LG Optimus "Home Launcher"

OK guys, if you havent heard of the New LG Optimus phones Series that just came out in korea and Might be here soon in the USA,
found some apks & other things from the original "LG Optimus Z phone" first phone
to launch from the Optimus Series
looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so i play around with the apks, ( launcher and widgets ) and it work perfectly
on the evo (not sure if it works for other phones )with no editing necessary,
THE GOODS
-this launcher makes the phone look a little like the HTC sense cuz of the bottom dock , lets you drag any icons from your menu to the dock.
and a Samsung Galaxy Launcher feel because of the dots on top for amount of screens you have.
-It has a new way of controlling your apps in your menu which i havent seen in many other android phones out ( maybe its just me ), which lets you organize your application on your menu as "categories" or "group" , which its really cool and you can drag and put it anywhere in the menu you want.
THE BAD
- Only lets you have 5 to 7 screens only, and it cant let you have less than 5 screens (which sucks)
Some Other Goodies That Work
-World Clock widget
-Analog Clock widgets ( 8 of them )
-Calendar Widget
-Memo Widget
- Home Selector App
-LG Wallpapers
THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIX
-Launcher works normal and you can play around with it and no problem but one bug that i wish someone (DEV) to fix is that whenever you open a application and you try to go back by pressing the home bottom on your evo it "Force closes", THE SAME WHEN YOU Launch the "Home selector app" and you pick "LG as your Launcher" Sometimes it "force closes", from there everything else works perfectly and if someone could fix this problem than i might make this my default launcher
- and a way to customize the icons as shortcuts or other way, & drag it to the dock ( not sure if theres other ways ).
but for now ENJOYYY IT AND PLAY AROUND WIT IT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK????
*****Make sure you download the LG HOME & HOME SELECTOR apk first than download the widgets to make it work******

do you have a bookmark widget?

awesome! hopefully one day HTC lets you use their widgets with any launcher

thanks for this. good eye. ill be working with it.

I might be missing something but did you not include the clocks?

I might ne missing something too... where is the download link

This is a very handsome launcher, on par with Sense, totally destroys Motoblur and Touchwiz

Those clocks are part of the Widgets. Which is the zip file And yes all the links to download are there in the post.

Nice find!! But I too cant find the analog clock widgets, only the world clock widget.
Some things Ive noticed:
1. These widgets work with other launchers which is nice!
2. In the world clock app, I cant seem to delete Seoul as a city.
3. Default Categories in the laucher can only be renamed, not deleted.
4. The notes widget only lets you have 1 note.
p.s. Im not complaining at all! These are very nice additions to android. Hopefully there are some more widgets coming from LG!!
Edit: Ive noitced that in the screen shots you provided, the world clock widget has a settings button. Mine doesnt, is that where the option to load the analog clocks is?

How do I actually install this launcher?? I want to know!!!

Hm, that actually looks really cool. If a Dev could fix the force close problem I REALLY might use this as my default launcher...

Download the files that he has listed at the bottom of the Original Post, and open them using something like AndroZip and click the "Install" option.

i was able to install the widgets no problem. but the other files show as .bin something... the widgets are really cool but i really do like the launcher.

I don't know if this was said but the bottom tab is like the vibrant dock/tab you need to have the app draw open and drag the icons down to the dock from there.

This is seriously great.
I like 3 screens but this may replace ADW :gasp:
Good find!
Lots of FCs when hitting home from another app.
To install just rename to an apk extension.

Seriously lol how do I get to the analog clocks I've installed and downloaded everything and I can't find them

MY MISTAKE, yea i did forget to put the analog clock widgets sorry , its been updated so download the widget zip pack and its the first apk name as "analog clock apk" .

gonna have to admit, I installed this on my install of cm nightly. I'm really getting into it.
I'd love to see some interest in figuring out how to fix the force closes though. I've looked at my logcat and haven't really come up with thing anything (I'm novice at best though 8P)
Thanks to the OP for the find!

