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

[Q] Sense UI for Captivate?

Hey everybody, I have tried to search around and I have found no luck, but does anyone know if they have ported the sense ui and can you load it on the captivate? maybe a dumb question i dunno but i figured i would give it a try.

Not yet. Mostly everyone has been working on the gps issues and lag fixes.

just use Launcher Pro and then find a .apk file for fancy widget (a copy of the clock), it's not sense, but its much snappier than the stock captivate launcher and it has some HTC like widgets in the paid version, I find it very functional ^_^

Ive tried several different launchers including launcher pro but i found that i like adw launcher the best. You can download a sense theme for it from the market. I previously had samset 1.5 & 1.8 installed which includes the clock widget. After i synced to app brain i was able to reinstall it after i flashed a different rom. This is pretty much my ui of choice. It has been running great, plus you can enable horizontal swipe in the app drawer via adw settings which i find to work more smoothly. Hope that might have helped some for the time being.

Thank You! I too have been looking for a version of sense for the Captivate. This does a good job of pulling off the over all look and feel!

Another vote for the paid version of Fancy Widget. Very customizable and can be made to look just like Sense.

Sense UI isn't just a skin or launcher like TouchWiz. It actually replaces a lot of stuff in the ROM and has its own framework. You can't just "add" it to a ROM. It IS the ROM. I don't think you'll have it running on Galaxy S phone anytime soon.

[Q] Go Launcher EX issue

I'm having an issue with Go Launcher Ex and was wondering if anyone has seen it or has had the same issue. My Apps and Widgets are getting removed/moved/copied from home screen to home screen. This is what i did:
added apps and widgets to pages 1 - 5
reboot phone
page 1 looks good
page 2 has page 3 apps/widgets
page 3 is good (default home page)
page 4 has page 5 apps
page 5 sometimes is good, sometimes has page 4 apps
My phone setup:
Infused 2.2.3
Infusion Core A
Universal Adrenaline Shot xix
TransFuzion 2.1 theme
Go Launcher EX as Default launcher
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Skot

I had this as well with dlev but I'm running go now with cm7 and I've had no issues.
If you turn auto rotate off it should solve it. It did for me.

I did not try this yet. I've just been using the built in switcher.
I'll give it a shot. Although, I am thinking about switching over to dlev since Infused is the first ROM I've ever flashed.

yea.. no, i didnt use the desk migrage feature. I did download the Home Manager as recommended by Go Launcher, but they mentioned it was only if you could not set it as default (which is not my problem). My problem still exists after using Home Manager to switch launchers.
and i agree Go Launcher EX is awesome but this home screen thing is killing me. Launcher Pro works but i dont like it as much.
i'm thinking about reflashing the back up i took right after i flashed Infused to get rid of the TransFuzion theme just in case is some kind of compatibility issue and see if i still have the problem.

I don't remember. I messed with it so much. I went ahead and restored my backup without wiping data (which already had TransFuzion installed) and re-installed Go Launcher. Tested it with default settings, seemed fine. Installed the same Go Launcher theme I had before, still seems fine. Now I just have to re-flash my kernel and modem that I had.

I ran go for a while and never had this issue.
I prefer ADW Ex though.

i restored my backup and re-flashed my kernel and modem. everything is good to go now, havent had any more issues.
I'll check out adw. i'm still researching all this stuff, so, i'll try anything twice... because the first time could have just been a bad experience.

Only after I got it stable again. I restored my backup which was Infused 2.2.3 with the TransFuzion theme applied. then installed Go Launcher EX, tested it. then installed Infusion Core A then UCKJ2 modem, tested it. then installed Universal Adrenaline Shot, tested it. Then applied some Go Launcher themes, tested it some more.
It's all stable now, haven't had any issues.
**The only tweak I had on before that I have not applied is the build.prop edits. I may/may not put those in, I haven't decided yet.

