I'm not sure if you can put NOVA LAUNCHER in the private/app folder, to remove TW without showing incompatibilities and to avoid some kernel FC of @djmax (suemax kernel 1.2)
Any ideas?

Just install it from Play store. You can choose which home launcher to run as default from within Nova

hey there i was just wondering if there is a way to change the adw launcher in cyanogenmod 7.03 to launcher pro
Yes you can change the launcher in any Android ROM. Install LauncherPro, press Home button, check "Use by default for this action", then select LauncherPro.

Just leave it. It doesn't take up any app storage space because it was part of the ROM.

Also, If you're s-off after installing launcherpro you can move it to the /system/app folder too. If you're not s-off you can preinsert it into the rom zip in the /system/app folder or use adb to push it to the /system/app folder.
The same methods can be used to remove adw. I like to remove whatever I don't use because rebooting after wiping dalvik takes longer the more apps you have.

i recently installed minicm 7 latest version on my x10 mini pro. it was running quite smoothly. however, not being happy with both adw launcher and home.apk(SE launcher) i deleted both of the apps from the system/apps folder and installed zeam launcher NORMALLY(via play store). But now on restarting the phone it stucks and the minicm logo. please help!
also i deleted some other files from system/apps (latin ime.apk userdictionayprovider.apk) which might have caused the problem.
is there a way to install zeam launcher into the system folder using CWWM recovery?
Just flash your rom again so you have the missing files back, then install zeam-launcher, set it as default and then delete the other stuff, no need to do a wipe if you install the same rom.
thanks. but i already did a full swipe and installed the rom

And? Did that solve your problem? Or are you still stuck? Did you get zeamlauncher working?
Has anybody tried to removed the stock launcher already ?
I'm running Go Launcher and want to remove all software that is no longer necessary .
Yes, but I always have a spare launcher (zeam) in case one crashes, saves a lot of hassle! Removing tw hasn't caused me any problems

You can remove it. Then go launcher will be your default launcher.
Just do not remove go launcher else your phone wont boot.
You can remove it by either some sort of debloater or use titanium backup pro uninstall.
Hello everyone, I'm here to ask how I can change the default launcher in my rom SlimFXP. Because I saw that the "Go Launcher" is much better than the default of my rom "Nova Launcher" ... thanks: D
Install go launcher from the play store. Press home button after it's installed.
That's it.
But, however, I want to remove the nova launcher, which is automatically installed unless I wanted when I put the custom rom. And there isn't the option to "uninstall" on nova launcher. Why I'm afraid that if I delete the nova launcher, the phone will not start.
If you have any other launcher installed the phone will start for sure.
I know anyone reading this will find this question weird but its not normally Trebuchet is the stock launcher but not in Carbon rom.
Phone : GT-19300
ROM : Carbon Nightly for GT-I9300 Android KitKat 4.4.2
Hi All,
Carbon ROM for GT-I9300 comes with "Launcher3" as there default launcher, it seems like a modified version of CM11
Trebuchet Launcher. It seems to be buggy in the rom and i just wanted to replace that with stock CM11 Launcher so tried a few things.
Trick 1
Set the default launcher as Apex after installing it.
I used Titanium Backup to do a backup of default "Launcher3" and then Uninstalled it.
Rebooted the system and then Carbon rom some how restored the Launcher3 back automatically.
Trick 2
Set the default launcher as Apex after installing it.
I used Titanium Backup to do a backup of default "Launcher3" and then set it as user app.
Rebooted the system and then Carbon rom some how restored the Launcher3 back as system app. :silly:
I mean why cant i simply get rid of the buggy Launcher3.
I have the CM11 Trebuchet Launcher as a flashable zip but flashing it conflicts with Launcher3 and that's why need to get rif of Launcher3 completely.
My last resort seems to be some how modify the rom zip and replace the Launcher3 and put CM11 Trebuchet in its place.
Is this even possible is the query here

Titanium seems to have issues uninstalling system apps unless you update your Superuser app to SuperSU from the Play Store and update the binary and reboot. Other options include using a root uninstaller app or, I think there might be a system app remover option in the Carbon Fiber settings, though I have not played with Carbon in awhile, so not 100% on that.
Thanks for you reply will check and revert.

No problem. If you want to know how to do it before you install the rom, then you just need to grab 7zip for the PC, and use it to open the rom zip as an archive then browse to /system/app and delete the Launcher3.apk and copy Trebuchet in. Important to open as archive and not to unzip and re-zip or you will have to re-sign it as just unzipping breaks the rom's signature and it will fail installation in recovery with an aborted message.
How can I check if the zip remains or is signed?
I hope this is not a dumb question.

Just open as archive and don't unzip it and you'll be fine. You'll know if it doesn't work if it fails to install. lol
