Froyo Launcher2.apk

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

Any chance to re-upload the File?
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!

Browser .apk cm 6.1

for some reason after flashing a custom theme my browser .apk went missing. i can find it it the file explorer but cant install it or do anything with it. so i was hopi9ng someone can post there browser .apk from cm 6.1 for me so i can install it again. i cant stand using dolphin and opera browser.

...or you could pull it from the CM 6.1 zip that you flashed?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

once I accidentally replaced browser.apk in /system/app by another apk, later I just deleted browser.apk, and from SD card I re-installed it, and browser came back.

i actually tried that and it says application could not be installed. and the browser has appeared on my app drawer now but when i open it, it force closes. what can i do?

What are you using as you file explorer? I recommend Root Explorer, and don't forget to set the permissions...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

ive used root explorer and es file explorer and still no luck. and yes ive set the permissions. it just says application not installed after i hit install.

ok... I had same problem when installing "Android Terminal Emulator" actually~and still don't know how to fix it

so what can i do, this is getting annoying

I think you may have to resort to restoring your backup...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Do you think if I re flash the theme it will possibly fix this issue? Because its the new inexus theme that was just released. Also reflashing the backup will really be a hassle.
Never mindj just tried to reflash the theme and it didn't work so I still don't know what to do
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

You can try the theme, it certainly won't hurt, but I think you'll end up having to do the ROM eventually...
Once you're up and running again, make a backup before trying the theme again.

i did a nandroid backup before flashing the theme. if i restore that backup will i get everything back. like apps and data

Themed MARKET 2.2.7 Black,Blue,Red,Green

I cannot take ant credit for these. I have found them in different forums and all I am doing is posting them here for you guys to enjoy also.
Disclaimer:I have personally confirmed these work on 2.2.1.But that doesn't mean it will work for you and I am not responsible if you brick or break your phone
Back up your vending.apk from system/app folder BEFORE you try to install this
Market must be already installed and configured(Logged in prior to install)
These are all installed through clockwork in recovery
DO NOT RENAME
1.install zip from SD
2.choose zip from SD
3.scroll down to desired zip and install
4.reboot system
5. enjoy
FOR THOSE HAVING FC ISSUES TRY THIS AFTER INSTALL
1. Make sure Market is closed (task manager or FC)
2. Go to Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> All
3. Select Market
4. Clear data
If it works, good for you, otherwise: Try the Installing again
5. Launch SGS Tools
6. Select Market Fix, check both boxes, apply.
7.) Most important: after reboot, REPEAT STEPS 1-4.
If Market is not showing up.
Install Original from one I posted or back up your vending.apk from system/app folder and replacing it with your original vendng.apk

Black or White?
Just curious, but are the backgrounds of these markets white like the normal one? or are they indeed black as your pictures show?
If not, is that a theme that would do that?

They are exactly like the picts show.the only white background is the lighter blue one

Great find. I like the Dark Market as it will go with the Darkness theme but I also like the Dark Blue theme. I guess I will switch off pretty often between the two. Thanks

Cool, trying on Perception 10 in a bit, the dark one will look killer on The Darkness2.5 theme as mentioned above.

Can't get any of them to work on Perception 10. I tried to install using the .zip file. It places the Vending.apk in the system/app folder, but it doesn't show up in my app drawer. Same results if I extract and place it there by my self.

I would love to have the dark one as well for the Darkness theme on Perception 10

Check the link provided by the OP above to the original posts - there are some troubleshooting steps there and a patch I believe.

I am using the Dark market with the Darkness theme on P10. Just installed it last night. Just moved.it with root explorer to my sd card, went into recovery and chose install zip from sd card and ham it worked fine. I didn't have to look for it or anything. It actually has a different icon for the market on my home page as well.

Market must be already installed and configured(Logged in prior to install). I have no idea why because I am not the creator but I have personally done it this way and have had no issues what so ever installing them through clockwork. I updated the OP with this also.

I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue but I get FC after I install something and then FCs when trying to open the market again. I have to reinstall the stock market and then install the dark market and then it repeats the issue. So I can install one thing, restore stock market, install dark market, install another app and repeat.

wow Maybe try fixing permissions in Rom manager or Recovery and see if that help

I was trying to figure this out awhile ago with the OP from linked thread and it turns out that even though some markets say 2.2.7 in the info for the package it was really 2.2.6 when pulled from phone and opened. I think that 2.2.1 uses a different market then 2.2

Haven't tried the dark market yet but the Dark Blue works fine.

