Do you need to remove Advanced Launcher?

this will replace advanced launcher and become default if there are no other launchers installed

Lovely

ta!

Couldn't get it to work even after doing a wipe... Strange.
Will try again once I've updated from 1.6.2...

make sure you fix package permissions before you update from any zip

Hello,

launcher works nice for me, but I can't find ADWSettings in the menu. Anyone else with this issue?

Thanks

zstef · May 8, 2010

Not sure which menu are you reffering to, but you have to press the upper-left ("menu") button under the screen and it will bring you the "ADWSettings" option.

while this launcher is very nice and visually the best launcher i have seen. I decided to move back to helix and remove the launcher from system/app/ as galaxo was storing it in memory as it sees it as Launcher.apk and so i was losing 10mb ram without doing anything.

Now im back to helix i have 47mb ram free

make sure you have set another launcher as default first
the adb shell rm system/app/Launcher.apk
it is case specific

reboot

bump!
I updated it with new instructions, for those of you who want to use the new and shiny market version.

Rastaman-FB · Jun 5, 2010

i was doing it that way from 7.5 then i realised that the dev updates it quite a bit and if you update from market it runs as standalone and the one in launcher is ignored.
if you then try and move and overwrite it or remove the one from the market after updating launcher in system/app it loses previous settings and you have to re configure it.
the speed this dev is updating makes it a bit of a hassle so what im doing is just installing it from market and removing launcher.apk from system/app
it works nice and smooth and i can update from the market with out issue as its only launcher/home that the device is detecting as installed

I'll try this out, and if it works I'll change the instructions.

I'm doing it this way too. Thanks for the up on it being available on the market btw, never got the other version to run!

if you are running the one from the market, make sure you remove launcher.apk from system/app

Frojd · Jun 6, 2010

Yeah, that was what i meant with "I'm doing it this way to", should've quoted your message

Funny, im using the ADW installed from the market, and after removing the /system/app/launcher.apk im still having the same amount of RAM free. About 33 Mb max, same as it was before.

Im doing something wrong here

depends what else is in use. youll just find its smoother and doesnt lag when you open walpaper/pictures (if other launcher is installed it has a black screen for about 2 mins

Its does seem to run smoother so i guess it did the trick.

I compiled today the latest ADW Launcher for Donut.

You will find it @ Directory Listing of /pub/adw/
