Welcome to OS Easy Launcher
I have developed this app initially to launch android in a simpler manner. It now supports booting multiple OS's on your Storage card. Any issues related to the stability of android or the other OS's are not related to my app but the build of the OS itself. One of my main goals of this app is to make it as aesthetically pleasing as possible for a WM app. if you see any room for improvement let me know and I will try to make it better.
For all builds of Android and Ubuntu that will work with this app go Here
Instructions:
1. download and unzip to the root of your storage card the version of android or ubuntu from above.
2. download Android Easy Launcher and install to your phone
3. Launch easy installer and launch the build type you had unzipped to the root of your Storage Card
4. Enjoy!!
Instructions for Win 95:
1. Download here
2. extract to root of your Storage Card a
3. Run Os Easy Launcher app and enjoy!
Note: when exiting Win 95 your phone will exit to landscape mode. you will manually need to change your orientation back to portrait.
If you have any suggestions let me know. also if you are having issues let me know what build your using and if your using sense build or not as well as rom so i can make this as compatible as possible.
If your a chef and want to cook this in your app feel free to do so. if you want to be notified of when i update the app for your next rom pm me and i will give you a heads up when its ready.
UPDATE:
Video of how to put android on your phone along with using the app coming soon!!! (need to charge my video camera)

Thank you tbdawg for the code to check if the files are on the sd card.
Updated translation for German Rom version thanks to akeos2000
For this app in other languages please see post 2!
Current app version:
v3
English
German
Norwegian
Current features:
-All Launguages-
*launches desire build still will need to run CLRCAD.exe first.(im trying to fix it so you dont have to)
*launches froyo build
*launches Windows 95
*launches ubuntu
*info selection added in menu - displays a brief info on the app in a message box
*checks if file for build is located on storage card before it launches. if the file is not found it will display a message. see images for example
*now boots both CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe for certain builds requiring CLRCAD.exe to run properly.
*now able to boot multiple builds in several locations on storage card ---- Froyo located in the Android folder, Desire located on root of storage card and Ubuntu located in the Ubuntu folder (note: app does not install the folders they are located in the current zip files from the link i posted above. just unrar to storage card basically.)
German Version:
Updated translation thanks to akeos2000
Future features:
*auto update android build
*multilanguage support
Fixes:
V3
*removed standard build of android due to the newest build of Desire gives you the option to launch with sense or without.
*replaced standard build with windows 95
*updated Background image as well as icon image
*app renamed to OS Easy Launcher
V2.5
*CLRCAD.exe for both desire build and new froyo build launch before haret automatically. if the build is not found a message will appear. This does not require a reg tweak to work.
*Now you can have the new froyo Android folder, Ubuntu folder and the desire build all be located on the storage card at once this will allow you to boot whatever version you want without having to overwrite to test the newest build.
*Updated app icon in stat menu
*updated UI again
V2
*now checks if file is located on storage card before it launches.
V1.5
*ubuntu now calls to proper folder to launch
*restored second button to boot CLRCAD.exe (only needed for desire build)
ETA of next update to app:
tomorrow most likely. working on multilingual support now.
Other Languages:
I have just translated everything in the original app. should work with foreign roms. just select the language of your app and it will search your storage card in the right language structure.
note: if you see the english version updated the foreign language version will be updated to the same build and reuploaded.
Currently Supported
*German - Confirmed Fully Working
*Norwegian - Confirmed Fully Working
Dont see your language then request it. Just let me know what they call storage card in your foreign rom!!
do i have to extract anything or jst download and launch
when i down load it and do step one an error comes up and when i do step two an error comes up and saysfailed to load file/storage card /zimage
I'm going to take a simple guess here and say you do not have a single Android file on your memory card. This is a simple shortcut program to the files that you should already have on your phone's memory card.
the app currently works best with the latest disire build 2.5. I am working on updating it for other images as i just read that some say zharet.exe so that should be resolved soon. currently you need to have extracted your latest android build to the root of your storage card then install my app and launch. I will also automate step 1 so all you will need to do is launch haret. I will be trying to get a hold of the devs and see if they would not mind if i included an update feature so you can use my app to update the build to the latest released version. Sorry i did not clarify as much earlier as i was headed to the hospital and wanted to get the thing uploaded real quick.
Well i am currently trying to finish downloading some more builds for the HD2 to test with my app. I believe i will have it set as sense build, standard build, Froyo build, and Ubuntu build. Post 1 will be updated with a new link to get any build of android for the HD2. New version to be uploaded as soon as all testing is done.
App updated to v1.5 and reuploaded. let me know if you find any issues.
Strange, but my device is held after runnig android
I have try two version of android (desired and standard)
in both cases after "init panel" command in console screen isa faded and device not respond to any actions, axcluding battary removal
May be i did some thing wrong ?
I get an error no matter what when i press either launch or run button. i have the android build stored on my storage card/root folder and extracted. what am i doing wrong?
i will make a video tonight on how to. i hope it helps everyone. sorry for the short reply about to get on a plane.
stunning m8 quite slow and the camera function inc googles doesnt work at all on my hd infact its frozen a couple of times (just using standard build) but still its good to see android on my hd2.

