How to install Holo Launcher HD to system? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I want use the "add widgets" feature from the drawer but it says it needs to be installed to system. Any suggestions or help?

Just like any other app you want to turn into a system app. There are apps which can move it to the system app folder for you "/system/app mover" is one which is on google play. Or you can just move the APK with a root file explorer and then change the permissions to match the other APKs already in that folder then reboot. Any method to turn an app into a system app will require root in case you didn't know that.

Use Titanium Backup Pro and convert it to a system app that way. Requires root, but cmon if your not rooted why are you even here lol

I am rooted, just stock rom lol. The APK thing was the thing I forgot about thanks guys

It's nothing to do with LP I don't think. In the /system/customize/MNS folder is a file called default.xml which has all the default settings. I don't know if this applies to just the stock Launcher mind
I'll check it out. Thanks

I'm pretty sure it is a TW calender.....are you running a TW rom? I'm guessing not because you'd probably have that calender already. If you are running AOSP I don't believe you can get that calender to work.

It has to be installed as a system app.
Guess I'll have to search how to do that. I've tried pushing that file to my system app file with es explorer but no luck on it working

I'm finding a lot of apps I liked aren't working. or won't install. Not sure if blazer 1.7 is tw but that'd be a good reason

It must be something else, cuz when I was rooted stock I couldn't install any app, not even thru ADB, hopefully someone knows the issue.
I gave up on it. But with paranoid you can change the layout of each app. I changed it to 600px and now its big and looks just like the one I was trying to get.. so it works out in my scenario

Once again Blazer is TW, Paranoid would be AOSP. So I don't think you can get that calender app working on there.....
Touchwiz apps will not work on AOSP ROMS without tweaking. Touchwiz has its own framework required to run its apps. If you are trying to install this on a touchwiz rom, use rootexplorer, copy the app, move to /system/app, mount as "rw" and install, then long press the app, change permissions to rw,r,r

Don't know if you're using gmail or just email but this link shows how to change email to black
If Gmail, there are some nice Inverted 4.2.1 gmail apks out there... I've used Rujelus22 and DarkHorse Inverted gapps and themed apps... work perfect on Note2. Google search "Rujelus22 inverted gmail" or DarkHorse gmail 4.2.1.... then extract the gmail.apk, fix permissions, push to /system/app folder. Be sure to rename old apks in /data/app and or in /system/app folders prior to push (so you can revert bsck if you want to)

Using Root Explorer or something simlar navigate to:
System/Csc/features.xml
Open the file to edit. Scroll near the bottom to the EMAIL section and change the TRUE to FALSE
That should give you the overview. Backup the features xml to be safe.

Tablet ui xposed framework?

Greetings xda,
Lovin the alliance rom im running, but I want to try the tablet ui. I installed xposed framework but cant seem to find a module that works. I can only get a tablet ui zip which cant install as a apk. Flashing it dousnt work either. Any suggestions?
I really like alliance and I dont want to lose all the sammy features, pa is no option for me.
Thanks in advance!

Yea been there and also couldn't find one either. It seems the mods currently available are meant for the 4.1.1. If you really want the exact same experience as the Note 10.1 then you should try Mini Tab Rom.
Also, this might sound dumb, but try changing the extension of the zip file from .zip to .apk and then try installing.

If you downloaded the tablet apk from the villainrom forum it downloads as a zip just rename it as an apk and install it. Ive attached it as an apk for you

That only changes it to phablet mode but not tablet ui. A tablet mode would mean the status bar would be on the bottom.

In "xposed app settings" (a module you have to install for the "xposed installer".
There you can set app specific settings like resolution.
