Android Market Upgrade (3.0.26) - HTC Desire S

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pbo-d62ivY&feature=player_embedded
In this video, you can see the new android market, kinda like the Windows Phone 7 one. It's faster and better than the previous one.
You can download the APK from here - http://www.mediafire.com/?vdocx41t37rnn6y#1
Then, install it as a normal app, and you're done !
OPTIONAL - Press the THANKS button

Nice but a bit laggy

It is not faster, its bulky, blocky and all over the place. Scrolling is mega lame. I hate it because it totally sucketh! An easy uninstall takes you back to exactly the way you had it which is nice. No reboot needed even.

Those features are only available in the US at present.
Afraid I have to agree, it's fugly and slow. I hope I can refuse the update for as long as possible.

Well that sucks! But as for the new layout I quite like it.

It blows monkey chunks. Anyone who likes the new market doesn't ask for much.

The new market is nice, but well, it's slightly slower. Hopefully we'll get an official update soon. Till then, i'll put up with the lag.

I'm currently on CM7 ROM (ported by superkid). I installed the new market update and I experience frequent FC's. I uninstalled the market update and now it works perfectly. Anyone here experiencing the same problem?

I think it looks much better than the last version but it has very slow scrolling and takes too much time loading.

Yep it looks nice but to slow for my liking.

Great, thank you

Same, really slow on my side too.

Uninstall and go back to earlier version. Pray that the update is discretionary and not forced. I doubt it will be any faster and it surely won't get any prettier

Live Wallpapers running on CDMA Hero

Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIL7tXnlEKU
- courtesy of kenfly
update: thanks to chuckhriczko we have an update.zip. googlebits included, livewallpapers are running, except for nexus ones, this is working on the AOSP 2.0.1 build, includes the new music app, youtube, new 3d gallery, its slow and glitchy but it does load,launcher2 is installed but just gives a black screen and force closes, most likely due to lack of openGL but the still wallpapers from it work!!!and updated host scripts to block ads.
Wipe, flash and enjoy.
http://www.4shared.com/file/199173614/387bc31a/aosp-lwp-signed.html
Update:
i have the nexus LWP to sit on loading, no longer force closes, i have the nexus themed launcher installed, flan clock app, gumbo kernal installed, protected apps showing in market, will upload new version once i get super users to work right
Awesome! Can't wait for a release.
so.. opengl is working? on 2.1? at least it was my understanding that is what was needed..

Looks real nice, can't wait for this one.
Nice, but i tried AOP 2.0.1 and its too glitchy plus i hate the keyboard
That is sweet I would deal with vanilla Android (i like sence) to be able to use that.
Keep up the good work.
So when we get updated to Eclair sometime in the not to distant future this will be a feature that we can use?

Awesome. We all will be looking forward to it. I do need to ask, is it possible to get this on the Hero 2.1 build that's floating around or are the files that need to be modified hacked to hell by HTC in those roms?
Is the camera and gps working on this build????
How is it that someone who can figure out how to get that running on his Hero has no idea how to get a camera to focus on something?
Does the Google Voice app work correctly on 2.0.1? That's the one issue that's prevented me from using the 2.1 ROM on a daily basis.

Angry Birds 1.3.5

I don't know about everyone else but when I tried to download Angry Birds off the market it couldn't find it so I googled it and found the apk.

It runs kind of slow on my hero CM6, like the lite beta, but it still works. This is the full version and it is pretty fun imo.

​My Girlfriend has been harassing me about this game every since i let her play it on my evo (worst mistake i could've done) I installed it via apk as it wont show on the market for her phone? But the graphics are all off it doesnt show some of the things like certain rocks, wooden boards etc..... I was wondering was there anything I could do to fix this now she is running latest stock rom. Should i flash it and if so what rom would allow her to play the game correctly? Or do i need a special version or am i s.o.l?

It runs like it should now. Full animations, no funky background issues, and MUCH MUCH smoother than before. It's *almost* as good as playing on the EVO.
Also included in the update: 45 new levels, and a new bird.

CM6.1 with the latest CFS uncapped kernel. I'd say it runs more than 10 fps, probably closer to 20. By no means is it as smooth as it is on the iphone/ipod or the EVO, but it's FAR better than it was prior to the update.

Weird, I'm running CM6.1 with the latest CFS uncapped kernel, and I'm getting maybe 5 fps. I wonder what the difference is? Are you using JIT?

I currently do have JIT enabled. Even before I enabled it, and was running one of the CM6 nightlies, i was getting better than 10fps. Maybe 5 or 10fps at the worst moments, but the game for me has ALWAYS been slightly choppy, I'd say around 20ish fps at best, closer to 15 usually. It seems to be running right around 20-23fps right now, don't know if there's a way to test it.
EDIT: to clear this up, prior to the update, when I couldn't see textures, it seemed to run slower than it does with textures/full animation.

Cyanogenmod 7 for Harmony Released!

