Remove default widgets! - Dell Venue

Hi guys,
I am trying to create an update.zip, with stuffs from TheManii's 408 deodexed package. Since I decided that my phone won't contain any useless stock app, I decided to remove GoogleQuickSearch.apk, also use ADWLauncher as my default desktop replacement.
The problem is, my update.zip can be flashed successfully using CWM, but ADW reports "Problem loading widget" in its default screen, since GoogleQuickSearch is not there.
Could you please let me know how to adjust default ROM widget settings (e.g. I guess that there should be some settings some where that helps me removing GoogleQuickSearch from launcher by default).

Remove the broken widget and manually place a new one, this isnt specific to any launcher.
Any time it tries to load a widget that's not there/frozen you might have to place a fresh one if it doesnt fix itself when it should otherwise.

TheManii,
Yes, I know that the issue is not specific for any launcher. What I meant was, I do not want QuickSearch, so how to get rid of the error message when I remove it?
Is there any place in the ROM I could edit (e.g. a configuration file) so that Venue/ROM/launcher realizes that I do not want the widget to be loaded?

It should be possible, but also keep in mind that there's no hard, standardized layout for their config files. Each launcher could store the widget settings in their own manner and there's many different launchers.
Perhaps you should consider asking your launcher maker to add a setting to automatically remove uninstalled widgets, but from a user perspective your only real choice is to manually remove them.

[Q] Get any TouchWiz-Style Launcher on VillainROM

Hi All,
as you may see, I'm new to XDA and even though I'm familiar with linux, I'm new to the whole Android thing. I successfully flashed VillainROM onto my SGA and noticed that I don't like the stock gingerbread launcher. So I tried to get any TouchWiz-Style launcher on my phone:
I tried the "TouchWiz Launcher for Gingerbread [V4]":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049501
I had to replace the "update-binary", but finally it doesn't match the screen size of the sga and moreover it always crashes when I'm trying to start any app.
I also tried the "Honeycomb" theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104335
Some icons and the general menu style changed, but the launcher didn't change - could that be because I couldn't figure out how to install that "minimal.zip"-file?
I somewhere grabbed "TW4_for_Tab - 182dpi.zip" of which I thought it was made for the sga, but it failed to install.
Besides, I tried some other TouchWiz (4) mods of which I can't find the reference anymore. Some of them didn't install (the well-known "error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip") even with a replaced "update-binary", so that wasn't a success either.
I figured out how to mount the unmodified 2.3.3 Samsung-ROM and could access the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk - but I didn't try to move it to my system folder because it isn't de-odexed - is it a problem to put a non-de-odexed apk (and it's .odex) onto a generally de-odexed phone?
Now I'd like to know if there is any easily usable TouchWiz I could use. Some enhanced version of TouchWiz with additional features would be nice, but I think I would also be satisfied with the unmodded Samsung TouchWiz.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] FTS 2.4 ROM & Launcher Unlock

Hello all,
i can't unlock Launcher Pro to Plus version. I bought Plus version unlocker in market, but app still locked (also after restart, reboot). Has anyone had the same problem? Thank you.
F.
You probably have some other problem that's showing up with these symptoms.
I use L-Pro on stock 173, and I've used it on the ICS leak (where adding widgets becomes difficult due to no text beside the widget icons).
L-Pro is what I typically use, regardless of the image I'm using.
Did you use TiBU to "freeze" things on your phone? Try thawing those out, one by one, and see if the problem goes away. That's the usual source of "random" problems...
This is because i've pushed launcher pro to install as a system app. Don't use the unlocking program request a key, that it's if the developer still contactable.
Other option, install another launcher, then move lpp to /data reboot and it will function correctly.

Thank you FTS, worked
Moved home.apk from system/app to data/app, then uninstall in market, install again from market and unlocker working now.

