I want to completely delete my home launcher and make the GO launcher my official and only launcher on my rom. Is that possible? How can I do it?
Get a app like titanium back up and install go launcher as a system app and then after that's done just delete the stock home....I would suggest you just freeze it though in case anything goes wrong....and also don't forget to do a nandroid back up

Thank you!!!! How do you perform a nandroid back up though?
Use cwm and click backup.

You dont want to delete the home launcher if you didnt create a nandroid backup. If you delete the home launcher and you dont have a third party launcher installed you get stuck with a black screen.

That's why you install go launcher first before you delete the other launcher

Use motomizer to set default home app

root your phone and use root uninstaller, you can uninstall every app, including system apps like the stock home launcher and others

Use an app called Root Uninstaller and uninstall it from there.
Or
Use Root Explorer to remove ADWlauncher.apk from system/app
But seriously, there is an almost same thread right below this one which has the answer.

Install the GO Launcher, and then use a Titanium Backup remove ADW

You can use the System App Remover to remove the aps that you don want. But be careful as it deletes system app as well.. so make sure you install an alternate launcher before removing t=ADW
All,
Been using Nova Launcher and its backup/restore on ICS. Recently switched to JellyBean and running stock. I forgot how much of a pain to reset my widgets, apps to my liking.
To avoid doing this everytime I flash Jellybean rom, is there an easier way to backup my stock launcher setting?
Thanks!

Can it not be done in Titanium Backup? I thought it could.

it can, you just might have ui errors until it gets updated.
It would be so great if someone knows the location of just the datafiles for the stock launcher. I want to do the same thing. No reason to use some backup app to do it. All I want to do is once I have my home screen set up the way I like, go grab the stock launcher data folder and save it on the sdcard.
Then the next time I load a new ROM all i have to do is copy that folder back and my home screen is back again.
At least that is my fantasy world...

It's
It should be located in
/data/data/com.android.app.launcher

I feel like an idiot for asking this question but can i uninstall Xperia Home and have Nova Launcher be my only launcher?
Also are there any losses from doing this and any other bloatware used in this package?
Thanks In Advance! :good: :fingers-crossed:
If you have root, yes. Just make sure to install the new launcher BEFORE removing the stock launcher. To remove the stock launcher, delete it from /system/app/ or just uninstall it with TitaniumBackup

Be sure to make a Titanium backup first....would suck if you uninstalled it and didn't have a backup just incase and had to reflash to stock.

Yeah i did. All done. Anyone know an app to move to system? Or do i move it from data/app/ to system/app/ ????
I've done that actually. It really don't matter where u hav the launcher in. As long as u hav another launcher u can use it as a replacement.

Hi!
Is there any way to replace the original sony launcher with a custom one? Personally i want to use Themer Beta. Anybody did this before? Is it even possible with Themer Beta? I'm on .757
The reason i want to do it is because after i unlock my lockscreen the original launchers background appears for a flash. I'ts pretty annoying. Beside that i think the original launcher is always in memory (i wonder if this is the case?) which is a waste in my opinion.
Thank you for your answers
I don't really know but I think it shouldn't be a problem. Why don't you try it? In case you don't have any launcher anymore, you can always push the original launcher back through adb or recovery.
You could try freezing the Sony launcher first instead of deleting it for good.

yea, try freezing it first using titanium backup then replace the launcher with themer beta using root explorer..
I'm curious to know how this goes, as I'm unwillingly to try this myself (my daily driver)
I use a different launcher... Just installed it and made it default... No issues found (for some things u need to be root)

I used Titanium Backup to backup the app, than uninstall it. After that i used the "convert to system app" function to move my launcher to /system. It is working fine.
Freeze the Xperia launcher with titanium backup or some other such app. Won't bother ya anymore.
