When you are in manage applications, there is no home?
i cant find the advanced launch under manage aplications?
Cyan doesn't include advanced laucher... you installed a theme for it. Flash the template and it will revert back to the original.
or adb install -r launcher.apk, or replace it with the other.
yes i realized its the original but i want the original 3 screens and 4 icons per row
You can try pushing the launcher from Dwang's ROM. No guarantee it will work though. I do not know which .xml's were edited for that, but it should work

Hi,
I don't like the look and feel of ADWLauncher so I want to revert back to the stock launcher. It came by default with CM 5.0.8.
Also, how can I customize the trackball colours on different notifications? I can't find a way to do so.

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > ADW Launcher > Clear Defaults
The next time you hit the home key it should give you a choice. Pick the standard home and select "always use this".
Trackball colors can be changed with "Trackball notifications" from the market.

That's the reason I made the thread. There is no "Uninstall" option, only "Clear Data" in it's place, and the Launch by Default option says "No defaults set." and the "Clear defaults" button is greyed out.
What can I do to get rid of this?
I think you have to push the stock launcher. you can't uninstall it because that's the standard launcher. you can find the launcher in /system/app !! DON'T DELETE IT
You can only remove ADWLauncher with Adb.
Adb remount
Adb shell rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
However the default launcher is not on Cyan ROM. So you need to get it from somewhere and adb push it before removing the ADW

^ This. Or use another alternative like launcherpro, etc.
Where can I find the stock launcher?

Easiest way is to find a stock rom zip file, unzip it, and look in system > app
Should be a launcher.apk in there. Install it like any other apk.
here's launcher2 i pulled from cm5071 works flawless
http://www.mediafire.com/file/4e1hyt2zmog/Launcher2.apk
i put in 508 and resigned it runs like butter for me
I tried installing it, but the installation fails. Then I tried pushing it via adb, but it says "failed to copy 'Launcher2.apk' to '/system/app/Launcher2.apk': Read-only file system"

Thanks for that. I'll try it out now.
Also, how do I change the trackball notification light? It flashes green by default on a new SMS and I would like to change that.

Get Trackball Alert Pro (Market)

So there's no way to do it in the ROM itself? No settings?

Doesn't work. Still says it's a read-only file system.
I had problems with this too. When i pushed launcher2 to my n1 on cm 5.0.8 i kept getting fcs
To fix it i pull spareparts.apk and launcher2.apk from cm 5.0.7.1
And pushed it to /system/app
After that no more fcs

adb remount.
Have you tried LauncherPro?
I didn't like the ADW either but the LauncherPro is million miles better than stock and way smoother.. and it is more identical to stock than ADW as well.
What i did was i just installed it from the market and then i just deleted
ASW from the system via adb.
Always type "adb Remount" before doing anything except doing shell commands.
This is one of the reasons I'm not running a custom ROM, just 2.2, I HATE ADWLauncher, and all these ROMs use it as default, if they could at least keep the stock launcher in there and give us a choice easily, would be nice.
Hi all,
I personally really like the default Launcher2.apk from froyo, however unfortunately Cyanogen has now only included ADW.Launcher in cm6. After upgrading to cm6-rc1, I'm having trouble locating a copy of a Launcher2.apk from froyo.
As my phone's bootloader is not unlocked, it'll be a large hassle for me to go back to stock, and upgrade just to get Launcher2.apk...
I was wondering whether someone could post their stock /system/app/Launcher2.apk from an FRF91 install, to save me the trouble.
If you have adb installed, the command should just be:
adb pull /system/bin/Launcher2.apk
Cheers, Xanium
remote object '/system/bin/Launcher2.apk' does not exist
Just pull it from a stock rom and push it back overwriting ADW.
Mine had trouble seeing it. I tried a version I compiled myself from AOSP, as well as a resigned one from a deodexed FRF91 rom without success. I'm sure I missed something. I don't know what though. I've replaced the launcher in older CM versions with my own modified one without issues.
If you download CM6 from ROM manager you can choose to install with ADWLauncher or Launcher2
Launcher2.apk and Launcher2.odex are located at system/app. not at system/bin

