I just updated to CM5. I see pics of G1s running cm5 with a hero looking lockscreen. How would I get that lockscreen on my G1?
Thanks
Wow, almost a week and not one reply. Can anyone help? I attached a pic, so maybe you guys will have a better idea as to what Im talking about.
Try the LockBot app (or named something like that) can't remember. Its in the market. 2 versions free and pro.
Thats what I was looking for. Thanks a lot Sleeepy.
thanks it's nice...

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!

I've been spoiled by advanced launcher, and now I want something for 2.1 that will let me hide apps in the drawer. Anyone know of a launcher that will work?

Lol did you flash new cyanogen, too?
I'm in this boat right now. It's pretty annoying. Been searching all night, but no results.

EXACT Same boat here
GDE may be worthwhile if you need folders... but doesnt mention hiding apps really.
I'm just gonna wait it out. I might look into that, though.
yep, running cyanogen's newest. so far, everything else is awesome!
I looked through the Nexus forums, and didn't see any launcher replacements there either.
I like the beta of AlmostNexus launger, neat little changes to the home screen. However I'm not sure if it works on 2.1 yet, I've yet to try..
Community,
I am sorry to make my first post a request. I was browsing through this forum the other day and came across an amazing theme/rom (cant remember which). I didn't know a whole lot about how to do what so I went to investigate what I needed to do to get my phone to look that cool. Now that I know what to do, I cant find the post that had the theme/rom. Here is what I know.
-It was in the past day or so that I found the post and I am pretty sure it must have been in one of the first pages of the captivate forums.
-It might not have been the main theme in the post, and instead been a link posted at the start (crediting the inspiration of the theme)
-There were pictures of screen shots in the post
-Its look was very metallic, almost rusty
-There was a circle segment going across one of the screens, I think it was the dock on the main screen
-very simple, dark and apocalyptic
If anyone has any clue which theme/rom this might have been, I would be forever in their debt. I would also appreciate any advice on how to search better for this...I have been at it for hours.
Thank you so much,
Dezdemona

Thanks for the reply. I do like that one, but it isnt the one I was referring to. The one I was looking at had a brownish red type feel to it.

Different animations when swiping home screen?
Does anyone know what them or launcher uses the option to change how you swipe through your homescreens?
Also, when i was running COG 3.04 i had a scrollable bottom dock bar..can't seem to figure out how to get it. Couldnt find it in the options menu's.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The reason you had a scrollable dock in cog 3.04, was because it came packed with launcher pro (I think..). Launcher pro has the option to have multiple docks. It also has different transition options between homescreens.
Another that does the aforementioned is adw.
Hope this helps!

I doubt that because if you look at the status bar icons they're android ones

looks like it might be a venom rom (viper). can't get it on sprint yet.
Looks like Mi Home launcher. It is MIUI launcher installable without the whole ROM. It's on the playstore.
OP, I don't see anything distinctive about that home screen/launcher. That's not meant to be offensive, but it doesn't seem to have any "identifying" traits-- I don't see a dock, but lots of launchers let you hide a dock. Ditto for the app drawer. The icon set looks familiar-- I think I may have seen it in one of the newer minimal packs (particularly the G+ and Minecraft icons). But this entire setup looks like it would be entirely reproducible on several launchers with the right widgets.
Which ROMS allow red signal icons?
