Move the apk for the app from data/app to system/app and set permissions to match the other apps in the folder. I'd recommend using Astro or File Manager (both free from the market) to do the move and set the permissions. After setting the permissions reboot your phone. That should fix it.

Hi,
I was wondering, is it possible to uninstall the Android stock keyboard on my cell (CM7) with "Root uninstaller"?
That's pretty large, 11MB, and I'm using SwiftKey... So that could be great.
Thanks!

If you want to replace ADW, yes its possible and basicly recommended since CM uses old build of ADW, even tough its made for system use. But yes its possible. And its recommended to do it the way I have done it.
1) get Titanium backup from market, free version will do just fine
2) get an app that can browse root and set permissions (Root browser free recommended)
3) get the launcher APK you want to replace ADW with, it can be old version, market will update it to the latest.
Once you have all these
1) Rename your desired launcher "Launcher.apk"
2) Copy it to system/app
3) Set its permissions to match this
Code:
Read Write Execute
Owner X X X
Group X
Others X
4) Reboot phone
5) after reboot press home and choose your desired launcher
6) delete ADWlauncher via Titanium backup (Also any other app can be removed using TB, default keyboard for example)
Hope you get your desired launcher
Replaced mine with MIUI ADW Launcher btw
I just installed Go Launcher, and removed ADW with root uninstaller.
Working great.

yes why not... but make sure to have nand baskup whenever you do anything like that...
it can be done with dialer, msg app, keyboard, stock browser, launcher or anything like that... just install new one, make it deafult, set it up, try it few days and see if it crashes or bugs, if not, just uninstall with root uninstaller what is no more needed

Use an app called Root Uninstaller and uninstall it from there.
Or
Use Root Explorer to remove ADWlauncher.apk from system/app
But seriously, there is an almost same thread right below this one which has the answer.

You can use the System App Remover to remove the aps that you don want. But be careful as it deletes system app as well.. so make sure you install an alternate launcher before removing t=ADW

You are not supposed to install the application, just copy and paste, then change permissions, and reboot and you will be able to use the widget.

Sounds like he isn't installing it but in fact doing it the way you suggest. OP, have you tried changing owner to root (both settings)?
Root explorer: long press app in system/app -> scroll down to change owner-> change both to root -> reboot.

never thought about that just changed them to root,
set permissions, reboot, but still not showing.
Also, fixing permissions in CWM should do this for you ...
The other thing, What is the widget, from what phone/ROM , know you said Stock weather, but if it is stock GB weather,
I am sure it relies on the GB TW-framework for the TWlaucher as the stock widget from samsung phones is a TW widget .....
Some widgets rely on framework or launcher items, and may not work on every phone/launcher ...

Hey veeman
I've been trying this method and its sez "Cannot locate apk file". So I manually removed the apk from data/app with root explorer, tried changing the R/W permissions and then attempted the Ti procedure and what not. Apex simply doesn't want to leave the phone..
Any ideas on what I should be doing next?
Thanks

If the app came preinstalled with your rom, it's going to be in /system/app
Navigate to /system/app/ with root explorer and just delete the apk for Apex launcher and then reboot.

That's what ticks me off. It's not there in system/app.
All that's there is launcher 2 and i believe thats the touchwiz apk. The only com.anddoes.launcher apk is at data/app.
Ok..Fixed that issue now. Thanks a lot veeman

Just flashed [ROM] 13/9] Eragon v.2.0 | Android 5.1 and tried uninstalling nova launcher but every time the phone crashes and i have to perform a factory reset.
You really want to uninstall it or use different launcher? Simply install different launcher it will let you choose to not use nova launcher.

i dont know why nova prime dont work for you.. lol
for me its fine.
you dont need to uninstall nova launcher for prime.. the nova prime app is only a key for nova launcher..
just download prime from playstore and it will work..
if you really want to uninstall nova launcher from system and you want to reinstall it again do this:
1. download another launcher like apex. (thats why your system crash, because if you remove nova there is no launcher in rom and nothing to display)
1. with a root explorer browse to system/priv-app
2. delete the nova folder.
3. reboot
4. download nova from playstore.
5. remove apex by uninstall it.
6. done
