If you changed to the 4x5 launcher then you need to revert back to stock and retry the OTA. Don't delete the modified seclauncher2.apk just rename it.
It worked for me.
1 note, if you get back into android after the update with no laughter you will need open an app from the lock screen then hold the home button so you can open Google now then rape root by searching for voodoo, then use Google now to find your file explorer and return the seclauncher2.apk to the previous modified one.

Edit: market installation
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot

A noob question but How to install the market?
Take the market apk and put it into the system apps using root explorer or something like it

hey,
that method leads to FC's and installing the apk leads to app not being installed.

The same thing happens to me when I try to install the Swype app....
Thanks for the link. How the heck do I get it to work without the constant force closes?
make sure it's named vendor.apk and change permissions to fit the other system apps.

Thanks for the market tips. Everything worked fine. My biggest problem is with the swype. f/c's start when I reboot phone. Running CM stable for vibrant. Don't know how to fix...
Good news, I updated to CM nightly 168 and the FC problem stopped for now.
The given links lead to Error 404 page at dropbox site. Are the links still working or I need to enter login information?

If you having problems installing the swype apk... you can use Ti backup to uninstall swype, then reboot (important). install swype directly through "files" app or "my files". Worked for me!!
you guys realize that swype updates itself through the settings>input>swype settings> ..
right??? I guess its after the last update mines been updating
Any themes around?

I just want to use Trebuchet on the senseless roms I download, but I don't want Apex installed. Can I just switch out the APK or is there more to the process?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
You should just be able to push the trebuchet apk into /system/app, set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and then delete the apex apk and you should be all set
Hi all,
Can i replace the stock home.apk with the apex launcher apk? Or is the standard home needed on stock rom?

As far as I know, you can replace, but if you do a factory reset then, it could be that the needed home.apk isn't there, so you have to flash firmware again using flashtool, cause phone boots up and there's no home.apk (someone here had this problem!).
Wouldn't do it, you can choose which you want to have as default, why uninstalling home.apk?!
Cause it takes memory...
Thx for the advice!

Hey you can move the stock home.apk to sd card. When you don't need apex launcher anymore then copy back the home.apk to system. Thats easy

I've had re-customized many custom roms zip files for my fitting. Generally I always delete the default launcher in /system/app and replace it with HoloLauncher which is less than a megabyte. Android is smart enough to default to the third party launcher even if the default isn't present.

Yes it is, but as pointed out by mihahn, if you ever do a factory reset on the go, you'll be proper screwed unless you:
- keep home.apk somewhere (prefferably a flashable zip)
- have a computer so you can "adb push" it into system/app
Yes it happened to me once. Not anymore!
Hmmmm....no need to remove/delete default Home from system or make a flashable zip incase of something wrong....
just frozen/disable the default Home from system....when you do factory reset, default Home will enable again....
remember this method only works if you have install other Home launcher such as Apex, Holo and etc and made them as default launcher...then only then you can disable default Home Launcher...

I have a rooted HTC Droid Eris with CM7 installed. I am new to the android game a long time Windows Phone hold out. Question?? If I want to customize the CM7's launcher all I have to do is remove the ADW launcher.apk file and then copy a new launcher apk file in the \system\app folder. Then flash the ROM. If this is so, can i add any apk file I want and delete any apk file I want without having to modify anything else in the zip folder.

you will need root.
First, open root explorer.
then go to "system", "app"
put the launcher you want in there.(apk)
then find your stock launcher(its in "system "app") and move it to your sd card.
exit. you will be in the launcher you want. if your phone crash...do a factory reset...aka hard reset...
it worked for me...tell me the results...no gaurantee it will work...and i am not responsibly for any thing that happen to your phone...
make sure you do a back up before doing this...
you can use the trebuchet launcher if you want...its similar to apex...

I am running MIUI on CDMA and I do not like Google search w. Google now. I used root unisntaller to delete the app off the ROM and installed an .apk I had saved. The problem is when I reboot my phone the original app restores is there a way to permanently keep it the way I want it?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Try this. Go into system/ app folder click on the apk's properties and uncheck all the permissions then delete apk and reboot. Let me know if that helps.
Can some one share the stock mms apk? I was trying to manually install the version from Team Blackout and accidentally overwrote the stock mms apk. The AOSP mms.apk crashes when trying to send text even though I deleted the apps data(could not clear cache for some reason) so going to revert to stock for now.
I need it for VRUAME7 btw.

I tried to use this apk and it won't install is there a way to get it to work?

Uou need root access and copy it to /system/app and reboot. System apks are not normally signed so they wont install with a simple tap tap.
Thanks!!!!
