I have a question, im on stock rom dxlc1 and.. i wanna change my messaging app to GoSMS app.
Messaging.apk to Gosms.apk
Also the launcher too. TouchwizLauncher.apk to GoLauncherEx.Apk ??
Like i replace it. it is possible?
What do you mean seperately?
i just want to replace the stock one. can i ?
you can install them as usual then set them as default app. done. you don't need to push them into system. if you want to add them as system app you can use root explorer, copy the apk to /system/app, change the permission to rw-r--r--, reboot. make sure that you have rooted your phone and you have enough memory space before doing this.
So ican change my stock messaging app to go sms app like a default app? ang my launcher too? Thanks! do i need to rename it? Wait, when im asked to replace the current apk. i tap yes??
yes but requires root
ok... for this purpose you need to download an app called link2sd..
first, you must root your phone...
then install link2sd and grant ir SU permissions
once done open link to sd and search for your app (GoSmsPro or launcher)
tap on it..
go to actions-->make system app..
then search for your default android home app..
make it user app and uninstall it
same with gosmspro and you are done
Use ROM Toolbox
You can use ROM Toolbox Pro and uninstall the required all and make your app as the System App.. so it gets pushed as a System App

Do not replace the system apks..
just press home button, It'll ask you which app to use.. check on use always/default(dont remember exactly ) and tap on go launcher.
For messenger simply tap the messenger icon on ur home screen and do the same.. else u can use the alternative sms app to silent the native one..
No need to remove the apps, Please keep them as they might come in handy once you decide to remove the launcher and msg apps or they just get screwed.

if you replace the TouchWizLauncher.apk to GoLauncher.apk it's just the same...
when you press the Task Manager then they can see Go Launcher in Active application section, not like TouchWiz ... it doesn't show you to the active application...
Better install it normally ...
hope you understand what i mean & sorry broken english coz i'm Indonesian...

if you can hide the Go Launcher from the Task Manager (Active application tab) it would be nice...

Well i cant freeze the launcher..
Well my phone is rooted..
it doesn't matter if your launcher is stock or not. the app will be loaded in ram as 'active app'. if you don't use it for a while it will dissapear automaticly and stored in ram's cache. don't freeze you twlauncher if you doesn't have other launcher in /system/app. your rom may not work if you wipe your /data.
just see to it that when you freeze the default launcher,
you don't forget to enable your secondary launcher first

Check for the update to 0.8.4.1 - there was a bugfix for various widget-based FC's.
I had the Facebook Widget problem, it took years to update/refresh my facebook to the latest status. I dont set auto refresh as I worry it will eat up my data and battery. Anyone knows the solution?

Try clearing the application data of "Storage Calendar"!
I also have a problem with Launcher Pro, didn't wanna start a new thread..
It doesn't save the settings when I restart it. For example, I change the number of homescreens or the animation when switching them, and the next time I run LP (restart in menu / kill app and restart / reboot etc.) it's back to default.
I also can't keep LP Plus activated.. I enter the code, it says it's activated, I can add the LP Widgets..but after restart, it's locked again..
Help?
Tried clearing the data but even that didn't work!
So confusing and the developer didn't answer to the emails I sent!

Force close LP. Then with Root Explorer or Super Manager delete the following folder: /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher
(Might work for OP too...)
Not storing settings: delete /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher directory using Root Explorer (or adb).
Thanks a lot guys!
I was previously trying to delete that with Astro, but nothing would show in databases folder. Works like a charm with Root Explorer.
Hey guys still waiting for an answer regarding the calander widget crash...

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

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 ...

Hi!
Is there any way to replace the original sony launcher with a custom one? Personally i want to use Themer Beta. Anybody did this before? Is it even possible with Themer Beta? I'm on .757
The reason i want to do it is because after i unlock my lockscreen the original launchers background appears for a flash. I'ts pretty annoying. Beside that i think the original launcher is always in memory (i wonder if this is the case?) which is a waste in my opinion.
Thank you for your answers
I don't really know but I think it shouldn't be a problem. Why don't you try it? In case you don't have any launcher anymore, you can always push the original launcher back through adb or recovery.
You could try freezing the Sony launcher first instead of deleting it for good.

yea, try freezing it first using titanium backup then replace the launcher with themer beta using root explorer..
I'm curious to know how this goes, as I'm unwillingly to try this myself (my daily driver)
I use a different launcher... Just installed it and made it default... No issues found (for some things u need to be root)

I used Titanium Backup to backup the app, than uninstall it. After that i used the "convert to system app" function to move my launcher to /system. It is working fine.
Freeze the Xperia launcher with titanium backup or some other such app. Won't bother ya anymore.