Thanks for the downloads, I just read a review of the device and was hoping someone else was interested in the launcher. Can't wait to use it on my Captivate.
Hopefully it to get noticed by someone who can perfect it to get rid of any FC's.

*FONT ON THE LAUNCHER IS A CUSTOM FONT , (NOT INCLUDED), (to have this font u need root access , download link below )
*new home launcher for the evo*
-5 to 7 screens available only-
-app drawer has categories option, organize your apps the way you feel-
(games, media, etc)
-Home launcher selector app (switch between home launcher very easy)
-Sense preview screens
To start off i want people to know that this is a "LG Home launcher", this launcher will be seen on the new upcoming LG optimus Phones very soon,
and i was able to port it to the htc evo and it seem to work for other phones also
I have post it the original thread a while back on September,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769138
And now updated and couple of fixes have been done to have a stable launcher that people can choice to download and give a try.
want to give many thanks to this guy to actually fix some mini couple bugs and force closes that was making this launcher annoying (lol),
-bedwa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810221
(hes actually been working on it, and i will too)
BUGS ( WILL BE FIX SOON )
-The Uninstaller on the app drawers doesnt work yet, it force closes.
-When u open the launcher in the screens you will see "Problem loading widgets",
U can delete them and there should be no problem using the widgets after that,
-LG Calander Widget dont sync with events, but widget does load and work on homescreen, (will see if theres a fix soon)
OTHER GOODIES / WIDGETS
-Analog Clock widgets ( 8 of them )
-Calendar Widget
(WIDGET DOESNT SYNC WITH THE EVENT BUILT APP SO BE PATIENT)
-Memo Widget
Custom Font ROOT USERS ONLY
http://www.4shared.com/file/Ue07CSnb/FontPack-MarkerFelt.html
(thanks to fachadick for this awesome font)
instructions
1) Download the Home selector apk first so you wont have a force close when you go the "Home settings"
and select "Home selector" On your homescreen.
2) download LG EVO Launcher / Widgets to the SD card and download it as you would any other app with "ASTRO , file manager ETC".
3) (ROOT USERS ONLY) Custom font, just flash in recovery as a normal flashable zip

LG LAUNCHER IN THE MARKET
i been scrolling in the android market and came across this application which looks like the port of the old launcher i did a while back,
(this version has bugs on them and doesnt work very well)
i want to first say that it took me a time to make this launcher to work, LG is the owner of this launcher, but still give credit to those who work and put time on this, damn.
ENJOY

Looks sick. Can u post a download link?

I like it however the calendar widget does not seem to work. Is it suppose to pull the events from the sense calendar or go to it when you click a date? As of right now when I click on a date in the calendar widget it does nothing. How did you get the sense clock to work, or is it something diff (forgot the name of the other one lol).

just like touchwiz for samsung,
open the app drawer and click on "Menu" of ur phone and just click organize and drag it to the dock. if this is what you mean,
moving around the icons and labels you have to open the app drawer and just click "menu" theres alot of options there.

Removing
How do I remove items from the dock.
Btw best mod in awhile

you dont, just replace them with another one .... click and drag new one over the one you want to replace.

This is pretty smooth. I wish the rosie launcher would allow you to add your own shortcuts to it. I hate the default shortcuts we're stuck with.

Any chance to optimize sliding? It's quite choppy.

hi, i would like to ask
is the widget itself can be launch by another launcher like launcher pro?

Weird... installed just fine... cannot change any of the icons at the bottom. Only has messages and Internet to the right of the programs buttons. Nothing to the left. I don't know why...re-installed same thing. Nice Idea though...

I saw these on another website, can't remember which. They said that most of the apps install, but don't run. Can you confirm this?

If you delete the current versions (preferably making a backup first, the three that won't install/FC (Gallery, Desk Clock, Test Market) they should work.

