I created this thread so not to clutter the ROM thread with verbiage of add-ons. Thank you so much Darchstar for a great ROM !!
!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684202 ( ROM LINK )
Now that we have a great (AOSP ) ROM for our Hero’s, we can start sharing themes, launchers and many other add-ons that work and have been tested on the Darchdroid v2 ROMS. Hopefully this thread will grow.
Being the first I would like to share that LauncherPro Beta ( can be downloaded from the market ) . This launcher is great and very fast .. almost 100% customizable and can be set to have up to 7 screens …
screen shots of launchpro beta at work..
Agreed on launcherpro.. I was using helixlauncher at first but launcherpro seems faster.
Anyone find any themes that play nice? I have tried 2 so far and got boot loops on both.
As for launchers I'm partial to ADW Launcher for Darch's rom. It's quick and very customizable which is the best part. Has the froyo taskbar look with 2 customizable main shortcuts and an app drawer for additional apps. Also gives the nifty swipe left to right for the main app drawer ala iphone, and the SenseUI style jump out screen preview.
My favorite feature by far though is the ability to hide the notification bar. Gives a really nice way to show off your wallpaper, especially since you can set it so the home button shows and hides it again so you can still check it.

EDIT : Also a question for everyone else.. is it possible to get the rotary lock on darchdroid? When the update comes out I'm probably gonna see if the metamorph for it will do it but I doubt it :/
Anyone check out Beautiful Live Wallpaper. Runs great on Darchdroid.

They have a weather skin called none to clear out the images on the widget so you dont always have 2 suns or 2 moons...I dont know if you really care but it irritated me having the repeating image.
How would a user go about using MetaMorph and this rom?

I want th eWeather / clock widget thats posted from the 2x I installed the apk file by downloading to the computer and adding to my phone then used appinstaller to install but it is not in my widgets. I do see it under my applications. Could someone please help me
It's in the Apps and themes section under LG apps or something like that. If you're not using a custom launcher like adw then then widget takes the entire screen. I am using MIUI Digital Weather, free on the market.

Right, I had this issue back on Froyo. I don't know why, but it only worked if I wasn't using a custom launcher. If you disable your launcher, it will work. I notice on 2.3.3 that LG calender widget doesn't appear on the widget menu.
I have the Stock LG camera on 2.3.3, zero lag.

Well, after pressing the button the camera has to adjust its focus and whatnot to take a good picture.

There is an almost identical one in the Market called 3D Digital Weather Clock. It will show up as a widget and works quite well.

That was the "almost identical" part of my comment. Sorry, I couldn't find an exact duplicate.
GO Weather is a similar widget and it's skinable to be flowery or several other things.

You need to put:
Iida*apk (except: Mail doesn't work outside Japan, Twitcheck doesn't deodex correctly)
WidgetHome.apk
Maintenance.apk (Calendar didn't appear to me until I added this one)
on /system/app with root explorer and fix permissions (change top row to x x x)
here is the file dump where you get the apks:
http://zen.itram.es/app_infobar_deodexed.zip
and here is a vid of it in action!
Works perfectly, though the beeping when you press something can get annoying
Cant get it to work like the video, it also fc's if i slide right.
weird it works fine for me, no fc
how did you get all the icons on the screen ? also which maintence apk do i install as there are a few ?

Click to expand...

the one that is only maintenance.apk, nothing else
The icons were already there. you don't have to install anything, just push it all to system/app
fix permissions, and reboot
done that, fixed permissions, and rebooted i still only get a blank screen , hmmmm not sure where ie gone wrong.
Wat is Basis Rom for this Launcher??

hey the rom is a cm7 derivative if I'm not mistaken.
It comes off of one of the iida phones.
The launcher should work on any rom though
interesting UI, reminds me of windows phone, touch looks a little unresponsive but i've never seen that phone before.
maybe our devs can create a rom with it and add tweaks.

Thanks Scooby, It's really interesting, Gonna keep it for a while
For disabling those annoying beeps no need to decompile & recompile
Just open iidahome.apk with 7zip or something & go to /res/raw & delete those two .wav files & you're done
Will this work on a MPDI device?

Hi there,
I would like to present to You Iidia Launcher which is a launcher from japanese phone Infobar A01. This is the video that shows how it looks:
Instalation and download link:
Here is the CWM package that I made with Launcher and its widgets just instal it via CWM (I tested it on i9000 and i9100 but it should work on ANY phone):
http://www.multiupload.com/TH7VSEACRU
In order to uninstall it just remove all "Iidia....apk" from /system/app
There are now two themes for this launcher avaiable in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=74
What is working:
-Launcher it self
-Weather Widget but it shows only weather for Japan
-Clock Widget
-RSS Widget
-Memo Widget
-Photo Frame Widget
-Calendar Widget
What is not working:
-E-Mail Widget
-Phone Widget
-All widgets not related to launcher
-Launcher sounds can be silenced only with other media sounds
-Other stuff I did not find
Developement:
Currently I can not work on this to make it more usable (i don't have time and I don't really now how) so
anyone who can and knows how to is welcome to work on this.
Things that needs to be done are:
-Fixing not working Iidia Widgets
-Adding the ability to add other widgets
-Making it more customizable
-Adding more languages support (Only English and Japanese now)
-Other ideas?
Here are some links that are essential for futher work:

i have the launcher all setup, and added the English badges, but does anybody know how to disable the launcher's Lock screen? Even when I use a different launcher it's still the default launcher. I assume the option is there, but i can't find it.

To disable the lock screen, all you need to do is kill its process from startups. It works like I want it now.

This is mLauncher It's built for the nexus player and may work on other androidTV products. It lists all your apps including your sideloaded ones. Only has a couple features but here they are:
Display all your apps, set wallpaper, reboot, power off.
update: 2/28/16
changed the ui a little
DECREASED APP SIZE BY SEVERAL MBS!!!!!!
fixed the built in wallpaper switcher so that it displays all pictures in /sdcard/Pictures
Things to note:
Reboot and power off require root (Why haven't you done it yet?).
For the wallpapers function to work you have to sideload a wallpapers app on your NP.
To open quick settings press play on the remote Y on the game pad.
update 8/23/15
changed ui a little
added clock
fixed settings issue
Isn't it unnecessary to have a power off function on the Nexus Player? If it's an actual shut down rather than a sleep mode, then it would require the user to unplug power from their device and plug it back in before it could be used again.
I've got mine hooked up to a light switch so when I'm about to go to sleep and too lazy to get up it works great. Next day just flip the switch. I was experimenting with deep sleep but the way the stock Rom is set up to get it to work you have to remove daydream from the system and it takes a minute. I think on cm12 it would work. I could add the feature pretty easily. I was gonna add a shortcut to overscan and fix a small issue this week. Just let me know I'll put it in there.

Here's a beta release that fixes an issue I've been having with the app list not updating when you uninstall or install an app. It's a pretty dirty hack but seems to work okay. Remember this is beta and I'll be looking at different ways to implement it. So if your uninstalling and installing apps a lot give it a shot but if not pass on this.

Beta release
Here's a beta release with new sleep function. It requires root access click it and screen goes into deep sleep. There's another way to do this without root but it requires you to change backdrop to none and it takes 10 seconds. Not very functional in my book. Everything else is working great. Thanks
