EDIT: it seems as if a lot of people are having problems with this. about half the people get it working, and half don't. i recommend that you test out Launcher2 first before setting it as your home launcher. I'll try and see what's going on and why it doesn't work right. for now, though, pushing the libs is confirmed to make lwps like the nexusmod on helix.
EASIER WAY: USE RECOVERY TO FLASH THE SIGNED ZIP ATTACHED ON BOTTOM.
okay, so konikub posted the market app that gets the nexus launcher working on our ROMs, but it seemed a bit slow and the app drawer wasn't very intuitive for me, as i had to press the back key and everything for it to work. so, i found out a way to get the REAL nexus one Launcher2.apk to work on DamageControl v1, but i haven't test on fresh 2.0b2 or anything else.
the main two files that are needed to get the launcher2.apk to work seem to be libRS.so and librs_jni.so
since i used waffle 2.1 as my first ROM and the nexus launcher worked, albeit unstable at times, i looked there first. when compared with DamageControl, the necessary libs are missing.
so, the libs that i'm posting are taken straight from bikcmp's Waffle 2.1 ROM.
it's a pretty simple procedure, since you're just placing the libs in the right folder
step 1: extract the libRS.so and librs_jni.so to a folder where you know the location
step 2: push the files to /system/lib
Code:
adb remount
adb push <location of libRS.so> /system/lib
adb push <location of librs_jni.so> /system/lib
adb reboot
step 3: install launcher2.apk
Code:
adb remount
adb push <location of Launcher2.apk> /system/app
adb reboot
and then it works!
so far, it's been stable for me after a few reboots, and i don't get any force closes like i did when i used it on bikcmp's waffle ROM.
any problems, just pm me or post a reply.
if things don't work on the first try, like your bootscreen just keeps on going and going, just reboot your phone. after i set it to my default homescreen and rebooted, my bootscreen kept going on and on and on, even though the lockscreen and whatever else was definitely loaded. i'm not using the htc lockscreen, so i knew where the unlock button was, and when i touched there, it vibrated. i could 'unlock' the phone but it stayed at the bootscreen.
so when in doubt, just reboot
see below for all three files. i put it all into one zip for convenience.
enjoy!
EDIT: oh, and live wallpapers DO work. i've tested some from the market, but it seems as if (AGAIN) it's the nexusmod one that doesn't play nice and freezes your phone but i do recommend the Substrate (search Substrate in market) lwp, they're pretty fancy and they look nice too! performance isn't too bad either
Konikub requested a flashable zip for this. it's in post #5, but for those who are too lazy to scroll down, i'll post it here too
naturally, its named launcher2-signed.zip
UPDATE: i just tested this, but JIT works if you use this launcher! just follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637419
when i first installed it, though, my bootscreen just stayed and kept going for a good ten minutes. for some reason, the lockscreen still 'worked', as in you could unlock the phone underneath but it'd still display the boot animation. i just pressed the SEND+END+MENU button combo to reboot the phone, and it worked! if you get a few FCs at first, just make sure you press the 'Force Close' option. if you reboot again, it should work.
there's always the possibility that it'll screw up your phone(not a brick, i mean like it wont boot, etc.), and if it does, just go to recovery and follow the instructions to restore dalvik w/o JIT (in the link).

launcher2 works out of the box on my testing rom, just push it to /system/app. i already have the necessary libs in place.

