Open Home full feature 1.5 build

Hey guys,
Is anyone brave enough to test the full feature 1.5 build of Open Home Full? We know we can always find some brave ones here
It requires that you are running android 1.5 on your phone (aka Cupcake). This build has full supports of 1.5 widgets and also a good amount of stability and performance improvements.
We had not done a lot of testing on this build; also this build will expire in a month (5/30). If you want to test the latest and greatest, feel free to install and try this build.
*Remember safe mode is hold menu button when powering on*, if you see anything wrong, just enter safe mode and then uninstall it.
Do NOT install unless you are running android 1.5
Download the apk at

I assume since I'm running the dudes build and it supports widgets it may work. I can always remove if necessary . This doesnt remove open home right? just a different version?
EDIT: it replaces the existing open home

Hmm, I was impressed with the demo of OpenHome when I downloaded it a couple days ago. I'll take a look.

downloading it now. I have just flashed the holiday cupcake build so I assume it'll work with this. I'll let you know.

So far so good. I am glad to have openhome back again in 1.5
I have added all widgets, and they all work as expected. Are some of these the 1.5 "stock" widgets? I assume so because i see 2 music widgets listed, one looks like your own and the other a stock one.
I'll let you know how it goes after some proper usage. great work so far though. thankyou.
oh, p.s .. Will this be a free upgrade for those who had previosly purchased open home full ?

Works well enough. I like it.
Normally use full edition but will keep this until it is updated.
Suggestion: How about that calendar widget from Haykuro's build so those with dude's builds can use it?

Using it. Works well so far. I'm an OH Full user too, will I have any problems going back to the market app when it gets updated/released?
Ps. Is there any way to add support for Jeff Sharky's weather widgets? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509729

Weather widgets ok here. Problem with battery percentage widget though

It's already supported. That weather widget is working fine for me.

Hey guys i like the changes the menus are a little more intuitive now! Shame it doesn't seem to maintain your icons from older version, but weirdly kept my fonts theme etc - not sure if that qualigfies as a bug or not really
One problem i have found though is it seems to scrap folder icons the second you open bettercut again, not a huge problem but ....

BUGS!
I have almost 200 apps to SD so it's convenient to have my favorite "few" on the desktop. After I installed the new apk file... everything was GONE! Huge inconvenience! Then when I pull up the app menu I can watch them appear one after another like the app is doing a search for the installed apps. I also tried Picture Frame. It seems like it pulls up the Camera app, then the gallery. I selected my picture. Cropped it. Saved it. Then it went back to "select picture" again. Strange. Also... AnyCut Open Home Edition doesn't work. Definite bugs.
Other then that I love it. Thanks! Is this going to be in an update and when will it be available in Market? I purchased the full version months ago.

I don't think it has anything to do with bettercut because I don't have it installed and it still goes back to the default folder icons randomly, sometimes it comes back sometimes it doesn't.

Yea that kind of pissed me off when I realized it took all my stuff off the screen and the dock. It works fine besides these few issues though.

Hey quick question, is there any way to add a 3d effect on swipe? Like when you swipe to left or right screen, screen shrinks and rotates as a 3d cube. That will be awesome dude, you can name the app something different and charge for it again because I know damn well people will pay for it. I definitely will.

The reguar widget works for me, but not his. It isn't even displayed as an option.

Trying it out on my new Magic

But it's not 'open' in any sense...

Really dissapointed in losing all of my icons on all 7 screens. Glad that "real" widget support was actually added in. Almost went back to dxTop because of this. Please make the full version available on the market as an upgrade to the old full version. It would be nice to make it detect the old settigns and import them in.

Hey guys.. uhh i accidentally set my home to default instead of open home.. any help would be appreciated!

Opps. You have to wipe now.
Just kidding. You deal with it the same way as if you would set the defaults as any other app. Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Home>Clear defaults.

Been using this app for a few days now.I havent ran into any problems with it pretty smooth.Only down side was losing my icons.But no biggie.

Fennec???

Could someone put the app together or post an APK that WORKS, please and thank you
P.S. Im assuming this will get moved to themes and apps

your talking about Firefox Browser correct?
if you are, then its in a very early pre-alpha stage. the only know build is for the nokia handsets running the maemo OS, which is in beta 5. there is also a alpha 3 version for windows mobile 6. there is still a lot of work that the Mozilla team has to do before they can even get anything running on the android OS.

If you assume its going to get moved, then you posted it in the wrong spot.
I have a build for the Android, and I have the error logs from the crash. I will work on it when I have time.
Please stop posting in the wrong forums if you know its the wrong one.

Wow, amazingly searching the forums may have worked for you guy.

Has anyone been able to get this to load? I get as far as the "launch" button then it disapears and goes back to the home screen (if you launch GeckoApp with your phone in landscape you dont get the force close...)
Thinking this phone does not have enough power since this installs to a 40+mb app. looks like it does have a lot of bloat installed with it for other OS's.
At least we know they are working on a android version!!

Live Wallpapers on leaked 2.1?

I know that we can't have live wallpapers and sense ui running at the same time. I'm also aware the we need root. But I just found out that if you install slide screen, you are promoted to choose which home app is default (sense, stock android home, and slide screen). If we choose the stock one, would it be possible to get live wallpapers working if the devs do some tinkering? Or do we still need the permissions only root can give us?

You still need root to install them. But you did find a nice way to disable Sense if you desire.

I still believe there is a way to do it, I just don't have the time to tinker. If you have an android programmer that wants to do it, have them contact me and I will drop the details, and the files needed to get it done.

