Launcher PAC Rom - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,I installed the PAC Rom that I find beautiful. I have a question: would it be possible to change the rom launcher (trebuchet) with that of the stock rom?

Sure it is. Extract the launcher from the stock ROM, place it in /system/app with 644 permissions then reboot. After rebooting select it as your default launcher and you are good to go.

Why would u do that? Just download it off the play store. Install it. Change it.

thanks for the reply, can you tell me how to set it as the default launcher because if I delete the rom launcher and reboot the nexus goes into bootloop

Have you copied both the apk and odex file of the stock launcher? If that doesn't work, have you tried a deodexed version of the stock launcher? If that still doesn't work, have you tried leaving both the stock launcher and trebuchet launcher installed together (you might have to rename the stock launcher's apk and odex). If all that doesn't work, then use nova or apex launcher as an alternative.

Here you go.... Touchwiz 5x5 Launcher
Installation:
You will need a root capable file manager like "root explorer" to install this.
Temporarily install another launcher while doing this
Unzip the file and copy it over to the internal sdcard
Rename the stock SecLauncher3.apk to SecLauncher3.ap_ (just as a backup).
Copy the new SecLauncher3.apk to the /system/app directory.
Reboot
Set default back to TouchWiz Launcher
Good luck!
Enjoy!

Just a question, do I need to be on a Nougat rom to have the white transparent shade at the dock? Because I don't have one on stock MM.

Query about Aroma package !

Is it ohk to use Open Gapps Aroma package and let it remove corresponding inbuilt AOSP apps. Doesn't it cause any problem to ROM???

Not normally. It will remove any launchers, however, so make sure you have the launcher APK of your choice on your SDCard so you can install it once the ROM boots.

The Aroma package will install a launcher for you if you select one of them, if not then it will leave the original ROM launcher alone.

In my experience the Aroma package has always removed the stock launcher if I didn't specify a launcher. 6.01, 7.0, and 7.1 packages all removed the stock launcher (typically Trebuchet or the pixel-style default Launcher3).

Hmm, perhaps I am wrong. I have not tested with the aroma package very much as I am a nano guy myself. I used it once, but I did use the launchers included with aroma (when I did install is once). I read somewhere in the logs letting the user know that apps that were not being replaced will not be removed. (Which is why I claim that it leaves it alone.)

You should get update after few days running the rom, it will automatic install new launcher with app drawer and option for 5 by 5.

You need to use Eui launcher? No root you can install other launcher from Playstore easiest way to have app drawer, Flick launcher, Nova etc
If you want to use Eui launcher:
I think you need root and install one other launcher on the phone. I use app from Playstore "Root Uninstaller" by KunKunSoft to uninstall existing Eui launcher(Launcher3), reboot the phone. Then install new Launcher3 1.3.3.04 (apk file) from my link.
EUI launcher3: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vlT3M2-DzVUZk2eq4YBnpO1Fs-OdPHZn/view?usp=sharing

There is app call "Pixel drawer" by Sagar Vasnani if you want just app drawer, sometime I use it, just search by word "drawer" on Playstore
Thanks for the replies i really appreciate it

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.
