I went ahead and compiled CM9's Trebuchet Launcher to work with within the Prime. You will need to put this in the /system/app folder and give it proper rights.. Otherwise it will error out while trying to add widgets
BTW I have removed all the wallpapers and non-working preferences from this release.

Nice, i'll give this a go when i get my new prime.
Will you be updating this as they release new versions ?
Might be an Idea to stick the version number in the title ..

I don't think they really have a version number yet as CM9 is yet to be release... I will offer a version number when I update (just my own though)
I tried it, but it crashes every time I try to put a widget on the home screen. Sticking with stock for now.

Yea I figured that out and updated the OP.. you need to put the apk in the system folder and give it the proper permissions
So uninstall it and put it in your system/app folder then using root browser or explorer change the permissions to match the rest of the files in the system/app folder

I have been waiting on this for quite a while. VTL Launcher! A scrolling dock bar across the bottom in landscape and portrait orientation. Gojimi of the GTablet devs has done it again. Still beta but works great and is built using ADW Launcher source.
I installed it earlier today on my GTab and loved it, so decided to give it a shot on the Nook and it works great on it too. As I said, it is still beta so there are a lot more features to be implemented over the coming releases.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017451
Be sure to give gojimi a big old thanks for all his great work when ya go to grab it!
Have fun..... HTR

That's very strange. Must be an Opera thing, you could have most likely downloaded it as a zip file then renamed it to .apk afterwards. When all else fails you should try the stock Android browser which is what I always use for downloading.
Glad to hear ya finally got it downloaded as an apk.

I have had that happen a time or two and all I did to fix it was rotate my nook to portrait mode then back to landscape.
Just a heads up, v1.4 beta is now available from same thread. Has a few fixes and a few new features. Most notably, right and left side docks.
Don't know if the aforementioned bug was fixed in this release or not. Let me know if that bug pops back up, will do the same for y'all if it happens to me.
Sent from my GTablet running CM7
The addition of side docks and a centered bottom dock finally made me switch. So far its good
It's interesting and pretty slick already... I tried it for about an hour and then went back to Zeam.
I wish someone would create a launcher that let me specify which edge of the screen I want the dock on and then have it stay there even when rotated from portrait to landscape and vice-versa. The icons themselves should rotate, of course, so they are always facing up, but I want them to rotate in place, not move to another "wall" when I rotate the device.

So far so good... I was using Launcher Pro, but I've been dissatisfied with it for awhile, was about to move to ADW when I saw this, which is so much better for the Nook... thank you much!
Hi guys, I tried to use the Epic 4G Touch launcher on my GS2, since I heard that it was better than the TouchWiz that comes with the international version, but something got messed up and it reverted back to the old launcher, and now it just shows the "Applications" icon in the middle of the dock, and whenever I try to add something else, it just FC's. I have deleted the Epic 4G Touch's launcher, but it still continues to do this.
SO, would anyone running completely stock XXKI3 firmware please go into their "/system/app" directory and upload: "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" and "TouchWiz30Launcher.odex"? I really appreciate it!
By the way, what is the function of the odex file?
THANK YOU!

On another note though, why doesn't the E4GT launcher work on my phone? It runs much smoother than the original, but then I run into the problems I was having as described in the first post... :S

And it still didn't work? That's odd, it worked for me after i rebooted the phone and I'm on KI3. I attached the new AT&T version of the launcher. It has a working search button and endless scrolling in the home screens. If you want to give it a try just unzip and drop the .lib file into system/lib (backup the one you have first) and the apk into system/app. This is the originating thread

Thank you for the information, but I honestly hate the new messaging icon on the AT&T launcher.
What reason could there be for the Epic launcher not working though? I really love how it's so smooth and more "polished" than the original.

The one I attached does not have the messaging apk, I took it out for that reason. Give it a try. I would download and use a different launcher while you install the new one just to be safe.

What launcher are you using? Most allow you to replace icons with ones of your choosing, you'll just have to put them on your sdcard.
If you're wanting to theme icons at the system level, or your launcher doesn't allow you to select a custom icon, then you'll have to modify apks.

Send me the icons and I'll make a flashable .zip for you that will change them, hassle free ( plus a recovery one so you can revert them if you don't like them ).
It's 2 minutes of work
Edit : I figure you want to change them while using Touchwiz, because replacement launchers do it easily anyway

1) The haptic feedback on pressing the Home button feels ever so slightly delayed compared to how it was original in GB and the other GB ROMs. Could be in my head. Anyone else experiencing this and if so, know how to fix it?
2) Apex launcher that is included in the ROM seems cool but to put widgets on the home screen it says I need to install it as a system app or have root or something. I have root of course - how do I get it as a system app?
3) When I try to install the Chrome beta browser it's giving me "Error - Error processing purchase" dialog. Any ideas on how to fix this? When google searching this problem it seems like it might be on Google's end and I should just wait it out.
4) People in the dev forum are talking about some multi-dpi fix. I didn't run that since I have no clue what that is or what they're talking about.
5) Also people are saying that the VM heap is wrong or something on this build. I have no idea what that is or how it will effect me.
Okay I think that is all for now. Thanks!

Multi-DPI fix are for people who are running their phones with a DPI (Dots Per Inch) that is different from the stock 320 DPI. A lot of people use an LCD Density of 240 which causes some poorly (read Samsung TouchWiz apps) written apps to scale badly on screen, like the dialer. If you aren't changing your DPI then you don't have to worry about the fix. They won't hurt anything, but they're not needed for you.

I'm the wrong person to give details on how the VM Heap works, but the stock ICS leak uses 256 and people have claimed performance improvements by reducing the VM Heap to 128 or 64. I've got it at 128 and it seems to have improved performance, but I cannot say for sure.
You can change LCD Density and VM Heap with apps like ROM Toolbox. You can also move Apex to system/app with ROM Toolbox. It's a rather useful app.

It depends on if you are running a deodexed version of the ROM currently. If yes, then, it should work as you described. If it is still ODEXED, then, no it won't.

Thanks, I did see that but I didn't like the idea of another app running in the background when I could just change one out. If I wasn't unlocked and rooted I would use that.
In case anyone wants it I pulled the .apk out of flex360's rom. Thanks flex360.
This, I believe, also has the ultrasmooth mod.
If posting this is against the rules or whatever let me know and I'll remove it. Just thought it would save people having to download a 500+mb rom if they are running a deodex rom and want the landscape rosie.
I kind of thought this would make the lockscreen rotate too but it doesn't... I have my phone sitting on the kickstand at work and I turn it on to look at the weather on the lockscreen which is why I originally wanted it rotated.

either this apk doesn't play well with viper, or I installed it wrong. I dropped it in /system/app and set permissions, but just got a black screen on reboot. Luckily, I was able to install apex from the play store from my computer, and once that installed, I was able to launch root explorer and change back to the backup rosie.apk I made before I pushed the new one. How are you supposed to install this?
Weird. Maybe some roms have changes not compatible or something. I did exactly what you did and it worked fine for me on the fresh 5.1.1 rom. I just renamed my original and put this one in system>app and changed permissions. After a reboot it worked.
I assume you meant system>app.

If its still odexed first delete the Rosie.odex file in root explorer then place your new Rosie in there. If you have modified the Rosie make sure it is signed. Signature verification has not been disabled in any of the roms that are out I don't believe.
