When you reboot your device, do all the settings from the launcher go back to default again? Because I had that problem with that TW4 launcher on my YP-G1, so i stopped using it.

I use ADW EX as my default launcher so the fact that TW4 settings were reset didn't bother me.

I used the directions from the linked site (first quote).
Download and extract the zip file.
You must be rooted.
You will see basically two files in app directory and lib directory.
Using Root Explorer, I made a copy of the twlauncher30.apk and twlauncher30.odex from system/app to my external card for safe keeping for just in case.
Now using root explorer, delete the old twlauncher30.apk and twlauncher30.odex files and copy and paste the new twlauncher30.apk (TW4) to system/app folder. Change the permissions of the file to match the other files. It should be rw-r--r--. Note that you must be in r/w mode to delete and paste and change permissions in this folder.
Now copy and paste the /lib file from the download to system/lib (same deal... you must be in r/w mode). Change the permissions to match the other files in this folder.
Now reboot and you should be seeing the new TW4 launcher in action.
I am not sure how to activate the gestures still though...

Per request Im posting some Asus native widgets:
Notes:
For email to work, copy: Email.apk, EmailWidget.apk and Exchange.apk into system/app dir OVERWRITING exisiting files(backup exisiting apks if you wish). Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot. Widget will appear under 'Widgets' section.
For date/time and weather to work, copy: weather.resized.ics.apk and DeskClock.apk into system/app folder. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot. Widget will appear under 'Widgets' section.
For TaskManager to work, copy: taskmanager.apk into system/app folder. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Widget will appear under 'Widgets' section - no need to reboot for this one.
I have some more Asus native apps/widgets/wallpapers - if anyone wants let me know.
the rest:
Thanks for these. Would love to see the others please!
Cheers
Nice. I'm going to try these out when I get home.

I dont quiet get what you are saying. Are you saying you cant place the file in the system/app directory on your sd card?
With the exception of the emailwidget file, all the asus files moved smoothly into the system/app folder. Whenever I try and put the emailwidget file in, it says 'transfer failed'. As said, everything else is in the folder.

Hmm. Thats odd. If everything else moved fine, I dont see why that one wouldnt. Is that the only file that REPLACES another one? Maybe the original needs to be removed first. Back it up and delete it. Then try again.
I love xda.

i can't get the email app to work....it wasn't installed so when I try to install this new one it says "not installed". That means the widget won't appear either =S
Try to install it with a root explorer like Rom Toolbox.
Paste it to system/app.

You don't really install it - get yourself some file explorer; 'root browser' is the best IMO. Then go to system/app and delete the 3 original email apks(back them up first if you want). Copy the 3 email apks attached to this post to system/app, change permissions on all 3 files to rw-r-r reboot and the email widget should be there.
I will post some more Asus stuff tomorrow. The thing I'm looking for is Asus quick settings status bar widget. If anyone has a port please upload.

i know we usually don't install this kind of stuff, but it won't work for any reason. the app doesn't even show up in the app drawer.
i pasted it into system/app and changed permissions like the instructions said. The weather and clock worked fine, the email wont =S
Hmmm the only thing I can think of is perhaps your explorer app makes a backup of original apk by default without overwriting the original - check if you have something like email-backup.apk in your system/app folder. Also see what the modified date says on those apks. Don't forget to reboot.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using XDA Premium HD app
it works now, i installed the apk on a different ROM i'd made a nandroid of earlier, which is what i'll stick with.
PS: Would you do this with Sense widgets/apps aswell in the future?
here are a few more:
copy BatteryWidget.apk to your system/app folder, change permissions to rw-r-r, reboot.
Simply install dayscene apk
move to system/app

What did you use to move to the /system/media folder?
Is your file system mounted as writable?

Make sure your file system is mounted as writable. I used ES File Explorer and did all the steps, and it didn't work. So I checked the ES settings and it wasn't "Mounted as writable". Once I fixed that, and did the exact same steps, it worked. The animation looks great.

Hi. I just tried that and it didn't work either. Just moving the bootanimation.zip to the \system\media is all I need to do (besides setting the permissions)? There is no other bootanimation.zip file in the media folder. How does the phone know to use the bootanimation.zip file when booting? Thanks.
Guess this will not work on stock OCS.
Does anyone have a bootanimation that is in the default Samsung format

