Help with replacing stock launcher with older version - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Anyone????????????????????

[Q] Remove home screens

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 ?

[Q] [XP]Questions about the font size in the launcher

I first encountered it in Enigma 6.x. I found that the font size in the launcher(desktop) is smaller than the default one, and it was the reason I flashed another ROM.
Recently, I find than Almost all roms based on 4.1.2 have this issue.
Since the font size is normal in other UI, I consider the reason is within the launcher.apk itself.
The question is: How can I change the font size of the launcher(desktop) to the default one?
I'd appreciate if someone can give me some help with it. Thanks a lot!
I believe you are right, i have experienced it too.
IT IS due to the launcher itself.
i think the roms u tried have ported launcher, from z1/z2 . they are not made for screens for our size, hence this issue.
try changing font size in display back to normal, i know it will not correct the issue, but it helped me somewhat.
hope it works for you too.
or you can simply use stock launcher, from stock jb rom for Xp, either install it normally or replace the other launcher.
