Only way i know requires root: Download the latest miui launcher apk from apkmirror, install the app systemizer module from magisk, reboot, install the apk but don't set the launcher as default yet, use poco launcher to open a terminal app (termux or something you prefer) type in su grant root permissions, type systemize, press 1 and then you'll see a drop down menu of all your apps, type in the number the miui launcher has (it will probably display as system launcher) and then type 2(i think) to install it in system/priv-app. Reboot, set it as default and it should be working.

I used Nova Launcher, never turned back

Install launcher

Hi all!
I tried to install ADW Launcher or Helx Launcher 2 on the Tattoo but no success. I'm using a Modaco ROM, rooted.
Can someone assist?
Thanks

There are for android 2 and above versions, and you have 1.6. So you cannot install them.

But there is Helix for Donut, I'm using it right now. Go to this page:
http://helixproject.ruqqq.sg/
And the Donut version is last in the list. Enjoy
Yes but Helix launcher 2 is for android 2 and above afaik.
I never managed to install it in any 1.6 rom I've tested. Install and run fine in eclair 2.1 rom though.
Well, normally adb should complain during installation that it's the wrong Android version (if you install via cmdline)...what I do when I find a compatible Launcher is this (it's very risky, so don't do this without having any idea what is done):
1. If running on Sense UI, I upload the Launcher app into the system folder (let's say this launcher is called LauncherNew.apk)
2. Append .old to Android stock Launcher.apk and odex (mv Launcher.apk Launcher.apk.old && mv Launcher.odex Launcher.odex.old)
3. Rename LauncherNew.apk to Launcher.apk (mv LauncherNew.apk Launcher.apk)
4. Move Rosie apk and odex to sdcard and then pressing the home button
it's a bit brutal, but like this I'm saving lots of resources because no launcher runs in parallel...

Many thanks. Installed and playing with it now. It seems to me the icon size is smaller than Home...
Yes, many of the launchers do this to save space and providing the option to store more icons on one home screen...

[Q] best onscreen keyboard on miui % ics

I am running a miui rom at the moment on the mini pro and would like a keyboard apk that both detects the physical keyboard better such as the blue butting (shift button ?? ) and the smiley button to work and also a more responsive on screen keyboard that what I currently have
There seems to be not much better than the original SE keyboard (Sqhashiinput.apk) at doing the job, and it will run on just about anything.

Try this, it's the original SE soft-keyboard, made to work on ICS ROM by Paul-xxx, all credits to him
Try to install as normal APK, and if that doesn't work, move to /system/app and change permissions to 644
Long-press an input-field and change input-method.
Hope it works for you

very weird I had installed that su update previously but now that I have reinstalled it it seems to work, though still doesn't allow me to move the apk file into system/app or install it, however got it overclocked so I'm happy,
thank you for all of your help btw with the increased performance the default on screen keyboard is much more responsive whenever I tap an input box so :good: :victory:

unfortunately it crashes every time I attempt to use the physical keyboard and in terms of responding is similar to the default keyboard, a good keyboard, just not good for this device and this os XD thank you for the suggestion though,
Try big buttons.

I use TouchPal with the CooTek T+ layout on every ROM and every phone I use. You can type blazing fast with it and has some pretty cool themes for it. I use the Night Pack theme.

[Q] Is it safe to install a launcher from playstore and uninstall the default?

Is it ever safe to install a launcher from the PlayStore and uninstall the default launcher in the ROM?
What could possibly be the consequences? Will any additional mods that I install to the ROM get disabled?
Yes, it is safe. But i suggest you not unistall default launcher, just freeze in titanium

Yes it's absolutely safe... I have installed apex launcher instead of trebuchet in CM10 by FXP
And its much better and has more customization options...
I suggest you copy trebuchet apk from root menu and then replace it by nova or apex launcher :thumbup:

Sure, but don't uninstall it. Just use the other one as default. Otherwise if you do a factory reset you have no launcher
That's great. Also, which Launcher is suggested which uses less resources and has a lot of options.
Personally, I like GoLauncher but it scares me to see how much resources it uses...

DON'T DO IT! Your new launcher will be in data partition whereas your default launcher will be present in system partition! Factory reset will result in bootloop. If you desperately want to get rid of the stock launcher then mount the system partition writable and move the downloaded launcher to /system/app and then you can safely uninstall the default launcher!
Hit thanks if I have helped!

it is completely safe to uninstall the default launcher.
but i freeze it instead of uninstalling it.
Good to know this, maybe i'll change the default launcher of CM if I reinstall it again on my SK17i
Hmmm...thanks a lot for the tips guys

Flashed RR, but want trebuchet

So yeah, i just finished flashing latest resurrection remix to my i9100, but i want to keep the stock launcher (trebuchet), is there anyway to delete xperia home launcher (its not listed on my apps list so i can not uninstall it the normal way) and just leave the trebuchet stock launcher ?
Thanks
you can use this to delete system progs and move trebuchet over to the system
or you can just install Trebuchet and use this to ensure it is used as the default

Install a file Manager with Root access and then go to system/app and then search for the xperia home launcher and delete it.
You can also just install the Apex launcher or the Holo launcher HD, they are practically the same as the trebuchet launcher, but with more functions.

In addition to what they've said, I've read the RR 3.1.0 Changelog and they said that they've included the Trebuchet Launcher from CM 10. I can't confirm it for now though because I'm currently using CM10 Nightlies, but currently downloading the ROM right now.

[MOD][OP_Launcher_aosp 2.1.5] Transparent hotseat (dock)

As the title says,I have moded stock OP Launcher to have transparent hotseat,(dock), for apps in homescreen.
Launcher apk is pulled from latest beta for OP3T, I belive it should work on OP3 also but not tested.
Instructions:
Use some root file explorer (I use Solid)
Go to root/system/app/OP_Launcher_aosp and rename existing apk (OP_Launcher_aosp.apk.bak)
Copy OP_Launcher_aosp to root/system/app/OP_Launcher_aosp
Set permissions to rw-r-r
Reboot and enjoy.
If you get stuck on boot for some reason:
Go to TWRP and mount system
Go to file manager and browse to system/app/OP_Launcher_aosp
Delete current apk and than remove .bak from original apk
Reboot.

The version I uploaded is 2.1
I can't install it as an upgrade for my current version.
Could you sign the apk with the same key as the stock apk?
I tried signing it and still didn't worked.
I can't replace the apk in the system because I'm unrooted.
Thanks.

I have noticed that too yesterday...I'll try to find the problem ,but it's only 2 lines of code in smali to achieve this transparency...so relay don't know what is causing this
You can change home screen wallpaper through gallery as workaround

I recently did a factory reset( so my device should be fresh). Beside this launcher mod, the only other thing that I think will mess with the system is Magisk, but all of my modules doesn't seem like it's going to conflict with any display settings at all.
Wonder if Im running an outdated launcher or not?
