Froyo Stock Launcher On Cyanogenmod RC 1

Well I know many of you guys have complain about why Cyanogenmod Rc 1 has the Adw Launcher, some say they prefer Launcher Pro or Stock Froyo, I tried to install so many Launcher2.apk but none of them worked with the Evo till I found this one. after I installed this Launcher2apk , I deleted Adw Launcher and my phone has been working perfect, no FC , Nada!!
Also I did some test
Linpack
Adw Launcher-35 Average
Launcher Pro Plus-32 Average
Stock Launcher-38 Average
Fps2d
Adw Launcher-51
Launcher Pro-50
Stock Launcher 50

Go into the Root Explorer. Root Explorer to me is the easiest way.. After your in Root go to System- Apps- ADW Launcher.apk<------- DELETE THAT ONE!!!

thats exactly what I did!!

This may seem like a dumb question but what the heck does the stock froyo launcher look like lol. Can you post a screenshot? All I have experience with is the sense launcher and now the adw one that comes with CM6.

How did you tried to install it???

I found that just installing the Launcher2-1.apk and just say Yes when ut asks you to replace it will install. You might want to make a backup the ADWLauncher.apk from /system/app.
I have to to say the stock launcher seems to be snappy I like it.. The only draw back I might see is if you are looking to install one of the themes that are coming out. You might have a problem since they are themed with LauncherPro or ADWLauncher and not the stock Launcher.

Keep getting force closes

.....nice. gonna try this.

every time i download its corupted?

naaa its working fine, actually i unistall the AWD LAUNCHER AND ALL THE APKS I dont like b4 installing the rom!!

Does this only work on CM or does it work on any 2.2 rom?

The stock 2.2 launcher was already on the non rooted 2.2 leak

It wasnt on mine. The stock launcher was removed with the last update, the one before 2.2. If you clear defaults or use a home switcher app it is not there, unless you manually install this APK

Native Android Launcher 2.2 for HTC Evo 4g?

Hey everyone, I am looking for the native android (froyo) 2.2 launcher/theme/look for the evo 4g?
I want to disable HTC Sense UI and use the native android 2.2 UI......
Any ideas on how we can get it? (without rooting or using anything like LauncherPro or AWD?)

Well, outside of rooting, I'm guessing the only way would be finding an launcher app that looks similar.
Not a lot of options.

So there is no way to get it unless I root my Evo?
How do I get it if I root it?

by installing a custom rom with it, or modifying your own rom to incorporate it.

Look at the development section. Most roms have screenshots on there, so just find one with the style you're looking for.
of course, make sure to look at the descriptions of the roms, bc they're custom for more thean their looks. A lot of them add and remove features, and they may be things that you don't like. Definitely choose carefully.
Anyways, if you're not rooted, and u've installed the 2.2 update from sprint, you're not going to be able to root at the moment anyways.

Awesome thanks for your help TJDuckett
I was hoping it was much easier than all of that.....like just some .apk that I install...

Oops, didn't see that don't want to use LP or ADW.. nevermind...

If you just want the stock 2.2 launcher go to settings then applications find the rosie app and clear defaults then when you hit the home button select launcher 2 as default. Sense will still be integrated through out the phone but you will have the stock 2.1 launcher

in the latest 2.2 update for Sprint they removed the native launcher all together. I have attached it to this post for you. Enjoy! It also reinstalls the stock backgrounds which were also removed. BTW this does not require root. Just simply install apk file.

Do you have a link, the one I d/l from here I can't find any Sense widgets :/

In the root of your sd card (I made a folder on the sdcard called Android Apk and put all my apk's in there). Than open up Astro, migrate to the apk and install it.

No the apk I uploaded is the stock 2.2 launcher.
Sense widgets go with the sense launcher which is why you won't find then when using the Android 2.2 launcher.
To install just double tap the apk in astro or another file explorer.

Then you didn't install this apk. Mine says:
Name: com.android.launcher
Label: Launcher
File Version: 2.2
Nowhere on the summary or details tab does it say ADW.
It is clearly the stock android 2.2 launcher.

Is there a reason the phone button doesn't work? I get a message saying there's no app installed on my phone.

What's the difference between launchers and ROMs?
Will installing a launcher mess with an installed ROM?
Thanks in advance

Launcher is a UI that lays over the ROM to give a different user experience. Go ahead and try them... they are safe. I recommend nova launcher myself

A launcher is an app. A ROM is the whole system of the phone.
The ROM is all the apps and such on your phone. A launcher only has the interface of your home screens.
A launcher shouldn't mess with your ROM.

I found Apex launcher to be good as well, so you can try that one also.
Will try out Nova which Glacierguy recommended later tonight to see how it looks and works.

Thanks guys. I'll go and play around for a bit now :laugh:

[Q] How to remove TWlauncher from custom ICS

Download an alternative launcher (Nova is an excellent option). Set it as "Default" in Nova Settings.
You will still have TW Launcher but Nova will now be the main default launcher on your Note.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.
NB - if you are using an alternative launcher and want the TW Launcher removed, sometimes you need to go into Manage Apps and Disable the TW Launcher. From there, use TB or Rom Toolbox to remove. it should be "grayed out" in your App List.
