EDIT: it seems as if a lot of people are having problems with this. about half the people get it working, and half don't. i recommend that you test out Launcher2 first before setting it as your home launcher. I'll try and see what's going on and why it doesn't work right. for now, though, pushing the libs is confirmed to make lwps like the nexusmod on helix.
EASIER WAY: USE RECOVERY TO FLASH THE SIGNED ZIP ATTACHED ON BOTTOM.
okay, so konikub posted the market app that gets the nexus launcher working on our ROMs, but it seemed a bit slow and the app drawer wasn't very intuitive for me, as i had to press the back key and everything for it to work. so, i found out a way to get the REAL nexus one Launcher2.apk to work on DamageControl v1, but i haven't test on fresh 2.0b2 or anything else.
the main two files that are needed to get the launcher2.apk to work seem to be libRS.so and librs_jni.so
since i used waffle 2.1 as my first ROM and the nexus launcher worked, albeit unstable at times, i looked there first. when compared with DamageControl, the necessary libs are missing.
so, the libs that i'm posting are taken straight from bikcmp's Waffle 2.1 ROM.
it's a pretty simple procedure, since you're just placing the libs in the right folder
step 1: extract the libRS.so and librs_jni.so to a folder where you know the location
step 2: push the files to /system/lib
Code:
adb remount
adb push <location of libRS.so> /system/lib
adb push <location of librs_jni.so> /system/lib
adb reboot
step 3: install launcher2.apk
Code:
adb remount
adb push <location of Launcher2.apk> /system/app
adb reboot
and then it works!
so far, it's been stable for me after a few reboots, and i don't get any force closes like i did when i used it on bikcmp's waffle ROM.
any problems, just pm me or post a reply.
if things don't work on the first try, like your bootscreen just keeps on going and going, just reboot your phone. after i set it to my default homescreen and rebooted, my bootscreen kept going on and on and on, even though the lockscreen and whatever else was definitely loaded. i'm not using the htc lockscreen, so i knew where the unlock button was, and when i touched there, it vibrated. i could 'unlock' the phone but it stayed at the bootscreen.
so when in doubt, just reboot
see below for all three files. i put it all into one zip for convenience.
enjoy!
EDIT: oh, and live wallpapers DO work. i've tested some from the market, but it seems as if (AGAIN) it's the nexusmod one that doesn't play nice and freezes your phone but i do recommend the Substrate (search Substrate in market) lwp, they're pretty fancy and they look nice too! performance isn't too bad either
Konikub requested a flashable zip for this. it's in post #5, but for those who are too lazy to scroll down, i'll post it here too
naturally, its named launcher2-signed.zip
UPDATE: i just tested this, but JIT works if you use this launcher! just follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637419
when i first installed it, though, my bootscreen just stayed and kept going for a good ten minutes. for some reason, the lockscreen still 'worked', as in you could unlock the phone underneath but it'd still display the boot animation. i just pressed the SEND+END+MENU button combo to reboot the phone, and it worked! if you get a few FCs at first, just make sure you press the 'Force Close' option. if you reboot again, it should work.
there's always the possibility that it'll screw up your phone(not a brick, i mean like it wont boot, etc.), and if it does, just go to recovery and follow the instructions to restore dalvik w/o JIT (in the link).

launcher2 works out of the box on my testing rom, just push it to /system/app. i already have the necessary libs in place.

well, i guess it's for people using damage's and fresh's rom
This might be pushing it...but I have been with out a computer screen for a few days now (it died), and have been running off my hero since. I have no way to pushfiles to my phone...is there any chance you can package up the launcher2 apk to be flashed, and I will put it on Darchs ROM....?
Thanks either way man!!!!
Question, does this launcher have the 4 shortcuts cause thats bout as slick as have 7 screens and as sliced bread.
konikub: attached!
Tipharet: no, that's only in the helixlauncher app
it's a nice feature, but this is just for those who want the 'real' nexus one feel to it, with the 3d app drawer and the dots on the bottom. otherwise there isn't much of a difference.
though personally, i prefer this to the helixlauncher.
Just curious, does the nexus launcher still have the sense widgets enabled? Say im just trying to take Rosie phone,app,and add button away; all I want is the little square down at the bottom that leads to my app drawer.
This knowledge will also help in development of a custom UI I am wotking on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Side note: like one of the other posters, I am not familiar with the sdk or changing files through the computer. However, I managed to root my phone, andinstall a custom ROM, all FROM MY PHONE.. Never once did I connect to my PC. Point being, Ive basically cooked my own roms from my phone. I am running DamageV1 and through terminal emulator was able to uninstall the bloatware that came along with it. I have a DamagedPancake LOL. Is it possible to push these files through t.e. or could someone post a update.zip that woulde removie just the RosieBar and leave only the boxlauncher?
Cheers
is there way a to revert back to the default sense ui?
sinistermeshes: unfortunately, you can't keep the sense widgets and not be using sense itself. something about the framework prevents you from being able to access or use HTC widgets if you aren't using sense. i also don't believe you can make the sense bar only be an app drawer. there was a thread starter a few days ago about mapping the buttons to different areas, but it was deemed not possible, or at least probably not going to happen.
the signed zip that i posted here only makes your phone's homescreen look, act, and feel just like what it does on the nexus one homescreen. no htc widgets (i know, i'm sad too =/)
vox: yeah, you can go to appliations and clear defaults. but the best way is to go to the market and install Home switcher. its very useful when dealing with homescreens and all.
works 100% perfectly, thanks OP.
personally, i started liking the helix launcher better than nexus, it allows only 2 screens, and you can put icons on the bottom. and, after pushing the libs, the nexus MOD wallpaper in market works with helix launcher!
im so happy right now
Really nice work.. All we need now is to remove the black notifcations bar and replace it with the white one and we can have a AOSP-Like rom
Just did this from my hero and it worked like a charm thanks a million for the signed zip I freaking love the nexus launcher and its really smooth
i cant seem to get the nexusmod lwp to work.. i downloaded it but i dont know how to set it.
i don't think the nexusmod lwp works if you use the launcher that's included.
but, if you use helixlauncher, it does work.
but first, you have to manually push LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and LiveWallpapers.apk to /system/app. they're posted on another thread, i believe.
i got it now i had to flash livewallpapaerpicker.apk

