CM7 and ADW - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Idk where to post this question but I'ma ask here. Can I uninstall the default ADW that comes with the rom and use ADW EX
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

You can with titanium backup it might cause problems so back it up first
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

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.
Chime I in anyone if you have another way.

not so understand....= =

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.

It worked. I used uninstaller for root and just applied a diff launcher for default before I did it and it took it right off.

There is no dependency here. I've been removing ADW from the update zip and replacing it with the EX version pre-flash since alpha 7.

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

G2 launcher2.apk for AOSP rom ONLY

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

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
Hey guys sorry for not replying sooner. Apparently this only works with AOSP roms (i.e. cyanogenmod, ruby, shadowrom) I'm updating the OP right now.

Touchwiz 4.5 ***EDITED. PLEASE READ EDIT****

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.

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 are amazing! Thanks so much!!!!

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.

[Q] Installing the latest CM7 alpha5

Hi,
I have have been using alpha4 and it works great for me, a couple of small things that need ironing out for sure but Im finding it VERY usable.
I would like to upgrade to alpha5 but I have spent a long time installing and configuring LauncherPro and I am wondering if I will loose all this.
Do I need to do a wipe and a fresh install to get 5 or do I just install over the top and will it keep my settings in place or not?
Thanks!
Nat.
Just flash over alpha 4. no probs. I went from alpha 3 to 4 witch launcher pro and everythink was in place
Edit: sorry i thought you were talking about adw launcher. I would make a backup in every case because adw could replace your launcher pro settings.
Ok thanks!

[MOD] Remove HTCLoggers and all associated files from any ROM

Not gonna bore ya too much.
Here's the file: http://www.multiupload.com/PNIVVGPEBZ
Should work for HTC EVO 3D too.
Here's an article with more info: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/10/how-to-easily-protect-your-htc-evo-by-removing-htcloggers.html
Enjoy
Great work swagstr, thanks. I removed the logger stuff by TIbackup, but I'm not sure I got everything. This should solve that for me.
Thanks man, I was wondering exactly what files had to be removed lol
thanks for this!
Is loggers the only one dangerous? I know the how to I used had me delete like a dozen files and then the boot.Img mod which you helped me with. Your script only takes care of the logger stuff.
Can it be done via root explorer
my blazed up 4g
Yeah theres a lot more then just that. Treve has a nice article to read in the 3D section, it goes real deep into the jar files and everything
ok, so i didn't use this method but i did remove the loggers (via root explorer). now my phone constantly asks me to choose between the sense launcher & go launcher ex? i check to make go launcher my default & it still does it. anybody else? advice?
thanks.
p.s. i also get the htc.loggers force close pop-up occasionally...that's normal, right?
thanks for this!

Swype Beta for Stock Skyrocket

Hello,
How can I get SwypeBeta (better + Dragon) in Stock Skyrocket? I followed the page steps and then I get: "Swype Beta is currently unavailable for devices that have Swype preinstalled" message.
https://beta.swype.com/android/get/:confused:
I don't believe there's a way for you to do that. If you were to root, you could uninstall it with titanium backup, restart your phone and then install it using the swype installer.

I personally used an app called NoBloat it has a picture of a android wielding like a ak but it pretty much allows you to uninstall an app completely (SWYPE) but it backs it up just incase you removed something you werent suppose too. I used it removed swype (deleted the backup) and installed beta.

Hi,
I'm currently an Atrix 4G user and expecting my new shiny Skyrocket to arrive soon. I had swype preinstalled on it and managed to find a way to remove the preinstalled swype using another method. I found it on the swype forum, and this is what I did. Keep in mind, you have to be rooted in order to do this. Also, make sure that in your settings, you've disabled/turned-off swype as a keyboard input and make sure it's NOT the one selected (make sure to select another input), otherwise after reboot you may get stuck.
Using Root explorer or adb shell as root:
1) remove /system/app/Swype.apk OR rename to /system/app/Swype.apk.bak
2) remove /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so OR rename to /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so.bak
3) Reboot device
4) Install swype installer and the rest should work!
Can anyone confirm if this will work on the Skyrocket?

So, I'm a proud owner of a Stock rooted Samsung Skyrocket 2.3.6. I followed my own instructions, and was able to download swype installer and install swype. I then went into settings->languages and checked the swype entry, but when I click on settings it FCs.
I tried resetting - nuthin. Any thoughts?
I have the /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypecore.so files backed up.....

The new Swype Beta (June 2012) allows it to be installed alongside preinstalled versions of Swype. If you've followed the steps in the post above, then first remember to uninstall your old version of swype completely, then reboot your system, and then undo the steps listed in the post. You should have a fully functional preinstalled version of swype with the swype beta installed alongside it.
