Request: Motoblur! - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know how possible it would be to do,
but I played with some motoblur widgets on my buddy's Cliq, and now I'm jealous (i'm a social networking junkie).
Understanding that MOTOBLUR is still Android 1.5/1.6, is there any way to set up a partial MOTOBLUR integration into a ROM, or a MOTOBLUR skin that includes the widgets (and some program to log in/sign up to Motoblur?).
I found and pushed some .apk files I found around, but without any real idea what I'm doing, it was pretty close to 100% failure (with the exception of actually getting a couple of icons to show up in my app drawer - that's about it).
Is there any other interest in this? And will this be easier once the Cliq and Devour get 2.1?

I really want to see MotoBlur too! Hope you can make a motoblur rom!

if u want the skin theres a ton of ways u can go about it.
from what i kno theres about 4 home replacement apps that offer it.
one that i personally tried is for GDE..its ok,nothing to write home about. Not the skin, just the look..its a bit too kiddy for me.
as far as widgets go, check the hero forums, its been discussed.

sorry man

Cliq and Devour are not getting it anymore. period

Launcherpro plus is working on it

I thought google guaranteed that every existing android device would at least get 2.1? When did this change?

I tried to port 2.2 sense but I'm missing a few drivers and I have a motoblur rom sitting on a hosting site if anyone wants to take a crack at it. The radio on it doesn't work (no cell, wifi, bluetooth) so you can't get past the first screen, but touchscreen, buttons etc. all work. I ported it from a gsm rom.

Sorry about the mishap

it would be perfect if it enabled bluetooth. Tasker doesn't play nice with it either, so making a profile for Car Home in tasker made for FC's.

Its looking like Nexus 1 and Droid 1 only. There were plenty of people with Evo's complaining that it didn't work.
Doesn't make much sense to me. Droid=Moto and N1=HTC, so it shouldn't be too device specific. I just can't find the stupid APK anywhere.

[Q] Possible to get Sense mail client on the Atrix?

Anyone had any success in getting the Sense Mail client (which feels much better than the default android one) installed on the atrix. Wanted to know if this was remotely possible and worth the time trying to make it work.

Is that your way of telling me this thread is in the wrong forum? If so, why not just say that?
The mail client in 2.3.4 is IMHO better or as good as sense mail. Finally.!

(WIP)I hate the carousel!!!

The useless spinning home screen does nothing but annoy me, has anyone messed with removing this before I take the venture into my own hands?
armonwilson888 said:
So I found a .sql database in sense.apk labeled carousel.db but nothing obviouse about disabling it when opened, nor did I recognize any enabling triggers. If anyone finds anything else that may help please post here or send me a pm.

I agree, its silly and offers no utility. I have used an alternative launcher since roughly 2 weeks after purchasing my EVO 4G in June of 2010, and have never gone back to the Sense launcher.
I like the sense launcher but that is the most useless feature they have ever used.

I haven't seen that removed by itself, but there are several ROMs eight now that have an option to disable that in the tweaks menu. I know eternity and warm both have this feature.
I would be happy with landscape

only disables it when unlocking the phone..The carousel is still spin crazy between home screen fast swiping
The carousel only spins if u go crazy fingers on it. Keep it cool hot shot.
Seriously I'd like to get rid of that and the rap around. I miss scrolling wallpapers

Sense sucks and is way too bloated on the stock rom
root it and run a custom ROM or run a launcher over sense and see it Sense turns off after time of non use
I love the carousel and eye candy..... to each his or her own....

I've been looking in the ROSIE.apk and SENSE.apk all day long and and found no direct way of disabling it so far. There has got to be a touch swipe/speed minimum trigger somewhere. It looks pretty integrated into the launcher, it may be alot more difficult than originally assumed.

