you can use both launcher2 or rosie, just clear the defaults...
How am I able to use the sense UI if im using the launcher?
You can also use Helix Launcher. But the only way you will get the SenseUI aka Rosie is if you use the original launcher that is included with the Incredible.
Cool. Thanks
Noob here - how do you get another launcher and still use Sense UI? Where can I find a link for something like that?

You can download the HelixLauncher from the market, its free. Still trying to figure out how to use the sense UI on another launcher....

SenseUI is part of the default Launcher (HTCSense aka Rosie). Technically it IS the default launcher. AFAIK there is no way to "Use Sense on another Launcher." You either use HTCSense or you use some other Launcher.
I tried Advance Laucher and it forced closed over and over. Which N1 Laucher are you using. Does it support multi-touch? I tried Helix but it doesn't work with multi-touch so I got rid of it.

What "multi-touch" function are you trying to use at the Launcher level? Most multi-touch is at an app level....browser, maps, gallery, etc....
The launcher I am using is from Nexus One - Cyanogen 5.0.6 rom. It support multi-touch for pic, browser, map, etc..... But the stock rom does the multi-touch already.

That sucks. I was really hoping to use the sense UI on a n1 launcher. Thanks.
I mean, where do yall find all these launchers from? I'm sorry, I just don't know. Still trying to learn as much as possible about, Android. I need a mentor

Not sure if you were asking me or the other poster. The Helix Launcher is available for free in the Market. Honestly, though, I am using the default HTCSense Launcher. I can't imagine why anyone would want anything else.
I've used helix but it seems laggy to me so I was looking for the one he said he pulled from cyanogen.
Yeah, I mean I love the Sense UI. But one of the reasons I wanted to get into Android and get an Android phone was to do whatever I wanted and customize and try out anything and everything. Kind of sucks to have limited options when I was hoping to be able to do everything everyone else is doing with their phones.
I too would like to know how to get the Cyanogen Mod on the Incredible.
I'm guessing this is the one they are referring to. I is Launcher2.apk pulled from the Cyanogen Sholes/Droid ROM. You should be able to put it on the SDCARD and install with a file manager.
Credit to Cyanogen.

Same here. I'm hoping the Incredible get rooted soon. Would like to OC my phone and install different roms. I luv the Cyanogen roms, been running it on my N1 for a while now with no issue and its blazing fast.
I like Leap
So I played with the multi-touch keyboard and think it's awesome. But I hate, hate, hate the fact that it's white.
Is there a themed version of this keyboard that looks like stock? Or, is there a signed zip of the stock keyboard?
When I try to reinstall the stock keyboard it force-closes. I think it's because the zip I flashed the the multi-touch one messed with the settings (com.android.somethingoranother)
Oh, and by stock I mean Vanilla 2.2 - not sense.
vanilla 2.2 HTC OTA compatible keyboard has already been posted in this forum. I have it on my phone. I could search for it right now, but so can U . . .
Look here!

Can anyone make it into a flashable zip, I can seem to be able to install the .apk all it does is try to update the one I had in 2.1 and it fails

well the OP said he loved the multi touch keyboard from droid2/x but hate that its white. this is the multi touch keyboard but skinned to look stock 2.2

Just a heads up. Have always been a fan of xScope Browser but gave it up for a while as the new xScope 6 seemed buggy to me.
Not sure what has changed with recent updates, but the latest version is FAST, really really FAST. Also, lots of cool features. Anyway, check it out in the market. The bookmarking feature takes a little getting used to as it uses HTML to represent bookmarks, but I'm sure that is one reason it is so fast - less overhead. When working with bookmarks, the controls for how they appear are on the bottom of the page. You can do icons, lists, etc...
Also, it has tabs and if you press and hold a tab, all kinds of cool options appear.
Tried it, slow. Im running calkulins 1.6.1 and its about 4 times faster than xscope. Are you rooted ? It is faster than a stock ego but in my opinion its not even close to rooted.

Isn't calkulin a rom? xScope is a browser. How can you compare the two?
He means that the default browser in caulkins is better then xscope

I m using Xscope 6.21 and I am unable to view /data/ folder using its folder view. Though I can see all apks in /system/app. Is it supposed to not show data folder?
I've always been a fan of xscope, it has great media download options and a nice simple ui. Latest update supports themes, so expect for nice themes to be rolling out like the older versions. I think its built based off the stock browser just with some extra features.

Yeah the stock browser in calkulins new rom is faassst, I thought cyanogen and miui were fast but they don't even compare. Im a little off topic so my bad.
Is it possible to change the default google search from international to local(Aus)?
I have finally gotten my Aria rooted and running with both Liberated FR008 and CM 6.1. I am looking for people who have tried both and why they decided one or the other. I like the way CM lets you customize the Mod itself but I miss the Sense widgets that the Liberated has on it. I'm hoping that some of you have found things within either Rom that I have not discovered yet to push me in either direction. Thanks for the help.

CM without a doubt. Yea the sense widgets are nice and fancy but to be honest, that's a small sacrifice for complete customizability.

