Hey guy.
I just want to know if it is possible to remove the ADW Launcher from cm7.2 so I can install another launcher and not have the two installed and running.

Just use root explore and delete adw in /system/app

you need to have another launcher first...
you can push this launcher to /system/app so it shows as a system app, but that's not neccessary.
just make sure you have another working launcher
If he fails, he can always push one with ADB .
I've had the same problem... I uninstalled ADW from CM 7 on XPeria Pro, but now I'm missing the CM settings menu in Android settings... is there a way to make it return or is it gone?

the home switcher app lets you set a diffrent defaut home, even if you have downloaded it off the market
i always do that, take out rosie.apk and put launcherpro.apk into the system\app

That is the exact answer i was looking for. Not a way of switching after install. That's great anyways thanks for taking time to answer both of you.
hey guys,
just a quick question about system apps. im planning to use AOKP soon, but i've heard of apex launcher being a bit smoother then nova.
now i like to keep things minimal, and remove apps that i dont need. i want to make apex a system app and remove nova from the rom.
can i just open up the zip, take nova launcher apk out, and move apex into the system app folder? and re-zip or anything like that.
thanks for any help
You could, or you could just do it with root explorer after you flash the rom.
Seems easier to me anyway.

Yes you can but don't unzip it just use WinRar to explore the archive and remove and added what you want.

Yes, the meta-inf folder is responsible for setting permissions.

Hi all,
I Use CM 7.2 by Phiexz, and i want to remove some default app's.. For example, I use another launcher (nemus), so I would like to remove adw launcher..
Or also the sms app, music app, because I use another one..
It's possible to do that, and how?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english
use apps from play store wich have a sort of UI browsing in system/app , or root explorer and delete .apks in /system/app

You can also delete apps with Titanium Backup or Link2SD...
Ok, thank you very much!

And tw-framework? AFAIK, some stock apps have this dependency.

Hm, well, I saw it in the market, I think I'll give it a go. But I wanted to not use a 3rd party app And both of the modified MMS I found weren't that good...
No, I can't live with Go SMS. Crappy as hell, bloated with things I don't use. I downloaded a customized app for CM7, I'll give it a go. I got it from here, XDA, but forget the thread and stuff. Just searched for "mms cm7" and found it.
Thanks anyway!

Hi,
can seem to find it, is it possible to completely remove and replace default launcher of given mod? ie trebuchet in CM9?
u can use another launcher as default so u dont c trecuchet at all but if u wanna remove the app completely then i assume u shall put the other desired launcher in the system/app to make sure ur system wont crash if smthn goes wrong in the data partition

it doesn't reply at all, is it possible to replace default launcher or not?
Yes. You just need to install another launcher and set it as default.
Download the apk of the launcher you want to use as the replacement
Go to /system/app
Remove the Rom's Launcher. EX: CM9-10/Trebuchet, MIUI/MIUI Home
Add the apk you downloaded earlier, set permissions for that apk to rw-r-r
Reboot and enjoy
And if you're just asking if it would crash the rom or not...........Then No, it won't crash or mess up anything

At the apk press and hold until the options pop up and than choose permissions then check the box like a inverted L.