Really? Awesome. I guess I'll have to try that.
Here is a stock AOSP build of Launcher2.apk.
EDIT: Rom Manager didn't allow me to select launcher. The file I linked to above worked fine though. Just reboot and it will default to Launcher2. The ADWLauncher entry in the Settings app will disappear as well.
I made an update.zip (for hdpi-devices) to make replacing the launcher easy for future upgrades. It just adds Launcher2.apk and removes ADWLauncher.apk.
Launcher2 just keeps FC on my G1. I'm using CM6-RC1.
I installed like:
adb .\Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk
adb reboot
Phone boots but launcher just keeps crashing. Do I have to do some kind of wipe to get this to work? Does anyone have Launcher2 working on CM6-RC1?
EDIT: Perhaps I need to uninstall the old ADW launcher? I rm'd it from /system/app but another post suggested using pm unsinstall com.android.launcher. I haven't tried that.

You need Launcher2 built from AOSP for mdpi. The one in my post is for hdpi. I forgot to mention that.
I get an error in Amon-Ra Recovery when trying to flash your zip file (nexus one, CMod RC2/nightly), Blunden.
Code:
E: can't open /sdcard/replace-launcher-signed.zip (bad)
Any ideas? I tried the manual uninstall of ADW and installation of Launcher2.apk but Launcher2.apk says it won't install.
Never mind. I downloaded your AOSP-compiled version of launcher.apk and it worked without a hitch. I must have had a corrupted file when I tried to install before. Thanks for posting the files!
no you cant

Any chance to re-upload the File?
Seems that mediafire refuse the request?!
Thanks!
Download Super manager from the market not astro or anything and put the Launcher.apk on your SCcard and then open super manager tap on the red square with the sdcard on it and u will see Launcher with the Launcher icon, tap it and press install and your good
hope this helped
Download works fine again
Thanks!
Hello, i need to change my default launcher, in my rom its comes with Launcher Pro by default, and i want to integrate with Go Launcher instead, but, to be used to default when i install the by Open Recovery, and i removed the Launcher Pro. Any file i need to change to make the Go Launcher the default launcher ?
Thanks
I'm not sure I understand what you did. But if you installed GO Launcher and then removed Launcher Pro, as soon as you reboot GO Launcher will be the home app.
Or, if you have both installed, you could go into Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->LauncherPro and then hit "Clear defaults" in the "Launch by default" section. Reboot and when phone comes up it will ask you to select which launcher to use (you can mark the checkbox to make it default).
no, i want to make these change directly from the zipped rom. Not when i install this ROM.

Just remove launcherpro.apk ( or whatever it is called ) from /system/app and replace it with the go launcher.apk
Thanks. I will try this.
You know how i can set too the configurations of apps and system by default too. For example, set by default to accept install of unknow sources, Jit disabled, etc. ?

Try removing it through Applications > All. If not, remove it from system/app using Root Explorer.
Everytime I try to open a widgetlocker theme .zip it just opens it with rom manager without asking me what I want to open the file with. I have also tried dropping the zip directly to the theme folder and still get nothing.
i am using an inspire running cm7.0.3 and widgetlocker 2.1.0
i tried searching and could not find anything on this issue that helped, thanks in advance

Going into Settings ~~> Applications ~~> Manage Applications ~~> Select Rom Manager ~~> Select Clear defaults about half way down page ~~> try opening again.
No defaults are set for rom manager
What are you using to open the zips? Try Androzip. Or even easier. Move the zips to the sdcard/data/teslacoil.widgetlocker folder and you're golden. No need to open it then.
Sent from my Xoom or Thunderbolt, pick one
Alright I feel dumb, I was putting them in the sdcard/data/teslacoil.widgetlocker but I did not know what to do after that so I was just going to settings instead of long pressing heh.
thanks for the fast replies though!
When I rooted my nook this morning, I selected Go Launcher because im kinda familiar with it. Anyways, im wondering if I could switch to that ADW Launcher and if so how?
Every time you install a new launcher, remove or update existing one you will be prompted which launcher do you want to use as the default.
ok but do i have to install the launcher through the bat file like i did when rooting it or do i get it off the market?
why didn't you try it? market should be fine.
Depending on how you rooted, you should be able to open NookColor Tools. From there you click All Settings > Manage applications > GO Launcher > Clear Defaults. Or you could uninstall it. That works too.
thanks brother. ill try it.
