Hi. im working on my own rom, but since i am a n00b when it comes to android development, i would like some help on this.
im making a rom using stock as base. i would like to know how to remove the sense launcher overall and replace it with another launcher like Nova or something.
Thanks in advance!

Hello kite, what you need to do is install apex or nova, then adb pull /data/app
In your adb folder, you'll see either an app folder or the apps themselves.
Nova would be "com.teslacoil.launcher" or something. You should be able to tell which is which.
Any app pulled is usually "com" then the developer account, then whatever.
Just rename it to Nova.apk or Apex.apk.
Put it in your system/app folder.
To remove the Sense launcher, delete Rosie.apk.
Don't forget to press my thanks button if I helped you!

No problem dude, if you need more help just ask.
When you finish the ROM, I recommend you publish it to XDA.
Good luck and have fun!

So, in my custom ROM (based on cm nightly), I want to set a theme (which is an apk) as the default theme when the ROM boots up. Like, I have ics theme apk in the rom and when i flash rom and boot up for the first time, the default theme should be ics...not cyanbread or system theme.
Thanks for the help!
Bump, anyone?

Kinda nooby to ask... themed rom...
You could try to grab /system/data/themechooser and include in your ZIP, otherwise, spit the forum Chef central > Android.
I'm quite active there, I replied there also.
Greets!

I prefer people to reply to me and give feedback instead of thanking me!
But thanking me does show if you apreciate my works.

My ROM already has themechooser!...I am asking how to set a theme .apk as default theme?
You have to get themechooser.apk sources and modify the code with the name of the theme you want to be default. Then you compile it and put in your ROM.

thanks man...that worked like a charm
figured id post some of the universal/unthemed mods i make as i create my rom..
all of these are made with the shipped VRALJB apps/framework this is not taking other apps from different phones these are fresh mods..
u will have to use a root explorer and move these to /system/app or /system/framework and then delete the .odex version of the file(temporary til we get recovery)
first up is 5x4 launcher
download: http://myandroidfiles.com/beanstown106/i605/vraljb/mods/SecLauncher2.apk
move to /system/app and then delete SecLauncher2.odex
more will follow as they are made

Is there a way to revert if you didnt save the launcher that was overwritten?

I'm really excited about this, but i'm not sure if it's going to work. After i moved it to the system/app folder and removed the .odex version, when i press the home button, only my launchers from the market are shown as options. the stock browser is completely gone. is that normal? does it need a reboot?

Yes. You have to reboot first before you can use the modded launcher.

Thank you, but the problem was actually me being a moron and thinking using es file explorer with root access turned on would work the same as root explorer. It set up the new launcher with the wrong access permissions. i restored my backup of the original launcher with TiBU and tried it again with root explorer and now it works perfectly! Thanks to the OP for creating this great launcher mod, and you for your help!

Anyway we could get a 6x4 or 6x5 or resize all widgets? Lol

Is this mirrored somewhere or do I just need to be patient? Getting a 'Bandwidth Limit Exceeded' message on the download link
Yes a 6 x 5 Launcher would be dope.
Do we need root to use this?

I think that this site is what you need
http://www.downloadonline.info/2013/02/23/lghome3-theme-download/
I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but what exactly is the LGhome3 and what will change if I use one of the one's that where linked above me? I see there is LGhome.JB4.apk and some others. I think i have an idea what LGhome3 is, but i guess im not exactly sure. Lol. Thanks in advance.

LGHome3 is the version of the LGHome Launcher that as far as I know, LG make it for ICS and partially upgraded with the 4.1.2 upgrade (It just add some wallpapers and some basic changes to the widgets). The LGHome.JB4.apk that you saw was a port from somebody in the community to make it available for 4.2 since the other versions FC and wouldn't work properly. Currently that port works partially and for 4.2 and FC when you try some things.
You can also see another version of the LGHome in the market called Simple Home by LGElectronics ( http://goo.gl/7eAVz ) and I think it was the version 2 since it doesn't have an app drawer, don't came with the widgets and it's compatible with Froyo 2.2.
About the themes you were looking for, LGHome has themes since version 2. Some carriers like AT&T block all the themes (I don't know why!) or only left 1 or 2 in their deploy, but they could be found at the Korean and Japanese ROMs.
Looking for a LGHome port to 4.2 I found some themes that work at http://goo.gl/bjjjr
Also found this other page where there's a link to download 10 themes for the LGHome at http://goo.gl/mKeIm
Please take note that to those themes to work properly they have to be installed in the /System/App folder (Need root access) and not in the /Data/App folder where the apps normally install when you use the installation wizard opening the apk directly. The links I provided previously have a very good tutorial of how to install them in a way that they work.
Anyway, LGHome is a very good launcher but if you are looking for another experience about themes and changing the appearance try another launchers like Nova and Apex that will give you a very Nexus 4 feeling and are very good saving battery life. Also you can use Go Launcher that have a lot of free themes. Or if you want to make huge changes or get very different experience check buzz launcher or MiHome that have some really good themes and some crazy stuff.
Go out there and try them all and every time you want to try something different, have more than 1 working launcher installed just in case and make backup of everything you overwrite in case you damage something.
Good luck.
^^ wow. That was one of the best replies I've gotten on here! Excellent! Thank you very much for the great information. That was above and beyond helpful. Thanks again. Cheers :beer:

How did you get it to work? Did you simply install or did you move to /system/app and set permissions? I did the latter and it didn't work. :-\

Hey pal! Simply install the APK like you would any other downloaded application. You don't have to move a thing to /system/app. Let me know if that works for you.
I'm looking for the sgs 4 launcher because till now I did't found a launcher that I like.
(in go launcher it is little hard to move through pages, holo launcher is a boring launcher).
anyway I looked over XDA and all I have found is a zip file that I installed through recovery but somehow even that it told me that the launcher was installed I couldn't find it on my player.
So I will be glad if someone of you guys will help me to find that launcher.
Thanks ahead!

If you're looking for some Lauchers, look here.
I found another Laucher, for Gingerbread, which you can find here.
If you have Jelly Bean, you can try to install this.
