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.

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.

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

Questions go in the Q&A section
Phone : Nexus 4
ROM: Cyanogen Mod 10.1
I've seen numerous apps such as "Launcher Pro" and "ADW Launcher" which allow you to change the stock icons on cyanogen mod, i have a icon.apk which is installed however i would like to use these icons using the default cyanogen mod launcher trebuchet rather than having to use a third party launcher such as ADW is this possible if so how??
Will i need to replace each icon individually? Surely this is built into cyanogen mod via the themes section but i cant seem to fiqure out how!?

no this is not possible on the stock launcher unless you download and apply a full theme, just search "CM10 themes" in the play store. also, you could use a different 3rd party launcher like apex or nova, each look exactly like the stock launcher except they have way more customization. both of these are available on the play store as well
Is it possible to add these icons to the Cyanogen Mod zip then update the os?

Is there a way to get the trebuchet launcher from CM on the stock samsung firmware? I don't mind waiting for a CM port if/when it happens, but i really miss the trebuchet launcher. Is there an APK somewhere i could sideload?
I've tried the bazooka launcher (a clone that's in the play store)...it's just not the same.
Have you tried or is it possible to pull the launcher apk from the custom rom?
There seems to be an apk here for it you can try or if someone with the device would like to test

Why not give Nova a try? It's built on the same open source code as Trebuchet, and it has many additional features and options. You can find it on the Play Store.

Nova is all I've ever used. Grabbed the paid version when it was being offered for free I think.
@mattdm
He asked where to get trebuchet. Not for other options. If you don't have an answer, then don't answer. When we want nova launcher we will ask.
Straight from our 5/30 build: http://www.2shared.com/file/aQDpjDJr/Trebuchet.html?
1) download
2) install like any other app (no root required)
3) press home button
4) make trebuchet your default launcher
5) enjoy

How is the Nova launcher? Does it give a full experience of Google edition, or should I flash a customized Google edition rom? Thanks.

I like very much the nova launcher... You have a lot of themes and is very customizable... but in my opinion, always is good idea try other roms... for example, I change my rom every week or 2 weeks... but I always use nova

The thing is, I used to have HTC phones [One X and One] and I only know how to root and flash roms in HTC. I'm unfamiliar with LG's method, and I'm afraid to ruin it.
