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

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?

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.

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.
Hello everyone,
Im a htc user and currently have the cm7 rom...
Believe me its awesome with its customizations
However some things need to be improved
If any of u advanced techies could help me port some of the apps right away from htc sense cm7 or vice versa (former is preferred) we could use sense type of apps on cm7!
Id love the contacts,dialer,lockscreen,launcher to be ported to cm7
Helpme to morph my existing cm7 apps or else pl help me directly install sense apps to cm7 without [parse,certificate errors]. How do i install them!
Iv have two phones one ofwhich is htc buzz aka wildfire{yeah its old} and nexus!
Awaiting reply...
Thank u
(Thumbs up if u agree)
Ask the developer of Cyanogenmod 7 about this . We can't help you , because we're not the developers of the rom . It isn't what you think so easy to just port it inside , it requires alot of source codes and concentration to do this . As a matter of fact , i think that this is a little bit beneficial to Htc users whom are running CM7 rom . However , i won't support this , because the developers can't be supporting for one device only .

U dont seem to have tried sense!! U haven't felt it i guess..
Anyway i just wondered if it was possible to replace res/ files in cm7 apps with that of sense
How I understand it is, there is quite a bit more framework underneath Sense that the apps and widgets to go with Sense need. Sense has some pretty deep tendrils into Android that just a launcher skin.

OK simple answer is no. It will not work. They use totally different framework coding. The Sense apps will not work without the framework and closed sourced drivers. There is no wat to decode them without HTC releasing the code for it which they wont

No you won't has the coding is closed source and without the source code you can't make the needed code changes. Not to mention that CM7 has completely different coding set up from HTC. Sense is not open source so you can't make any changes to it.

Hmm thats odd it doesnt have any lag at all for me. CM will most likely never add it is it is not open source and they tend to stick to the aosp code.
Lockscreen
About the lockscreen, I use an App called MagicLocker and downloaded the Sense 3.0 theme together with it, it's not bad. Recommended.

Thats because Sense apps need HTC framework files and drivers to work. Without them they dont wok.

Hi
I'm new to this, but i was wondering if anyone could port the original ICS Sense Launcher for Cyanogenmod 10.1,
because every time i try to install it just says app not installed and i think it has to do with the version, i will upload
it to see if anyone could decompile it for me, tweak with it, and re-upload to see if it could be installed in CM10.1.
Lots of thanx.
Here's the app

Rosie.apk wont work on CM10.1 :S It relies on sense Framework not cyanogenmod you will NEVER get Rosie.apk to work on Cyanogenmod lol. Sense launcher is for SENSE not cyanogenmod. Look on play store for the Sense launchers other than that you need to get yourself a sense rom as that's the ONLY way to have a real sense launcher

there is theme for CM10 that will make your UI look like sense. you also need to install the clock widget separately.

Well, if you just want the rotating screen,.. You don't need Sense - install "Go Louncher EX" - it's just one of the best lounchers with a lot more useful features like folders, apps hiding, grid density settings, scrollable widgets and many, many more.
Is it possible to only have one custom lockscreen widget on stock ROM? I don't want to use the stock clock but if I enable lockscreen widgets I find myself always accidentally scrolling left to the page where you add a new widget when holding my phone with only one hand.

I think you need a custom rom for that or maybe Xposed framwork with such module that can change that, not possible with stock afaik.
