[Q] Launcher Pro/TW Launcher..... - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to use Launcher Pro as my main Launcher, but I read that it does`nt over ride TW, its just there with TW. My question is, since I dont use TW that much, could I clean it up by getting rid of some of the apps there, or would that also delete or affect apps etc. in Launcher Pro?
No point in having TW packed with stuff when I dont use it that much, cheers!

i agree having 2 launchers i think is essential as back up when modding either of them so you can use the other one to fix the one you break if you know what i mean. Just set launcher pro as default and you wont know tw is there.
Any apps you uninstall will be deleted from both launchers.

Ah cheers lads, I`m just trying to have my phone set up so it has as less apps/programs running as possible, I want it to be smoooooth running!

Anyone else have problems setting default launcher? i have TW and pro but every time i click home screen it asks to set default, says the default is set in manage applications...
Any ideas?

Try a restart dude, sounds stupid but might work, then select and check the default box when prompted.

Alternatively you could try get a rom from the dev section where TW has already been removed. I don't recommend removing it manually if you're not sure what you're doing..
Also, they're both just launchers, so they just list links to apps. If you remove an app in TW, it will be removed from LP

ive just installed darkys rom can someone please explain why i have two launchers ie launcher and tw launcher - what do these do and which one should i use as my default. thanks

Launchers launch your app. It's up to you which you prefer.

Remove TW bloatware

Anyone have tried to remove all the TouchWiz bloatware on the Galaxy's stock rom? I refer to interface itself, not only cosmetic effects (I use the ADW launcher, but TW it's still in background and eat resources). If it's possible I am searching to a vanilla rom with only the features of touchwiz (FM Radio, Camera, ecc...) but without the TW interface at all.
Anyone is working about this?
Re:
if u want to get rid of bloatware you have to first root the stock rom
use cf root acc to ur rom ie. jvr jvt jvu or whatever
use titanium backup from play store
u can then uninstall bloat ware
as for touchwiz as far as what I understand from what ur saying u want touchwiz features but don't want the touchwiz launcher ?
use titanium backup and uninstall the launcher application . I think its called tw home or something similar . DO IT AFTER INSTALLING A DIFFERENT HOME APP LIKE ADW ! .
press home key and set ur new launcher like adw as default .
done !
as for rom faryaab's F1 roms are great .
to get rid of the background stuff use auto killer task manager from play store
Read the damn date of that post. Read today's date. And now tell me what you have done.

[Q] How can I install for samsung program_monitor.apk

Dear friends
I updated custom rom. But samsung program_monitor is removed in this rom.
So, I want to re-install program_monitor.
I did to move program_monitor.apk in system/app with permission's setting and re-booted the system.
However, I can't see program monitor widget in add-->widget items.
How can I do ? Please help me to install.
Is your ROM using stock launcher? if not, then you cant, b'coz it is samsung widgets, not android widgets. which you cant see in custom launcher.

I don't use another launcher app.
Actually, I use CriskeloRom.
But CriskeloRom don't have program_monitor. So, I want to input program_monitor.
I can't write the reply in CriskeloRom thread because I am fresh guy.
Can't I use program monitor app in CrikeloRom ?

Launchers and custom ROMs

This may be a weird question but can you run launchers with custom ROMs? I downloaded Go Launcher EX and I believe I ran into some problems with that app and beautiful widgets app. Would it be a problem between those to apps or my eclipse ROM? Thanks for any help
Sounds like your new to this.
In short, yes. You can use different launchers on roms, presumably any. Just like you can replace your launcher on any stock phone I've ever used with one from market.. ADW,GOlauncher,Nova .. etc.
I'm not familiar with eclipse rom but there "should" be no issues. If you are having issues I would try clearing app data from withing app manager for your problematic apps/launchers.

[Q] Widgets, why can't the be restored?

Hello peoples,
[hope i am in the right section now?]
I love android but hate having to restore widgets over and over again (i flash a lot of different kernels and roms). Up till now i have never found a way to backup and restore the widgets in there former glory (location/size/settings). I use Titanium backup/restore but i found that only a nandroid restore really restores everything (and that is not something i can use when trying out new kernels and roms)
Am i missing something? (an app for instance that will really save position and settings of a widget? Or is it just a know shortcoming in android? I have used almost every launcher around but none of them restore widget (position/size/setting)
Can someone link me to some wisdom?
ps: i understa...alvik VM that hosts the widget position/size?
66 views so far but no response...? Anybody?
Cause no one knows even me but I believe if you copy launcher data using tb and restore it although I didn't try but let me guess that it works

I think this because of the launcher. If you use Apex for example and you make a backup via the app all the settings will be saved on to SD card. If you want to use another launcher with the same widgets you'll need to replace them since the data cant be restored from apex etc. Some apps can import settings from others but this will be said by the app it self.
Like i said, it depens on the launcher. Perhaps to ask one of the developers of the launcher for more information.

Good advice. So i guess i have been obstructing myself by changing launchers on weekly bases. :laugh:
where is the lockscreen file of a rom?and whats its name?

samsung had removed that feature from the stock touchwiz launcher.. Only way to get it back is by using 3rd party launcher, like nova launcher..
Okay or edit the APK files?
If i know where i must search in the APK i can do this Change again.....

Thanks, i will contact the DEV how he make this changes @oluwaponmile
Did you ever figure this out? Trying to do the same thing.
Yes, oluwaponmile have made / give me a TW Launcher with infinite scrolling homescreen is working. I have the permission this launcher to integrate in my Stocky MOD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/mod-v1-0-stockymods-t3254588/) . Then everyone can flash it easy over the Custom Recovery. It coming soon (I think on the weekend)!
