hey guys i just wanted to get rid of ADW and with stupidity and assumption i went ahead and used Ttitanium pro to uninstall ADW launcher. i rebooted my phone and now its stuck at loading. its been loading for 30 minutes now and ive tried twice so far. being a new user im slowly learning everything so give me a noob break im behind on the droid stuph. i have speedmod kernel clockwork etc.
Speedmod kernel on cm7? You sure about that one? thats a froyo kernel...
i fixed it i had a recovery image lol. how can i get rid of adw though and use launcherpro isntead?

Install launcher pro first. Don't know how you thought it would boot up without a launcher installed at all.
yea found out the hsrd way lol

Just rooted my NC, went smoothly. Now what is the first or one of the first apk's I need to install. How do I get away from the stock NC UI? I guess I need a way to see my installed apps and some sort of display arranger.
Try rom manager and install a custom rom...

I would recommend a good launcher, like ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro and go from there.
Also a market alternative like APKTor, and you should be all set!

There is no recovery and defiantly no custom recovery yet and there are absolutely no custom roms yet.
Back to OP. Check out this page for ideas http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor#Things_to_do_after_you.27ve_rooted_your_NookColor
Thanks guys for advice, sounds like a good place to start is the launcher. Just saw this vid on YouTube. What launcher is he using for 5 home screens?

Many people have found the Zeam launcher to be the one that works best on the NC .. google Zeam on xda for link.
AOSP launcher2 for 5.6.890
Just install zip from cwm.
GBLauncher, Black status bar, % with the battery icon and extra animations: http://www.4shared.com/file/DSsT0mmb/GBlauncher3.html
Just GB launcher.http://www.4shared.com/file/p_kJVC-_/launcher2-Only.html
This replaces your launcher2.apk with a stock launcher2.apk
Works fine for me but install at your own risk. And do a backup first.

Does it matter if you are running a stock system or a deodexed rom ?

You should now have the aosp launcher. Try flashing it again.

I will have pictures up soon.
I have found out how to turn the toolbar black. To save time/trouble I asked someone if we could use their systemui.apk. I will release a second version with that as an option when I get the ok.
Thanks for this, been using modaco gingerbread launcher on the market but this one has a much faster app drawer.
Also I just unzipped and installed it no need to flash it.
Flashed three times.. no error during install... still only motoblur launcher... I see the file under system/app... any recommendations?

Using root explorer go to /system/app. Then mount r/w. Then rename blurhome2.apk to blurhome2.bak(to be safe) then(this is important) do not leave rootexplorer(you have no launcher currently) find where you have the download for this launch and go to it and click it and install it. That should do the trick.

when i renamed blurhome2.apk to the .bak version I kept getting a FC on the home application repeatedly, and it wouldn't let me back out. I used adb to rename the file back and just installed using the ASOP launcher app. worked like a charm!
It's good to see a piece of stock GB!
Thanks for all the help!
Can I flash this on a sensation? ?
Is this the 3d launcher? ?

Wouldnt having ADW or GoLauncher enabled at the time stop the force close issue until the stock one is installed? Does Home Switcher recognize it as installed once you get it all done?

When I loaded a Quick Contact widget onto the screen it seemed nothing happened. Then I realized they were invisible. I could long-hold (guessing where they were) and drag them to the recycle bin to delete the invisible icons. Weird, huh? Any recommendations on a cool contact widget?
Also, just an observation.. I was dicking with redoing my screen layout and was in landscape mode.. all of a sudden the launcher crashed and just for a few seconds I could see the motoblur launcher. The stock launcher quickly re-started and was working normally again.
By installing through the apk is it possible this launcher is just an overlay? The OP said it would replace the launcher, but I bet that's only during a CWM flash.
...
Because you couldn't get it to work with cwm I am not sure. I actually replace the file on mine. I don't touch the blur stuff. I always work from a fastboot flash, reset and and fresh root.
New post on OP. Black status bar and such.
had to restore default launcher. pdanet no longer works when this is active
Is my d3 a bad egg?
Scrolling through pages is really unsmooth for me. All stock launchers are like that for me. Obviously LP is butter for me but it seems like none of you have this problem...
All non stock launchers have caused issues for me unless you can actually change kernels and other system files. On CM on my droid Inc and inc 2 it was very easy to swap and it didn't cause issues.

I have a problem lately and its getting worse. After using the internet for a little while and then exiting Samsung's Twlauncher always restarts... It very annoying but i could live with that.
A couple of days ago i installed Chaton and now everytime i send or recieve a message, launcher restarts and its becoming very annoying! I know its a memory problem but this never happened prior to installing Gingerbread.
Anyone having same problem? BTW i have stock firmware without any root or modification.
Thanks

I have the same problem as well. Everytime I exit from the browser my launcher will restart. I find it annoying as well. I'm using adw launcher. Got this problem after I updated to gingerbread.

what rom are you guys using? any custom kernels or lagfixes on this rom or previous one?
You could try Go Launcher EX, I liked it a lot.
Additionally, you could try using a root explorer and browse /dbdata/databases and erase the folders for the launcher you are using, sometimes this fixes problems with apps not working correctly.
Did you backed up your launcher with Titanium backup or similar and then restored data and app? This causes problems when restoring data and not just app.
I'm using the stock rom from bell. Switched to go launcher yesterday. Still have the same problem =(

Hi,
Im on gb 2.3.5 xxjvt/ jetpack rom
Lately my phones keeps hanging and freezing. I always take off the batteries. Its been happening frequently and it's annoying.

Do you made a clean flash? Wipe, stock firmware, kernel, rom? If you did, try wipe everything. If this also does not help, i think its the best to reflash the the whole rom as mentioned above!
That only happens when you are using TouchWiz4 (that modified version for SGS).
Uninstall that and get something diffferent, say a Nova Launcher or even ADW.
Im using launcher pro.
I already did a clean install before. If i will do it again it will be my 3rd time. Is upgrading to ics will help?

If your on custom rom dont use appzorter they are in conflict with each other. To organize your apps in custom rom use its own setting, you dont need appzorter. Appzorter is an app for stock rom.
Just took appzorter off rebooted phone and now I'm missing apps.....it is strange!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Check if the apps were hidden by the launcher
Yep no hidden apps...when I use the stock launcher to organise the apps some disappear put when I use appzorter the missing apps appear again...weird...