well, i guess it's for people using damage's and fresh's rom
This might be pushing it...but I have been with out a computer screen for a few days now (it died), and have been running off my hero since. I have no way to pushfiles to my phone...is there any chance you can package up the launcher2 apk to be flashed, and I will put it on Darchs ROM....?
Thanks either way man!!!!
Question, does this launcher have the 4 shortcuts cause thats bout as slick as have 7 screens and as sliced bread.
konikub: attached!
Tipharet: no, that's only in the helixlauncher app
it's a nice feature, but this is just for those who want the 'real' nexus one feel to it, with the 3d app drawer and the dots on the bottom. otherwise there isn't much of a difference.
though personally, i prefer this to the helixlauncher.
Just curious, does the nexus launcher still have the sense widgets enabled? Say im just trying to take Rosie phone,app,and add button away; all I want is the little square down at the bottom that leads to my app drawer.
This knowledge will also help in development of a custom UI I am wotking on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Side note: like one of the other posters, I am not familiar with the sdk or changing files through the computer. However, I managed to root my phone, andinstall a custom ROM, all FROM MY PHONE.. Never once did I connect to my PC. Point being, Ive basically cooked my own roms from my phone. I am running DamageV1 and through terminal emulator was able to uninstall the bloatware that came along with it. I have a DamagedPancake LOL. Is it possible to push these files through t.e. or could someone post a update.zip that woulde removie just the RosieBar and leave only the boxlauncher?
Cheers
is there way a to revert back to the default sense ui?
sinistermeshes: unfortunately, you can't keep the sense widgets and not be using sense itself. something about the framework prevents you from being able to access or use HTC widgets if you aren't using sense. i also don't believe you can make the sense bar only be an app drawer. there was a thread starter a few days ago about mapping the buttons to different areas, but it was deemed not possible, or at least probably not going to happen.
the signed zip that i posted here only makes your phone's homescreen look, act, and feel just like what it does on the nexus one homescreen. no htc widgets (i know, i'm sad too =/)
vox: yeah, you can go to appliations and clear defaults. but the best way is to go to the market and install Home switcher. its very useful when dealing with homescreens and all.
works 100% perfectly, thanks OP.
personally, i started liking the helix launcher better than nexus, it allows only 2 screens, and you can put icons on the bottom. and, after pushing the libs, the nexus MOD wallpaper in market works with helix launcher!
im so happy right now
Really nice work.. All we need now is to remove the black notifcations bar and replace it with the white one and we can have a AOSP-Like rom
Just did this from my hero and it worked like a charm thanks a million for the signed zip I freaking love the nexus launcher and its really smooth
i cant seem to get the nexusmod lwp to work.. i downloaded it but i dont know how to set it.
i don't think the nexusmod lwp works if you use the launcher that's included.
but, if you use helixlauncher, it does work.
but first, you have to manually push LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and LiveWallpapers.apk to /system/app. they're posted on another thread, i believe.
i got it now i had to flash livewallpapaerpicker.apk

I tried running it with hexilauncher and it just froze my phone...
justin, thanks for the lib file find. got the "modded Nexus" working with helix. I think I am going to stick with that just for the 7 screens but great find man.
NexusMod only works with helix. but its a bit laggy. if you use it on any other homescreen like nexuslauncher or home it just crashes.
Do we still have to push the lib files even with the zipped file that you provided... I nay have to wait toll I get home then
anyone gotten live wallpapers working??? i downloaded several and they are not in the wallpapers...
okay, so we all know that the 3d gallery app had some issues when you rotated the screen. it'd get all messed up and stuff cause the resolution of that was for the nexus one's screen(a lot larger than the hero). so i'm assuming that because of that, a lot of people would just rather use HTC's album app(just an assumption)
but, i realized when i was testing out darch's aosp rom(darchdroidv2), the gallery app rotated fine. so i'm just posting it here so anybody who wants it can have it
now, obviously, this isn't my work or anything. i don't know whether or not darch edited the apk to make it rotate right, or whether he got it from somewhere else, but still, the credit goes to him for putting it there. i just found it
attached below.
It's something in the ROM that makes it rotate fine, not the .APK. I've been installing the same .APK in every ROM I've tried and the first one I noticed where rotation works was the new DamageControl. Rotation with this .APK is still messed up in DarchLegend.
yep men is fixed thanks and i running fresh 2.0.1D
Thanks for sharing. This is better than the one I found previous.
Hi guys. I got my hands on some DI14 files from the Mesmerize and decided to cook up a ROM. This ROM is very lightweight (removed as much touchwiz stuff as I could), and is very similar the version I have released for the Fascinate.
[warning]THIS IS ONLY FOR THE USCC MESMERIZE!!! DON'T FLASH ON ANY OTHER PHONE!!! IF YOU DO, I WILL LAUGH AT YOU!!![/warning]
Features:
Latest versions of :
Google Maps
ADWLauncher
Google Voice
Google Street View
Superuser
YouTube
Aosp or additional apps:
DeskClock
FileManager
Gallery3D
Mms
Music Player
Other stuff:
bash / bmlunlock / busybox / nano / redbend_ua / strace binaries are included
fully functional terminfo for bash
lots of extra ringtones/sounds pulled from aosp
SGS boot and shutdown animations
LOTS of stuff removed, don't have a list, sorry.
Also included in the package is a custom kernel, which allows use of aosp style bootanimations (among other things) and has been optimized for speed and reliability. - kernel has been removed
Enjoy.

