You can go into priv app and remove the .bak from launcher2. Then rename MotLauncher2.apk to MotLauncher2.apk.bak

If you've applied the widget, then you should see MotLauncher2 and launcher2 in the priv app folder. To undo it, add .bak to MotLauncher2 and set the permissions on Launcher2 to Rw-r-r

And yes, I searched, big time, but can't find it.
For ADW EX, I have 2 questions.
I downloaded a different language from here:
http://crowdin.net/project/adw-launcher-ex
-What do I do with the arrays.xml and strings.xml? I figured I have to replace them somewhere, but I cannot find them on my device.
-Also, did the option to change bin position disappear? I might be getting blind, but I really cannot find it anymore. I know for sure there was an option somewhere to change or remove bin position..
Somebody please?
Am I in the wrong forum or something? I cannot believe nobody knows the answers.. ADW is used a lot here, right?
For your second question in my adw ex launcher has the bin position option. I ain't for sure about the regular adw though.

OK with the new update theboption was removed with the new layout. For the second you need to recompile it to find those files. The are bundled in the resourses file in the apk that can only be edited by decompiling it.

It means you would need to use apktool to recompile the apk, swap the files out, recompile and then sign and install.

I'm looking for the live grass wallpaper that will work with ICS and CM9/AOKP. I've had it before that I extracted from a rom but I can't remember where I got it and I accidentally deleted it. Yes, I have searched until I am blue in the face...And no, I don't want the Beautiful widgets weather wallpaper instead.
Any feedback?
**Solved**
It has been ported for ICS use and is on the market here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.den.wallpaper
Why not just pull it again like you did before?
If it's the stock one I'm thinking, you should find it on almost any gingerbread rom/build.
That's what I was thinking but I can't find it for some reason now. I've flashed and re-flashed roms trying to find it and downloaded a number of them, extracted and looked through the zipped files in the rom for the APK. No luck.
I believe its called LiveWallpapersPicker.apk . I think that may be why u weren't finding it. Cause when i started looking out of curiosity there was nothing with grass in the name. But the icon next to that .apk is a picture of grass . So i think that's it. I know Serendipity has it in.
Edit: in /system/apps obviously

Check this. Pretty sure it's in LiveWallpapers.apk but I have no idea to what extent it's dependent on other things or the Samsung framework.

There is one that is part of Beautiful widgets. Might be what you are looking for.
Make sure u aren't just trying to install these apks. U have to push them to /system/apps and set permissions.

Download either the 4x5 or 5x5 apk, use a file manager to find the file, look at the file with your eyes, touch the area of the screen where the file is, select install, select done, press home, select touchwiz, touch touchwiz.

LOL no. The Dropbox mods got deleted because you were essentially taking advantage of a paid benefit. You only receive the space if you bought the device or paid for it legally.
This is just a launcher from the Gs3. I'm assuming it's under the Apache license like the rest of Android. It's not a form of taking advantage or warez.

the title does say 4.1, but below that in the OP it says sense 4. so im debating on whether i should try it out or not.
on another note, wouldn't we be able to pull some of the images/framework from it to compile our own themes?
best way to find out is back up and try flashing your self lol
Yea they work. I took the framework res API from that. Some are in my Rom. And I'm adding the arched lockscreen.
No go at least on my device. Aroma comes up but seems to not like my screen or something. You touch a radial and it selects another or does nothing. Cannot click next or check boxes it asks me too. Going to download once more and see if it helps
EDIT:
Got it working, you have to use your volume rocker and your power button to navigate. It compleIted but did not really work. Lockscreen has lables where icons are not. Blue framework did not take. Google Now did work, woot! ICS icon theme part no go... I might load Brolics and see if the result is different. Anyone else that wants to try post your results

Doesn't work like that. You have to rip images from files n put it in yourrr framework or whatever file you're working with. You needa know how to compile and decompile properly

Hmmm, I did have some success I updated my post. I might try your ROM and see how it goes.
Ok, so after playing some more, not much really works on either rom. What does work is adding JB animations and a Google Now to rebirth and a better Google Now to AOSP Sense 4. The Google Now talks back more. I was testing with birthdates and places of people and asking what 12x6 equals things like that.

all of these are made with the shipped VRALJB apps/framework this is not taking other apps from different phones these are fresh mods..

first up is 5x4 launcher
