[Question] Stock Launcher? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Everyone
Well i Just Flashed the new CM6 And i love it =D....But
I like the Stock Froyo Luncher
Not a real big Fan of ADW...so is there any way to get the Stock Luncher Back On the NO CM6
Thank for all the help

Download the Launcher2.apk
Put it in the tools folder of your sdk.
Then from command
adb remount
adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app
adb reboot
This will replace and remove ADW after reboot.

Won't replace it.. Will only add it.
you need to remover ADW too as well as push.
adb remount
adb shell rm ADWLauncher.apk/system/app

It replaced it for me when I pushed L2. Adw was gone and there was no listing in the settings.

thanks u guys are the best =D

Champion v2 problem

My text messaging isnt working anymore why is this the rom is super fast for me i love it but i cant get text messages any one having same prob? or know of a solution?
im on this rom and dont have this problem...try pushing a Mms.apk from another hero build
how do you do that?
Code:
adb remount
adb push [directory on your computer that contains the Mms.apk]/Mms.apk /system/sd/app_s/Mms.apk
adb shell reboot
someone correct me if that is the wrong location
since i am going to assume you do not have adb though
go into the recovery terminal and type
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd/app_s
cd system/sd/app_s
rm Mms.apk
reboot
then have the Mms.apk from another build on your sdcard(fat32) and install it via astro or some other package installer
again someone correct me if that is the wrong location because i am not on a hero build right now or i would confirm the directories myself
Im pretty sure u cant install system apps with astro. Either try the super user file browser from the market, terminal, or adb

Installing stock apps on CM6

CM6 truly is full of awesome. Some people (like me) just tend to prefer stock counterparts over custom software. To be specific, I want to install the stock Launcher and Music apps. ADW Launcher and the modified music player are good, but as a UX Designer, I find the stock counterparts smoother at the moment.
I got the apks of the two apps from the stock Froyo zip, but they can't be installed. How do I install stock apps on CM6?

Did you try to push them to the /system/app folder? Also, this should be in q&a, not in the dev section.
Some of us are noobs, what is the correct advice comands to push these files.

This is weird. Pushing didn't work. Both ADW Launcher and the custom music app are still here...

They have different names. Pushing DOES work. You have to uninstall ADW and music app with rm commands.
Code:
adb shell rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
Not entierly sure but the same goes for Music app...
The stock music app is called MusicGoogle.apk
The Cyanogen is just called music.apk.
so..
Code:
adb shell rm /system/app/music.apk
Remember to push the other files before removing these apk's..
Always MAKE A BACKUP before removing any APK file, or any other file for that matter.
Code:
adb pull /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk backups/ADWLauncher.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
adb push backups/Launcher2.apk /system/app

I just successfully rm-ed ADWLauncher.apk and Music.apk and pushed Launcher2.apk and MusicGoogle.apk. Unfortunately, I just lost ADWLauncher and the custom Music apps.
Installing the apks still don't work, btw.
Any idea?
Put them in your tools folder, then
cd/
cd/androidsdk/tools
adb remount
adb push whatever.apk /system/app
If you see numbers, it's pushed. If you want to remove stock apps
adb devices
adb shell
rm /system/app/whatever.apk

But still i dint get the stock mp3 player installed in my device.

[Q] where to i push an .apk too?

when pushing an .apk through adb, where to i push it? for example, you put in the .apk file name
com.fede.launcher.v.0.8.1.1.apk/system/???
i don't know where to push it to get it on my hero lol.
can anyone plz help me noob self out?
Where you push it to is completely situational.
If you want the application to be a "system" app you would push it to /system/app/
Code:
adb remount
adb push ./appnamehere.apk /system/app
Like for example a Home such as the one you wrote - LauncherPro.
Otherwise you can push apps to /data/app - which is where most of your market downloaded/non-market (unknown source) apps get installed to.
Code:
adb push ./appnamehere.apk /data/app
(the rest go to /data/app-private but that doesn't matter here)
ok thanks so much for the reply! i will do that. and since i want to put in a new launcher i have to remove the old one first?
You could keep the old one there if you wanted, but if you're never going to use it you might as well remove it

[Q] Stock Captivate Mms.apk on Assonance

So I've recently installed Assonance and have it to the point where I'm almost happy, but I would like to use the stock Captivate Mms.apk. Is this possible? I've tried sending the stock Captivate Mms.apk to the system/app directory, but that did not work.
Thanks for your help.
This is a shameless bump. If it helps anyone, I've also tried to install it via adb, install it via a file explorer from SD, and run it from the system directory with root explorer, all to no avail.
Are you using one from JK3? Or one from Assonance before it had the AOSP MMS? It should work fine. Just push it to /system/app.

I was trying the one from the stock 2.1. I assume that's where my issue lies?
So I found the JK3 ROM and extracted Mms.apk from it, and pushed it to /system/app via adb. I get "Could not launch the requested activity." trying to open it via Launcher Pro. Trying to install it with Root Explorer I get "Application not installed."
Any ideas?
Thanks for you help thus-far.
I'm sorry for posting three times in a row, but at this point I highly doubt anyone is going to reply to this thread unless I bump it.
Does anyone have any ideas at all? I'd really like this solved.
Thank you for your time.
Try this:
adb push Mms.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system/
cd /system/app
rm Mms.apk
cd /sdcard/
cp Mms.apk /system/app
exit
exit
exit

Thanks for your continued assistance, but unfortunately, I get the same issue with that method. I guess I'll just live with the AOSP Mms.apk, unless you have any other ideas
Also, I love the ROM and might have to give Serendipity a try sometime soon.
EDIT: I got it working using the Mms.apk you provided in your Serendipity thread. Thanks for your help again

[Q] Rotary Unlock

Hey there,
I am looking for the Rotary Unlock screen as seen in Darky's latest ROM. I believe its an Android default thing though.
Currently I'm using Doc's ROM with GingerMix v4 Theme.
Any ideas appreciated.
StNick
Try to flash Simply Galaxy ROM by Simone201.
You can find the thread on android development
I'm not looking to replace my ROM, I'm happy with Doc's ROM. I just want the Rotary Unlock screen, is all.
Take my ROM, unzip the rom.zip.
Copy /system/framework folder and the /system/app/Settings.apk file to your ROM. Set the perms with adb or similar to 644 (files).
ADB:
adb shell
su
Mount System R/W (use SGS tools etc.)
chmod -R 644 /system/framework
chmod 644 /system/app/Settings.apk
Easiest would be ADB Magic from Chainfire

Hey Darkyy,

Hey Darkyy would this work for jvk also?
