Hit "Thanks" if I helped you
thanks for the file man but I'm having trouble installing it, I put it at sdcard then into /system folder, then changed permission and move to system/app/ then reboot. still not showing in home switcher. I even click on it and pressed 'install' but showing 'application not installed'. any other way to do it?

Rather then moving and setting permissions, why not just try to install like a normal app?
Tried just now and still no luck, I guess i'll have to stick w/ launcher pro then.

If both doesn't work, then you have final choice is to flash using SEUS. Make sure you backup your stuff before proceeding.

Are you shure that permissions were set right? Also, maybe SE home was "installed" but just not showing in home switcher (as I understood it is a third paty aplication?).
Maybe try to delete the default settings for launcher pro and then press home button. The dialog to chose home screen should appear.
the original app is called home.apk perhaps it needs to be called that?

Sorry to hijack this thread. But could a nice person please upload the talk.apk? I REALLY need it very fast.
TY in advance

I have installed several versions of CM7 and my only problem is the gallery. it really takes time to load. I have tried Forced Stop, Restart, and Did the Go Back procedure, same problem.
Wonder how I can fix it.
Did i miss anything?
you might need some script things as i am on custom stock using turboBoost by GadgetCheck+Sladimod3 and galley open faster than quickpic[reported as faster by users here]

1) Use root explorer (or any same kind of app)
2) go to data/app
3) Copy quickpic's apk file (Hint- take a look at the icons of the apk's, you'll easily understand which one is quickpic's file)
4) Paste it to system/app
5) Set permissions to
RW-
R--
R--
6) Exit from root explorer
7) Go to settings-> apps -> manage apps -> QUICKPIC -> uninstall
8) Reboot and enjoy

Hello
I was wondering if anyone could help me. Im using awd lancher and installed an antteck app manager and froze a moto app by mistake, the phone got in to a force close loop which even a restart couldnt fix. I managed to uninstall the app by grabbing time between the forced closes.
Now it says " this is not a motoblur device" when I try to use the moto default home launcher.
I have reinstalled the antteck app which shows no frozen apps.
Would a reset to factory work? My concern is if there is no ADW launcher and motoblur is still not working my phone will not work.

Thanks for any help

Which app? The one you froze?

No, a factory reset just wipes the data partition.
A possible solution
If you know how to use ADB, and know where to acquire the ADW.Launcher APK, then you could do this:
NOTE: You may need root to do this. I have no idea, actually.
Copy ADW.Launcher to your ADB folder and rename it to launcher.apk to make things easier later.
Open Command Prompt, and CD to your ADB folder.
Type "adb remount" to mount /system as writeable.
Type "adb push launcher.apk /system/app.
You could possibly get away with pushing it to /data/app, but I've never tried pushing to /data before.
The app I uninstalled was the antteck app manager used to freeze the app.
I cant remember exactly which app I froze. It was one from a list of apps safe to freeze I found on the XDA forum, it wasnt safe. It may well have been the moto home launcher as I was trying to free up ram for the webtop.
I get the problem when I use home switcher to try to launch the original home rather than ADW
I no longer see the moto home launcher in the app list on the app manager.
I could try flashing with the sbf, but being a noob im not ready to do that unless all else fails.
Any help gratefully received

I just renamed blurhome.apk_fro to blurhome.apk in the system/app folder using root explorer and all has been fixed. It would seem that although I reinstalled the antteck app manager it doesn't search for previous frozen items. It also didn't show up in titanium backup either that can be used to freeze apps, not a criticism just an observation.
Thanks for all the help

Glad you learnt something new. =D
And you should find the "safe" list you referred to and tell them its actually NOT safe.
Ill look for the list later...although it might have been a of stupidity and not on the list at all, I tend to do these things late at night
Since a week or 4 i got my TP i'm using APEX launcher for now.
And thought i could remove the stock launcher.
i think APEX is good but i wanna go back to Stock.
But there doesn't seem to be a way to install the stock launcher.
i somehow totally forgot to back it up.
I downloaded the stock launcher from a site and tried moving it to the system/app Chmod it rebooted and stil it doesn't work.
Tried it wit adb also no success.
Can someone help me?
Did you try installing the .apk? As far as I know that should work....
if you have the default file manager that goes with the prime, go to the root directory (when in sdcard, tap on the folder with an arrow next to it.) Then press the options button (the button on the very top right corner of the screen) and uncheck hide system files. Then you can see a folder called system. Open it, then app. Then find Launcher2.apk and install it.

Have you tried moving the launcher apk to /system/app directory then fix permissions ? You don't have to have cwm recovery installed , just rom manager . Install rom manager then select fix permissions and reboot , worked for me when I installed apex as system app should also work for installing any other launcher or least I assume.

Thanx for the advice i tried it but it didn't fix my problem.
Maybe someone could upload the launcher2.apk and the .odex from the .15 ww version.
Maybe the one 1 downloaded isn't the right one.
Thanks in advanced.
If i do a factory reset will it put all apps including stock launcher back?
Thanx in advance.
I fixed it.
I was pretty desperate but i fixed it.
For everyone who is as stupid as i was:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518462
Download the file of above link.
Extract it >> go to system/app in the extracted folder
Copy Launcher2.apk and the Launcher2.odex
Paste them in the system/app/ of your prime.
Then use ROM manager to fix permissions. Like shreddintyres said.
Reboot and then it should work. It did for me.
Thanks everyone for the help.
Hi, can you please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?
You see, using Root Explorer, I was able to remove the browser.apk (by moving to sd card) from /system/app, then got a quickics.apk, renamed it as browser.apk, then placed it unto /system/app, then changed the permission accordingly...
When I rebooted the phone, Android Starting App occurs but when I tap it to open, it force closes on me...
What am I doing wrong? or for that matter, is what I did or intention possible?

yes.. I am on ICS custom rom.. i just happen to like the quick ics browser more than the browser included in the custom rom.. thus I did that...
when I just left the stock browser and installed quick, there was no problem.. the problem just occurred when I tried replacing the stock browser...
i know this is not really "life or death" for me but for some reason, it just bothers me to have an app in my app list that I do not use... hehehe
Buddy dont replace the browser.apk just delete it and put quickics.apk on system/app with proper permission. Restart your device.hope it will work

No just copy it, fix permissions in root explorer and reboot. But don't rename it to browser.apk. Reboot and normally it should work?!
Hmm okay that's strange, are you using the latest version? Maybe delete it again, download it from playstore, install it and make it to a system app using titanium backup (there should be an option on titanium backup if the app is installed). Look if that maybe solves the problem
You should not replace the stock android browser.apk as it is integrated into the system and removing it or replacing it will probably result in force closures and your system might become unstable.
Just add the quickics.apk reboot into clockworkmod and select advanced and select fix permissions. No need to change permissions via root explorer if you have clockworkmod.
And Press thanks if I've helped you!

not working on both accounts... still having FC...
i am giving thanks to all those who replied to me though...
If it works as a non system app in your phone then it should work perfectly normal as a system app provided the permissions are set right and the stock browser isn't removed . I don't know where you are going wrong
Just to be correct about the permission part, The permission has to be set as ,
User rw-
Group r--
Others r--

Hi, I have a problem with my Xperia U (rooted)
I've been trying to replace the Camera app, and after reboot, on the "Android is upgrading" screen it showed 150 apps updated; and then I could use none of the system apps. I looked for them in the /system/app and they were there, i just couldn't use them. Right now I'm using a launcher that I installed before. Also, I don't have network.
Anyone who has an idea how to solve it is welcome
