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

I cannot seem to figure out how to uninstall launcher pro. i tried going to the market to uninstall and everything but there is just nothing there, it just asks me to install. anyone know how i can remove this?
D/L another launcher from the market, install it.
Uninstall LP via Root Explorer delete of LP files, reboot, utilize new launcher.
Home Switcher anyone? get that, switch to default launcher, uninstall LP from Android Market

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
I feel like an idiot for asking this question but can i uninstall Xperia Home and have Nova Launcher be my only launcher?
Also are there any losses from doing this and any other bloatware used in this package?
Thanks In Advance! :good: :fingers-crossed:
If you have root, yes. Just make sure to install the new launcher BEFORE removing the stock launcher. To remove the stock launcher, delete it from /system/app/ or just uninstall it with TitaniumBackup

Be sure to make a Titanium backup first....would suck if you uninstalled it and didn't have a backup just incase and had to reflash to stock.

Yeah i did. All done. Anyone know an app to move to system? Or do i move it from data/app/ to system/app/ ????
I've done that actually. It really don't matter where u hav the launcher in. As long as u hav another launcher u can use it as a replacement.

Is there a way to get the stock Jellybean launcher on Codenameandroid ROM. I find the stock launcher to still be the smoothest, and i dont really feel like i need any additional Launcher features.
grab Launcher2.apk from /system/app from a stock rom. push it to your device. mount /system readwrite, copy Launcher2.apk to /system/app. reboot, done.

there's no need to install it. that's what you've done when you pushed the file over to /system/app.

Install stock launcher apk, then uninstall nova either thru titanium backup or delete thru system/app using a file explorer
Edit: and don't forget to reboot after removing nova

Download any deodexed stock rom and open up the zip and get \system\app\Launcher2.apk. It's as easy as that . If you want to remove a launcher, open up the .zip and just delete it before even flashing the rom (though make sure you replace it with another). You can usually add/remove apk's from the rom .zips before you flash all you want as long as you do not force md5 checks when flashing (well, as long as you don't remove any essential apks).
MD5 check before changing apks
Do check for MD5 before changing apks, so that you know nothing else is different except the changes you made.
Simple way

You don't have to use other aps to get ride of it. Just delete some chache and data of Nova, reset nova setting, then you can uninstall it, forever from your smartphone. As simple as simple it self
