It's a system protected file, so astro can't install it. Push through ADB, it's easier

anyway to use terminal to install

Very nice work

well all theme developers who wants to use this in their theme ill be glad

Very nice launcher.

Let's say I don't have adb....
i used su.fb app and moved the launcher to system/app and tried installing it there..I lost my home button and still no changes...tried jus moving it there ..and a reboot and I got black screen..wiped n flashed now I'm back to square 1 is it even possible to make the changes with the su.fb app??

oh and i just finish another one

idk why android stretched it like that.. the icon should be a perfect circle
Anyone experiencing this?
i can upload the real PNG

Would this launcher work on 3.9.10?

I flashed the 1.2 full rom, after the setup it went into a blank screen. When i press the end button, and pressed it again i can see the lockscreen. When i unlock my phone it just goes back to the black screen.

@Barina, that theme looks sweet bro! Nice work.

can u post the Wallpaper from the screen shots?

thanks for the complements
here is the background
only i dont know who create it....
oh and also you can download my complete theme from here its include the VistaLauncher 1.2

will this work on CM 3.9.11.2?

pls help with patched rosie

I tried to patch Rosie.apk from stock froyo rom to allow drag screens (like in modaco custom rom):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So i deodexed it, decompiled, made changes, compiled, signed, zipaligned and replaced my Rosie.apk in stock rooted froyo ROM. But then Sense didn't boot up. Where can be a problem? Maybe it don't work because i'm using deodexed Rosie.apk on odexed ROM? (as stock rom is odexed). Can pls someone with deodexed rom try this patched rosie?
Edit: I did it! Tested and working on stock rooted froyo rom (odexed), download:

i did that too but didn't work...i even tried paul's patched rosie but don't boot...i think it's cause of odexed rom and deodex system app

It's working now.

What did you try differently as I was trying to modify framework-res.apk and then Sense wouldn't launch.

I have modded framework-res.apk too and it's working well. It's not odexed, so there was no problem with this. I decompiled it, added supercircle battery mod files, compiled, signed, zipaligned and then i flashed it via update.zip.

What was odd was that I pushed the original back on and that didn't work either (unless I named the backup wrong but I doubt that). I never signed it, but, I never used to on eclair either. Maybe I was just being stupid, I'll try again.

hey man why do you have commands for deleting the dalvic cache and cache in update-script???
i edited it and just left the command to copy rosie into system and it worked just fine
thanks anyway for the patched apk

sorry what do you mean by dragging scenes?........................sudeki300

Okay, I pull framework-res.apk, rm'd it, pushed it back. Now it won't work (keeps restarting, launcher fails). I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. I played around like this on eclair fine.

not scenes....screens!!!!
let's say you want to make your very left screen as the default one (meddle) you pinch in regularly to bring the screen preview , press and hold on the rom you want and drag it whereever you want to be

ok calm down as the first poster said it was scenes i thought that was what we was talking about...................sudeki300

i am not mad man anyway...if someone wants the update without the commands to wipe cache...it's availiable in my rom's thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7564679&postcount=92
THANKS again to the creator
ranwej

no worries lambro have a good night...................sudeki300

Wipe dalvik cache is there for deodexed rosie.apk, which i tried before. As now is odexed, that command is useles and i will remove it. But it isn't doing any problems either with that command.

problems now but why delete my cache....it may affect other apps....dunno though!!!
anw good find

@ranwej
Would kindly tell me what are the changes you did to code
I want to do the same to a newer version.... appreciate it

Sorry i deleted that project since i don't have HTC phone anymore.. As i remember... you need to add 2 lines of code to one file in decompiled app .
Try to deodex and decompile my patched file and original one from proper firmware version... then compare folders with some compare program (i'm using BEYOND COMPARE - very good one) and you will see that difference...

