Guest newbe5 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 the interesting thing about the video was that i initially tried it with a mouse so there were no fingers in the way.. the mouse was at 90 degrees and only moved around in the left hand side of the screen though. not sure if thats the launcher or the accelerometer fix causing it - i'll have to test! If your using my accelerometer fix then I'm afraid that it is this that has broken mouse support! Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bearded1 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I guessed as much - just tried another mouse and had the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newbe5 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Tbh, i lked the idea of ths, and it is knda flash (especially the music player) but after using it for a couple of days ive gone back to the latest version of launcherpro (the new screen transitions are awesome). This is all style and not a lot of substance unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iceman_ Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Recently I had some free time to work a little bit on this. I wanted to rip the video an music apps from the 3D Desktop and make another plugin only with that, unfortunately I have been unable to do it. I was able to launch the apps but I only got a nice black screen and a hello world text message. Digging a little bit I have found that the apps themselves are managed by the launcher process (don't fork a new process). As this is the first time I have made something with android may be someone with a little bit more experience with android can illuminate this.

Guest rpmccormick Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I don't know why people keep "going back". I use this along side ADW Launcher. When I press Home, it asks me which I want to run. I would prefer to make ADW Launcher the default and have an icon to run this 3D interface, but until I can figure that out, pressing the home button lets me easily switch back and fourth at will. This is definitely not a good default launcher, but it is the perfect replacement for Car-Home or "TV-Home". If someone could make an icon to launch it, and then edit some of the icons (for example: add an exit button instead of user guide), it would be awesome.

Guest Damian J Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sorry if i missed it but where is this launcher from? Another vega re-badge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rvdgeer Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sorry if i missed it but where is this launcher from? Another vega re-badge? It's from the PoV Mobii... You can find quite a few screenshots (+ detailed explanation) of the launcher, widgets, music and video player in the mobii user manual. Will post a link later today...

That is a great idea. Install 3D Launcher APK and you won't have to worry if you want to use another launcher as default. Just Had delivery of one of these anywhere I can get step by step upgrade instructions for update & 3d desktop Follow the instructions here http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...online-kitchen/ Do the same with the plugin file from the first post Edited January 26, 2011 by iceman_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jisonga Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Just downloaded and installed this great little app. Got to say i like it, would be nice if the widgets could be changed but you can't have everything, i will be using it for a while i think. Thanks again to all the modders on this forum you have given me plenty to think about and play with and really given my Vega a boost from the tablet i had delivered. Jason.

Guest add.thebad Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 seems to lack alot of functionality do you not get ant screens for widgets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HunteronX Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 seems to lack alot of functionality do you not get ant screens for widgets? No, you don't unfortunately... But there are many alternative launchers. ADW Launcher EX and Launcher Pro have 3D screen transitions at least, and are much more customisable.

Guest Jisonga Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well thought i would have a little play with buttons along the bottom. I wanted to change internet to open my chossen homepage and link the user guide to open myadventvega website. Now i managed to open the apk file and make the changes i wanted but when i try and upload it it fails something about not signed. I looked up how to get this signed and got completely lost. I am going to try and have another look but if anyone can help that would be great. Thanks. Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jisonga Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Scrub that its not coming up with a signed error I will have to double check later to find what the problem really is called. Also I looked into adding this info into Paul Rom so it loaded as standard but could not see where the apk files went. They where not in the system app folder as the others are. Jason.

Guest Jisonga Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Ok had another little play with this again today and still no luck in editing the buttons on the dock. I wanted to change the internet to open my home page of www.thesixthaxis.com and then map the user guide button to open the website www.myadventvega.co.uk as i thought this would be more helpfull. I found the widgetinfo_us_en.xml file that was contained within the bgtdock.apk file, just looked at everything untill i looked in res\raw folder and found the file there. I opened it using notepad and then found the relevent button info and made my small changes. After updating the the xml file i then went about uploading the 3D desktop files again this time including my updated files. Everything pushs fine except the bgtdock.apk file. It comes up with something like install parse fail no certification. Now i was using my very limited knowledge to try and make some small changes to this great little app but have now got completely stuck. Is there anyway i can manually push this apk onto my vega to see if that works and if so where abouts on the vega do the 3D desktop apks get pushed to. Thanks in advance for any help and sorry to be a pain but i am slowly trying to learn a little more about Android so that i may even be able to give back to this generous community one day. Jason.

Guest Jisonga Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Ok thought i would try something different to move this over to the vega to see if i could get round the problem. I downloaded clockwork rom manager and re zipped up the moddified 3d desktop files and tried to install it that way but no luck. I then tried to just install the bgtdock.apk using ilauncher but it will not install. Off to google we go i think unless some one with some proper brains can step in and help. Thanks. Jason.

Guest rosiekatie Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 This work was made before by OwenRW "http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/326120/3d-interface-working/ Here you will find the same plus 3D widgets and an easy way to install it. Hi I bought a mobi's point of view tablet, for several days I was using its rom and I get used to the 3D desktop. Recently I switched to MoDaCo's rom and I have made a plugin to get this 3D desktop on that rom. I hope it will be useful to you. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QR6JBF0J Install 3D Launcher APK if you want to use another launcher as default and use this one sporadically. To install just unzip and execute the provided script like the MoDaCo's mod. Here you have a great video courtesy of bearded1 hiya guys im a complete newbee i was gonna buy a cheapo chinese tablet from ebay..then i found your forum whooooo gotta have one of these :mellow:. its coming tommorow with the modaco rom installed...could someone please tell me how to install this plugin step by step? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zebrahead Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 hiya guys im a complete newbee i was gonna buy a cheapo chinese tablet from ebay..then i found your forum whooooo gotta have one of these :mellow:. its coming tommorow with the modaco rom installed...could someone please tell me how to install this plugin step by step? thanks Hey, welcome ^^. It's really fairly simple. When you donwnload it there should be an installation script, and it's pretty much as easy as clicking on it. I'd advise reading the guidelines set out in the r8 post as suggested in OP. Zeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widgets cannot be placed on the desktop and it adds nothing to the functionality of the VEGA. If you want something really cool, you should try Corvus5 rom. It is far superior to the original rom and has overclocking and Google market pre-installed. Just read the whole thread, or at very least, the first several entries and ask any questions in that thread.

Guest perrin21 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I am trying to add the 3D Launcher but i keep getting permission denied messages from my mac. Does this launcher work on Corvus5 rom too (this is what i have installed)? Is this why im getting the error? The launcher looks awesome and id reinstall modaco but its not overclockable.

You're chasing a ghost. The launcher might look nice but it's useless. Better going with Launcher Pro or ADW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
