I would like to start a thread that can be a hub for the new 2.1 .APK files that are usable on the Eris.
I have tried the current live wallpapers and will install but they are not visible.
Here is a link to the WeatherGenie from Nexus 1. http://download887.mediafire.com/iwj7jx90ftvg/xmtwizbmm3m/GenieWidget.apk
Here is the same app but transparent, you need to uninstall the regular one for it to work. http://sites.google.com/site/droidlife3/home/GenieWidget-transparent.apk?attredirects=0
Add anything to this list you know will work.
Please test before you post the .apk
Some more interesting APK from the Desire we could use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642189 From what I am seeing there maybe the update copy and paste included.

Are these tested? Please only tested .apks that we know will work on the Eris. Thank You!
I tested the gallery app. It works, unless you tilt the phone horizontal, then the screen goes crazy until you tilt back vertically.
I tested the music app. It works fine.
I installed and ran the clock app, I didn't like it as much as the HTC clock app, so I uninstalled it (it seemed to work fine)
I did not try either launcher.
I believe these are the extra HTC widgets we can't directly D/L fromthe HTC widget placer thingy.

I think that is it.
I got battery and dice in the marketplace 2.1 just like I did in 1.5.
Thought I would make it easy.

This one definitely does not work. Causes FC loop which requires some Home-button-timing to get out of.

This works, but is very slow, and breaks in landscape mode. (Not FC-breaks, but massive-distortion-breaks.

Again, FC loop. No leads on the cause, I'll fire up ADB later and try to track this down.
I posted this in the wrong spot sorry. Do not post in here but instead I will start one in the correct section. Closed.

Launcher2 works perfectly for me, on my Eris, but mine is leaked 2.1, so that might be the reason.
Most people are running the "leaked" 2.1 rom on this forum and seem to not have it working... Me included, did you do anything to get it to load? and where did you DL it from?
@Allow:
how are you testing it?
I ask because I too have installed the leaked 2.1 (as has everyone who has 2.1 on an Eris) and I get the FC loop when I click the home button and choose to use Launcher for the action.

i call shanningans..
OR maybe im completely wrong here and you may very well be that 1%.
got pics to prove you have it working?
I am also getting the looping and I am running 2.1.
Omg. People pease try reading around. Launcher2 will not load. The guy that said that is either a newbie that doesn't know what launcher2 is or just likes drama. Of course with screenshot plus video I will apologize. But I have logcats from trying to load launcher2 that looks for lib files we can't add with out root

With a total of 4 post in XDA I am going to have to say that the guy is both but then again I have been surprised before maybe hes discovered how to root the the Eris
The music app is the only one that fully works and it's not much better than the leaked 2.1 eris' music app. The clock wont do fahrenheit or bring up my location at all. This thread is a complete fail.

This is awesome. Hopefully this will be tweaked to be more stable.
Where can I find a dump of this? I want that "video editor" app.
I thought this was going to be lame like the Galaxy S launcher, but it actually looks pretty cool. I might try this out if someone gets it stable.
Has anyone tried this for the HTC Incredible yet?
LG Home force closes on moto droid. The home selector works well though.

Same!
I don't think I'll try this though, I'd love it if launcher pro did this, but there are things about launcher pro that I like, and won't give up for it.
Tried on HTC Incredible running virtuous rom.
And... This is amazing. This is my new default home.
Only 2 problems so far and both are not important.
1. if you try to use the picture frame the phone freezes. - no big deal just don't use it.
2. If you are in lg home and select it on the home launcher it will force close. - this is not a big deal either because if you are in the lg home why would you select it
Edit. Uninstalled this. Two big problems. Pressing home force closes. And randomly when browsing photos phone will freeze

Seems to work fine on the Galaxy S, might even replace Launcher Pro if I don't find any serious bugs, thanks!

I installed on my vibrant and so far is running great , I love it!
How do you install it ? Just flash both files one at the time? I have a desire with modaco rom
thx!
Works Great
You can place the apk on your phone from your computer and open it on your phone click on it to install.
By the way it works great on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000
Can I run these widgets in Launcher Pro?
Just did a quick test, and yes, not sure how stable they are, just switched to Launcher Pro, selected them and that was it.
Tested on Nexus One and works like the TS said, only force close when using the Home button but after force close everything works again. Pretty strange but I'm sure it can be fixed. Looks like one of the best launchers I've tried tough.
Works great on Galaxy S i9000 running froyo jpc. LG has done a neat job..
Force close really needs to be fixed
No matter what I do the apk's in the LG Home.zip is broken..
Tried lots of browsers and archive managers.
NO Work fine in HTC Hero with nfroyo 2.2