That would be great, that's the only reason I wanted root.

Ha, thanks jadesdan. sorry jcase, but I don't know of any android programmers and I myself can't be of any use. Maybe someone who knows what to do will stumble across this thread and volunteer.

[MOD] AdeoMOD - Navalynt Style (for Adeo v.02)

Based on DesignGears Adeo (REDUX) v0.2
I know I have a lot of people to specifically credit/thank but it's 12:30am here and I'm ready to fall asleep at the keyboard! I will have to revisit this in the morning and check for any feedback you all have.
BTW, Battle:LA, AWESOME MOVIE!
So I did a bit of theming after I got the services.jar file edited to support transparency in the notification drop-down. I also made the following additions to the ROM:
AppWidgetPicker
Playstation App
Fenny's WebTop Mod
Adobe Flash 10.2
Titanium Backup
Larger APNs list (apns-conf.xml) for unlocked phones
This is packed up with the Adeo v0.2 update since DesignGears did such a great job of scripting that update. You *should* be ok to re-apply this over v0.2 but I have not tested that myself.
INSTALL AT YOUR OWN PERIL - THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTING WORKING ON MY OWN HANDSET
DOWNLOAD LINK
Also included in the download file are the icon/dock images I used with LauncherPro which you will see in the screenshots.
UPDATE: If you have issues with MotoBlur widgets after this update you will need to perform a factory data reset. Actually, if you use the Blur features, just plan on performing that reset no matter what.
PICASA WEB ALBUM (higher quality screenshots)

Reserved (10char)

I'm testing this right now. Thanks, it looks awesome. Also, you might wanna make sure that you tell people that they need Adeo 0.1 BEFORE applying this update.
(A Mod might move it though... >.<)

hey man i just tested it. i do have the never software flashed on it (the sbf file frmo teh forums), and it seems to work fine, however i saw a glitch or so to say, namely when i did the webtop over hdmi only, after disconnecting the hdmi, and pressing the off/on button to put the screen to sleep, i tried to get it from sleep again and the screen just stayed black no matter what i did, i had to pull out the battery and now it works again.
so it might be a glitch with the newer version and teh webtop hack.

works well and very pretty but,
my social networking is messed up. my contact widgets are not linked anymore.
it was cool to test out!, how do i uninstall?

I'll help you out in a second. Press the corner in that menu of the ! where the search button is, but up on the screen so you can pull out the recovery that is hidden in that screen.

Nice. I'm going to look into this. It doesn't have Motoblur? Also. Hello! Small world! I'm from Anchorage, AK too! lol.
I freaked when I saw your screenshot. Thought I was the only guy here in our igloos.

Well, there were a lot of people having problems with their MotoBlur after the 0.2 update and I believe this "ROM" is based on that update so maybe a factory reset would have fixed it?

Yes, factory reset will fix it. I had issues with with Adeo .2 and a factory reset got everything working fine.

Yup, had to upload via dog sled to! It does have MotoBlur, no way of completely removing that right now. I just choose to use LauncherPro Plus instead of the stock MotoBlur launcher because I never use any of the Blur crap. If we ever get a custom recovery I will definitely work on a Blur-less ROM!
crnkoj, thanks for the feedback on the webtop mod! I have not even tried it yet but I'll probably play with that later this afternoon. If it continues being a pain I'll remove it from the updater.
songoghon, some people have reported that issue with blur specific widgets after the Adeo v0.2 updated (as mentioned above). The only solution which seems to work universally is a factory reset.

The primary reason for this mod/theme/pseudo-rom is for my own personal use which is why you guys might find glitches I don't see. Everyone uses their phones a little differently so I really appreciate the feedback!
I still have some ideas for the graphics since I really dislike the lock screen sliders and I can see a few small glitches. Updates will be posted as I work on it (and as I have the time).

yep, worked for me

is the link for the download the new one with the custome theme andother packages you listed?

I don't like that the messages app icon and email app icon are really small.. The trans. of the notification bar is slightly to transparent and cant read text very well maybe adding a white boarder to the text or changing trans. to something slightly darker. Really like the rest of it... Great job on this.. Keep up the good work...

+1 on that quoted section above. If those two Icons were normal sized - i would have no complaints period. Love the theme job here. Please keep this going and update it as often as you can. This is very nice looking. I love the Signal bar design
[edit] There are actually a few icons that got shrunk down to very tiny sizes.... Hope this is an easy fix and an easy update to those who have this installed

*bump* I know OP is limited on time available - just wondering if anyone else has found any issues with this mod. Anxiously awaiting next release!

Hi,
I've just released Dino Pop Live Wallpaper onto the Android Market (see link in my signature below).
Unfortunately I don't have access to one of your fabulous tablets - could someone please check it out and let me know if it works and if so, are there any issues?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Has anyone tried this? Could you please let me know if it even works on a Xoom or not?
Cheers,
Paul

It's really great! I like that it's a game. It's pretty easy to pop the dinos but they really do start piling up. FUN!
Oh, and installed fine, Xoom friendly, no issues.

it gave me a little bit of lag, but it works. stock 3.2.2
is there a way to mute it?

Excellent - thanks for checking it out and the positive feedback!
If you like, you can toggle the game on and off from the settings (along with perspective, size, no of dinos etc) to run it just as a wallpaper.

Sorry it's lagging for you. I was thinking of throttling it back a little anyway - this should sort the issue.
You can toggle sound on/off in the settings in the donation version.

Just to let you know, I've now released:
::V1.0.1
Enabled 'Move To SD' ability - for those who are running tight on space
