Hello,
I've just installed a custom rom (Pffitech 4.0.4) but it did not come with a Myfiles app. I've tried downloading it but whenever I try to install it, it says application not installed. I would need it because when i try to customise my alarm or notification tones, I cannot choose from my own sounds because it tries to load myfiles and fails.
Also, how can I resize the Accuweather widget on Touchwiz ux? I have tried long pressing it as with the old touchwiz but it does not work
Thanks

There are other alternatives to Myfiles I use Astro or Root Explorer and find them much better.
Myfiles is annoying Samsung bloatware in my opinion

1.
Myfiles.apk is a system application and wont install like a normal app.
You need to copy it to /system/app and then set the permissions to rw-r-r (644) using a root capable file manager like Solid explorer and Es file manager (both free)
There also very good and probably much better alternatives in Playstore.
2.
I don't use Touchwiz UX but it may be a bug in the ported launcher since it was not originally meant for our phone.
there are very good alternative launchers too in the playstore. You can even apply Touchwiz UX theme to most of those launchers. Apex, Nova, Holo launcher HD and Go launcher Ex, are good examples

hey guys,
I current flashed the litening rom and it gives me launcher pro as default launcher
and i removed it by deleting the lancherpro apk file using ROOT EXPLORER as I downloaded the launcherpro plus and tried to install it with astro but it says: application not installed! any idea?
Dodgy apk maybe? Make sure LP is uninstalled correctly in applications.

Did you reboot in between the two tasks? Sometimes it requires a reboot. Also before deleting the original did you make something else as your default launcher (ie TW)?
do u have the standard launcher (tw launcher) still installed?
THanks guys i need to reboot lol peace
I use cm10 which has Trebuchet launcher as the default launcher.
As this launcher has limited number of customizations i want it to be replaced by the Apex launcher.
How to delete the Trebuchet launcher and replace it with the apex launcher before flashing the ROM?
Hi mate,
You can either open the ROM zip file, go to: /system/app and copy there the apex apk or better(if you ask me..) just download the apex launcher after flashing the rom and choose it to be default.
If for some reason you want to delete it, you can use root explorer to locate and delete the trebuchet apk from the path above.
*Don't forget to give the root explorer root access if you use the second method.
Cheers.
Hi all,
Successfully reflashed my Xperia U with CM9-ZIII. It looks pretty awesome and runs about 10 times faster than before. Nice work.
However I get this error message: "TeslaUnread rejecting unofficial 'Nova Launcher' Please uninstall it and install only the official version."
I have TeslaUnread version 2.3 (as in ROM)
When I try and update NovaLauncher I see "Error. Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
Am I the only one that's seeing this? Why am I seeing this? How do I uninstall and reinstall Nova Launcher?

This happens if U install Nova Launcher Prime out of PlayStore and Tesla works only for Nova launcher prime..
Check whether you have downloaded NovaPrime launcher from googleplay or installed form sd card..
If from SDCARD, no solution..
Well that was the thing I didn't install Nova Prime it seemed to come with the ROM image. Perhaps its an older version? It would be good if the ROM builder could reply.
The solution I eventually found:
Install a different launcher from Play Store. I chose Apex.
Install a file manager app. I think ES File Manager was the one I picked.
Using the file manager tool delete \system\apps\Nova.apk
Restart and download Nova Launcher free version.
TeslaUnread doesn't work with Nova Launcher free. I think it will if you install another widgets manager or something. I haven't got that far yet.

Well. Now u got that...
I dont think whether it will support for other launchers...
I have succesfully changed some icons stock apps to marshmallow ones
This is not a big change but hey it's something.
v1 includes:
-Music Player
-Internet Browser
-Messages
-Calculator
-Video Player
Im not sure it will work on every case because it will add the apk but wont delete the old one so if a app afer flashing is not seen anywhere delete the old apk of that app in system/app or system/priv-app depending on the app
Flash it using recovery like TWRP
Make sure to make a back up

Hi guys,
I'm using a Huawei P9 with firmware EVA-L09C432B386 and I'm trying to convert Apex/Nova launcher to system app. It's because the phone wouldn't allow you to use certain widgets such as weather on third party launcher.
I moved both Apex and Nova folder from /data/app to /system/app and change the permission to Owner RW/Group R/Other R. But after rebooting the phone, the already installed launcher apps were missing. I couldn't find them in the drawer or "Settings - Apps" but only in the /system/app folder, however I couldn't launch or install them from the folder anyway.
Then I tried to use Titanium Backup to convert them to system apps, it just stuck in the "processing" forever. So I shut down the Titanium and reboot the phone, then go into the /system/app folder and there's an launcher apk there, I installed it but it just couldn't function properly.
Do you guys know any other way to convert them to system app, or what I did wrong in the process? Any input would be appreciated.
Ever wonder why no custom ROMs use said launchers as default? Coz you can't.
