OK. So I was getting bored with the gray icons in the settings menu so I decided to change them up. First thing that came to mind was the TouchWiz icons, so I pulled the icons from there to use in CM.
So this is for CM7 only and to install just push the apk to /system/app/
To install through adb type:
adb remount
adb push "Drag file here" /system/app/Settings.apk
OR with root explorer:
1. Copy the apk to your sdcard
2. With root explorer move the apk to /system/app/
Hope you enjoy (its my first real upload, and its not much)
Ohhh and I'm not responsible for anyone bricking theirs phones or who need a wipe because of this, although I don't really see how that is possible... lol
Something is wrong with the display button in settings. It force closes once you hit brightness.
Hmmm... let me look into it...
works great in my lg gt540 ! But don't forget to reboot your phone.
Maybe I'm missing something but I did what u said but it bricked my phone. I used root explorer to put the apk in system/app and it copied over the stock system.apk, rebooted and the phone was bricked.
I was able to reflash in recovery and the phone is fine now but I tried a bunch of other ways and I can't install the touchwiz settings... What am I doing wrong?
Sent from my HTC Vision with CM7-RC4
I got it to work finally.
I copied the apk over the stock apk with Root Explorer, mounted R/W, changed the persmisions for the new settings apk (i allowed all), mounted R/O, rebooted and it worked.
Thanks the colored settings are really awesome!!!
FC's on wireless & networks setting

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!
ive uninstalled and reinstalled, ive closed down adw launcher and relauncned but nothing.
im also noticing that after installing widgetlocker from the market it disapears on reboot as well.
this all started happening after i pushed some smoked widget replacements and edited the drawable file on widgetlocker to include my own slider
i think there might be a problem with the apks...maybe i need to sign them myself or something? im not sure if that would be the problem....any suggestions?
im rooted on CM 6.1

All widgets, or just the ones you messed with?
As for WidgetLauncher, about every 6-8 weeks (ie: when I reboot) it seems like I recall it doesn't come up quite right from reboot, but if I launch it manually it's fine after. Not sure if it's a timing thing or what.
And of course I'm sure you've made sure these widgets aren't using Froyo Apps2SD (not Apps2Ext, that's fine) because widgets don't play from SD.
all widgets whether i touched them or not.
they are all installed on internal memory (including widget locker)
ive been messing with it and i uninstalled widgetlocker..all my widgets loaded fine after i deleted and re did them. I reinstalled widgetlocker and everything works like normal...untill i pull the widgetlauncher apk...edit the drawable files...recompile as an apk and push to the phone. the new files i push dont show up, and then on reboot widgetlauncher is no where to be found on my phone. no icon in the app tray or anything.
so ive been messing around, and i think i fixed the problem. I used these instructions courtsey of Andrewst in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785081&highlight=widgetlocker
Method B - Manual copying via Root Explorer - for root user only
* Uninstall your current copy.
* Manual remove from /data/app if you can't uninstall manually.
* Copy my MOD copy to /system/app via root explorer.
* Before copying, make sure click the Mount R/W button for write access in root explorer.
* Set permission to rw--r--r
* Restart the phone.
* Open up your WidgetLocker, goto Settings -> Look & Feel -> Slider & Layout and choose iPhone.
so far so good....
i might have spoke too soon....looks like the widget are failing to load again...hmmmm
Hi, I have been flashed the CM6.1, and just now i tried to use root explorer to install some modded widget by the putting them in system/apps method. But it doesn't work anymore. After i have put the .apk there, i go to the add widget page and i can't found that specific widget. It works perfectly when i am using my stock 2.1 rom. Can anyone give some possible solution? Appreciate it so much !
Do you set the permissions correctly?
Do you restarted the phone after past the apk in system/app?
I guess you have to reboot and then click on the apk through root explorer and select install also before they appear on the menu.

