Hello
I am using samsung I9001 with broodROM RC2 on it. After installing there were 3 lauchers aviable: touchwiz 3.0, go laucher and tw 4.5
I was using go laucher, but i wanted to check out tw 4.5, so i set it as a deafult launcher
After seting it, i get black screen and communicate "Application TwLaucher has stopped working ), and it happens all the time... How can i switch to go laucher then??
if you can access the menu somehow /applications/manage applications/tw 4.5
clear defaults
then click home....it should open the launcher selection screen
I know it... But u know, i have black screen, i can' t do anything... Of course i can do factory reset from recovery, but i' ve just installed and copied everything i needed and i don' t want to waste time doing it again :<
EDIT:
Yeah, i did it, it showed go launcher update from market, so i used it and launched go )

Hello,
Could someone post apk file of most stock launcher of X8. I mean the one which drawer icon is an arrow pointing up and when you press menu kes (leftmost one) vertical, iPhone like menu appears.
Thanks in advande
Flash stock rom, root and use root explorer to get it from system apps
It won't work so don't bother.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
I saw that Launcher on SROM (Android 2.2) but I'm not sure that it will work on GingerBread.
The problem is that I don't have a X8. If I have one then I won't be asking
I'm gonna try extracting an apk from the SROM.
Edit:
I got the "App is not installed" problem.
Edit 2:
When installing with adb it says "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES".
Bump, and...
I've succeed in installing the SROM's Launcher2.apk but I'm getting FC every single time I'm trying to run that Home Screen. Anyone know why?
You need to put semc permission files into system folder, try to flash those permissions via xrecovery. With them I've installed original se launcher on 2.3.7 x8, but it doesn't work properly. Also there are some screenshots from fde V2.2.2 (2.3.7android) with stock launcher
thanx
very nice application. Does it works wonder [ROM] LinuXperia ESCHA Arch V1 - V2 - V3 ?
Actually I'm trying to install it on a Samsung Galaxy Ace (CM7.1 with CWM recovery). I'm gonna try to install the premissions manually.
Ed. Files copied and replaced. Still FCs.
@romanalien Could you post a screnshoot of what happens after pressing the menu key?
As I said, the app doesn't work properly, when you're trying to press menu it FC's, I don't know why.
Damn it. It is actually only the menu in the launcher I want.
Hi
So as the title says, the thing went like:
- I use checkrom revolution from some time now (currently at v4)
- I tried ICS remix rom from westcrip I think it was v7.3 no-wipe. I did't do a backup, this was my mistake
- As it was not as good for a daily use, I reflashed checkrom
- The shortcut to calendar had changed to something like "app not installed", when I go to add shortcut, calendar doesn't appear in the list
There is a Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk in system/app, if I run it, it launchs an installer but at the end it says "Application not installed"
I know there are lots of calendar apps in market but I liked the default, so I'd like to know if there is a way to get it back :s
Any help will be appreciated

You don't run .apk files in /system/app. If the files are already there, they should be in your app list. If they're NOT in your app list, reboot. If they're still not in your app list, factory reset/data wipe. If they're STILL not in your app list, reflash checkrom.
EDIT: How are you adding the shortcut? Long press on the homescreen, or long press on the icon in your app drawer? Does the calendar show up at all in your app drawer?

Factory reset>flash stock again. BACK UP!!!>flash whichever ROM you like.
Saying "I didn't backup, my mistake" is a pathetic and lame excuse.

It isn't in my app drawer either, I forgot to mention it in the OP, I was doing long press on homescreen. I've rebooted and reflashed checkrom, I was hoping for an option that didn't involve wipe/reset
And when I said I didn't backup was not meant as an excuse, just more information, in case someone asked if I did it / suggested to recover from backup

Wait - are you trying to flash back from ICS to a GB based ROM withOUT wiping? Yeah, as far as I know, that'll never work. You will HAVE to wipe.
EDIT: To be honest, I'm kind of surprised you're not seeing more problems and issues with your phone, if you DIDN'T wipe going from ICS back to GB.
That's right, I flashed back to GB from ICS with just cache/dalvik wipe and everything works fine, the calendar gone is the only problem I have.
Thanks for the answers, I guess I'd have to go with the wipe.