[Q] is there any app/ROM that gives double-tap support like ADW?

One of the things I really like about the version of ADW that comes with CM7 is the ability to configure the "double-tap" feature...a feature that's lost on the ADW EX. I had to switch to GO Launcher anyway, b/c I needed folder support in the app drawer.
Does anyone know of an app that brings back the customizable double-tap?
Thanks, and thanks for all the great work, everyone.

Pull the apk out of CM7, install it on your current ROM, and see if that works.

I thought adw still had that... well the market version used to have it. I dunno. but yeah there is no perfect launcher. sorry I don't have a suggestion. maybe a home switcher or lockscreen app since both types of apps sometimes hijack the home key to make sure they always work and will then call up the launcher app.

The free version does, but not the pay version, oddly enough.

I'm running CM7 as my ROM now. The double-click is part of the ADW bundled with it, which I don't want to use b/c of no folder support. There wouldn't be a separate .apk for just the double click, would there? I'd imagine that'd be part of the ADW?

Give it a try. Normally apps are bundled into their own apk files.

Has a working solution ever been found to address this issue?

[Q] tweeked 3.0 ROM ?

Just upgraded to tweeked 3 and have some problems:
1. I can't find the voicemail app & don't know how to call VM. where do I get the app?
2. Buddies now is missing. Won't restore via titanium backup.
3. I migrated from eclipse rom. How do I get the eclipse rom keyboard and colors?
4. Howdo Irestore the default power on and power off animations?
5. Verizon Data APP / My veerizon forces close on startup.
I think that is it for now. Will post when I have some time to play with it.

1. You don't need the app for voicemail. Just dial *86 or hold down 1 in the dialer.
2. Buddies now is considered bloat and you can only use it on the stock launcher anyway. If you want it it is in tweaktools.
3. I believe eclipse keyboard was either a themed ICS or themed Swype (I don't remember which - it was too long ago). Either way both are available if you search. As for the colors - since Nitro stopped working on the charge we don't have that, but there are a lot of themes on tweaktools.
4. Tweaktools
5. It works fine for me. Could be a bad flash, could be something else.
And I guess we have another nocturnal person here.

The vvm stuff was also deemed bloat, but all of that stuff can be restored using tweaktools OR the system apps and system app flasher in the tweaked op. Jihad has you covered on the rest (thanks Jihad).

I got the verizon app to work after deleting and reinstalling. The rest I can live with till I have a chance to research Tweaktools. Most of the stuff is minor and just me being picky as I'm not yet used to the tweeked ROM.
Tweakedtools: doesn't seem to be working. I can get into the menu and install a theme and buddies now, but they don't act as though they ever got installed. even rebooted. What the heck?

You don't have CWM installed? I doubt it works with stock recovery. When you installed Tweaked did you use the Odin version without CWM? You should get and install CWM.
The only 2 boot animations that work are Stock Galaxy S boot and Stock DROID boot. They use the Samsung format that works with the stock kernel. Themes should work though.

Ok. Now I understand. I did use oden version without cwm. Now I need to oden cwm and I'll be good to go.
EDIT:
Thanks for the info, everything works.
Now I need to find a suitable keyboard---possibly one that mirrors the one in the eclipse rom.
On another note, I'm not all that happy with any of the included themes. How to I create the theme I want?

If you know Java and smali, you can rip apart the framework and make your own theme.

I have no idea on how to work with Java or what smali is.
I do have the old eclipse ROM. can't i take the theme files from there and somehow load them to the phone?
Regarding the keyoard, I couldn't get that swipe one to install as the app keeps asking me to login and I don't know how to generate a username and password. I'm now thinking that it was a Samsung keyboard, but I could be wrong.