[TUT] AOSP Froyo Launcher

ONLY WORK WITH FROYO
So nobody made a Tut how to become the Froyo default Laucher..
I thought its could be usefull Maybe i will add some other AOSP App..
So now we will come to the TUT:
1) Download the File
2) Copy the File to the SD-Card
3) Use Root Explorer or Something other like Astro File Manager (You need Root support)
4) Copy the Launcher2.apk to system/app
5) reboot
ok there it is --> Stock Froyo Launcher
You can Install it Only with The Package Installer, but then this is not at the System Folder and it would be deleted after a Wipe..
I thinks it is Buckles with/without Lagfix..
A lot of Apps
and so on..
Switch between Launcher with Homeswitcher ( Search at the Market )

Downloadlink [http://www.multiupload.com/1LTATKVMXD]
NOW THE DOWNLOADLINK WORKS (Thanks to titooo7)

Thanks By the way I didnt do it in that way because I received a meessage saying that there wasn't enough space, so I simply installed the apk and it works.
Apparently free of lags, but I think I prefer the way that touchwiz organize the apps... However someone could prefer this one
PS: Where did you take that file from?

link not work

test this one: http://www.multiupload.com/1LTATKVMXD
(the one of the opening post had a ] at the end of the link)

This is good but use a lot of RAM.

Coollll !!
Thanks a lot!
halabibk but touch wiz uses a lot of ram too, isnt it the same?

adw is better maybe

Better or maybe
Well this is official froyo launcher, the same that is used in Nexus One if I'm not wrong and it must have some good thing: no lags.
By the way I wish I could edit the bottom bar of main menu...

adw is better ....

Cool, but could you just explain the reason?
adw is probably better (not in horizontal mode because it lags a bit). However if I’m not wrong the one of this thread has a cube effect on the apps menu and adw doesn’t. Some people might prefer the official one of froyo for this reason.
Its not always about which one is better, sometimes it’s more important the look of the launcher, feel comfortable using it or to know that you are using an official launcher.

Thank you very much. I love stock froyo launcher like Nexus. I prefer it over all.
Thank you so much man

Download Homeswitcher from the Market and switch back to Launcher Pro.. What are your Build Infos Maybe i can solve the Problem.. Or delete the apk in System/app and reboot should give you a message... Do you have Launcher Pro now installed?

It looks like Launcher Pro.
What's the deference between them?
Will this replace the TW launcher?
I already use Launcher Pro should I uninstall it if I install this?
Thank you

There is no need to uninstall anything. It wont replace tw launcher. Install home switcher to switch between launchers.
Well I guess this launcher was created before launcher pro. Launcher Pro got is muuuch more customizable, but I think this one works better than touchwiz, launcher pro and adw. But as I said the bast thing is that is not customizable

Does this launcher use less ram than LauncherPro?

[Q] First Kies Backup on My New Sprint Galaxy S3 Contains 7778 'Other Items'

What's going on with this backup? Many of my apps from my other Android devices (HTC EVO 4G, ASUS Transformer 101, Kindle Fire) automatically installed when I logged into my Google account. I've also uploaded ~350 JPG's. But where did all of these 'Other Misc. Content' 7778 items come from? The backup via USB has dragged on for over an hour now with 2500 items to go. Kies provided no warning of the time the backup might require, gives no indication of how much longer it's going to take, and just cautions me not to disconnect my phone.

This is why I don't backup or restore with Kies. It takes forever and you get all kinds of stuff you probably don't want. I don't check the box to have Google back up my phone when I flash a new Rom either. I like to install everything fresh, especially with a new phone.

I understand...Kies backup sucks. I've since rooted the Sprint Galaxy S3 and am using Titanium Pro. Thanks for the reply.

You bet. Can't go wrong with Titanium Backup. I have system apps backed up from a couple dozen leaked ICS roms on my E4GT. If I flash a new Rom and something is missing that I want such as the ICS Calendar, I can restore it with TB.

do you have a copy of the asop clock anywhere? I can't figure out how to set the default alarm sound in the touchwiz one....
Sent from my SPH-L710

Not sure what clock you are talking about but I have a desk clock that's pretty cool. Are you familiar with the 7zip application for Windows? I think their is a Mac version, too and you can download it free. You can use it to extract apks from roms and then either add them to another Rom before you flash it or copy it to your pc then move to your phone. If you want an app from a Rom, download the Rom. Open 7zip and on the left corner of the app navigate to the Rom. Once the Rom is open, click on system>app and you'll see all the apps in the Rom. (There's a few in Data>app too.) Right click the apk you want and select copy, paste it somewhere on your computer, then add it to your phone. If you want to add an app to a Rom, open system app with 7 zip and drag and drop the apks you want into the folder. Exit 7zip by clicking the up button in the upper left of the program. I'll pm you the desk clock. If you install it, you'll get a clock widget that looks like this

Can I use the Phone apk in this post in 2.3.6, just for the sake of modding DPI without Phone App FC afterwards? Is it compatible to 2.3.6 or do I have to change to ICS?
Thanks in advance