I am making a video to show how to setup your storage card for andriod and using the app. i will have this up in the next day just need a charge on my camera as it is completely dead. Please remember any issues with android is not due to this app but due to the build of android. The devs have done an amazing job to get us to this point in such a fast time but its really only in the stages to playing with and not really functional for daily use.

HELP,HELP!!
Hi,
I followed Yr installation instructions to the letter...The moment i launched version 1.5...& chose the standard android build...my screen went blank...though it was normal but after a few minutes nothing...I then rebooted & now none of my apps want to run except the standard apps that come with the phone...
When reboot now notification pos up saying cant run-PocketNotify!
Manilla-2.5.19211619.0
ROM-1.66.421.1 (76641)wwe
Radio-15.30.50.07U
I tried to reinstall apps just says unsuccessful!
check ur date as i noticed when u return from android to wm it gets messed up. the app only lauches the exe for you and does not touch anything else. it does not even access anything from internal memory only the storage card. i think the issues are related to the android builds themselves as i lost the htc volume skin after running haret from my storage card without my app on the phone so thats why i lean towards it being build related. but do check all ur settings.
got it working 1st try. nice work my friend. if i werent so damn broke i would donate, even if your not asking.
cheers

Thanks bro. Im working on updating the app again real soon. should be up in the next day or so.
new build up and ready with more optimizations.
awesome job, thanks again. im actually tri booting with your app. i have Desire 3.7 and Ubuntu as well as WM 6.5 Energy Rom, all 3 working fine. downloading the update now.
Ho.. great job man the' Easy Launcher v2.5' is the app i looking for. Works perfect when booting froyo thanks alot ....
Ok, since not everyone is using CM6 on an EVO I thought I'd share this outside that thread.
This should allow the Market to show the missing (protected) apps on Froyo. I've implemented it for the Gapps FRF91 Hdpi pack for now. Any HDPI Devices with deodexed Roms using this should work with this fix. It may work with other HDPI releases, but I've only tested it on FRF91 w/ CM6.
Wipe Market Data/Cache......Settings>>Applications>>Manage Apps>>ALL>>Market
Reboot Recovery
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Flash "MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip"
Reboot
Accept Market Terms
On the off chance this borks your Market, just reflash your rom or the the Gapps pack.
If any other Froyo Markets have this problem, it shouldn't be too hard to implement the same fix.
Mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QIBIFHBM
If it doesn't work with your device/rom please specify both so that it will be easier to diagnose.
Big thanks to kallt_kaffe for leading me in the right direction.
It could be I've done something wrong, but this isn't working for me using Sapphire 0.7.0 (from droid-life) on my Droid (the original ). I've tried 2x (especially after finding where to do the dalvik cache wipe in clockwork) with installing it as an update.zip and just installing it as-is. I've been testing by trying to get comic strips back installed on my phone and app brain keeps telling me that mileage has an update though my phone doesn't agree.
I looks like that is using a different Google Apps version. I'll dl and try to patch it for you.
Here, give this a shot. Should work for all FRF84B Builds.
I don't have a device to test on, but this should do it.
does this work with g1 32b cm6
I'm not sure. I'd guess the g1 is an mdpi device though. If the mdpi market is locked (didn't think it was), I could apply the same fix. Also, is this for cdma or gsm?
Hi.
Great work!!!
I got it working with the MDPI version.
I just copied classes.dex from your fix to cyanogen's gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3.zip and I got Market unlocked.
If it's ok, can you share your secret/patch technique?
Did not appear to work for Acer Liquid Froyo. Still have problems accessing certain apps that I used in 2.1 ( AutoHTN Beta for example), APPBrain sees the app, but can not access it through the market.
Hi there
What about Android 2.1.1?
my phone is Motorola XT720, anything for that?
also, How do you "Flash" the application in recovery mode
any way i can do this using adb?
thanks
Aous
Galaxy S I9000 froyo 2.2
Hi,
I have the galaxy S, Froyo 2.2

Please help....
Question??
Do anyone know if this .apk works with Huawei IDEOS U8150-D??

