Also HTC keeps them locked down a.k.a there there not open source thats why u cant use them with ADW or any other home replacement. I hope that helps you understand it a little more

G2 Launcher dock

Apparently its customizable, but I can't figure out how. Anyone else tried it and managed to change the dock shortcuts?

A system dump of a test rom has been released. Got special giggle Voice widgets and a new stock Launcher.

Screenshot shows new GVoice widgets and the new Launcher. Not any different, except more screens and an apparently customizable dock.

No. It's launcher2 from the G2 system dump.
This screenshot should show it a bit more; no home app has screen previews like Launcher2.

gonna try it on cyano 6 final
On Sense ROM's it won't work like it should. Problem is, that the phone application isn't installed.

What phone app? The stock one? It'll use the HTC one. Quote a few sense roms have stock contacts and dialer anyway

Only if you adb push it. ADW is configured as stock Android launcher on CM6 so you'll have to remove that to get this

Intermittent problem with DHD

Hey guys sometimes when leaving some apps ie. messages, or phonebook the white screen with htc will flash up and then a loading sign for a second or two its quite annoying does anyone else have this problem?
Yep, I get that from time to time too... it's as though Sense crashes and restarts automatically...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Anyone else having this issue?
Same on htc z and sometimes on good ol' hero. The "homescreen" crashes id say.
-- sent from htc z using xda app
Yes very occasionally
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I guess this is better than the entire device locking up, necessitating a battery pull... which I've so far not had to do in the month I've had the phone. Could argue it's good coding by htc. And hopefully future updates will minimise this issue further...?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
yeah its just the sense launcher crashing used to happen rarely on my legend to, but its easy fixed you just change to another launcher
since a couple days, same happens to me...but i dont know why. its not with a special app when i close it, its just randomly when i go back to the homescreen, but i will definately change to netfront life screen, as soon it becomes more customizable...i like the idea
not had this at all, although i did have 2 complete restarts a week ago.
i have a off-topic question. i am playing with adw.launcher and launcher pro, but how can i use the htc widgets...especially the "setting" widgets maybe the clock widgets too...any ideas?
r u guys using any automatic task killer? I am using a HD2 with DHD build but not facing this problem after i uninstall any task killer app

You can't when you use another launcher you lose all the htc widgets if I was u I would use the skins in the app section they are superb and for some strange reason my phone its quicker now but they do look better also

wich skins you talking about, htc sense skins?
btw is there a good app, which i can use to map all the "settings" functions, like airplane mode, ringtone, mobile connection on off, wifi, bt, phone profile... i found widgets but alwasy for one function, is there not a widget where in can configure all that...so idont have to download 100s of widgets
Sure, just try Quick Settings and Quick Battery (Android Market). Highly recommended.

[Q] Original HTC stock apps-Android

I have a HTC Desire and I recently installed a Gingerbread ROM with Oxygen, and I really miss the HTC flavour. Is there any way I could have HTC Sense or at least the stock apps back on this rom?
P.S.: I hope that I didn't post in the wrong place...
The gingerbread Rom is an ASOP Rom, sense programs will not runn as they need the associated HTC files also, if you run a sense Rom with another launcher over it you will see the programs will run but the widgets won't load, again they will only work with the sense launcher. You can get apps that replicate the look. Get Beautiful/fancy widgets for the clock, but the best is to get launcher pro and pay for the extra, the widgets are very similar

I feel ya bro. Get fancy widget to hold you over till its Ported.

I found those apps in a rom, and as you said, it ain't work... It doesn't even install, only the camera app which crashes.. I wanted HTC Music back, but, fortunately, I found the Honeycomb leaked Music app, so it's cool.
Does the contacts app work in Oxy Ginger. I like the facebook pictures sync. Now all of my contacts are without pics

The Sense contact app won't work. Try SyncMyPix from the Android Market insread. Perhaps it can help.

When you install another launcher app sense launcher can be frozen in titanium backup. But it shouldn't run on its own because it hasn't been called by the system to run.

Oww ok. But one more thing. Why install a sense ROM if your gonna install a different launcher ? Wasn't sense roms meant for there widgets.
Also when froozen, sense apps disappear like clock music etc.

I like to switch to different launchers on sense sometimes so I don't have to flash a different ROM to change things up once in awhile. I'm starting to think aosp is just too boring for me. I like sense and miui lately.

The Sense camera is phenomenal, it's part of the reason I get drawn back to Sense. There's more to Sense than just a launcher, ya know

Question about .apk?

Can anyone explain to me, the reason why an apk won't install in this example:
* I extract Facebookchat.apk from lets say coredroid rom. I try to install it on my phone which is running Black Ice rom. But it just keeps saying "application didn't install" I thought an apk would install universally as long as it's compatible, which it should be right? I just wanted the Facebook chat on this rom. It's happened with other apk files too, but then it will let others from the coredroid install on here?
Sent from my Black Ice'd Glacier using xda premium
Copy the apk to system
Set permissions to r/w, r, r
Then move it to app folder in system
Reboot
HTC apps won't install on phone that doesn't have HTC framework.
If you'll force them on it, they won't work anyway.
APKs aren't universal. There are framework-dependent APKs.
Yes, I just tried and it didn't work. I can live w/o fb chat, but I really like to have it. So there is no way Jack_R1?
Sent from my Black Ice'd Glacier using xda premium
They have fb chat in market i believe.
You can wait a bit and stay with Gingerbread Sense, and when Desire HD and Desire S get their ICS Sense - it'll shortly come here, and you'll be able to enjoy it together with FB chat. Currently all the ICS builds are crappy/buggy anyway.

2 of them, specifically, Facebook Messenger and Friendcaster has a "chat" option. plus there are things like IM+ that are a all in one service.

Actually I have used Friendcaster Pro for over a year, and just discovered the chat application, and it's basically just like FB chat..thanks.Also I have been thinking lately, Im not sure why I flash different Roms, as I am addicted to Go Launcher and the Go Keyboard. But the Black Ice with Go launcher combo is awesome together.
As for the ICS Roms, I too find them kinda too buggy for my liking at this point, and I truly am not complaining because I know devs work very hard on them. But I did try the creamed glacier and it looks cool as sh!t.
