Hey guys,
Is anyone brave enough to test the full feature 1.5 build of Open Home Full? We know we can always find some brave ones here
It requires that you are running android 1.5 on your phone (aka Cupcake). This build has full supports of 1.5 widgets and also a good amount of stability and performance improvements.
We had not done a lot of testing on this build; also this build will expire in a month (5/30). If you want to test the latest and greatest, feel free to install and try this build.
*Remember safe mode is hold menu button when powering on*, if you see anything wrong, just enter safe mode and then uninstall it.
Do NOT install unless you are running android 1.5
Download the apk at
http://groups.google.com/group/openhome/files
I assume since I'm running the dudes build and it supports widgets it may work. I can always remove if necessary . This doesnt remove open home right? just a different version?
EDIT: it replaces the existing open home
Hmm, I was impressed with the demo of OpenHome when I downloaded it a couple days ago. I'll take a look.
downloading it now. I have just flashed the holiday cupcake build so I assume it'll work with this. I'll let you know.
So far so good. I am glad to have openhome back again in 1.5
I have added all widgets, and they all work as expected. Are some of these the 1.5 "stock" widgets? I assume so because i see 2 music widgets listed, one looks like your own and the other a stock one.
I'll let you know how it goes after some proper usage. great work so far though. thankyou.
oh, p.s .. Will this be a free upgrade for those who had previosly purchased open home full ?
Works well enough. I like it.
Normally use full edition but will keep this until it is updated.
Suggestion: How about that calendar widget from Haykuro's build so those with dude's builds can use it?
Using it. Works well so far. I'm an OH Full user too, will I have any problems going back to the market app when it gets updated/released?
Ps. Is there any way to add support for Jeff Sharky's weather widgets? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509729
Weather widgets ok here. Problem with battery percentage widget though

It's already supported. That weather widget is working fine for me.
Hey guys i like the changes the menus are a little more intuitive now! Shame it doesn't seem to maintain your icons from older version, but weirdly kept my fonts theme etc - not sure if that qualigfies as a bug or not really
One problem i have found though is it seems to scrap folder icons the second you open bettercut again, not a huge problem but ....
BUGS!
I have almost 200 apps to SD so it's convenient to have my favorite "few" on the desktop. After I installed the new apk file... everything was GONE! Huge inconvenience! Then when I pull up the app menu I can watch them appear one after another like the app is doing a search for the installed apps. I also tried Picture Frame. It seems like it pulls up the Camera app, then the gallery. I selected my picture. Cropped it. Saved it. Then it went back to "select picture" again. Strange. Also... AnyCut Open Home Edition doesn't work. Definite bugs.
Other then that I love it. Thanks! Is this going to be in an update and when will it be available in Market? I purchased the full version months ago.

I don't think it has anything to do with bettercut because I don't have it installed and it still goes back to the default folder icons randomly, sometimes it comes back sometimes it doesn't.

Yea that kind of pissed me off when I realized it took all my stuff off the screen and the dock. It works fine besides these few issues though.

Hey quick question, is there any way to add a 3d effect on swipe? Like when you swipe to left or right screen, screen shrinks and rotates as a 3d cube. That will be awesome dude, you can name the app something different and charge for it again because I know damn well people will pay for it. I definitely will.

The reguar widget works for me, but not his. It isn't even displayed as an option.
Trying it out on my new Magic
But it's not 'open' in any sense...
Really dissapointed in losing all of my icons on all 7 screens. Glad that "real" widget support was actually added in. Almost went back to dxTop because of this. Please make the full version available on the market as an upgrade to the old full version. It would be nice to make it detect the old settigns and import them in.

