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'm not sure why it hasn't been mentioned on XDA yet, but TQ 3.0 has been released:
I'm only putting it out here, so if someone wants to make an official thread then go ahead. I'm amazed no one has said anything here... unless I'm missing something. Looks sweet!
READ ALL THE WARNINGS - especially Rubix users:
I'm leaving the below link in the post just in case, but the rom owner asked me to update the OP with a direct link. Don't worry, I tested the link, it's not malicious. Please visit this link first :

Installed and seems like this ROM is solid....no bug(s) yet....nice
Confused
This is supposed to be a blurless rom, correct? I loaded it last night, and def still has blur in it.... When I get home I'll have to see if it actually deodexed like it promised. Even Contacts are still blur...
I will say that it's FAST though..

All of the current ROMS have *some* level of Blur. Since we cannot bypass the Moto Kernel, there are some levels of base code that just have to be there.
Tranquility, Apex, zapX, and Rubix 0.5 were all built on the 2.3.15 release and then removed as much of the blur components as they could and still have it function.
Fission & Rubix 1.0 built from a base that came out of the Droid2 SDK which appears to be very stock Android and therefore, they are a little more 'blur-less' than others. Which is both good and bad. Time is showing that some of the blur components have some nice functionality that people are missing when they go completely blur-less.

This is absolutely true and was the same for the D1 except it wasn't Blur, but you can't build AOSP for D1 either without using the extract-files.sh to pull all of the proprietary components that make the phone work.
It's a basic truth about phone firmware.
can anyone tell me how the contacts list comes up aosp style or blur< i noticed blur has a thing to merge my phone contact with fb and twitter< without having to use the same name on fb and my contact info. please let me know thanks guys!!

Had rubix fallowed the instructions of installing the 2.3 detox then installing the tranq rom but the home buttion no longer works tried flashing the 2.3 rom still the home problem tried rubix after that.

I hate to say this, but maybe you should post this on either droidworld or another forum with an active thread. I doubt you'd get much support over here, not sure why. Tranquil. doesn't seem to be popular around here. I didn't see you mention trying a nandroid restore.... did you?

Its running pretty damn good for me. And since I have Tasker set up to sync my data every 30 mins, my battery life is great also. I'd imagine it would be even better if I set it to sync every 45 or 60 mins.
Love TranQ3.0, and I never thought I'd be saying that.

So far, I've had like maybe one or two glitches.... sometimes after a reboot the boot screen gets left on the lock screen, so you can still unlock your phone, but you have to guess where the sliders are.
another is that the calendar widget doesn't work.
Other then those two, the rom is FAST, stable, and battery life has been great. Worth it to me in my opinion... It's not an ASOP "experience" though... it's more like a hybrid.
Like it so far though, it's my daily driver.
Edit: Also, this applies to STOCK people (running the 2.2 OTA).... I was odexed, completely stock..... installed this rom with ease: no wiping, no formatting, nada. AND it deodexed my phone for me.... LOVE THAT.

I have bought tasker aS well (the stock rom doesn't let the os sleep when gps is enabled so I bought it to turn it on and off for all my apps)
Now I like your idea of syncing every 30 but I use google voice exclusively. And the voice app. Does that mean if I turn off my sync I won't get my messages in a timely mater?

This rom also doesn't seem to sleep when wick is on. Am I missing something? Anyway I do see how this can save a lot a battery with the screen dining and everything. I had to wipe my phone to get it to work. Last time I tried when I booted every system app was force closing. I feel like this is a little slower than rubix but way faster then stock. Could be too the drawer just doesn't feel right. Too bouncy for me to use quickly. Ill probably go to pro launcher. But if I don't want to how do I customize the 4 apps at the bottom? Its driving me nuts

The gist is: Is it possible to make a Captivate do this? I know that just about every Motorola android has a nice little reorienting animation when you turn it over. We (and by "we" I mean "you geniuses who know what the hell you're doing") managed to implement the now standard crt screen-off animation. Any chance at getting the "flip?"

