hey XDAs,
i got a arc launcher that already comes with a themed dock.
now i wanted to change the dock and i got this folders where i replaced this file with another .png of the same size.
when i try to install the launcher i get "application not installed" error.
do i need to change more than just the icon or what did i wrong?
so....nobody?
got the same error with app icons, too.
Should work if not you could try to recompile the apk with new png.
How did u install it? Flash via CWM or copy over?
1. Did u remove previous version first? Must be done first unless your flashing via cwm.
2. Also with framework dependancies etc remove any arc widgets prior to installing, install arc launcher then reinstall or copy over widgets again.

hey,
thx for your advice but i already managed it on my own

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!

hope this helped
Download works fine again

Hey Guys,
I'm on my Way by creating my own CustomROM. But there is one Problem: I want to remove the orginal TouchWiz-Launcher and replace it with LauncherPro (I moved the apk into /system/app).
BUT:
After applying the update.zip the screen becomes black after booting and the phone hangs up. Do you have any idea whats the Problem?
I hope my english is understandable, I'm a little bit out of practise
I only tried it with ADW Launcher Standalone Version, but worked like a charm
Removing TouchWiz30Launcher is no problem, also done on my phone!
But I installed LauncherPro into data partition with Market link
Check adb logcat output, you will see what the problem is

How do you install LauncherPro (or every Application with a MARKET LINK)?
I'm also creating Custom ROMs for myself, will plan to release them here later

Simply remove the apks of the "old" launcher from the update.zip and put in the one of launcher pro (folder system/app/) ...
Hi,
I made a mistake while doing the TouchWizmod and deleted the original TouchWiz data..
Now i have a blackscreen with the notification bar..
I fixed it with installing LauncherPro via Adb.
Now i can see something but when i go to Homescreen swichter it says not determined yet..
I already made a factory reset.
I'm thinking about flashing my SGS via Kies with reghack but I'm not sure..
Can anyone help me restoring the TouchWizdata?
Thanks.
Deleting the TWlauncher's data will only cause TWlauncher to recreate that data, it's not big problem.
You're actually describing a correct behaviour in the second part of your post - having installed launcher pro the phone now needs to know which app (TW launcher or launcher pro) to use as default; that's why it's asking you after reboot.
To fix TW launcher, pick that as the default app and leave it to recreate it's data - it should only take about 30 seconds or so to revert to the default TW layout; plus then maybe another 30 seconds or so to rebuild your app list when you click on applications.
Twlauncher is not in the list,so I cant pick it.
And it still says not determined yet.
Even after picking Launcher Pro..
Any Suggestions?
After i downloaded adb launcher i can pick Launcher Pro as default.
But i still need TW.
Pls help
In System/app do you have a file called TouchWiz30Launcher.apk?
No,I already said it.
I deleted this file =/.
To be sure i searched for this file.
I just got TouchWiz30Launcher.odex
Find TouchWiz30Launcher.apk here on the forums. There's a nice patched one with some good improvements you might want to try.
Also, this is not Development. Thread reported.

No, you said you deleted the data but what you deleted is the launcher itself.
So i can take the moded one,and put it in system/app and everything is fine?
Or do i have to follow an instruction
Pls help x.x

How would I install the Addons, ie. the clock and lockscreen, for the MIUI Theme ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189723 ) onto my phone correctly.
I already have the theme itself installed, but with the Clock and lockscreen I have to replace files in the framework apk and the deskclock apk... and that's where I get lost, which files do I replace?? I tried it once with the framework and tried to replace the framework apk on my phone with my "edited" one and it got me stuck in a bootloop, so I just re-flashed cm7 to get out of it. With the deskclock, I tried replacing and installing it onto my phone, but no app came up :/ any ideas?
Hello,
I have troubles with GDX - when I copy app to system/app and change permissions, install it and then reboot, still I don't see app in launcher - I couldn't use it. What I can do better? For example I would like to install xperia launcher and I can't. Thank you so much.
1.If you want to install an ordinary app you don't need to push it to system/app,just you should install it simply.
2.If you want to replace an app with the app in system/app,after change the permission you must push it to system/app,and just reboot ,no need to again install it.by the way remember just some special app you can move it to system/app and replace it with default one.like as Framework or mms,etc that someone cook it specialy for rom.
3.and finally if you want to replace an ordinary app to default one that exist in system/app,you must first install the app simply,after that you must go to system/app and delete the default one,and just reboot,and enjoy,
For example:
you want to replace the holo launcher with sony home launcher,first you must install sony home launcher then run it,and from settings make it as your default launcher,then go to system/app ,and delete the holo launcher,then reboot and enjoy!
i hope you got my meaning,good luck!
Thank you for yours help, but I have still the same problem.
I'm going to describe my own procedure:
1 - I want install Sony home launcher with corners.
2 - download launcher and put it on sd card
3 - Via root explorer going to sd card and install launcher - "Application not installed"
4 - then copy sony launcher and paste him In system/app - set permissions and install - "Application not installed"
5 - reboot
6 - nothing happened
7 - what I do badly?
Otherwise - I want not replace holo launcher.
Thank you

Maybe The file is corrupted or you're trying to install stock x8 launcher that won't install easily or it's odexedzl!
Try another one, apps must install then moved to system /app
