Root Has anyone completely deleted TW Launcher?

[nklenchik]

I was going through root explorer and noticed how much space TW Launcher uses. I use Launcher Pro myself and was wondering what might happen if I happened to get rid of the file.

Saps posted the how to awhile back....but basically you have to move adw/lpp whatever from data/app to system/app...,then you can delete or rename twlauncher....,you will get immediate fc hell....hold down power button or batt pull....next time you boot hou are good to go...,this will break social network sync however

Do you know what LP's called in data/app?

Com.fede.launcher

Make sure to move lp to system/app BEFORE nuking tw

Got it Thanks for the help guys. For some reason I had to re-add my widgets, but everything else seems to be running smoothly

Ok a little off subject but didn't want to start a new topic. I searched and could find an answer right off..was pretty surprised I couldn't find it. I recently switched from adw to zeam to lp. I found how to delete zeam but can't get rid of adw any help please? Tia

It's probably in system/app

Ok I was able to find it this way but it said could not delete this file.

Click mount as rw at the top in root explorer

And make sure you have another launcher in system/app

yup, and the biggie is to make sure you have another launcher in there....i mean you can get around the no launcher situation to get into the market through search to download another...but its a pita
