I saw that you can now get to the stock motorola task manager by going through settings->eclipse parts->motorola performance manager, but is there any way to get the app link back in the app drawer like the stock rom? I like having a direct link to the task manager on my homescreen and the closest I can find to that now that I'm using Eclipse is a link to Settings->Eclipse Parts.
Eclipse 2.2 is freaking amazing though compared to the stock ROM. It really does feel like a whole new phone!

So, I want a clean install of a stock Android rom for my Legend. I've had the Hero and I've had to wait for the updates. I like SENSE, but It's not a necessity for me. A lot of apps give same or better functionality to the phone than SENSE does.
I just want to be able to install the latest greatest straight from Google.
What you want. ISN'T POSSIBLE ON THIS PHONE!
em Yes it is,
Lots of sense free G1 and Hero Roms can be ported to the Legend. It just hasn't been done yet.
I am in the process of porting G1 Froyo Beta, but it isn't ready yet.
OR you can turn the Sense UI off!!!
and u will get the basic android 2.1 UI.
goto settings then applications and turn it off there.
i hope that helps!
I've found that Sense is glossy-bloat ware and I don't want it on my phone anymore. I'll search around and if a solution isn't within reach, I'm getting the Nexus istead.......annoys the heck out of me that I didn't in the first place, seeing the experience I had with the Hero (getting 2.1 NOW).
hmm i prefer sense i see it as the best GUI over android!
I'm working on a clean build based on:
- MoDaCo Custom ROM for the HTC Legend online kitchen - r2
- LauncherPro (nice Home Screen)
- HTC Dialer
- HTC Camera
- Removing All other HTC apps (peep, stock..ecc.. since i we have better apps on market)
p.s. actually its working but i need to fix some. Anyone got the apk with original LockScreen?

I meant Google Eclair Lock Screen.
Ahah, sorry, missunderstood you
I've been looking into that problem with lockscreen, and the Eclair version is not kept in an apk. It is in the android.policy.jar.
Im working on getting it working with my senseless rom
Base: Froyo 3.26.605.1 RUU + November OTA included
This is based on stock ROM with OTA update included. Stock Kernel included (2.6.32.17). Sense has been removed (Rosie and all widgets). Includes Gingerbread Keyboard and Launcher. Also includes the Motorola Connected Music Player. All changes noted below.
This has been tested on OLED version of Incredible and with Radio 2.15.00.11.19
Everyone should have S-Off at this point. If you don't go do that now! It's not required to flash this ROM but is the best safeguard you can take with our phones.
Change Details
Removed:
Amazon MP3
CityID
Teeter
Visual Voicemail
MyVerizon
Footprints
Slacker
Vcast

ROM is fully Deodexed and Zipaligned.
During Flash, three folders will be copied to your SDCARD.

you mean Samsung TouchWiz?
Yes. It was included in my older ROMs but I have left it out as I have had no lick getting the Samsung widgets to work. The Android widgets still work fine with it, though.

Hi everybody
I like the Froyo ROMs, with this ROM I used the Hidden Application section to hide some applications of the eye of anyone, but I am testing with gingerbread and I do not see this useful area. Does anyone know if it is on gingerbread or was removed on this new ROM? or How do I can hide an application with gingerbread?

Hi back, I presume one the Froyo, the Launcher was LauncherPro. That is why it has the "Hidden Application" section.
This Launcher can be installed easily from the Market ( some other recommendation such as ADWLauncher , Zeam Launcher etc )
Default Launcher in Froyo&Ginger, doesn't support hide application directly, if I'm not mistaken. Hope this helps

Thank you very much I will try with a new launcher thanks again.

