using cyanogenmod 6 on my wildfire ive installed the laucher pro and im using it as default launcher but every time i reboot the phone the adw launcher start up, ive tried with root explorer to kill and delete it, but when i reboot the adwlauncher regenerate in the system app folder and restart
in addiction to this the live wallpaper ive set up at any reboot keep being restore with the last image wallpaper that was set up, is this normal? cant be kept a live wallpaper?
I had the same problem when I moved launcher pro to SDCard, putting it to internal (phone) memory resolved the problem.
If that doesn't help then you have to flash an update.zip script to remove ADWLaucnher from your /system/app directory.
here is a topic that explains how to make your own update.zip to move or add files to your /system/app directory. It's easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917922
and if you have set up adb shell on your pc then delete that file with it, after you put your phone into a recovery mode.
So, I download the Go Launcher Ex APK, and the ICS Go Launcher Theme APK.
I have extracted both APKs, and I have copied over the theme files to the actual launcher APK.
From there, I have re-zipped the launcher APK and placed it into my /system/app, but for some reason I am getting a force close.
Should I sign the APK and place it in the /data/app? I know that if it is going into the /system it should NOT be signed, so I'm unsure what is wrong.
Anyone know what might be causing the force close? Thanks

Not sure if you want to modify your own TW launcher or locate one that is already modified for 5x5. A forum search would find threads for both approaches.
Here is a summary of what you'd need to do to effect the change yourself. If you find this confusing, then you should search the forum for a more detailed tutorial.
Backup your phone.
You will need apktool to decompile the launcher, /system/priv-app/TouchWizHome.apk
Copy the framework packages to the apktool directory, i.e.
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
Open a command prompt
Add the frameworks to the apktool configuration:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if twframework-res.apk
Decompile your launcher
Code:
apktool d TouchWizHome.apk
Go to the TouchWizHome.apk/res/sw360dp-xhdpi folder
Open integers.xml and change the grid to 5x5
Code:
<integer name="home_cellCountX">5</integer>
<integer name="home_cellCountY">5</integer>
To shrink the icon sizes, edit dimens.xml
Recompile the package
Code:
apktool b TouchWizHomeNew.apk
The recompiled package will be unsurprisingly named TouchWizHomeNew.apk
Open both the original TouchWizHome.apk in your apktool folder and the recompiled one with winrar.
Copy over the "res" and "resources.arsc" files from the recompiled apk to your original launcher apk, overwriting the files that are there. This is done to preserve the apk signature.
Copy the modified TouchWizHome.apk (not TouchWizHomeNew.apk) to your priv-app folder, overwriting the original.
Confirm that the apk has 0644 permissions.
Reboot to recovery mode and clear your system cache.
Reboot.

If you were trying to install it with the package manager e.g. by clicking on it.. it doesn't work like that. This is a replacement system app that needs to be moved to the correct directory, rather than installed per se.
Backup your phone just in case anything goes wrong.
Your phone needs to be rooted, so that you have access to the system files.
Use a root file browser to copy the new launcher to /system/priv-app/TouchWizHome.apk, overwriting the existing file.
Check that the launcher has 0644 permissions.
Wipe your system cache and reboot.

I try all of this but it doesn't work .When I reboot my phone a pop up window appears and ask me to choose a launcher .but the only choices is simple touchwiz nova and next launchers.
Otherwise when I put the original touchwiz when I put the home button a pop up window appears with next nova simple touchwiz and full touchwiz. I do a reboot in recovery I wipe dalvik cache other dalvik and when I reboot I choose the touchwiz and everything is good

You didn't mention earlier that you had a custom launcher installed. Your custom launcher has probably disabled the stock launcher. Revert or uninstall the custom launcher, so that your phone is using the 100% stock launcher. Then move the one in this thread into the priv-app folder.
If you didn't explicitly install a custom launcher, then your Omega ROM may be packaged with a modified or renamed launcher. You can search the Omega support thread and/or search the forum to find out if that is the case.
Or try one of the other 5x5 modified TW launchers in the forums.

You didn't say anything about overwriting the original file or wiping your cache. Did you do those?

Use a root file browser to copy the new launcher to /system/priv-app/TouchWizHome.apk, overwriting the existing file.

Hi, thx 4 reply, yes i changed the permissions to -rw-r--r-- and over written the original file, and "wipe cache partition"
After reboot still can't see the launcher

You're not providing nearly enough detail to discern what is going on with your phone. What does can't see the launcher mean? If you couldn't see the launcher you wouldn't have a homepage. But somehow, I doubt you would have neglected to mention that if it was the case.
You didn't spell out what you did step by step, confirm the path and name of your existing launcher, provide before and after screenshots or anything else that would give us crucial details to either see what went astray or where you made a misstep. Your signature says that you are using a Nexus.. are you installing this on a S5 or N5?
The launcher has worked fine for dozens of people. A few in this thread have had difficulties, but it's impossible to know why because of the lack of details. If you expect constructive help, you need to provide exhaustive detail of your situation.

Sorry mate.
I'm trying this on my wife's S5 which is Australian version.
Steps
I'm using Google launcher as default.
First downloaded apk and over written it to the location mentioned.
Changed the permissions as mentioned
Cleared the defaults for Google launcher
Booted to recovery
Wiped cache
Restarted
Now I can only see the option select launcher after unlocking from restart
The only 2 options visible are Google launcher and easy touch wiz
Plz refer to below screen shots
Note - the original Touchwiz launcher is around 4 mb while the downloaded one is around 3 mb
And the old touchwiz works fine when I revert
Thx

The extra detail helps enormously.
You didn't mention a lot of crucial facts earlier in the thread e.g. having installed a non-stock (Google) launcher already, Australian variant, odexed ROM, etc.
Ideally you should revert your phone to a stock launcher before installing this one as I have no idea what changes you made when installing the other launchers, nor did you describe them.
This launcher is also intended for a deodexed system, although if you remove the corresponding odex file e.g. remove both TouchWizHome.apk and TouchWizHome.odex and wipe the launcher cache and data from the Application manager and wipe the cache partition from recovery mode, I expect it should still work on your phone.
Your immediate obstacles are the presence of the odex file and possibly your modified system configuration expecting a launcher file name other than the stock TouchWizHome.apk.

Hi fffft, am using xtrolite rom version 1.3.5 on my s5 sm g900h, i asked in xtrolite thread to do a sec launcher 5/6, no one answer.
How can i make my launcher 5/ 6 gird, realy i dont like stock launcher or nova and apex launcher.
Its will be very nice if you help me
Thanks
..
sorry for bad english.
first go to playstore and
download the launcher of your preference
(recommend nova or apex)
install the launcher
download Es File Explorer
on Es File, go to apps page, backup launcher apk,
uninstall launcher
go to system/app
backup HwLauncher6.apk and HwLauncher6.odex
and remove
go to your backup folder, and copy/cut
the downloaded launcher apk
paste it in system/app
rename it to HwLauncher6
now the launcher icon would look like the
default huawei launcher
exit Es File
now your downloaded launcher would be your
default system launcher
(the system thinks thats the default huawei launcher)
huawei themes still work (unless you have xposed resource hook active)
icon packs work too
if any problem or question just ask in comments.
this is no longer a problem on the latest xposed
it is, if you want to use theming modules or any other module that use resource hooks
