I just tried this very promising Launcher and works fine on streak.
Maybe I found my beloved LauncherProPlus replacement.
Definetely worth a try.

I'm definitely gonna have to give this a shot tonight...I'm already bored with SPB 3D Shell
wow, this is exactly what i wanted. a dock at the bottom and not on the side of the phone. nice find.
Does it have all the great options launcher pro has...like changing the number of columns and rows, transition effects, swipe an icon for different shortcut?
Yes it does. Actually its Adw Launcher optimized for tablets.
Only thing I miss is launcher pro widgets. Otherwise it's perfect.
Nice find thanks
Finally a permanent dock on the bottom! Can you lock it in landscape mode? That is currently how I have my streak set. Thanks
Awesome!!

Says you can lock in landscape mode. With a dock on the sides, right under your thumbs. I've been playing with it and it is nice. Looking forward to spending more time perfecting it, but it seems really good right now (stool in beta)

Dude, clear your default launcher first from manage applications and try again.If still doesnt work,maybe you got too many launchers install. Delete the ones that you dont use, and try again.Also make sure that you tick install apps from unknown sources too on manage apps. Works for me.

I've never "Sideloaded" an app before, but reading tells me I need a .apk file to do it. The link is to a .zip file that when extracted has no .apk in it. Should I rename the .zip to .apk?

I keep getting a phone not found error.
The phone is set to USB Debugging enabled.
USB storage is disabled.
In My Computer I show a Removable Disk but when you click on it a message comes up saying to connect a device. I expect this though, because the card is not set to be used as external storage.
In Device Manager I have "Android Phone" with a subset "Android Composite ADB Interface". Odd thing here is that before Windows loaded drivers, it was calling it a Streak.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm using the "Sideload Wonder Machine".
Is there another easy way for a newb to load this package?

Your doing way too complicated dude.On your streak browser just go this link
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/Launcher_1_5.apk . It should download it as apk file, dont have to change anything. You should be able to install it from your file manager (Astro File manager recommended). Clear your default launcher if it fails to install.
goodluck
Love its brill on my streaky

I'm guessing you can't mix this with Launcher Pro? One or the other, right?
No mix. By the way, I found Colorize Widget free witch is similar to Launcher Pro Plus widgets. So I'm realy happy now even without LPro.
Has anyone figured out how to do the custom function icons yet? I saw something about making things like an icon that dials a predetermined number for you. 90% of my calls are to my wife. Having an icon that calls her cell with one touch would be awesome.

I used to run SPB Mobile Shell for an old Winmo phone. Can you tell if SPB 3D slows down your dell? Or notice any sluggishness?

Update: Changed a couple of icons to make them clearer.
EDIT: New screen shots added. Fixed the folder structure issue.
So, I was getting tired of looking at the off-white icons in the Settings, and I like how some of the Droids (and possibly others) have colored icons in the Settings menu. I whipped this up quickly this afternoon and liked the way it turned out.
No known issues, but you still apply this at your own risk. I am not responsible if it breaks your phone, your home, or your back.

by any chance did this break your wifi/gps settings? I made a sense settings morph but trying to open the gps or wifi setting results in a fc... just wondering if maybe it was just mine...
Nope. Wireless and GPS are both working fine. This morph was strictly just image replacements for the icons.
same thing I did... hmm i wonder what I did wrong?
edit: Just built a whole new settings morph from scratch and the same thing happened

File structure from the unzip looks wrong. If you go back into metamorph and pick existing themes -> settingsiconmod and go down an extra folder, the XML file is there. Select that and apply.
I will fix the zip later tonight.

There was an extra subfolder that you had to go into to get to the theme control file (the xml). It caused an error in Metamorph (invalid theme control file) when you were unzipping it. It would still work, but you had to go back into Metamorph after it errored out and select it manually. I removed the extra subfolder so it should be in the right spot and Metamorph should not give the error.
I am going to be working on a Morph for the Dialer too soon. I am not a fan of the blue that Samsung chose for everything. Too pale. I am not sure what color(s) to go with yet, but I am going to play around a bit with it.

