Root [ROM] JellyBeanSandwich

longpressing doesnt work for me either, and i updated the holo launcher HD on my phone.
it does, however work if you choose the bookmark from widgets drawer

I installed another launcher [Nova Launcher Prime v2.1.1]. This is what I was using at one point prior to flashing.

Good news: LongPress bookmark->"Add to home screen" works. It may be Nova and Google know how to "handshake" - who knows?

Bad news: When I try to Import from Holo to Nova, I get:
Security error trying to read settings from this launcher. This may be caused either by installation order of the two apps, or if the other launcher has been updated to no longer allow Nova to import settings. You may try uninstalling and reinstalling Nova launcher

Do you know a work-a-round that will allow me to import somehow? I would like to use Nova...

Well if you were using Nova before why don't you just import the old settings? You did make a backup of them, didn't you?

yes there is a way, to do it manually witch involves using root explorer or any other root browser. or you could do it manually. just have to edit the file in "system/vendor/bin/xml/eri_metro.xml. once you find that, scroll to where you see "ERI TEXT = MetroPcs(s76, or jbs)" and edit that


i kno dis isnt the thread 4 it but by any chance would dis also work for da s4 if not would yu know how to

hey boneface. so i downloaded the rom and i love how smooth it is. it's faster than the day i got the phone. i got the mms.apk fixed and i didn't like the gallery or the camera so i restored the stock camera app and put a different gallery on there and they work perfectly. my only issue, now that i have everything working, is the JBS on the bottom of the lock screen. how do i change that? i never really minded the MetroPCS logo but since it has been changed, how do i change it to something else? like if i wanted to put my name or leave it blank. what file do i have to edit? oh and one more thing. is there anyway you can put the CRT lock screen animation in the rom on your next update? that would be the most badass thing ever. i miss that animation lol