WARNING: I do not have a Mesmerize so I cannot test anything myself. This ROM has been tested by a few people, but, if you have issues try wiping data, otherwise, please let me know of any bugs. Thanks.
testing now...
Flashed this a few minutes ago. Seems much snappier than stock. JT, can't thank you enough. I'll report back after I've used it a bit.
~Sophos
about to test it thanks
seems to work well the lock screen seems quicker but im having some pauses when in some apps. was wondering the name of the twitter and facebook feed app that comes standard on mesmerize liked that app but found it was missing in this rom
8hrs and going well. Couldn't get custom boot animation or BLN to work with kernel update so I flashed back to the 1130 kernel. Once I finish the final touches on this boot animation I'll upload it.

They are missing because they are bloat. Hence the "Super" in Super Clean ROM. The less in it from the start, the cleaner the build. There can and will be variations to this ROM, I'm sure, now that JT has been kind enough to give us a starting point. The pauses you are experiencing, I believe, are writes. When a ROM is deodexed, the .odex files are placed back into the apk for various reasons, including themes, causing the system to have to have to perform a few extra writes to cache. This should speed up as you use your phone. As I said, I believe this is correct, but I'm still learning so this may not be exactly what is happening. In testing the previous builds, I noticed the same thing and that this went away with use.
The only thing that I see as an issue is BLN doesn't appear to work. Oh well. Maybe in a future build.
Any way to get the original messaging working i like the way it shows the messages and maybe your navigator from uscc.
Link to Tom not working can someone post again please and thank you
Rom sorry....................my bad

I will post a zip with all the stock apk's (deodexed as needed) when I have a chance, unless someone beats me to it

All stock deodexed apk's located here http://ge.tt/3mWj9TK in a zip file. Files are not necessarily named the same in apk form as in the app drawer. Also, not all apk's are apps from the app drawer.
As usual, use at your own risk. Make a backup before you use.... yada yada yada.

Thanks... I'm looking through and I can't find two apps, not sure if they're there, or if they are, what the actual .apk names are... First is the stock Messaging app and the second is the My Navigator app. Not a huge fan of the messaging in this rom, if I can restore an apk to get back what it was like I'd be much happier.

Stock messaging app is mms.apk, but we are having a problem trying to get it back in the ROM. It seems to be the only one that doesn't want to go back in at this time, but it is being looked in to. My Navigator is USCC_Samsung_Galaxy_S-1059.apk I believe. I know it is one of the ones with USCC or uscellular in it.
i am 99.9% sure it wont
but does the wii mote work now? or is there any hope hat it will at some time
I tried my best to debloat GOV3 as much as possible. But even now, I'm getting PM's from some people who wish to get some old apps back into the GOV3. My answer as a whole to add it into GOV3 is a no, because I want people to experience the fastest, yet smallest I could manage (please understand where I'm coming from). However, the requests vary from TouchWiz Calendar, the old stock SMS app, and some others.
My advice to you guys (I don't want to leave you in the dark here hence why I'm making this post) is to simply download both GOV2 and GOV3.3 and drag'n'drop the .apks you want from GOV2's /system/app/ folder to GOV3.3's /system/app/ folder.
If you need help doing this, let me know. I know it's simple, but some don't even know what WinRAR is.
All the best,
TLS.
I <3<3<3 GOV2! When I was "ROM shopping" the one I really loved the looks of was nowhere to be found [older version of one and the newer version had an unappealing color scheme - I realize that is vain and petty] but the option to control the screen brightness by rubbing the status bar was intriguing [and worked beautifully, thanks to whoever programed that nugget] and I really loved the overall improvement in the phone. Not a fan of Launcher Pro but that was easily remedied...
In GOV2 I've already snipped out what I didn't want, swapped launchers, and dropped in the other stuff I wanted but I cannot figure out how to put back the Samsung keypad... I really missed the T9 layout [lame, I know]. I looked through the lib and usr directories, but it looked like everything was there but the apk... yet when dropped in, no love. Was my problem that it hadn't been dropped in prior to flashing? I just had to exchange my SK I now get to redo this whole process [yippee skippee] so I could try it that way... I am going to feel slightly dumb if that is the source of my problems...
Also, I noticed a thread about a kernel which removed the keylogger from the SK [and only flahsing it on a KJ2 blahblahblah]... the kernel under GOV2 [or 3] also strips the keylogger or no? Just curious.
I will be reflashing soon [possibly tomorrow if I cannot wait till Friday evening when I have actual free time] as I just cannot take the stock ROM for much longer [it has only been since Monday night]... today it crashed so hard that it couldn't reboot... it just did the 2 vibrate again and again and again until I finally took pity on it and held the buttons so it would reboot. Poor feble thing... lol.
