Call it perverse but I really miss that launcher
Thanks in advance

There's a little confusion here, which is understandable.
Everyone is assuming the OP wants Stage UI version 1.6, and based upon his original post I would have as well. But that's not what he wants. What he wants is the drop-down tab bar that appeared on Dell Streaks running Donut (Android 1.6). As you can see the version numbers are the same.
Unfortunately for the OP, there is no version of that tab bar for 2.2.2.

My apologies, i didn't realise he wanted that.
You cannot have some things from Donut and Eclair, your options are, find a alternative or downgrade, downgrading is crazy though... i like the Donut screen lock, but i wouldn't downgrade to Donut to have it.
No I didn't want the tabs, as i said earlier, because in the other thread it was clarified that it can't be done in later FW-s
I only want a launcher which can really use the landscape mode, cause I use my devices in that position only, and the stock 1.6 launcher seems to be really good at that, buit all the launchers is optimized for portrait use, so they not very good at accomodating landscape

is there a way that the lockscreen for froyo can work on a 2.1 ROM? it might be the same as the regular vanilla lockscreen but the froyo one has some good animations and it makes the current wallpaper in the homescreen as the lockscreen one. so is there a way?
I'm not positive but I think the answer is no. Froyo uses API level 8, 2.1 uses API level 7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688818
^^check out this thread, It is pretty much the same as your question but he is trying to get the froyo launcher on 2.1 instead of the lockscreen.
PS:You should just use a froyo rom, their are some great ones on the forums.
ok thanks i would use froyo but theres alot of downsides to froyo especially on eris

Like what? The only problem I could think of was camera preview not working, but that has been fixed recently.

i have that for 2.1 but i tried froyo and i like how the lockscreen hides the homescreen using the current wallpaper and it has the music controls. also i can add my own message on it
White widow has the same lockscreen it may be a cyanogen mod thing.
can i extract that and install in to any rom?
I been noticing developers getting 2.2 apps to work on 2.1
I would like the NexusKang Live Wallpaper and its only for 2.2
How do I go about making it work also for 2.1?
If its possible is the method used the same for all 2.2 apps to make them work for 2.1?

The method to backport apps depends on the app. Some, well, most cant be back ported. Nexuskang im fairly sure cannot be and kmobs didnt want to make compatible with 2.1...was meant to replace nexusmod livewallpaper. Which is extremely similar, and honestly as close as youre going to get. If you look around on file hosting sites u might find a copy of it since its no longer in the market. Or you can buy nexus revamped. I think it supports custom backgrounds now. Idr...u can check n let me know. The free version even might possibly. I have the wallpaper background pngs identical to nexuskang (which is why i liked it soo much lol) ill upload the if you want them.
Edit: pro version supports custom backgrounds

I have a version of it on my computer.
I also have Nexus revaped, so if you upload the pngs or I take them from the NexusKang myself, and resign the apk, would it work like NexusKang?
I am sure this question has been asked, but what is the fastest ROM out there at the moment. I want one that is fast. It can be with or without sense. I don't mind. What are your opinions?
Probably a gingerbread rom because it seems to get higher benchmark scores or froydvillain a 2.2 rom
tasty ginger 2.0 from raduG seem fast.
Elelinux-7.0.0 this is the rom I am using and it good

Wow, just after I created this questions and no one answered I decided to use Elelinux's other ROM and it is quite fast. Even the live walpaper I have doesn't slow down. (I have the matrix one not 3D one) it works a treat. I will try the one you are using to see if there are any differences.
Yeah but widgets list and windows animations on elelinux rom are not smooth. ;(

Sorry, excuse me for the dumb question, what do you mean widgets list and windows animations? Is that when you change screens or something like that?

Widgets list - list of widgets when you are adding widgets to homescreen.
Windows animations - example in Settings -> Date & time -> Select date format - this window is animated. In Elelinux (and other gingerbread hero roms) animation of this window is laggy and uncool.
In my opinion the fastest is Cronos Froyo 1.8.0.
Right, so back when the X10 was on Android 1.6 it had quite a nice thin notification bar, and the sliding app drawer was rather nice too, but ever since 2.1 they've both been replaced, and the notification bar is bigger and closer to stock Android size. My question is...is there some way, either involving internal tinkering, flashing a new ROM or whatever, to bring back the old, thin notification bar without having to downgrade to 1.6 again? Can the same be done with the old app drawer?
(Also, first post here, so hi. I know my way around a forum usually, and I did some extensive searching before asking but to little effect.)
It is not possible mate. I really liked it too.

I was afraid of that; though on the face of it it would seem that it should be possible, at least in theory. I suppose one way would be contacting Sony Ericsson about it as an optional inclusion in a 2.1-based update or adding into 2.3, but that seems pretty unlikely.
EDIT: Or if it's possible to dualboot 1.6 with 2.1 somehow, it would be worth trying.
sorry for reviving an old thread, Im on the arc now but i have an x10....i really want the sliding drawer back. Can anyone on 1.6 post the home apk, see if its installable with some tweaks? thanks!
Mine came with it now, so i was just wondering what would happen if i were to save those APK's (theres touchwiz itself, touchwiz launcher i think, maybe a couple others) to apply on top of a stock android OS??
Is that possible at all? It would be 4.0.4 style, but that doesnt bother me at all. if its possible that is.

Well, yes you can put your touchwiz.apk to other OS, what its going to do is its going to make you device look like samsung device. These are the launchers used to customize the look of the whole ecosystem and that's is the major reason why people drives away from iOS to the Android ecosystem try using the touchwiz launcher and see your device transform onto samsung.

Please do your research before replying.
No it will not work as they need the base touchwiz framework to work properly which stock google doesn't have.
This is the price you pay for running a custom aosp based ROM.

Is there some (fairly easy) way to transfer the framework as well?

No because the frameworks control the whole OS. They are not cross compatible

Hmm, in that case, are there mods available to make every part of the stock OS look like the touchwiz OS, including the notification area?? Thats gotta be my biggest thing that i hate about stock. I love the compact 1 page aspect of the touchwiz version.
I know theres a theme for touchwiz, i tried it on another device. but all it changed was the main screens. settings and notification areas stayed stock. That was a total bummer, i thought i found my solution right there...

Some have a notification setting for the compact tiles but not completely like touch Wiz. I would either get used to not having them or use a stock based ROM. To be honest I would get used to bot having them as with the next update the whole thing is changing again.

Well the one i tried playing with the settings with is the moto G... but there are practically NO customization settings, at all. wallpaper and ringtones were all i was able to find. no notification bar settings, no compact, no nothing.
Im still using my ICS with no issues... im more thinking ahead for the future, will possibly set a couple of roms aside to try. Its gonna take alot to get used to the much uglier notification area though... maybe ill never have to!
