Link to 4.2.1 stock launcher? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Where can I find a link to the 4.2.1 stock launcher apk?
Switched to cyanogenmod yesterday but it messes up wallpapers so wish to revert launchers for the time being.
Update. Never mind. Found one. Extracted launcher2.apk from a stock rom on the development threads in case anyone else should be looking.
Further update. Getting an 'app not installed' error when attempting to install launcher2.apk.
Given up and moved to Apex launcher for the time being.

android ui on kindle fire HD

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051270
Evening all, Just refering to the above thread as i have been directed here to post with being a noob! I have already successfully rooted my kindle hd by prokenxusa's guide. To be able to use an android interface'does my device need to have a pre installed custom rom? There has been no mention in the thread above.
Any advice is appreciated.
To get a more traditional Android UI on the KFHD, you'll need to install a 3rd party Launcher such a Go Launcher EX or Nova Launcher Prime, but check this out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069668

rivo06,
No need to install a Custom ROM. Our guides are built for a stock Kindle Fire HD, not for anything special. There
are many Launchers and Themes available, so you can install let's say Go Launcher, then add an Android Jelly
Bean Theme to Go Launcher.
FYI don't use NeXt Launcher at this point in time. Went through hell to get it removed after I installed it.
I re-wiped and used the guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 and used his launchers that were supplied. I recommend either Nova Launcher or Go Launcher. With some of the other I experienced some slowness.
Go Launcher EX and HD

CoB_Mike,
That is what we were saying - NEVER install Next Launcher. We remember your issue and post, how could we forget it.
We to recommend Nova, Apex or Go Launcher - all are well developed and well thought out. We are working with
the Go Launcher development team to solve the problem with Next Launcher. They plan to resolve the issue next
release - in about 3 weeks.

Sprint BADBoyz V.3 tweaks issue

Hopefully I'm posting in the right place. If not, my apologies, I don't have permission yet to post in Dec threads. I flashed the bad BoyszV.3 nougat after the sprint US Nougat OTA and love the ROM just like I have for the last year or so I've been using Bad Boyz.
In my BB tweaks my MIUI and traffic colors will not change. All other tweaks seem fine. Running latest unofficial TWRP (3.03.9)and SU 2.79 with Nova launcher and an HTC Theme applied for wallpapers and fonts. I have tried removing HTC themes and Nova launcher then reflashing (dirty over otherwise perfect BB Rom) ROM to no avail. I had the same issue on 2.7 Marshmallow ROM. Wondering if it could be another app like CFLumen or the enabled Android systemUI interfering.

it's a known issue...still working on it
Thanks, not meaning to be a pain. Saw something in the forums about an updated systemui, I guess that was what I should have read closer. Love the ROM, thanks for all your hard work.

The protected app feature is something that conly comes to Cyanogen/LineageOS based ROM-s. It force crashes because it can't find the necessary libs and onther things that are specific to Cyanogen's system.

I recommend u to use nova or google launcher.
Remove all the unnecessary bloatware
Use custom kernel link ares kernel or hades kernel to overclock your device.
Also use seeder, kernel aduitor and recently app.
After doing all of the above, your stock MM will rock! :good:
