So I just updated from the leaked .13 froyo to OTA. As I was restoring apps and removing bloatware through Titanium Backup, I deleted the "Accounts" application. I thought it would remove the icon from the application drawer, which it did. However, now when I go to Settings > Accounts, I get a force close; also, the sync icon remains in my status bar. Can anyone either send me the apk, or the backup files from titanium??
Thanks in advance!

Is your phone deodexed or not?? I ask because if it is... you need a deodexed Account apk.
Can someone please explain deodex-ing please.
Look for chadhaney(. Com). Sorry for the (), I'm a new user and can't post links. Look for droid x default and it has downloads for all the stock apps.
This is the page i use to reinstall bloatware/system apps. After you download, it will save to your sd card.

In simple terms... deodexed is making your phone available to be themed. It removes all of the .odex files in the system/framework and system/app and combine them with their corresponding .apk
In a stock phone you will have as an example Camera.apk & Camera.odex. If you deodex your phone, the two .apk and .odex will be combined into one Camera.apk.
That is also how to check if your system is deodexed or not... look in your system/app & system/framework folders and if you do not see any .odex, then you are deodexed and ready for themes.
Sounds like you are not deodex so just follow what Lt1demon says.
Does anyone know where i would put the APK and odex files in a Captivate to get this working?
you would need to put them in /system/app which requires root. that should work if you're running stock rooted. if you're running a deodexed system then you'll need a deodexed .apk or it will start rebooting.
Hi,
I've been wondering if I could somehow push the stock 4.2.2 Launcher that comes with the stock jellybean update into lets say CM10.1? I always preferred the stock Launcher over all those different ones, is it possible though?
Take the app from the stock ROM located in system/app. I believe its called "launcher2".
Then just put it into the system/app directory of the other ROM. Also change the permissions to rw-r-r, and delete the old launcher that is there. (In the case of CM, I think the original launcher is trebuchet so delete that apk)

I tried that before and I couldn't get it to work, I also tried to install the "Launcher2.apk" and it refused to install, I managed to install it by doing the following steps:
1-Flash the stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147281
2- Download Titanium backup and back-up the "Launcher2.apk" file.
3- Do a full reset to phone/cache/dalvik
4- Flash the latest RC1 CM10.1 or whatever ROM, then reboot.
5- Install TB again and then restore (App+Data) for the "Launcher2" file.
6-Reboot
7- When booted, choose the "Launcher2" as the default Launcher.
8-Finally, launch TB and deleted "Trebuchet", Reboot.
The procedure might take long and I'm not sure if there is an easy way to do it, but I got it to work that way.
Thanks!
I've tried every way I know of to try and swap the stock browser on MDL with the stock browser from MJ6 or MJ9. I can't get either to work...
Has anyone made this work? its such an improvement...
Have you tried pasting the apk to the /system/app folder, fixing permissions, installing then rebooting?

I'm on an odexed stock ROM, but yes. I've tried the browser apk and odex file, just the apk file, and even the popup apk and odex files. can't get any combination of them to work.
it installs, shows up in my app drawer but crashes on launch.

Not sure if you want to modify your own TW launcher or locate one that is already modified for 5x5. A forum search would find threads for both approaches.
Here is a summary of what you'd need to do to effect the change yourself. If you find this confusing, then you should search the forum for a more detailed tutorial.
Backup your phone.
You will need apktool to decompile the launcher, /system/priv-app/TouchWizHome.apk
Copy the framework packages to the apktool directory, i.e.
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
Open a command prompt
Add the frameworks to the apktool configuration:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if twframework-res.apk
Decompile your launcher
Code:
apktool d TouchWizHome.apk
Go to the TouchWizHome.apk/res/sw360dp-xhdpi folder
Open integers.xml and change the grid to 5x5
Code:
<integer name="home_cellCountX">5</integer>
<integer name="home_cellCountY">5</integer>
To shrink the icon sizes, edit dimens.xml
Recompile the package
Code:
apktool b TouchWizHomeNew.apk
The recompiled package will be unsurprisingly named TouchWizHomeNew.apk
Open both the original TouchWizHome.apk in your apktool folder and the recompiled one with winrar.
Copy over the "res" and "resources.arsc" files from the recompiled apk to your original launcher apk, overwriting the files that are there. This is done to preserve the apk signature.
Copy the modified TouchWizHome.apk (not TouchWizHomeNew.apk) to your priv-app folder, overwriting the original.
Confirm that the apk has 0644 permissions.
Reboot to recovery mode and clear your system cache.
Reboot.

