What version do you currently have?
Did it come with your rom or did you download it?
You can backup your settings (export) to your sdcard and restore (import) with the new version if by chance your settings are not preserved.
Im using CM 5.0.8 ,and it came with 0.8.9.
And how do i go about doing that export/import?
Either download link from your phone and install or download on PC put on SD card open file manager and install are easiest. Put it on a friends phone. Looks good. Backup and restore are in settings adw.

Do a search for ADW.Launcher in the Market, it's there. Just make sure you have a period in between "ADW" and "Launcher."
Hey,
I'm interested in updating the ADW.Launcher version that came with my CM5.0.8 rom, but I don't know if it's OK to update through market or get the apk file and use "adb install" or find a zip file to flash...
Could anyone make some light in here pls?
Thanks!
I have tried downloading the apk file for my CM5x and MDPI device from Anderweb's page but when I tried to "adb install" I get...
INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS
Can someone shed some light? Is there a way to update the ADW.Launcher that comes with a specific ROM version?
Tried using android commander?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Since I'm new to this scene, what is the difference between the "adb install" method and using the Android Commander (which I need install)?
Would Astro help in this case, because I remember reading that has support for installing apk files?
I'd like to do this update as clean as possible.
Thank you for the reply!
PS: I have actually installed Android Commander and installed the ADW.Launcher apk for CM5x MDPI as an Update (wasn't sure what to chose between Private, Application or Update) and the installer said it was successful but after reboot I still have the old version 0.8.6
Any ideas?
U can download it put it on your sdcard and install with a file manager. Doesn't matter which way u go. Should work. Done it both ways
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
I did it somewhat the way you said and installed it with Android Explorer as an update because the regular installation would fail with the error that the application already exists.
The problem is that the new version gets copied into /data/apps/ and I can start using it but after the first reboot it's not there anymore and I get back to the one that came with my CM5.0.8 rom which is in /system/apps/
I would really like to get a solution that would update the one in /system/apps/ which might be harder because it's a memory mapped version of the ROM and changes get lost after reboot.
Please correct me where I am wrong...
Have u tried goin to the market and installing it from there? It's like version 1.4.1 or something now
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
place the file on your /sd.
adb push /sdcard/filename.apk /system/app
restart home or reboot phone.
I ended up installing the one from Market and making that the default launcher, but I would really like to just replace the one in the system folder - no need to keep 2 versions of the same app
I'll try the method NetrixTardis was suggesting.
U can do it through the terminal as well. Maybe removing the old one will solve it. Use the rm command in the terminal and see if u can do it that way. Ex.
$su (enter after each line)
#rm /system/app/(name of app.apk)
Then u can use cp command to copy the one from your sdcard.
Cp /sdcard/(app.apk) /system/app/
Someone correct me if I'm wrong in the lines

hey johnson8cyl
I'll try that and let you know if it worked, should I copy it to the same name?
like /system/app/adwlauncher.apk is the name for the system app, while the Market installed one is org.adwlauncher....apk
do you guys know a good keyboard replacement and a way to configure the vibration alarm on my CM5.0.8? these are mostly the things I miss from my stock ROM
oh...forgot to mention the CM5.0.8 default camera does not have all the setting (like I can't set the ISO), is there one that does that trick?
thanks!
I'll answer the keyboard part. I've got Smart Keyboard installed and its a lot better than the stock Android one.

U have to use the names exactly the one your removing and one your copying. Names have to be what u want to remove or copy. That make sense?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Makes total sense to keep the same names only that I have this problem...
any ideas? kinda makes sense because that comes from the ROM and is mounted as read-only
# su
su
# pwd
pwd
/system/app
# rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm: can't remove 'ADWLauncher.apk': Read-only file system
ps: I actually managed to fix this what was missing is "adb remount" to mount system partition read-write
So you figured it out? Were you able to get it removed and replaced?

Hello dear Samsung Tab Lovers ;-)
I have a question for the touchwhiz firmware of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Can someone tell me how to deactivate the screenshot button in the task bar?
I just hate this button cause I always accidently press it.
Is there a way to get ride of it??
The same question
Thanks!

You can get titanium backup free in the market. It will allow you to uninstall screencapture. You need root for it as well as for root explorer.

