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?
Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)
Droid 3 Rooted (Stock Kernel, Custom lite De-bloat)
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.

P.S if I could can you provide the stock. Apk thanks again
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
is it launcher2 that you're talking about? I think you can rip it out from any froyo update zip
Yeah that is what I am exactly talking about launcher2.apk but I dont have the update.zip file
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Here it is, I was just looking for this myself, Went through a lot.
But to use it,
1.Uninstall ADWLauncher (with Titanuim backup because removing it from the system/app folder doesn't remove some residue it still leaves.)
2.Install this Launcher2.apk with (adb install Launcher2.apk) since i dont know how to install from Titanium
3.Press home button
I found the app somewhere on the forum, its compiled from AOSP
>> Edit: All these steps are required because if not Launcher2.apk WILL FORCE CLOSE on you and you probably dont want that <<
Thanks man ill try it when I come back from work thanks a bunch
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Force closed after install. Followed The Instructions exactly.
Model: GT540
Rom: Cyanogenmod 6.1/OpenSwift 2.2.1 FroYo!
Is it possible for anyone to create a .zip file for installation of the modified Touchwiz transparent launcher. I have tried to follow the instructions have been unsuccessful. Any help is awesome. I am running clean DJ05 deodexed. Thanks.

Really? All you have to do is move the .apk from the sd card to your /system/app directory with any root capable file manager. Or adb push. Takes less time than it did for me to swype this.

Which Rom are you running and did you have the touchwiz.odex file also. I have been able to do everything else but this one

I'm pretty sure there was a .zip file in the thread about the vibrant dock. You can't change the dock for the fascinate launcher. Its a .xml file edit or something like that.
I would like a transparent dock aswell but the vibrant launcher is as close as were gonna most likely.
Would also be nice to have a themed twlauncher as I prefer it over other launchers at this point. :/

I did too but I would rather have the ability to uninstall apps from the launcher and set the home screen to what I want it to be. The Vibrant launcher doesnt allow those things...
Thanks everyone for the input. I will look for the vibrant launcher well.

Hello fellow xda members. I had a problem the other day. I installed sgs tools and tried downloading a different launcher. It loaded the launcher fine but I wasn't satisfied. I tried restoring it but it gives the error "folder not found." I was wondering if anybody knows how to reinstall the built in default tw launcher and if I can possibly restore the layout.

I'm sure you could find the apk with a search.
Are you running a custom rom?
No, I'm runnin default android 2.2 froyo. Rooted, but nand backup doesn't work either. A few months ago, I tried backing up with rom manager, but after rebooting, their still wasn't any backups availible to restore. When I boot into system recovery, it doesn't even open cyogenmod reovery.

CM revovery? Stock 2.2? I'm confused.
I tried. Google doesn't show any, only custom launchers and I don't want that.

Did you manually check the sgs tools folder for the backup of your stock launcher?
I've been using the gingerbread launcher from the market and I really like it. Just putting it out there to think about it.
Sorry I meant clockwork recovery mod. THAT didn't work or I wouldn't be asking for a way to reinstall default tw launcher. Thanks for all the current ideas

If you still need it, I attached it for you. Just drop it in the system/app folder. Good luck.
Never mind.someone else got it.

The one from the market is super easy. And if you accidentally delete it, it's there to reinstall
This is the one from my phone. Dont know if it is what you are looking for as i am currently running Continuum, but good luck.
I think you might need the .odex file as well since I recall seeing that you are running stock 2.2. Did you delete that file?
I'm not sure. How do I check?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You can use Root explorer or a similar app and navigate to system/app. See if there are .odex files for the corresponding apk's. If the one for the launcher is missing than that would cause the issue. What happens when you try to run the launcher? does it just force close?
edit: I was able to find the apk and .odex file from a stock 2.2 build. Just drop it in hopefully this works. Just unzip and extract the files manually.
I can't find it. All there is is the .odex for the tw launcher wallpaper

^ I was editing my post while you posted, in case you missed it, I added the files you need.
Could anyone kindly make stock 4.0.4 (preferably, if not 4.0.3 is fine) launcher ZIP file for Nexus S 3G that would replace third party launcher on custom ROM?
Thank you!!!
Could anyone help me out? I'm stuck in FC problem because of a custom ROM and I already re-flashed multiple times in the past few days so I would really hate to do that again...

Extract the launcher from a 4.0.4 Rom. Replace the one in your system with root explorer. Remember to set permissions correctly.

Well as of now, I can't proceed beyond lock screen... so I can't copy any files using Root Explorer. It force closes several different apps constantly like Launcher, Wallet, Book, etc... I have to pull the battery.
So I was looking for a flashable zip that would replace (get rid of) the custom launcher.
That's what I did though.
I was using nuhetri-reloadedv 3.0.1 ROM. It asked me to choose between APEX and Trebuchet launcher... it worked fine for couple reboots.
Then it just force closes everytime. So I reflashed it and did what you asked, but it still force closes........ So I'm back in backed up stock ROM for now...
I have an earlier version of Nova if you want. It's a flashable zip.

Put a new from on your SD card via PC. Then give it a clean install. And you're done.

I was doing some looking around and i found the launcher and circle widget will work on my rooted droid 4 with the JB OTA.
i installed all 3 files in the zip with the Motorola Files program(CircleWidget3D.apk,Homescreen.apk,Weather.apk)
i did do this on stock rom in slot 1 to be safe
only problem i see is when you pick a widget to put on a home screen it will not put the one you picked there. It will pop up a list then you have to select the widget you want from there.
this is NOT a flashable zip.
it does not remove the stock launcher and the 3 files can be uninstalled.
if you want to give it a try you can download it here Link
As Always If You Break Your Phone It Is Not On Me
only thing i dont like is that it lags a slight bit when moving things/swiping through apps, but otherwise its pretty good. the widget choosing thing only adds 1 more second to my experience so it's not terrible
Will it work on an unrooted device?

It should. seeing that its just apks. just use the file browser to install the apks and make sure unknown sources is enabled in your security settings
