bit cheaper though

Try also Business Calendar Beta from the Market. It could be a replacement waiting for a CM7.
I see you're also coming from the Hero... Small device but great CM roms
Cheers!

Here is an AOSP calendar app that I'm using on my Vibrant. It does have the fc issue when selecting more calendars, but does not have the dark bar at the top blocking week one of the month. It does have a skewed transparency up there, but its a mere annoyance and won't affect anything. Push to system/app. Oh the icon is ginger-green to match my rom, but thats all that I changed with the apk.

[Q] Streak 7 files

I have a rooted Streak 7 (16gb) with a 16gb SD card & it seems much much slower lately. What things can I delete or uninstall to help it?
I heard somewhere that uninstalling Dell Launcher speeds things up. ....can this be done without messing up system?
Also, I try out & uninstall apps constantly. ......does that fill up system with leftovers? Where are they?
Oh and "market" app loads EXTREMELY slow. ....sometimes wont load at all. ...ever since they changed Market design/format. Is that fixable?
Thanks in advance

At least on 2.2.x StageUI 1.5 is rather slow, but remember to install another launcher before removeing the StageUI launcher. StageUI 1.7 is completely different.
If you uninstall an app, from either the market uninstall button or the setting one it removes all config files immediately.
If you manually delete an apk it will remove config files on reboot.

There's an app called SD maid that I personally love that gets rid of all cache files and leftovers from apps (if there are any)
There are several apps that try to boost your SD cards access times... you can try those... can't hurt...
I also use AutoRun Manager to make sure apps I rarely use don't start up at boot
And yeah... the Dell Stage pretty much sucks... my preference is GO Launcher

so if I install something like "Go Launcher" then I can uninstall Dell launcher? My system came with 2.2.2.
actually I have "circle launcher" installed,,,,can that work?
thanks so much!

Definitely, I would RECOMMEND doing away completely with the DEL Stage and then run any launcher you prefer, I was just stating that I use (well use to use) GO Launcher (I'm running GingerStreak 2.3 and have gotten attached to VTL Launcher somewhat) but I loved the features of GO Launcher....
OR you can install one of the custom ROMs that have been tweaked a little bit for performance
I'm not really gonna try to recommend one because I have no idea what your level of expertise is with Android is or how much you like to tinker with your device, but there are some very nice options that will certainly make you smile

it says go launcher is incompatable with my streak 7 :-(
I love messing with my gadgets & appreciate any advice u give! Thanx bunches
ok it seems like most launchers are incompatible. ....why?

I know it's incompatible with DJs HoneyStreak, but you shouldn't get an incompatibility message with it on Froyo... least ways I didn't

Ok I got. GO Launcher apk from the company website & that worked. I wonder why market wouldn't. ....hmmm. ...
I was trying Launcher Pro too but its 3.49 to use extra customization features & Go Launcher is free.
Removed Dell Stage. ....even market runs better!
Anyway, thanx again. ..any other good speed up tips? I installed a Rom manager also :.)

You can uninstall the ROM Manager, none of them work with either of the Streaks.
I use AutoRun Manager to keep apps from starting up that I don't use often, and I also use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer to help manage my memory...

[Q] Google Play

Recently I acquired a new G1 Dev phone and I just got done applying CM 6.1. So far I'm very pleased with the overall result. One thing that doesn't seem to work (or I just don't do something right) is "Market" (now Google Play). If I click on the "Market" icon the web browser opens and I see the Google Play Terms of Service. One would think that there would be a "agree" button but I can't seem to find it. I would be thankful for any tips, hints, ideas.

Please don't post questions in the general section.

1 - Try to install apk of Google Play 3.10.10 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001595) or
2 - Rotate Screen

Hi guys - I'm having a similar problem with my G1. Recently I've reflashed from Donut by Laszlo to CM5.0.8 and everything was fine. Yesterday I reflashed again, this time going for the 2708+ port - basically CM5.0.8 with ramhack. I flashed with Gapps that didn't include google maps as it was said it would be a bit more stable. Plus I don't really need them so I was glad to have saved some space. What I didn't know was, it didn't contain the Market app either. Now I'm trying to get the market installed but can't seem to succeed. I found an apk that I installed and it worked for a bit, but when started downloading it forceclosed. So I tried an edited google play app, that was supposed to work on the Eclair versions of android and it failed, so I tried to install the previous one again, but that one forcecloses now instantly.
So does anyone know of a Market app for CM5 that is stable, or do I need to reflash Gapps? I would prefer simply a market app, if there is a stable one anywhere...

Never mind actually. Got it to work. I used the wrong Gapps before - that's why the Market didn't work and forceclosed. Just downloaded different Gapps, removed unwanted apks, flashed and that's it. All is fine...
