Ok so it is best to put launcher pro and beautifull widgets on the /system/app directory so that it can be loaded from memory instead of SD card.
So I tried to copy the launcherpro apk from /data/app to /system/app after putting the system directory in RW mount with root explorer.
But it doesnt seem to happen and after one minute the phone reboots and nothing has been done ...
Probably because launcher pro is running..
Question 1: How can I write the launcher pro and beautifull widgets apk to the /system/app directory
Question 2: What happens to the settings/data from launcher pro?
NoOne ?
Is there no one that can help me?
Pleaaaase

Guys,
I want to understand Android a bit better.
I'm running LeeDroid 2.2d A2SD, so all my apps are running on the SD
1) Now what is the difference between \System\app & \Data\app ?
2) Which of those two is redirected to the SD card?
3) Is there some good reasons to put an application in \system\app instead of \data\app, performance maybe ?
Thanks for the gurus that can answer these questions
/system/ is the system partition, under normal conditions, users do not have write access to this partion. Obviously rooting and s-off will allow write access to this partition, /data/ is the user partiton, it holds all downloaded apps in /data/app and all user data and settings in /data/data. When you use app2sd+ /data/app/ and the dalvik cache is moved to /system/sd/app and /system/sd/dalvik-cache. (the ext partition). Now although you can manually move apps to /system/app, these apps will not be updatable by normal methods, the only way to update apps on the /system/ partition is to manually replace the old .apk with the updated version. One great way ive found to increase space is to change the partition tables of the mtd partitions on your device. Basically reducing the size of the /system/ partition and adding that reclaimed space to data, there is a tut in the development section on this!

Hi...
I am a total noob at development.....I have just downloaded a ROM from the development forums.....I was wondering if there is a way to install another launcher ...( i want to install ilauncher)......
what is the way and how can I do it ???
I have downloaded the ilauncher.apk from market....
what to do next ???
do I install it like any other application or I need to do something else ??
any help will be appreciated...
thanxxx
Usually it should be the normal procedure. After downloaded and install from Play Store, press home button and it should prompt for which launcher to use and option to make default launcher.

you could use root explorer , mount r/w and remove the launcher apk from system/app, thus removing it from the system, wehn i used to change launchers in cm7 i did this so i would prevent any confictions with the other launcher, also move the launcher apk to the system/app

True but may i add, you need to move the apk to system/app then installing it before removing default launcher.

ahh,next to ics rom.
Problem 1:
Some users find that the Swype is force closing, and the absence of gallery and music in App drawer.
If you face this problem, here is what you can do:
1. Using root explorer, delete Swype.apk from System/app (or) uninstall swype using link2sd.
2. Try looking for play music and gallery ics apk in system /app. If present MOVE them to SD card using root explorer. Tap rw at the top to move.
3. Reboot.
4. Install the following attached apk's in the post: SwypeICS.apk, and GalleryICS.apk, Google play music. apk or from the apks which you just moved to your SD card. For better performance of play music, again move the apk to System /app...and set permissions to rwrr. (Tick the first two boxes in the first row and the 1st box in the other two rows) and reboot.
5.Enjoy.
Problem 2:
ICS Gallery is not working on my phone.
Solution:Have you done it properly? Try again. I've fixed the link. Still if it doesn't work, I'm afraid you will have to install the old Gingerbread Gallery. Copy and paste gallery3D.apk from attachments into System/app using root explorer, set permissions to rwrr and reboot.
Problem 3:
Status Bar does not appear.
Solution: Re Install the ROM from beginning. It happened because the flashing was not done properly.
