[Q] Removing standard laucher? - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

I am using CM7.1 build by grif and that one has ADW launcher by default. Can i remove it with titanium backup and install GO launcher or will that crash something? I'm a beginner, so thanks for probably a simple answer.

Install Go launcher first and then remove ADW. It wont crash

Install the other launcher, set defaults to it. (maybe even turn it to a system app using titanium backup). and remove the old launcher with titanium backup.
I have done it and there are no issues so far.. cheers

Can the system app thing be done for iLauncher and replace ADW Launcher? CM7. 2

Yes, but first try to make iLauncher a system app (do not remove adw), reboot your phone and see whether iLauncher works properly or not and then remove adw launcher

Titanium backup is useless. Download root explorer or file manager app from market. After downloading, open root explorer or file manager. Go to sd card or data/app and copy go launcher ex's apk and paste it in system/app and set permissions to
RW-
R--
R--
Reboot and enjoy.

[Help] How do I make a Launcher?

I was hoping someone could tell me how to create my own app. I want to make a launcher with only one screen and that I can choose wallpapers vertical WITHOUT zooming in or what. And an app drawer I can pull up. And as smooth as launcher go :3 Or is there already a launcher like this. (Not Helix Launcher....)

I take it you've tried LauncherPro? Very smart launcher. Can be very minimal or completely over-the-top. It's entirely up to you. And it's fast =]

Yup launcherpro is no doubt the fastest launcher.
To OP it's not easy to write an app.
Oke thanks
But isn't there a launcher like I want?

Well, are you trying to simulate another interface? Cuz I don't understand what launcher characteristics you want.

Is it possible to swap home launchers in a rom?

I have the speedrom version 6.0 and it uses trebuchet as the default launcher. I like apex launcher better and was wondering can I push the apex launcher apk to system/apps and delete the trebuchet apk, restart my phone and have Apex as the default launcher? Thank you in advance to anyone for their help.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Of course you can, go to play store and download apex, when finished, press home, and you will be able to select between apex and trebuchet, select set as default, and select apex and done, apex is your default launcher. No need to delete trebuchet though

Btw, apex has a feature that even if its not installed to system/app, it will allow you to select widgets from the app drawer

I always use root explorer to push nova launcher and its paid version unlock key to /system/app and change permissions. Then I reboot and delete previous launcher
I prefer nova over apex... just my opinion

You can use any launcher, not just the ones mentioned.

Use He2launcher (or something like that)
Go to prefernces and find Blur theme

You can use he blurhome launcher only in the stock rom, because it need blur framework. Its similar to sense. There are only themed sense launcher, too.
