Ok, I'll ask if no one else will, why not run a task killer? What is the downside?

There are any number of applications on the phone that I literally never use like Amazon MP3, Slacker, and Visual Voicemail, why would I want to leave those running when I have no use for them, and there is an easy way to kill them off when they spawn themselves?
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
I think its ok to use Task Killers for occasionally stopping apps that are giving you issues (running slowly, frozen). The problem with using Task Killers is that it can make your system unstable, it can mess up widgets, and Android doesn't really need it. Android will close apps on its own when it needs more memory . Most apps, if programed correctly, will use little to no battery power when idle in the background. It can take more battery power to start up an app again rather than opening it from idle.
[Vibrant General] rjwisniewski:
We're finding more and more that on higher end phones, such as the Vibrant, when a task killer is running the Android OS isn't being allowed to control the apps to it's full potential and some of the task killers are causing problems. After we remove the task killers, problems can occasionally be resolved. Not always, it's just something we're seeing. At least in my store and when I can in to support.
[Vibrant General] hockeyrcks9901:
Because when an app is running in the background, it uses practically no battery. Most of the time it is not using any processor clock cycles just taking up some ram space. You don't have to worry about the ram being used because android will automatically end apps when it needs more ram. A lot of the time, ending an app via task killers will actually slow the phone down because when you go to open the app again it has to totally reopen rather than just awake from an idle state. Android 2.2 is even better at managing background tasks and running a task killer will almost guarantee a slower phone.

Smart Bars not a bad one that you can start up and kill a task that wont exit out. However i wouldn't use it to "free up RAM"
[Vibrant General] Arcadia310:
When you start up the phone on stock rom w/ all the bloatware you have like 20+ random apps already running by default. If you ran a quadrant test now your score wouldn't be as high as if you killed all those apps then did the test. I went from 1900 to 2250 by killing all the apps. Not a huge difference but personally I don't like things like Slacker or GoGo running in the background when I never use them.

I don't like using task killers though, I just wish all these stupid apps wouldn't start when the phone is booted up. It can really make the phone slower. Killing all apps + lagfix means load times are almost non existant. Having all those apps running + lagfix means you will get some stutters in load times.
[Vibrant General] orells:
Task killers often show cached apps. They are not running just on stand by until you open them.

[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
There is an app called "Start Up Auditor" It disables any app you want (yes including the bloatware) Form starting up when you boot up and randomly while the phone is on.

For example I have all my bloatware that I don't want set to do not start at boot up unless I physically choose to open that app.

Better than any task killer out there. So you NEVER have to worry about the bloatware other than it taking up some memory.

I had my task killer on auto kill cuz i was frustrated..... but i'm gonna go download that "Star up Auditor"... sounds like the most efficient way... since i actually do use Slacker..

anyhow..thanks alot guys for the suggestions..

hey guys im a noob here but i have searched all over..

im looking for a nexus one froyo rom for the evo...

i want evenything to stay the way it is i just want the launcher like the nexus one and the main menu to look like the nexus one froyo.

i know launcher pro has it but i cant add htc widgets to it..

any advice would be appreciated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saf100792:
o you can't have the htc widgets without sense so if thats what you're really looking for you're stuck using sense. thats the only launcher that allows those widgets
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullshark_the_real:
Just out of curiosity, which sense widgets can't you live without?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungAceAtlanta:
The thing with cyanogen is that it uses ADW launcher.. some fav it. some dislike it.. i personally dislike it, ill rather have basic 2.2 launcher like the nexus one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullshark_the_real:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
Well, install launcher pro with cm6 and get beautiful widgets.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullshark_the_real:
Ohhh, give it a shot.. you might like it.. I like, MUCH better than the sense crap. You can use it with Cyano.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INDIANAJONNY:
I like Zeam launcher.

It's light weight and crazy fast.

And it's home cooked by an xda modder!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungAceAtlanta:
Yeah Launcher Pro and beautiful widgets go together. ADW launcher just got to much of useless stuff for me

no luck on this i guess?

no roms that got what im looking for ??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
It's not about the rom, it's about wanting a home application that isn't Sense to be able to use Sense's widgets. The standard Nexus One launcher is included in even the stock rom, but you won't be able to load Sense's widgets onto it.

I have one recommendation, check out LauncherPro Plus. It comes with some of its own awesome widgets. They are honestly as good as Sense's calendar, people, bookmarks, and messages widgets. In fact, they look almost too much like a direct copy. You can scroll inside of them and even resize them. If those are the ones you want to keep, LauncherPro is what you want. In every other way, it is much like the stock launcher on Nexus One.

You will lose Friend Stream, but there are other widgets that can approximate that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
I reread your post. You asked for a Nexus One main screen and launcher. By main screen, do you mean the lockscreen? The one you have to drag your finger on to unlock your phone? If not, the home screen and list of programs are both handled by the launcher.

Here is what I would recommend:

Rom:

Cyanogen Mod 6 - It will make all of the menus and applications feel just like what you get on Nexus One.

Apps:

Fancy Widget - It looks and feels exactly like the HTC weather & clock widget that is the default on the main screen.

