On 2.2 are disabled..i asked babijoee on 2.1 were enabled but now i don't know
Yea, they're not exactly ready for our device. One step at a time, it's not like everything is just going to magically work all at once.
Also, please don't create other threads when there are several you could've posted this in...
if you really want to use live wallpapers then you have to install the apk in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5877130&postcount=2592
fyi, most live wallpapers won't work and even if they do, the whole system will become really slow. have fun

Good they've included the official Twitter app - hope HTC stop using bloody Peep!!
Jammy sods ! All get a free htc evo i want!
Its meant to be out for N1 today!!
or is that not true as I read it on a site that reported the announcement.
if its out today then hopefully someone can start to work on the port to Desire!!
If it's out I'd imagine HTC are already working on it - as a prefered partner I assume they'd have it by now...

well HTC are slow at updates so would like a ported N1 rom for now till 2.2 with sense is out.
If it's already loaded on the Evo 4g they al got for free :-(, doesn't that mean its already ported to htc sense UI??? Shouldn't it be able to work on our desires as well???
With very little, if no, work yes...I'd imagine!
damnit, flash 10.1 public beta is available, but will only download for android 2.2 devices
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html#android
Yer, never mentioned anything to do with announcements,
other then some of the ad stuff.
The music streaming from the Pc is cool
check out the videos of flash, the framerate is awful
It is still BETA ... it is not using hardware acceleration is not enabled.

May be a stupid question, but is there anyway to extract the new version of sense from the HD Rom and add it to a EVO rom so we can have the new sense and all our other phone features working?

I think having just sense rosie, lock, music, etc is what he was talking about. A flashable zip to update your current Rom, not a camera broken port. I would love the same.
I believe is not possible since they haven't done it yet , but maybe we get an update with the new sense which imo it was supposed to be for froyo since all the features like backup all the apps is a froyo thing and we didn't get it in ours cause they wanted to show this.phone with 2.2 asap, and not another deal beaker like the hero

no thats not what he was asking if you take what he said at face value. he was asking something that he could have had an answer for just by searching or manually looking at pages past page 1

Im glad you know what people are meaning to ask
I would hope, that everything said is taken at face value and people don't try to look for some hidden message
I know about the roms floating around out there, have flashed a couple, but they all have something broken, hence "having all our phone features working." A flashable zip would be the ticket, that way we could update whichever rom we prefer using...
HTC weaves sense into android very deeply so it's easier said then done, but people are still working on it so it could happen. Even so if HTC sticks to their pattern and releases another towards the end of the month they may beat us to it. Either way it's not something you're likely to see in a flashable zip that can update ROMs, it's too drastic of a change.
Difficult :/
I have been working on such a thing for almost two weeks now. It started when I just wanted the new music ui. I tried porting that and then I found that after porting it wouldnt show up in the programs list so i needed to modify some files to get it in there. I got that far only to find that it would crash on opening. Further investigation showed that when you open the app it also loads the matching widget and DLNA stuff. I proceeded to port both of those also to find that the DLNA stuff requires a customized wifi stack. Still havnt fixed that but I also found that all of them rely on the HTC copyright apk which cannot coexist with the one already on the EVO that everything elce uses. Simply put, it would just be easier to port over everything than just parts. Sorry bud

Ditto, similar thing happened with me trying to port the "People Widget". Just to much stuff is tied together. In the meantime I am working on an app for Comcast Voice.
The new Dell's Stage UI is anyone going to port this for our desires ?
It's a bit early to say just yet, I've had a swing by the EVO Forums, it's still rough there, have to change the LCD density to get it working apparently.
There's a thread for it in the EVO Forums, where it's been seen working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830656
I've tried to search for dell stage in both the Dev forum and the Themes and Apps forum, s'all I got ha ha!
There is THIS though at good and evo http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/11/unreleased-dell-stage-ui-running-on-htc-evo.html
You could always try it out for yourself, I've no real interest in it myself, basically just Sense but looks worse, the app drawer is KILLER though, needs to be in LauncherPRO IMO
Ahh right, I'll have to keep my eyes open I don't even like dells products so don't know why I want to try their ui haha.

Wow that actually seems to work quite well. I'm surprised it's as easy as installing a few apks Not quite like porting Sense to the Nexus One (different kernel, dependencies etc.) lol..
Its really nice tbh. Also surprised its only apks and not flashing a zip. But it worked well on Defrost 6.0

The new version of Market will be rolling out over a fairly long window — it may take as long as a month to arrive on your handset, though it sounds like US users may see it sooner.

So what if my phone came with 2.1, but I have never updated to Froyo, except by way of cooked ROM?
Does google still recognise that I am now running 2.3??

Thanks for that!
does anyone else think it looks a bit windows phone 7 ish, and also very much like the honeycomb version and also slow with the downloading/refreshing of thumbnails frequently?
or is it just me...

To be fair, I'd say Swiping through screens has been there in Android for long, can't recall when exactly, but I think YouTube app was one of the first, the tiles do give out a hint of WP7, but again, I find the styling bit more close to Web version of the Market.
As for slow refresh, yes I do notice that too !! I'm sure will be fixed in future updates
the tiles on the front screen was the wp7 thing.
swiping left and right - didnt even cross my mind
Works on oxygen. But only then reallu fine, when pictures are loaded. But it looks nice.
Thanks for posting!!!

any one from the UK get Movies & Books... i dont (yet!)
Looks pretty good!
Yep looks really nice but with all this graphics downloaded each time, it really need a better handling of cashed images/icons. It's horribly slow until I allow it to load fully, and by then im about to throw the device out the window.

Yeah, google should also put an option to disable the preview page, the one with bigger images, for each category..It works good on wi-fi, but can't work on low 3g or edge..After 10 minutes i browsing the market, it downloaded about 16 MB of data..too much
Really want to install this but the amount of data it consumes seems kinda crazy.
I've been using the new Android Market for about a day now and I'm really enjoying it.The new layout is nice and gives the market a more premium feel. Some new great high quality apps would make it almost perfect.
Swyped using my HTC Desire
Hey guys! First off thank you to the community as a whole! I have just sunlocked my HTC desire z using guides found on this site and tried out a few different roms found here as well. I'm currently on cyanogen mod 7, but have tried out cm10 (jelly bean 4.2.1). Which was a bit buggy and kept getting android keyboard failed messages. Windows 8 (looked cool but couldn't get it out of chinese :0) so I found the cyanogen mod7 to be the most stable fo far...
Anyways, I love messing around with my phone and pushing my phones capabilities.
So what now? What have you guys done with your phones? I want to hear about all the cool stuff you guys have done.. why? well, so I can do them too of course!
In particular, is there any really nice widgets you guys use? I've tried a few email widgets and sports widgets but I find the email widgets are just not very effecient with multiple emails (I use 4 regularily) and the sports widgets don't update unless I click the widget to open it, complete defeating the purpose of a widget.
Thanks again!
