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

Dont remove touch wiz . Just make trebuchet default . Look into google for trebuchet.apk.

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.

Hello, guys!
I managed to mod an application to have a transparent background and it worked just fine, so I decided to share it with you.
This is the new News and Weather Widget from Google that works on Froyo and above on every ROM and every device. It has some new features such as displaying more information on the weather by clicking on the weather icon within the app (as you can see in the first picture) and a cool cerulean highlight effect when pressing on the widget.
Since 1.3.11 from Jelly Bean, it was updated to improve freshness and power consumption.
*UPDATE*
Updated GenieWidget to 1.3.11 from Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Now you can choose between 2 glow colors when pressing on the widget on the home screen: ORIGINAL BLUE or MIUI ORANGE!
Thanks to c3k for providing the Jelly Bean apk and to YOU FOR DOWNLOADING IT MORE THAN 10000 TIMES! I started sharing it just for fun, how could I've ever expected it? Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
*INSTRUCTIONS*
Uninstall any previous version, if any (if it's a system apk, remove it using Root Explorer or any equivalent apk);
Download the version you desire (BLUE glow or MIUI glow);
Push it to /system/app with adb, or just copy it to your sdcard and install it as a regular apk;
Enjoy!
*TROUBLESHOOTING*
Having troubles or force closes? Please, remember that this is just a mod, I'm not the author of the original apk, so make sure your problems are coming from my mods *only* before asking! If you can't see anything wrong with an original GenieWidget version, please uninstall GenieWidget, reboot to recovery, clear caches, reboot and try installing it again.
*CHANGELOG*
11-15-2011: Initial mod from ICS 4.0.0;
02-07-2012: Updated mod to 1.3.04, from ICS 4.0.3 which now includes ICS themed tabs and minor graphical changes overall. It also supports HD resolutions (e.g. Galaxy Nexus);
07-23-2012: Updated to 1.3.11 from JB 4.1; added MIUI variant; removed ICS versions.
06-15-2016: Discontinuing project since Google stopped supporting GenieWidget.
Thanks Works Great!!

UPD: This isn't bug of this app, this is bug of cyanogemod. Because the same error in some another app, that connect to internet (Beautifull Widget - when search theme, etc)
thanks! looks great.
Hi im running onecosmic's port of ics on my i9000.
I couldnt find any options to set my widgets to transparent.
So im wondering if its ok for me to install this apk, assuming this apk was meant for froyo and gingerbread.
Edit:
Ive mistaken this for an ability to make all the widgets in ics to go transparent.
Is there a way to do this??

That would simplify everyone's life, but backgrounds are built-in in the apks and need to be edited and 9patched, or decompiled, edited, recompiled and signed again. That's no job for a launcher, unfortunately.
*sigh*
But thanks for the link and comments

If that's a system apk, you can't just uninstall it. You have to remove it manually: use Root Explorer or any equivalent app and make sure /system is set as R/W. You'll find that in /system/app.
It is a system App.
Sounds like I need to root first, install root explorer, find and remove it and then install the transparent APK?

You don't install it. You push it to system/app directory with root explorer. Then reboot and then you will have that launcher as an option unless you already set one as a default. Then go into that launcher in manage applications and clear defaults.
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.

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

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!

So when I downloaded the new update for Apex Launcher it keeps on crashing and it crashed ALL the system's apps
My friend has also an S2 and he downloded the same update from the same website, but it didn't do all the problems that happened to me.
I am running Resurrection Remix ICS V.2.4.1 same as my friend but the problem happened with me only !!!!!!!
Please help me, as now I can't retreive any of my apps and when i try to go to the settings to clear the apps cache, an application from NOWHERE crashes and I don't Know what to do
When you have made a backup you can restore it I suppose. You can try that and Reinstall Apex after that.

FIXED Flash-able .zip: here
What is fixed:
rotation!
I used sample.zip file that I didn't modify and maybe that's why the launcher didn't work with rotation so I modified files from META-INF folder and now it flashes it correctly and rotates correctly too.
Hope you like this!
You might want to make that file available to the public, unless you want to give permission to bunches of folks.

First of all thanks for this mod, but I'm facing a problem when screen is rotated. Toggles are messed up in Xylon ROM 0081 (s. Screens / attachment).
Also the flashable ZIP did not work. CWM 6.0.1.9 flashed it successfully but it was still the original launcher2.apk, even when I renamed the original one to .apkold, the modded apk wasn't there when I flashed the zip. So I installed ithe apk to data first, copied it to system and adjusted permissions.
I just wonder if Xylon is Odexed... Gonna check that next. If it is, is there a way to make it work?

I don't know nothing about the custom ROM "Xylon" the launcher is for stock ROMs and for ROMs what does not have modified system apps and modified framework-res.apk....
You can try to flash it by wiping cache and dalvik cache and then flash the launcher.
You can also try the ADB way if that works better.
I messed my nexus up by trying to theme framework-res.apk and when I flashed my ROM again and this launcher then now it does not rotate... I don't know why.. but before it worked..
flash-able zip is fixed now..
Works good with MMuzzys Toroplus ROM
The new ZIP is working now and on Paranoid Android launcher rotation is working thanks to you. Toggles not messed up beyond repair. Still wondering about issue with Xylon rom, as it uses the stock launcher by default... But I still don't know if and how much it was modded.

Hi, thanks so much for this, I needed it because of a custom car dock and I don't want to install car dock apps when they're just unnecessary bloatware.
Is there any way to rotate the lock screen, too, or is that something entirely different? It would be most helpful. Not a fan of pattern lock sideways (but obviously, I can make do!).

To enable lock screen rotation you must modify framework-res.apk
