I have an O2 UK branded Galaxy S 2. O2 have released the ICS update for it on Kies. Can anyone tell me if this update allows the user to use the stock ICS launcher instead of the touchwiz rubbish.
I know I can install Apex Launcher on top but just wanted to check before hand.
TIA
It will never have stock launcher build in
But apex is basically modified stock launcher(nova is also good)
You have to get it from market or here at xda

Hi there,
I don't have any idea if this question has been asked before on this forum. At least
I could not find it.
Is there anyway to get stock look from official firmware. Like i have I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX (Android 4.0.3)
with touchwiz. Is there any way to remove touchwiz and get stock ics launcher. Completely remove touchwiz fragments.
Any help is appreciated.
TW cannot be removed from a Sammy ROM, not can it be added to an AOSP ROM. So if you want the AOSP launcher as your native stock home app, use CM9...
I hate touchwiz, i find it so damn ugly, ics looks so much better to me but samsung never releases their propietary drivers and we're stuck with half working aosp roms, so the only solution i can come up with is use the stock samsung ics firmware but get rid of their apps ( gallery, dialer, samsung apps, email client, read hub... ) and then install on top the stock ics apps, is it possible or will i break something?
try westscrips ressurection rom. Works perfect.

Hi,
I have put the latest ICS leak on my SGS2 which funny enough I find better and more stable than the official XXLPQ.
The only things I miss are the stock ICS apps such as the ICS calendar, stock Email for Exchange, stock dialer/people apps etc ... but I also kind of like Touchwizz launcher and would like to keep it.
I have downloaded the latest gapps but is it safe to flash these over a Samsung ROM and would it bring the stock ICS apps that I am after?
I have searched on the forum and found few threads about stock apps but not really what I am after.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Anyone can help for this?
I am trying to get the Email app from the CM9 ROM installed onto my LP3 stock Samsung ICS.
I have tried to copy Email.apk and Exchange.apk to /system/app but that doesn't work, the app is not visible under settings/applications...
I would love to get the stock ICS apps (sms, contacts, email, agenda) on the Samsung ROM (LP3) which I find very stable
Hey guys,
I saw a video on youtube by qbking77(?something like that) of him reviewing the official leak ICS build for SPRINT's SGS2.
He found that by clearing the defaults for Twlauncher apk, pressing home button will give you two options for the launcher, Touchwiz 4.0 and STOCK ICS. I thought this was pretty neat.
Can anyone confirm that GT-i9100's OFFICIAL ICS BUILD stores inside it the STOCK ICS LAUNCHER too?
Thanks guys!
Stock no but custom roms yes
Hi, I would like to install ICS without Samsungs twLauncher but as close as possible to the default one that Nexus would have for example if not the actual default? Can anyone recommend the best rom to flash? Also not looking for a launcher like GO.
So yea basically Googles Android launcher and not the Samsung one
Thanks
Get the Wanam Blue ICS.
or if you dont want to change roms, maybe extract the apk from the wanamlite, or find a download for stock launcher and install it
