Download stock 5.0.1 launcher? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hey, installed clean rom 4.0 in order to get android Lollipop. It comes with nova launcher but I'd rather have the stock launcher, can you simply install it via an apk file (if so, can someone upload it please?) or do I need to reinstall a fresh rom that has it built in?
Thanks guys!!

what rom are you running?
if stock then thats your problem, this is deodex so you may need to remove the odex file, but have adb ready, casue if you remove it the launcher will crash and you wont be able to do anything
Soryy i forgot to mention its based on teameos Rom
it should work for any rom, just not stock

Are you guys rooted? Custom recovery?
Or 100% stock?
I ask because if you r 100% stock how do u intend on replacing the .apk and .odex files.
Also if you are rooted how about try to rename the .odex to .back and the stock launcher from .apk to .bak
Just spit ballen ideas here, cause its not likely I will be able to get it odex, too time consuming, and I'd rather spend time adding to the launcher.
if.
Sorry guys

I'm 100% stock. Couldn't you just make a regular apk to install it normally? If possible...

No and here's why,
Widgets are loaded from other system apps, along with Google search, and many other things that are inter graded with the launcher. If you ever used nova at the beginning stages you needed root to include the widgets and what not. And my skill level is not high enough to make a launcher from scratch.

Got this working on a rooted ROM. Thanks for this. Stock with both viewing angles, love it, thanks.
Been waiting for a stock launcher with rotate enabled, thanks OP.

For those wanting to try this on 100% stock no rooted,
Try this.
1)Download and install any third party launcher from the market.
2) open the third party launcher at least once,
3) open settings and go to apps
4) find the stock launcher in the all tab and disable it
5)Reboot
6)Then try to install my launcher
7) report back

Unlock, root, flash ROM, benefit. Or if you dont want to root/unlock, then I would say check out another launcher as they will all give you the landscape and portrait modes. And there are apps out there that will let you rotate your stock launcher without rooting but they do cost $$.

(no root 6.3.1) Holo Launcher

Hey guys,
I have attempted sideloading Holo Launcher many times, and it always force closes. Can anyone help me? I am sideloading by uploading to Dropbox and downloading to my Kindle.
Thanks, -x10knight
It may be just be incompatible with the stock rom... I tried it on a jb rom and it works fine.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I find that odd, considering that the stock rom is Android 2.3 and the app is compatible with 2.2 and above.
If you move it to system/app on rooted stock it works

[Q] How do I get original S3 theme back?

So I installed CM10 Nightlies and TBH I really don't like the way it looks and love the way my S3 originally looked. I've looked all around the S3 section and strangely none of the sections have a thread ACTUALLY tell you how to install theme. It usually say "Install theme then flash it." Those aren't good instructions at all. Not to mention I don't know which one to use to restore the theme and look.
Most themes are installed the same way you do a rom. Flash in recovery.

I have found some cm10 themes from play store... you may find an s3 one there

Touchwiz theme
If your using cm10, you could download apex launcher... Pretty sure I've seen a Touchwiz theme for apex. To install. First download apex launcher from play, install. Select apex as launcher over the default trebuchet. Next download touchwiz theme from play, install like any apk. Go to apex settings, theme settings, select touchwiz theme. Otherwise, youll just have to flash a Touchwiz based ROM.
Your on cm10 use the theme engine to change the look of your rom.. you can download a few off the play store and others are here at android > themes

use titanium to freeze touchwiz or just get rid off touchwiz but make sure you have another launcher to not get into other issue
