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.

[Q] MIUI camera app in cm7

Could someone please explain how to replace the standard cm7 camera app with the camera app from miui?
I'd be very grateful cheers.
David
you need to use root explorer or something similar. Copy the file over to where your camera.apk is and change the permission of the miui.apk to the same as the camera.apk.
Or if you have god mode on your rom, make it read write before you do this
with root explorer, put .apk in the /system/app and change his permission fot the same you have in camera.apk (just look what permissions it have and set miui as the same way).

Does he also has to rename the camera.apk to camera.apk.bak or he can just have both appls?
Also when I add the miui camera, I rebooted the phone in order to see the icon in app drawer

how to replace the samsung launcher with some other launcher ..i tried it with titanium but need pro version .Is der some other method??
thanx
Install your 'some other launcher' and then uninstall touchwiz from titanium backup...
Download another launcher of your preference. click home button there should be an option making you choose between Samsung home and the launcher u downloaded.
Titanium suck! Use root explorer

Make it the same as the perms of default launcher then delete the old launcher. Or I think that''s how you do it.

Nope, that method possibly won't work for Launchers.I tried once with launcher7, replacing it with the default launcher. Forgot to backup, had to reflash . But I changed the notification bar using that method.

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?

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!

Trebuchet launcher for Stock ROM?

Hello!
Is there a way I can get an updated Trebuchet launcher?
Basically, I'm going from CM to Stock, and I really would like to hide icons in my launcher. Yes, that's the only reason why I need this.
I've tried Nova, apex, etc. But they all lag.
Thanks!
try simply pulling the trebuchet apk from a cm zip and install like a regular app or copy/paste the apk into /system/apps and change permissions on it to rw-r--r-- and reboot
just make sure the android versions are the same (use a 4.2.2 cm rom for 4.2.2 stock, a 4.3 cm rom for 4.3 stock, etc)

+1, but better install as a system app (/system/app). To get it without having to reboot, put the APK in /system first, modify its permission to rw-r--r-- (0644), and move it to /system/app after that. The phone will lag for a second and then Trebuchet is ready as soon as you press Home.

When you say fix permissions, can I do it by going into TWRP and clicking 'Fix Permissions'?
Yes, you can.
Thanks bro!
