Let's clear up this whole Nexus Launcher "Thing"

So everyone is wondering why the Nexus One Launcher just keeps FC'ing, and how come the Droid can just install, and WHAM! it works. ANY ANSWERS????

the droid luancher is just a themed Rosie.apk. we already have Rosie (sense UI). the nexus launcher is probley having shared uid issues or something. thats just a guess though.

I think you have me wrong, Im talking about the native nexus launcher not the rosie 2.1 combo

use the open eclair launcher2.apk it works fine

no i was explaining what the droid (themed) rosie was. the nexus launcher is going to need opengl 2.0 to be fully functional. and to get it to instal ur gonna need an aosp rom. we had aosp build on the heroc forum but things went south with the leak of a .29 kernel. causing the drivers for touch screen to not be compatible with anything but htc built and modified builds. but before the .27 kernel came along i backported the opengl drivers from the .29 kernel into the old .27 kernel enabling the 2.1 opengl drivers which are opengl 1.1 for the msm7k devices. the nexus one like many other new devices has a different arch and gpu that alows them to have opengl 2.0. our devices just dont support it. the best lwp we can get are only lwp from the market that are half baked/ home brewed lwp. so yeah ther is a chance u could port one of the few builds that have support for the nexus launcher and other nexus goodies. but in the end it will be fairly buggy as it was on the heroc. ie Eris and heroc are basicaly the same devices. only a few minor differances.

Seems to work fine for me now, with live wallpapers as well

I seem to remember that when the leak first came out there was some "issue" with the opengl that shipped inside of the update. That *might* be whats going on here. I'd suggest looking around for that thread, as there may be answers to your questions in it.

I've been trying to say live wallpapers worked with the launcher2 from open eclair for a while..just not the wallpapers that ship with the phone

yeah the only real issue with the nexus one launcher that we had with the heroc, was the app tray was a little laggy and bothered a lot of people.
the lwp though were just issues with the stock lwp. like i said the ones in the market worked ok. some were a bit laggy though and would at times bring the phone to a crawl. i remember one did for sure. that was the "logcat lwp" i loved it but it was easily seen that lwp werent meant for our hardware.
but yeah i think its possible to get a few of the stock ones to work also. i cant remember what me a maejrep had to do to get them working. but i do remember them still being to buggy. but yeah most of the market ones were ok and would run for the most part fine.

I still cant find a working launcher2 someone please POST A LINK!!!!!!

THEY'VE POSTED MANY LINKS THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!!1111
There's no need to shout.

The reason for the confusion is because hes on the earlier leaked 2.1 not the rooted 2.1

New swype beta

Does anyone know if the new swype beta is compatable with the eris? Trying to find it for my wife and have had no luck.
Sent from my Rooted Incredible using Tapatalk

I found this over on the android forums.
This should work for you.
It has been working for me with Sense-able Rom 3.1

Thanks for the upload, worked like a charm.

says it is expired on my phone, anyone having this issue?

I couldn't tell you, sorry, worked great for my wife she's using the rom Droid does Pink based on Senseable 3.1.

Found a new one here on XDA I have tested it and it is working.
it can be found... showthread.php?p=6787995
I have also uploaded it

Hey guys I'm really having a hard time making double letters in this new version, it just doesn't seem to work. Old one worked fine before it expired. Any ideas??

I just tried some words with double letters and like Vince its not working well.
after playing around with it for a few found that it seems like the program is not tracking correctly. I have tried the Speed VS Accuracy and it didn't help much if any. I my have to give shapewriter a shot.

I've had the same issue with TWO different versions of Swype now. I'll try this one out and pray it works. I don't see why it isn't released, but ugh, whatever.

So, what you need to do is go into your settings>Language & Keyboard and make sure the box next to Swype is checked. If there is no box there, then the install did not work right. Once you have the box checked, then go into a program that you would be able to type something (text, email, browser, etc) and long press in the box you want to type in. It will come up with some options like copy/paste/input selection. You'll want to choose input selection and then you should be able to choose Swype as your go to keyboard. Hope this helps...

