I really like the Kindle Fire launcher but I don't like how sluggish the whole experience is on stock and so I usually alternate between CM9/10/10.1 and stock, but would there be any way to get full stock launcher running? With the Amazon Silk Browser and book/magazine support?
This was a topic a while ago. From what i read about it, is that they got it to run, but you could not do anything and it was always FC.

Hi guys,
since i will get my DesireZ next week, i am already searching for toys to play with on it
One thing i am wondering and i want to try out is:
1) Will i be able to turn off sense completely WITHOUT ROOTING/Flashing any other rom?? I think i read something, that HTC removed the Stock Android launcher, so.....is it possible to reinstall it by any apk??
2) Same question with Samsungs TouchWiz-Launcher - is there any apk i can install on a NON-ROOTET Z (without flashing) to run TouchWiz on it??
May sound stupid perhaps, but i guess i won´t root the phone the first few weeks, but i like to play around with Themes/Launchers/"Eyecandy", so i was wondering if any of the two points (or both) are possible
Thanks 4 Info,
BigD
You can install another launcher 'On Top' of sense, but Sense will not be removed, and will continue to run in the background. A few popular options are Launcher Pro and ADW (free versions) or Launcher Pro Plus and ADW EX (Paid)
The downside to this is that it will likely slow the device even further (before I rooted my Desire Z, I did notice some lag on the device, likely because of the stock Sense ROM)
Not sure about TouchWiz options, but after my experience with Samsung I avoid it like the plague =P
i know about these 3rd party launchers and that Sense will always run in background (sadly)
But is there a possibility to bring up stock Android launcher??? (APK or something?)
And/or is there a APK wit Touchwiz??
Yes there is an Touchwiz apk, just search the desire forum and youll finde one

Ok, i trust you if you post this here, that the APK will also work on my Z next week
And what about Stock Android Launcher??? (only thing i found until now was "Gingerbread launcher" - but is the stock-launcher really not in the stock Z ROM????)
No the stock Launcher isnt in the stock DZ rom. But u can use Gingerbread Launcher as u said b4 or pull the stock launcher apk from cm6 or any vanilla 2.2 rom
PS: Its another Forum, but there is the Touchwiz apk posted i used for testing on my dz http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/133164-galaxy-s-touchwiz-launcher-enjoy.html
Happily installed the new version of HboGo yesterday (my fire is running twa_priv's "JellyBean ROM using SGT7 enhancements"), but it force closes immediately on startup everytime. Anyone had more success, with this ROM or any others?

The ROM had just been updated, saying it supports HBOGo, maybe upgrade to the newest ROM version, and give it a try again. I am running the same ROM, and I will let you know if it works on mine. (Latest Version
EDIT:
Yeah, it works fine for me.
was wondering if there was a way to install the s beam app for the gs3 rooted running a stock rom. i'm running aopk jelly bean and wanted to have the s beam feature. any ideas what to do?
If you want the stock Samsung apps like S Beam just Odin back to stock. From there root through Odin and as long as you don't flash any apps or anything you'll have a stock rooted ROM with all the S apps.
closest thing to s-beam right now afaik is the regular android beam. s-beam probably won't work on cm/aokp roms as it may be baked into samsungs framework. but then again maybe i'm wrong.
Ok now I'm thoroughly confused by the OP. He first asks if it's possible to have the S apps on a stock rooted ROM. Then it seems he wants it on a CM10 based ROM.
I think it's possible, but either not practical or the CM team has other priorities. When I first flashed CM9 on my SGS3 I was able to keep a few of the TW framework features, but lost them after a few days. No idea the cause or what actually was going in the background since I forgot to make a logcat and it's too late now.

I think he means stock android. I would go by what he says he is running. AOKP

I would highly reccomend an upgrade to an ics-based rom. Gingerbread is....... well, the google apps and Android in general is far better in ICS and Jelly Bean. Is there a certain reason you like CM7?
No I I just tried it when I was looking for a new rom and happened upon it and decided to try it I give it props cuz its pretty nice and I love the added volume control stuffs but that about the only reasons I'm trying to stay with it other than that everything else works the same. Any roms you'd recommend?? Kind a new to Roms and I'm still experimenting. So any advice would be appreciated