Cubes live wallpaper works on cm7 rc4 nook color, but its nothing special at all. Just a rotating 3d cube. Reminds me of the 80s.
Actually the file installed 2 identical wallpapers. The second has settings but it force closes when I select settings.

The test version of Market is 2.2.11 that was released 2 months ago. It'll automatic update to v2.3.4 when you run the app.

nope, none of those work besides Music, idk about the market wont even try.
It was on AndroidCentral or something
Music works great, i love the new UI, but they ssaid none of the others will work right now

You need to move camera and gallery to system/app and give them all permissions on use root explorer to do this nothing knew about it except the camera records in 480p. Also the gallery loads faster.

And how might one learn when negative statements like this are posted? At some point you didn't know how to do this as well. I come to these forums to learn new things and I try my best to pass those lessons, tips and tricks on and teach as best as I can. Isn't that what every XDA member should aspire to?

These are test versions. They're not meant for people who do not know what they're doing.
------------------------------------------------
Also, guys. Camera does work. I would not recommend trying the market because once you try to put your old market back, it will just FC when you try to install or update things.

Do I need to be on 2.3 to try the music app?

Gallery doesnt work on Desire HD MIUI

Can someone upload pictures of these apps? I have the music player, but I'm not too interested in a new market, camera or gallery(QuickPic is my favorite so far, so if the new Gallery opens up as fast as QuickPic, then I'll change). I'd still like to see what they look like though. Are they all Honeycomb-themed like the music player?

Camera not working Samsung galaxy 3 i5800
This new camera.apk is not working for me :-(

im pretty sure the implication was to use the many tools and walk thrus on other posts for installing system apps and not asking in this thread how to do it step by step, theres tons of useful tools on this forum just take the time to research it and understand how things work and teach yourself

I'd like to see the gallery too, never really understood the whole 3d gallery UI...

I tried most of them and they work but gallery doesnt open and asks for force close. I like the cube though....

Gallery and camera don't work on Nexus S or Archos 70IT. Shame, music app works on both.

On the music 3.0 app I can't sync/login to my Google account, whenever I select 'Google Account' I just get a screen that doesn't load anything, any ideas?

EDIT2: Now I got the DeskClock widget working - had to install it to the phone - not on the sdcard - but hitting the app-icon in the drawer i get a FC... so no config possibilities
EDIT3: Found a possible reasing for the Gallery-app not working on x10mini - the manifest.xml doesn't allow LDPI :/ I can't get smali/baksmali working, so I can't do the fixing my self... If I provide a dev with LDPI png's would a they mind decompiling the app, editing the manifest.xml and recompiling it into to apps? On with LDPI png's and one without LDPI png's.

[APP][2.3.3+] Devbro Appdrawer 1.3.280

Introducing Devbro Appdrawer by me(Devbro)
What is it?
This is a appdrawer replacement. In the normal appdrawers that exists right now, you can only organize your apps in generic ways(alphabetically, more recently used,...) or in folders that make accessing your apps one step further to reach. No more worries. Devbro Appdrawer now fixes this problem. You can organize your apps in folders and swipe to access them. It can be easily replaced with all general appdrawers, just replace the shortcut in go launcher, ADW launcher and etc. Or you can create a shortcut to it for daily use.
What else can it do?
You can organize your folders in whatever customized order you like. It is also possible to uninstall or view each app's info just by long clicking on the icon.
What is the cost?
It is free. No catches of any kind.
What are the permissions for?
I am looking to see how my app will be used by other people. So There is a small code that send me a list of your folders and how you organized them. There is also a list of how you ran your programs.
All data that are being sent are generated from within the app. nothing else is sent. If you do not like the idea you can simply disable it from the settings menu. If you like to do this manually, there is also an option for it in the settings.
sdcard access is needed for backup and restore
Do you like my app?
If the answer is yes, then just use it and tell your friends about it. You can also give it 5stars in the market.
Do you have a suggestion/Did you find a bug?
Just post it here and I will look into it. Thanks in advance.
Do you want to help?
As per suggested, I need a new icon. If you have seen one that I can use post a link here please.
Which feature that you like to see next?
1. dark theme, theming options - done
2. customizable icons
3. new app folder
4. other language support

I am glad to hear I haven't done any major testing on 4.2 yet. Are there any problems?

