My choices of launcher :
-ADWLauncher EX
-Zeam Launcher
-LauncherPro Plus
Anybody knows how to make any of these as default one instead of TouchWiz? I mean that to uninstall the TouchWiz and replace it with the above launchers, totally.

Download Home Switcher from the Market, start it and set whatever launcher you want as default (I suggest Zeam because it's extremely lightweight).
Download Titanium Backup from the Market (requires root access), start it and uninstall TwLauncher.apk
each launcher will ''ask'' if it can be the default ...

When you press home button a dialog box does appear and ask you which you want.
Try out Nemus Launcher, its the fastest among others.

See, only thing you have to make sure is, when you delete TWlauncher, you have to have atleast one Launcher installed. Otherwise your phone might end in a bootloop or other problems occure.
You don't need necessarily a HomeSwitcher. Just go to Settings->Application->Manage Applications->All->select your current default launcher->clear defaults
Now if you hit the Home-Button it will ask you to choose the default launcher for the home-button. It will ask you once again if you restart which launcher to choose.

Alright thanks man!
Btw, to make any launcher my default launcher, i DO NOT have to put the .apk of the specific launcher into /system/app and change the permissions etc, right?

Hi..if u want a hardcore way,using a root explorer,just replace that touchwiz.apk(delete touchwiz) at /system/app..u can find ur user app in /data/app..in there,u will find ur installed launcher from market..before that,mount system to read/write instead of read/only..and after that reboot..
Or u also can do this.before u want to flash a particular rom..unzip the rom,do what I say with above way..re-zip and flash.
With This way,it give u more experience about how ur system works and lets u know more..and it teaching u...but don't be too optimistic for what u doing...it can mess up ur device if u don't know what are u doing..always be aware..
Its just my suggestions...
I'm not guarantee ur phone will not crash..follow the-e and irishpankke advice If u want a safe-mode way

home switcher/manager
my suggestion is you can download any home launcher switcher/manager app from the Market, that way, it will be easy for you to switch to a different launcher if you grew tired of you default one.
first time you install a new launcher and you pressed the home button, it will ask you what default launcher you prefer.

So what is more reliable and safest? Method 1 or Method 2 eh?
I have tried Method 1 actually and screen blanks after rebooting except there is time, battery and signal level.

Can I just ask what you are trying to achieve here??
Is it just the Launcher?
or is it the TW integration in the ROM, as I don't think we have a ROM yet yet which entirely strips out the TW integration.......perhaps you are working on one??
If it is just the Launcher, you can just make whatever launcher you require default, by any of the methods explained above, my manual method, or the home launcher switcher.....
but TW Launcher is not stripped out here, you could freeze it with TB or Gemini.
I just think it is safer to wait for CM 7, which will not have any trace of TW!!!
Just a quote from Stack exchange:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ove-touchwiz-and-revert-to-a-stock-ui-android
It's impossible to root out TouchWiz without modifying the Samsung source code to remove and replace it; it's heavily embedded in the OS. This would be a massive effort and I don't believe anyone's done it. The only alternative is a ROM built from stock in the first place, such as Cyanogen as Ryan mentioned.

I just wanna achieve the launcher actually. Hehe. I just don't like the TouchWiz, that's it. So i thought anyone knows how to remove it totally and integrate other launchers like Zeam, LauncherPro and more. But i think i just need to do the easiest way which is when i press home button, i'll set it as default and done. Thanks anyways! Sorry for my continuous questions, i just need confirmations.
Guys, i have done it. I used LauncherPro before. I went to 'manage applications' and selected LauncherPro and clicked 'clear defaults. Then i installed Launcher 7 and pressed 'set as default'. Then i uninstalled LauncherPro and reboot my phone. Voila! My launcher is now and ever the Launcher 7. Thanks guys for the superb tips with the details! Good day!

