[APP] ICS Launcher With 3/7 Home Screens

I find it very annoying that the stock launcher comes with 5 screens and you are completely unable to add or remove any of them. I have never needed or used more than 3 screens so it is quite inconvenient to have a launcher with 5 screens that I cannot edit. So, I decompiled the stock ICS launcher and edited the layout to contain 3 screens. I would add an option to edit the screen count in the app itself but I have not compiled ICS on my computer and I do not plan to do so (at least until I upgrade my RAM).
I have also uploaded a version with 7 screens. I tried to allow screen rotation as well but ran into some issues when editing the AndroidManifest.xml. I'll see if I can get it working though.
Download 3 screens: http://www.multiupload.com/ZE4AY4IUM2
Download 7 screens: http://www.multiupload.com/ECCSUYTKI8
To install (rename to Launcher2.apk)
via adb:
Code:
adb push /path/to/downloaded/Launcher2.apk /system/app/
via root file manager:
- copy modified Launcher2.apk to sdcard. Copy from sdcard to /system/app/ and overwrite existing Launcher2.apk

I may upload a version with 7 home screens if anyone would be interested. Also a version which supports screen rotation. If anyone wants it let me know, as I do not.

downloading now, will report back. what did you use to decompile? i was using apk manager 4.9 when i was on the Epic but that was failing to decompile (i wanted to mess around myself). i updated apktool.jar and smali/baksmali and still no go.

Thanks. I would like a 7 home screen launcher if u don't mind. . That would be great.

I had some trouble too but realized you need a modified apktool.jar. I got it from the issues page on apktool. Here's the link: http://www.multiupload.com/YWJHOSZ7GJ
Just replace your current apktool.jar (I am assuming you use apktool) with this one.

Awesome, thank you much!

You also need to update your SDK package and pull the newest aapt.exe from the platform-tools folder and place that in APK Manager along with the updated APK Tool.
The new apktool gets you decompiling but you need the aapt.exe to complete the package so you can re compile....

Yes, I'd love a one screen version too!! Plz

you think it's possible to use in NO ics rom?it's only for ICS rom?

If anyone is interested, I've created one with 1 homescreen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373851

Can you add the modifications brenix added in the one homescreen launcher?

I'm having trouble installing. After you copy and overwrite in the system/app folder what do now?

ordinarily, you would fix permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot
or if adb:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Launcher2.apk
adb reboot
.. or reboot into recovery -- advanced, fix permissions. But I was having trouble with FCing after. Anyone else? I'm gonna give it another go. Realllly need 2 more screens

Tablet cannot download any type of file?

First note that I am on official 4.0.4 USA rom (USA model) that is stock but rooted.
Downloads from any browser won't work (chrome/stock/firefox) but I can download off say Tapatalk or within apps. So long as the link isn't to a mirror (file sharing website) it seems that is has something to do with the "downloads" app. As if it won't accept downloading through that app. Anybody else have similar problema/found a solution.
Also if somebody doesn't mind posting the downloads app (for stock 4.0.4 p7310) and see if I can delete then install to see if that works.

I once had that prob on a froyo rom on other device. Maybe the file u r dwding isnt supported by the device. I think dolphin browser can handle this bug. It has an external dwd manager.

The files are there. It's just the Download app doesn't know that they are. Use a file explorer to look in /sdcard/Download

Thank you both for replying. After flashing a rom and still not being able to download stuff I done some cleaning up I my sdcard partion. I Found a "file" called downloads.txt. After deleting the file downloads can now happen. I believe the problem is caused but how Android manages downloads. As the was no directory for downloads it was trying to download items into /sdcard/downloads. As that directory was a file (not even sure how that one happened) and not a folder it would attempt then fail.

You should change. txt to the original file extension e.g. zip

Can we get LG backup on our phones?

Verizon removed it (of course) but its present on the other G2 variants. Is there a way to get it on the VS980?

I tried pushing the apk and odex files to system/app and that didn't work. The app never showed up after a reboot so I think it has to be change in the framework.

[APK] Deodexed Nexus 4.4.2 System Apps

Hi! I did this for my previous phone, the LG Optimus L9 P769. Basically, I downloaded the deodexed stock 4.4.2 Nexus rom and pulled the system apps.
1) Make sure you're rooted.
2) Install a root file explorer.
3) This is optional. Backup the original system apps that you plan on replacing.
4) Use a root uninstaller to remove the system apps that you plan on replacing. DON'T REMOVE THE DIALER OR LGSYSTEMUI!!! If you do remove them, don't blame me because I warned you...lol.
5) Copy the Nexus apks over to system/priv-app and change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot
I'm not responsible if you decide to remove everything in the system/priv-app folder and turn your phone into a brick!

Thanks!

Any chance to pull the Nexus Camera app plz?
I hate the CM11 camera. Such poor quality compared to LG camera.

Basing on fact none of custom apps fix that quality, I highly doubt stock app from different phone would make it. But I ain't expert, ya know
