Hello guys, I have a question. First, my phone is running with Axura ROM. The thing is want to revert back to using TW Launcher and not use Launcher Pro. I don't like the look of the icons in Launcher Pro anymore.
I tried reinstalling TWLauncher using Explorer but the app will not install. Does that mean I have to do something special for the app to work with Axura?? Please help.
Did you uninstall the TW Launcher? If not you just need to go to "manage apps" in settings and clear the defaults for LauncherPro. Then press home and it should give you the option of which launcher you want to use.

If I remember correctly TWLauncher is completely removed from Axura. You said you tried reinstalling TWLauncher. How exactly did you go about it? I would recommend getting the stock KB1 which the last Axura release was based on, copy TWLauncher.apk from /system/app, and push it to /system/app on your phone. Reboot and it should be available.
Thanks for the reply guys. Here's the scoop. There was a reason for axura to remove TWL simply because it doesn't work. I was able to install the latest version and honestly it SUCKS. That damn launcher locks my phone and I ended up reinstalling everything from scratch again. TWL is not good for axura, looks nice but it's not worth it. Anyway, that is what I got for you and thanks for the replies.
Yeah I think TW Launcher 4 had bugs. Version 3 was stable. Not sure about compatibility with Axura. It was a loooooong time ago when I last used that rom.

It was taken out. Have you tried a different launcher? Like ADW or ADW-EX

hi
I am a user of the new beta1 of CyanogenMod7 by Quarx. I dont like ADW so i tried that.
It does not work it boots but it stays at cyanogenMod Logo.
Is there another way to get the Stock Launcher?
Hmmm... I'm interested too.
Maybe this can help you?! http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-stock-gingerbread-launcher-on-android-devices-running-cyanogenmod-7/
I have already tried that, is nearly the same as that what i posted in the first post. Does not work. Its becouse wo dont have official cyanogen.
there's a gingerbread launcher on the market, but i don't know if it is the same of the stock version.
I now 3 gingerbread Launcher in the Market the one by Eugene373 does not work on CM7, i dont like the one by MoDaco becouse no 3D app drawer and the third one cost money so havnt tested it yet....
If you want stock launcher install it from market, but before install beta2 cm7 rom becorse it support now opengl es2 and launcher is now working

i don't think you can
I always use the HE Launcher regardless of the rom. I upgraded to the cyan rom and first thing I did was install this launcher then deleted the ADW system app.

I use launcher pro with some tweaks its better than eugene launcher and faster eugenes launcher is little bit slow

ADW works now good for me
after installing cm7 app drawer was a bit laggy but now works perfectly
I've installed Launcher Pro Plus and it works like a charm, ADW was laggy and I couldn't do anything about it ( that was also the case when I was on Froyo).
Ok i think Stock launcher is not needet anymore, i tried it and did not like it becose of the low resolution in the app drawer. Go Launcher is best i think.
Good work !
fairly new owner, using ADW EX and Nova launchers. Noticed that the wallpapers are pushed down compared to the stock launcher. is there a fix for this?
thanks

At this time the only temporary fix is using Multipicture Live Wallpaper
Or possibly my method described in the themes n apps section. Its called "Are you tired of stock gallery...."

hi, to be honest with you you're better off using Go Launcher EX, better customisation options.
I installed this and I'm loving it, I even download system un-installer and removed TwLauncher from my phone (root required)
cheers will give it a try

Be very careful about removing/uninstalling the stock launcher outright. Just as easy to freeze it With Titanium or similar & avoid potential problems.
Besides, you can't 'remove' TW in it's entirety. It has a bunch of system processes that are always running & any other launcher you use basically sits on top of it/those.
I have my stock launcher frozen in Ti & use GoEx as my default launcher & have never had any problems.

Hello,
i don´t like the TW-Launcher or all the other Home-Replacements. How can I use the stock launcher with my SGS SII (Android 4.0.3)????
Thank you!!!!
Greetings from Germany
I think you might have to push it. Have you checked out Nova launcher? Same launcher, more settings.

It has been mentioned, but I agree. Never tried Apex, since Nova, inside AOKP has always done it for me. Apex and Nova are equally cool, from what I've heard about Apex, lol. Matter of choice.

I tried trebuchet from and launcher2 from galaxy nexus, both force closed when adding a widget...
I just copied them to data/app folder and set rights similar to other apps in the same folder. Do i need to do something differently?

Are you on ICS or GB?..
Also, I remember something about pushing it to system/app instead, something about a permission, exactly because of the widgets in app launcher. Try to move it to system apk instead.
Good luck. Launcher2, I wouldn't really count on. Trebutchet, Nova and Apex, I don't see why wouldn't work

Official ICS. Everything works now with trebuchet, had to run apk to install it. Just copying/pushing didn't do the trick.

Quick question.....
Is there anyway to use the HTC widgets on this launcher?
Can't find a clock or a music widget anywhere on the launcher.
The dock option is badass though.

I was going to get apex, but then I realized I'd have to redo my entire desktop layout (restoring the /data partition of my Energy ROM did it for me in Sense....lazy lol). Also I kept telling Android to choose Sense by default when I hit the home button, but it kept asking me everytime which launcher I wanted, so I uninstalled apex. Soon as an AOSP ICS Rom is releases, I'm all over apex.

Yeah I was selecting the "do this as default" option when I hit the home key, but it just refused to remember it for me (when selecting Sense as default launcher). Didn't try to make apex the default.

No, if you want OFFICIAL ICS look use trebuchet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410674
The download link isn't working, and I'm pretty sure I can post it without issue.. if you like it hit their thanks button. It is really easy to push into the /system/app folder via adb or with root explorer, es file explorer, etc.
I don't have a quicker/easier way to post it than dropbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13692699/Trebuchet.apk
Even though I didn't keep using caprombeta(needs root) I saw the launcher he chose and was very impressed

Finally re-installed Apex, and it was doing the same thing. Every couple of times I hit the home button, it would ask me if I wanted Apex or Sense launcher to load. I fixed this by going into Titanium backup and freezing "[DESKTOP] HTC Sense" if anyone else is having trouble with this.

Tried it, but it didn't work. Freezing Sense worked great though.
I don't think it's just my phone though. I have a friend who has a Samsung Captivate, and I rooted his phone and installed an ICS rom for him about a month ago. I suggested Apex (the rom used Nova), so he downloaded it and has been using it. He recently told me that it keeps forgetting that it's the default launcher, and that he has to tell it again and again. :/
