Might be a stupid question but I'm running SlimICS and hate Zeam. It seems he deleted the launcher2 from system/app and can't seem to find a (preferably) downloadable zip.
Can someone provide a flashable up to date default launcher?
If not, perhaps a flashable up to date Trebuchet?
I've done quite a bit of googling but that fake ICS launcher pops up a lot, and any Trebuchet links are bad
Thanks much!
download either
NOVA launcher
or
Apex Launcher
both can be placed in system/app.. to allow widgets in menu
both are amazingly smooth.. much faster than stock and more customizable
You can download a stock rom and just pull it from the app folder.
Place the apk in system/app folder and set same permissions as others. Then reboot.

Awesome, that works perfect, didn't even thing about that. Thanks so much )
There is also a .zip to flash all the stuff that is left out of Slim. I think it's under the 2.6 update.
I tried NOVA and APEX, both are very comfortable and smooth. I am on APEX now

I installed the theme but since I use stock launcher, I don't like the way it sets up the toolbar.
Does anyone have the white/transparent-like Search widget for ICS 4.0? Thanks!
From the guys who made the ICS theme here on XDA, in attachment
It's a widget, put the apk in /system/app and reboot.

I copied it to system/app and changed permission, reboot, but I only see the original search widget.. could you help me out?
I checked for all read (Owner, Group, Others) and write only for Owners. Execute is blank for all.
Do I have to rename the apk file?
works fine with me, did nothing but copied it

Nope it should work just like that... Permissions indeed are rw-r--r-- like all system apps.
It should pop up in the widgets list named "Google Search" and an empty (transparant) icon next to it. I'm using MV Rom with Go Launcher but I don't think that matters much

Weird....
So all you did was copy the apk (w/o renaming) to system/app, change permission and reboot?
I still see the Gingerbread Search Widget. Well, that's the only search widget I'm seeing now.
I have a stock launcher + CM7.1.0.1 + Trinity if that matters, unless we need a custom launcher?
Yes.
Maybe you should ask the fine folks who made it:

You need a root file explorer or ADB to navigate there.

it is in the Market Tiwiz ICS Search Bar that does not work for me :-(
there is another that work fine... Custom ICS Search Widget
retired now from the Market, do not know why???? If somebody has one and post it here thanks...
Why don't you just use an ICS ROM and get the real thing ? Alternatively there a bunch of them on the market, especially with GO! Launcher themes. Do a quick Market search

I love this search widget/mod too, not sure why they took it off of the market.
Here is the APK : Download Link

For those that don't know, try changing the owner of the APK to "root - 0" for both owner and group, using Root Explorer, as well as changing the permissions to rw-r-r (read previous posts for instructions).
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.
My first thread in this forum. Completely transparent widget extracted from another rom.
http://www.fileserve.com/file/2Qg75sB/SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk
Best way to install it is to get root explorer, go to system / apps and rename the existing SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk to SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk.bak as a backup in case you decide you want to go back to the stock widget. Now paste the downloaded file into the same location, go to the homescreen and add the widget. It should appear transparent.
Hope it helps.
Currently tested and working on cassies LA6 ultralight rom v8.
thanx working on LA4 deodexed too!
No, it works!
I tried to install it on XXLA4 (axlor4) and after rebooting, dragging the widget on my desktop displays an error message.

what error do you get? Also make sure the system / apps folder is writeable. Merely copying the file wont' cut it. I imagine you are rooted.
thanx very good
working fine on lb1. thx

works great on stock deodexed LA6.cheers buddy!
is it possible to remove the accuweather.com text? in 1x4 mode its making it look ugly.
Just FYI It doesn't work on LB2.
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

I am using a theme that I downloaded from the theme store, however I wondering if there's any way to edit the downloaded theme. For example I am wanting to keep the stock touchwiz keyboard and still have everything else themed.

I would think you find the keyboard in secsettings2 or whatever file all the system core files are in from the stock theme, copy it and replace it with the themed keyboard apk, and don't forget to set permissions to rx-rx-r? That's my best bet. @SICKMADE ? Am I close?

There's an easy way around it. If you're applying theme from theme store, all you have to do is delete theme.input files
Any app that deletes .apk files, will work.
Example*
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roid.optimizer
Just find the .apk and delete than reboot. profit
Hit the thanks button if I helped you out ?

Yeah I did something like that, after I found the file I added a .bak extention to the end making it a backup, rebooted, and I got my stock keyboard back.

All you have to do is use a root file manager like root browser then go into your data/app folder there you will find all the apps you have installed onto your device including every individual themed apk from whatever theme you downloaded and installed from Sammy theme store... if there is something that you don't like or want from a particular theme ie. Icons or keyboard just simply scroll until you see all the apps from the theme you installed and delete which ever themed app folder that you don't want. Hope that made some sense lol.
