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

Simply remove the apks of the "old" launcher from the update.zip and put in the one of launcher pro (folder system/app/) ...

Thanks for help

Noone an idea?????
Last time i had problems with market working now with beautiful widgets...
Just wipe and start over.
But if i wipe all my apps and data are lost...
They are linked to your google account on the market, just redownload.
Ahh, the apps under market->downloads are linked to my google account?!
Cool.
But i have to download the apps i'm installed from my sd card, like setcpu or something else, or???
Is that right???????

If you do a wipe then you won't lose your programs, because as you said they are on your sdcard ext partition. But a wipe will reset all your apps to their original state (meaning saved info will be deleted).
Regarding your widget issues, should I assume you are using the free version? Not the donated one? If so, I bet that is the issue in installing new oness
If it is still on your phone, it will be in /system/app/ , I forget the name, but it starts with com.
I have the "free" version, recently downloaded addon, but doesn't work. I almost almost positive it is because it's not the donate version
Hi all,
I personally really like the default Launcher2.apk from froyo, however unfortunately Cyanogen has now only included ADW.Launcher in cm6. After upgrading to cm6-rc1, I'm having trouble locating a copy of a Launcher2.apk from froyo.
As my phone's bootloader is not unlocked, it'll be a large hassle for me to go back to stock, and upgrade just to get Launcher2.apk...
I was wondering whether someone could post their stock /system/app/Launcher2.apk from an FRF91 install, to save me the trouble.
If you have adb installed, the command should just be:
adb pull /system/bin/Launcher2.apk
Cheers, Xanium
remote object '/system/bin/Launcher2.apk' does not exist
Just pull it from a stock rom and push it back overwriting ADW.
Mine had trouble seeing it. I tried a version I compiled myself from AOSP, as well as a resigned one from a deodexed FRF91 rom without success. I'm sure I missed something. I don't know what though. I've replaced the launcher in older CM versions with my own modified one without issues.
If you download CM6 from ROM manager you can choose to install with ADWLauncher or Launcher2
Launcher2.apk and Launcher2.odex are located at system/app. not at system/bin

Really? Awesome. I guess I'll have to try that.
Here is a stock AOSP build of Launcher2.apk.
EDIT: Rom Manager didn't allow me to select launcher. The file I linked to above worked fine though. Just reboot and it will default to Launcher2. The ADWLauncher entry in the Settings app will disappear as well.
I made an update.zip (for hdpi-devices) to make replacing the launcher easy for future upgrades. It just adds Launcher2.apk and removes ADWLauncher.apk.
Launcher2 just keeps FC on my G1. I'm using CM6-RC1.
I installed like:
adb .\Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk
adb reboot
Phone boots but launcher just keeps crashing. Do I have to do some kind of wipe to get this to work? Does anyone have Launcher2 working on CM6-RC1?
EDIT: Perhaps I need to uninstall the old ADW launcher? I rm'd it from /system/app but another post suggested using pm unsinstall com.android.launcher. I haven't tried that.

You need Launcher2 built from AOSP for mdpi. The one in my post is for hdpi. I forgot to mention that.
I get an error in Amon-Ra Recovery when trying to flash your zip file (nexus one, CMod RC2/nightly), Blunden.
Code:
E: can't open /sdcard/replace-launcher-signed.zip (bad)
Any ideas? I tried the manual uninstall of ADW and installation of Launcher2.apk but Launcher2.apk says it won't install.
Never mind. I downloaded your AOSP-compiled version of launcher.apk and it worked without a hitch. I must have had a corrupted file when I tried to install before. Thanks for posting the files!
no you cant

