WORKING LAUNCHER2.APK for 2.1 roms

Ok This is by no means my work, I'm just promoting the mod of another developer.
ctso came out with a working launcher2.apk yesterday. There's no 3D cube effect of course, but it's still smooth. I found it looking around the androidspin.com database
http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=ctso/MOD/&file=Launcher2.apk

eh, broken link

alright it's fixed

Sorry for asking but how do you install this launcher?

Worked for me. Pushing apk to phone now. Very excited to see how this works out. I've been using GDE and maybe Launcher2 will actually replace my replacements?

it works just like any regular apk. I just put it on my sd and installed it with astro

Before anyone whines, it does NOT work on OpenEclair 1.1.5 (I tried this morning), however there is talk of making this an incremental update for the next stable release

Well...back to 1.6 I go ^^

now thats hot!
smooth launcher....rename zip to apk and install via astro and walla.....nexus schmexus!
BTW....im running Kings latest 2.1 Eclair and it works like a charm

Works great in G1/KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 [v1.4], but it could be faster.
I just don´t like that the icons in the apps list are a little bit transparent..
Nice work

Not working for me with OpenEclair 1.1 for me at least

Brilliant
Works fantastic in Klick 1.5, very speedy. "Cards" work well, swiping is pretty smooth most of the time, app launcher is a little laggy but easily livable. Great job!

When I try installing with Astro on my G1 running Cyanogens latest, I get the "Launcher could not be installed on this phone." error.
Any help?

Seeing as you need 2.1 (or 2.0.1, I think it works on this also)

This.................... ROCKS!!! xD
ITS WORKING AS SMOOTHLY AS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY SMOOTH O_O lol

I know that this is for the 2.X ROM's, but as I lay here with my fez, smoking jacket, and monocle on, and a cup of Tanqueray in my left hand, I ponder can this be back ported to the 1.6 ROM's.

I don't think so, as the launcher 2 relies on the 2.1 api's and frameworks (eclair should I say)

And I was more or less saying, it MIGHT be able to be done, but you won't know until you try it. I'm sure it could not be done, but then again we thought we'd have to wait on HTC for camera drivers

lol just realized I can't use most of it on 2.1 yet.. no camera. Maybe I'll be the one to fix the camera...

is this for every android version or just 2.1?

It's only in the new (1.6 and up) market, but the above posted APK works in every version.

Yeah sorry, I didn't mean it doesn't work, I just meant in the ROM im using, the camera doesn't work, which in turn would make the picture searching, well.... useless lol

Just tried it out on fresh's rom, works great! way better than shopsavvy imo
thanks!

its compatible with 1.5?
i downloaded it straight from the market place
and im running gumbo 1.5c

Sweet! Does Google Goggles by chance run on 1.5? If so can someone upload the apk?

Just to let everyone know, Google Shopper is, in fact, available in the 1.5 market. Guess we all didn't look hard enough, or Google flipped a switch at some point in the last day or so. At least I'm seeing it on Gumbo's 1.5c naturale.

Ditto. Works for me on Gumbo 1.5c, but I think I prefer Shopsavvy to this because of the local results it offers along side the online ones.

Not showing up in Market on TTG ROM. Tried searching "shopper" and "Google Shopper".

Works on Fresh...tks

It works great on my phone. I will have to compare to shop savy and decide further tho.

Running Gumbo 1.5c and I do not see google shopper in the market.

Thanks, works well... but its in american, anyway to get it into UK prices....?

Why not just get straight from market? Any difference between yours and markets?

Google Earth released for Android

But still no love for firmware 1.5. This is starting to get a little ridiculous.

this is great. I have been waiting for this. If you update to the 2.1 rom you can get it. It is running pretty stable for me right now.

Still no love for 1.5? From here on out there will be no more love for 1.5. Pretty soon it will be extinct, so there is no need to give it love. It sucks, but its just all the more reason to get pumped for 2.1

Nice find. Thanx for tipping us off on the find.

Yeah, I've tried it on the AOSP 2.1 load from darchstar and it doesn't load. Kind of weird though, it doesn't FC, just zooms out and then back to the home screen. Probably a GL issue with the version that is in that load. Anyone try it on flipz/toast's rom?
Didn't realize that was you up there toast. Have you tried it yet?