Opps. You have to wipe now.
Just kidding. You deal with it the same way as if you would set the defaults as any other app. Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Home>Clear defaults.
Been using this app for a few days now.I havent ran into any problems with it pretty smooth.Only down side was losing my icons.But no biggie.
Just wondering what you guys have tweaked on Master's rom (the one I currently love using) to make it run the way you like it.
I have:
1. Reverted the dialer to the stock by copying the dialertabactivity to /system/app using root explorer
2. Found and installed a working Wifi calling apk (the first 2 I tried had various problems no incoming voice etc.)
3. Changed the system font to something a little more standard looking.
4. Changed the browser setting to Autofit Pages, so that when you double tap or turn the phone to landscape/portrait the words reorder and are easily readable. Changed the text size in Email app to small so it doesn't look huge (default is medium)
Oh and if you use his rom and enjoy it as much as I do, donate to master. His work has been beyond awesome so far.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748916 (where I got the font from, many others to choose from)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807116 (where I got the wifi calling from, using the one for htcvision)
I added the Black theme located (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845530)
And a black Multi touch keyboard ( some where in the themes section )
Guess I'm kind of not using Axura lol.
I love the Aura for battery life & speed, but the default theme is fugly.
Anyone has a way to change the notification bar to more stockish?
Thank you and god for getting rid of that crappy dialer and the font..
worst thing that master did..
thank you so much
I very much dislike the dialer too, I like the stock original dialer. Going to try and install that. Also don't like the font.
One last thing, I very much like the android keyboard, where can I get the apk for it? I'm using the htc keyboard right now, but for the life of me I can't turn of haptic feedback, even though vibration and haptic is turned off everywhere.

The theme is the only thing keeping me from giving this bad boy a test drive. I hear good comments about it but don't like the theme, I am more into ASOP kind of roms/themes.

Luck is not on my side today. Tried replacing the dial apk with the one you provided, and it says I don't have enough space. I even deleted the one master provided, then went and tried to place the one you provided into system/app still says i don't have enough space. Huh?
One other thing, I don't like how the pull down notification bar is transparent, makes reading notifications in the pull down annoying when you see other stuff below it, will changing the theme change this to a non-transparent pull down?
Brand new axura user.
Wow, that dailer is indeed ugly.
Thanks for the stock version
You can also adb push the Dialer
One of the primary reasons I stuck with Axura over Macnut or Obsidian was the beautiful theme Master has put over it.
Why would you guys use Axura and then reskin it?
ya, i just went ahead installed the Font and selected it in the settings. Much better.
I also went ahead copied the provided Dialer app and put it in System/App - again much better.
Keep coming with your tweaks bud.
We like the animation however the font is not compatible to vietnamese and the dial is not looking good. Just my though

I like Masters roms the best. The affects are great, very smooth and very fast. I like his themes as well. Not sure why people don't like the dialer its different but that is what makes it nice.
I am wondering is there a way to get the drop down icons in the notification bar back from 2.0.3 I really like those alot better than the 2.0.5 plain icons.

Are you using root explorer? If so you just have to unzip the file and drop the apk into the /system/app directory. Make sure you are in r/rw mode when you tryo to copy it or it will not let you make changes in the /system/app folder. After that just reboot the phone. You do not have to install it. Any apk in that folder wil automatically work upon reboot. It should show up as the "phone" icon in the all programs menu.
The font is terrible. It is cool for about 5 seconds and then it is just annoying and hard to read. Makes you wonder if things you can't see are as screwy as the things you can see.
Thanks for posting an alternative

If you don't like the zegoe font posted, click the source under the original post. There are about 30 or so there. I'm sure you'll find a good one.

Yes using root explorer. yes I unziped the file first, isolated the dialer apk. Tried moving it to system/app while in r/w but to no avail. Says not enough space.
Is there a tweek for the radio?
While I was on JI6, I was getting a strong 3G signal. Since flashing Axura, I'm mostly on edge now, my 3G signal is very weak now.
Anyone know why?
Flash
ji6 modern on top then you'll be fine.

HONEYCOMB MUSIC PLAYER
for the Epic 4G
Zip provided courtesy of DearmasFamily
This is the HoneyComb MusicPlayer ported to the Epic. I applied it to the Bonsai 2.0.1 rom with sucess. What bugs I've noticed are 2. The controls in the status bar pull down aren't there but a notification that opens the app is. Also I noticed music skipping when heavy use or long scrolling a list. Let's get some more testers and see how it works across multible roms. This player was written for a minimum api of Froyo. That means no dice for 2.1. The update zip is edify but I had no success from clockwork. Instead extract the files to your sd and use root explorer to move them in place but remember to fix the permissions. Match them to the other files in system which is all the first row top to bottom checked and the first box on the second row from within rootexplorer.
Alternatively you can adb push these files and change the permissions as well if you know how to do that. This is a work in progress and works well for a drop in port.

