Here is the froyo launcher2.apk from the G2 system dump. You must be rooted and uninstall stock launcher2 first via root explorer or titanium backup. I also suggest making a backup first. It runs smooth on my incredible. 7 home screens, 3D app drawer, etc. I figured i would make it easier for anyone who wants it. Just download then place on your SD Card and install. You do need to allow installation of apps from unknown sources in application settings first.
ONLY WORKS WITH AOSP ROMS

No need to be sorry. My phone is back to stock 2.2. I'm waiting for a replacement cause I'm having major issues. I'm sure that's why it's not working. Thanks dude
I tried to use this on CM 6.0.2 and after I download it says I already have it installed. I really just want the 3D app drawer. Any idea?

you need to long press the phone icon on the bar and when the menu pops up select "change shortcut" then select application and then click on phone and you should be good to go hope this helps you.
It's good tool. But I have only G7, hope yours can work correctly on my phone!
Thank you for sharing.
I've been looking forever for a stock froyo looking launcher that's more like the Nexus One. ADW is ok but I don't like the dock icons. The G2 launcher is perfect but I can't get the phone button to work on my Droid Incredible OTA 2.2 (Rooted). I've read through the post but havent seen any solution Long pressing on the phone button and changing the short cut doesn't work at all (read that in another post) SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I really like this launcher

Thanks for the fast reply! I think im going to go with this since Epic 3.0 isnt out yet. im going to flash this as soon as possible
Market
Thanks for posting the files and instructions. This is awesome.
I noticed (accidentally) that some items are missing from the Market after performing this modification. I do not use any of the missing items, but I thought I'd let you know.
I was searching for a weather app, and MyCast does not come up. Pure Calendar is also missing. I only noticed because I usually see them there when searching, so I am not sure of any others. I also tried searching for the 2 apps by name, and they were missing.
I apologize in advance if this is a situation that is only applicable to myself and/or if this is the wrong place to post potential bugs.
you will need to edit the build.prop as the r2-d2 is not yet released.

edit: flash unsuccessful, after I wiped Cache and Data, then flashed the zip file, my root was gone, no superuser permission, all the bloat is back

Like the same non R2D2 ROM?
* update - clean rom, will try pushing the apk from full rom in the am.
Can't get swype to work. Doesn't even show up as an option. Did I do something wrong? If not is there a way to get it back up and running?
* fixed - thank you motaboy for the quick response. Simply pulled apk from full rom, then installed through app manager on astro. So far it is working, no need for a root file manager at least for me.
Feel kind of stupid since this turned out to be so easy to fix .

Are you using the Full or Clean ROM?
If clean it is not in there. Open the Full ROM Zip file, go into the system/app folder, copy skype to your SD card on phone, use root explorer or a browser that can browse the system folder to copy the skype.apk to system/app on phone. Give it the proper permissions, and you should be set if you are running the clean rom. If not then it should be under keyboards in settings. You may need to enalbe it from there.

I tried to edit the two lines in buld.prop for market fix but some apps were still not showing up. Not sure if it needs more edits or what is up. I deleted cache and data from market before I checked with new build.prop. I am sure I did it wrong
EDIT:
I think I used the keys for 2.3.15 and I recall the same issue. Let me try with the shipping keys...
# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint

I tired with those keys but did not work, what else needs to be changed?

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
the default theme, if i'm not wrong, is the android stock theme. which is the one, in my opinion, every rom should include as default, or at least, as an option (cm 6.1.3 from wolfbreak is awesome, but i don't like the theme)
i think you can get it reflashing the rom

Why don't you just extract the framework from beta 4 and use it on wolfs cm6.1.3
Or install beta 4 and add Cm settings, then add apps etc from wolfs rom?
Just a thought
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Thanks for the reply guys. Maybe I should have been more specific. I'm currently using Z's freeX10 beta 4 and the thing is I don't want to reflash every thing or else I'd need to customize everything back to the way it is. Too time consuming haha. Basically I want it because when I installed another theme before, some aspects of the theme remained on my phone even though I installed another theme. I'm not sure how to get rid of them, so I was hoping the default theme would get rid of them. I'll attach pictures to this post in a few minutes to show you what I mean. And yeah, I did try to extract the framework from the beta 4 but i failed miserably, It didn't let me install it through recovery
EDIT: attached pictures from phone. basically I really hate that youtube icon and I wanna get rid of it and revert it back to the normal one.
You wont be able to install framework through xrecovery, you would have to swap it using root explorer and change permissions, reboot then it should be fine
But make sure you copy the framework that was on before just in case anything happens, and/or backup using xrecovery for safety

I have read this before in another thread. Are you familiar with adb? you should be able to pull it off the phone. But be sure to have adwex installed first. Or you'll have fun trying to launch something! not sure but deleting it with a root explorer may work too.

