Is it possible to use Launcher Pro instead of ADW in CM7? (currently using nightly 41 w/ 041811C OC Kernl + ALSA) If so how do I uninstall ADW?
I tried uninstalling ADW using Titanium Backup but the force uninstall didn't work. I assume because it is prebuilt into CM7
Thanks!
first what is ALSA? and yes you can just download it and click the n and pick launcher pro.
uninstall adw using uninstaller for root or through terminal, if you cant uninstall it using the normal way

I use Zeam, but the result is the same. AFTER you install your Launcher, click the "n", then check the box to make the Launcher the default and select Launcher Pro.
Once your favorite launcher is the Default launcher, go into Titanium Backup and 'freeze" ADW.
Ive always found it best to leave a launcher in the backround. Especially helpful if you screw up and its un-runable
I use the Home Switcher app, it allows me to easily change home screen launchers and set defaults. Been useing it on all my devices since Eclair, its quite handy.

im using a rom that has launcher pro cooked into the rom.
im unable to uninstall it.
i have launcherpro plus (the paid version) and when i try to install it ontop of launcher pro, it says installation not successful
how can i completely remove launcher pro and replace it with launcherproplus?
Titanium backup has the option to remove built in software and otherwise unremovable software. Not sure if it will work but worth a try.

totally safe, they are available on market dude.. just type the app name in search column. no need to uninstall stock launcher, in case you wanna revert back to stock otherwise you may get a bootloop/stuck because no launcher installed.
thank you so much for the reply
Hey Guys
i have a problem installing nova launcher prime. i cannot install it over the standard nova launcher, thats how much i know
i have the cm10 by pengus which comes with nova launcher and smart launcher.
but i cannot uninstall the nova launcher...i tried it with root uninstaller and deleted the apk in the system/app folder and every other nova folder i found...
the nova prime apk is on my sd card and when i try to install it it tells my that it cannot be installed (because there must be something left of the normal nova launcher...)
how can i get rid of the nova launcher wenn its so deep in the system? i cannot post in pengus ROM thread because i dont have enough posts...
from my experience with apex launcher:
1. you have to have 2 launchers installed
2. switch to the one you don't want to uninstall
3. uninstall the one you want (standard procedure: settings > apps > uninstall)
4. install the new version of the launcher
5. switch to the new launcher
at least this is how i do it when updating the Apex launcher gives me errors...
Hi,
is it possible, to use vanilla app drawer on htc stock rom?
You can download nova launcher or apex launcher from the playstore, they have the stock app drawer.

isn't there a way to use vanilla launcher without installing an apk? for example, if i just delete sense launcher?

Hi,
If you delete Sense launcher without another launcher installed like Nova, Apex, etc... You will have a problem , your phone will be unusable without a launcher, even if it boots.
The only solution is to use another launcher, no other choices...
ok I understand.
but would it be possible to use the launcher from vanilla rom and replace it with the launcher on sense rom?
No as the app drawer is part of the launcher
I suggest you use Nova. Nova is probably the best launcher there is.

Hello,
i have root my Amazon Fire 7 (gen.9) with this Manual.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/fire-7-2019-mustang-unbrick-downgrade-t3944365
Now i want to use the nova launcher permanent.
I download the nova launcher from the Google Playstore and install it.
No i have the problem, that after reboot or after i press den home button the standard Amazon Fire Launcher automatically is present.
In the Nova-Settings its shown that it is not fixed as standard. But i cant change this under "standard apps". there i just the Browser-App.
What should I do that the nova launcher is standard.
Thank you very much
Greetings

Easiest thing is to uninstall or disable the stock launcher. Package disabler from the playstore worked well for me. I moved on to lineage now though..

What is the name of the stock launcher? Where can i found the stock launcher to uninstall is?
I wanted to backup and uninstall the stock launcher with Titanium Backup. If i search within Titanium Backup with the search term "launcher" it it displayed:
"Home Pages 1.3...."
"Nova Launcher 6.2.12"
"Pixel Launcher 8.1.0-4429924"
"Pixel Launcher 7.1.2"

For launcher change, install a 3rd party launcher (lawnchair2 for example) then use this to disable the stock..
com.amazon.firelauncher
I use package disabler to shut it off, that way if you need it, it is still there.
Or you can do from a ab shell PM disable com.amazon.firelauncher

I dont found the com.amazon.firelauncher.
But i disabled (with Tintanium Backup) the App "Home Pages 1.3.203256.0_23012710". After that i could choose between the "nova launcher" and the "Pixel Launcher". So i choos the nova launcher and it worked. Even after a reboot.
I hope it stays that way
Thank you very much.