on my x10i doesn't work too, probably it is for android 2.0 or higher versions
It isn't available in the market any more on my Transformer, and it lists a very specific set of devices for said support. I wonder if there is a way someone can hack this into a working state?
LOL Skype doesn't support video call for android except for the Thunderbolt haha. And devs have been trying to port that over for months but unsuccessful so far.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
No, there is an update today that changes the UI quite a bit and apparently adds video calling for the Nexus S, Desire S, Xperia neo and Xperia pro. I copied the apk over to my TF and it works, but no access to video calling functions. I am wondering if I can trick it somehow.
Holy ****... The OP is right.
Skype has been updated to version 2.0.0.45, which includes video calling for selected devices (Nexus S and several others). It's no longer visible on TF in the market, but I updated it on my Galaxy S. It works on SGS, much better interface but no video calling.
Haven't tried this apk on TF yet, and I really hope someone can do something with it.
Edit: Beat me to it!
Gotta remember here.... "Android" doesn't really mean "Every device that runs every version of Android".
I believe there are some hardware issues to be solved to support front camera video on every device, you can't do it globally in one go for every android.
It appears honeycomb support is dropped at all, maybe they release a seperate version.
That's very strange, because I can find it in the market even if a lot of people said that it is no more available... but when I try to install it is saying that it's impossible to install in my device.
Is it normal to find in the market apps that you can't install?

I think you are referring to the online market while the others used the market app...
I just downloaded the app to my desire S and video called my friend , the video was actually pretty impressive. it started off a little pixelated but about a minute it in its was very clear and very responsive. the call was made over wifi.
happy.
Here is the info from the apk, if that helps. I tried changing my build.prop to match but after that skype just crashes.

I posted a working version without video calls on the previous page eh
Just a side question that I always want to ask.
How do you copy out the apk downloaded from the market your phone to the tablet?
(Like this Skype apk, its not longer visible for the tablet in the android market), but from your phone, you can download it from the market. Where its stored in the phone and how to copy it out?
Thanks for the info!
if you install appinstaller from the market it has a backup feature that stores your selected .apk file on your sd card in a folder called back up i believe. I'm sure there will be other back up apps out there but this one has worked great for me in the past.
Just got notified of a new Skype version on my tab. Seems like maybe they've allowed Honeycomb installs... anybody tried it?
Ye. Just installed. NO Video. Better UX imho

As the title suggests, I can no longer take screenshots with my nexus 4. I have screenshot ux, and it worked great until I updated to 4.2.2. Now, I can still take screenshots, but they just come up black. I have tried to reinstall the program, with no luck. Should I get a different screen shot program instead, or is there a known bug or something? I would rather not just abandon this app, since I am pretty sure I paid for the pro version.

You don't have to use any app, as Android has supported native screen shots since ICS. Just press and hold power and volume down.
Maybe the native screenshots and your app are conflicting since 4.2.2.
Hi, i got a generic android tablet momo8 and the front camera works like a mirror and I need it to work like a laptop does cos im working on a website that reads qr codes and it works fine in laptops but the android tablets wont read it correctly. I was wondering if maybe modifying the camera.apk it could work but i dont know much of java to do so and I need it kinda urgently to present it working to some potential client. If somebody could help ill be more than happy ...if someone know of an app that changes that mirror function it will be even better.
Thanks in avance.

Is it just on your tablet?
If it occurs on all tablets, you will not be able to do that by modifying the camera app as it is different for each device.
If it is a problem just on your tablet, ask in your device specific forum.

Yes its on every tablet with android. There should be a way to disable the mirror effect on the camera.. it cant happen that ipads work fine with it but android didnt think of reading qr with front cameras. There must be an app that changes that behavior of the cam

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but the android camera app does not read QR (or any other) barcodes. You would have to download an app to do that such as ZXing team's Barcode Scanner.

Ive created a web application that can read qr codes, it works on laptops and the idea is to use it by loading the site from tablets, when it loads the application it works well, it opens the camera with no problem, however the front camera by default works in a mirror effect so the application cant load the qr. This doesnt happen when the tablet has a camera in the back but i need to use the front cam. This is why i need the camera with no mirror effect and working just like a latop does

OpenCV and the methods used there need to have the openCV manager to be installed as a separate app (there are workarounds for this) for the libraries.
Bottom line is, you have to create your own camera app for this, disturbing the idea of a mobile site. There are (more or less) easy ways to implement camera, you are not the first one to bump into this problem.
