I think, if you install it as a system app it won't be killed.

With root explorer, move it to system/app and change permissions.
Or you can use es file explorer, its free
I think you'll need to rename your current launcher. Add .bak to it.
Thanks for the suggestion, it still shows up in the task manager, another question how do I get ADW to boot with a theme8
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
if you install as a system app (perms 644) and set as default, then edit you build.prop with this line:
RO.HOME.APP.ADJ=1
it should hold it in memory. The only other way to do it is set the OOM value to something like -2 (and I can't remember how to do that). Also, pretty sure adw has a setting to "keep home in memory" which should help also.

Just switch to another launcher before you delete it
I wouldn't completely delete it, though so at least you have a fallback
Ok so iho does not come with a native launcher like asop?

No ADW is the "system" launcher of this rom.
IIRC in the rom thread there is a link to the stock launcher.
If thats what your looking for. Otherwise install another and just uninstall ADW dont delete it. Deleting it without uninstalling can cause problems.
Ok thanks I will look for the stock launcher
Sent from my LG-VM670 using XDA Premium App
What is the problem with ADW? I have been using it with IHO and don't see any problems with it. ADW is better than the stock launcher. If you don't want to use the additional features, you can configure just like the stock launcher. I would leave it alone instead of dealing with going back to stock launcher after every ROM update.
I personally don't have a problem with adw I jus wanted the feel to be as close as possible to gb

Can this be done? Without having to drag them all out and then in again, in the right order.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
No, you can't.
try appZorter, it let you sort applications. As I've tested it with the stock TouchWizz, it's ok and sort files in folders too.

Or try another app launcher, like Nemus Launcher.
It is a free app from the Market.
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.

Thanks for the help tj_droid. Really appreciate it!!
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.

Did you only clear data or did you also clear defaults as the other user has stated?
If you do/have done so already, and it still does not show up. Download yourself a root file explorer(my favorite is still solid explorer)
Navigate to system/app directory, ensure you still have blurhome.apk under system apps. It might be accompanied by a .odex file, in which case both are needed for the app to function in an odex rom(stock )
Check permissions are all set properly. (I believe it is rw-r-r (read&write - read - read)

An option for home launcher only pops up if you're using a custom rom so since youre stock no option for home launcher will appear. Only way you can get home launcher back is to delete go launcher
