[Q] How to get rid of Nova in AOKP - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys, so I just flashed my first ever ROM today :laugh: and I chose AOKP since I had some issues with CM10. I'm enjoying every minute of it :good:
But my only issue is that I want to uninstall Nova Laucher from my phone, but I can't. I just want to do this so that I can install Nova Prime. I've tried googling some stuff up by I couldn't find anything. So is there a way to remove it or no? Thanks!

Wait. So you have Nova and want to install Nova prime? As far as I know Prime is just the "pro" version. Just go to play store and install prime. You need nova first before you can install Nova prime. Unless I'm missing what your trying to do.

You need both. Nova Prime is the unlocker for Nova Launcher to make it the pro version.

I kinda want to remove it so then I can install the apk I have that has them combined..

Use a root explorer to navigate to /system/app/Novalauncher.APK and delete it from there.

I tried to delete it but I cant delete it because it says its a read-only file

Not sure how you can have one that's combined unless you made it yourself. Nova Prime is a paid app and doesn't come combined. Not sure why you wouldn't want the market version (which is just a key). It will stay updated if you install it from the market.

you dont need to instal it through CWM, just instal it like a regular app. put the app in your download folder.
use polaris or the stock files app to find it.
click it and install.

I've flashed both and went to the All apps tab in Manage Apps, and usually its by my Touchwiz 5.0 theme installed but it wasn't. So I cleared default for Trebuchet, and I pressed the home button and it went back to Trebuchet, it didn't give me an option to select another launcher.

you need to delete trebucket.apk and all live wallpapers and livewalpaper chooser from /system/app and then move apollo music player as a user app to install this.(frees up enough space to install )

Ah that kind of scares me a bit XD. I always think I'm gonna brick my phone from the smallest things. Live wallpapers I can delete because I never use them, except Phase Beam rarely. Its just what if I install the launcher then decide to change it.
Also if I delete Trebuchet, how will I access apps for Root Explorer or something? Or how will I get trebuchet back? Can I just reflash the nightly ROM? Idk I'm just mehh

nova should be installed, but a simple reboot recovery>restore will fix your problems. its worth it
after you uninstall the system apps reboot recovery and flash the tw 5 launcher zip when you reboot itll ask your default launcher
find the videos in system/media/video and delete them

OK just ONE more question, for the TW5, which launcher? The 1st link or 2nd link?
EDIT: Nvm and I finally got my phone Touchwizzy! Sounds lame but...thanks Andy_nu!!!
Now of I can change the icons to Touchwiz, I'm set

I went to flash this and get an error saying that "TouchWiz force closed" and that is all my phone does.

Just rooted my Note 2, now what apps should I get?

Ive already downloaded Titanium Backup Pro and uninstalled all the system apps I wont use. Now I want a app to hide duplicate icons? What other apps do you recommend for a rooted phone?
Advice. . Don't uninstall stuff use the freeze option in titanium back up. And you can hide stuff from touch wiz itself. Go to app drawer and hit the menu and click on hide.
If you have any questions feel free to ask. Just let me know what specifically you want to do

For multiple devices, I use DataSync

It allows you to play one game on your tablet (other device) and continue where you left off on your Note 2
Could someone with the ATT Galaxy Note II please upload the stock Samsung keyboard. I use the stock keyboard on the International Note II, but prefer the one from ATT because it has the symbols & letters on the same keys.

You can also use an ad blocker app; most of them have been removed from the playstore however. I use Adaway and I have never had any problems. You can search google for the apk or stick with Rom toolbox.
It is weird that in Rom TB they dont have it out in the open like they used too...

That's going to be different than other adds, I don't think you are going to be able to stop those with an ad blocker. You will more than likely have to buy it or live with it.
