Google Body? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any possibility to get Google Body working on android 2.3?

If you look on the right column it says "REQUIRES ANDROID:
3.0 and up" I too was excited to try this. I believe it's for showing off the new Honeycomb renderscript.

I'm sure some one will eventually make it work on 2.3.3
unless we all get an early release of 3.0

I think this is a bit of a show-off app for tablets really. I'm sure we'll have it when CM8 comes along

It was taken down......what was it?

No, It needs the Honeycomb framework and possible Tegra2.

lol just realized I can't use most of it on 2.1 yet.. no camera. Maybe I'll be the one to fix the camera...
is this for every android version or just 2.1?

It's only in the new (1.6 and up) market, but the above posted APK works in every version.
Yeah sorry, I didn't mean it doesn't work, I just meant in the ROM im using, the camera doesn't work, which in turn would make the picture searching, well.... useless lol
Just tried it out on fresh's rom, works great! way better than shopsavvy imo
thanks!
its compatible with 1.5?
i downloaded it straight from the market place
and im running gumbo 1.5c
Sweet! Does Google Goggles by chance run on 1.5? If so can someone upload the apk?
Just to let everyone know, Google Shopper is, in fact, available in the 1.5 market. Guess we all didn't look hard enough, or Google flipped a switch at some point in the last day or so. At least I'm seeing it on Gumbo's 1.5c naturale.

Ditto. Works for me on Gumbo 1.5c, but I think I prefer Shopsavvy to this because of the local results it offers along side the online ones.
Not showing up in Market on TTG ROM. Tried searching "shopper" and "Google Shopper".
Works on Fresh...tks
It works great on my phone. I will have to compare to shop savy and decide further tho.
Running Gumbo 1.5c and I do not see google shopper in the market.
Thanks, works well... but its in american, anyway to get it into UK prices....?
Why not just get straight from market? Any difference between yours and markets?

[REQ] port "Flan" lockscreen to 1.6

I love the new lock screen for "Flan" (featured in some of the Cannon202's Eclair rom) but i want to stick with 1.6 since it seem like 1.6 run better on the G1 than 2.1. Any Dev out there that have some free time to port the lockscreen? I would appreciate it very much. Thanks.
P.S i did spend some time to seach the G1 forum and couldnt find a post on this.
there is an app called Lockbot which has all 3 lock types an more
Eclar, Hero, Flan and iPhone

New 2.1's with full hardware drivers will be showing up very soon. No point in wasting effort backporting pieces to obsolete systems.

You mean new 2.1 Rom with full hardware drivers?
I will check out lockbot.
After checking out lockbot the lockscreen i actually wanted is the Flan version, not Eclair.
flyscreen also uses the same lock screen with added features of course, just check that out...

I've yet to see a 2.x system which runs acceptably on the g1. The lack of physical memory is painfully apparent.

when you say "flan" what do u mean?? 2.1?? 2.1 is not flan its still eclair..

I have tried lockbot so that I could have a slide to unlock feature but using an app as your lock screen never works as well as a true lock screen.

hmmm i am not sure what version it is then lol This is the one i am looking for http://www.androidworld.it/2009/12/14/gphone-parte-5-altre-foto-e-dettagli-sullhtc-nexus-one/
I guess it is google's lockscreen on the N1???
I do agree with Joe333x, using app for lockscreen is a bit clunky. I would like native if possible.

And that is because you have not yet seen one with HARDWARE DRIVERS. Nothing to do with RAM, everything to do with SOFTWARE GL.

yea thats eclair 2.1 ... i believe it was also in 2.0.1(the driod update) ... and i dont think it will be portable to 1.6.. because if it was it would of been done already.. many people had asked for it when eclair came out..