Return to stock. No more Verizon Navigation. You do need Google maps / navigation installed.
Ripped from Mesmerize, de-odexed.
Before adding this to your device, make sure you've renamed /system/app/CarHome.apk and CarHome.odex (or move them, etc..)
Then just add the new .apk to /system/app. I use adb to push, but as long as you get the file there in /system/app it should be fine. You do not install this .apk, just copy it.
Code:
adb push CarHome.apk /system/app
All done.
If you see any FC, just reboot. Post up with any issues.

Ok, I'm not sure I am doing it right in ADB. I can get my phone recognized but when I try to push the .apk to system/app it tells me that it failed to copy and Permission Denied. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

You can just put it on your card and move it with root explorer. See how that works.

Thanks for the help. I got it moved over using Super manager instead of Root Explorer. I restarted my phone but I don't see anything different other than the fact that now when I press Voice Search, I get a Force Close. The Navigation button is still linked to VZ Navigator. What exactly is meant by de-VZW'd? I do have google maps/nav installed FWIW.

You are rooted, right? I'm guessing you may not have CWM installed? You should have no trouble pushing the file via adb with CWM installed. CWM changes the way the adb daemon runs on the device.
Might try renaming the original CarHome.apk and CarHome.odex to CarHome.apk.old and CarHome.odex.old, then moving the file I posted to /system/app. Don't install it (it probably won't install anyway), just put it in /system/app.
Could you install the apk file using App Installer from the market?

Hmm, noticed something funky with this. When you hit the navigation function, it asks you to choose Google Navigation or Your Navigator, and if you choose the second option, it will hang and force close. I think I'm going back to the Car Home app ripped from the Vibrant, as it instantly launches Google Navigation with giving you a useless menu prompt.

I've noticed that too, not sure why it's doing that... Obviously you choose 'Google Navigation', but if the extra touch to do so is a deal-breaker, definitely use some other launcher. I'll see if I can find out where that's coming from and get rid of it.
Besides that quirk, the only differences between that one and the Vibrant version are slightly different icons and icon placement, so not a big deal.

Awesomeness!! would be great if you could make Navigation go by default to Google Navigation instead of asking.

Just rename your existing .apk and .odex to .old or whatever you prefer, then just push. You may need to reboot afterward.
This was from the Mesmerize, so the "odexed" version would just be ripping this from the system dump and copying it over.. not sure if that would work, I didn't try it out. Makes sense to me that it would, but you know how picky these things are.

In the smali code...
I was hoping that you could just modify the call out, but I noticed the popup was in a different .smali. I've tried moving the code over, and i've tried modifying the fascinate's with little luck... But looking at smali makes my head explode.
any chance someone can get the desk cradle apk from either the mesmerize or vibrant to complete the de-bing/vzw. car cradle works perfect thanks to this but having the desk cradle apk from either phones to work with our phones would be icing on the cake...

APN properly set for T-Mo

Overall this works better for me than copen's original did.

This is one of the fastest Android systems I've used. It scores 1670 on Quadrant. Ive had tested others which score higher (into the 2k range), but this one just seems sooo much quicker. Only thing I've found that I don't like is that some apps dont fill the screen(the slidelock screen, pandora, speed test). I am not used to such a small dpi and having a case on the phone makes it hard to drag down the notification bar, but that may be from my sausage fingers. Also, I cant seem to be able to pin an app shortcut onto the desktop with a long press. Doesnt seem to be an option for it like other roms I've tried. But so far I am liking it, but it will take some time to get used to.
Edit: I figured out how to drop an app on the desktop. Silly me. Longpress on the app from the menu and simply drop it onto the homescreen. So much easier!!!!!!!!!!
Will give it a spin

These lockscreens are awesome, much more fun than widgetlocker. The only problem is they all need resizing to fit our screens.
I've been trying but without a script and my lack of knowledge its hard work. If you rename the. mtz to .zip then extract it and find lockscreen, rename that to lockscreen.zip and extract that you can edit manifest.xml and resize everything to fit our screens, Ive been dividing all the sizes by 50% to make everything fit on the screen and then trial n error to move everything to the right place. Does anybody know an easier way??

This one is VA 3way minimal lockscreen, it has a white animated line that should move down between the 2 slider icons when there in the right place and when pressed a phone and sms icon appears at either side which you drag the centre icon to, took me an hour and half to get that close.