Smali is basically the decompiled Android version of Java. In Android, everything gets packed up in .dex files for the Dalvik VM (Android's optimized version of the Java VM), and when you decompile them, you get Smali. It's like Java, but "distorted", for lack of a better word. If you know how to read Java, you can feel your way around, but it's different enough that even if you're good with Java, you'll have to relearn some things for Smali.

well...I did some searching on line and I think the stock theme that comes preloaded at the factory is what I want to get back to. Also the default Samsung keyboard is the one I want.
I'm leaning towards tossing tweaked out the window rather than getting frustrated. If I do that what do I loose and how would I add root to stock?
also, I can't manage to get the phone to vibrate when i tap the screen. Haptic feedback. How do I turn it on?

No. What you think of as "files" are a series of edits in the framework. Obviously the framework for Tweaked is for Tweaked, and Eclipse is for Eclipse. If you're going to try to interchange these things you may as well just reinstall Eclipse.
For Swype, I'm not sure what you're talking about. There's a big honking button that says "register" on the website.

Not sure what you're looking at. The theme in Eclipse is NOTHING like the dickbutt gold (or pumpkin and poo) in stock. And the stock Samsung keyboard is God awful. Why not try something like SwiftKey 3? Swype is pretty good too, and it's free.
To root after restocking, all you would need to do is flash the SuperUser or SuperSU (whichever is your preference) zip in CWM. When you move from Tweaked (the only current custom ROM on the charge, by the way) you lose essentially everything. Dwitherell has put in numerous tweaks to improve the UI speed, and he has put in TSM parts... Plus you'll be back to the bloated whale this phone is at stock.
I believe most of the haptic feedback was removed in Tweaked because most view it as an annoying useless feature. I could be completely wrong but I don't really feel anything even though my haptic feedback is on.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

I did nothing that would add or eliminate haptic feedback (outside of the entry in tsmparts, but I did nothing to hook that in if it needed hooking). Also, the stock samsung keyboard is called AxT9IME.apk. Sorry Tweaked is not to your liking. Have you tried the tw4 theme? That seems closer to the stock look at least. I didn't think anyone used it, but I can do a little work and get a stock theme variant together if you want. Also, rumor is some theme options will be added/returning soon...
And for what its worth flashing something different is a far better alternative then anything to do with a window.

Thanks for all the useful info. I must start by saying that i do like tweaked. It is much faster than what i had with eclipse. That said im not sure how much is due.to the rom and what is due.to the upgrade ota. I believe its mostly the rom. Way to go!
As for colors im not opposed to whats available im just used to what i had. The big complaint is that the calendar widgit does not have black text on a white background. Its not as legible but not horible. I can live with it. Im surprised there is no way to change colors like there is in windows control panel. Or an app for that. Oh well.
Thanks for.the keyboard.info. I'll take a look for it at lunch. As for missing the register button...it was to early to be doing anything tech.
Im sure that over time ill get more used to tweaked and be glad ro be uding it.
One last request...stock shutdown animation
Thats enough for now.

To be fair most of the speed change is due to the OTA - most of the edits made were the same as they were in the FP1 version, so I can't really take credit for that sort of thing. I don't have nor do I pretend to have the sort of skill necessary to do such things
As far as the stock shutdown animation, if there's some interest I could try to get that together. It required a number of framework.jar edits to switch the shutdown animation focus from reading a .qmg file to displaying a sequence of .pngs, so I would have to undo that sort of thing to make the shutdown.qmg work again. It wouldn't be too hard, so if there's some interest in that I can put something together and throw it on tweaktools.

I have interest but am not sure who else does and if its worth the time.
I googled the keyboard apk and downloaded it but it will not install. Is there a certain version that i need?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app

FWIW, I really lock the Tweaked Shutdown animation. Just need to find a sound byte to go with that (for those occasions when my phone shuts down without me knowing) - thinking of getting something from Southpark's tweak.
as for keyboards, have you tried ICS Keyboard? best in my experience.

Ice is not my thing. I just like the Samsung keyboard best. Just can't find a copy that installs.
Also what about stock screenshot setting?
