Guest Lew247 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I did use the search before anyone suggests it and while the answer "may" be there it isn't coming up. If I want to is it possible to replace the default launcher in a rom with launcher pro? if so what do I need to replace and with what I want to have launcher pro as the only launcher inside a rom instead of the stock one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Swimmerboy Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Alternatively, if you've already flashed and have adb setup and wanted to replace Launcher2 with the apk located in: c:\apks\org.adw.launcher.apk: Adb remount adb shell cd /system/app rm Launcher2.apk <Ctrl-C> adb push c:\apks\org.adw.launcher.apk /system/app <edit> oops, typo Edited January 20, 2011 by Swimmerboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest targetbsp Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I presume then that you can also use Titanium Backup the same way you would remove the pre-installed Orange crap? I've removed all sorts of stuff that way but I've never dared remove the stock launcher... yet. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swimmerboy Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 should read /system/app You're right - damn my fat fingers! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maringer Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I replaced the stock Launcher with Launcher Pro the easy/lazy way. I installed Launcher Pro, rebooted the phone and selected LP as my preferred Launcher when the option popped up after reboot! Using JJ8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lew247 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I want to install it as the default launcher in a rom update to send the kids next time 2.2 gets updated They live 300-3000 miles away so it's simpler for me to sort out a rom, do any changes I want to it and then put whatever theme changes need doing and then just give them a download link to flash the rom itself with nothing else to do apart from sign into google If I remove launcher2.apk from the rom do I just simply replace it with the launcherpro.apk, or do I have to rename the launcher pro app to launcher2.apk first?

Guest fonix232 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Anyone about a solution of making a launcher default, when I have more? I want to keep the stock one, as it has the backgrounds, but nothing more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest womble_sanfran Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Is it wise to remove the stock launcher? Isnt it the only way you can change the lockscreen wallpaper? I use launcher pro but need to switch to the stock launcher whenever I want to change the lockscreen wallpaper as there is no option to change it in launcher pro.

Guest Lew247 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I "thought" the lock screen wallpaper was in the framework-res.apk? or is that the default wallpaper and not the lock one? or are they both the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
