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.
Thanks to capychimp, seo, and sng and many others for their work with many fixes and enhancements

INSTRUCTIONS
Requirements:
▪ Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x (3.0.0.7 for Amoled and 3.0.0.8 for SLCD)
▪ Radio 2.x (Try different ones and see which works best for you. I am using 05.02)
▪ hboot 0.92 Required (See this post #635 for hboot 0.92 and instructions)
▪ A Full Wipe Highly Recommended! (Required if this is the first version you are installing)
NOTE: Will not flash over anything but this ROM.
Copy ROM to root of the SDCARD
Boot into recovery and install it via the Install Zip from SD card option
NOTE: Be patient on first boot since it may sit for a few minutes
DISCLAIMER: As usual, flash at your own risk and don't forget to backup your current installation before flashing.
NOTE: ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.x required since it is Gingerbread
Downloads
Version 3.0 >>>> Download
MD5 = 15f74dd0738235625b6767c4860e80ff
Version 3.0 with 3D Carousel >>>> Download (NOTE: If you really want the 3d - Carousel I recommend my full 3.0 ROM)
MD5 = 3c9ebae82d60976f73ad5f30d395decc
NOTE: Runs pretty good especially if you use SpareParts and set animations to fast.
NOTE 2: Fresh install with full wipe required.
IMPORTANT: Won't flash over anything unless I say otherwise. For a fresh install you must be using the correct CWM for your screen type (3.0.0.7 for Amoled or 3.0.0.8 for SLCD ) with ROM Manager or alternatively full wipe in recovery, then install/choose zip from SD Card
RULE OF THUMB: If you choose to flash over without a wipe and have lags, FC's, things missing, or things just don't work right then flash again with a complete wipe
Random Thoughts:
If you are using Google restore for a large amount of apps then expect some lag in the early minutes or hour or so after the install.
If you are experiencing a lot of lag after a fresh install check to see if it is Google restore. Most people don't even notice the option is on when signing into the market.
If you are using any means to restore and that restore is from another ROM suspect what was installed if you are having problems with this ROM
If you are using any means to restore and that restore is from a prior version of this ROM suspect what was installed if you are having problems.
Try different radios to see which one gives you the best network speed and overall functionality. For me it is the 11.19 radio for my area.

Add-Ons and Mods
Interested in doing your own theming? Check out the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen
Lets you select battery styles, icons for all over, task bar mods, and even boot animations.
Use the framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, and SystemUI.apk from the ROM zip folder
==============================================
Helpful hints on battery life:
Look in Settings > Accounts & Sync and make sure you are not syncing anything you don't care about like news and stocks, etc. Leave them to update when opened. Same with E-Mail.
Go into the people/contacts and make sure you are only syncing contacts you need. For example I use Outlook and turned off Google and phone.
Turn off WiFi when you are not in range or need it. I boosted the search frequency time but it still helps to not have it searching at all
Adjust screen brightness to say 50% then put it on auto.
In Settings > Location turn off GPS and Phone Finder. That assumes you don't care about Phone Finder.
In Settings > Privacy turn off automatic backups if you don't use them
In Settings > Applications > Manage Applications uninstall ES File Explorer and HTC_IME mod (My black keyboard) if you don't use them. EFS runs in the background all the time.
Look in Settings > Applications and see if you have any apps that run all the time that you don't really use and uninstall them.
If I think of more I will add them.
Most of these use battery but also use RAM so you can save on both.

Cool. Downloading. I've tried all the 2.0/3.0 roms. I like incubuses the most but the call roaming issue bothers me. Hope map works on this one for me. Thanks!

Any chance of this having the Sence 3.0 stock market app and widget...? Or is it the same/older Stock app...?
Other than the lock screen, the new Stock widget is pretty sweet.

Nils, its great to see you taking part in GingerSense rom building!
I have been a fan of your work in the past and will give this one a shot.
I was waiting for a 2.1/3.0 mix that is stable enough for a daily driver (since I use my Inc for business also) and this looks like the one I will try.

Not as bad as it sounds because the framework is in system and the apps are in the internal storage

i'm love testing roms so when ever i flash a new rom i have to set all apps and stack them into folders(i prefer stacking apps in folders) and this is very difficult when u have more than 400 apps.
is there any app that back'ups the previous appdrawer settings and then restore's it ?
i've read it somewhere that a app is there and it works for samsung launchers.
anyone aware of it ?

Backup data of touchwiz launcher using Titanium Backup then restore it whenever you flash a new TW based ROM.
Go backup..... Their will be an option to backup the launcher layout
hi
been searching for this and didnt find
tried mybackup pro, titanium, never found a way to restore just the widgets
im on LSZ rom 4.1.2
any way to do it ???
thx
Widgets depends upon your launcher. You need to backup your launcher using TB. But you can't restore the TW launcher app as it is system app but try restoring just the data from TB.
Better, use third party Launcher from market set your home screen widgets and backup using TB and when trying other ROMs just restore app and data.

i tried with titanium backup, it restores all the icons, but never the widgets
and i kindda like TW so using it, not other launchers
ok got it ....
ok well, been reading here and there and found that NOVA launcher is quite good and still uses the TW features like the S pen and Air View
and can backup and restore the android screens and widgets, so its a good solution
just upgraded to JON 7 rom and got back everything like it was
thx