Hulu and Flash 10.1
Skyraider Has updated his package once again.. Not much has been done, just some needed refinements. Updated: 9/5/10
I Have Added the ZIp for Stagefright-Undo that illogic6 made for us down through the thread! This is for CM users who want to avoid the "Demon Sheep" sound, I'll never get over that, or in simple terms the slow delayed sound Just flash via recovery. As for recovery, this is a Unsigned Zip, so please be sure to have updated to Amon's 1.8.0 or use Clockwork. Updated: 8/30/10
I have added the NEW and UPDATED version of HULU that Skyraider did for his 3.0 on the Droid Incredible. W/ FIXED ORIENTATION!!!
Please thank Skyraider for his hard work and input on this Hulu project that everyone wants but couldn't Mod it right until now!
I have uploaded the latest Flash 10.1 that has been adjusted to work with the Hulu app that I have provided from http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-incredible/136662-hulu-2-2-de-odexed-roms.html
This allows you to watch FULL Hulu with the latest flash installed without the sacrafice of losing anything. I hope you all enjoy... NOW, with PERFECT Orientation! Use Pinch to Zoom to fill the screen!
Directions:
Use Root Explorer or a App of such, and delete the install_flash_player.apk / flashplayer.apk from the system/app location, be sure to be mounted as r/w and then reboot, install the one I have listed. Then, install the Hulu app, and your on your way. If there are any issues, repeat the process and you should be fine.
Unzip and the apps are inside.. Just transfer over to the root of your SD or your choosing and enjoy.
Edit:
Now, if your watching a video, its starts in portrait, just rotate the device and you'll get full landscape mode. Now, pinch and zoom and you could fix and adjust the screen to fit yours.
As for the flash, there should be nothing wrong with it as I changed it from the precious one I had, to the beast skyraider made. So, If you still posses the flash I provided before, plz uninstall and then install the final one made. It should all be in the Hulu:Flash folder. Remember, flash might be moved or renamed on some Roms, so look through any root explorer and fish it out. Once done, install the final, you should avoid a most of the lag and etc.
As for lag and etc. Plz give your devices about 3-4 mins to adjust in running all the streamed data and processes. Once on the go, like you opened the app and got it running. Kill it in the task killer to allow the lockscreen to resume Nd the latent sound to stop. This should be done at the end. The echo hasn't been made yet to kill the app on exit.
Enjoy!
I just relay the goodies ppl.. The goodies..
Awesome, thanks! Is it still resolution dependent / is this apk WVGA only?

Its the one that downloads from my test installer. It auto detects what is the device. So this is good to go for any android device.

Awesome, makes it nice and easy
Install of 1.60 kept failing until I manually uninstalled 1.56, despite the "application will be updated" message. After 1.56 was uninstalled, 1.60 installed fine and is working great.
Thanks again!

Hey guys, currently I am still one of the official testers. I really think you all should have this. I ask only thing, that's my dropbox account which we all know won't give much bandwidth. So, anyone please care to provide a mirror to this masterpiece... lol

Magnus is that the NEW 1.60 with mic?
Thanks for the new version!
You have to flash a zip to get the modded version with a mic?
Wasn't version 1.60.36.8214 released a while ago? I've been running it for at least a week
Im a noobie to the EVO and I need some help. I just downloaded the swipe keyboard w/o the Mic. However I cant get the keyboard to come up when I try to text a Message. I did go into settings and select the swype keyboard but it still does not show up. Help please!

Thank u. I have it working fine now.

I downloaded this file- HERE IS THE VERSION WITH MIC in update.zip.
I am not sure why it says "in update.zip". The file I downloaded was called s_kb_tts_signed.zip. But I rebooted into recovery and using the Amon recovery I installed zip from SD and chose the s_kb file.
As soon as the system starts I get the Sorry error. The application swype (process com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. If I try to go into settings\keyboard and press the swype option I get the force close error again. I have uninstall-ed the previous version and try installing thru recovery twice.

Thanks a ton!
Thanks for the Mic mod. So sick. This all I wanted out of swype. I needed that in the keyboard so many times!!!
Also, if you flash and find that the keys have changed but the mic is not showing up and the return symbol is in the middle of the keys. Wipe all of your swype data from application management and then reboot.

I dl'd this, put on sd card, tried loading it through ROM Mgr... didn't work. Then I tried loading it through Astro Folder and I get "Error Directory._Flash_v10.1.92.8.apk.zip could not be loaded"
Then I removed the current version of Flash and tried again... still didn't work (so now I'm without Flash all together).
I am running SkyRaider Vanila 2.5... any suggestions?

It works fine and it's not a .zip
Just tested and audio/video lags much worse than previous
This doesn't work with Hulu either.
OP:
What did you test this apk on to determine that it was fully functional?
I'm the poster from the N1 thread...and another thread in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756531) too *rolleyes* that put the APK up. It's a rip from an N1 of the newest version from their market. I had no trouble installing it over the previous version of flash on my phone.
That being said, I'm not running any type of custom rom, just the 8/1 leak...you guys are on your own for the other stuff.
It works! Hulu won't work because they didn't sign any contracts that allow them to broadcast through Android Mobile Device- needs hacks for that...
but Flash 10.1 Final does run alot smoother than beta!
Okay so I just put the 2.3 on my HTC Incredible, I've tried all the different market.apk files I could fine. But every single on had the same issue. It would install correctly. But when you tried to open. It would pop up but then disappear behind the Home Scene. If someone knows the fix for this. Or a different 2.3 rom that doesn't have this issue please let me know. Currently using CM 7.0.3. Thanks guys!
Why didn't you just download the gapps if you wanted the marketplace?
You can get the market and all the other gapps here http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Just place it on your sdcard and flash it over. That's your best bet to get it working plus then you'll have gmail etc as well.
