[Q] How to change Launcher in CustomROM?

Hey Guys,
I'm on my Way by creating my own CustomROM. But there is one Problem: I want to remove the orginal TouchWiz-Launcher and replace it with LauncherPro (I moved the apk into /system/app).
BUT:
After applying the update.zip the screen becomes black after booting and the phone hangs up. Do you have any idea whats the Problem?
I hope my english is understandable, I'm a little bit out of practise
I only tried it with ADW Launcher Standalone Version, but worked like a charm
Removing TouchWiz30Launcher is no problem, also done on my phone!
But I installed LauncherPro into data partition with Market link
Check adb logcat output, you will see what the problem is

How do you install LauncherPro (or every Application with a MARKET LINK)?
I'm also creating Custom ROMs for myself, will plan to release them here later

[Q] Deleted Touchwiz data

Hi,
I made a mistake while doing the TouchWizmod and deleted the original TouchWiz data..
Now i have a blackscreen with the notification bar..
I fixed it with installing LauncherPro via Adb.
Now i can see something but when i go to Homescreen swichter it says not determined yet..
I already made a factory reset.
I'm thinking about flashing my SGS via Kies with reghack but I'm not sure..
Can anyone help me restoring the TouchWizdata?
Thanks.
Deleting the TWlauncher's data will only cause TWlauncher to recreate that data, it's not big problem.
You're actually describing a correct behaviour in the second part of your post - having installed launcher pro the phone now needs to know which app (TW launcher or launcher pro) to use as default; that's why it's asking you after reboot.
To fix TW launcher, pick that as the default app and leave it to recreate it's data - it should only take about 30 seconds or so to revert to the default TW layout; plus then maybe another 30 seconds or so to rebuild your app list when you click on applications.
Twlauncher is not in the list,so I cant pick it.
And it still says not determined yet.
Even after picking Launcher Pro..
Any Suggestions?
After i downloaded adb launcher i can pick Launcher Pro as default.
But i still need TW.
Pls help
In System/app do you have a file called TouchWiz30Launcher.apk?
No,I already said it.
I deleted this file =/.
To be sure i searched for this file.
I just got TouchWiz30Launcher.odex
Find TouchWiz30Launcher.apk here on the forums. There's a nice patched one with some good improvements you might want to try.
Also, this is not Development. Thread reported.

No, you said you deleted the data but what you deleted is the launcher itself.
So i can take the moded one,and put it in system/app and everything is fine?
Or do i have to follow an instruction
Pls help x.x

[Q] Unbootable Captivate..

Hi guys i just installed spb shell 3D, set it as my default launcher and restarted. Now the progress bar just keeps going (im on serendipity 6.3).
I can get to cwm , is there any way to get rid of it or reset my default launcher back to the adw ex?
Download a theme and flash it, that will set whatever launcher it uses as default, or give you an option to set a new default.
Hell you could even go into said theme zip and delete everything but the launcher, that way you will only be installing the launcher and not anything else. Try that.
Thanks that worked....

[Q] change dock skin

hey XDAs,
i got a arc launcher that already comes with a themed dock.
now i wanted to change the dock and i got this folders where i replaced this file with another .png of the same size.
when i try to install the launcher i get "application not installed" error.
do i need to change more than just the icon or what did i wrong?
so....nobody?
got the same error with app icons, too.
Should work if not you could try to recompile the apk with new png.
How did u install it? Flash via CWM or copy over?
1. Did u remove previous version first? Must be done first unless your flashing via cwm.
2. Also with framework dependancies etc remove any arc widgets prior to installing, install arc launcher then reinstall or copy over widgets again.

hey,
thx for your advice but i already managed it on my own

Simple, delete launcher pro.apk from /system/app, put launcher pro plus in there, rename it so that it has the same name as the deleted launcher pro, then change permission of launcher pro to rw-r--r--
Then reboot