Hello all,
i can't unlock Launcher Pro to Plus version. I bought Plus version unlocker in market, but app still locked (also after restart, reboot). Has anyone had the same problem? Thank you.
F.
You probably have some other problem that's showing up with these symptoms.
I use L-Pro on stock 173, and I've used it on the ICS leak (where adding widgets becomes difficult due to no text beside the widget icons).
L-Pro is what I typically use, regardless of the image I'm using.
Did you use TiBU to "freeze" things on your phone? Try thawing those out, one by one, and see if the problem goes away. That's the usual source of "random" problems...
This is because i've pushed launcher pro to install as a system app. Don't use the unlocking program request a key, that it's if the developer still contactable.
Other option, install another launcher, then move lpp to /data reboot and it will function correctly.

Thank you FTS, worked
Moved home.apk from system/app to data/app, then uninstall in market, install again from market and unlocker working now.
Hi all,
I've sort of bricked my new razr this morining after a reboot...
after reading the thread about trebuchet, I saw that it is adviced to put it in the system folder of the ROM. I then did the same with my current launcher to improve the speed of it (I don't know at all if this is a good solution but I wanted to test anyway).
Problem now is that my launcher force close at phone boot with a basic message saying that the launcher has stopped and a single 'ok' button. when I press 'ok' the same message appear again after a few milli seconds and does not allow me to launch any task.
Then I guess that the only solution for me is to re-upload my ROM (Motorola Razr latest OTA) and that this will suppress my launcher in the system folder but I wanted to share this experience because maybe someone could know a good solution.
Thanks for your help!
Can you go into system settings before boot and just change the launcher? Possible like this
go home, menu, settings, applications, manage applications, running, scroll down to find ADW launcher, open, scroll down and click clear defaults. then when you go home, it should give you a choice to pick your desired launcher. Be sure to check the box on the bottom of the choice box to set your default launcher to your desired choice.
Actually, the launcher started to crash before the system gave me the hand and allowed me to do anything. No way to perform any action with the phone (not any action, nothing was possible under the ROM itself)
Then I finally found some time to get my computer and re-upload the official ICS OTA ROM of the Razr. It had done basically 2 things (and one was the one I was expecting or hoping): lose the root (obviously) and lose the settings of the 2 apps I putted under the phone /system folder.
After that I removed the 2 apps that were installed on /system and changed my default launcher to stay safe :fingers-crossed: (done today, that's why I came back to the thread now)
Everything is ok now.
BTW, I discovered that in the worst case, it is possible to do a full wipe / factory reset under the official / native Razr recovery, and even better, it is possible to install a ROM under this recovery.
Everything is under control at the end.
Thanks for your answer!
I have found a good work around for those of you who may enjoy more usable space on your screen. With the screen the S4 comes with it only makes sense to use it. Only follow these steps after you are running on Hyperdrive ROM successfully (I am guessing this will work with other roms as long as Xposed Framework can be installed).
Background Work (no major changes yet)
1) Open the app Hyperdrive Control
2) Navigate Custom Settings > Advanced Mods > Framework Installer
3) Click Install/Update
4) Select the tab 'modules' from the top
5) Check all the boxes you see (I had 3)
4) Click Reboot
Let's get started
1) Reopen Hyperdrive Control
2) Navigate Custom Settings > Advanced Mods > Per App DPI Settings
3) Select Google Keyboard
4) Turn the switch to ON
5) Enter 160 for DPI, 100 for Font and check the box labeled 'xlarge res'
6) Click save and click yes.
7) Repeat steps 4-6 with the apps Swype and Samsung Keyboard
8) Make sure you followed the above steps then continue
9) Now find an app called Android System from the list and select it.
10) Enter 280 and don't change anything else (I don't know what you would be doing so I stayed away)
11) Click save and click NO.
12) Restart and enjoy.
I went back and changed System UI to 340 as I didn't like how small the notification bar became. Also recommending ExDialer as the stock keypad won't 'stretch' and lastly as a must, look into a good launcher. I am using NOVA Prime.
If you want to undo changes you can simply turn everything 'Off' and click Save and No. Then restart.
Hopefully this helps some!
If I am missing anything or if anyone wants to add more detail let me know! Side note: random but AOSP helper was installed on my device also allowing easy toggle from 3G to 4G with JuiceDefender...