I can do it with the app "uninstaller for root". I just wanna know if its gonna make everything mess up. I already installed adw ex and am using it. But I was curious if this'll work cause I don't rly need the reg adw if I have ex.

You don't have to remove one to use another. You could have 10 installed and just pick 1 to use at any given time.
on cyanogenmod official wiki there is a page listing all the software that can be safely removed and how to remove. just go on the official wiki and search for a page named barebones

ADW-Ex UI freeze
Is anyone experiencing random frezzes on ADW Ex usage running on Samsung GSII X T989?
Just in case some were not aware, but, Touchwiz works pretty darn well on the GB infused ROM.
Link----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
I downloaded his TW4 Manager and used the update feature in it to install the touchwiz but I didn't know that it would replace my current. When I did that, and tried to use the default msg app, touchwiz force closes every time you start doing something. So to fix that, I uninstalled TW4 Manager and went to system/app in root explorer and deleted the extra name it added to TouchWiz30Launcher.apk, and then it didnt force close anymore. I don't know if anyone else will have this problem but theres my fix for it.
*********EDIT*********
Some people are getting force closes and most is my fault for incorrectly giving instructions. Sorry.
A way to do it is just rename touchwizlauncher30.apk to something that would change its file extension. Like adding a letter after the .apk and then going to applications/manage applications in the setting then go to all and make sure you have all apps named touch wiz uninstalled and then go to the touchwiz site and just download the basic apk. Not touchwizmanager but just touchwiz4.apk or whatever the correct name is and copy it to system/apps and the click it and install it while still in the folder. Ultimatly, I ditched touch wiz 4 because it was causing my phone to reboot randomly when something was using too much resources. Make sure you have a back up launcher installed like go launcher or something in case you don't like touchwiz and decide to uninstall it from apps/manage apps/all because you wouldn't have a launcher left to do anything. If you want your original touchwiz back just go to system/apps and remove the extra things you added and make sure it says TouchWiz30Launcher.apk I'm not entirely sure if that last part about getting original touchwiz back would work since I ditched it too and just use go launcher but it should in theory work. Sorry for the inconvenience peoples.
*********EDIT*********
Another way to possibly install it without getting force closes would be to just download the TW4Launcher.apk and just copy it to system/app
I find this alot less laggy than the touchwiz that came with Infused V2. Hope yall like it as much as me.
TL;DR ---> READ THE WHOLE THING

Not really sure about this. I checked TWManager for the SGS2 widgets and it was empty. SGS1 widgets were there though.. Maybe he pulled them out or something for editing I guess.
I hope someone can figure it out or he tells us how he got them to work. That was the only reason I downloaded tw launcher 4.5

Sorry for my dumb question but what widgets are that good? I haven't bothered to check the sgs2 out as I'm pretty satisfied with my infuse
Loving tw 4.5, coupled with gtg's rom and bedwa's kernel it is very snappy. Launcher pro still is a bit more customizable, but tw looks cleaner and more sharp.
Infused with gingerbread **** thanks GTG465X
This also works well on Indused v1 Froyo. As for the widgets, I searched the Galaxy S (I9000) Themes and Apps forum. I've got 10 widgets from the SGS II. They all install, but some of them don't fuction completely. Don't know how I could share them here.

TW4 launcher and ssgii widgets
Ok here are the links for everything you need to get ssg2 widgets to work.
Download the the TW4.zip and flash via CWM this will flash TW4 and ssgii widgets. This will give you that simple looking clock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14907138&postcount=549
Download this zip file from here http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=444&t=207696 This contains the weather widget. Everything else in that zip is useless. Unless you want to use them.
and use this mirror http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WKTF4Q90 The other ones are ****e.
Using a file manager of some sort ie esfile explorer or root explorer. Extract the gs2app.zip and pull this file out "SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk.zip" and pull that file within that zip and place it into system/app
That should do it. Instructions are pretty straight forward.
Please hit 'thanks' if this has helped at all.

You should flash the tw4.zip in CWM. That will install both touchwiz4 and some of the sgs2 widgets. Then use tw4 manager to update to the latest stable build. And enjoy.
