When you reboot your device, do all the settings from the launcher go back to default again? Because I had that problem with that TW4 launcher on my YP-G1, so i stopped using it.

I use ADW EX as my default launcher so the fact that TW4 settings were reset didn't bother me.

I used the directions from the linked site (first quote).
Download and extract the zip file.
You must be rooted.
You will see basically two files in app directory and lib directory.
Using Root Explorer, I made a copy of the twlauncher30.apk and twlauncher30.odex from system/app to my external card for safe keeping for just in case.
Now using root explorer, delete the old twlauncher30.apk and twlauncher30.odex files and copy and paste the new twlauncher30.apk (TW4) to system/app folder. Change the permissions of the file to match the other files. It should be rw-r--r--. Note that you must be in r/w mode to delete and paste and change permissions in this folder.
Now copy and paste the /lib file from the download to system/lib (same deal... you must be in r/w mode). Change the permissions to match the other files in this folder.
Now reboot and you should be seeing the new TW4 launcher in action.
I am not sure how to activate the gestures still though...

PM me. I can email you the file.
I'm running newtoroot's senseless 4.0.3 and am loving it. The one problem that was bugging me was the fact that there was no dictionary accompanied with the keyboard, and it would say every word that you typed is incorrect. Well I found a fix.
1. Download these two files: LatinImeGoogle.apk & LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk
2. Put the apk's onto your sd card
3. Copy the apk's
4. Navigate to /system/app and paste the apk's into the directory
5. Rename (or delete) the file titled "LatinIME.apk"
6. You now have a working dictionary for your keyboard!

I must be having a brain fart moment. I tried with astro and root explorer and it says the system/app is a read only and will not let me copy them over. Help?
Is this an adb only mod?

Go to /system/app in Root Explorer and hit the R/W button.

Spell check does not work with the Russian language, with only five standard languages.
Additional dictionaries can only work correctly with auto-correction
Apparently, the spell checker uses the same dictionaries as the auto-correction, but to check the spelling was not announced additional languages
Who can tell about this problem? ;-)
I can't seem to paste nor rename the default apk file in the /system/app folder. I checked the SU, and ES Explorer has been granted the (root) permission.. What did I do wrong??

In ES, use the menu system to remount as R/W then try again. Even with root you're still limited to a read-only file system unless you do that.

I tried it, buy ni my case it doesn't work
before this try, my tablet was sign almost every words in red (except some name, or some word)
now, my tablet, doesn't make any king of spelling check :-(
but the "automatic correction" is enabled in the system setting
Why? some one can help?
is this the reason why swype doesnt give me a choice of words anymore?
Thanks!
Took me a while to get r/w to system/apps but once there the T9 and massively irritating underlining of every word has gone.
Awesome thank you so much.

so to load a new launcher for root users:
1. Root Your Device!
2. Using a root explorer like es file explorer or root explorer mount system R/W
3. Grab the all for whatever you want from wherever you have it, and just copy it into you /system/app/ folder
4. Re-name the "Launcher.apk" application in the /system/app/ to "Launcher1.apk"
5. Voila you can now use any launcher in the system app folder-->note you may need to reboot

There is no need to rename the launcher.apk. After another launcher is installed you will be given the choice of which launcher you want to set as default, you can change back to stock launcher by clearing the defaults of the custom launcher. Better to not change system files if you dont have to. After you move the new launcher to system/app folder change the permissions to rw-r--r--.

Would you need to rename the new launcher to anything special, or is setting these permissions and/or placing into this directory enough?

Alright,
1st, device spoofer will cause BOOTLOOPS!!!! so don't buy!
(I learned this the hard way)
so this isn't really a mod but if you boot-looped your device by messing with build.prop than here is a quick fix:
1.Make sure you have adb set up nice for your fire by following the amazon developers @ https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/getting-started.html AND that you have the orignal build.prop file
Make sure you read the entire page verbatim, especially if your a mac user, because all the answers are either on the page or in the links
2.You either will need to have temp root or have already been rooted.
3. Make sure the device is actually reaching adb, check this by waiting until the sparkly kindle fire logo comes up, and then doing adb devices
4. Down to Business: Turn on the fire and wait until you reach sparkly kindle fire logo.
5.Navigate to platform-tools folder and place your original build.prop file there
6.type
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv build.prop /system/build.prop
exit
exit
reboot
7. If you already kept a backup of the original build.prop file on the device, than change the mv line to
Code:
mv /system/build.prop.bak /system/build.prop
-->and there ya go, post if you have problems

