[APP] Modified LewaLauncher for MIUI ROM's(Launcher w/ AppDrawer) - EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps

What is it:
This is a modified version of the launcher from the latest LewaOS rom. It's modded to work with MIUI's theme engine(so you should be running a Gingerbread MIUI Rom).

}
Background:
Every since I seen this video I wanted it for MIUI. The LewaOS launcher is pretty close to it, so I decided why not try to mod it and maybe learn a few things in the process.
Known bugs:
1. Positioning of the text under the folder icon is offset compared to the rest of the app icons(still trying to figure this out).
2. The expanded folders background doesn't change(MIUI folder backgrounds are just a single large image and Lewa depends on .9 images)
3. The launcher crashes after applying a theme, but hitting home again restarts the launcher with the theme applied(still trying to figure this out).
Warnings:
This will NEED to replace the default launcher, so make sure you do a nandroid backup incase you don't like it.
Usage:
I just push it with ADB...
Code:
adb push Path/To/Modded/Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk
If you receive an error about the launcher2.apk already existing or permissions, remount system as RW....
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /system

Or they could just put the apk in their platform-tools folder then
cd ( to platform-tools ) for me its
cd android/android-sdk/platform-tools
adb remount
adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
Most of the talented devs push while in recovery and im guessing its for proper perms to be set on a push, because when i push and the OS is still running on reboot i get rw-rw-rw set as perms. Rather than the rw-r-r permisssions that system apps use

Thats probably a good idea, I'm still new to everything. I was just pushing from the directory I was compiling the apk in. And pushed while the phone was still up and running so I could see my changes right away.

I'll have to try this out. The only complaint I ever had against MIUI was the absence of an App Drawer in their launcher.

Yeah same here, it just takes too long to move everything where you want it

wallpapers
I try to apply wallpapers but it keeps saying: application not found

---

Is there a way u can install without adb push?

Use root explorer to move it to system/app then long press the apk and change permissions to rw-r-r.
So the first line in the check box has 2 checks
Second line has one
Third line has one

Hey bro its not detecting MIUI themes on my sd card, its still showing me Lewa themes... why

You install it on a miui rom, and apply miui themes as u normally would on an miui rom(through the miui theme app).

ok so I must be on miui rom for this to work?
cant this work on a non miui rom, can u make it work om cm7?
also, could u share what changes u dis to the launcher, i want to learn it too

I can not remember exactly what changes were made. I decompiled the apk. Edited the xmls to point towards resource names that miui themes use. Edited some xmls to change the layout dimensions slightly. And I had to edit some .smali's as well to get things working right.

I do remember that miui applies icon backgrounds to individual apps, and lewa themes do it through the launcher. So I had to edit some smalis so it wouldn't apply backgrounds in the launcher.

can this not work on non miui rom? i want so badly
miui themes look much cooler, i could still use milauncher to apply them but the launcher lags on my device, lewa launcher iss pretty smooth compared to it.

---

Its meant for MIUI ROMS ONLY. It does not apply themes at all, so it cannot even be modified for your purposes. All thats changed is that it allows miui's theme engine to apply miui themes to it. So you must be using a ROM that ALREADY works with MIUI's theme engine(e.g. an MIUI ROM).

can you please add ldpi compatibility?
