Any grumblings about an improved method with Froyo? I understand HTC has a solid one, anyway to transfer that or is it stuck in sense framework like the widgets?
Well to be honest its not impossible because i remember when someone got HTC music to work on the G1 and i think it was with the sense framework... Browser should be easer... i guess..
nope

Can you check if the stock google Launcher2.apk is included in this firmware? i hate the customized one of LG & all the other launcher like ADW and LauncherPro that don't work well with live wallpapers anyway i hope someone will port the Honeycomb UI or the complete firmware, that interface should work great on a 4'' display

Thanks will add to OP
I just got back from work so I didn't had much chance to play with the dump yet.
I've got 2 live wallpapers working on my N1 :
Bubbles movement
Christmas SnowCity (also need lib file to be pushed)
There is also quite a few other apps that works out of the box but mainly in Korean language tho. Nothing really interesting yet mostly bloatware...
And yes I did check the clock/weather widget, FC but that was to be expected it may require the framework to work I haven't looked at the issue yet tho...
The boot animation is also nice IMO - I like the dancing android mascot lol
If there is an interest for those live wallpapers I could post them in the apps section - let me know
Hi All-
As Bypass mentioned, I am the lucky owner. If there is anything else I can do to help development, please let me know. I am more than happy to help in anyway I can. That being said, as Bypass can attest to, I am a COMPLETE NOOB in this area, so I will need detailed instructions. Hopefully, with his guidance, I can get the the files that will be necessary for real development to begin from my phone to you guys! Thanks everyone who is participating in this!
Thats the real xda community spirit guys, let the developement and modding begin! Lets all get behind this phone and give it all the support it needs to reach its full potential. Once again i respect you all for the great enthusiasm, keep it up everyone.
is there a netflix app on here, similar to the netflix app being pre-loaded on the lg revolution? would be nice to get an apk...

On my phone, there are 14 live wallpapers available:
bubbles movement, christmas snowcity, fire work, galaxy, grass, magic smoke, Many, Nexus, Polar Clock, spectrum, vu meter, water, water drop, waveform. NOt sure how many of those have been available before....
Most seem to be the stock android ones, apart from the first 2.
What was getting root to do this like? Hard or not? Seriously considering this phone, but would mean changing operator in a while!
considering it was my first android phone, I would say getting root was not too difficult. Installed the android sdk and LG phone USB drivers. Used super one click to root the phone. Apparently I did something wrong during the process but after messing around w/ some help from Bypass, I got a full root. I imagine with a little refinement, rooting will be quite easy.

i mean tutorials are the way a lot of us got going, or really got into it
basically though, just start by using 7zip to take apart the frameworks from another theme and look through the drawable-hdpi or hdpi-4 folders and see the changed images
its a lot to take in though really...not something that can be picked up in a week or something...but dont get discouraged

i don't think you understand the concept of a tutorial
to bo honest i dont think i do...thats why im trying to learn
You really just have to jump in. I use winrar instead of 7zip . But to start, open up a theme that already works for the fascinate ...and just look at the folder tree and understand where everything is ... after that, Start replacing images. XML editing is going to take a tutorial, but there is a lot you can do before you take that step. It takes time ... and patience. Pretty much just jump in .you have an advantage being that this phone is so easy to recover if something goes wrong. It is addictive though ... be warned. The theme I'm working on has consumed my life almost haha.

