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?

Eh yeah I tried and got the same issue I believe its because I still have the maps installed that is in my update.zip. idk if the aosp roms come with maps in them or not. Might wanna look into that

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.

[ROM] Senseless_EVO v.1.1 (not asop)

now rebased off rvu 1.3.1 so that means 4g should be a go
I removed all HTC widgets and most HTC/sprint apps except for the needed ones people messages music etc. Plus a few I happen to like
Big thanks to Keith and gbhil over at Android central for an amazing Rom to base this off of
Also gotta thank toast maejrep and co. For root
Wipe is most likely needed haven't tried to flash yet without
and yes you will keep root if you flash this if you used toasts method haven't confirmed unrevoked
Changelog:
1.1 now based on rvu 1.3.1 com.HTC.utility no longer fcs
1.0 based of rvu 1.0 all HTC widgets/apps removed except for messages etc....

Looks great! I will load this later!

I highly recommend getting adw launcher it'd amazing

Does anyone know where com.HTC.rosieutility is located or what on here could still be causing it to fc on boot it doesn't affect the phone at all its just annoying seeing that every reboot

A couple of questions. Will you still be rooted if you flash this rom? Does it still have the market or 4G problems of other roms.

Yup you'll still be rooted with toasts method at least never touch the unrevoked root
I have no idea about 4g I would say probably not since I didn't change anything in that regard
I'll get back to u on the market

Aw, darn. I thought this was actually an AOSP ROM. This is basically already what I've done to my stock ROM.

you will never get an aosp rom. 2.1 doesn't support wimax or the high video drivers. htc made the updates needed for those.

NO offense to you and i appreciate op just going thru the effort to share and ul, WE should all appreciate any contribution and if you have a problem with it just dont comment or use it. Just dont understand why you wouldnt just take 10 minutes and do it yourself. It takes ops longer cus hes also got wait for it to upload so he can share. This is not a crack and i am not a child. This is just my 2cents and what i thought while reading this comment.

Good job. Thanks for the speedy contribution towards our shiny new evo rom collection I remember liking sense and aosp so i like both and i always wanted sense to run right. That was everyones complaint with sense. Well thats not an issue anymore. I thought i would be all on it, like with my hero w/o thinking.....well as soon as i got my evo i forgot all that i learned about root and why to do it....JK but i am very satisfied with it and i will wait until i can access recovery and rw to system from device before i do. I spent the whole time i had my hero trying to make it into a device like this.....well now i have it Gimme a week and i think ill go to work.......

as you can see i thougth sense was removed completely and if you think you can do that by just removing a few apks show me. also even if i had 1000 post, this could be my very 1st android phone and those 1000 posts wouldn't mean a damn thing, just my 2cents, if you don't have anything helpful to say, shut up.

Until we have fully functional aosp/froyo/2.2 you wont have a rom that will even work without a bunch of sense remnants wasting space on your internal storage and increasing rom size.HTC is a shiny ui htc used to lure in all the apple morons(no offense i used to have an iphone before my hero). and since they made the devices, they're plaguing software/htc sense is an integral part of the ruu they put together. This is the reason everyone always wants a non-sense rom or VANILLA. We will not have full function vanilla until toast or someone else here compiles an0ther makeshift kernel, or lastly when htc releases the source so that we can compile a kernel with the right device drivers, to give us a full function rom. It would be to say the least, very very very hard to just compile the right drivers for the htc device hardware, thus all the aosp/froyo with certain features such as cam, or 4G missing.......hope this helps you und3rstand what you are looking for a little bit more clearly. In theory, YOU or I could create the source code for the kernel and drivers. Is that going to HAPPEN?????????????????? Probably not. Dont worry though, we have toast, so we happen to have a head start in the race.....

search my name in xda search youll find PLENTY of inter3sting things ive said. Do your own homework before instulting me or anyone else please.I meant neither of you any disrespect. I was explaining myself a little better and when i put up the 2nd post i saw this. This is an open forum right? well thats my opinion and some info. If you dl'd the rom you would see all the sense remnants yourself, resulting in less thread clutter,simultaneously answering your own question. I was trying to inform you in my second post. And please do not disrespect me by asking me to shut up. I do not disrespect anyone here on xda nor will i ever, and i expect the same treatment in return. I am here to help,learn,and contribute. Sorry you took offense. I guess i just dont ask others for answers that are readily available to myself. I would apologize but you offended me. please do not reply here again, as your response will be ignored by me. apologies to readers for momentary thread jack.......now, back to topic.....

I noticed what you did when i looked. Just wondering, were you unhappy with your evo when you got it? or did you just make a new rom to give everyone another choice of rom? or maybe even your personal, like i do sometimes? Just curious.....
@ops. I never spoke ill of your work, jic you took it that way, im not that guy. I appreciate any contributions to the community and have spent months of my own time staying up finishing up things ive been working to complete my self in order to ul and share with the community. Needless to say, I KNOW WHERE YOURE COMING FROM. When i can give us a new choice of rom or theme i too will begin work.....

Updating Paid apps to 2.2...

How would I go about updating my paid apps so they work with 2.2? Is it as easy as just recompiling them with the 2.2 SDK? Or do I need the apps source etc. I am tired of waiting on some devs to update apps 4 weeks later...

