Anyway to get this launcher on our phones?

[rcandsay]

is there a way to get this to work on our optimus s

New SE Launcher + Timescape for O1 - xda-developers

Would have to make sure it works for HVGA screens. I tried the SE Arc launcher but it was not sized for our screens. Really neat launcher though

It's meant for the Optimus One, which I'm pretty sure means it would work on ours.

OP, have you tried just following the instructions and seeing if it works? Make a NAND backup obviously...

 

[rcandsay]

yea i tried and it failed when i flashed the zip

 

[captmeach7]

the build prop edit they provided will need to be changed. It mounts mtdblock1 as system. Just change this to mtdblock5. The build.prop edit just changes your phone manufacturer from LGE to Sony Ericsson.

 

[rcandsay]

not sure how to do that but ill try and figure it out lol, thanks

 

[captmeach7]

open build file with notepad (notepad ++ works best) and then change mtdblock1 to mtdblock5. then just click save. then follow the threads directions.

I'm doin this now... only have 3g tho lol.. no PC atm

 

[jondevere]

Thanks.. and I see you already changed the mount. Thats what I was gonna do. Thanks for saving me a step.

NP - new

No problem, and the original zip failed signature verification for me so i repackaged and signed, but flashing over reborn themes some, but i think it is clashing with Reborn's built in theme. I am going to flash an original framework, or the stock community build first then see.

Odd, when I run either the script or the individual commands that you provide captmeach7, it executes the command without an issue, but when I look at my build.prop, (even after reboot), ro.product.manufacturer still says LGE...I guess I can just manually edit the buildprop myself, but seems odd, no?

 

[shortyjacobs]

Hm, installed fine after I manually edited buildprop and turned off signature verification in recovery. Pretty slick looking. Pictures and Videos widget FCs when you try to add it, but I see this is a known issue from the OP thread on XDA. Still screwing around with it.

Meach, what was screwed up with themes when you flashed? I wonder if your buildprop got rewritten correctly with the manufacturer as sony ericsson?

 

[captmeach7]

same here

The same thing happened and i had to manually edit the build.prop. It did work however. I like that the app drawer has scrollable screens too.

 

[shortyjacobs]

Ugh, getting FCs whenever I try to scroll to the 5th (far right) home screen. Can't seem to make timescape work without more FCs either...Very pretty transparent effects and all though, but the only thing i like about this is the built in pop up folders support, and I think I can get that with SiMi Folders or a number of other widgets.

Edit: got rid of FCs on 5th home screen by clearing data for the launcher.
Edit: FCs in timescape seem to have disappeared after I sacrificed a goat and prayed to the good god GuJubu, but the massive assed font makes for limited usability to say the least, lol.

Hmmm - is it important that he manufacture get changed from LGE to Sony Erricson? My wife had an X10 for a while - she hatted Time Scape - resource hog for sure.

How does it perform on the Optimus S?

It's very very smooth. The font in timescape makes timescape unusable. I think the manufacturer change is what allows a lot of the crap to work in it, so I guess "pretty important".

 

[captmeach7]

ok so

Ok i got some more screenshots. The font is pretty big. As you can see, the background from reborn is covering the text in certain dialogs.




This zip is signed, plus it has the build.prop in it from Reborn V2 (hope you guys don't mind) since this is the rom i flashed over. http://db.tt/hAodq1t You can just flash in recovery. I didn't wipe anything.,

 

[rcandsay]

Thanks alot for doing so much work on this u guys rock, do I still need to enter the commands in the terminal or can I just flash it?