I tried running it with hexilauncher and it just froze my phone...
justin, thanks for the lib file find. got the "modded Nexus" working with helix. I think I am going to stick with that just for the 7 screens but great find man.
NexusMod only works with helix. but its a bit laggy. if you use it on any other homescreen like nexuslauncher or home it just crashes.
Do we still have to push the lib files even with the zipped file that you provided... I nay have to wait toll I get home then
anyone gotten live wallpapers working??? i downloaded several and they are not in the wallpapers...
okay, so we all know that the 3d gallery app had some issues when you rotated the screen. it'd get all messed up and stuff cause the resolution of that was for the nexus one's screen(a lot larger than the hero). so i'm assuming that because of that, a lot of people would just rather use HTC's album app(just an assumption)
but, i realized when i was testing out darch's aosp rom(darchdroidv2), the gallery app rotated fine. so i'm just posting it here so anybody who wants it can have it
now, obviously, this isn't my work or anything. i don't know whether or not darch edited the apk to make it rotate right, or whether he got it from somewhere else, but still, the credit goes to him for putting it there. i just found it
attached below.
It's something in the ROM that makes it rotate fine, not the .APK. I've been installing the same .APK in every ROM I've tried and the first one I noticed where rotation works was the new DamageControl. Rotation with this .APK is still messed up in DarchLegend.
yep men is fixed thanks and i running fresh 2.0.1D
Thanks for sharing. This is better than the one I found previous.
hi guys.i am new to xda.but I brought an gift to all the people who are using android 2.1 aka eclair.if you like the gallary in froyo there is a perfect way to use it on eclair.i ported the 3d gallary in froyo to eclair.but theres a main point to remember it works only if ur mobile supports multi touch otherwise it will be just like 3d gallary on 2.1.
you can follow me on twitter at wiineeth
all of you can download my app from the website given below and enjoy froyo gallary
10x9.com/xh
doesn't work... tried to install and got message "application not installed". I'm using HTC Hero.
This gallery is not from Froyo, it is a dump from Nexus One ROM...
btw: run on Desire
it runs on my htc hero (cronos droid 1.7) though the Gallery3d icon isnt showing.
why didn't it worked on ur device.
it worked perfectly on my desire.
sorry in the hurry I didn't kept the icon
THis version of Gallery3D ROCKS! the only thing I personally would like fixed is the Gallery Icon itself. If that can be fixed, this will be the perfect Gallery 3D
Moguledyouth thank you .
I wantedly kept the icon,
because you would be confused between two gallary images will be same
I removed my other version, this is the only one I need, is there any way you could do an alternate version with the correct icon? I use ADW Launcher and with it I can have Icons without labels on my home screens, so the visual image is clutch.
sorry Moguledyouth
I don't have enough time.
I like different.
I don't like to keep icon because every one does.
I would recommend you to use zeam launcher.

Working on my acer liquid, only issue is that it keeps saying "loading" "loading albums and photos" even though every image and album has already been loaded.
Hey there,
I tried ur gallery and it working fine on my milestone accept it wont show thumbnails for my videos...anybody know why?

hey guys despite of some bugs I hope all of u liked my app.i noticed that the open home,a home etc., home replacements which changes the icons of apps had recognized my froyo gallary app as the main app and changed the icon of my app.
so if you don't like the icon of my app then you should have open home a home etc .

alright then I will just have to try and figure out how to fix it myself, since it's the only thing that's out of place, I wouldn't even mind if say you inverted the gallery pic, but whatever that icon is, it's not a photo / graphics icon at all and that's what really annoys me.