The point of a tutorial is to show you what to do. So you should give them a shot instead of writing them off.
i did...i read like three to four tutorials but they all start in diff areas of stuff and it just gets to confusing...im trying though...im not just writing it off...i really am

while i *should* update my tutorial to include more of the basic stuff, the reason most of it focuses on the more advanced xml/.9 things is because in december/january that seemed to be the most pressing issue for many.
i was getting dozens of pms a day on androidforums/xda/irc with many of the same questions, and while i was trying to be helpful and respond it was getting to be a bit overwhelming....so i figured id answer the most commonly asked things first and work back from there...but then dl30 dropped, then eb01 and i got tied up by porting the themes/ports i maintained.
now that im working on more detailed themes that takes up most of my android time...but ill see what i can do about updating the tutorial
Thank u man...sorry for being such a noon :/

So is it really hard to combine elements from different themes to make a new theme? There are several different ones that I love parts of, but I would like to be able to pick and choose and piece one together...
Like for instance, I like somebody the dark themes, but I don't always like plain toggle buttons, and I love the stock gingerbread statusbar with the little vertical battery meter that has the percent in it.... some themes I did the transparent pull down, etc....
I'd like to be able to mix n match
How hard is it to do that?

Hey I was just wondering why this does not work .
Why can I not cross use different apks from different roms .
I am using Ice cold sandwich atm and the Camera application sucks on it , half the stuff doesn't work so I am forced to use a third party application.
I tried to access the app folder inside the "system.ext3.tar" which was found in one of my backup roms . ---> Created with CW MOD
I basically tried to take the working camera application and install it on my current rom but it crashes on startup, how do you actually go about doing stuff like this? What are the requirements ?
I just dont get why it does not work
I also hate the clock APK in the rom it does not have a world clock which I really need. I tried to again take the World Clock apk from another rom and it did not even install.
They were all from different icecream sandwiches but with sense 4 , the rom I am using does not have sense but I dont see how that would really affect this
Can someone explain to me how to cross use APK system files ?:good::good:
I believe you can't cross sense with aosp and aokp. If you want sense apps to work then port to a sense Rom. Your trying to put a square peg in a triangle hole.

I cannor really explain it, but I know for sure that u can't use apk-files from sense or touchwhiz and use them on AOKP ROMs. It's just not possible. Same thing for widgets...

HTC apps require HTC framework and other HTC apps in order to work
So without the other apps, just come of them won't work
Most apps from other Roms, like Sony Ericsson and miui Roms will work, I have some of them
I think just Samsung and HTC apps won't work
But Samsung apps can be hacked

4.2 Clock.zip I think this is the clock which can also act as a screensaver or something along those lines. That's a bit useless in my opinion, but if I'm not mistaken, it also has stopwatch and timer features built in (took your time, Google!) so it's worth having.

Annoyingly I can't find the person(s) who actually provided these mods. I'll try to keep the OP updated with any newer JB (4.2) apps I find.
I've installed them on my HD2 and they both work. The keyboard appears to be flawless. The camera has graphical glitches very much like we HD2 users had with Jelly Bean ROMs until very recently, but not as bad because they clear up enough to reasonably use the app. PhotoSphere does NOT work, though, because it says that our device isn't supported. That'll probably be fixed by a dev soon enough, but, for now, it won't even let you access the mode.

Yep, I thought as much from what others have said on another thread. Either way, you can see this video to see how awesome Photo Sphere is. Check the G+ link in that article as well, the resolution isn't half bad and the photo stitching is pretty much perfect, as we've come to expect from Google (Street View).
I got PhotoSphere mode to work by changing the ID to Galaxy Nexus in build.prop, but it's unusable. It sort of works, but it's excruciatingly slow and the accelerometer only barely works. It takes something like 30 seconds to take the first photo, then 30 seconds for it to allow you to take another, then another 30 seconds... at which point I ended up stopping the operation, but the resulting image wasn't even stitched together properly. It probably needs to be modified to work with the HD2's hardware. I'm no Android dev, so that'll have to be for someone else to figure out, though we might need the source for that.

Here's the clock. I think it's a flashable zip. I installed it just with extracting it and then finding it in the system/app folder(not the real system).
It doesn't overwrite the original clock apk so you can have it too since it has a nice timer and stopwatch. Alarm doesn't work for me(Clock has stopped, or something similar).
EDIT: Sorry, I haven't seen that you have already posted the desc clock.
Anyway, if that one up there doesn't work for you, try this.
