Guest grcd Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 Please humour me, because I am a complete n00b to Android (been on the dark side using WM 6.1 / 6.5 / 6.5.3 since 2006), having just started using it few hours ago. I managed my way around for the most bit, but I still can't do everything I am trying to do. For example... I am presently running FLB 1.7 and though I have set up my SD properly (it is a Class 4, therefore I have 64 swap and 396 EXT3), I do not really think that my device is installing any apps to SD. How can I verify if A2SD is working (is it automatic)? If not, what should I do to enable its use? And secondly and perhaps most important: I want to modify Android so that it loads Sense UI as it is on HTC Android devices like Legend or Desire. Is it possible through a direct hack or by installing some 'visual equivalent'? I am especially after the beautiful weather clock animation, but also the bottom bar with the screen indicator. Any help will be appreciated!
Guest shamikebab Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 go to the terminal and write the following: a2sdcheck then a2sdcachesd
Guest DanWilson Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Regarding Sense UI. It's been attempted. It was failed. We require the HTC framework and kernel. And even with the developers we had before the San Francisco, it would've been on the verge of impossible. What you would need to make the Pulse look like it is Ogiogi's Espresso Mod theme. Fancy Widget (Included with FLB-Mod) And the themed ADW Launcher. I'll edit with the link, it's on XDA though. EDIT - Link is HERE /Off Anyone able to use MSN today? Just won't connect for me.

Firstly, the only reason it failed is caus I was the "dev" running the project, on my sisters PC caus mine broke, and I didnt have a clue what I was doing anyway :P And yes, for me MSN is working (Im using 2011 beta tho =) )

When did that happen? And I'm using Messenger for Mac. So meh. Won't connect so I'm quite sad. Time to work out how to check for updates.

There are many ports of Sense Hero to G1. I tried some of them and I must say it looks very impressive, but it is incredibly slow on that device. Since Pulse has almost the same specs as G1, my estimation is that the port might be possible, but it wouldn't be usable.

Guest grcd Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) thank you for your help guys. Sadly I went ahead and installed the packages from that link and I have run into some problems that i don't understand: It seems that the 'normal' theme is running alongside the Sense theme (if I press and hold home, I am asked which launcher should handle the request and if i press Sense i go to Sense home, and if press the normal i go back to my previous home). Sorry if i am bad at explaining things... At any rate, I couldn't find the weather/clock widget. How can I get it? UPDATE: Nevermind: Got Weather & Toggle Widget add-on working. thanks a lot! Using the theme and this makes the phone look really close to Legend/Desire. But it is quite 'slow'...... despite having the OC version of FLB 1.7 Anyone knows how to speed up the whole thing? :P Edited October 19, 2010 by grcd
