I accidentally uninstalled the stock launcher. Is there a way to reinstall it?
Would a factory reset do?
Would the next update reinstall it?
Many thanks

If you never secondary launcher then you will be in trouble. Because your system cannot launch any thing. If you already installed some thing like Nova launcher then you can install any stock launcher

Actually he can launch apps with GoogleNow, so it is not a big trouble
I do have the secondary launcher. So my nexus 7 is still usable.

What needs to be backed up to restore shortcuts and folders on the launcher?
Anyone? Someone said system UI in another thread but that doesn't work.

Bump. This would really be helpful right now when we are all loading up new Roms every day or two.

I believe you can manually backup the homescreen app. And then you would just restore data.

If you back up the your launcher using titanium when you restore it will restore your folders. I found thus out by accident using one of the modified stock launchers.
The launcher is a system app so will not appear in the batch user backup/restore list. Just click on "filter" and search "launcher"

Is anyone using a different launcher? What S pen features work and what do you lose....?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I'm using Apex, haven't lost a thing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Using Nova, no loss at all.
Using Nova, everything works. The only thing I can note is that the S Pen app doesn't automatically launch after removing the pen any longer. Not sure if that can be restored, but I have not investigated that since I actually like it better this way.
Apex. Only loss is when the Spen is removed the Page Buddy doesnt open automatically and the Spen icon is not displayed in the status bar.

So Apex and Nova, you lose certain S Pen features. And I believe multiview will not work with 3rd party launchers as well.

Incorrect...multiview works perfectly on Nova and I would assume for Apex as well. Pagebuddy doesn't open on 3rd party launchers, but all the apps within Pagebuddy work fine, you just have to open them individually instead of the page automatically opening. No big deal and the advantages of the launchers far outweight that one negative. In my opinion anyway.

That's a shame to hear that Page buddy gets broken.

Totally agree while page buddy doesnt pop up automatically all the functionality is there just put Snote on your desktop and its ready to go. The Soen itself works fine under these launchers

Same thing with Holo. Another mildly annoying thing with Holo is that the exposé-like animation (which shows all your screens and allows you to switch to any one of them without cycling) is slow and choppy.

In my experience nova and apex aren't as smooth as the stock touchwhiz launcher is on this phone. Not saying they are laggy or anything but it is noticeable. I have the paid versions of nova and apex because in general I prefer them, but I've been using touchwhiz with 4x5 mod and perseus kernel and loving it.

TW on this phone is the first stock launcher that I would consider as smooth as Nova...however, the lack of scrolling dock kills it for me. If TW had that, I would definitely stick with it.

I could live with out the scrolling dock, I just want a fully customizable dock..... But still want s pen features... I'm sure there will be ROMs to fix this...

I doubt it since you lose no s pen features with Apex or Nova...those are the two launchers most used by devs when making ROMs.

It works fine for me using The Hybrid ROM. I haven't experienced any trouble with it at all
I'm loving Apex! Everything seems to work fine so far. But why can't I re-size my icons in Apex, even though the option to re-size any icon is selected?
So here is a the RAZR m or I .its a complete fully working widget that rotates and you can be interactive with it all .
Also includes the swipe right to toggles.
Includes weather.read /view messages .set alarm .battery stats .
Also includes all wallpapers

I have just pulled from elsewhere . I have no responsibility for any issues. I did not make this .
Please download zip and install each apk from astro .

Are you using a custom ROM? Circles doesn't work or stock launcher.

This from the play store gives you a working three ringed clock on any launcher/ROM for those who dont want to flash. Been using for months and I am very happy.
Yeah the play store download doesn't have interactive service .
I was on a mission to find this Lol.
It works on most android phones . s3 .note .note 2 my nexus 4...
It uses its own launcher . just install each apk through astro and it works fine.

Don't think so. It comes up with an error, at least it did on Nova. It seems integrated to the launcher.

Did you try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514743
I did try that one but it doesn't have the Google Now integration. I actually use KitKat launcher by Ovidos as its the closest. What I am really trying to do is to actually use the 3 files bit as I said the launcher force closes.

Yes. After you install another launcher, the next time you press Home, Android will ask you which one to use. Select the new launcher and you'll never see TouchWiz again. (but you can go back to it via settings, or simply uninstall the replacement launcher)