If you were trying to install it with the package manager e.g. by clicking on it.. it doesn't work like that. This is a replacement system app that needs to be moved to the correct directory, rather than installed per se.
Backup your phone just in case anything goes wrong.
Your phone needs to be rooted, so that you have access to the system files.
Use a root file browser to copy the new launcher to /system/priv-app/TouchWizHome.apk, overwriting the existing file.
Check that the launcher has 0644 permissions.
Wipe your system cache and reboot.

I try all of this but it doesn't work .When I reboot my phone a pop up window appears and ask me to choose a launcher .but the only choices is simple touchwiz nova and next launchers.
Otherwise when I put the original touchwiz when I put the home button a pop up window appears with next nova simple touchwiz and full touchwiz. I do a reboot in recovery I wipe dalvik cache other dalvik and when I reboot I choose the touchwiz and everything is good

You didn't mention earlier that you had a custom launcher installed. Your custom launcher has probably disabled the stock launcher. Revert or uninstall the custom launcher, so that your phone is using the 100% stock launcher. Then move the one in this thread into the priv-app folder.
If you didn't explicitly install a custom launcher, then your Omega ROM may be packaged with a modified or renamed launcher. You can search the Omega support thread and/or search the forum to find out if that is the case.
Or try one of the other 5x5 modified TW launchers in the forums.

After reboot still can't see the launcher

You're not providing nearly enough detail to discern what is going on with your phone. What does can't see the launcher mean? If you couldn't see the launcher you wouldn't have a homepage. But somehow, I doubt you would have neglected to mention that if it was the case.
You didn't spell out what you did step by step, confirm the path and name of your existing launcher, provide before and after screenshots or anything else that would give us crucial details to either see what went astray or where you made a misstep. Your signature says that you are using a Nexus.. are you installing this on a S5 or N5?
The launcher has worked fine for dozens of people. A few in this thread have had difficulties, but it's impossible to know why because of the lack of details. If you expect constructive help, you need to provide exhaustive detail of your situation.

Sorry mate.
I'm trying this on my wife's S5 which is Australian version.
Steps
I'm using Google launcher as default.
First downloaded apk and over written it to the location mentioned.
Changed the permissions as mentioned
Cleared the defaults for Google launcher
Booted to recovery
Wiped cache
Restarted
Now I can only see the option select launcher after unlocking from restart
The only 2 options visible are Google launcher and easy touch wiz
Plz refer to below screen shots
Note - the original Touchwiz launcher is around 4 mb while the downloaded one is around 3 mb
And the old touchwiz works fine when I revert
Thx

The extra detail helps enormously.
You didn't mention a lot of crucial facts earlier in the thread e.g. having installed a non-stock (Google) launcher already, Australian variant, odexed ROM, etc.
Ideally you should revert your phone to a stock launcher before installing this one as I have no idea what changes you made when installing the other launchers, nor did you describe them.
This launcher is also intended for a deodexed system, although if you remove the corresponding odex file e.g. remove both TouchWizHome.apk and TouchWizHome.odex and wipe the launcher cache and data from the Application manager and wipe the cache partition from recovery mode, I expect it should still work on your phone.
Your immediate obstacles are the presence of the odex file and possibly your modified system configuration expecting a launcher file name other than the stock TouchWizHome.apk.
