Nexus like navigation panel?

Is it possible to change Hero Sense navigation panel ( the one which is in the bottom, like semicircle ) to one that Nexus has? Or even android standard one?

You can change to android stanard very very easy without doing any modification of your phone.
Go to your apps list and select "htc sense" or "touch flow" whichever is what you see and then click "clear defaults"
Then press the home button.
At this point it should give you an option to go home with either "home" or "touchflow" click home and you have default android. But will not have any of the htc specific stuff e.g. widgets.
You can always revert back by clearing defaults in "home" in app screen (assuming you set it as your new default)

do you mean from this to this? i to would like to no if this was possible i think it looks so much better

Yes it's possible to add the Nexus One style launcher. However, I believe it'll only work with 2.X roms.
THANKS TO: REVOKED
Download LAUNCHER2.APK
Then:
adb remount
adb push Launcher2.apk system/app
Voila!
If it doesn't work, rename it to Launcher, and it'll just wipe it over the top.
If you have any problems, let me know and I'll sign it as an update.zip for you.
BE WARNED THOUGH: Due to the demanding graphics, although it strangely runs MORE smoothly than the stock Android 2.1 launcher, it can on occasions cause your phone to SOFT reboot.
Happy to help!

Actually the modifications to Launcher2 to make it work on mdpi devices were done by me... Says so at the source posted by jnwhiteh .

couldn't install it on Modaco 3.2 Beta 5

Thanks for the Launcher2.apk. It's working wonderfully on my GSM Hero running KaguDroid 1.2.1.

No need for that, just copy to sd and install it with a file manager or with adb install from your hd.
To remove go to Settings:Applications and remove it from there.

No development until we can figure out what exactly is breaking and we can fix that... hopefully itll fix itself next month when we get HTC 2.1 framework.

I have been using it since yesterday afternoon with no problems (cept when I tried to use the Nexus One Live paper and got stuck in a reboot loop ) Awesome work man, now my phone feels like it has 2.1 on it!

Desire SMS / MMS APK ported to ACE

Hi all,
Just in case anyone is interested, I have ported HTC Desire's MMS apk to my ace running on GR v1.1.
Some features
1. Change app background black or white
2. Change attachment save folder
3. Custom User Agent (Spoof Phone as a different model for MMS, though i have
not used this so far)
4. Customize font size from list available
5. SMS template gestures
Edit 1: does not allow more than 11 contacts (sam's original did not allow more than 10) ... very bad
Screen shots attached.
MatrixLoaded
Edit 2: Steps and Apk attached
Standard disclaimer apply and most importantly below process will wipe your data so take a backup. (may be there is another way to put app without wipe but i know only this one sr. members, pls feel free to enlighten me of that process)
requirements
KPN FW (i have GR v1.1 so i think it should work on all KPN)
Rooted, deodexed, Root explorer or file explored and recovery 4.0.0.9
steps
1. take backup on your original mms.apk from system/app via root explorer
2. put attached MLmms.apk to your sd card
3. rename MLmms.apk to mms.apk
4. use root explorer and move renamed mms.apk to system/app (don't forget to mount rw)
5. put permission as r-xrwxr-x (after this you might not see the icon on the menu eg tw launcher in case you use it. but don't be afraid)
6. reboot into recovery and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
7. reboot normally and you should see the new app.

Which means it's for KPN , right ?

Hmm i'll rather use our themed one. If we need extended functions i'll go for third party apps

Thank you so much. I'm not satisfied with Samsung's Messaging app, and I hate the ones on the Market.
But, uh... Is it just me, or is the link missing/not available?

Have not put in the link delibrately ... just tryin to see if its worth wasting everyone's time (personally i liked the font size and other stuff, but 10 contact limitation is killer)
In case you want the apk, i can share with steps ofcourse

SGS3 themed Accuweather widget

Hi everyone,
----Attention to anyone on CM9 wanting to use this package-----
The zip seems to be causing some trouble with CM9 and some users have reported having boot loops after flashing (only on CM9)
If you are on CM9 and want to use the package please push the files across manually to where they need to be.
eg. /system/app and /system/etc read page 2 of this thread for detailed instructions.
**************Update 08/06/2012**************************
Another new update v1.2.1
fixed CWM package file...
added some permission xmls from touchwiz roms, and some libs etc. Hopefully will fix the problems some have been having again with the package.
Link updated below in downloads.
**********
Sorry to those of you who are on a CM based rom who weren't able to get the zip to work, I've updated the zip so it should work on CM, I am unable to test as I'm not on a CM rom so can someone please check it for me and let me know? Thanks.
Download link updated below.
ps. 100 downloads in less than a day!
***********************************************
I like many others have been working hard to port the SGS3's lovely widgets, but like everyone else, I haven't had any real luck ripping them, it seems samsung worked hard to make these ONLY available on the SGS3, but I guess it is just a matter of time until someone is able to port them.... hopefully
Until that time, I decided the next best thing would be to use the SGS2's ported accuweather widget and theme it with the nice images from the SGS3 widget
The background image is semi-transparent and changes depending on daytime/night time/cloudy weather
Have a look at screenshots
Daytime -
Night time -
Cloudy -
Installation
Copy zip file to phone
Then reboot into CWM and flash this file.
Clear dalvik cache
Reboot and enjoy
**If you already have either the digital clock widget or the sgs2 accuweather widgets installed, I would suggest to do a backup with titanium (just in case you want to revert to your old one) and then uninstall them**
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?r90ug8t219kd5sk
If you are happy with the app please hit the thanks button
And if you are really really happy feel free to buy me a beer / donate
In the zip, there is also a digital clock widget, with the number images from the SGS3 ported over too