Not really an option if you care about using the camera, which I do.

remember all that spamming sprint and htc about the source code for the kernel, and how ultra unsupportive I was of the spamming etc?
well anyway... this right here is a legitimate time to spam sprint about wanting SOMETHING in their catalog that will run google earth. Verizon their main competitor in the cdma realm has a phone that will run it and sprint does not, threaten to cancel your account if something isn't done soon.
Let them know you want it. This will hurry up the process... spamming about not getting a source code for blah blah... they don't really know much about or care about isn't going to help.
But Google earth is a big deal. In their idiotic minds this would make sence and they will push it up the chain... I promise this one would work to get us 2.1 quicker.
Also: don't mention the navigation... sprint has their own remember? I'm sure they aren't too thrilled to have a free alternative out there that people will probally be useing but google earth is uniquely something that they don't replicate with any other service.

Damn it! Doesn't work on the AOSP 2.1 yet.

Angry Birds Poor Quality?

I noticed Angry Birds doesnt like the Hero...You can still play it but all the landscape is white and there are no animations on the birds like the feathers and such. Is this the same for everybody?
I got to say this game is super addicting lol

Yeah is the Same for me Here. But if you run Sense the program will FC a lot. I'm running CM6 and it runs great.
Currently on the First Level. 3/5

Task something to do with 3d drivers. Like I can run need for speed fine on my hero, but my buddy's vibrant shows up with wall textures white. The opposite of angry birds. Lol

CM6 here as well and no FC's.
I wonder if they will ever have a reworked version that will work on the lower end devices. I have a few buddys at work that want the game but there lower end android devices wont play it.

I am having the same issue in NFX 2.2.1 w/ friendstream, NFX Sprint Stock .7, and CM6 Blackmod.

Whew. Glad I'm not the only one. Android 2.2.1, CyanogenMod 6. Someone please help with this. It makes an already difficult (but really fun) game harder.

That's funny because I played it for four hours straight last night on Nfinite's stock odex and didn't have a single FC.

If I want to go to another ROM, is there anyway to save all Angry Birds Data, All level i have passed?

I was just about to make a new thread about this. I got the game yesterday from getjar.com, and compared to the iphone 3GS, Angry Birds looks and runs like crap on our Hero. I've tried on my NFX stock .7 ROM overclocked to 691, and on my girlfriends completely stock .7, and they both are the same.
Why is this? I've searched youtube and it seems to look and run great on other Android phones. As far as I know, doesn't the Hero have better hardware than the iphone 3GS? Can we expect a patch for this game?

it runs great on my phone. using cm6

Define great. Does it seem super smooth like it's running at 60FPS? Are you getting any missing textures (objects on top of white shapes)? Are all animations/effects present (like feathers exploding from the birds)? Have you seen it running on a 3GS?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-hjAY0XpvE

haha ok i see what you guys are saying, no i hadnt seen it played in the 3gs. Mine doesnt have the textures on the hills either. i thought you guys were having problems with it not operating properly like lag.

I was able to get the APK off getjar, but now I'm trying to find it on the market so i can get updates, and it's not there. any thoughts? even tried QR codes
running CM6 nightly builds.

noticed that yesterday... then got to the second level and cant get any further because I cant tell where there is a whole in the terrain. Disappointing.

Definately runs faster for me in CM6 than it did in Fresh 2.4. I didn't get any FC in Sense either, it was just laggy at times. Still have the texture issues though in both though. Mine was installed from a downloaded apk. I read some in some places that it was available from the market, but I couldn't find it in the market.

Does anyone have other Android phones they could test this on? I'm wondering if its happening only on the hero.

My wife hasnt complained about anything other than not being able to get past a level =) I am guessing her EVO runs it fine.

I'm glad I looked here first. Great game, impossible to see on my HTC Hero. Kinda sucks because I was having fun playing it.

in not new to android by any means and i have no idea what that is lol wana explane and maby i could help u out i feel so noobish lol

OpenGL ES 2.0 was publicly released in March 2007[1], eliminates most of the fixed-function rendering pipeline in favor of a programmable one. Almost all rendering features of the transform and lighting pipelines, such as the specification of materials and light parameters formerly specified by the fixed-function API, are replaced by shaders written by the graphics programmer. As a result, OpenGL ES 2.0 is not backwards compatible with OpenGL ES 1.1.

