Is there any way to uninstall adw launcher from phiremod?
anyone knows?
I used titanium backup to uninstall it when I changed to launcher pro.
You do need a launcher. All you have to do is to go to the market and download a launcher that you like, and there is a lot to choose from. I prefer ADW myself. after downloading the new launcher to your NC go to settings / Applications / Manage applications / All / scroll down to ADW and clear defaults. Now the next time you hit home you'll have to choose a new launcher. Now if you still wish to kill ADW its safe to do so.

If I use 2 different launchers that I switch between, will the widgets on the non active launcher still be active and use data and cpu?
This belong in Q&A forum for starters..
So before it gets removed:
Yes it will. Remove all widgets or better yet, delete the launcher completely.
Is this true if you have a launcher set to default and never open the other? I have CM6 (so ADW built in) but use Launcher Pro and have it set to default so when I boot, Launcher Pro loads. Presumably ADW never does unless I specifically invoke it so it's not gonna be using memory until I do, correct?
You can delete ADW from CM6 with Titanium Backup. I use Launcher Pro on CM6 and that's what I did.
how do i enable the cube like scrolling for the app menu?
If you are talking about the 3D app drawer, you may need the stock 2.1 launcher, ADW Launcher, or LauncherPro (or other launchers that might have it; I'm not sure of others). Do you have any of those?
i have launcher pro
Go to the LauncherPro settings by hitting menu on the homescreen and go to Preferences > Advanced Settings > check Use 3D drawer
I know this is an old thread but it's perfect for my question. I'm using ADW (on the AOSP Spaceman ROM) and would like to enable the 3D drawer. How would I go about doing that?
Google....adw launcher
I am currently using di11is5.1. My question is after setting ADW as the default launcher can I remove the others. Just want to free up space. I really like ADW over Launcher, Launcher Pro, and TW Launcher. And to clarify I have already set ADW as default and if uninstalling the others will cause problems then I am OK with leaving them.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes you can.
How do I go about stripping the other launchers out. I have reflashed and I am now on di11is5.3 in this ROM other than ADW that I have installed is Launcher Pro, Launcher, and TWLauncher. I want to completely remove them. I have tried to use the manage apps in the settings menu. I have also tried TB. TB does seem to do a little but it did not remove Launcher Pro from the switcher menu.
In Settings, Applications, Manage Apps, I usually go to the "All" option. There, I can find any third party launcher apps I installed. Click on the launcher you want to remove, and there should be an "uninstall" option for the app. The uninstall option doesn't seem to be there for Android stock launchers.
I had a great emmc root but screwed up this morning by pushing the Home option and having it as the default. Now I can't figure out how to get back to the Zeam Launcher. Help.
Fixed it by finding another launcher and installing it.
The same thing happened to me. I keep a launcher apk in my dropbox so I can access it from the web interface if it happens to me again.
I use Nova launcher, and I can just access that through the app drawer (push vol+ and tap apps on B&N apps page). Then I can make it the home launcher again. I think Zeem is in the app drawing too, no?
Another way to go is to search for the Google Play app in the browser. Then click the Google Play link and have it open Google Play by default. Then you can either find another launcher (like ADW) or go into your apps there and open a launcher.
Hello friends, this is my first post that I hope is useful. I will teach you to have the launcher touchwiz for your phone (COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID 4.2+) We will need 3 applications and root access.
The first application is the nova launcher prime, (you can easily download it by looking for the apk in google) the more updated the better.
Once the nova launcher is downloaded, go to the Root explorer or the Es file manager. And paste the apk replacing the system launcher by default or adding it to system / app (I replaced the old touchwiz because I do not like outdated) Once this is done, we will have the most customizable launcher in our system.
Now the second apk is: TW Icons, (in the play store is only the application of pay then you can find the apk in google).
Once downloaded the apk we move to system / app.
THE BEST OF THIS APPLICATION IS THAT IT DOES NOT SPEND RAM, NO CACHE OR DATA WHEN USED IT.
When restarting the device we will have the nova launcher and TW Icons downloaded. We will access the configuration of Nova and in Appearance, we will put in icons by default those of TW icons, and the application drawer we move it to the right.
I think the size and color of the letter already know modify and to hide applications that do not want on the menu go to applications, go down and enter 'Hide applications'.
Now in the configuration of nova, we go back to applications we deactivate the option of: frequently used applications & applications in card (lollipop style).
Then we go to: Wallpaper (Color and Transparency) and we put everything transparent.
After this will have your launcher as close to touchwiz as possible. I recommend you back it up in Nova if you format your cell phone not having to configure everything again. I hope you have served them and remember: TW Icons does not spend RAM
