Why can't I find Launcher.apk in any of these Espresso builds?

I just wanted to try to pull the Espresso Launcher into my ROM but I can't find Launcher.apk.

The Launcher.apk is Rosie.apk in Sense based roms

I hope you don't intend to try to push it to a non-Hero rom.

Nope, I am not going there. Luckily my limited knowledge includes not pushing hero to a non-hero rom.

Phew! Thanks for that.

Cupcake Sms --> Hero?

Would it be possible to use the sms application from the 1.5 (Without Sense), in a 1.5 Hero ROM?
Thank you.

Why would anyone want to do that!?

Well simply for speed. Sorry forgot this existed.

I don't see why not. I may be wrong, but I think you can just pull it out of any rom and install it like you would any other app.
Good luck.

Err, no as the HTC apps run on Sense UI firmware.

question about roms

a few weeks ago, I made a post about the "smoothness" of certain roms. I have come to the conclusion that the drc83 (or w/e it's called) version of donut is much smoother than the aosp version. is there any way for a noob like me to put the bits of drc 83 into a rom like super d? what is responsible for things like menu and window animations? is it as simple as flashing a kernal? if so, where do I find the kernal. if not, how should i go about doing this and what are the tools that I need? if it is impossible for a noob, are there any devs willing to do this?

The animations are in the frameworks folder but you can use metamorph to use the anim in S-D too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589315
Super-D is slower b/c it has a whole bunch of stuff back-ported from eclair and Enom doesn't which makes his rom quicker.I'm not saying one if faster or slower but the eclair stuff is making his rom slower, he does it since people will probably want it.

Goto market:

2. DL metamorph
3. Open metamorph, it will check for root
4. reopen then seach for the blur anim on your SD.

The only thing I got from the OP was that he knows how to spell kernal

the only reason I mentioned kernal was b/c I flashed a king rom once and it had a bunch of choices for kernals. one of them made the rom significantly smoother.
the only thing I got from your post is that you're a douche.

No, it was a joke between us tinychat people about kernal/kernel. Just noticed how you spelt it..... and yes I am.

oh, lol, sorry about that then now i'm the douche

Copying animations isn't going to do anything useful. If the system stutters, its going to stutter no matter what you feed it.. even tasty kernals.

Not actually regarding the op's question but...
I want to know if there is a way to port ion 1.6 to the g1, i've been looking and i cant find out how to do so, can anyone tell me how to or if there is already one out can you point me in the right direction?

I wonder why do you think your ROM is better than Quarx's because if it wasn't you wouldn't make it?
Tell us more about the improvements..

Then what is the purpose of making it?
Will it have style improvements? Or any improvements at all comparing to the official ones?

The purpose of making it is to create a clean rom for people that might not want everything customised. eg. having a blank cardboard box. You can do anything with it.
A simple rom for simple people.
The improvements will be that it might be a bit faster and a bit more space.
i will in the future be creating a rom that is customized

Make it root, take away everything except the essentials, use launcherpro as the default launcher and your done!

And yes just the essentials and root.

Good luck to you bud, hope it will be soon because would be good to see how it performs over stock and other modified Roms.
And just a little note to everyone moaning about this already. if you don't like what he is doing then you know what to do. don't download it then you won't have lost anything will you. he is doing this in his own time with no funding so maybe not should grateful. why don't you create your own Rom and then we can moan about it!!!!

Thanks. I have started work now so it might be done in the next few days, if everything goes to plan!

When you got a bit of time mate could do with some help on the kernal update from modaco. can't seem to update it from recovery.

Although you are correct in some way, that wasn't a very smart question. Not everyone likes one same launcher right? But does that mean every dev and android phone manufacturer should put about ten different launchers in their ROMS to suit everyone's needs? Ah, ok!

How do I change the Boot animation back? I would like to keep things as close to stock as possible and just remove the bloat.

Move the VZW_bootanimation.zip from /system/removed to /system/customize/resource and reboot.

Hey jermaine thanx a ton for this! gonna try this bad boy out. I have a noob question that I've been dying to get answered if you dont mind. I am completely hooked on sense 3.0, mainly for the lockscreen/quick launch apps and the newer Cam with Panorama. I was wondering if any sense 3.0 can be used with the OTA. I dont mean like right now, but will it be possible in the future? Thanks a ton man, great job!

Please add the notification pulldown settings widget.
and thanks for this

It's possible. Would just need tweaking around. Libs moved/ported.

Looks like Verizon wasn't ready.
"More Testing"

another feature which would be useful is home screen looping

Hey jermaine, can this be flashed over incubus's ROM? Just wondering. Thanks.

Only the ROM was leaked; not the radio. There is a prior "leak" of a radio (5.06) available elsewhere in the Incredible Development forum but the "new" radio version will be 7.07, according to the PDF's in the Verizon website leaked on Monday.
What the "bugs" are delaying the OTA is anybody's guess; it could be the radio, it could be features of the ROM. Verizon Wireless is usually very fussy about this stuff (for the most part, notwithstanding all the issues with the original Sensation and Thunderbolt releases).

FB for HTC Sense doesn't work for me.

actually no radio because we were given explicit instructions not to leak the ruu or radio......

Doesn't removing Footprints, Stocks, and their accompanying widgets leave broken shortcuts in some of the menus or something? I thought thats how it was with Froyo Virtuous?