I manually mounted system, but it still didn't take. Let me know what you come up with.
yup, script issue. they had set_progress instead of show_progress and the mount commands were hokey so i think it was just failing for syntax. the attached works like a charm and i left the dearmas ui print and everything in tact
Thank you very much. I have a PM from Skeet07 with a fixed version as well. Thank both of you for tweaking the update zip.
initial take on first few minutes is i'm really digging the interface. actually my biggest pet peeve on the stock music player is the default tab is "all." seriously? i want to see every individual track and not first go by artist and maybe album? so the default view is key and expanding to albums when you pick an artist is sexy.
it audio skipped for a second when i backed out and while it put the notification on the pulldown, no biggie. and obviously we arent going to get the pulldown controls for a drop and port, but that would be nice! at least we have the ongoing notification to easily pull up the player if needed. and i like how if you have a track playing and you move around in the player that it keeps the now playing nice and neat at the bottom. very cool
will provide more feedback on use and function later.
Very well put and note on the epic you can still use the stock player as well
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
oh, and that being said, i paused the honeycomb player and opened the stock player and the 2 were definitely in conflict with one another. controls for one were hitting the other. so yeah you can use both but keep it to one at a time, lol
The player is supposed to disable the froyo player so this might be part of the"chopping", I'll look into it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
further review:
after using the player a bit more, i noticed a few more things. REALLY digging the UI, it does the same effect that gallery3d does with the background. it can stream music (apparently, not tested) and link to your google account to do so.
there are icons (down arrows) where you can add a song, album or even an entire artist to "Play" "Add to playlist" "delete" or "search" for. search pulls up a popup for your browser, music players, pandora, winamp youtube etc...
i DID notice those choppy/skippy effects happening pretty much whenever hte player is interupted, like hitting power to lock the screen, hitting home to navigate away from the player and when any other app initiated an action so it could be a memory issue. its only for a second so its not a dealbreaker.
i could not locate a 5.1 option like with the stock player, so i'm not using it for music atm (since my car DOES receive 5.1 in, yes!) but am playing downloaded podcasts with it and diggin it.

I installed it on my Epic, running the leaked Froyo stock rom, using CM. It installed, but started vibrating randomly. I saw two new icons in Applications, JumperTest and Music, but neither one started anything. Let me know if I can provide any other info to help debug or if I did something wrong in setup.

by stock do you mean the stock DK28 Tar. flashed via odin? if so you are odexed and i think thats why this wont work, you should be deodexed. either get the 1 click odexer deodexer tool or flash the ACS stock deodexed ROM if you want stock. otherwise flash a custom deodexed ROM, then install this.
Id simply uninstall it if I were you I'm thinking it incorporates a few apis were short on in froyo or that the galaxy s phones dont have. Uninstall with root explorer or adb if you need help let me know.

You confused me for a bit there...
CM usually refers to CyanogenMod.
CWM, on the other hand, usually refers to ClockworkMod.
Just thought I would clarify.

hi guys,
I recently put the stable version of CM9 on my captivate and it was great. but the trebuchet launcher seemed kind of laggy and would redraw sometimes. I saw that the actual trebuchet.apk in the /system was about 7MB. so I modified another version and took out everything that wasnt needed, and now I have a nice light version that is super fast with no lags or redraws. It is only 575 kb!!!!!!!. I didnt like the Nova, Apex ect. I just like stock.
so if you guys wanna try this one along side the stock trebuchet if in cm9, just rename the file and put in /system. remember to fix the permissions. If you like it, do what I did and replace the existing trebuchet. let me know what you think or if someone can make it better.
Note: there is no wallpaper chooser in this launcher I took it out. so just use some other picture from the gallery, but the live wallpaper picker is still there.
Also Special thanks to GrainOsand For making the original launcher, this is a modded version for the captivate
This launcher should work on all ICS roms. I dont know if it works in gingerbread or Jellybean. I advise not to try it in gingerbread/JB since it is not tested.
also if you notice in my screenshot I use the walkman music player, I think its much better than any other player, its fast and stable with the stock lockscreen controls.
i can post the apk if anyone is interested

