We all know about the "LG Home" app in the market that always force closes when you try and change the volume. Well, little did we know that a developer by the name of aalopez10 had already messed with it enough to make it usable. Since I will be moving to the Evo 3D when it is released, I decided to visit the Evo 4g boards to see what cool mods have been cooked up and what I could expect.
The original topic is here:

Go to that topic and download it. I have it on my Vibrant right now and it works wonderfully. He also has some LG widgets there as well.
BUGS ( WILL BE FIXED SOON )
-The Uninstaller on the app drawers doesnt work yet, it force closes.
-When u open the launcher, you will see "Problem loading widgets". You can delete them and then add them again and there should be no problem using the widgets after that,
-LG Calander Widget doesn't sync with events, but widget does load and work on homescreen, (will see if theres a fix soon).
Make sure you click "Thanks" for the work aalopez10 has done and if you wanna "Thank" me for showing you, I wouldn't be against that either. I will try and keep this topic updated whenever I see that the bugs are fixed.
-Rich
I guess no one is interested in this? The original developer seems to have not updated it in a long time so bug fixes might not come fast. Unless someone else want's to pick this up.

Guys, there is one very good application released on PocketGear. I have it on my s740 and apart from being perfect new Start Menu with some very very useful features it can route audio to an earpiece when Skype is active. Also it has Task and Process Manager and it is fully animated.
I wrote an article about it at wmpoweruser.com/?p=13748 (still can't post links, sorry for that) with screenshots and with more details. There are some bad comments about design of application, but it looks like people don't realize that this is for Smartphone/Standard device only, with QVGA resolutions most of the time.
Maybe it's just me, but I think that this looks really good for a Smartphone application.
Hy!
Thanks for sharing....looks not bad....a little "Iphone"-Like.....but i like the app "htc3dmenu" from here:

I tried many apps to customize the Start-Menu and i think thats the best....its fully animated to....you had to do a little work at the shortcuts but when its done its the best menu ever......
But i will also link yours....

I didn't try that one. Didn't even know it exists
What I like about Ultimate Start is T9 search of applications. Just like in Contacts. Very fast way to get to any application, bookmark or java application.
Many developers are dropping prices (WP7 is getting closer). This application is now only 1$, 80% off!
thanks for posting the link to "htc3dmenu" that looks realy cool!
i use it with the WM 6.5 sliding media panel that gives it a far more newer look than the default one.
thanks!
Hi.. Just installed the update 4.1.A.0.562 on my Ray.. Officially, through update service..
Although all those exciting things are missing, like the People app, zero shutter lag in camera, and many other visual related stuff..
I mean, its all shown on the official page...
Anyways, I'm a rooter!! Any place where i can find these additions? Especially the People app..

I'm dying to get my hands on it..
Wonderful i too need to know! Hope someone replies soon!!!
Also no Nova Launcher....... (thats what its called on the Market..)
I guess all these are available on Android 4.0.4... I need the apks...
Camera...could that be dependable of the hardware also?
Other than that, SE has made quite a lots of modifications there, to keep their Timescape UI the most important one there.
Ok!! I got a Nexus ROM which has the required contacts.apk...
Now, i just need to know, how do i install it? Like, i know, its meant to be pushed.. but what are the other apps that need to be pushed along with it? ContactsProvider.apk or something?
Zero shater lag is hardware related . Not getting it with update
And u can't install people app
You should get an aosp or cm9 rom
DOes CM9 have the people app? Frankly, thats the only one i'm after...
camera? no problem..
So i got a MK802 android 4.0 USB stick and have it set up on my bedroom tv.
I can choose and tweak, to use a setup with Android settings as a big phone a regular phone or a tablet. But i was hoping that there was something like a TV launcher. I have found a project on github (see link below) but have no idea if it will work on 4.0 or even if it is what i am looking for.
I was hoping someone knew of a tv friendly launcher.
For example i really like the look of something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwpgPP0ncAo&feature
It would be way more useful for my purpose, than the standard android os.

I have not seen it yet, but maybe someone could help me by compiling an APK from this:
https://github.com/rharter/Android-TV-Launcher
As far as i can tell from reading,it seems to be somewhat what i am looking for.
Don't take this the wrong way but did you explore the github page you linked to?
There is a compiled version in its bin files section with the word debug in the filename and it does work. At least on gb as I just installed and checked before replying.
It simply shows every app on the device but in one easy to navigate strip across middle of the screen but download it and see if it is what you need

Oh my thats embarrasing. But thanks.
I wrote the developer but he sadly gave up on the project. I would love to just to be able to select which apps that shows up in the launcher. Thqt should be a small adition to add an app drawer and a selction of which apps to appear in the launcher. Oh well.. My search continues. I just don't have any idea where to go from here
Let's face it, Rosie lags. And it lags hard on our Flyer. When I had the HTC Desire HD, I found out about this wonderful mod. I checked the thread and there is a version for virtually every other HTC device except the Flyer, even the Jetstream, which has exactly the same software version!
So, I figured, if it works on the Jetstream, it has to work on the Flyer. So I flashed it. The outcome was almost perfect. No lags. There is only one problem, which kind of makes it unusable: the top bar needs resizing, because the "All Apps" icon can't be pressed.
So my request is: Does anyone here have resizing skills? I'd be happy to beta test. If we can manage to get it to work, it will be really worth it.
Thanks. Julian
EDIT: Here are screenshots of the homescreen, showing the resizing problem and the flatened widgets. (it works)

And the link to where this is posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27388945&postcount=695 (all credits go to hamdir for the mod)
Just for whoever will hopefully work on that, have a link for that MOD?

I do, give me a couple minutes, and I will upload a photo of the homescreen and a link to the MOD. We can really pull this off, guys. And it will make our beautiful Flyers be more pleasant to use.
EDIT: Done, there you have the link and a couple screenshots (I know they are huge and make my post ugly, but I'm a noob here
You could ask Scabes24 or MoonNah, they sure can help you (and hope they will).

I did it (almost) all by myself, mummy!
I got it almost perfectly done, look at the other post in the forum and give it a spin
Sorry, there are too many quirks for now.
I am positively shocked this is not a larger issue. With the removal of the always listening options for Google Now this devices overall appeal has been greatly limited based kmy needs.
Does anyone in the community know why these features were removed or have any idea on if/when they will return?
with the newest version it's there if you put the widget on homescreen

I have everything up to date including google play services and have placed the widget on the home screen but am still only seeing 1 option. Which is to allow "OK Google" from the app.

That's not the same thing at all. For starters it takes a whole row of icons. Also it will only work when you are on that specific screen. It won't work if you have an app open and most importantly it doesn't work when the screen is off.
This certainly isn't a hardware limitation, but I think Samsung did this to get users to try the new (and greatly improved s voice). I bet their plan is to bring back Google always on detection in a later update after many people try out s voice.
Anyways in the meantime check out s voice, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know..but all Samsung phones even nexus had have problems with that actual
