Hi guys. Sorry if this is a old and aready answered question.
Is is normal that if I can get to the stock Android launcher?
I can do so by two (2) ways:
1. Selecting a different Sprint ID pack (the non Samsung pack)
2. If I clear the setting to use the default launcher Samsung TouchWiz launcher.
Thanks,
bennzbennz
P.S. I have CREDO Mobile which uses Sprint for phone and service.
Normal... Sammy usually leaves stock launcher. easiest way to use it is clear defaults from twlauncher... Ive heard once you uss sprint ID you cant get rid of it without flashing... But some love it i guess...
Thanks

I mean , is samsung widget another file you have to add to the system folder of the ROM?
Its not a biggy if there is no way of doing it, just wanderd

They only work with touchwiz. If you're using another launcher, switch to touchwiz.

Is there a way to keep it from being killed? Because whatever sprint did to it when they changed it from stock to sprint iD, it now takes forever to load my setup and the app drawer, and its getting annoying!

I think the only things you can do that I know of is not run the "infected stock launcher" or sprintID and install a 3rd party laucher that looks like the default launcher or install the stock launcher from ASOP. From what I can tell the "infected" launcher is in launcher2.apk so sprint at least left us the option of stock without rooting even if they don't realize it.

So, from what you said, I'm gathering that we can still access the stock launcher2.apk? Because, the launcher2.apk is sprint iD in EC05? I guess I didn't understand what you said well lol

That's what I get for trying to type and I talk at the same time...
If you just try to switch to the stock launcher by clearing Twlauncher as the default, and just selecting "launcher" when you hit the home button, it will activate SprintID for the "clean" ID (which is lame!).

Lol, I know how to get to it, its what I'm currently using. I need to know how to keep it from being killed after using a couple of apps. It takes forever to load compared to the stock launcher2.apk that was in eb13. Its annoying.

I have every 3rd party launcher available, this doesn't come close to answering my original question. I usually use LauncherPro or Launcher7, but I want to try the stock one. If you don't have an answer to my question, don't post. Simple.

Has the 2.3.3 been rooted yet?
JOKING! My real question is I'm trying to make my unrooted evo bearable atm and downloaded ADW. When I'm using ADW as my launcher, it's very laggy and stuttering. Is there a way to stop sense from running?
I tried Settings > Applications > Manage and ending the HTC Sense, but it just relaunches.
Any Ideas?
No its part if the system you cannot end it
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Thanks for the quick response. Since I can't end it, any good ideas on getting ADW to run better?
Sorry I don't, have you tried any other launcher? Or do you prefer adw? Adw would lag on my epic slightly but not launcher pro
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Nah, I didn't think of Launcher Pro. Put it on and it don't lag like ADW. I do prefer ADW, but for the time being this'll work. Only need 3 home screens since I don't have many apps.
Thanks!
The only reason I want to root my Note 2 is to uninstall Samsung's crap. Allshare and ChatON come to mind, but there's probably more.
I have a few questions, though:
1. Is the toolkit mentioned here worth it??
2. Can I uninstall TouchWiz after rooting?
3. If I want a pure Android 4.2 OS (like a Nexus device), which ROM should I get?
All the answers to your questions DO exists in this forum. You can search as this way you ll make informative decisions and also know how to get out of trouble if you encounter any.

1. Yes the toolkit is amazing. I use it myself, it makes things very simple and easy!
2. If you use a Samsung ROM, you can't really remove Touchwiz. Touchwiz is in the messaging app, it's in the browser and it's in the pull-down menu, S-Note is Touchwiz, as is the camera. Touchwiz is a framework, a collection of apps, app settings, theme components, features... Touchwiz is not just the launcher. You can however de-Touchwizify your phone by using a different launcher, for example.
3. If you want "pure Android" like on a Nexus, what you need is an AOSP ROM. Look in the "original development" part of the N7100 forums.
He meant touchwiz launcher if I am not wrong.

In this situation you won't have any launcher and you won't have option to select any menu from device.
In such case you can do
login to web version of play store from PC with same a/c on device
and you can install any launcher from web, once it install launcher, you can again use your device normally.
Hello everyone,
I recently flashed this rom on my Sprint GS3 (after being out of the custom rom world for a bit) and I had a few (probably noob) questions. With regard to theme-ing, after I change the color of something, is there an easy way to change it back to default or do I just have to try and hand match it as close as possible?
Also, I installed (flashed) the 4.4 AOSP launcher from myhub, but there does not seem to be any kind of settings menu for it. It defaults to only 2 pages, which isn't nearly enough to hold my apps and widgets. Is there anyway to get more screens? If not, how do I uninstall it? (In application manager, it only gives the option to turn off, not uninstall).
Sorry if the answer to these are already in the forums somewhere, but I've looked and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks,
Haven't upgraded to the latest version, but I don't *think* there's a way to revert to a "default" color.
With the launcher, you should be able to get to the settings option by hitting the menu button while on ur home Page?

Thanks, I don't think there is a way to go back to default either...and if you go to the settings for the launcher it just takes you to the Google now settings. It's really strange.

You can only create a new screen by dragging an app icon or a widget from an existing screen to the right side of that screen, the G.E.L. will then make a new screen available to place that app or widget on. Personally, Nova Launcher is a much better alternative, or Apex for that matter.
