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.

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 have set VTL Launcher as my default launcher but, recently every time I start the GTab up I get the question which launcher do I want to use as my default launcher. Any suggestions?
Did VTL come with your rom or did you install it (from market or side load). I ask because if you installed it from the market or side loaded it, you may want to try moving the .apk to /system/app. You can use a root file manager or ADB to do this, make sure the permissions are correct (same as other apps in that folder) then reboot. Hopefully it will only ask you one more time for your default launcher. Also uninstall any other launchers you aren't using and go to settings->applications->VTL Launcher and clear defaults if any are set before you reboot.
Hi,
First sorry for my poor English. I'm new on this forum although I'm registered in it a month ago. I've been reading and trying to understand all before posting this post.
I'm using this CM10.1 on my ST5570 (S. Galaxy Mini) and want change Trebuchet Launcher system launcher with NOVA launcher on this release. I can't post on the thread linked above because I haven't yet permissions to do this.
Any help will be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance..

Hi!
Install Nova, than in Titanium Backup delete Trebuchet (i think this is the name of the launsher app), or after install the Nova go to any file explorer (for example ES File Explorer) with root permission, and delete the app from there (/system/app/Trebuchet.apk).
Good luck!
Cheers!

Thanks a lot! I will try it!!
I've tried it with Titanium Backup and it works!!
Thanks a lot.
you probably should leave trebuchet on it, in case you accidently remove nova, when there's no launcher you can't use the phone
How do I change the default launcher in a zip rom NOT after flashing, before. I already searched but it seems that most just suggest to delete stock launcher and put preferred launcher in system/app or system/priv-app . I did those but after flashing, systemUI just crash. I'm trying to replace CM11 Trebuchet launcher
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.