[Q] Phone stuck with an error message at boot

Hi all,
I've sort of bricked my new razr this morining after a reboot...
after reading the thread about trebuchet, I saw that it is adviced to put it in the system folder of the ROM. I then did the same with my current launcher to improve the speed of it (I don't know at all if this is a good solution but I wanted to test anyway).
Problem now is that my launcher force close at phone boot with a basic message saying that the launcher has stopped and a single 'ok' button. when I press 'ok' the same message appear again after a few milli seconds and does not allow me to launch any task.
Then I guess that the only solution for me is to re-upload my ROM (Motorola Razr latest OTA) and that this will suppress my launcher in the system folder but I wanted to share this experience because maybe someone could know a good solution.
Thanks for your help!
Can you go into system settings before boot and just change the launcher? Possible like this
go home, menu, settings, applications, manage applications, running, scroll down to find ADW launcher, open, scroll down and click clear defaults. then when you go home, it should give you a choice to pick your desired launcher. Be sure to check the box on the bottom of the choice box to set your default launcher to your desired choice.
Actually, the launcher started to crash before the system gave me the hand and allowed me to do anything. No way to perform any action with the phone (not any action, nothing was possible under the ROM itself)
Then I finally found some time to get my computer and re-upload the official ICS OTA ROM of the Razr. It had done basically 2 things (and one was the one I was expecting or hoping): lose the root (obviously) and lose the settings of the 2 apps I putted under the phone /system folder.
After that I removed the 2 apps that were installed on /system and changed my default launcher to stay safe :fingers-crossed: (done today, that's why I came back to the thread now)
Everything is ok now.
BTW, I discovered that in the worst case, it is possible to do a full wipe / factory reset under the official / native Razr recovery, and even better, it is possible to install a ROM under this recovery.
Everything is under control at the end.
Thanks for your answer!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Based on my research and countless trials of different ROMS, I must say the widgets are usually added with the ROM itself. And most of the time, if you are referring to widgets/apps from Sammy, these has to be installed separately IF it is not included in the ROM. I am not sure if it will work with CUSTOM ROMS(ROMS not based on Sammy) but I believe it does work with Sammy based rooted/dioxidized ROMS. Enough talking, try these at your own expense.....http://www.mobilegeek.it/2012/11/romow-v0-1-official-jelly-bean-dlib/
If there are any kind mods/experts/pros/old timers out there who wished to share and pass down some knowledge or correct any mistakes on my part, you are always welcome to do so....please.
******** I suggest you do more research on this as I am unsure what ROM you are using/whether it will work at all. Go to the link given and scroll down to "DOWNLOAD" section, there you will see Samsung APP Part1 and Samsung APP Part2. I am unsure of which apps/widgets is in which parts so I guess you have to try it yourself. I take reference from my current ROM (ROMOW N4 Jelly Bean 4.1.1) which is my current daily driver.******
Here are the instructions to install the Samsung Apps as found on the same page in the link given :
If you want to install some AppSamsung and all you have to do it this way:
-Download the zip file of the app Samsung
-Installed on your PC WinRAR or 7-zip
-Open the zip file with one of these programs (Warning, do not unpack, ONLY OPEN)
-Once you open the zip yourself in the folder "app" (system / app)
-Delete applications you do not want to install
-Once done close the zip (Just click on the X of the window)
-Upload the zip on your GS3
-Flash it via recovery
-Enjoy!

Very tiny fonts in some apps??

I recently flashed Clean 1.2 and that's when this started. I use these apps often, so I know it wasn't an issue until I changed roms. Not getting any assistance in the rom thread. Wondering if anyone has seen this.
I am using ADW. I switched back to stock TW and I get the same view in the apps on TW, so it's not the launcher causing this..I have reinstalled the apps and it still happens.
Here is SQLite
This is File Copy
I believe it's caused by modified touchwiz launcher such as the 5x6 format instead of the stock 4x4 format.
No idea how to fix other than going back to the stock config'd launcher.
