Help... i dont know how to do it
-If you have froyo with root, or GB with root:
You have to use appwidgetpicker (search in the forum for it). You have simply to copy it into your phone and give it the right permissions (you find the guide in the trhead in wich you can find it)
-you you have froyo without root or GB official (unrootable)
you can't
this is also to have stock widgets in every alternative launcher, so if you change launcher with every other alternative launcher you have the same problem.

I accidentally Deleted my Launcher app using titanium backup. Is there anyway to reinstall the launcher? I really don't want to have to reflash the whole rom. I'm just using a rooted stock rom.
i suspect you just need to push the launcher.apk to the appropriate destination. search around for instructions on how to do it, and a copy of the file itself
you can download helix launcher from the market. great launcher I use it all the time. I prefer it to the stock launcher anyways.
You can also just reflash the rom your using again, it wont delete any apps or anything and it will relace the stock files.
you'll need to find the Launcher2.apk from the Rom you use. just extract the Rom and search the extracted folder: /system/app . once you find the apk file, you'll need to push it to /system/app on your phone via adb or the Su file manager (available in market)
I did the same thing...
I have a Milestone 3 (Brazilian Droid 3) and after installing a new home screen, i deleted the standard motoblur home screen (not without a backup of course). I didn't know that a factory reset don't reinstall the standard programs of Motoblur, so now i have a handset without launcher.
I can't access by ADB, due the factory reset deleted my predefined configurations and I can't access the market to download a launcher.
The only thing I have is the lock screen, the notification bar and a black screen below the bar. When i plug the USB i have the options to access the Motorola Phone Portal, USB, Windows Media Link and Charge only.
I tried to find the base rom to reinstall, but i couldn't find. Tried to find a shortcut to use by the keyboard, and got the same result.
I'll keep trying to find a way, and if anyone could help us i'll be glad.
Thanks
I would have hoped that the OP has managed to get his phone working after a year and a half.
Have you tried using the desktop android market to push a launcher to your phone?

Is there any way to get the default Froyo launcher on CM6 instead of the ADW Launcher that Cyanogen has included (or LauncherPro, or any other alternative)? I found a Launcher2.apk that I think is used on the Droid Froyo build, but it just Force Closes when I run it on my G1.
Any ideas?
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2739-how-to-remove-adw-and-use-21-launcher/
i guess another option would be to flash super f and pull (via adb) the launcher then push it into Cy6
EDIT: same method as above but that is for the 2.1 launcher
Here is the apk.
Here it is. I had the same idea and pulled it from super F.
Wow, thanks guys, pushing that Launcher2.apk file worked perfectly!
I do have a quick follow-up question - how can I lock the new launcher in memory? (Can't find an option in Spare Parts). Thanks again!
Can you tell me how you did it.
I pushed it to the right place without removing adw laucher as i want to keep it.
This should give me the choice when i press home but nothing comes up?
hi everyone!
i was wondering if anyone can halp on how i can replace ADW launcher that CM has on his roms to the new Launcher2? i know it can be done through ADB but i don't know the commands. any help is much appreciated =)
Just go to the market and download/install the alternative launcher of your choice, once its installed you'll get a popup asking which launcher you want to use as default, check use as default, then touch the launcher you've just installed. That simple.
Since you want a non-market launcher the above suggestion will not work.
Prerequisite:
Your Launcher2.apk does not use a shared user ID or has been resigned with the CM6 platform keys. If you have no idea what I'm talking about then you need to following option #2 below.
Option #1 = Prerequisite satisfied:
Code:
adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/
Or, copy it to /system/app/ using a root file manager of your choice (ES File Explorer is great and free).
Option #2 = You don't understand the prerequisite:
Either install Kang-o-rama 1.0 Final (CM6) and use the Advanced Installer flag to install the new Launcher2 as your default launcher (easy and a great rom... ).
OR
Pull Launcher2.apk from the Kang-o-rama rom zip (/install/kor/Launcher2/) and then follow the procedure in Option #1 above (I have modified the new Google Launcher2 to work with CM6).
sweet !! thanks djmcnz!! option #1 worked perfect!!!
If I already have ADW Launcher EX, and there's something in the "standard" ADW APK that's clobbering one of my EX settings (the high-density icon hack), can I simply remove the standard ADW APK from the CM7 ZIP to install newer nightlies?
Rodney
yes, that is what I do. I'm no programer or anything, but all I do is right click and open the zip with out uncompressing it. just go to system/app. now you can remove the stock ADW and add your new launcher. I'm not sure if this is the right way, but it has work find for me in the past.
Can anyone tell me,
The LauncherPro can be uninstalled in this ROM?
I wanna to install the LauncherPro Plus but i must uninstell the older one first.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Simple, delete launcher pro.apk from /system/app, put launcher pro plus in there, rename it so that it has the same name as the deleted launcher pro, then change permission of launcher pro to rw-r--r--
Then reboot
