[Q] Launcher Problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
I current flashed the litening rom and it gives me launcher pro as default launcher
and i removed it by deleting the lancherpro apk file using ROOT EXPLORER as I downloaded the launcherpro plus and tried to install it with astro but it says: application not installed! any idea?

Dodgy apk maybe? Make sure LP is uninstalled correctly in applications.

Did you reboot in between the two tasks? Sometimes it requires a reboot. Also before deleting the original did you make something else as your default launcher (ie TW)?

do u have the standard launcher (tw launcher) still installed?

THanks guys i need to reboot lol peace

Where to get stock Samsung apps?

Hey guys,
I'm running Checkrom v6 which is amazing, but I'm missing two Samsung apps. Namely, Accuweather.com and the Mini Diary/Notes widget.
Can't find them in the Market - where can I download them from?
Cheers

hey mate,
I saw this but I was trying to do it without having to install ALL of the bloatware. Does anyone know of a way to just get the 2 widgets?
Anyone??

For some reason they wouldn't install. I checked 'Unknown Sources' in Application settings before doing it, but when I tried to install them they just said 'Application not installed'.
Any ideas?
download root exploer and copy the apk into your system apps folder
You may need to mount /system rw before you install. Get an app called Remount from Market (free) & use it to mount /system rw. Then try installing the apps you're having installation problems with.
Hmmm, using Root explorer to copy the files over did the trick for the Mini Paper app, but the accuweather app isn't working. The app I downloaded from the site sm625614 linked to is only 25kb... perhaps there's another app that it relies on?

[Q] minicm7 stuck at logo due to deleting of system launchers and installing zeam

i recently installed minicm 7 latest version on my x10 mini pro. it was running quite smoothly. however, not being happy with both adw launcher and home.apk(SE launcher) i deleted both of the apps from the system/apps folder and installed zeam launcher NORMALLY(via play store). But now on restarting the phone it stucks and the minicm logo. please help!
also i deleted some other files from system/apps (latin ime.apk userdictionayprovider.apk) which might have caused the problem.
is there a way to install zeam launcher into the system folder using CWWM recovery?
Just flash your rom again so you have the missing files back, then install zeam-launcher, set it as default and then delete the other stuff, no need to do a wipe if you install the same rom.
thanks. but i already did a full swipe and installed the rom

And? Did that solve your problem? Or are you still stuck? Did you get zeamlauncher working?

Can't install myfiles.apk

Hello,
I've just installed a custom rom (Pffitech 4.0.4) but it did not come with a Myfiles app. I've tried downloading it but whenever I try to install it, it says application not installed. I would need it because when i try to customise my alarm or notification tones, I cannot choose from my own sounds because it tries to load myfiles and fails.
Also, how can I resize the Accuweather widget on Touchwiz ux? I have tried long pressing it as with the old touchwiz but it does not work
Thanks

There are other alternatives to Myfiles I use Astro or Root Explorer and find them much better.
Myfiles is annoying Samsung bloatware in my opinion

1.
Myfiles.apk is a system application and wont install like a normal app.
You need to copy it to /system/app and then set the permissions to rw-r-r (644) using a root capable file manager like Solid explorer and Es file manager (both free)
There also very good and probably much better alternatives in Playstore.
2.
I don't use Touchwiz UX but it may be a bug in the ported launcher since it was not originally meant for our phone.
there are very good alternative launchers too in the playstore. You can even apply Touchwiz UX theme to most of those launchers. Apex, Nova, Holo launcher HD and Go launcher Ex, are good examples

[Q] TeslaUnread rejecting unofficial 'Nova Launcher'

Hi all,
Successfully reflashed my Xperia U with CM9-ZIII. It looks pretty awesome and runs about 10 times faster than before. Nice work.
However I get this error message: "TeslaUnread rejecting unofficial 'Nova Launcher' Please uninstall it and install only the official version."
I have TeslaUnread version 2.3 (as in ROM)
When I try and update NovaLauncher I see "Error. Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
Am I the only one that's seeing this? Why am I seeing this? How do I uninstall and reinstall Nova Launcher?

This happens if U install Nova Launcher Prime out of PlayStore and Tesla works only for Nova launcher prime..
Check whether you have downloaded NovaPrime launcher from googleplay or installed form sd card..
If from SDCARD, no solution..
Well that was the thing I didn't install Nova Prime it seemed to come with the ROM image. Perhaps its an older version? It would be good if the ROM builder could reply.
The solution I eventually found:
Install a different launcher from Play Store. I chose Apex.
Install a file manager app. I think ES File Manager was the one I picked.
Using the file manager tool delete \system\apps\Nova.apk
Restart and download Nova Launcher free version.
TeslaUnread doesn't work with Nova Launcher free. I think it will if you install another widgets manager or something. I haven't got that far yet.

Trying to convert Apex or Nova launcher to system app but failed

Hi guys,
I'm using a Huawei P9 with firmware EVA-L09C432B386 and I'm trying to convert Apex/Nova launcher to system app. It's because the phone wouldn't allow you to use certain widgets such as weather on third party launcher.
I moved both Apex and Nova folder from /data/app to /system/app and change the permission to Owner RW/Group R/Other R. But after rebooting the phone, the already installed launcher apps were missing. I couldn't find them in the drawer or "Settings - Apps" but only in the /system/app folder, however I couldn't launch or install them from the folder anyway.
Then I tried to use Titanium Backup to convert them to system apps, it just stuck in the "processing" forever. So I shut down the Titanium and reboot the phone, then go into the /system/app folder and there's an launcher apk there, I installed it but it just couldn't function properly.
Do you guys know any other way to convert them to system app, or what I did wrong in the process? Any input would be appreciated.
Ever wonder why no custom ROMs use said launchers as default? Coz you can't.