Gallery3D Froyo Port
Ok people, since I personally didn't like the non descript icon for this version of Gallery3D I went about changing it, and for anyone who already has a version of Gallery, I went ahead and inverted the Icon for this one. I think it looks kind of cool, I hope you enjoy this little mod and please thank the original op, who made this possible. Camera does work with this one too. Just push it to /system/app.

sorry Moguledyouth,
it will not work
will not work with evo
Well, it won't install on my Galaxy S . My system partition is write protected, still searching for a way to change the permissions.
Quite new in the android scene, just got my Galaxy S a few days ago . It's rooted and i've installed a new firmware, but i can't wait to get my hands on froyo. Very nice gallery, if it would only install...

Not working on my Hero either.
works on milestone 2.1. does anybody know what should happen, when you hit the camerabutton in the upper right corner, because the 3d gallery gets a fc just like the 2.1 ...?
I have tried numerous metamorph themes modifying the framework-res.apk, and they seem to apply just fine (metamorph gives me a "succesfully applied" notification). The thing is, once I reboot, nothing changes . I was working on modifying the lockscreen, and everything applied well, but it didn't show a difference. I figured I must have messed something up, so I applied another person's lockscreen mod and it acted in the exact same way. This is really frusturating me cause I have been working on different solutions for the past 2 hours, and nothing seems to be working.
I am using GB 2.3 (latest release), and do have a different theme applied using theme chooser, but as far as I am aware, it has no affect on the lockscreen files. If anyone has any ideas, that would be great!
Thanks in advance!

There's 5 versions of GB, which ROM do you have? And if you are using a theme it's important to know which one. Also, maybe throw some links up to the actual morphs you're using. Also, what exactly are you trying to do? Like what's the morph changing specifically. I mod my frameworkres.apk and SystemUI.apk manually with every flashover, (using aospCMod 3/26 and "androidian" from theme chooser) so *maybe* I can help.
I am using the rom on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864403
(AOSP 2.3.3 / CM7 (Gingerbread) [03/26/2011]).
I am using this "theme chooser" theme (Honeycomb Hero)
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965216) (the one for CM7, obviously)
I tried to apply this lockscreen theme (MDPI version)
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602)
since it was targeting the same thing that I was working on; this was my test to see if it was my theme that was messed up, or if it was something else.
I am wanting to simply change the green unlock icon that you slide to unlock your phone, which is located in:
framework-res/res/drawable-land-mdpi
Hope this helps; thanks again.
I've used the lockscreen morph you're trying to apply on the same Rom a couple versions ago... I forgot which one but after reading some posts in the thread when I tried it on later versions it just didn't work because the framework has changed (i think) cuz it didn't work for me either. So you would probably have to post your framework in that thread & ask the op to make the new morph for you to work. I don't think its user error or anything like that. Hope that helps ...I really liked that lockscreen when it still worked on like 3/18 or somethin

Yeah thats something I might do too. I'm just wondering why the images that I edited aren't being changed. Maybe ill do a flash or push framework over, but that seems riskier. Thanks for the input

I would like the ability for the stock ICS launcher to rotate based on the phone orientation. Obviously the launcher supports it because it will go landscape when used in any of the various docks.
Back on the Atrix OG, the NoattachTrix4G ROM had the install-time option to make the stock launcher rotate based on orientation, so there must be a way to modify something that allows the launcher to rotate without having to be in a dock. Has anyone looked into that and knows how to do it? In the worst case, I can try to find time to look at the NoattachTrix install script to see what it does (or, if it is just installing a new framework or whatever, get that file and see what was changed).
In the meantime, I was just wondering if anyone else may have already looked into it.
Yup. In GB it was a simple edit in the BlurHome2.apk's AndroidManifest.xml. I think it's the same in ICS, but in the homescreen.apk.
Look for this line and change "nosensor" to "sensor":
Code:
android:screenOrientation="nosensor"
The problem is signatures. You could probably edit your own and push it back to your phone without signing w/ no issues.. maybe. But, really a bunch of system apks need to be re-signed with the same key if you change one AndroidManifest.. so it would have to be included in a rom, or a big zip package to replace all of the re-signed apks..
Sent from my phone's mind
Can't the signing issues be resolved by using Eclipse?

I'm currently looking through all the info on how to do this (but I'm not in any hurry)...I've installed Eclipse on my Ubuntu system, looking through the other threads and tools. I have dragged my feet on doing this now for the past year because I know how I am with all this and it has the potential to take more time away from my necessary activities.
Ok, I starting learning how to do all this. I decompiled the apk, made the change, recompiled, but didn't want to take the time to make it work.
So, while reading an article on the Nexus 7, I came across two apps that allow the homescreen to rotate without mods:
Ultimate Rotation Control ($2.99): I tried it but thought I would try the free one first
Rotation Locker (Free): Using this one now. Doesn't restart with the phone. Make sure you are using the background method (long press "Auto").
Both of the above applications let the Moto homescreen rotate as well as any other apps that insist on being in portrait mode, but I'm trying the free on first to see if any issues show up.
