Hi guys!
Now that we have 2.1 and Androids nice gallery, is there any way to get a simple shortcut to the android standard gallery in the app drawer instead of Mediascape?
I know its there because some Apps that let you choose pictures for whatever reason use it and not Mediascape, but I have not found a way to simply open it from the app drawer...
i have found the APK for gallery but doesn't seem to work, have a play see if you can get it working?

No luck here...
dammn SE, could have at least given us a choice
Lol man just download ADW launcher and create a shortcut fot the Gallery activity
it actually works
people in this forum seem to surrender too easily
Or you could just add the Picture Frame widget to one of your home screens. Clicking the widget takes you to the 3D gallery.
Picture Frame takes you only to the 3D Gallery once and when u select the pic u want to use u cant go to gallery again just by clicking on PF widget. What to do then? I want that gallery and not mediascape
I swear I saw it one of the eary vids of 2.1 :s

Creating a shortcut to the gallery activity works nicely, thanks mate!
Would be nice to have it appear in the app drawer though...
But is it possible to get the shortcut over to the standard SE launcher in 2.1? I kinda liked the new default launcher, well compared to the old one in 1.6 :-D

Most of all because it looks more like ADW
stock music
IS THERE the stock music player in 2.1 or are we still stuck with timescape
I think its this app: http://www.cooliris.com/mobile/nexus-one/
I already tried to install it but it fails to update or start.
They are all there, just hidden that is all.
the APK's are sat in system/app/ in the root directory and the handset.
All you need to do is make a link to it and and you will have them there.
Oh thanks Chewitt, I didn't know there was a built-in media player in 2.1. That one works fine and is very fast! Fu mediascape

yeah its called Music.apk
ctrl folder gives you link o 3d gallery and a folder option

Also with LauncherPro
A. Now, that we have 2.1, I recommend using LauncherPro instead of ADW - it is much more powerful
B. As suggested for ADW - if you want to create a direct link for the original gallery APP and the original music app, just create activities shortcut (you will find the gallery and music apps in the activities list).

install either launcherpro/ADW dont set them as default home. turn off phone/restart select home and not either of the installs (launcherpro/ADW) you've done. now your in the standard home page select the shortcuts you want to drop on one of your 5 screens and its done. i've got the gallery/picture frame and music player, then uninstall launcherpro/ADW, your shortcuts will stay but the option to find them will be gone from the shortcut maker menu
i think this will work

or try the apk on xeviro's post
Sense roms come with 3 workable rosie buttons. With Some rom's you have phone, apps and one assignable button(pre set for internet)
heres my request. The mappable rosie is only good for apps. Shortcuts can not work.
make and app that can covert shortcuts to assignable apps (to be used in rosie), or find a way to make shortcuts assignable to the rosie.
I have a folder program that once assigned to the spare rosie button, would allow unlimited apps / contacts or shortcuts (as the user sees fit) all in a scrollable, pop up window.
Result would be a plain home screen. Yes, I could put my shortcut on the screen... just dont like one there!
Thats it... With the assignable rosie to shortcut, would allow a simple clean look!
#Note. I'm sure I'm not alone here with wanting this! I use launcherPro and have used ADW ex, for the main reason of this app request. Many apps or shortcuts right at your finger tips. I love sense, but hate the rosie (hense thats why thousands use adw or lp)
make this app, put in on the market and make Money!!
Anyone figured out how to create folders within the apps drawer or at least reorganize the apps yet?
I was looking at another home launcher like GO Launcher EX, but want to really test out Sense 3.0 since I've never used it before...
I am running the stock Rogers rom (2.3.3) and am rooted.
The phone came preloaded with 'phone' 'internet' 'email' and 'applications' shortcuts at the bottom of the screen (like so http://www.androidincanada.ca/web/c...9_with_three_year_contract_54999_outright.jpg). I would like to replace 'email' with the Gmail application and possibly add messages to the list. These items however can not be dragged around like normal home screen shortcuts/widgets.
How can I do this? I am rooted!
I think your best bet is to use a different Launcher that you can customize. I use ADWex it lets you chose from lots of different dock bars and you can use any icon you want or even edit the icon. Just be sure to download Home Switcher so the you can go back if you dont like the launcher and If you like whatever launcher you chose you can delete Twiz launcher all together with Titanium backup since you are already rooted.
Thanks for the reply, I would ideally like to keep the stock launcher. Is there a way using root explorer to change the path of the email icon so it goes to gmail (or even messages)
Can i not change the icons that are used in sense in one of the homescreens? i cannot get it done with the apps simi folder or folder organizer.
The icons are changed but the changes are not visible on my sense screen.
Does this mean i have to shut down sense to get my own favored icons on my homescreen?
And if that is so, how to shut down sense and install another icon organizer (and which one)?
I would look up different launch apps on market. Launcher pro is good ex launcher is good. They offer different ways to style ur home screen.
The most you can do without root is hiding parts of sense with other launchers and themes.
So i can't tell this phone of mine within sense that it should stop starting sense, but some other launchers will do that for me?
And again: it is NOT possible to change the icons within sense?
I managed it with Phlashcut, but then i don't have the icons available that i want to use.
edit: I guess this will do the trick
edit edit: With folder organizer i did it. Modify in the tool and place the icons on the homescreen as widget of the organizer.