I basically took parts from different trebuchet versions, what ever was the smallest size, and removed all the wallpapers. It is much faster, i think its because the program is so small so doesn't need much memory.
to install. if you already have a trebuchet in your system with CM9 you can replace with this (thats what I did) but if you feel uncomfortable doing that, you can rename the file and then put it in /system so both launchers will show up.
I suggest renaming and putting alongside the other trebuchet first to test. then if you like it replace the exsisting trebuchet. I dont want anyone to complain that they wrecked their OS.
So i renamed to old launcher to .apkold in /system/app and copied in the new launcher. Its been running the boot animation for about ten min now i will give it another few minutes but i have a feeling i did something wrong?
NO, you cant change the file extention!!!! it has to be .apk. if you want to rename it you should rename to Tebuchet2.apk or something. obviously the .apk need to be there. also i hope you are running CM9. i said in the original post this is for ICS only!!!

yea i think you did it wrong, you cant alter the file name of the original launcher. either you replace it with this and make sure the name and permissions are exactly the same or keep both and rename the new one to Trebuchet new.apk or something
Cool thanks I went back to CM9 and it works well hope there is a CM10 one on the way!!
I wont be making a CM10 version until I use CM10. and that will only be once cyanogenmod release a stable RC or final version of CM10. but if someone else wants to make it and post it here that would be great.
This works across devices, by the way.

Hi, I just downloaded your Launcher, But havent installed yet, cause Im just still learning about all this stuff, know a lot of Linux and Computers, and because of that, I always want to be sure what Im doing, so before doing it I was wondering, I just put it in /system and then What? I suppose, I need to reboot phone, but How can I choose betwen both Launchers? I looked for an option in Settings, but didnt find nothing...and second thing, with this launcher I can't use my own pictures for Wallpaper?
Thanks in advance dude
Edit: I placed it in /system/app folder, Set the same permissions of the original one, reboot, but nothing, I can't find a way to switch it, Do I have to change names so the new one replace the old, and then name the old one with just a random name temporaly, ??
Hi all I have just upgraded to Sense 6 and it seems HTC have removed the live wallpaper that lets you select multiple pictures from the gallery. I loved that wallpaper, is anyone else seeing the same or could someone upload the wallpaper I am referring to?
Thanks.
Yes, it's not there. I still have the old 5.5 ROM backup tough (I used it to restore old Notification sounds) so if you can tell me the name, I can upload it for you.

It is called HTCImageWallpaper.apk - unfortunately it does not work with Sense 6. Probably missing some other resources, so it needs porting.
But just in case, there is the .apk - it can not be installed, bust be placed manually to /system/priv-app

What features did the HTC one have that put it in such high favor? I've been looking for a good slideshow WP app for a while. These are the best I've found:
Landscape Wallpaper - Good settings. Separate WP for lockscreen. Offers wallpaper scrolling, if desired (good when launcher doesn't support.) Can't choose to update on wake (only time limit), however seems to update on wake after timespan has elapsed.
Wallpaper Changer - Best options for gallery selection. Let's you choose and save custom albums, mixed of folders and individual pics. Can't modify albums. Seems quirky.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper - Simple, works great. Can set to update with screen awake or even double tap. Supports web albums.

What I liked was the slow pan across each wallpaper before it faded to the next one.
I had a set of wallpapers with the same colours but different designs and it would switch to one, pan across, then fade to the next and pan across... I think the choice of panning left or right was random. It was just a nice behaviour that wasn't distracting but added a little interest, and the fade meant there was no jarring switch from one wallpaper to the next. Also it seemed to have no effect on battery usage,