What rom are you on? Custom boot animation may not be supported.
Is your current boot animation the android logo? There was no other bootanimation.zip in the folder for me, until I placed the renamed JB one.
here's my complete list of steps, that produced the desired results for me on Black*STAR IV ics rom:
*dl file to PC, renamed to bootanimation.zip placed in dropbox
*extracted to external sd card from dropbox app on phone
*moved to /system/media/ folder with ES file explorer (with mounted as writable, and all root options enabled)
*set permissions using Rom Toolbox's root browser
*rebooted phone and enjoyed animation
Mine does samsung logo samsung logo, android logo, then booted up.
Permissions set in ROM toolbox. Bootanimation.zip.
Must be my ROM's animation, (the android letters) needs removed?
Permisions is RW-R--R--

so to load a new launcher for root users:
1. Root Your Device!
2. Using a root explorer like es file explorer or root explorer mount system R/W
3. Grab the all for whatever you want from wherever you have it, and just copy it into you /system/app/ folder
4. Re-name the "Launcher.apk" application in the /system/app/ to "Launcher1.apk"
5. Voila you can now use any launcher in the system app folder-->note you may need to reboot

There is no need to rename the launcher.apk. After another launcher is installed you will be given the choice of which launcher you want to set as default, you can change back to stock launcher by clearing the defaults of the custom launcher. Better to not change system files if you dont have to. After you move the new launcher to system/app folder change the permissions to rw-r--r--.

Would you need to rename the new launcher to anything special, or is setting these permissions and/or placing into this directory enough?

Alright,
1st, device spoofer will cause BOOTLOOPS!!!! so don't buy!
(I learned this the hard way)
so this isn't really a mod but if you boot-looped your device by messing with build.prop than here is a quick fix:
1.Make sure you have adb set up nice for your fire by following the amazon developers @ https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/getting-started.html AND that you have the orignal build.prop file
Make sure you read the entire page verbatim, especially if your a mac user, because all the answers are either on the page or in the links
2.You either will need to have temp root or have already been rooted.
3. Make sure the device is actually reaching adb, check this by waiting until the sparkly kindle fire logo comes up, and then doing adb devices
4. Down to Business: Turn on the fire and wait until you reach sparkly kindle fire logo.
5.Navigate to platform-tools folder and place your original build.prop file there
6.type
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv build.prop /system/build.prop
exit
exit
reboot
7. If you already kept a backup of the original build.prop file on the device, than change the mv line to
Code:
mv /system/build.prop.bak /system/build.prop
-->and there ya go, post if you have problems

Hi,
Will this replace this awful carousel thing ? And therefore, redirect the home button ?
Sorry, i'm not a native english speaker, i don't understand the "Grab the all for whatever you want from wherever you have it".
Does it mean that i copy the new launcher's apk file to /system/app/ ? And do i have to install the new launcher ?
Thanks

Download a launcher from the play store
With a file manager move the apk from /data/app/ folder (It will be named differently than you are used to, usually has the company or developers name instead) to /system/app/ folder then reboot.
No need to change permissions as they are the same coming from /data/app/ folder

Are there any alternates to the soft button bar like a stock jb one or something? Or can we not do that because of the odex? I know it's systemui.apk I tried installing a cm9 systemui.apk on my kf2 and system/app rwrr but on reboot all I got was black screen. I backed it up and restored it with adb so I know what i'm doing... for the most part. Sorry for an y random spaces or periods... swype doesn't like furious tapping on the kf2. Needless to say, I have swype as default keyboard and launcher pro as launcher.
Well, I tried the same wpthing with a similar result. My best guess is that it works off of framework res so...until there are custom ROMs we have to wait. But, I've been toying with an idea: if the favorite button on the saftbar was rewritten to display recent apps, e.g. that it always displays 8 apps from data list x, and data list x is a list constantly updated saying the most recent app. Then the app could be themed minorly to have the window over window PNG and voila: a little bit better stock ROM. My problem is that I'm not a coder of any kind, so its a slow process.

Has anyone figured out or tried to replace or disable stock search and get Google search to work. I've tried a few things with no luck. I would also like Google now.
For Google search, it's really tedious.
For it to work you have to rename the stock search to iforgothenameofit.apk.bak
Than you have to grab the Google search app from jelly bean gapps via goo.I'm, and push it to the system/app folder with permissions rw-r--r--
Than you have to push all the framework files, permission files, basically any other non-apk file to the folder of which it belongs.(you can get this from the whole zip file that you got from goo.I'm
MAKE SURE THAT EVERY FILE YOU PUT IN THE SYSTEM DIRECTORY HAD PERMISSION RW-R--R--
*This can actually be done with a root explorer fairly easily

Go to settings-language/input select your keyboard. May have to uncheck then recheck the selection box first too

Extract the .lib files from the keyboard .apk(s) and copy them into the folder /system/lib/. I prefer using Root Browser. If using root browser, click on the keyboard apk file and click view. Navigate to the lib folder and extract them (Root Browser extracts them to /sdcard/Extracted/). Copy each one to /system/lib/ and change the permissions (for each one) to rwxrwxrwx (all 9 boxes checked or chmod 0777). That's how I made the new Google Keyboard a system app on my device.