All,
I was able to update my locked/stock Vivid to ICS using the RUU. Everything went well after locating the appropriate Windows 7 drivers. After using it for a couple of days, here's some random thoughts and questions:
In Gingerbread I was able to download an HTC battery widget from the HTC Hub. I can't find it now in the updated (ICS) version of the HTC hub. Am I just missing it? Not a big deal since I have Beautiful Widgets installed, but the HTC version matches the overall Sense theme better.
When using static wallpaper swiping between home screens does not cause the wallpaper to scroll. I thought it did this in GB, but I might be mistaken. Is there a setting somewhere for this?
Rearranging the lock screen shortcuts isn't intuitive. After a bit of trial and error I had the light bulb moment and realized that they are using the shortcuts on the launcher for the home screen shortcuts as well.
Speed! This ROM is fast, even for an arguably bloated stock offering.
Sense 3.6 is a bit of a disappointment after seeing the clean look of the Sense 4.0 screenshots. It strikes me as odd for them to offer (and then have to support) this interim version. The hardware is capable of 4.0 (speculation on my part) so this leads me to believe HTC/AT&T just want to differentiate between the One series and not cannibalize sales.
I'm loving the new home screen folders. Much more polished looking than Gingerbread
Bluetooth is performing better under ICS than GB. My wife noted that the call quality when paired to my Pioneer AVIC Z110BT car head unit was slightly better now. Less echo, but still not great. Likely a head unit problem more than the phone - the AVIC units are notoriously bad for BT performance.
Overall a very positive upgrade! I must admit I was shocked that AT&T would get this update out so quickly. I figured they'd drag their feet until after the launch of the One series if not longer.
-Brett.
I agree with you about it being a positive upgrade but I wouldn't exactly say AT&T got it out, I think credit for that goes to PirateGhost. AT&T from what I understand has only sent it to one person that we know of. I wonder what will happen when AT&T actually does try to push the upgrade in my area?
When I run the "AT&T Software Update" from settings, I get an error message, "Server Unavailable." So, AT&T is not yet putting out the ICS update, at least not in my area. IF and when they begin, it probably will take some time to get it out to all users.
I suspect the version currently in the wild was released for a little field testing to see what happens.
The AT&T update told me that my software was up to date right before I flashed ICS, so the update definitely isn't out in my area yet. When I got my phone on 2/25 the guy at the store told me an update was coming in 'a few months.'

That battery widget trashes battery life by polling the battery percentage all the time.
so far so good
I have been running on ics since the first night it was available and I think it is fairlly smooth and fast. Everything seems to work well but when i try to check for software it dosent do anything. But I am greatfull to Pirate and all who made it possible. I hate to see the devs going for sure. This seems to be a descent device for real and I hope we can get the dev's rolling again.

I hadn't considered that. Do you know if the holds true for the Beautiful Widgets battery widget? I would assume all battery widgets use a similar polling mechanism.
Does it make a difference if it's not on the main home screen? I would hope these widgets would be smart enough to only update when in view.

Good point. Was it ever determined if this was a test version or the final product? Any reports of anyone else getting the update OTA? The version number being 4.0.3 710RD does seem to sound different than other versions I've seen.

I went the RUU route and rerooted my phone to remove all of the bloat. To be quite honest I like it a bit more than gingerbread simply because it boots faster and manages the ram more efficiently. While the transitions between flipping through the sense pages is smooth, the touchscreen feels a bit "sluggish" compared to gingerbread. Sometimes it's downright not responsive and it takes an extra swipe to register my action. It might be an isolated event on my end but if it's not I'm just giving a heads up. Sense 3.5 runs well and it's still too soon to tell for battery life. I'll edit this post in a week after I give the rom some time to settle and get used to ICS a bit more.

I just checked and no. Now that you mention it I do remember a scrolling image but I can't remember the circumstances around it. Maybe it was a live wallpaper.
This seems to be the final test version sent to the carrier for approval. The official release is likely a couple of weeks away because it takes carriers about two weeks to sign off on it, unless they find something to change.

