Hi guys, I would really like to go back to a stock rom, but the launcher is what is stopping me. For instance, on my AOS rom i have the adw launcher as default, and i can disable the dock bar. I was wandering then, since I would like to install a deodexed stock rom, can i just put adw launcher in the app folder and delete the stock one before flashing it? The silly question is: when the default launcher is missing from the rom, does the os know that adw is the right one then? or is the launcher some kind of "special" app and its implementation is harder than that? thank you in adwance for your answers.
Just put the adw. Apk fike in system/app.
Then change permissions of that adw.apk to rw-r-r( all shud be ticked under read and only the first row shud b ticked under write.) Then press ok and reboot phone. And ur work shud b done.:thumbup:

Thank u, that explains me how to do when i have already a rom installed...is it possible to do it also before flashing it?
U can do it. But when u install a new rom it will obviously not exist. So no point in doing this before flashing a new rom

Would it be possible to only get the Launcher without the extra apps?

I keep getting random re-boots every min or so with this launcher installed, had to restore an recovery backup to be able to use my phone again.

Hey armedking if you want the touchwiz ux icons on tw 4 launcher follow these instructions:
First you go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 and donwload the tw4 manager and install it.
Then you go to Check for updates & uninstall and to last stable version.
A popup will appear amd ask how to install it ift you are rooted choose system/app (This will let you uninstall apps from drawer).
It will install a new twlauncher with much more options and themes.
then you make a zip with the icons wich are named as PACKAGE name of the applications you want to skin.
Then you copy it to the INTERNAL SD card and hit menu in launcher
go to themes and them Install theme.
As next step you go to choose theme and choose your zip
At last you go back to launcher menu and hit restart and save.
I hope i can help you If I did tit the thanks button

just open the zip (custom rom) with winrar / winzip and browse anything u need from it ..
the apk that you want is mostly located in /system/app
Hello,
I currently use Jeally Beans custom rom.
On this rom and the stock one,
if I create a folder and add stuff into it, and copy that folder to home (the shortcut menu, i dont know the proper name of it)
the original folder and the shortcut is not syncing.
I found GO launcher does this, but not the rom i'm using right now.
GO launcher uses so much battery (I have seen %15-20)
So i dont want GO L.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Its really sad that original android developers still did not include this in stock rom.

Use nova prime launcher
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Are there any benefits of converting nova launcher into a system app?
Does it make it faster? More Stability?
Inputs would be highly appreciated..
Meh, doesn't really make a difference. ROM cooks usually puts it in /system if they're using it as the main ROM launcher, but there aren't any advantages for a normal user. You can do it if you want to, though

Just download a new launcher (Nova, Apex or whatever you prefer), delete the stock Sony launcher from system/app, and you're done. No cooking is needed, but you'll need root.
Thank you very much , You're a star ,I am glad i don;t have to go to the kitchen
restart
If you do get rid of the stock launcher and u put lets say the google kitkat launcher google placed on the play store in the /system app folder and u need to reseat the device would the os install the launcher in the app folder or would it not touch it so when it starts up there is no user face, and if so how can u put aosp launcher back onto it and where would u find the launcher?