Ok thought I would take the rubbish out of the dev thread.
So far I have done this:
Flashed JVT from start with custom .PIT file. Speeds up Ice Cream sandwich, I've tested this and it works great. Visually no lag and it works on top of any lag fix you do after wards.
[HOW TO]

So here it is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43088692/12MB_Gain_NAND_Symlinked_Modem.bin.zip
Download and instructions - Everything you need is in that zip (its not a CWM zip by the way) load it to your PC and unzip. Follow the PDF print outs I have included and also as an acknowledgement to ykkfive's hard work (this references directly back to coolya's work from XDA https://github.com/cmsgs/utilities/tree/master/pit-stuff)

1. You can do this by taking a CWM Nandroid backup of your current setup.
2. Flash back to stock using Odin and the files I have provided in my drop box zip file.
3. I have added modem.bin file, script manager apk, buszybox apk and superuser apk for everyone should they wish to test the script and modem on the base JVT setup that they just flashed.
4. When it works correctly boot into recovery and then restore your CWM Nandroid backup and viola your done
5. Boot up - NB: You will notice you have no reception until you run the script in script manager.
You set on moot the script to run and in ICS it seems to work better than on JVT (where I had to initiate the script even after checking the onboot function).

Swype for Ice Cream Sandwich - I am so effin sick of the stock keyboard. Went on the Galaxy Nexus pages for a rummage around see what I could find?

Nova Launcher! Yeeeew finally a replacement. ****s on the standard launcher, can make GOSMS my sms app in the dock setup just how I always wanted it. Go Launcher Ex fails big time on ICS so don't bother installing it (even though I love it) the animations on GO Launcher cause big time crashing hahaha test for ya self for LOLs
You will ditch the stock launcher in an instant once your on this. It allows resizing of widgets and app draw also has widget draw like standard launcher.

Ice cream sandwich clock download from market. It looks like the clock in the pictured icon of the clock....not the gay looking analog clock that comes with it that I tried for ages to work out how to change the skin when you can't.
Haven't got a link for it atm but its in the Market so just download from there.
Feel free to post up anything additional that would be helpful

Whats the difference? I am running a tweaked version of MyUI ICS ROM on my Phone and freakin rocks!
The MyUI version of the ICS ROM based off OneCosmic's RC 2.11.
- List of Mods. 1% increments on the battery using the similar style to Perka's MOD of Elin ROM ICS. Uses the ICS font for numerals upto 100 and has blue lightning bolt whilst charging.
- Uses Nova Launcher and Glitch Kernel but with the nice white standard Google boot image and tweaked Boot animation as well.
-Center Date in notification dropdowm menu
Drop box is here:

anyway to stop vibration on lockscren?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I think there is, u need to search in settings of the phone.
Thanks alot, Ive been looking for swype and a good and proper replacement launcher!
swype thread link broken?
didnt find a way to disable vibration on lock screen. if you disable haptic feedback in settings, it still vibrates.
furthermore, the vibration on haptic feedback is very high and not configureable.. thats annoying. disabled it, using now a keyboard with custom vibration length (htc_ime mod, yeah - still running under ics)

That one doesn't work after i tested it. The look of it is nice but the apk is made for a much bigger phone. It stretches too wide for the screen lol.
I went back to FlexT9 keyboard. By far the best swype out there that I have ever used. I keep deviating but I keep returning back to that old faithful hahaha. The issue with ICS is that it won't let you over ride the standard ICS keyboard to use anything other than native. So you need to freeze the keyboard apps with Titanium Backup. Then install the keyboard of your choice...in my case FlexT9. then I go and remove the apks from system/app like LatinIME and any associations with the standard keyboard, dictionary etc and put them in a folder on my SD card for "just-in-case"....cause that Justin bloke has saved me on many occasions lol.
I managed to use SwiftKey X without any problem - I do not need to freeze the stock ics keyboard apps.
i guess u knw wt i have done ..
You've found my very very very old thread that I started when ICS only first came to SGS...hahah
Hey,
Looking for a few things if possible.
First, our task manager, trying to get it on my wife's HTC Inspire, if possible.
Next, the new notes and tasks stock apps from the stock ics Rom update (I stayed with Gingerbread).
Thanks for the help.