Seems that mediafire refuse the request?!
Thanks!
Download Super manager from the market not astro or anything and put the Launcher.apk on your SCcard and then open super manager tap on the red square with the sdcard on it and u will see Launcher with the Launcher icon, tap it and press install and your good
hope this helped
Download works fine again
Thanks!
Hey, not sure if this really belongs here, or in General, but since its semi-hacking the system, I'll post here first.
It seems, so far, that Touchwiz isn't nearly as deeply integrated as Sense is, and that at least some of Samsung's Modified Apps can just be backed-up, deleted, and replaced with the stock apps from Android 2.1 (using apps ripped from CM5.0.8 for Nexus 1 for my attempts.)
So, I thought I'd start a list of stock Android 2.1 apps that people have made work on the vibrant. I know a lot of people are waiting for CM or other custom roms and alternate recovery images, but in the mean time, lets start customizing!
I have confirmed the following to work, but only after the original touchwiz apps are deleted from /system/app, then the stock apps are installed via the standard installer to /data/app and cp over to /system/app then reboot
Music.apk
DeskClock.apk
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Mms.apk (NEW! added 7/21/2010)
Another pleasant surprise, is that I now have the default Calendar, music, and news & weather widgets on my vibrant!
Again, adb push didn't work for anything since I can't remount with r/w access yet, but a su adb shell allowed me to busybox cp them to /sytem/app once they were installed.
I've tried the same method with the CM5.0.8 LiveWallpapers with no success, so maybe someone else has some suggestions?
My next step is to test out bringing the original phone.apk and contacts.apk/contactsprovider.apk over
7/21/2010
Got the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 brought over, still having tons of trouble with the default dialer and contacts/contacts provider, samsung has buried their signature for these deep in android somewhere, even outside of /data/system/packages.xml so any attempt to install the CM versions even after removing the Touchwiz apps fail.
7/22/2010
Pushed ADW Launcher to system, works like a charm! However, removing the TouchWiz30Launcher apk/odex and replacing with adw or launcher pro generates constant FC's for me, so sadly, it looks like it has to stay installed for now.
cheers everyone!
where did you get the N1 files? I have been meaning to try this as well.

I actually installed the News & Weather app yesterday by just putting it on the SD Card and using ASTRO to install.. nothing special for that app.

I was about to say the same thing, I just did an ADB install for this, didn't need to delete anything from data/app or anything.
It's cool to hear that the other stuff works though.

The Gapps for 2.1, same CM Nexus thread.
Here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623496
Sorry for the confusion about 'news and weather' I just meant I was unable to adb push the apk directly to system. It installs fine by default to /data/app but I wanted it in /system/app to survive resets, hence the busybox cp.
So far no luck with contacts/contactsprovider =(
Every version I try give me an install failed error, regardless of removing all traces of the samsung versions, even their references in /data/system/packages.xml

I'm honestly not sure how to tell if it is.
I pulled the Music.apk straight out of the /system/app dir from the CM 5.0.8 update for the Nexus 1.

can anyone provide News and Weather widget from stock OS. I think its the best news app.
Grab the 'Google Apps' addon for CM 5.0.8 for the nexus one, unzip it, and copy 'GenieWidget.apk' to your phone to install it.
cheers!

Any word on if the stock launcher works? I don't really like ADW or Touchwiz

Hi again.
I haven't tried deleting the touchwiz launcher yet, but I'm using launcherPro Plus (and playing with ADW too, I really like that ADW supports the touchwiz horizontal style 'paging' in the app drawer, and hope launcher pro eventually supports it too) and they both work quite well, and should work fine when pushed into /system/app too.
Will update if I'm brave enough to remove the TW launcher, probably not tonight though, just spent the last 3 hours trying to get the stock dialer & contacts, and it was an epic fail, samsung has buried the touchwiz dialer/contacts signature deep, so no matter what I try, I always get an Install_failed_update_incompatible error when pushing the stock apps to the phone.
This is the same error I first received with the calendar, but a simple settings->applications->manage applications 'uninstall' of the remaining TWCalendar and Provider, and a reboot cleared that error, sadly that's not the case with dialer and contacts.
Maybe a wipe would fix this, but I'll wait another day or so to see how the clockwork custom recovery pans out, plus I need to make sure nandroid works so I can backup before I try that.
It also might be linked to something buried in the TW framework, I don't know, but I'm so not brave enough to mess with frameworks yet.
cheers everyone
Root Explorer allows your mount and unmount system drives btw. I like using it over ADB bc I can do it on the bus or train while commuting.
If I want to install the Stock 2.1 Calendar App, do I need to install the Calendar provider apk as well? I know the answer seems obvious but I just want to check

I'm honestly not sure if the CalendarProvider.apk is necessary, but I replaced the touchwiz provider with it for good measure.
cheers.
Okay, I keep getting App not installed error, Ive removed TW Calendar and TW Calendar provider apk and odex from system, but I still get the error when trying to install Calendar.apk
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.

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
