Google Books is now installed, woot!

Have you got a download link as it's not on the market?

Have no fear, XDA will see to that surely

Can't be the GPU as Brut mod for Maps on Desire has had vector rendering test mode built in for a while and that was very smooth.

Can you give me an overview of what Brut Maps is all about? I'm reading but nothing seems to be sticking today!

Nope, it's stored in /data/data

Always Nandroid and Titanium Backup before flashing any new ROM.

Update for launcher pro has just been released , although sadly it's not the rewrite :

First of all, some news about the full rewrite of LauncherPro: It’s taking longer than I expected, but I’m making steady progress. I’m hoping for a January release, but anything could happen really.

Now about LauncherPro v0.8.2 that is now available on the Android Market. Here’s what’s new:

For all users:

New “Virtual looping” on homescreens! A ton of people requested loop scrolling on homescreens. The problem is that would be incompatible with Live Wallapers, and it would make most static wallpapers look weird. So instead I decided to use a different approach. When you try to scroll past the last homescreen, LauncherPro will quickly bounce back to the first. Conversely, if you try to scroll before the first screen, it will bounce you forward to the last screen. This effectively gives you loop scrolling (you can scroll indefinitely in any direction) without incompatibility issues or nasty visual side effects. (Enable in Preferences > Homescreen Settings)
For Plus users only:

New dock popup: Recent Apps. Will show you a list of your most recently used apps/tasks, so that you can quickly switch between then.
New “Clear cache” option for Twitter and Facebook widgets. In order to reduce disk usage and startup time, you should periodically clear the caches which will remove all stored data (tweets, posts, user photos, etc) from LauncherPro. For the Friends widget, you should clear both caches. (Preferences > LP Widget Settings > Twitter widget/Facebook widget)
That’s it for now.

Bah, lack of GPU in the Desire then?

Doubt it, the G2 has the same adreno 205 as the Desire Z and Desire HD. Its probably more to do with HTC Sense or some other factor. Since all those phones are USA phones maybe we need to wait a bit longer for it in the UK.

States:

The minimum requirements for the new Maps will let it run on any phone running Android 1.6 Donut, but features such as the dynamic rendering and map rotation will only work on more advanced hardware—basically, it's gotta be as powerful as the original Motorola Droid, though YMMV.

Anyone else running CM 6.1? Installed yesterday, yey.


I can't get enough of chrome2phone from Froyo

 

[EniGmA1981]

I'm running CM 6.1.0 alpha 7.5

It's such an improvement over the stock android 2.1 isn't it!

Any good music players that work with an inline remote?

 

[Alexrose1uk]

Cubed music player is meant to, I dont have an inline remote but it does specifically mention it. Cubed is MP3 only though, and much better in morph flow than default cubed mode

I've been playing with Planet in a Bottle for a week now, it's extremely simple and easy but a nice little thing to spend just a minute or so a day on.

 

[EniGmA1981]

Kinda like Black & White meets Sim City...

Your planet keeps growing even if you are not playing

- I'm sure my task killer will see to that! lol

 

[V4NT0M]

Awww don't kill the planet :'(

It's nice to see it grow every day just a little, wish you could also unleash disasters