I'm not convinced. At all. I did a fair bit of work trying to shoehorn Eclair onto the g1 when it first dropped into the source tree.. GL or no GL, it really struggles on this phone.
It is impossible to port a lockscreen to another version of android.
Just close this thread please.
The "Flan" is a lie
Just my two cents...
So you've seen it with working hardware GL, I presume? I'm running Complete Eclair with the 3D patch and I'd say it's as good if not better than Donut, after coming from SuperD.

Its not GL.
It is DEFINITELY ***NO GL***.
I don't care how much you tried to "shoehorn" it in, you didn't have the GL drivers, and thus everything was running on the CPU... slowly.
Have a look in frameworks/base/opengl/libagl/
That is what is making it SO SLOW.
Having all that crap suck up the CPU and MEMORY.....
Do you remember when you bought your first 3D accelerator for your desktop computer? Back in the day? Probably a voodoo 2 or voodoo 3 in the late 90's... maybe even one of those crazy voodoo 1 things (or similar) that hung off the side of some other video card.... You remember how much of a difference it made?
Like this;
The 3D accelerator is MUCH MORE EFFICIENT than the CPU at performing these operations. So lets say that about 1 cycle of the GPU would take 100 cycles of the CPU to replace.... now that will displace the CPU from doing what it SHOULD be doing.... thus making the thing slow overall.
Also... fact does not depend on convincing YOU.
Facts speak for themselves.
So just wait a few days.
Then you'll be convinced

there is already a honeycomb for evo rom.
Its based of the sdk preveiw.
Mm yeah another port my best will be it wont work nicely on the Evo, we don't even have official (2.3 ) yet but at least Cynogen mod got it working but honeycomb is supposed to be for tablets how is it going to help the Evo, I got not idea, this is the only complaint about andoid(fragmentation )
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
im wondering if someone can work in the Gtalk video chat into lets say a custom rom... perhapps a mod of some sort. a cyan mod... maybe a cyanogenmod..... ha, sorry had to,
that would be sweet tho
Though a Honeycomb ROM for the EVO may develop over time, I doubt I will end up using it as it is built for tablets.
Also it is a part of my understanding that it is somewhat graphically intensive, which leads me to believe that performance on a Honeycomb ROM will be limited if applied to a phone without Tegra 2.
That is just what I believe however.

[Q] Scrollable youtube-market ???

Hi!
Is there a way to port honeycombs awesome youtube and market applications to gingerbread including the scrollable widgets on the homescreen??

Those apps use new APIs, most notably the Renderscript API which is only available in Honeycomb onwards.
It's just like asking for the complete Sense/TW experience on devices that don't have it. There's just too many things to port, and it might not even actually be possible.

Yo, my girl's HTC Inspire won't update to google play. It be stuck on the Market icon. Anyone know what be fixin this issue?
Also, I see other peeps with what might be Sense 3.5, but how do I be catching up with that for my girl's phone? She be jealous of those other phone's ringtones!
Please help, and Thanks or somethin

I'm not sure how well my translator works, but it might be accurate enough.
So, bjballar41, uhh in regard to Sense and to the Market/Play question, is your Girlfriends phone rooted?
If the phone is not rooted, she might want to check for software/firmware updates. Sounds like she is still running froyo, android 2.2.
Uh, ROM version aside, there's a d/l for the play store.apk. Google it. I did that way back, b/c I was still on market 2.5 (I think)

But is the play store an improvement? I recently went back to a nandroid of the ROM I found most stable. I have the old market back and am loving it compared to the more recent veal they have foisted upon the unsuspecting masses. Yes, it may be a good idea to have the apk, but I won't install it unless my market stops working. My 2 cents.
Edit: Veal? Really? I typed "crap". Lol, autocorrect.

As it is stock ATT never updated the Inspire to anything past 2.3 with the older sense. It didn't even get the Sense 3.0 update HTC pushed out. This is the reason foe not having the lock screen. Unless you root it and flash a custom from it won't happen. The market maybe OS version dependet

I don't know about better. It looks like the 3.x series of Market. I will say that the 2.x Market I had had started having random times where it wouldn't connect.
