So, I flashed a ROM and used No-Sense++ to strip off all Sense stuff. Now I would like to get just the launcher back so I can change the current Sense-theme. What are the APK's needed for the Rosie -launcher and how install those?
I have already extracted all apk's from my ROM's zip-file, but can't install them directly via package installer for some reason.
Help me out here, don't want to reflash the whole ROM just to get the launcher back

Stock (1.32.651.6) with root. Deodex and odex available (06/10/2010)
What does deodex and odex mean?
This is the correct file I am looking for right?
By TrevE from the DamageControl ROM post:
Deodex basically takes the odex file and stuffs it into the apk as a classes.dex. First boot it dissembles the file into /dalvik-cache (i believe). Now there is basically 2 copies of the odex, one in the apk one in cache. This makes it "portable". This allows modders to work on the apks & easily change stuff. If you want themes or stuff like lockscreen fixes you MUST use Deodex.
Odex is how things come stock. It takes up less room but making modifications or taking apks from other roms is hard. You cannot use themes with this version!!

Hey everybody, this is my first post here.
I recently installed Rubix Focused and the Linear theme for it. All is well and good except that some of the edit menu icons are themed and some are not. This really bugs me and I wanted to change them all back to the stock icons. I've found the icons inside of the framework.apk inside the linear theme zip, but when I replace them via 7zip and try to reinstall the theme, they aren't changed and my phone pretty much flips out.
Also some of the icons for other programs (Gmail, others) are also changed, I'm assuming whatever would work to fix the ones inside the framework apk would also work for changing out the icons in those specific apps.
So how do I go about doing this? I thought it would be a simple fix but I'm thinking I'm missing something during the process.
If you use the rubix zip u flashed...
Open it up with 7zip and pull ouy everything but the framwork-res.apk
Then reflash the new zip. I believe u can do this...read it in this forum somewhere...

Would I be reflashing Rubix's framework or the theme's (Linear)? The modified icons came from the theme installation.
Use the rubix framework if you want them to look like the stock rubix icons.

I replaced the icons in the theme with the icons I wanted and replace the framework file in the original theme's zip and deleted everything else, keeping the file structure to the framework file intact. It freezes whenever I try to install it now.

What process and exact steps did you take to do this?

Alrighty, I ended up getting something to work. I used another simple theme mod's zip file and replaced the framework file with mine and installed fine. I'm guessing it had to do with signage or something.j Would life have been made easier if I used apk manager?
Yes, if you are just replacing images, apk manager would probably make life easier...
Sorry I didn't think to mention this before... was just trying to think of the easiest method to get you back to where you wanted to be in terms of look/feel.
I did a search.
I am looking for non Android and Samsung widgets.
I go to the widget menu and see nothing but the stock ones.
This means I can't add the weather widget, tweetcaster, etc.
I am using the Octane ROM.
Someone please help.
The easiest way to get those is to run a stock rom, not a custom one. Custom roms generally tend to move away from a Samsung style rom, to a more... true android type build.
Try flashing stock Kj6 (rooted of course). That will come with all of the stock samsung widgets.
Alternatively, you can download the stock kj6 CWM version (the zip one), unzip it, and look in system/apps and take out the apks of the desired widgets. Using root explorer, or something similar like Astro, copy and paste those apks to your phones system/app folder.
I don't recall every seeing tweetcaster though... just BuddiesNow, Feeds and Updates... hope it helps.
Here i have an inverted nova launcher to share with you. This is my own inverted nova launcher and it has new green images that were made by me. It is almost fully themed. I will also be updating and retheming it when new updates come out for nova launcher. I hope you enjoy! This nova launcher is also featured in my inspire rom.This is also the latest nova launcher version! If you like my work please press thanks!
How to install:
Flash the zip in your custom recovery like twrp or clockworkmod. If you don't have a custom recovery you can extract the apk from zip and copy the apk to either system/app or to system/priv-app directory. You must have root in order to install this application. It will not install as a regular app. Works with every Galaxy S4 Device

Hi,
I have a question.
I am using stock KK rooted from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688
The thing is I don't really like the stock launcher.
Instead wanna use some other launcher by default.
I wanted to know if its possible to do that ( PS Ofcourse I can "silly me" but I explain my point later).
I wish to remove the stock launcher from the zip file and replace it with some other launcher of my choice.
Is it gonna work first and second how do I do it?
Use the dsixda's kitchen and replace the apk normally or something else??
Thanks in advance!

Why you've to do that?
Flash the rom, then install preferred from play store and set it as default.

Its pretty easy to do so. I am aware of two ways:
1) Just flash the stock 4.x.x pa gapps. The replace the stock launcher and replace it with GEL.
2) If you want a launcher of your choice other than GEL, just install it normally and use a file manager (in root mode) and navigate to /system/apps and delete the launcher.apk. (i think that is what it is called, if not just check the name of the stock launcher and delete the corresponding apk)
