I want to use the Xperia S launcher, I've downloaded it but when I go to install it is says about replacing a system app. Will that work ok and will I lose the original launcher?

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?

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!!

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:

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.

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.
