[Q] How to change launcher - LG Optimus Black

Hi last question then im nearly finished making my rom...
How do i get rid of LGHome and add go launcher??? and how do i change the launchers icons..
thanks again

Open your rom zip file, navigate to /system/app/
remove LGHome.apk, and add GoLauncher.apk
(I think that the launchers' permissions will be changed, but if not, change it's name to LGHome.apk)

or you can just keep LGhome and let users choose whatever launcher we want, dont you think?

think we should leave the stock lg launcher, you should be able to choose just add golauncher

[Q] How to change default appearance of LauncherPro?

When i'm cooking a Custom ROM for my i9000,
does anyone know how to change the custom appearance of my LauncherPro when I freshly install it? So I don't have to restore the backup.
Better explained:
I changed my LauncherPro with a lot of Custom Icons (with Desktop Visualizer).
When I was done, I made a Backup (folder "launcherpro_backup" on /sdcard).
Now when I want to share my ROM, the User starts LauncherPro and SHOULD already see all my Icons/Themes etc.
How to do this?
Dont launcher pro warns you that widgets cant be restored?
Id say probably some kind kind of after install scrip, but still pre boot that will copy some files across.
If u decompile the apk, u'll find a default something xml in layout if i recall.
Honestly, id suggest u share your backup and try this Link

get a homescreen replacement from the market, like adw or launcher pro, then download the pack of icons to a folder on your phone, then manually change each one from your phone.
at least thats how i do it.
with adw you just long press the icon until you get a menu selection, then hit edit, then click on the icon, then find the image you want to replace it with
I believe you will have to use a new home laucher like launcher pro, go launcher or awd. They allow you to replace the icons. Also you will need an app like andro zip to unpack the zip file the icons are in. After unpacking they will be in your gallery.

but how can this be changed in the rom, before it was flashed? Is there a possibility to use a different launcher by replacing the original launcher.apk in the custom rom with 7zip or winrar, before I flash it?
e.g. i want to change the XperiaLauncher to LauncherPro
Extract the zip (rom), goto system/app/ delete xperia launcher and replace it with launcher pro (as you mentioned in above post).
Also similar for theme goto app in the roms zip and delete the theme, replace by xperia arc.
Rezip the rom and flash..

it's possible... i use winrar to open up apk's.... open up Nova via winrar and check the drawable-hdpi folder... you will need hdpi size pngs and replace them with the one's in the folder thats how you will change the UI look of it

Thanks for the reply. I use Nova launcher and knew how to change them individually - I was hoping to be able to change them all at once.
I should have made my post clearer....