Hi,
Will this replace this awful carousel thing ? And therefore, redirect the home button ?
Sorry, i'm not a native english speaker, i don't understand the "Grab the all for whatever you want from wherever you have it".
Does it mean that i copy the new launcher's apk file to /system/app/ ? And do i have to install the new launcher ?
Thanks

Download a launcher from the play store
With a file manager move the apk from /data/app/ folder (It will be named differently than you are used to, usually has the company or developers name instead) to /system/app/ folder then reboot.
No need to change permissions as they are the same coming from /data/app/ folder

Are there any alternates to the soft button bar like a stock jb one or something? Or can we not do that because of the odex? I know it's systemui.apk I tried installing a cm9 systemui.apk on my kf2 and system/app rwrr but on reboot all I got was black screen. I backed it up and restored it with adb so I know what i'm doing... for the most part. Sorry for an y random spaces or periods... swype doesn't like furious tapping on the kf2. Needless to say, I have swype as default keyboard and launcher pro as launcher.
Well, I tried the same wpthing with a similar result. My best guess is that it works off of framework res so...until there are custom ROMs we have to wait. But, I've been toying with an idea: if the favorite button on the saftbar was rewritten to display recent apps, e.g. that it always displays 8 apps from data list x, and data list x is a list constantly updated saying the most recent app. Then the app could be themed minorly to have the window over window PNG and voila: a little bit better stock ROM. My problem is that I'm not a coder of any kind, so its a slow process.

I could try to edit it for you. I don't have a Kindle Fire HD, so you'll have to upload me the framework-res.apk and test it for me. Make sure you backup before you test it though.

Has anyone figured out or tried to replace or disable stock search and get Google search to work. I've tried a few things with no luck. I would also like Google now.
For Google search, it's really tedious.
For it to work you have to rename the stock search to iforgothenameofit.apk.bak
Than you have to grab the Google search app from jelly bean gapps via goo.I'm, and push it to the system/app folder with permissions rw-r--r--
Than you have to push all the framework files, permission files, basically any other non-apk file to the folder of which it belongs.(you can get this from the whole zip file that you got from goo.I'm
MAKE SURE THAT EVERY FILE YOU PUT IN THE SYSTEM DIRECTORY HAD PERMISSION RW-R--R--
*This can actually be done with a root explorer fairly easily

Hi Guys,
I want to know if we can use Samsung Galaxy Grand's keyboard app (samsungIME.apk) on Samsung Galaxy S2?
The reason I'm asking this is that I like the additional row for numbers that can be accessed easily. I know that there are few threads with the same topic but all of them focus on using the note 2's keyboard app. I'm asking for Grand's keyboard app because S2 and Grand have the same screen resolution 480 x 800 (although the screen sizes are different). I'm not sure if this will help in better compatibility and less rework on the porting.
Guy I need help here. Please come out and lets make it a success. I want to keep things as close to stock as possible. Can someone post the stock keyboard app (samsungIME.apk) from Samsung Galaxy Grand?
Here you go the ported s note 2 keyboard
https://www.box.com/shared/kefoo20qp43fubnji061
Is working only on stock rom.
and you should know that galaxy grand keyboard and note 2 kb are the same
here's a link to clarifying you
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_grand_i9082-review-903p6.php
scroll to the bottom and you'll see the proof
I tried to use the apk you have provided but it didn't worked. It is still the same keyboard and there is no additional row with numbers. This is what I did after taking a backup of my original samsungime.apk and samsungime odex from system/app :
1# First I tried to install the apk like a normal app. It didn't get installed, pretty obvious.
2# I tried to copy the apk into system/ app folder using root browser lite. Reboot. it is still the same old keyboard.
3# I tried to change the permission, similar to other system apps in system/app folder. Reboot. Its still the same old keyboard.
Can you tell me how to get it done correctly.

Any Luck with working Grand Keyboard ?
having problem with your link, it says you have a bandwidth restriction , can you post a mirror, thanks
Here are some custom themed Note Pro Keyboard apk files with screen shots available for download. Mikep2323 and I have been working on different themes and will post more as they become available. To install, just download the apk, change the name to SamsungIME.apk. Then using a file explorer of your choice (with superuser privilege) backup and delete the original apk from system/app and replace with a themed apk. Reboot, then with your file explorer navigate to the apk click on it and install with package installer. Once that is done you will need to go to settings/controls and enable Samsung keyboard as primary input and download your language dictionary in the keyboard settings.

I dont think so cause there both named SamsungIME.apk.You can always just rename one and keep them both in system/apps then change back and fourth if you wanted.I usually name the original one org.SamsungIME.apk then put the themed one in and if i want to change back to original i just change the names around reboot and original one is back there.Hope this helps.
