Hi, can someone tell me where to get the stock gingerbread launcher for the newest CM7 nightly ? The one from the market makes the icons blurry :S
Thanks!

I dont like ADW but thanks anyway

I use "Go Launcher" with CM7 along with "Go SMS" and "Go Chat" which you can send free texts, files etc with Go Chat/ SMS. Never had any problems with it

I use touchwiz 4.5 or a full Golauncher environment when I'm on Cm7 but already tried this stock nexus launcher that was working fine as far as I've seen:

Regarding all the stuffs included in or removed by the cwm zip I think it's better to extract the apk from it

I've installed the Launcher2.apk but I cant choose it :S It doesn't appear on the list ...

Put it in system/app?
I don't remember very well but if it says "application is not installed" (something like that,t'm french...) when you click on the apk then it has to be put in system/app.
Otherwise it's just that you have to press the big central home button of your phone after install,tick "choose by default" and choose this launcher.
Home switcher a nice app too to easily test launchers.

Ics folders .??

Hey guys, I am on cm7.1 . I wanna have ics folders on my phone wothout using go launcher ex. Is it possible? How? Tried to seaech on google and xda, with no joy. Hence posted.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App

I think i'ts not possible ;(

how about ADW Launcher EX? I'm not sure if this is what your looking for but it has ICS style folders.

Yes,use ADW launcher EX ,it's fast ,smooth and it has ICS folder .

Yeah I am currentlly using ADW laucher with an ICS theme, and that has ICS style folders, but you don't get the 'drag and drop onto another app to create folder' feature. Default theme for the launcher won't give you ICS style folders.

Also when u create a folder, u don't get to see the apps inside like ics. U just see a circle.with nothing in it.

Nova Launcher is exactly what you're looking for, search it in the market

Use the new version of adw ex.
It has what u need.

I use Solid explorer. You have this there: Devices: Internal/External/System. It is with JB that no more that way to enter in external sd I think.

I got back to ADW. I think it is the best launcher out there. No lag at all! I will try Holo HD later, but I love ADW!!!

Try the default launcher of Android 4.2, just install as any other .apk

Stock weather widget
I have a problem about a widget. I love the stock weather widget, but it works only with the stock launcher. I'd use NOVA or Apex, but I can't add this widget.
Anybody solution?

Request: Stock Launcher theme ICS/Jelly Style

Hello everybody,
first of all i want to apologize for asking for it. But i definately can not do it myself.
I´m just looking for an .apk theme for stock Optimus UI which replaces the app drawer icon with the stock nexus style one,
cause i don´t like the default ones. That´s eveything i need, all the other desktop icons can be changed via Optimus UI launcher.
So if anyone has the same interest and likes to do something like this i would be more than happy.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers
Daniel

Nova launcher or apex launcher

There is an app in lg smart world by it you can download themes for the stock launcher , made by lg .
I don't remember the name maybe "theme box" or something like that

Hy, thanks for the hint with smart world. I'll have a try and log in. I have holo launcher hd on my phone, but not running cause i'm not rooted and can not use the widgets tab.

Are you rooted? If yes, just copy and replace original file via es file explorer or total commander to /system/app
If you're not rooted then you can't install it.

^This. No root required. Running smooth.

AW: Request: Stock Launcher theme ICS/Jelly Style
Yeah i know, but unless i am not rooted i can not use widget drawer to place widgets on homescreen. It will be possible when we get jelly update till end of march (i hope/want to believe). But i really favour stock launcher so i think about root and have a try with this custon biz theme.

Well, not entirely true, you can still use the Widget drawer, cept it's going to be the Gingerbread style one. But yes, in order to have a true stock ICS or JB experience I guess we have to wait till LG updates roll out.
If you don't wanna root. I sure don't. Not yet atleast.

[L3/L5]Modified LGHome and additional widgets

Look at the attachments for the required files.
I own a L5, and it works on there. Can someone confirm it also works on stock firmware from L3?
Reading the feedback in this thread I concluded that it works on L7 as well, but because this launcher was made for mdpi devices, it looks very ugly.
Chacha_Ivanov's modified stock launcher:
I didn't create this myself. I 'stole' it from 4pda.ru
Differences from unmodified version:
Support for themes.
Backup / restore desktop and widgets (you'll find this inside home screen settings)
Removed name labels from icons in the dock bar.
Quick access to lock screen settings
Installation of LGHome:
Replace LGHome3.apk with new LGHome3.apk inside /system/app
Remove LGHome3.odex
Installation of themes:
The 3 themes can be installed link any other app
Source: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=353120&st=120#entry15737338​
Addition stock widgets
These are created by LG, and were available the firmware of some phone (I don't know which). They were discovered by chacha_ivanov
You can install these like normal applications. Some of them rely on other stock applications, therefore I'm not sure if they work on all firmware versions.

It works on my phone. I have a L5. I think it will also work on L3 and L7 (and maybe even L9). To replaces LGHome3.apk you need to have root access.

Re: [L3/L5/L7]Modified LGHome and additional widgets
Thanks alot for share, works perfectly on L7
These widgets got somehow removed from L7, dunno bout others, i think it was removed couse of small system portition size

Unlike L5 and L7 which already use ICS, stock L3 is still GB, so I doubt this will work. However, my L3 is running CM9 now so I'll give it a try
Edit: It's actually worked although the app drawer is somewhat cropped, it lacked resources for LDPI.

The mod works perfectly well on my L5. I prefer using it, because the launcher I had was using way too much RAM. Thanks :good: I just hope for more themes soon

Great
Work great on L7!!

ONie Ive got lg l7. I used total commander to delete stock lghome (earlier backuped it) and copy new, then delete the odex. Now when im pressing the home button i have error like "lghome has stopped". Should i reboot or restore backuped lghome? Unfortanely i haven't backuped the odex so if i should restore pls send me the file thx
Ok nevermind i restored stock lghome.apk and lghome.odex now everuthing works like earlier. But when i replace lghone.apk and delete the odex like the instruction says its still not working
Nice now its not working at all. Tell me what should i do i dont want to flash
LOL. Its working now. When i copied the new lghome.apk i installed it and unnistaled and i have the modded launcher now i have both apk and odex files in system/app and the mod is working.
Ive got lg p700 with stock v10k rooted to be sure

Try to get in apps and look for the home launcher, then uninstall it. After it get to the copied home file and install it (maybe reboot needed). Repeat until success
It worked for me.

Installed modified home launcher on my L7, it works but looks ugly. It is definitely designed for lower resolutions.

Working on L7 but launcher is for hvga resolution.
Music widget is great
