i am trying to apply a moded launcher pro but seem to be having issues. i uninstalled the previous version prior to flashing the .zip but still no luck. can someone possibly fill me in on what im doing wrong?
You shouldn't need to flash a zip to install a modded version of LauncherPro. It should be an APK which you can just install while the phone is running. Can you link us to the modded version you are trying to install?
yeah it's for the warm z rom. it's listed under the optional mods but heres the link.
sorry this isn't moded its just a previous version but if theirs any more out there id love to try em

Hi guys
I want to flash a custom rom. But I dont like the default launcher (launcher2.apk) can I replace it with Launcher Pro and can launcher pro still be updateble through the market.
I deleteled the launcher2.apk from /system/app folder and added the launcher pro.apk but after I flashed the rom I saw that the market doesn't recognize the installed luncherpro. So is it possible that I put the launcher apk file in a non-root folder inside the flashable rom zip file?
Another question I downloaded the "maps5.8.0 ownhere testkeyresign.apk" to be able to have navigation support in my country. Now should I put this file inside /system/app before I flash the custom rom or should I install it later? Whats better?
Just download launcher pro from market install it and then delete the other launcher and u should be fine

To answer your launcher question, try installing launcherpro from the market, and THEN deleting Launcher2.apk, that way you will only have launcherpro, which would also be updatable. You can use android commander to do so (requires android-sdk)
And to answer your maps query, it doesn't really matter, if you put the .apk in the ROM before installing you won't be able to uninstall it in the future as it will be classes as a "system app".. that's the only difference.
Thanks for the answers. Looks like the best way is to install the new launcher and maps after I flashed the rom

put your maps in the /system/app if want to use forever if not should be in /data/app folder if your custom rom has this feature so you can uninstall this later- read about /data/app feature also if your custom rom has root feature or you have a rooted phone it doesn't matter - you can delete this apk with Root Explorer by example
regarding launcher apk Market doesn't recognize this because is signed differently than the apk from Market -let us say I download from Market an apk and decompile it... to compile back and make that apk I will use own signature to accomplish this task so is that Market will say yeah ! a new app there because this is signed by me not original developer or can be signed in Eclipse with debug signature- also this signature is not ok

Yes. Just when u put the new launcher apk in system/app folder, remember to change permissions before u reboot.
Howcan I change the launcher before flashing rom (stock rom) ??
Hey, had to reset EVO on Christmas but it turned out to be a great gift giving me a faster better device fixing the insufficient storage errors & I replaced Sense with GO Launcher EX which I find an amazing free highly customizable launcher and way faster than stock sense (reminds me why I love android).
Only remaining issue seems to be that some apps I liked are no longer on the market such as 3D Gallery (I think Cooliris made it for the original Nexus http://www.cooliris.com/mobile/android/ ). I used to be able to download it from the market alongside the stock Gallery (not replacing it). I've downloaded other photo apps but still would like that one. I will now be backing up .apk files to sdcard with File Expert but does anyone know what happened to that app & where is a safe place to get .apk files that are no longer available in the market?
Google search turned up the following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653503 but wanted to run the issue here for any updates before I try that apk.
-Thanks
BTW still on 2.2 any reason not to update to 2.3 if I want to root it later
& any other faster loading+cool media gallery apps?
BTW, any reason not to install Gallery3D.apk - (666.7 KB, 17510 views) found at:

(it's no longer on market & liked it)
I was wondering how you can get the accuweather widget to work on go launcher or nova launcher it doesn't show up in the widget list it's has to be something simple but all the help will be appreciated thanks

Anybody

Probably just for touch whiz. You can download it from the store.
Are you running a custom rom or just launcher? Here's a link to add it back:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/w7zh4bnzjhstcxu/Accuweather.zip
Just flash it in recovery (not my work btw, can't remember who I originally downloaded it from).
Or if it's just through the launcher that's not working try this:
