I'm using Miracle V4 ROM and would like an iPhone look so I'm using iLauncher, and I've few questions that I need help on,
1. It came with LauncherPro, should I uninstall it as I'll be using iLauncher?
2. Best website to download iPhone icons?
3. Which keyboard to use that looks like the iPhone keyboard?
1.You need to delete the app with rootexplorer or solid explorer in system/app to uninstall a sytem app wich this is because it cam with the rom.
2.Search google I don't use ilauncher
3.There is a iphone keyboard on the market
1- depends on u. if u want u can uninstall it. no harms done. but ONLY unistall it after u install your preferable launcher.
2- in layman term, u cant. but for advance answer is yes, by getting your hands dirty and decompiling apk and replacing icon in it. and dont ask me howto do it. easier just use any launcher that include app icon theme eg qqlauncher, go launcher, 360 launcher etc.
3- search in market. many thirdparty keyboard got iphone theme.

Do I decompiling the .APK icon before installing the app or after and I choose the option Delete in Root Explorer to uninstall LauncherPro?
Just realized that iLauncher has the function to change apps icon
P.S - Do I place iLauncher .APk in System apps or install it in CWM?
u can copy it via root explorer to system/app but set permisions rr-w and reboot

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

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium[/QUOTE]
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
Sorry for my english
Is it ever safe to install a launcher from the PlayStore and uninstall the default launcher in the ROM?
What could possibly be the consequences? Will any additional mods that I install to the ROM get disabled?
Yes, it is safe. But i suggest you not unistall default launcher, just freeze in titanium

Yes it's absolutely safe... I have installed apex launcher instead of trebuchet in CM10 by FXP
And its much better and has more customization options...
I suggest you copy trebuchet apk from root menu and then replace it by nova or apex launcher :thumbup:

Sure, but don't uninstall it. Just use the other one as default. Otherwise if you do a factory reset you have no launcher
That's great. Also, which Launcher is suggested which uses less resources and has a lot of options.
Personally, I like GoLauncher but it scares me to see how much resources it uses...

That's what I thought. Have been trying out different launchers and this one is cool...way better than GoLauncher

DON'T DO IT! Your new launcher will be in data partition whereas your default launcher will be present in system partition! Factory reset will result in bootloop. If you desperately want to get rid of the stock launcher then mount the system partition writable and move the downloaded launcher to /system/app and then you can safely uninstall the default launcher!
Hit thanks if I have helped!

it is completely safe to uninstall the default launcher.
but i freeze it instead of uninstalling it.
Good to know this, maybe i'll change the default launcher of CM if I reinstall it again on my SK17i
Hmmm...thanks a lot for the tips guys
Hi gus iam new here .

Now i want to delete this apk and back to my original android system.
thnks​
Ummm how about open app management in phone setting and uninstall from there? Or open its playstore page and click uninstall button?

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?