You know it can't be just database modding, right? You have to disassemble the apk. 2 weeks ago I was on the same boat, I baksmali'd the Rosie.apk and searched through a lot of functions to find a comparison (if clause etc) to find the decision whether it should spin or slide. In the end I got lost. The hard part is we don't know the name of the function and there are no strings popping up when spinning to help us get through thousands of line of code. At some point I thought it writes the system log a record starting with DEBUG TimelineAnimation.play only when it spins but that was a deadend too. The closest I could get was to crash Sense when you begin to slide, so if I have more time soon, I might find the responsible function/decision after that point.
I too hate it . I Miss the days from my desire classic wonderful themes moving wallpapers etc..
Were talking about 3D transition effect as well right not just the carousel lol cause im talking about both...

probably a way, not done yet afaik. Some roms (warm, wtsb 2.0, wildshooter, maybe more) have a tweak to disable the carousel anim (on unlock only - not totally gone) which I find nice. I asked romanBB (the creator of "tweaks") if there was a way to remove it entirely, no resonse cuz he is deving for sgs2 now. It would take a smali genius to figure it out.

Yea i understand that but then its not sense. we actually got a thread going with a couple guys looking through the ROSIE.apk file and see if there is a way to remove it or something. It's gonna take a lot more work then i thought it would

Yeah i started to realize that, i always knew it would be difficult but from what im hearing this is gonna take something like you said "a genius" to crack or figure out.
Hopefully someone can up the task, cause this would be a MAJOR tweak for people and i know im not the only one that dislikes it

Facebook Home Discussion

Just finished watching the livestream of the Facebook Home announcement. It was mentioned that FB Home would be coming to several devices on April 12th, including HTC One, One X, One X+, GS3, GS4, and Note 2. It seems to be basically a launcher replacement/UI. They also said it would be coming to Tablets in several months. So I was curious what DNA users think. Do you care? Should we feel left out? Do you want FB Home? Do you think we will get it? When?
People who don't like FB at all, don't bother posting. You don't need it and it won't be pushed on anybody. Hopefully this thread will be for FB/DNA users who are interested in discussing FB Home.
I think it looks interesting but I actually like Sense a lot so I'm concerned about how well it will integrate and whether we will lose out on a lot of features we have come to rely upon, like widgets, etc.
I am getting it one the 12th. It looks pretty slick.

Confused... getting the HTC One or FB Home? Do you plan to use FB Home or stick with Sense UI/launcher.

Fb home. The ui and launcher reallyoom nice. I don't use sense launcher now. That phone is a huge downgrade compared to the dna
And I meant on the 12th not one.

How is that gonna work on the iPhone? I know who cares, but I was just wondering..
Count me out. This is a terrible idea in my opinion because for me like facebook but all the time? Sense launcher for me.

Even for people who are not on FB, it is generally a good thing for the Android ecosystem because, at least for now, it could be driving users towards Android who would otherwise be buying iPhones.
I use FB several times/day, but I don't think I would want this simply because it will take a lot of why I like the android platform away from me, namely, freedom. The UI of FB home doesn't look half bad, but unless you want to be forced to have your phone revolve around FB then you might instead like any one of the hundreds of other launchers currently available from the play store.
Not to mention that it took FB several months to work out some of the more basic bugs from its first android app.
This honestly smells of desperation to overcome FB's member boredom. Google could easily also make a launcher for Google+, or MySpace or Twitter could, and I'd feel the same way. It's pretty bold of FB...
Oh, and His Zuckness also wants to run ADS on the launcher as well.

It's not on iSh*t because it sucks.
If this improves the Facebook experience on Android I'm all for it.. The Facebook app has improved greatly, but compared to other apps, it's not good at all.. I'm always dealing with "loading" ... and "No internet connection" .. constant issues with the application.. We shall see what this does!!
Message
All Im really interested in is the messaging functionality, that was interesting, and maybe the lockscreen, If I could cherry pick aspects of fb home that would be nice, as a whole however I'm not that interested.
I'm always on facebook. That said, this is probably gonna suck given the track record with their FB app. I'd try it if it came to the DNA.

Can't see myself using a FB launcher personally. I like and need the seperation between the two

+1 This makes tons of sense. I wouldn't mind certain aspects running in the background I'm just not sure I want it to take over the home screen ui.
Has anyone tried grabbing the apk from another device and seeing if it works on the DNA?

Modaco's should work if you are rooted and remove the apk from /system/app.
I'm stock OTA so it tells me the signature exists as facebook came with my phone
The hacked version does work on the DNA its a pretty neat launcher if you are really that into wanting a face book phone. Sucks up data fast for those on limited data plans so make sure to check the settings. Not the best launcher, for ease of use, but it is sure different. The future of launchers could be a good start.
