Is it possible to remove the home screen from a rom with android 2.3.4 and sense 2.1, by editing the rom itself.
I know that the android version 2.3.4 (cool ic sense) doesn't allow this function, as it was added later in newer android versions (or sense versions?).
Either way, is it possible to go inside the rom and edit the sense launcher, so that it only shows 3 screens for example.
i dont know how its on sense rom but on xperia u need to change xml file inside home.apk.
here u have guide for Xperia Play maybe it helps:

I couldnt find the xlm file.
Sense roms have rosie.apk as usersibterface.
I've searched in it, but couldn't find it.
Perhaps i should search for something else ? Anyone ?

Hi, I would like to install ICS without Samsungs twLauncher but as close as possible to the default one that Nexus would have for example if not the actual default? Can anyone recommend the best rom to flash? Also not looking for a launcher like GO.
So yea basically Googles Android launcher and not the Samsung one
Thanks
Get the Wanam Blue ICS.
or if you dont want to change roms, maybe extract the apk from the wanamlite, or find a download for stock launcher and install it
Probably a noob question so I apologize beforehand
Is there any way to install an .apk that is meant for ICS OS on my Gingerbread device?
Normally, Android apps run on any Android version (there is no difference in the apk files). The reason an app only runs on ICS and not on GB is that the dev is using APIs that are only available on ICS.
You might be able to trick your phone into installing the app by editing the apk, but it will probably crash at one point or another.
You best bet is to contact the developer, or search an alternative app.
Hi, can you give me a guide to port a launcher from a phone to another? For example, I would like to port SGS3 launcher (i know someone's already done this, but I want to try by myself) or Galaxy Tab 2 or Sense launcher.
As far as i know..and i dont know this very far =)
its not the problem of porting because the app will scale itselfe to the needed settings nevertheless its the problem of system apps
u might have a try to just take the sgs3 apk and try to install it on another phone and it will state app not installed or something else cus its defined as a system app
so always have this in mind while doing such things
i mean if ive got an *.exe file from a windows7 pc by dell and i want to install it on one by lenovo it shouldnt be a problem and this should be they way it works on android tooo (as far as i know )
My Problem is that I'm currently making a rom for i9300 (SGS3).
It's based on stock Sammy TouchWiz.
Most methods to Change the wallpaper didn't work.
I searched a half hour but I cannot find anything about that topic.
I already unpacked, rooted and de-odexed the rom with android kitchen.
Now I'm trying to Change the default wallpaper.
Somebody knows how to?

Have you tried tried de-compiling framework-res.apk and then changing the default_wallpaper image to the image you want to use as the default wallpaper then, recompiling framework-res.apk, and replacing the original framework-res.apk with the one you edited?
Shoot - no need to decompile - just drag and drop with 7-zip... it's only a jpg so you won't break anything.. check the /res/drawable-*dpi folder for your device
@alteredlikeness I already Trier this but there is no default wallpaper in the apk.
@shimp208 I'll try this and post my results here.
I have a Nubia Z7 Max and since I've updated the stock ROM, some of the launcher features have disappeared, so I want to install the old launcher if that's possible. I have the old ROM so can get the launcher from that.
I've read that it's a simple matter of pushing the old launcher with adb, but since I'm brand new to Android, I'm not entirely sure on how to do this.
Also, when I look in the system/app folder of the ROM, there are different launcher.apk files in there. How do I know which one is the actual launcher I need to replace?
Thanks for any help.
Anyone?
