Are there any benefits of converting nova launcher into a system app?
Does it make it faster? More Stability?
Inputs would be highly appreciated..
Meh, doesn't really make a difference. ROM cooks usually puts it in /system if they're using it as the main ROM launcher, but there aren't any advantages for a normal user. You can do it if you want to, though

Just download a new launcher (Nova, Apex or whatever you prefer), delete the stock Sony launcher from system/app, and you're done. No cooking is needed, but you'll need root.
Thank you very much , You're a star ,I am glad i don;t have to go to the kitchen
restart
If you do get rid of the stock launcher and u put lets say the google kitkat launcher google placed on the play store in the /system app folder and u need to reseat the device would the os install the launcher in the app folder or would it not touch it so when it starts up there is no user face, and if so how can u put aosp launcher back onto it and where would u find the launcher?

Hi guys, I would really like to go back to a stock rom, but the launcher is what is stopping me. For instance, on my AOS rom i have the adw launcher as default, and i can disable the dock bar. I was wandering then, since I would like to install a deodexed stock rom, can i just put adw launcher in the app folder and delete the stock one before flashing it? The silly question is: when the default launcher is missing from the rom, does the os know that adw is the right one then? or is the launcher some kind of "special" app and its implementation is harder than that? thank you in adwance for your answers.
Just put the adw. Apk fike in system/app.
Then change permissions of that adw.apk to rw-r-r( all shud be ticked under read and only the first row shud b ticked under write.) Then press ok and reboot phone. And ur work shud b done.:thumbup:

Thank u, that explains me how to do when i have already a rom installed...is it possible to do it also before flashing it?
U can do it. But when u install a new rom it will obviously not exist. So no point in doing this before flashing a new rom

Hi.
I just installed official ICS on my SGS2 and must say i was a bit disapointed about the look.
I really dont like Touchwiz...
I have tried CM9 and Resurrection lately and like the look.
I can use Nova launcher on the official Rom,so i can create maps..
BUT i cant get the nice icons in the dock,like stock ics themed icons as Phone,contacts,SMS etc...
So i wonder how i can get those icons in the dock,like in Resurrection?
Hope somebody can tell me,cause now im stuck with Touchwiz icons in the dock and they are not nice.
Feel the same

Sammy just blew it. I feel the same, touchwiz made ICS look as last year stuff. I'm very disappointed with the upgrade and looking for a more ICSistic experience

Can someone make and CWM .zip Update that places the Stock Samsung ROM ICS Framework-res.apk file where must be?
I copy/paste another .apk over the stock one and now dont have UI, it just Boot Logo, and it freezes there ¬¬
And no, i dont wanna have to Format and erase everything and install the rom again
Anyone can help?
EDIT: I was thinking, CWM makes backup OF current Freeze after boot logo. So then i install the same rom again CLEAN, and then backup it > i select on CWM Restore the current Freeze after Boot logo rom with all data and apps and THEN i choose Advanced Backup and restore the Stock ICS backup but only the system? That will work?

the apk that you want is mostly located in /system/app
Hello,
I currently use Jeally Beans custom rom.
On this rom and the stock one,
if I create a folder and add stuff into it, and copy that folder to home (the shortcut menu, i dont know the proper name of it)
the original folder and the shortcut is not syncing.
I found GO launcher does this, but not the rom i'm using right now.
GO launcher uses so much battery (I have seen %15-20)
So i dont want GO L.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Its really sad that original android developers still did not include this in stock rom.

You cannot flash Google app packs on Touchwiz ROM (but I'm not 100% sure ) If you want to remove these apps install ES File Explorer or something similar, give it root privileges, find tab with system apps and uninstall ones you don't want.

If it is compatible with your device, I recommend EpsilROM. It does not come with those kind of GApps and is stock based