Oh yes. You guys have figured out the problem. I didn't set the permission correctly therefore it doesn't work.
Hi
I accidently removed dialer 2.2.2 from the device using Titanium Backup, and i need to restore it in order for my phone calls to work.
I tried downloading some froyo Phone.apk but i cant install. It stops fast and syas "Application not installed" when i click it.
I put it in /system/app/ using adb. I didnt work either to install it through adb. It said cannot find file.
I need a original copy of Phone.apk and maybe some explanation of how to install it as it were before i removed it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960374 has a complete dump of 2X global version. You can find the dialer in there.
There are several threads about the joys of reinstalling system apps (usually ppl killed the launcher) among them are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992945
EDIT: next time freez in stead of uninstalling... frozen apps will be restored by a simple factory reset. uninstalled won't.
Thx I am downloading and hoping it will work with the original Phone.apk

it should work.
I downloaded the package and pushed the Phone.lnk to the /system/app/ directory. After that i went to a file browser on the phone and tried to execute the Phone.apk file.
It came with the same message. Do i need to install through adb or hard reset?

You don't need to install apk when putting in /system/app.
Copy apk to sd, download and install rootexplorer copy apk forom sd with rootexplorer go to system/app push button “mount R/W“ paste apk and reboot the phone. Done
Well isnt that the same as using adb.
I have the Phone.apk from the optimus 2x dump in the /system/app/ folder now, but i doesnt fix the problem. It doesnt seem to get installed when rebooting.
How can i see if its installed. I checked Titanium Backup, which still shows the Dialer 2.2.2 grey with strike-through (Data backed up, with no possiblity of restore).
How do i force it to "reinstall" upon reboot.
I tried restoring a widget that i removed, and that worked, so maybe the phone.apk is installed after i pushed it to /system/app, but something else is wrong.
What could be the problem? Missing data or something, which i need to restore somehow?
Isn't there a way to reflash the device with original rom?
Any ideas?
I downloaded the Global System.zip from this forum. I successfully went to the android recovery menu on the phone. I can choose to update the phone using System.zip on sdcard.
Is that the way to go?
have solved the problem?
Is possible to edit the phone.apk? the stock "incall" app is simple orrrrrrible
i too am missing my dialer app. whenever i touched the phone icon it would crash and go to home screen i thought if i uninstalled it and reinstalled it with titanium pro it would fix it. but it now wolnt let me reinstall. ive been searching the forum and trying different ways to fix the issue but nothing is working so far ... how can i get this is work?
Phone.apk
Did you guys figure this out? I installed
Works 100% on the ZIO with a touch of work.
Since you need about 8Mb of space on your system partition, you'll need to move some apps from /system/app onto /data/app in order to fit the lib and apk.
Use root explorer to copy /system/app/Maps.apk to the root of your SDcard, then use root uninstaller to uninstall Maps.
**make sure you enable r/w access in root explorer.
Run "Maps.apk" from root of your sdcard and instal it like normal. This will install it in /data/app and free up about 5Mb of space on /system.
Remember, this is a beta test. More information can be found HERE.
Directions:
1) Download HC-Music to the root of your SDcard
2) Open with winzip/rar/7z and extract a copy of "/lib/libjumper.so" to the root of your SDcard.
3) Use root explorer to back up "Music.apk" in /system/app
3) open shell on your phone from PC (via adb)
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/libjumper.so > /system/lib/libjumper.so
cat /sdcard/HC-Music.apk > /system/app/Music.apk
exit
exit
adb reboot
After you reboot, just open up "Music".
Things you'll notice:
You'll notice "Jumper Test" icon in your drawer. Pretend its not there. Its some debug console for the streaming capabilities of the player (to connect to cloud, itunes, etc...), but the service is not working, and cricket isnt in the list of compatible carriers.
You'll notice "Sync Music" in your sync settings (under menu->settings->accounts n sync). Leave that unchecked.
I'm gonna try this same process for 2.3 mms

Let me know how that goes for ya. interested in a new mms, but I dont want Handcent and I like the way 2.3 mms looks
Tried it with the above method. It took but didn't move the MMS. Put it in the /system/app but didn't move the app itself, just made a folder. So I tried installing it straight from the SD card and it works like a charm! Zio a go go with Gingerbread MMS!!!

Can you please provide the link to the mms.apk file you used to install? I found one on the forums but it won't install straight from the SD card.
We'll start new threads with directions for all new findings