Mods can you list this as a [HOWTO]... sorry left that out.
awesome.. .thank you!
OMG thank you for this, i has given up on how to do anything on it. I did not know how to use Xposed frameworks, this is what i needed, than you very much:good:
Has anyone tried changing the overall system DPI and then changing just the misbehaving Samsung applications back to stock (i.e., Contacts/Dialer, Camera)? I pretty much manually set all of my apps to between 320 and 340, but the Notification dropdown is way too big. (Email and Gmail both at 320 in order to become usable).
This made my launcher grid super tiny and the keyboard is unusable it is so small. I can imagine how some slight DPI adjustment could be good, but this is aweful!
that being said, I will use this method to adjust things how I would like them.
I'm glad it worked well for you guys but both of those changes made things worse for me. I put it back on stock and am very happy with it.
I'm running 320 DPI in my build prop. To fix the dialer I went into the per app DPI and changed the contacts app and phone app to stock 480 DPI and also the calculator app as well. They all run just like stock now no problems at all
Forgot to mention gallery as well

im using 360 in my build.prop. and have had no problems. only thing i had to fix was my market. which i used this market found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
using the correct version of the one in my current rom(hyperdrive). Dont ask me why this works. But someone else said they tried it and it worked. so i did and it worked. Sometimes ive noticed it will all the sudden on reboot, change to a different version of the market. But that has only happened a couple of times. and usually it didnt matter(most apps still showed up like normal). But i dont know that this will work the same way for everyone since it seems to be a semi flakey method.
It works fine in HyperDrive RLS 4. Don't try to change the build.prop for the first boot, though. Let it boot once, then change it. Let's just say that the results were a hung device first.
I added clock back to 480 because there are issues with it.. The year view in Calendar is a bit off, but that's the only screen that doesn't work right... The Market works fine at this resolution (360). This is much easier than what I was doing before...
Now Touchwiz can be somewhat usable as it isn't huge gigantic text everywhere (even on the Tiny selection in Screen)
My system ui keeps crashing whenever I change anything related to Android System. Followed the directions but no luck so far.

That's why I just went the other way around and changed build.prop then made things larger as needed. Less problems this way...

I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert at this in anyway. This is just how I got it to work...
You said Hyperdrive Build 4 is working for you? I flashed it and have had nothing but troubles so far. It always hangs at SAMSUNG Custom boot screen... I have tried everything and now once I went back to my Nandroid of 3.1 it boots up with no issue, Then I go to reboot through the power menu and it hangs on that screen again.
Colton
PS I guess an easier approach also to allow most programs to stay stock would be to allow the android system to stay stock and just change what you need like the launcher...
I had the same problem about system ui... make sure you are pressing NO to the option it gives you and then reboot. I also had some DPIs that the phone just didn't like (240)... everything kept fc'ing...

I had problems with the first two downloads. Then I was able to get one to work early this morning... Also note that it is supposed to be a wipe'd flash, so make sure you do the format data/cache 3 times, then format system... I generally do a flash of the rom first to make sure that there aren't problems, though, before I format system...
I only use 320, 360, and 480's as DPI's on the S4.
Your approach is the way I used to do, but I wanted everything smaller, so every time I installed a program, I changed it to 320/360.. But then I wanted 320/360 to be the overall and only make exceptions for the things that demand stock DPI.
Understood - I didnt wipe to flash as i never did before without an issue. I am downloading stock ODIN now as something is up with my data partition...? It hangs on every second+ boot from restore/install and will not even boot off an install. I will go to stock odin, root, recovery and then install. Also downloading a fresh copy of Hyperdrive RLS4... Thank you for the tips.
C22
Found a better way!
Okay so I am now on RLS 10.2.0...
Download some type of Root file manager... I paid for/use Root Explorer love it.
Navigate to /system and long press build.prop
Find the line that contains screen density =480 and change it to your desired DPI (I am using 280)
From there all apps/everything is changed to that dpi... some stock apps you will have to use xposed to change them back to 480 just to make it work because they show different resolutions horribly.
I followed these steps...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269483
works great! Enjoy.. Also on the Multi DPI stock app post, the only one that works with the Verizion phone is the Gallery S4 v2.zip file... The others I am trying to work with the dev on getting up and running for our phones.