Aaaaaaargh lol it reminds me of the frustrations I got with chronotopia. Just a little bug I found with unlocking..... aswell as the volume and home button method I found holding the back button kills the app and restores original lockscreen too. It's a cm7. Back button kill option I know but for me a lockscreen should only have 1 method to unlock and this app has 3 and for this reason " I'm out " lol
" once its gone,its GONE."
True and I give up too, its too much work for me. this apps still in early stages so fingers crossed it'll get better features and hopefully someone else who is better than me will port all the lockscreens.

I think it's great app other than the fact that you have to resize all of the themes lol. Does it matter if there is 3 ways to unlock? Just use one And you can turn the back button kills app thing off right?

Didn't for one second say it wasn't a good app!!
Yes it matters to me that there are 3 ways to unlock it.
No I can't turn back button kill off due to the fact I use this function.

I backed up then uninstalled by Titanium Backup, and used the installer without a hitch.
Running UnNamed 1.3.2 though, not sure if the newer versions may be the reason why its not working properly.
Cool. Must be the fingerprint with the new UnNamed.
And how do you find the voice accuracy? Is it better? Just curious...

If I say yes now its just a placebo effect in my head.
Have to do some testing with it for a few days and see if its noticeably different or the same.
Saw this in the UnNamed thread, might want to give it a try.

I guess that seems to be the way to do it. I'll give it a try over the weekend when I get a chance to mess around with my phone

so, installed perfectly using instructions from post #5. I don't really know what's the difference between uninstalling via Titanium vs. adb removing, but it worked with the Titanium method, and not with adb.
Thanks for the tip on using titanium to backup/uninstall, works for rooted stock as well

I've been using it for about two days now and with the exception of an beta-ish incident I had with it (it stopped working after my first reboot if the phone and I had to reinstall it), I can confidently say that this update makes Swype much, much better. Swype always used to piss me off within the day for the simplest of reasons, but with all the new gestures, dictionary options and (finally) contextual typing, it's hard to put this one down. And it should be mentioned that I'm a huge keyboard junkie, if that exists. I have pro versions for most of the keyboards on the market and constantly switch between them because they generally all disappoint me in one way or another.
The voice recognition is naturally better now that the company has been acquired by Nuance, but it isn't quite up to the accuracy of choice dictation on the iPhone 4s, for whatever reason. Is it better than what it used to be on Swype/Android? Hell yes. In addition, this can do languages other than English, something I found particularly amazing.
All in all, I like it.

The speech recognition still sucks.

I have no idea, but I know it auto updates (maybe not if you remove the installer) so not sure if it will break the theme or not when it does update.
Really missing how it looked on UnNamed.
Going to change the thread title and put a request for a theme.
If someone can provide the apk i can try and take a swing at theming it. Shouldn't be too difficult

Actually just had a look at the new apk... it's completely different so I don't think it'd be possible to just transfer it over from the old one.
I can try and do it manually... we'll see how it turns out.
Good luck, after the holidays i'm going to read up on theming.
I tried doing it myself to change the stock SMS but couldn't get it working ended up using goSMS lol.

I just did a proof of concept, just to see if it works... It's really simple actually!!!!
I did orange and blue (Denver Broncos colors) if you guys want it, just install it like normal.
Here is how to do it:
You take that .apk file thats in the OP, make a few copies of it just incase...
Then you get 7zip, open it up with 7zip... copy all the files in "assets/keyboard" to a new folder on your computer.
The files you need to edit are preceded by "display0_" since we have wvga screens.
The way I did it was open it up in photoshop (the images, that is) and edit the file and save it.
The files I editted were:
background
caps
capsbutton
funcbutton
numbutton
selbutton
textbutton
AFTER EDITTING!!
This is where it gets tricky...
You open that original .apk with the 7zip proggy and you transfer all those images back into it, in the proper folder.
Now you need to sign it using apkmanager or whatever you may want. Open it up in apkmanager, and sign it (using the batch signing folder thing option choice thing).
DONE!
Oops guess my message by xda app didn't go through.
The theme did work perfectly, good job!
Would It be too much to ask for a dark-themed swype like on ICScrewD or unNamed?
Then I can finally update swype

I second this!!
But I am going to try myself with the instructions of samvillian.
Just haven't had time, hopefully this weekend I can start practicing on theming.

I've got most of swype done. Issues im running into is apktool is unable to decompile or recompile a working product. Assume because of the updated version. Ill keep pressing.
