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?

I made a flashable version of these files for the easy way to install them

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.

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.

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.

try mounting system in recovery first, then flash it. I'm not using safestrap right now so I unzipped the file and manually copy and posted what was inside and it worked fine.

I did this with both mount/System and flash along with copy and paste. This did work for everything except for Gmail and Facelock. I completely lost the Gmail app and the facelock option when trying both ways.
I am not sure what I will try next. Going to have to noodle it a bit. Really like the magazine apk!
Yeah I had that same problem with Gmail. Didn't try the face unlock though. Magazines is pretty cool, but I'm loving the sound search widget. Better than shazam and soundhound

Did not coping the gmail apk over work for you?
No, it would show in /system/app but not in my app drawer. The other weird thing that happened is after I got the jb versions running, the ones that came stock on the bionic "updated" to their "current" versions. Had to disable auto update to keep them.

Thanks, it works great on my Atrix 2 official 4.1.2 JB , but - as you see in the attachment picture - the google search bar dont have the Google logo (to tell the truth the logo only working good in the official ICS roms, not in JB)
can you send this 2 lib files?

Every thing went OK but I get an error saying can't load widget on 3rd party launchers. If I select launcher or home screen I get the same issue.
EDIT: I should mention that I'm using AOKP. If it matters.

You need stock launcher. The widget does not work with third party launchers. The title is a bit misleading.

I know I'm going to get crap for this but the attic hd was one of my favorite androids of all time.it was the first phone I rooted and unlocked the bootloader without help, and let me tell you it wasn't easy. So when I saw your post I was elated! Followed your directions to a T and still its not working. I statlrted looking threw the files to see if I could figure it out but this is again my first time trying to use a widget made for ics to 4.4.3 HTC one m8 both rooted and bootloader unloacked. Do you think there is any way to get this moved to the m8? I will be more than willing to help, I am no n00b to android dev. But I would be so greatful. Hit me back here or PM me so I can once again enjoy that brilliant widget, because both of the ones that you can get from the play store just didn't get it quite right.
Thank you for taking the time to take a look.

This here is what I am running on my tablet, thought I would go ahead and share in case it is what anyone else is looking for
A simply themed rom for 8013
based on md3
This is debloated to my liking, added in the quick boot app to easily boot into recovery, seemed easier than any mods for the 4 way reboot.
There is a zip below, non flashable, just take out what you want to add and toss it where it goes before you flash, or toss what you want added into a flashable zip and flash later.
**stuff**
rooted
busybox
init.d support
no boot sounds
no camera sounds
debloated to my liking
lightly themed
1% battery icon
a few build.prop things
Screenshot
the notification area with the toggles is all white and black as well, but I can't get a screeny of that for whatever reason
Downloads
rom: here
removed stuff here
md5 is at the download site
thanks to the kitchen
install like anything else, make a backup first, nothing is my fault, do whatever you want at your own risk
I originally tried doing this with the chinese version released more recently but it was all off, like wifi didn't want to work and stuff, so whatever
reserved maybe
Thank you for your efforts. Is always nice to see some more variety for this beast of a tablet.