Any kind of hope for an answer? I am talking about my own apps i have bought and i don't plan on sharing. Just would like some help. Google didn't turn up much.

why would you have to update apps you purchased? the developers update them, and most of them have already since 2.2 has been out for the n1 for a while now.

Not my nexusmod live wallpaper... its been 4 weeks and not one update to it. I wanna update it myself. Cause i own it and i can...i just don't know how.

not sure what you're doing wrong but I see it in the market for me? is this not the same app? did you run the market fix for the froyo leak that's in the dev section?

Um did i say anything about it not being in the market? It fcs when i try to use it with froyo.

aren't all those LWP's included in CM6? I would imagine you could just install the livewallpaper.apk from it and you'll have them.

it has nothing to do with the livewallpaper.apk... it's not coded for froyo. maybe a livewallpaper.apk from a 2.1 will 'patch it' but i dunno.
and it didnt' work in cm6 either, btw.

I need a good app dev. Its customizable nexus like wallpaper except you can customize it a pretty good amount which is why i bought it. Way better then stock .apks. i might ask stericson.

[KEYBOARD] Stock Gingerbread Keyboard without smiley key

That damn smiley key was driving me insane, so I got the Gingerbread keyboard source from AOSP, got it to compile, and got rid of the smiley face button, replacing it with a return key. Other than that, it's identical to the stock Android gingerbread keyboard, so requires 2.3+. Eventually I may figure out how to make it able to be turned on and off, but that would rather defeat the point. Enjoy!
(Note: you have to enable it in the Keyboard settings before you can use it, just like any other keyboard.)
The Eclipse project (source) is available here.

hate to break it to you but people did that months ago lol. I've been using this exact keyboard since before Christmas I think, right down to the removed smiley key haha
Still, at least you got some practice....

Really? Cause I have never found such a keyboard. I found one that the smily key works as a space and then doesn't work after that, and I found a modified smiley key one where the "-" is removed.
Wish this worked with Android 2.2. Is it safe to try?

I won't use this this I use Smart Keyboard Pro, but props for taking matters into your own hands..

I guess it's safe in that it won't damage anything, but it also won't install I may be able to recompile it in a way that makes it play nice with froyo, but I haven't tried yet. Maybe I will today.
Also, I did find the same thing somewhere else, but if I'm not mistaken it had a theme I didn't like and the method to get rid of it wasn't worth the time for me. If nothing else, I got to practice compiling individual apps from the AOSP
EDIT: I had no luck getting it to work with 2.2. I updated the OP with the Eclipse project source if anyone wants to give it a shot.

I own Smart Keyboard Pro, but my only complaint is that it's laggy and slow. Compared to the stock Gingerbread Keyboard or the one in the market by Steven Lin, those fly and pump out rapid letters when you are typing fast, but with Smart Keyboard Pro, it lags behind, and it frustrates me.

Soo umm.. What now?

So I recieved my infuse last night, I have downloaded all of my nescassary apps, but now I dont know what to do/or download. Any tips? Or some apps/ themes to download?

Next is root your phone and decide if you want to place a custom Rom on your device.
If you want to place a custom Rom - just read the development section for a few days until you get a feel for what going on -then proceed from there..

I was thinking of that, I rooted my lasnt android, and it gave me major problems, lose all contacts, camera not work, bootloop etc...
Sent from amazingly huge Samsung Infuse.

Rooting can *lead* to problems but not actually *cause* problems. Only improper flashing and modding can lead to issues. Good news for you though - rooting is not required to get enjoyment out of your device. I should know. I didn't root my Infuse for the first month I had it. I just didn't see the need to do so.
So, what exactly is it that you're trying to do?

Just make it the most enjoyable and personal as it can get. Im gonna end up rooting it eventually. But not now.

Download Appbrain from the market. It's free. You can see popular apps of the day (I almost always find at least one or two to download whenever I go through the entire list) and it can provide recommendations based on what you have installed.

Look at the "Browse Apps" section of Appbrain as much as you can. The list changes daily. You'll start to pick up on what you want and how to find it.

The best way to experiment with finding them is to search what it is and peruse the results. If you saw a calendar widget, search calendar widgets (and other search terms that might turn up results) and sometimes you'll be able to find them. Otherwise, just quote the post and ask the name of whatever you want. Sometimes the poster will answer, and often times, if someone else knows, they'll answer.

And another question. When I use different launchers, launcherpro for example, they are all very laggy, so are there themes that dont need launchers?

LauncherPro is a bad example. It hasn't been updated in a year. Try a different launcher. I recommend ADW EX. Lots of people like Go Launcher. You could always stick with the TouchWiz launcher too if you want. There's nothing wrong with the TouchWiz launcher. Themes don't generally require a specific launcher unless their respective dev says so.
Like others have said, the best way to find what you like is to simply try things. Become familiar with tools that you can use to backup and restore your setup in case you run into things you don't necessarily like.

In all honesty if I could some how convince Amazon to let me to a return I would probably do the same. Not because of the specs and not because I don't love my Infuse but because there will probably be better community support in the form of more devs and longer support.

I was using launcher pro for awhile and liked it, felt like it wasn't that laggy at all. It just didn't have the ability to customize as much as say ADW or Go, but just before I replaced it they did an update that improved a lot of things, and you can now do mass customization. Currently tho i'm using Crazyhome as my launcher and I really like it.
