before anyone gets real nasty, I will just mention it... wrong section...Q&A is where you wanted to post
also the [REQ] tag is to request development, e.g. add OCR mode to Camera
but in answer to your question
yes... you can install Live Wallpapers found on the market
NB OCR in Camera was just off the top of my head, standalone apps on Market so no point

aslong as your phone has build.prop sdk=7 youll see livewallpapers in the market, most 2.1 roms have this in build.prop so just search
and might i suggest a wallpaper, LWP NexusMod <-- best one, but on the G1 might lag quite a bit

btw live wallpapers on the stone = i never wanna enable them on my dream again ahahah
is there such an app for the MotoGP like the Formula1 app?
Can't help you with that although I'd be interested in any answers too.
I do have an HDWall you may like though, it'll only work if you have no "Start" text at the top of your screen and obivously looks better with the clock/weather layout side by side, but if you want it, let me know?
Roll on 10th April.
that would be very nice to have...

I would be interested in it to. Does it come with that clock etc?
There wont be an official one. Im already dying because of this lag as well... I sent a question to the guys from MotoGP.com who also made the App for the Iphone. They said, that development for WinMo would be too much work due to the wide variety of devices and that i should not expect a programm like that...

Here you go mate.
It's not a theme, just an HDWall wallpaper. If you haven't used one of these before you'll need "Cookies HQwallpaper Patch" too, a search on here will find it.
For that clock/weather layout you need "Cookies Home Tab" with the "Advanced Home Tab" mod (again these are easy to find on here) along with a selection of the transparency mods from the stickies at the top of this section and the "Remove Start text" mod too.
Any way, heres the HDWall.
Good luck.
I created this thread so not to clutter the ROM thread with verbiage of add-ons. Thank you so much Darchstar for a great ROM !!
!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684202 ( ROM LINK )
Now that we have a great (AOSP ) ROM for our Hero’s, we can start sharing themes, launchers and many other add-ons that work and have been tested on the Darchdroid v2 ROMS. Hopefully this thread will grow.
Being the first I would like to share that LauncherPro Beta ( can be downloaded from the market ) . This launcher is great and very fast .. almost 100% customizable and can be set to have up to 7 screens …
screen shots of launchpro beta at work..
Agreed on launcherpro.. I was using helixlauncher at first but launcherpro seems faster.
Anyone find any themes that play nice? I have tried 2 so far and got boot loops on both.
As for launchers I'm partial to ADW Launcher for Darch's rom. It's quick and very customizable which is the best part. Has the froyo taskbar look with 2 customizable main shortcuts and an app drawer for additional apps. Also gives the nifty swipe left to right for the main app drawer ala iphone, and the SenseUI style jump out screen preview.
My favorite feature by far though is the ability to hide the notification bar. Gives a really nice way to show off your wallpaper, especially since you can set it so the home button shows and hides it again so you can still check it.
http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/category/adwlauncher/
EDIT : Also a question for everyone else.. is it possible to get the rotary lock on darchdroid? When the update comes out I'm probably gonna see if the metamorph for it will do it but I doubt it :/
Anyone check out Beautiful Live Wallpaper. Runs great on Darchdroid.

They have a weather skin called none to clear out the images on the widget so you dont always have 2 suns or 2 moons...I dont know if you really care but it irritated me having the repeating image.
How would a user go about using MetaMorph and this rom?

I dont know about a message widget but I'm fond of the pop up for hand cent.
Also I want a good calendar too and maybe a better alarm clock.
UPDATE 5/19
Here is dropbox of new music app. It works outside of the launcher also, but doesnt have that cool look. Outside the 3d launcher it looks kinda like ours
®download new apk.
®get a system app remover. Search the market.
®use it to first back up, and then remove your old music application.
®find new music apk and instal.
®start launcher, (you downloaded both zips below and and installed everything right?)
®hit the thanks button