Just thought I'd pop in here and say that if you go to beta.swype.com, you can get into the public beta for the next couple days. This'll let you get the actual current updates.

It's because they haven't released it yet. They have several BETA versions that they're testing. This is why you can't find it on the market. There is ONE version out there with a license that won't give you a "trial period ended" error, but few have it. This is for testing purposes, though it may be annoying for you and others, this is what will make it such great app, extensive testing. It should be soon...looks like they've almost got it nailed down.
FWIW, none of us are even supposed to have this app...be thankful you've gotten to play with it.

I have swype with a license that won't expire. I downloaded it from another thread in the eris forums. Awesome app.

Yup, it's out there, no doubt about that. And it's awesome, no one's gonna argue with that.

[Q] HTC Sense Live Wallpaper for Captivate?

Just wondering if anybody has looked into porting the HTC Sense Live Wallpaper (that was on the Desire and was ported to the Nexus One), so that it works on the Captivate or another Galaxy S phone?

Bump this. I would also love to have the HTC Sense Live Wallpaper for the Captivate.
Anyone?

same here. anyone???

now that we have 2.2 out for our phones, it should be able to be used. I know Nexus One has it available for 2.2

the one available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837 still won't install.

Well figure it out. We need it.

yeah i second trying to get this Live wallpaper

Has anyone tried saving to sd card, flashing an old 2.1 kernel, applying the update and then switching back to froyo kernel?
EDIT: this method is assuming that everyone's running froyo now.

Why? I've given up live wallpapers for the most part because they tend to slow things down too much, even with a lag fix installed.
I'll still give it a whirl after you figure it out, though.

i tried pushing the lib files over but ran out of space and couldnt push the apk...funny thing tho, i left the libs in the system when i restarted my phone, poof! no signal, X'ed out like there was no sim...i deleted them and rebooted and poof! back to normal lol (and airplane mode was off the whole time btw)

Anyone able to adapt to captivate?

still waiting for this.... got one installed, but just shows a black screen.

try this one it works on galaxy s 2.3.3 roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095754

[Q] anyway to get swype from galaxy s to install on nexus one?

this swype version (2.8.50.12867) was extracted from orange israel's (Partner) galaxy s.
whenever i try and install this apk it wont install.
is there anything that needs to be change for this galaxy s swype to install correctly on the nexus one?
the reason i am asking is because it is the only swype version to support hebrew text.
thanks

Does this count as piracy? Just askin...

Yes, it's a post to the apk. I reported it over 12 hours ago, guess they're on vacation.

i dont get why it would be wrong especially if its pulled from a different rom. for example, if i pulled it from a g2 (which it comes with already) then hows that wrong? its just like pulling the wifi calling apk. i maybe wrong but its just my opinion.

I second that question...

Because the Swype developers have asked us to stop.

If it's Hebrew swipe support you want, I suggest SlideIT, not the most accurate swype algorithm but the only one with proper Hebrew support.

No, since you can't buy it.
Its given free.
It's exactly like a leaked rom.

I agree! Post the .apk.

Swype from Galaxy S might either rely partially on Samsung framework (not too likely, but not impossible if this version was integrated on a code level - and then someone might have used the framework functions or resources), or employ some kind of detection mechanism to verify the environment it's installing on (quite likely).
I also think this application itself counts just as a leaked ROM would.

The only way it can be posted is if it is part of the rom that it was shipped with.

Xbox smartglass question

So I'm still running serendipity VII on my captivate and I absolutely love it. The one problem is smartglass seems to only work on android 4.0 and up. Is there any work around to get smartglass to work for me without updating my phone? Thanks in advance guys

Without 4.0+, you're phone is missing functions to make this app work. I don't think there's a workaround, even if someone tried to port it.
