I need some help into cooking Launcher Pro Plus into CM6. I bought and installed it to my current CM6 test5 from koush and it runs really,really good. Best one yet. I understand that it works great, as is, but I'd like to cook it in and take ADW Launcher out.
I know I would need to do much more than just switching out apk's. What other files would I have to modify for cooking it in?
Would it be much easier for me to push,pull, and modify a few files from my current ROM?
I just want it installed as my main launcher in system. The PLUS version is a paid app so I'm sure I won't be the only one asking how to do this.
7 zip works.

Wouldnt it be as easy as deleting ADW and the just pushing Launcher Pro to /system/
Don't really think you need to do anything else.

Heh. Well that's what i'm trying to find out. I thought I would have to modify more files to instruct the install process or 2.2 to look for Launcher Pro Plus, instead of ADW.
I'm a noob so I don't know.

Nope. Any file manager will do fine.

Ok. Thanks. Didn't think it would be that simple. I'll pull the ADW apk from test5 zip and replace with LauncherPro Plus apk.
**UPDATE** Worked! easy.

You can have multiple launchers on your phone. If you put LauncherPro and others on your phone. If you have more then one installed at first it will ask you when your first boot your phone to select which one you want to run. It also has an option to set as default, meaning that is the default launcher that will always go to. If you don't set a default, every time you press the home key it will ask you which launcher to run. If you set a default and later want to change it to another launcher, go to settings>applications>choose the current default launcher and select clear defaults. Then it will go back to asking what you want to launch when you press the home key and you can choose a new default.
homeswitcher is an app in the market that lets u manage your launchers...very easy, great app!

Why not just remove ADW through root and reinstall LauncherProPlus from Titanium Backup? Provided you already have a version saved on there?
So... you're going to put one of t
he few paid apps that deserves a couple if bucks in a publicly available download?
Edit: nevermind, my noobness didn't read the post more carefully. My apologies.

Hi all, just wanted to know if it's possible to flash or install Timescape and the stock gallery/media widgets into a custom ROM? I'm using Fasty ROM(stock-based, really cool and smooth btw) and i like those widgets. I do have the .zip files that came with the Acronium ROM, but I don't know if they would work.

If i had another system backup, will it overwrite it? I don't want a whole bunch of space on backups on my SD card..

If you take backups in CWM it won't.
You can delete them in /sdcard/clockwork/backup, but watch out if you delete the right backup.
Note that many of the stock SE widgets (music, weather, Timescape, etc.) only work with the SE Launcher and won't appear in the widget list on other launchers (I tried ADW and Zeam and they aren't in the list).

Yeah I know I use the stock launcher. It's really smooth in this ROM and with DooMLord's kernel it's even smoother.
I just tried to install the SGS2 clock widget and also the Weather widget, but when I tried installing them i kept on getting this message:"Application not installed". I then tried moving it to system/app and it couldn't be moved. Any suggestions?
What did you uss to try to move it? You neex something like root explorer and click the upper corner to change it r/w.

I don't have root explorer, I really don't want to pay for it. Is there anything else I can use?

ES file explorer. Then go to the bottom of the settings and enable root explorer and system mount options.

Ok, so I moved the two apk's to system/app and when I went to widgets, none of the two widgets appeared. I then rebooted my phone but it still didn't show up.

If it is a Samsung Touchwiz app then forget it. You are on an AOSP ROM.

Have you looked at Beautiful Widgets on the market? It's skinable, super customizable, and has a clock/weather widget that is similar to what you are describing.

Hi Guys.
Is it possible to use the original android launcher for the Galaxy S2 (ICS 4.0.3.)? If so, where can I get it?
Now TouchWiz is installed and tells me not at all.
Thanks to all

yes, and if it does not work after that, try to reboot your phone
Alternatively, you could just download the Nova Launcher from the market. It's also based on the AOSP Launcher, but more customizable. You can make it look and behave just like the stock launcher, though.
It feels a bit more polished than Trebuchet to me ATM.
I found ApexLauncher on Play Store. A little bit better as nova

afaik none of the three support folders or tabs (to emulate new pages in TW) in app drawer, so TW still has some use
Hello guys,
I tried apex and nova .. not bad, but not allow you to create folders in the app drawer: (
Unfortunately this is a big problem .. I prefer the theme golauncher ics (golauncher is free but the theme costs about 1.50 €).

Is there any way to transfer over the tw launcher used in the last few beta roms? I really liked the transition effect of it.

On the official ICS with nova all samsung widgets work like a charm...
I want to back that up for when I do full wipes, to keep icon location/folder location...
Would be nice if I could keep my notification set to what I had them set to.. but that is not really an issue and is faster to do... setting up my folder takes awhile :/
What launcher do you use? Most of them have a backup/restore option. I know Nova does for sure. Just make sure all apps and stuff are installed before restoring. Check in your launcher settings.

Apex will also backup the "desktop", though it may be only in Apex Pro, which is what I use.
Like already said, most aftermarket launchers have backup capabilities...usually found in the settings menu of the launcher.
I use Titanium Backup, and when restoring apps, it will restore your icons and placement as well. Widgets will need to be replaced manually if you have any of them placed on your home screen.

I use TBackup to backup all apps/data. After wipe, restore Holo Launcher with data will put everything back as was.

Buzz launcher remembers without doing anything in settings but you will have to replace your widgets.
