This may be a weird question but can you run launchers with custom ROMs? I downloaded Go Launcher EX and I believe I ran into some problems with that app and beautiful widgets app. Would it be a problem between those to apps or my eclipse ROM? Thanks for any help
Sounds like your new to this.
In short, yes. You can use different launchers on roms, presumably any. Just like you can replace your launcher on any stock phone I've ever used with one from market.. ADW,GOlauncher,Nova .. etc.
I'm not familiar with eclipse rom but there "should" be no issues. If you are having issues I would try clearing app data from withing app manager for your problematic apps/launchers.

I want to use Launcher Pro as my main Launcher, but I read that it does`nt over ride TW, its just there with TW. My question is, since I dont use TW that much, could I clean it up by getting rid of some of the apps there, or would that also delete or affect apps etc. in Launcher Pro?
No point in having TW packed with stuff when I dont use it that much, cheers!

i agree having 2 launchers i think is essential as back up when modding either of them so you can use the other one to fix the one you break if you know what i mean. Just set launcher pro as default and you wont know tw is there.
Any apps you uninstall will be deleted from both launchers.
Ah cheers lads, I`m just trying to have my phone set up so it has as less apps/programs running as possible, I want it to be smoooooth running!
Anyone else have problems setting default launcher? i have TW and pro but every time i click home screen it asks to set default, says the default is set in manage applications...
Any ideas?
Try a restart dude, sounds stupid but might work, then select and check the default box when prompted.
Alternatively you could try get a rom from the dev section where TW has already been removed. I don't recommend removing it manually if you're not sure what you're doing..
Also, they're both just launchers, so they just list links to apps. If you remove an app in TW, it will be removed from LP
ive just installed darkys rom can someone please explain why i have two launchers ie launcher and tw launcher - what do these do and which one should i use as my default. thanks
Launchers launch your app. It's up to you which you prefer.
Dear friends
I updated custom rom. But samsung program_monitor is removed in this rom.
So, I want to re-install program_monitor.
I did to move program_monitor.apk in system/app with permission's setting and re-booted the system.
However, I can't see program monitor widget in add-->widget items.
How can I do ? Please help me to install.
Is your ROM using stock launcher? if not, then you cant, b'coz it is samsung widgets, not android widgets. which you cant see in custom launcher.

I don't use another launcher app.
Actually, I use CriskeloRom.
But CriskeloRom don't have program_monitor. So, I want to input program_monitor.
I can't write the reply in CriskeloRom thread because I am fresh guy.
Can't I use program monitor app in CrikeloRom ?
I decided to try a few custom roms and really like Icecoldsandwich so far.
But I miss the sms app and the combined dialer/contacts app from stock Sense 3.6.
The ones in Sense 4.0 (Nik's Project X) seem like a step back (dialer/contacts is 2 apps again, rather than 1).
Is it just a question of finding a rom with the apps I like, extracting the apk files, and sideloading them to Icecold?
What are the apk names for Sense sms and dialer/contacts apps?
Can I replace the stock apps in Icecold with the Sense ones?

Not possible
Sense apps rely on some other sense apps and framework in order to function
You cannot have some sense apps on an aosp based rom
BUT you can try 3rd party apps for that, like Go Contacts and Go SMS
What a shame. But I will just have to try out a lot of different roms then
Or try the Go apps or even go back to Handcent.
Try the cootek dialer+contacts app from playstore. Not as good as sense but that's what I use in CM7.

Hello peoples,
[hope i am in the right section now?]
I love android but hate having to restore widgets over and over again (i flash a lot of different kernels and roms). Up till now i have never found a way to backup and restore the widgets in there former glory (location/size/settings). I use Titanium backup/restore but i found that only a nandroid restore really restores everything (and that is not something i can use when trying out new kernels and roms)
Am i missing something? (an app for instance that will really save position and settings of a widget? Or is it just a know shortcoming in android? I have used almost every launcher around but none of them restore widget (position/size/setting)
Can someone link me to some wisdom?
ps: i understa...alvik VM that hosts the widget position/size?
66 views so far but no response...? Anybody?
Cause no one knows even me but I believe if you copy launcher data using tb and restore it although I didn't try but let me guess that it works

I think this because of the launcher. If you use Apex for example and you make a backup via the app all the settings will be saved on to SD card. If you want to use another launcher with the same widgets you'll need to replace them since the data cant be restored from apex etc. Some apps can import settings from others but this will be said by the app it self.
Like i said, it depens on the launcher. Perhaps to ask one of the developers of the launcher for more information.

Good advice. So i guess i have been obstructing myself by changing launchers on weekly bases. :laugh:
where is the lockscreen file of a rom?and whats its name?
and the wallpapers of the rom?
Hi guys,i like using stock based android roms such as cyanogenmod,paranoid android etc.But in the app launcher i am facing two problems.First one is that i cant sort my apps in "my order" it is always alphabetical.And secondly i cant create folders in the app launcher.
So can you suggest me a launcher that can do those things?
