ADW question - Android Software Development

Hey Two Quick Questions about rom building,
One how do you make AWD the default launcher if your cooking a rom?
Secondly, how do you have the ADW settings menu appear inside phones default settings menu?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Easiest way is to rename the the ADW apk to Launcher2.apk or whatever the default name is in /system/.
I don't know how to do the 2nd, but it should just be as easy as adding a new menu item to the settings menu and linking it to the settings menu in the apk.

I have seen this done in a number of roms does anyone have any more details on how to do it >.>

Thanks for the reply fiskenigaten.
But i was actually wondering of integrating it with the rom itself.

There should be no miui launcher left!!
thanks.

Just set it as default when you install it. Then you'll never see miui launcher ever again.
Or if you want to take it to the extreme, you can use titanium backup to fully remove miui launcher after you've installed launcher pro. But honestly I don't recommend it. Just stick with the first solution bud

If u decide not to keep miui don't move launcher pro to SD. . Or use a root explorer and move /data/app/ launcher pro (I think its a different name but same icon) to /system/app and long press it, hit "permissions" and unchecked all 3 on the 3rd row, and the 3rd one on the second row. Save. Reboot.

Titanium backup pro has the option to integrate into the rom, just find launcher pro and long press and you will see it. I do this all the time with go launcher it lets you still do a factory reset safely, whereas it would disappear and you would have no launcher if you didn't D:

install launcher pro... select as default after pressing home button...
use a root enabled file explorer e.g. root explorer...
navigate to & mount system/app/
rename Miuihome.apk (think that's its name) to Miuihome.bak...
done ^^ no more Miuihome.apk a.k.a MIUI stock launcher :highfive:

[Q] APEX Default Launcher [solved]

How do I set APEX to be the default launcher. Android used to prompt me which launcher to use but no longer does.
I had the previous APEX release which kept on crashing and have just installed the APEX update and would like to re-use APEX as my default.
I thought that I went into Settings / Launcher but there is no option there for APEX.
Thanks
I wish I could delete this post Answer is : APEX Settings / Advanced / Set default launcher.

Non-Scrolling Wallpaper

How do I make it non-scrolling? I've used other stuff, such as apps...but how do I make my own?

Please be more specific!
Which rom you use? (stock, rooted stock, CM10 or CM10.1)
Which launcher you use?
Any type of skins?
etc
If you are rooted and use another launcher than BN, check the launcher settings. Often there is a setting somewhere to choose wether or not to scroll wallpaper.

[Q] Easy way of changing the home screen of new Hyperion 8 GM for SGY?

First of all I should say that Carl & the guys did a fantastic job with the new ROM. My question is more of a stylistic issue, but is there an easy way to change the home-screen icon to the one shown is the first picture of the following thread? I would ask directly there but I'm a new member and apparently that's not allowed...Senior member PwN.CraZyTagZ also shared his holo toggles which totally rock and were easy to install (just replaced hyperion-res.apk in system/framwork). Could there be a similarly easy way to swap the home-screen icon?

thanks a lot...it's good to know that. Presumably the aforementioned procedure won't work if I've odexed my Hyp.8 GM final, will it? I've not actually tried it but I'm expecting to find a launcher.odex file instead of the apk...
many thanks again (pressed it also)