Though not specifically listed for us, CM7 for harmony was released along with the other builds today. It looks and runs great so far, and the Tablet tweaks work really well, I like having the buttons in the bottom left personally. I haven't had alot of time with it, but I have yet to spot anything out of place and it runs great so far.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=harmony
There are a few bugs in the keyboard as numbers do not show up properly. Everyone should thank Bekit as he's really pushed CM7 for the G-Tab and spent a ton of time hacking away at code.
::edit::
Nevermind, their Wiki site is just screwed up showing out of date links. http://mirror.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.0-Harmony-signed.zip

Thanks.
I was running this since beta and rc and its more bug free than ever. The stock keyboard does suck on a tablet. The best one is SwiftKey for tablets. Go to their website and sign up for vip and you can dl the beta.
Now that we are running cm, can we start using rom manager and whatever version of cwm it installs or is that still a problem for g tabs?
MC
Been running this for about a week now (clearly not the stable as it was JUST released) and have been really happy with it.
Side note I do hate the keyboard as it is just a little small (for me but i have big hands).
I do hope this version fixes the DSP Manager FC issue. I was going to install the nightly yesterday which had the fix but never did get around to it.
I'm assuming this is entirely different from this

Mod has been merged to CM7
The first part of tablet tweaks has been merged.
It will be in each official cm7 nightly build now starting with nightly 37 onwards... even phone users will have parts of the tweaks in their options

I am under the impression that this release is specifically targeted for the G-Tablet. If you notice when the little android screen comes up it says click here to set up your G-Tablet.

Right now, it most probably is. Let Harmony devices get rooted before the Harmony Release gets traction and "neutralization"
Very sweet...
Overall feels very responsive and smooth (though that could be from the data/system/cache wipe before installing).
WiFi location works very well.
Tablet Tweaks is a nice addition as well as the standard CyanogenMod Settings.
Notification swipe for the Power Widget is nice.
Haven't looked at the themes or profiles yet.
how long do ya think it will take to have the nvidia files merged into gingerbread roms? cuz the poor playback is a definate deal breaker for me but i would love to run cm7
Recovery?
Has anyone else had any issues in getting into CWM after installing this?!? I cannot at all get to recovery. It just boots straight into CM7.

Honeycomb improves the user experience on tablets greatly. At least from my experience with it.
Stunning
Best thing since Cyanogen, blown away by this. Can only get better..

needs the extra 50 megs borrowed from cache . For a while was up to 320 mb system but its using 205 out of 250 now.
sounds like if they ever get the browser and gmail to work reasonably well it will be time to take the plunge.
Roe, MrGuy, Clemsyn, DJ_Steve, Pershoot and all of the VEGA and Adam developers are amazing. This is very much a group effort over at SLD, which shows in the sheer amount of progress made on this port. Honestly, I woke up one morning to version 1.2, the next day to 2.0 and that night 2.1.
It's not quite ready for prime time, but I use it as a daily driver. No way I could ever go back now.
Working great so far...
I took the plunge and installed this and it looks great. I'm just going through my favorite apps to see what works and what doesn't. I'll update as I know more.
I just tested Video playback and the only thing that works of course is Moboplayer, but it works great, and even works on files that used on play without sound in Vegan 5.1.1 (they now have sound!).

Instagram incompatible?

For the record, running one of the ICS builds - everything seems to work as expected minus the known issues/bugs.
I downloaded Instagram today from the Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android) - says my device is compatible. When I take a picture or load a picture from the gallery, the app freezes and/or reboots my phone. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour? Would be nice to know if you're one GB or one of the ICS builds as well...

Tried that first - then installed from Play Store and same results.
Had a buddy on stock 2.3.5 test it out and he gets the same freezing/crashes. Pretty sure this is an issue with the app and the I727/I727R, not the ICS leak.
Anyways, gave it a 1 rating on Play Store and left feedback that it doesn't work on our devices. Been happy with Pixlr-o-matic (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pixlr.OMatic) anyways...
I also wanted to try the new Instagram app, but now seeing that other ICS roms and stock GB are having problems, i'm inclined to think there's a bug with the first release of the app in general. Hopefully it is fixed soon!
sucks, weve waited too long for this..
mine still says compatible for all my devices including my skyrocket
I have ICS and they let me install in on Google Play.
But yeah, it's crashing like everyone is saying even if you can install it.
Personally, I've never ever had an app crash this bad where I had to hold down the power button for an extended period of time.
What a shame. Looking forward to a quick resolution.

Yeah I'm on my skyrocket with ICS rooted and it says it is incompatible. Hope they fix this, one of the few things I miss from my iphone days.
I was able to install from the store, but it's a huge POS.
Crashes and reboots the phone.
Tried both camera settings, same result.
It's a stripped down, piss poor port from iOS.

Mine works fine until I try to take a picture myself and get to the filter screen. Are you able to take your own pics and apply different filters?
My fully stock Skyrocket is running the app fine so far. I've played around with the filters using pics from my gallery and while taking new pics.
Although now that I think of it I haven't uploaded any pics with it yet. So maybe I've just stopped before the issues occurred. I'll have to play around some more.