Flashed fine for me using the black market 277. Have since been updated to the P 10 v0.5 patch and no issues.
You are rebooting after putting the file into /system/app/ dir right?

I said earlier that I couldn't get any of them to work. I really wanted to use the Black theme, so I reflashed Perception 10, and before restoring any apps or anything else, I tried to install the themed market. Of course I signed into the stock market first like OP stated. Anyway, it worked. I tried to recreate the problem I had installing it before, but I can't seem to now.

Cool,just installed the black/blue app market on my Cappy,looks freaking sweet with reefermattness's Darkness 2.2 theme-took about 6 tries using member RockRatt's method(thanx) !

Touchwiz music app

Is there any way to get this whole using comm rom? I loved the controls in the notification bar

You can push the Samsung TW music apk into system/apps folder with root explorer if you know how to do so. You must remove the existing ASOP music apk out of there first. You may want the copy it to your sdcard for backup first.

Here is the apk http://db.tt/CqMdGtT

So just flash the music player Like I would anything else? And I don't need to delete aosp music if I do it this way?

It depends what version of clockwork you have. The amend will not flash through cwr 3. You can try but I dont think it will work. You need and edify tw music zip for 3, or you will have to push it I believe.

I think so. It's just the stock Samsung music apk. I have done it before, I am on EC01. Just make sure you have a backup of the ASOP music apk on your sdcard incase you have to put it back in system/app.

Didn't work... it flagged and installed ok. But when I booted up it was as nothing happened.

Huh idk. It has worked for me before. Did you reboot after you put the apk in system app? Somebody will have to make it a flashable edify patch zip then, I am not sure how to do that.

Steel blue theme comes with it, i believe, if that helps at all

Ok sorry I'm new to this. When you say " push" to system/ apps. What is that? And is there a special way to delete aosp music?

When I say push, I mean copy and paste apk files into system/app folder on your phone. You need to do this with the root explorer app in r/w (read write) mode. You will see the other music apk in the system/app folder.
In root explorer (make sure it is set as r/w)...
1. copy and paste the tw musicplayer apk into the system/app folder on your phone. Here is the apk file http://db.tt/CqMdGtT
2. copy the music apk (the one we are removing), and paste it to your sdcard somewhere. Now you have a backup of it.
3. Go back into system/app folder and delete music apk. You should now have only one music apk in that folder, the TW music player apk.
4. set root explorer back to r/o (read only)
5. reboot, when it is booted up you should now have music player in your app drawer.
*Warning this only works with certain apks. If you delete certain system files from system/app folder it may screw things up. Always have a backup of your system through clockwork before you push things.

I have done this numerous times with this app & others as well and I had this same result. Copied it into system/app, rebooted, still no stock music app. On previous roms the removal of the aosp music app has not been necessary for me in order to use the stock player. But its not working on comm.rom1.3...

Idk, it works for me on com rom 1.3. I pushed tw music, touchwiz launcher, and tw friends widget. Did you mount as read write before and reboot after? Maybe a theme is preventing it.

Glad this method does still work. I use AndRootFile as a file manager and it mounts r/w automatically when you select to run it as superuser. Followed the same process that has always worked for me and it does put the apk in system/app, it just never loads an icon in the drawer or opens.

Can you post the update 3.1.6 ?

I just installed it without removing the other apk and I can confirm on Tiamat 2.2.1 XOOM that both markets can co-exist with 1 little glitch.
You can't seem to have 2 apps named the exact same thing in your APPS catalogue. I found that if I want to open the new market, I have to open AppBrain Market and select the new market and hit "OPEN"
Any ways around it? worst case, I'll delete the previous APK...
btw this market looks just like the new market on my Nexus One...

That link is for 3.1.5.

3.1.6

Chek it, Thanx Solarnz

How do you install it? I can't seem to install the apk solarnz provided.
I tried to copy to system/app/ using root explorer but there is no existing Phonesky.apk.
Titanium Backup indicates that the market is Finsky.apk but renaming and replacing it doesn't do anything.
Luckily I backed up the original market using Titanium Backup.