I love how HTC used to get so much **** for having a laggy UI with Sense. I was one of those who kind of hated on Sense and really dissed it. Now I have noticed TouchWiz has become the Sense of old. Bulky, laggy, and way too big for its own good. Kind of funny how the two companies have done a reversal. I used to purchase Samsung devices just to avoid the lag of Sense and other UIs. Every video review I have watched, the reviewer has complained of lag on the S4. For once I will actually stay with an HTC device until my next contract renewal. I feel it was done right. One thing that isnt fair though is that nobody seems to be giving Samsung the hard time HTC got about their overbloated UI overlay. What gives?
Oh, and the classic "The reviewer or people posting negative reviews and comments about the GS4 are paid by HTC" wtf, really? If someone doesnt like Samsung products they are assumed to be crazy and must be getting "paid off" to post negative comments? That's really unfair and childish of them to say. Anyone else noticing unfair biases?

I noticed that as well. Sense 5 is smooth, man. I haven't had any lag, outside of me messing with governors and such, and I've read several reviews that say Touchwiz is kindof laggy. People aren't going to give Sammy any **** though because they are the top dog. While I'm glad they are android (for now) they are in the position that Apple was not long ago...nothing they can do is wrong even if it is. It's a little annoying
I actually really like sense 5

My phone is bone stock, and will more than likely stay that way.
the only thing that seems odd to me in Sense 5 has been the lock screen..It kind of looks like its not meant for the current state it is in..It looks like it's set up and preparing for Android 4.2.1-2..Looks like they are preparing for lock screen widgets and I cant wait!

Not necessarily. Sense 5 has started becoming a little more transparent, and show's a lot of stock Android in it. I'm happy with it.

I like AOSP ROMs and all... but Sense 5 has some killer features that I wouldn't want to give up.

I agree. I've always preferred Sense in any iteration.
but I know that once some AOSP ROMs come out I'll flash and play as I'm a flashaholic.

Well of course there will be some testing. I'll have to flash a few ROMs to see what each offers. I wouldn't mind checking out Paranoid Android on here. :good:
agreed, the only thing i want in sense is quick toggles! i used them all the time on my GS2. Luckily the mod is already out for this. That and the MMS compression fix. Other than that its pretty impressive out of the box.
But yea when will we start seeing AOSP stuff? I know the phone is only out for a wk or two but I'm looking forward to seeing the development section start to fill up.

I believe there are people working behind the scenes on some AOSP stuff. One problem would be the new SoC Snapdragon 600. I don't think there is a reference device running android on this platform yet.
I'm really diggin sense 5 in general. Blinkfeed is awesome.. I always had a currents widget on my furthest left screen anyways.
One thing I dislike. Is that the app drawer still scrolls gingerbread style. I'd like it to be paginated.
And as for quick toggles like i've seen in a few posts. We don't want quick toggles! we just want the 4.2 update. Then it should be pull down on left 3/4 for notifications. Or the right 1/4 for the toggles that are just built into android now. The quick toggles of the past are pretty ugly in comparison.

I guess by paginated you mean horizontal scroll instead of vertical. I too find this odd as Sense 4.0, 4.1, and 4+ all had horizontal app drawers.
I also like this, but what I have done is make folders and put the apps in there so I only have one page.

Used to have it in Sense before it was even an Android thing. Best part of my EVO 3D.
This is the first phone I can say I may not even want to put an AOSP rom on.
Why don't the do landscape Rosie for Christ's sake?

The folders in the app drawer has been something I really like that I wouldn't have thought I would. Now I am down to 3 homepages instead of 5 or 7. Would be nice if they could hold more apps per folder but it still makes my app drawer so nicely organized.

Because eww.... No matter how cool it is, widgets and stuff just do not align very pretty. Surely you will get your fix with a custom rom.

What's up man.. Yeah the tower down by froggers on rock springs road has some descent reach but it dies off right in front of my house.. When they light up this boom tower behind OK Tires I think we will be set around here.