1st post! welcome to XDA.
Can you tell me which rom are you using, maybe you can try to manually put the files in /system/app and set permissions to 0 , 0 then r-w, r, r,
Did the install with CWM say it was sucessful or not?

Cyanogenmod 9, also setted permissions..

However as you are on a Touchwiz based rom you might be able to get the real sgs3 widget to work from Twics latest 1.5.1 update see here it is a big pack which adds on a lot of content to your phone and changes icons etc. if you dont want all that stuff I can edit his CWM package if you want so it just includes the widgets...
Here is the link, http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4dwy7yvy5ekhj7i
I edited out all the other stuff and you just have the new touchwiz launcher and the sgs3 widgets. Just put the file on your phone and flash with CWM, I can't guarantee it will work, but if you are on a samsung rom your chances are better than the rest of us I think, let me know how it goes.

New zip added to OP for those of you who are using CM roms, sorry the last zip seems to have only worked for some people, this one should work for everyone fingers crossed.

thanks for the heads up with this link, I'll try it out

Yeah but... Touchwiz is... just touchwiz ^^'

It's atm not working for me too. I manually copied these two .apk Files to the /system/app Folder. After that i have wanted to change the permissions but i guess i failed that way...the permissions seem to be basically accurate... Help me guys please

I have just updated the file in the OP, version 1.2
now includes added touchwiz permission xml files and some lib files to system.
Hopefully with these added files it will work for everyone.
Let me know if it works

I use an app from the market called 'super manager' download that and go into the 4th tab to the file manager, once you are in the file manager choose 'back up level folder' up the top of the list, choose this until it takes you back to / (which is root) up the top you should see '/ (r/o)' then go to system, (when going into system it will ask you if you want to modify the file system, it will give you three options 1. do nothing 2. read only, and 3. r/w choose R/W. Now you are in the system folder of your phone, but be careful here because if you change something without knowing what you are doing you could have big problems.. ok now go into app folder and find your file, it will be near the bottom, it is called accuweather.com and under that it will say 'samsungwidget_weatherclock.apk'.
Once you have found the file choose the tick box next to it, now down the bottom of the screen you will see a list of icons; home, copy, cut, paste etc. now slide across to the right and you will see 'attribute' the icon has 777 on it.
Ok now where it says owner: set this number to 0
and where it says group: set this number to 0 as well.
under that you will have your permissions.
you can set owner to read, write, and execute
you can set group to read, write, and execute as well
and you can set other to read, write, and execute as well
it will also work if you just have owner as r-w-- group as r---- and other as r---- but try the above settings first to see if that works for you.
Now you just have to reboot and your widget should install properly
I will assume that you are on a rooted rom though?
And please try the new version 1.2 in the opening post too
Let me know if you have any troubles

It's working for me.
actually i did'nt even have any delay opening the dialer earlier.
maybe someone who had this problem can try and report.
at least there is no boot loop or 'stuck at m logo' problem ,so no harm in trying.

i want to add gosms in memory... the app name is com.jb.gosms..
what line should i add??
sys.keep_app_1=com.jb.gosms OR something else???

if you already have contacts in memory then ,
sys.keep_app_2=com.jb.gosms
also you can check app name from package browser located in setting>developer option>launch tools

This works great. Tried it.. all the apps added to local prop take no time to open... thanx a lot... :good::good::highfive:

Do i have to set specific permissions to the file?

Found one thing about editing local.prop
Found one thing:
After entering the app name in local.prop file leave one line blank at the bottom otherwise even if u save it, phone says no changes made... and apps u added in local.prop file won't be locked in memory.. Hope i helped.. :good:

Great tip, thanks . Locked phone in memory, no more delays now.

EDIT:
when you create local.prop it already has the minimum permissions set (666).
so i don't think there is need to set any permissions.

It keeps your app's in memory all the time.
you can try it if your app's load slowly.
go to /data folder using any file explorer.
create a new file named 'local.prop'.
open it with text editor and add these lines :
sys.keep_app_1=com.android.contacts
sys.keep_app_2=com.android.mms
now save and reboot.

Thanks a lot!
Hope discussion in the main thread wil be over now.
I was in the ' camp' a phone is (still) a phone primarily (for me at least)....

Sd card?
May local.prop be on the sd card in the folder /mnt/sdcard/data ?

how do i create local.prop file.....can u tell me full steps and is data folder is on sdcard

Guys, the path is in the phone's memory. The / sign means the root of that file system.
To make it clear: if you put that file on the SD card the phone will EXPLODE .
