[Q] Use stock launcher on AOSP Roms - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if it's just me but, the stock launcher is always more smooth and fast than other launcher like new trebuchet, Nova, Apex....
So i have a question : if i put launcher2 apk extracted from stock ROM in the priv-app folder of an AOSP ROM , and apply the right permissions, will it work?

You can just install it like any app.
I grabbed it (Deodexed) and installed it on my N5 which is Unrooted. Worked just fine.
Also you can use Google Now Launcher too.

And just un case, when i say stock laucher, i talk about this one :

[Q] Touchwiz settings

Ok, I give up. I have Googled for 3 days and read that **** manual cover to cover.
How in the world do you edit the Touchwiz settings? I remember the first day I went to the settings and changed the Show Windows from 5 to 7.
I for the LIFE of me cannot remember how in the WORLD I did that...
So, please, please do not flame me...first Samsung phone and clueless...
Thanks
For some reason, I thought it was under the MENU, then on some i have seen EDIT , but its not there...grrr....

Hi I don't think you can change touchwiz setting short of rooting your phone and editing a few text files. The Epic comes with 7 homescreens and can't be changed from it unless a new launcher is installed. You can however disable the touchwiz launcher if you want the vanilla android look and you can also install an aditional launcher such as launcher pro, which is what I did. Installing a new launcher means you cannot use the touchwiz widgets such as the friend update widget or the taskmanager widget or any of the touchwiz clocks. However the comm manager in the notifications bar is still there as well as the task manager button on long home press.
See read here:

-To edit order of homescreens or # of homescreens, go home, press menu and then edit

So that option is not available on our phones? Or is this a "modded" Touchwiz...
We have a gimp version of touchwiz until Froyo comes. Many of us use Launcher Pro or ADW because Touchwiz mostly sucks and the widgets do the same.

[Q] new and weather widget

Hi All.
I have been flashing roms for some time, but a noobie for posting to the forums (need to increase my post count so I can properly use the most applicable forums for my rom).
Anyway, one widget I use often is the news and weather widget (4x1), but I find that it isn't in all the roms, including my current one .
I was thinking to copy the widget across from a stock rom, but am not sure what file/files are required.
Does anyone have any hints?
Thanks.
Which widget is it (picture)?

I have a feeling its this one they're referring to...
What ROM are you using by the way? I'd imagine any of the Sense ROMs would have it...I'm using the 9600gt Stock which has it
Sent from my HTC Desire
its geniewidget.apk or genie something. I know because
I delete it from my rom before flashing.
Hope this helps.

thank you bro
Thanks all
That is indeed the widget that I am after. It is in most roms, but my current favourite sense rom is iNsertCoinHD DATA++ v03, and this is where I am really missing it. I have now loaded redux just to play with it, but expect to go back to my favourite again.
I periodically switch between HD roms and AOSP based ones - aiming to find acceptable replacements for all the good HTC apps/widgets in preparation for next upgrade that may not be HTC device.
use a backup app (ex Titanium Backup) and use it to restore after flashing any rom

I also flashed again the theme and have none of the above problems. Your signature is current? If so, this theme is not suitable.
restore aurora backup, then flash the theme.
i try at weekend with full wipe
Sent from my HTC Desire with Sensation ROM
so, i flashed aurora new and flash your theme.. all fine!
edit:
after few minutes comes many FC, back without theme
I'm also getting FC's for Titanium Backup and Play Store. Maybe I did something wrong or flashed it improperly. But back to unthemed for me too ):

Question.
HDX 8.9 with 14.3.2.3.2. Rooted w/ Towelroot and have SuperSU installed. The HDXPosed module is installed and activated. Installed GPlay w/ KindleFree (wouldn't work with other methods and I'm sure I followed the instructions down to a T). Installed latest versions of Apex and Nova launcher. With Apex, I can only get the default wallpaper to show up; with Nova, can't use any wallpapers. Attempting to use any Live Wallpaper will lead to the "Live Wallpaper Picker has stopped" error. Attempting to use a wallpaper of my own by navigating to it via ES FIle Explorer leads to my selecting it successfully, but there's no change to the background.
Is this because I accidentally let the device update to 14.3.2.3.2? Seems like almost everyone else was able to change their wallpapers to their heart's content.
Edit: Saw a thread in the Android Dev forums, and one person recommended the "Image 2 Wallpaper" app. It worked beautifully. Still not sure why normal launchers can't change the wallpaper, though.