LauncherPro Plus - CM6 comes with ADW Launcher, which is pretty close to the vanilla Nexus One launcher, but LauncherPro Plus has its own widgets that look and function almost exactly like HTC's widgets.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
I think you may want to clarify exactly what you want. As far as I understood the opening question, it was pretty well answered.

Currently CM6 is the only ROM that is not based on the HTC Sense stock ROM. It is instead based on the open source Android code, just like the Nexus One. There are a few tweaks that Cyanogen has added, like some extra settings, different boot screen, and some cosmetic tweaks. It also uses ADW launcher by default.

However you could just install the stock launcher on cyanogen mod, and other than the settings widget having blue highlights, you are pretty much at stock.

There is no way to use the HTC Sense widgets with anything besides the Sense launcher.

If all you care about is the launcher and lock screen, you can install just about any 2.2 rom, remove htclockscreen from /app/system, install the stock launcher, and you are done. In that case you would still have the HTC messaging, browser, calendar, etc.

i think you are not right because

the option to boot one of the two os is before wm is booted.

the pictures are showing first a phone with, and second without zooming scale on bottom. that's also strange.

i hope that also one of experts here have a look on my question.

Your right. It's on an HTC winmo phone. An .exe shuts down winmo and upon reboot you have the option between dualbooting winmo and Android.

[Desire Themes and Apps] BrightSilence:
I just compiled the package for now. Only apk file I changed was the framework, to add the C version of the battery mod to the Espresso framework.

So drag and drop does not work after this on helicopter view. If I figure out how to change this I will try to add it back in. But I'm fairly new to this, so no promises.

Do I just flash the entire Zip in recovery or do I just unpack everything before? Please reply, thanks:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] BrightSilence:
Do a full boot after flashing the ROM first, then reboot into recovery and install this just like you installed the ROM. If you don't do a full boot into the LeeDrOiD ROM, you'll get stuck in a boot loop.

Hey BrightSilence, been using v1.3 (but without the boot stuff) on a custom MCR R8 ROM... Tried v2.0 but notice that it seems to effect the text on apps that you place on your homescreens... Namely the text seems to be cut at the bottom, i.e. the second P of People for example...

Reverted back to my modded version of v1.3 and its fine now... Any idea what that is?

Hey all,

I've noticed a lot of people posting this problem, while the answer has been posted by others as well (thanks :) ) I will repeat it once more.

For now, this mod can only be flashed using clockwork recovery. AmonRA won't work. Make sure you have signature verification turned off. I will look into fixing this at some point, but for now, this is the only solution.
[Desire Themes and Apps] BrightSilence:
Currently testing 2.1 with many more blue elements and fixes for several widgets and stretched images including the folder headers as mentioned in this topic.

Now I want to get some opinions on the latest changes. I included the carbon fiber clock and changed the espresso navigation bar to have carbon print as well, but I'm not sure what I prefer. I really like the slick look of espresso, but the carbon print is nice as well.

So before I upload version 2.1, I'd like to get some input. I took the following screenshot to show how it looks while I'm testing the latest version.
[Desire Themes and Apps] harisled:

everything works fine so far, i have zero problems, except if i am missing anything:confused::confused:
[Desire Themes and Apps] BrightSilence:
Hah, ok, this is quite clearly a result of me never having used AmonRA. I guess it works as long as you turn of signature verification. I assume that that's turned on by default in AmonRA given the many issues people had with it. I revert my statement in that case. Flashing with either clockwork or amonra works as long as you have signature verification switched off. I'll add that to the first post.

[Desire Themes and Apps] Moe5508:
I like it, I like it, I like it...:D
[Desire Themes and Apps] BrightSilence:
You might have to do a full wipe and factory reset. Then follow the instructions like in the first post. Or you can revert to a backup in case you made one. These circumstances are the reason you should always make a backup before flashing any adjustments to your phone.

You can try just wiping cache and dalvik cache first, then flashing leedroid followed by a full boot, wiping cache and dalvik cache again and flashing the theme. But be aware that the first boot takes a looooong time after the rom AND after the theme. The X animation is supposed to loop, just let it run for a while, it can take up to 15 minutes. Do not remove the battery during this time.

if none of that works, do a wipe of everything (except battery) and factory reset and follow the instructions in the first post. However, this will mean the loss of all your apps and settings, you can always redownload those though.

Also if you use titanium backup to restore settings, make sure you don't restore any of the system apps and settings (indicated by red text in titanium backup). They can mess up your installation as well.

Hope it works out!

hi brightsilence, can you put some instructions for us to retain the lockscreen and transparent appdrawer from the AurextSense ROM?

Hi BrightSilence,

A few questions if you don't mind:

- would this work on an Sense Eclair ROM? (I'm using Modaco r3.1);

- is it possible to use the included framework-res.apk to modify the battery to super circle battery version B?

- is it possible to have a version of this mod that only includes BlackEspressoMod, TransparentNotificationPullDown, ExpressoBar ala Zaphyr and homescreen Drag and Drop in helicopter view?