UPDATED 5/17
Hi all.
Let me start off by saying. . . I have no knowledge of porting or modding and was extreemely lucky to get this far. I need some dev help!
Here is my attempt at porting a landscape only 3d launcher for our tab. Works on 2.2-2.3.3.
It is a beta/alpha version.
I say beta/apha because some things dont work yet, but it runs very smooth. So I am calling it that.
This was originaly a launcher for anouther tablet (advent vega tab) and I believe it is called 3d Home Launcher Screen for Vega. It was designed for use with a Tegra processor.
Here is a link to vid of it running natively on its original device.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-4k62ln4j4
Did some tinkering, reading, hacking, slashing and harassing. . . . . lots of cursing
And. . . .
I got it installed and MOSTLY working . A few thing still need work.
Let it settle in. It has its own cache, and needs to build it. Restart the launcher maybe twice over an hour period. Its been running smooth, finding and playing all audio/video files. It created its own audio and video thumbnails.
®Music app DOES currently play music. It is visually stunning.
®Video app DOES play video.
*No google search bar. Thats okay. It was kinda cool tho. It caused FC's. Anything that caused fc's has been taken out of the uploaded version.
*Animated Weather widget shows weather but doesn't show the three days of the week buttons. It's just a black box that now turns to the next city. Maybe font is not installed. I am looking for it.
*It dissables two soft buttons. The search button and menu button. Long pressing the search key still brings up voice search. And pressing menu in apps still works. Pressing search button in an app still works.
Download launchkey and remap the long press search key to open search instead of voice search
*Button on right of task bar does nothing, I took out the Guide. It was for the original Tablet. Maybe it could be modded to open another app?
*Dock bar seems a little visually kooky. Black boxes under each icon where it is supposed to say name of each. Maybe font is not installed. I am looking for it. Also maybe this is because it is for a 10 inch tab screen and ours is 7.
Maybe a few things more but I cannot remember.
Guys, I think I am getting close, but would like some help, please, as I have no idea what I am doing.
®download both zips, unzip both and install all files. Sorry bout two zips. XDA has a size limit. Can anyone help make a CWM Recovery flashable zip? There is alot to install, and I dont want anyone missing an apk.
®works on any dpi.
®there are more widgets but currently they cause the forceclosures
®let it "settle"
®Devs focus on the *'s this is what I need the most help in

I have on my Desire ages ago. Have they actually updated it or does it work fine?
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
I dont know if they updated it, but it works smooth on my 2.2.3 beta 2 overcome.
Netfront life screen: my only gripes so far is no orientation change. And the annoying need to click on the desired icon, it scolls to "home" then you gotta click again to open it.
And it would be awsome to have the circle centered in landscape on the middle bottom, or middle?
Kinda why i want the 3d launcher ported
I guess running netfront and circle launcher is the best 3d we are gonna get till someone ports the 3d launcher.
I've just been trying Claystone Launcher from the market, its a beta but works ok, no landscape mode, and app draw is slow and laggy, but other features are very good, i follow this and hope it will be nice and fast at some later date.
More info here:http://www.appbrain.com/app/claystone-launcher-%28beta%29/com.claystoneinc
It's from Advent Vega Tablet. i raised the same question some time back but no one seems to be interested.
I dont know why. It looks freakin sweet. I just think the people who, unlike me, can just dont want to. Everyone else waits for other people to do it. I bet if i had it posted available to instal right now, the download counter would be smoking.
Cmon guys, take a look and give some input. If you dont wanna do it teach me how. Id love to learn how to port things like this.
Here is a youtube vid on it running natively on its original tab.
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?deskto...e.com/watch?v=G-4k62ln4j4&v=G-4k62ln4j4&gl=US
Does nobody have an opinion on this launcher? Do we want it ported?

I would be interested in this launcher, seems interesting. There is a lack of tablet optmized launchers.
btw, here is the working youtube link..

For correcting the link.
I ripped the stock launcher out of a toshiba and its a pretty sweet launcher. Its definetly different that anyrhing we have available now.
If you wanna check it out, i can pm or email it to you as i cant upload.
It works great on any lcd desity, i have it on 182 right now. Using this in conjucture with circle launcher makes my tab visualy awsome and very unique.
I also have the dell stage launcher its a great portrait launcher because unfortunatly its resolution allows you to see part of each screen to the left and right in landscape mode. Still works in landscape mode, tho.
It is also diff than the regular old adw launcher. It has some widgets also.
I am in the process of ripping out every stock launcher i can find and trying to get it to work on the tab.
I am gonna start a new thread soon with all these in one spot that work on the tab. I am not gonna include launchers you can find on the market. Except in passing mention.
Do you think that thread is a good idea?
Hi !
I was looking for a way to add more pages to android home, I use the sense interface and it has some many widget that I think that it's a shame to use just 7 ..
Also I was looking to a way to change background to the all app menu ( I know that probably isn't possible but I really can't understand the thing of the black background...)
any help ?!
Try a different launcher - most of the third party replacement launchers let you configure the number of home screens, backgrounds, etc.
Just open up the Market and search for "launcher" - Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, Zeam Launcher and ADW Launcher are popular ones - have a play with them until you find one you like!
emh actually I forgot to mention that I would like to do this with htc sense....so I think that those app can't help me !

You might consider sending a pm to CookieMonster. He did things with HTC Sense on Windows Mobile that nobody including HTC could do.
He doesn't seem to be around much anymore but here is his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792303 Maybe someone from his team may have some thoughts.

i know but I doubt that he would like to work on this considering that hasn't been active for a while. anyway I'll give it a try.
and yes manila was much more better in my opinion...android is to close and some of its properties are bad...it's not possible to have a menu app with forced black background...also the stories of only 7 pages is stupid...
No customization at all !!
I use adw launcher and its great. You can change the icons on the bottom row along with a main button. You can change the amount of icons that are horizonal and vertical. Change scrooling all kinds of cool stuff.
Here is the .apk. Not sure if any other files need to go with it as I havent installed it in awhile.
Numerous different ones. I actually might try something different.
