[Q] Merge Launcher Pro with Miui - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am a big fan of MIUI but i awfully hate its default launcher.
I was wondering if there is a way whereby i can replace the stock MIUI launcher with the launcher pro?
Thanks!!

Just download it from the market.

Thanks for the reply fiskenigaten.
But i was actually wondering of integrating it with the rom itself.
you know what i mean ?
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:

Using launcher pro, I have a black screen and can see only the dockbar after unlocking defy, just for me?? I have wajkiui.......a mix of miui an cyano

Maybe its the rom, try a different launcher like ADW or go launcher and see if they work

[Q] How to update an application in custom rom ?

Hi,
I use Racht Froyo à.15 custom ROM.
I would like to update the app Launcher Pro Plus with the new version.
I already have the .apk file.
So I tried to delete the old one and replace it by the new one in the /system/app directory but when I reboot, I stuck on Froyo logo.
How it is possible to do that ?
Thank
First you must install other launcher like adw and then remove launcher pro
Thanks for your quick reply !
I will try that
can't you just open newer apk file in file manager and there is option uninstall or update. It's so in all apps I noticed but don't know how about launcher.
how do you remove the stock launcher and replace it with another launcher?

are you buying the pro version ? if so its only a 33k unlocker ..you buy it and it downloads and installs and then your regular apex is turned into the pro version
Is it possible to remove the original launcher?
I'm not sure, but you may be able to remove it from /system/app/ with root access.

Like Marvlesz said, you need root access and you can delete it. But why bother? Install Home Manager and you can switch among multiple launchers any time.

Of course can not perform that because Launcher is not exist in Settings, that's why I tried other methods. I wonder why almost every launchers (include official Trebucket) can access launcher setting from context menu by pressing menu button from homescreen (or app drawer) while this version lack that.
Does it support only CM10 or other Android 4.1.2 ROM?

I have tried it on CM10 and it works great
but it was a month ago.
I believe the launcher settings only appears if you have only one launcher, which must be trebuchet. If you have two trebuchets (or two or more launchers of any kind), then launcher settings will disappear.

Unluckily, after removing other launchers and reboot my phone, Launcher Settings still dont appear.
When I flash CM10 and install other launcher, I easily access Laucher Settings from all installed launchers.

it is somewhat faster because of its small size, but it is an individual opinion since there is no benchmark to compare Launchers

that is strange indeed..
since its from build 7 and no other build has been released (except the non booting Jenkins one), you might have to wait till Rashed releases Build 8..
or if you have the Trebuchet from that build, can you give the link please ??
@everyone should I release trimmed LatinIME.apk (English) for CM10.1 ??
Re: [APP][CM10.1] Trebuchet slimmed down
Yea please i really need it the normal one cost me more than 10Mb and i has slow space please release the keyboard

Here you go.... Touchwiz 5x5 Launcher
Installation:
You will need a root capable file manager like "root explorer" to install this.
Temporarily install another launcher while doing this
Unzip the file and copy it over to the internal sdcard
Rename the stock SecLauncher3.apk to SecLauncher3.ap_ (just as a backup).
Copy the new SecLauncher3.apk to the /system/app directory.
Reboot
Set default back to TouchWiz Launcher
Good luck!
Enjoy!

If you have Root, install a custom ROM, or install a launcher then using TWRP or a root explorer, rename, freeze, delete stock
You can also use No Limits ROM, it's really a Magisk MOD, yet it has the option to remove stock launcher and replace with a different one. Here is the link to it.

Very simple no root needed.
Install the launcher that you want
Go to Settings/Apps & notifications/Default apps/Home app
Change to your installed new launcher
No need to delete the stock launcher

I do NOT recommend to remove the OnePlus launcher if you are using the gesture navigation.
The launcher process is also containing the services for the gestures.
Therefore, like stated above, I also recommend to leave the default launcher as it is and just install the one you want.
Edit: screenshot for reference. I'm using an alternative launcher and still need OnePlus launcher because of the running service.
