Android Home Replacements - Click General

Hello people.
I have a question.
Currently, there are only 3 custom ROMs with Sense UI:
MoDaCo
fyodor v0.5.3.1
5faif
For MoDaCo to get properly working Market Patch, you have to pay 20$ USD for a subscription. Tried many ways but he didn't want to install Market Patch.
Fyodor's version with Sense UI is REALLLLY outdated and newest versions doesn't support Sense UI.
And finally, 5faif ROM is also REALLY, REALLY outdated, also it has for me unwanted swap enabled (don't want to ruin my SD/NAND)
So, I have a question.
For all the other ROMs, there is no Sense UI. So, what are you using as Home alternative? ADW Launcher didn't work for me (Force Closes). Also, what widgets?

ADW works fine here on fyodor rom 0.6.3.1. It's the best home replacement I saw so far.
Maybe you are trying a wrong version (versions >=0.7 are for android 2.x).
Or maybe you are installing it wrong (you have to flash it as update.zip through recovery).
Also, after upgrade from 0.6.3 to 0.6.3.1 i had to reflash ADWlauncher because it was keeping forceclosing

There is a new version of market for donut that works fine. I just installed this version on new 0.6.3 version and I haven't any problem so far.
And there are a lot of other home replacements that work on tattoo(home++, GDE, sweeter home, zeam, ahome...)

GDE is the best of the bunch for me, tried all of the others, and too laggy/slow. GDE is super quick, has best visuals, and some really good features like an application dock.

i installed awd but i have a problem with a g-sensor...it gived me an error everytime I rotated it...i was forced to disable the screen rotation from settings any solution?

CthulhuROM 1.6 is also with Sense UI....

I recommend "Helix Launcher"

I use Zeam, best home ever with Android 1.6 (Android 2.x => LauncherPro)

Is there a Hong Kong version please?
no hong kong version - will be based on either EMEA or NA roms in this version...
Loved the rom, works great with my liquid e. It is really fast and responsive. Loved the fact that it wasn't loaded with bloatwear, and the inclusion of fancy widget is a great touch. I missed the HTC keyboard from LCR but I just trew it back on there. My only worry is how hot it gets while charging with the OC, so I've been using set cpu to turn down clocks during that time.
Thanks so much for the great rom (my favorite so far on this phone). It's great to see such a talented Canadian DEV.
yes the heat bothers me too - using setcpu I lower clock while charging to 576 and also if >44.5 C I set throttle on cpu to 245 min.max - this prevents most overheating IMO and I use a bumber case which makes it much hotter with no airflow
I would not call myself a DEV though as Im just #team7zip lol
I push files and sign them toghether! glad u like it though
maybe someday I will be a dev not today though

If you will flash LiquidE bin on Liquid it will work
Market?
This rom works fine on my Liquid (ie. not a liquid E), also I have it overclocked and haven't noticed a heat issue - I am using the black silicone case from France (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370383448432&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT )
I have a question though about the Market. I am able to access some paid apps but not all of them (in particular the HappyCow app and Contacts Merger). I used the market-hack in Malez recovery, still no dice. I am able to download them using your 2.1 roms on my Magic. And, strangest of all - I am able to download them on the LCR 1.7 Rom!
Wanted to make sure you were aware of this limitation. If there's a way around this, I'd love to know. Right now to update I am re-flashing an old nandroid backup of LCR then downloading the apps and backing them up from the old rom.

Wifi fix
I see the note that we should flash one of the kernels to fix the wifi but what is the wifi_fix file? I am assuming if we flash that, we don't need to flash another one of the kernels?

Root + Get rid of TouchWiz ?

Hi,
So I just successfully installed JP9 firmware and I have Froyo running perfectly on my Galaxy 3, but there are several Orange apps pre-installed which I want to get rid of + the ugly TouchWiz UI.
So first I'd like to know how to root G3 and then get rid of these two things.
Many thanks for your help.
try titanium backup... it can remove any system file..
Absolute system root is what I used for the exact same thing. To bad you'll have to "pay" for it.
You could also try doing it via adb but for some reason that rom didn't have read\write capability.
Oh and whatever software you use, don't delete oranges home screen selector. For some reason the rom wouldn't launch for me after that.
Oh2 and be sure to have alternative launcher installed before removing any launchers..

Orange ROM is restricted to the user and applications. My suggestion is to upgrade to a much faster ROM of Froyo, that is precooked. This will remove your Orange branding on the phone (i.e. debrand it) and will mean you can remove any unnecessary applications still on the phne). In it's current state, because it's Orange's Firmware, there's not a lot you can do to it.
I'm Orange branded, used z4root, and Super Manager to remove the Orange crap all apart from homescreen selector. I removed Layar and Thinkfree Office too as never used. Left TW on just in case want in the future so don't know if that would break it but the rest is now gone for good and I have 20mb more phone storage
id suggest keeping touchwiz as a backup launcher expecially if you are using a third party launcher
you can get rid of touchwiz by installing launchers like laucher,adw,golauncher etc .
or use this awesome theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149113
..
When i got my phone i immediately installed Kyrillos 5.7 so I have no idea how TouchWiz works. Is it that much worse than other launchers that everyone wants it gone?

[Q] MiUi ROM persistent issue

Hey people...I am a BIG fan of MiUi ROMS and want to use them very badly...but a problem that i have been facing is that no matter which build I try, my phone restarts randomly...
I have searched heavily on this article but have been unable to find a solid answer...I have tried the Superuser trick (of allowing all apps, n even turning superuser off) but nothing seems to have worked.
The latest ROM which I tried was the mix miui ROM by (the demigod) MccM
Can somebody help me out? Thanks!

[Q] [Nexus 4] - Stock ROM (4.2.1) - [Questions]

Hello Friends,
Finally i got my Nexus 4 (Amazing!!!)
Anyway , i have few question regarding the phone , functionality.
1. By Native - the Home-screen comes with 5 screens .
Is there anyway to decrease the amount of screen?
2. The "recent apps" screen contain many apps.
Is there anyway to close them all instead of 1 by 1?
3. I have seen on a custom ROM , there is an option to add additional buttons (back/recent apps/menu etc...)
Is it anyway to add the same?
Anyway this is what i have found on a stock rom.
Thanks in Advance.
For number of home screens, you can add a custom launcher - Nova, for example. It's even faster than stock and much more customizable. You can't do much with stock launcher, though. But it's my favourite.
However, you must flash a custom ROM in order to use a "close all" in recents, or maybe there's an app for that, I don't know.
For custom navbar, custom ROM is your answer as well. But not every ROM, CM10.1 probably has it, or AOKP...

Why can't I add all widgets to the homescreen?

I have tried updating my F to three different, new Lollipop ROMs (for different reasons), and none of them will let me add Go SMS and a few other of my regular widgets to the home screen. Is there a general bug with this? I came from the first Lollipop ROM from around March or so and had no such problems with that. But it was getting so full that I couldn't even update apps, and there were a few other things that didn't work as they should, so I needed an update. I have the latest ROM Kies wanted to give me, which is from May, for some reason. There are several newer versions, but that was what Kies gave me. The Nordic update from June didn't help either. Any idea what this can be?
Try installing Nova Launcher and setting that as your default launcher, see if the widgets will add to the homescreen then
It's a million times better than the stock touchwiz launcher anyway
Thanks! I tried that, but it crashed when I put in Go SMS. But Apex worked.
