[Q] Port system apps from 1.6 to 2.1? - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

Hi!
Is there a way to port apps from the older Xperia 1.6 to the 2.1?
I absolutely loved the curved lockscreen, the contacts app, the dialler app, the notification bar and the simple-no-frills-gallery (the new 3d gallery app is all eye candy but doesn't open the pictures in full-resolution) on the older OS and miss them badly after upgrading them.
Is it possible to simply extract the APKs from a rooted 1.6 phone and replace them on a 2.1? Or any other workaround?

[Q] How to access Androids Standard 2.1 Gallery?

Hi guys!
Now that we have 2.1 and Androids nice gallery, is there any way to get a simple shortcut to the android standard gallery in the app drawer instead of Mediascape?
I know its there because some Apps that let you choose pictures for whatever reason use it and not Mediascape, but I have not found a way to simply open it from the app drawer...
i have found the APK for gallery but doesn't seem to work, have a play see if you can get it working?

No luck here...
dammn SE, could have at least given us a choice
Lol man just download ADW launcher and create a shortcut fot the Gallery activity
it actually works
people in this forum seem to surrender too easily
Or you could just add the Picture Frame widget to one of your home screens. Clicking the widget takes you to the 3D gallery.
Picture Frame takes you only to the 3D Gallery once and when u select the pic u want to use u cant go to gallery again just by clicking on PF widget. What to do then? I want that gallery and not mediascape
I swear I saw it one of the eary vids of 2.1 :s

Creating a shortcut to the gallery activity works nicely, thanks mate!
Would be nice to have it appear in the app drawer though...
But is it possible to get the shortcut over to the standard SE launcher in 2.1? I kinda liked the new default launcher, well compared to the old one in 1.6 :-D

Most of all because it looks more like ADW
stock music
IS THERE the stock music player in 2.1 or are we still stuck with timescape
I think its this app: http://www.cooliris.com/mobile/nexus-one/
I already tried to install it but it fails to update or start.
They are all there, just hidden that is all.
the APK's are sat in system/app/ in the root directory and the handset.
All you need to do is make a link to it and and you will have them there.
Oh thanks Chewitt, I didn't know there was a built-in media player in 2.1. That one works fine and is very fast! Fu mediascape

yeah its called Music.apk
ctrl folder gives you link o 3d gallery and a folder option
[APP] Gallery and Music Launcher for Xperia X10 2.1

Also with LauncherPro
A. Now, that we have 2.1, I recommend using LauncherPro instead of ADW - it is much more powerful
B. As suggested for ADW - if you want to create a direct link for the original gallery APP and the original music app, just create activities shortcut (you will find the gallery and music apps in the activities list).
Regards,
Tal.

install either launcherpro/ADW dont set them as default home. turn off phone/restart select home and not either of the installs (launcherpro/ADW) you've done. now your in the standard home page select the shortcuts you want to drop on one of your 5 screens and its done. i've got the gallery/picture frame and music player, then uninstall launcherpro/ADW, your shortcuts will stay but the option to find them will be gone from the shortcut maker menu
i think this will work

[Q] ADWLauncher EX: Missing icons in App Drawer

Hello. I'm using ADWLauncher EX on my Optimus 2X Android 2.2 phone (rooted, but with stock rom). Anyway, i've just installed the Nexus S Gingerbread Theme, which has over 200 icons included, but still some of my apps in the app drawer have stock icons. E.g. Camera, Alarm, E-mail and so on, whilst most of the other apps uses the icons included in the theme. I've seen on various screenshots that the icons i'm missing is included elsewhere.
Does anyone know how i can get all the apps to use the Gingerbread icons?

idk how you would do it in the app drawer but you can change the icon when the app shortcut is on a screen not in the app drawer.

CM7 Dialer

Is it possible to change the appearance of the in-call screen? Or change the dialer/contacts app to something else like the Sense or MIUI app?
none that I have found when I used CM7. Your best bet is to download a dialer app of the market. There are quite a few. Go Contacts was really laggy on my old Cliq xt but might work better on the inspire.

[Q] Extract MotoBlur features for use in CM7

Hi guys
I just got a D2G with Stock gingerbread BLUR ROM. But I prefer to use CM7 just like my Milestone. The question is how can I rip blur DIALER, CONTACTS APP, WIDGETS, MULTI-TOUCH KEYBOARD and other stuff and merge them with CM7?
Specially window animations in 2.3 stock ROM are very nice and I want to extract them and integrate with Cm7. As Kabaldan made an effort for screen rotation for Mileston, It is not actually resemble the original MAGNETIC effect. Anybody can help?
You cannot.
Blur applications depend on the Blur framework which is pretty low level in the OS.
Thanks. What about transition animations? I heard that they are presented with some kind of XML. Also, There was an app on the market that help making some changes to my Milestone transition animations.