It works! This is fun, currently playing with this ROM paired with P3Droids lv250 1200mhz kernel. Runs extremely well all things considered.
Aside from the the bugs mentioned the only other issues I've found are
- Two seemingly identical stock gallery and email programs installed. Neither of which can be uninstalled via app manager.
- My computer does not see the phone when plugged in via USB and phone does not ask to connect to computer. I have not done anything with ADB yet.
- The phone will auto rotate horizontal when the keyboard is opened but will not rotate back when closed in some applications.
Ill post/edit if something new comes up

Hi there. I'm the guy that put this little thing together. I did not build this myself/from source. I just happened to take a few things that were working on various builds and glue them together. It does play 3D games and what not, but since the accelerometer does not work, it doesn't really do a whole lot of good. I'm not sure exactly what OPENGL version it has, or how to check it, but if you point me in the right direction, I'm sure I can figure it out for you. (Found this in the Build.prop: # The OpenGL ES API level that is natively supported by this device.
# This is a 16.16 fixed point number
ro.opengles.version = 131072)
As far as the issues, they have been well documented in the original thread on DroidForums. Just to break them down for you though...
Broken:
1)GPS (which also causes browser and any other location finder service associated apps to close when attempting to locate.) You can use a different browser, or set home page to something other than Google.
2)Accelerometer. I'm assuming it is because there are some new sensors included in Gingerbread. I thought it might have something to do with the akmd file, but I've tried a few different ones with no luck...
3)USB Storage. This is an easy fix with an app in the Market place called Multi Mount SD. They have a free and paid version. Dual Mount also works. These are widgets and must be used as such.
As far as the "duplicate" apps, they are different versions of the same app and are easily removed with Titanium Backup.
Most likely, this is not your every day rom. I have been using it, because it's fun to run something you had a hand in making, but it's not considered stable. With that being said, it's the easiest to use rom that we have available and no other Motorola phones really have anything else better, so enjoy what we have.
Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas / Insert whatever gives you warm and fuzzy feelings here.
PS. I am not a dev, so really can't trouble shoot anything too effectively. I've been trying different things to fix the issues, but have not had much luck. I was hoping some devs on DF would pick up on the interest in this project and be able to figure it out, but not much luck so far.
PSS. Definitely suggest flashing another kernel once you set the original rom up and do a nandroid. A lot of the 2.2 kernels work. I've had the most luck with Slayher interactive ones. Try a 1200 one. It's pretty quick...

No can do, sorry. I'm not a dev, so I wouldn't even have the slightest idea how to do such a thing. Plus I dunno anyone with a Milestone to play with. From what I understand, it is quite a pain in the neck due to the differences between the GSM and CDMA.

Bro i used this it work but the camcorder isnt working and it kick me out of the browser.

but it feel like 2.2 os with some add on with 2.3 os.
When will the hacker get a stable 2.3 os with full feature from 2.3 os???

Not sure about the camcorder. Mine works for me. The browser thing has been discussed many times on all Gingerbread threads. You can't go through the browser's regular home page because location services is not working. Internet works if you:
A) Change the home page to something other than Google.com
B) Get a different browser.
C) Go through the Google Search Box.
It feels like it is 2.2 with some add-ons, because that is exactly what 2.3 is. It's not a major OS revision. Most of the work is behind the scenes dealing with memory management, speed, and such. If it's not faster for you than 2.2, that's odd (if you have not flashed a new kernel with this, highly recommended). There won't be a fully functioning rom till someone is able to figure out how to get some of the proprietary drivers rewritten to work with this boot.img. Not exactly a task for a beginner. Motorola certainly is giving any handouts, so be happy with what ya have.
There are people working on it though, you just have to be patient. It's not something as simple as, "Oh, I'll just add this or that file and everything magically works."
I'm glad some of you are enjoying it though. Blackdroid's team is working on an Alpha. Still broken accelerometer with half working GPS. Hopefully in the next week or 2, he'll push some more stable builds out. Until then, just use this to show off and have a back up of your favorite stable rom. Take care...

There is a Brazilian dev trying to port the Ginger to the Milestone.
The name of the MOD is "ShadowMODBR" but it's not complete.
The Froyo version is great btw. I'm very exciting to try the Ginger version.

Hey man I think you should get yourself the CM7 rom and get the stuff you need to make this a perfect rom, in CM7's version for the D1 GPS and accelerometer work perfect! and it also has the tv animation when the screen turns off.
Id love to see this rom working 100%

Just to let y'all know we were able to get the screen on and off animations to work on the cdma hero by using this guide posted buy the rom dev aosp I don't know if the Numbers will be the same on the Droid but if y'all play around with it it might work http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Screen_On/Off_Animation