Do you use a Bluetooth headset with your Aria? If so, then CM 6.1 fully implements all of the BT Voice Dialing features that have been added to Froyo 2.2, whereas HTC has not fully implemented all of the BT Voice dialing features. Both of these ROMs will launch the Voice Dialing app by pressing the headset button, however, the Voice Dialing app can apparently be started in BT mode which allows you speak the voice command through the BT headset. On HTC Sense the Voice Dialing app will launch, but it is not running in BT mode, so you have to speak the commands into the phone's mic.
Another thing I noticed is that HTC is not using the Froyo email client which allows for a combined inbox.
Other than that, to each his own. I am running CM 6.1, but I have installed the HTC_IME keyboard; it is the only thing from Sense that I really missed.
They are both excellent roms, but I must agree with the above statements. Especially since CM is coming out with 2.3 for Aria hopefully in the near future.
I liked the sense widgets as well but I was able to fix that craving with beautiful widgets and launcher pro. Life is good on CM 6.1.1. Now if I could just fix my exchange bug that keeps showing up every couple of days...
None. I would choose Liberated R012. Works flawless and it doesn't lag like the Froyo ROM. CM is great but the basic android looks horrible to be honest.
A few things keep me on Sense, even though I really like CM. Last time I ran CM6, it did not have copy/paste in the Email app or the Browser whereas Sense has it. Gingerbread seems to have better text selection, so when that's available for Aria, I'm there!
Also, Gallery 3D does not run well on my phone.
Lockscreen gestures on CM are a pretty huge feature for me... without unlocking the phone, I can draw a heart to call my wife, an H to call home, a C to activate the camera and a V to activate the camcorder. You can use a gesture to do almost anything on the phone, so these are just a few basic examples.
guys I am looking at rooting my phone, but instead of flashing a whole new rom onto it, can I just do the root and have clockwork recovery installed, then can I install just the froyo update ontop of what I already have on my phone?

There is no Froyo update for your phone.
so the froyo rom thats release and is used by attn1 etc isnt that the froyo update? Cause I heard its available in Asia atm.
Also without the update or flashing a new room, but rooting the phone and installing titanium backup etc, I know that I can delete bloatware apps using titanium backup, can I also move apps to sd without having froyo installed but as the phone is rooted, will it allow me to do so?
Thanks again

ATTN is a rom, it is not an update. You have to start from scratch. Also you cannot remove bloatware with Titanium or any other app.
Liberated, but without sense launcher. I love the way sense sync does it's job and keep my contacts updated with their fb and twitter. I know there is ways for this in cm but its not the same. I use launcherpro because sense launcher is kinda laggy.
You will probably get bored sense Widgets after some time. I just like clock and weather widget and there is absolutely the same known as fancy widgets.

That's the kind of info I've been looking for, did not know CM could do that but still investigating the Rom. Thanks for the info.

I agree that R012 seemed more stable than FR008, and a tad more responsive. However, R012 does not support app2sd so I can't have as much crap on my phone as I do now. I did slim down the FR008 ROM a bit by removing the Mail, MMS, calendar apps, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube as well as most the Sense widgets (you delete them from ATTN1's zip file before flashing).
I have tried CM6, many people have good things to say about it but the UI just seems so... unpolished for lack of better word. Yeah, this is eye candy, but I like the Sense eye candy. Having 7 home screens helps too. Last but not least, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to disable the home screen animation and it annoys me to no end so CM had to go. Credit where credit is due... it does seem very zippy on the Aria.

Lag? Maybe it's because I am using Launcher Pro but my phone moves on both FR008 and CM 6.1.1. Very crisp and very responsive. The only thing that lags for me is the gallery app in CM. Everything in FR008 is butter.

I second launcherpro! I paid for launcherpro and beautiful widgets and I don't miss sense at all. Launcherpro has a nice calendar widget(like sense) and a nice messaging widget as well as some others. Launcherpro is faster than sense for me as well. Beautiful widgets can look just like the sense clock/weather widget but with tons of skins to choose from. Both are worth every penny.

No, you can't. Titanium backup will not do this on nand-locked phones, even with root. Until S-OFF is available for the Aria, it is nand-locked.
The Froyo IS available for the Aria if you have clockwork - just flash LA FR008 or CM6 - soon CM7.

so i updated to the 4.0 leak and so far its been great but the thing that bothered me the most is the crappy EQ that comes built into google music and the fact that samsung is still using the same old crappy gallary from 2.x! so i replaced them with the stock 4.0 gallery and the DSP manager from cm9 and they work perfectly!
just use root explorer to move the 2 .apks to /system/app than reboot
oh and if you want you can disable the samsung gallery so you wont have to deal with that crappy thing
edit: so i couldn't get the stock ics camera working as a system app but you can go ahead and install it as a user app, the only problem i'm having is the video camera crashes a lot
Great thank you, I love the ICS gallery.
I was wondering also if you could find the native ICS camera app , I would love to replace the samsung one.
Thanks again

Just tried out the stock camera from my transformer on cm9 and my skyrocket went black, vibrated a lot and crashed you could try camera ics+ or w/e is called, its in the play store but its a bit laggy on mine
Edit: I'll try and get the camera from my moms atrix on cm9, I'm not giving up that easily!
Thanks, but don't bother I have several camera apps but I saw some picture of the Vanilla ICS camera app and it looked great.
to late lol
thanks, works great (except video). I really don't understand why Samsung is keeping the old version
They did the same thing when they updated the original galaxy s to gingerbread, they're just trying to get use to buy the sgs3 when it comes out :/

Thanks! will test shortly. Update: All seem to work, Some parts of the new camera app I like, others not so much, like I can't disable shutter sounds, or tell it to save to my external SD card, whats up with that? The gallery is alright, they added a nice editor with instagram like effects which is cool and easy sharing. Though they removed the contrast/brightness/saturation sliders, which I liked. Everything seems to be a give and take :/
Edit 2: The new gallery allowed me to make scrolling backgrounds work again! WOOHOO.
Any other apps from ICS worth getting? or ICS specific apps from the market?
also, maybe you'd know, anyway to theme the top notification bar to be blue like standard ICS not white/green like GB?
Can anyone get the mms apk for the messaging app?