Thanks for the suggestion and I can stop those stupid screen capture !
You don't need to uninstall it with Titanium Backup, just freeze it. I have no idea what mad scientist at Samsung thought there was the dying need to make screenshotting an ever-present feature button.
paradoxni said:

It can be done using adb.
I'm assuming that the system apps are located in /system/app/ like my phone (I don't have a tab yet, though hopefully I will soon).
If that is true then a
Code:
adb rm /system/app/screencaptureservice.apk
should remove it. I have an inkling that there might be some capital letters in there (Like I said, I dont have the tab so I cant check), if the above code gives you an error about the file not being found type
Code:
adb ls /system/app/
which will show you the list of all files in /system/app/ and change part of the first code to reflect any capital letters.
I would suggest not deleting the file but renaming it or moving it somewhere (so it can be restored afterwards. Both are done with the same command mv (short for move)
The following code would rename the file and add renamed to the beginning:
Code:
adb mv /system/app/screencaptureservice.apk /system/app/renamedscreencaptureservice.apk
Or alternatively:
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/app/
mv screencaptureservice.apk renamedscreencaptureservice.apk
Whether renaming/moving or deleting I suggest rebooting after completing the task.
This will be great for my not-so-tech parents Tab, they would be so confused by the false "screenshot" screen if they would be pressing this endlessly.
Worked great thanks, don't know why this button exists.
Overly complicated since there's a setting in (ICS) it to change it: Settings -> Display -> Quick launch.

On my ICS rom which is based on the stock touchwiz, in settings>display>quick launch. You should be able to change what the button does or to remove it completely. Hope this helps if you have the same options.

Turned out to be pretty simple. Thanks a bunch!
so as you may noticed catlog /logcat/ alogcat and such are not working properly or at all.
that is because google added a new permission request from apps which they don't usually request.
but alas, there is fix, if you're working with one of the latest versions of JB (quarx or epsylon3 it doesn't matter) you can fix it by simply by following the next steps:
1. make sure your'e phone is rooted and has superuser or any other permission manager app (superuser zip flashable can be downloaded here)
2. enter the app drawer and enter the "terminal emulator"
3. gain root permissions by typing :
$su
wait for the notification about permission allow/deny, and allow it.
4. now you give permission to the program you want by writing the following line:
pm grant [programs name] android.permission.READ_LOGS
(the upper case /lower case is important)
I.E for catlog you should type:
Code:
su
pm grant com.nolanlawson.logcat android.permission.READ_LOGS
now your logging app should work fine, enjoy!
Thanks! ill try it, i need logcat a lot

It worked! Thanks a lot. For alogcat it's
Code:

pm grant org.jtb.alogcat android.permission.READ_LOGS
Here's a way to make all log reader apps work instead of going one by one:
su: "chmod 04755 /system/bin/logcat"
or open root explorer, navigate /system/bin/logcat, long press logcat and select "permissions", then check the box "Set UID".
Both ways require a reboot after!
Hope this helps, thanks to ChainsDD for this!

Thanks, really thanks.
I use aLogcat and the code that I used was
Code:
pm grant org.jtb.alogcat android.permission.READ_LOGS
You can find your logger program accessing with any root explorer the folder "data>data" and look for the name of the folder that contains the name of your app within. I looked for it because I'm not using the same app that you used, so I opened the "Root Explorer>Search" and searched for "logcat". So I found the folder "Data>data" and tried using the name of the folder that was "org.jtb.alogcat" and worked.
Thanks very much, nice job.

Thanks for the alternative way to do it. Though considering the information the logs contain, I would rather grant a specific app than have everyone see it.
I'm on Sky-JB T11.4 and while I can grant the permissions successfully, there is no content in either alogcat or catlog, even after a reboot. Catlog just shows a spinning busy circle forever, and alogcat just shows a blank screen.
Tried running an app I know crashes (WMUR 9 News app), but the same behavior continues...
Any ideas where to look to resolve this?

Check your ROM's kernel doesn't disable logging. Semaphore for my SGS does this but there's an app by the dev to renable it.
Thanks

if you install as system app and then install a later version of google play as an update, this works with kindle fire, thats how people were able to get google play working this may work if you uninstall newer vending apk/ remove it from the gapps zip.

This is the google services framework that was packaged with the vending.apk : https://www.dropbox.com/s/2rgpp75p60dl5ls/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
I dont know if its modified or an old version or whatever but might work (I just don't know if it will mess up other gapps) Its worth a try but I'm not too optimistic
You need to install the GoogleServicesFramework and reboot the device before attempting vending.apk.

More specifically, NCT doesn't show up unless I install it but if I try to uncheck "Allow Non-Market Apps" and check it again, it says that the app must be installed under /system/app. That means to me that it's not running under /system/app.