I have a few questions about the AOKP rom for the Samsung epic 4g:
1. Is this an MTD rom(im pretty sure it is)
2. If I flash AOKP from CM9 and don't like it and I made a backup from CM9, can I restore that backup and all my apps and preferences will be restored, or no?
3. If I flash AOKP will I lose all my apps from CM9.
4. What are the differences between CM9 and AOKP- mainly battery life and performance?
I will try to answer some of your questions.
1) Yes it is MTD
2) Since they are both MTD, if you make a nandroid of CM9, you should be able to switch back with no problem.
3)Someone else will probably know this one better than me.
4) I know they both come from the same source and are similar but from what I've read AOKP has the better battery life. I'm not sure if performance is much different.
Mainly aokp has more features. You don't have to wipe and your apps will stay.

That is usually recommended for best results but not needed for coming from another ICS ROM. Run a nandroid, wipe Dalvik and cache and flash.

The devs were especially asserting this during the change in builds from Android 4.0.3 to merged Android 4.0.4 a few releases ago..............also for those jumping from other ROMs, but as it has been stated you're ok to not have to wipe coming from CM9...............or else just wipe the two caches prior to flashing + remember to flash GApps 20120317 (+ be sure to make a Nandroid!)
.........sent from today's android = 4.0.4
Ok, so I flashed AOKP but there is just one problem and I also have one question:
1. when I toggle "Enable bar" in the notification bar settings and it says to reboot, when I reboot my status bar dissapears!
(2.) In CM9 there was a toggle in the status bar that toggled 3g, Is there a mod for this in AOKP?
Quick question: Does roaming work on the latest build?
Thanks!

don't think theres a mod JUST for that. but try flashing a blue aokp theme maybe if you like the blue. just remove everything from the theme except i guess systemui.apk and romcontrol.apk and flash and you should be set.

Google replacing boot animation on android phone. It is as simple as finding one, downloading the bootanimation.zip and replacing it in system\media on your phone with something like root explorer.

Hi people I was trying to install the trebuchet launcher on stock T-Mobile ICS and every time I chose a widget it froze to a hard reboot level, I am not using ADB. Just wondering has anybody tried this yet? I want to change the look and Trebuchet for me is the best so far. Thanks in advance
Yes i did. You have to make it system app. I made it via titanium back up.

Yes you need a root even to use titanium backup app.
iCS will not allow you to resize widgets unless they are on system launcher.
Open titanium backup ; on backup and restore find tribuchet and long press it to open option dialouge box and then press on make it system app.
You can do from root explorer also but idk how to do that .

I'll be more than happy just by having the Trebuchet launcher along with the stock ICS battery icon... Btw what trebuchet version did you used is there a specific one.
I'd also be curious in how to replace Touchwiz with Trebuchet. I looked in Titanium Backup and was able to find TwLauncher 4.0.3-TLLE4 but I'm unsure as to where to download Trebuchet from. Can anyone help out?

yes . Dont remove touch wiz all samsung roms are based on that , if you remove it you might get system problems . You can keep both and use trebuchet as default. I am using version 0.1

DL the CM9 ROM,extract it.
Go to system/app,the find trebuchet and install it.However,you still will end up rebooting if trying to add a widget.For me,golauncher is working well with stock,and widgets.
I also installed the desk clock,mms apk,the launcher from the cm9.
As well as gallery2.just simple as installing apk's.

Titanium Backup will do that for you..just make sure you always restore with app and data.
I think if you're rooted and installed clockworkmod you can always go into
recovery and make a backup first of the whole OS before you start installing other things. :cyclops:

Nova Launcher has such a backup function and it works fine for me when i change my rom.
Just save the config, install the Rom which ever you want, install your apps which belongs to the icon desin and widgets, then restore the nova launcher settings.
Thats it!
nova launcher setting will store on sd card?
Okay, so I've been running Codename Android, which comes with Trebuchet (I believe v.02) as stock launcher. However, I've recently switched to SlimBean which comes with Holo Launcher HD as stock launcher.
I'd love to return to Trebuchet but stick with SlimBean.
I've found Trebuchet v.01 for ICS, but can't find the newer version that Codename runs with.
Any ideas or links for me?
Thanks all!!!
Extract it from the rom on your phone using root explorer or like program.
good day.
Double click on Codename Android's ROM zip file, then go to \system\app\ and find Trebuchet.apk
Haha, of course... thank you both, I did that exact thing. Running fine now.
Of course it didn't incorporate the Trebuchet launcher settings, but I'm using anycut to get to those.
Good to go.
Thanks again!
