I would like to replace the stock launcher with ADW launcher in the ROM I am cooking up.
Is this possible?
Also:
Does anyone know of a way to replace the default theme of the adw launcher apk?
lol just place it in it

I realize I can do that, but I want a seamless experience. I want it to default to adw launcher with a theme and completely bypass the standard launcher.
then delete adw launcher

I think you mean delete the default launcher, but I tried that and the ROM refused for boot.
The launcher shouldn't cause boot issues. Does it boot with the stock launcher?

Yes, it boots fine when the stock launcher is there. LGLauncher.apk
But when I remove it and put ADW Launcher in its place it doesn't get past the boot animation.

Hi to everyone,
I was looking exactly for that... but as far as I (don't) read the question is still open. Can anyone give it a point?
Thank you and have a nice Sunday,
Be sure that ADWLauncher is compiled for the 'matching' Android version. Btw. by using logcat while booting up your phone you would have seen immediately the kind of error ...

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

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

This is a complete CM6 themed rom with a few mods, that I put together from the Droid X system dump. I also added some icons from Prodigy Red & Black.
What's included from the Droid X system dump:
CarDock.apk
FMRadio.apk
FMRadioService.apk
fonts
framework-res
media including bootanmation.zip
Live Wallpaper
How to install:
1. Backup your current rom.
2. Wipe. (If your coming from a CM6 Rom you may not need to wipe. I don't but, I recommend that you do).
3. Install.
ADW Droid X Launcher:
After install open ADWLauncher. Go to Themes Preferences/Select your theme click ADW Droid X and click apply theme!

There isn't any lock screen apk used in this rom. It's a framework mod.

No, this is a complete CM6 rom.
are there any mods like this that resemble the dx exactly without all the color changes like the red and blacks?
Boot Loop
I've installed this after wiping cache partition, dalvik, and factory data reset in ROM manager and after restoring apps I get a boot loop when rebooting. I have tried this 5-6 times and most recently only installed droid x keyboard without apps, and then not installing anything and still get boot loop. Any ideas what would be causing this?
What kernel and at what clock speed? This might be impacting the bootloop issue...

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:

Hello guys. I'm using Launcher Pro Plus since I got my phone. Now I have ICS animations on my device, but they don't work on LP.
Can someone port them to LP app and attach here? I tried to replace them in res/anim but no luck.
Thanks in advance!

Because he gave up developing.
If you install Nova launcher and select it as the default launcher, does it stop the phone's stock one running (freeing up resources)? Thanks.

No, it just defaults to your chosen launcher instead of your stock launcher. Stock launcher is still there in the background. Disabling or removing it causes problems.