Good idea! It works fine in my Galaxy s3 with mihome launcher. My feedback is this:
1) app icon should be more like a generic launcher icon. Current icon isn't representative of what most people are used to looking for an app drawer.
2) hide the title bar so it feels more like a native app drawer. Maybe even give the option of a transparent background.
3) default black theme looked ugly because the folder label had a white background. How about making the folder label background transparent and underlining the name instead?

I am seriously considering all your good advices. I am not a graphic designer, it takes longer to come up with more effective graphical designs. Creating icons are not easy it may take me a little longer to create or find one.

AOSP Google Dialer and People apps

Hi Everyone,
if anyone is interested, you can get both aosp google dialer and people app to work on the G3. Here's how:
1. Download the zip
2. extract the files to your phone (sd card)
3. with a root explorer, copy them over to system/
4. set proper permissions (644) on both files
5. copy these files over to system/priv-app/ from system/
6. rename LGContacts.apk to LGContacts.apk.bak (or change the extension of the file to anything)
Blacked out dialer and contacts app - thanks for the findings, @Kameirus
The blacked out Google dialer is made by Thyrus here at XDA

Wow thanks! I'll be curious to see if this works flawlessly for others before I try it myself. Those are the last two apps I need to change to get back to the AOSP feel, aside from "Settings" of course.

Tried this and was unable to get the phone or contacts apps to show

Same here no go

Hope someone figures it out

thats an easy fix..will look into it later on..im still using the same apks from my old n5

Did you guys use the files I provided? Did you rename it? The LGcontacts app to have different extension? It's important because it has the same package name as Google contacts and therefore Google 's contacts app won't show up.

for those who dont know..u need to create a shortcut activity for googlephone by using a launcher like nova..apex..etc

Well, thanks but I didn't need that and checked on stock launcher and they do show up both... Is it possible that it's due to different system languages? U can also try to rename the extension of the LG phone up (dialer), see if that works.

yeah, i understand that, but if it works on my system, it should on others as well that was my point

would not advise to rename lg phone app, as I did and got into an endless "com.android.phone" process stop. contacts app works though but phone app does not show on stock launcher.

Just install the google dialer with proper permissions and then hide the LG phone app in your drawer. Did this a week ago cause I missed my dialer from running PA on my G2. Also OP is that the 4.4.4 dialer? Cause android police had the older dialer up when I downloaded it. Had to rip the one outta the PA G2 rom I ran on my G2.
Also I am using nova launcher an do not have to create a shortcut. Just put the icon on my home screen and it opens up just fine.

So does this work? I got the Google dialer installed a few weeks ago but frankly hated it, could never get it to do what I wanted. Long press a contact to edit? No go. Plus all it did was launch the LG dialer in the end. If this fully replaces the LG dialer I Amy give it another try.

Phone shortcut didn't appear in the drawer for me, but I was able to add it to the stock launcher with "Activity Launcher" from the play store.
In the app, All activities -> Google dialer -> Phone (DialtactsActivity)

Any chance you got out of the infinite bootloop without having to flash the stock ROM? If you did let me know how. Thanks!

Yes, and it was a nightmare, took about 20 min. Reboot phone, and with one hand keep hiring the Ok button of the error message and with the other hand try navigating the menus one by one. Go to system /priv-app/.
Find LG phone app, lgteleservice or something like that, click it, install it, then I used room toolbox pro to convert it to user app and set permissions 644. Reboot and got out of loop. And then quickly renamed back the apk.
All the best and good luck.

This worked for me! All works good!!! I had some activities widget already on my F400s and it let me add the dialer.
Looks same as my Nexus 5 now! And finally got rid of the Korean on the stock dialer.
Happy! Thanks to the OP!
