Just flashed [ROM] 13/9] Eragon v.2.0 | Android 5.1 and tried uninstalling nova launcher but every time the phone crashes and i have to perform a factory reset.
You really want to uninstall it or use different launcher? Simply install different launcher it will let you choose to not use nova launcher.

i dont know why nova prime dont work for you.. lol
for me its fine.
you dont need to uninstall nova launcher for prime.. the nova prime app is only a key for nova launcher..
just download prime from playstore and it will work..
if you really want to uninstall nova launcher from system and you want to reinstall it again do this:
1. download another launcher like apex. (thats why your system crash, because if you remove nova there is no launcher in rom and nothing to display)
1. with a root explorer browse to system/priv-app
2. delete the nova folder.
3. reboot
4. download nova from playstore.
5. remove apex by uninstall it.
6. done

I cannot seem to figure out how to uninstall launcher pro. i tried going to the market to uninstall and everything but there is just nothing there, it just asks me to install. anyone know how i can remove this?
D/L another launcher from the market, install it.
Uninstall LP via Root Explorer delete of LP files, reboot, utilize new launcher.
Home Switcher anyone? get that, switch to default launcher, uninstall LP from Android Market

Hi,
I was wondering, is it possible to uninstall the Android stock keyboard on my cell (CM7) with "Root uninstaller"?
That's pretty large, 11MB, and I'm using SwiftKey... So that could be great.
Thanks!

If you want to replace ADW, yes its possible and basicly recommended since CM uses old build of ADW, even tough its made for system use. But yes its possible. And its recommended to do it the way I have done it.
1) get Titanium backup from market, free version will do just fine
2) get an app that can browse root and set permissions (Root browser free recommended)
3) get the launcher APK you want to replace ADW with, it can be old version, market will update it to the latest.
Once you have all these
1) Rename your desired launcher "Launcher.apk"
2) Copy it to system/app
3) Set its permissions to match this
Code:
Read Write Execute
Owner X X X
Group X
Others X
4) Reboot phone
5) after reboot press home and choose your desired launcher
6) delete ADWlauncher via Titanium backup (Also any other app can be removed using TB, default keyboard for example)
Hope you get your desired launcher
Replaced mine with MIUI ADW Launcher btw
I just installed Go Launcher, and removed ADW with root uninstaller.
Working great.

yes why not... but make sure to have nand baskup whenever you do anything like that...
it can be done with dialer, msg app, keyboard, stock browser, launcher or anything like that... just install new one, make it deafult, set it up, try it few days and see if it crashes or bugs, if not, just uninstall with root uninstaller what is no more needed

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.

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

Install stock launcher apk, then uninstall nova either thru titanium backup or delete thru system/app using a file explorer
Edit: and don't forget to reboot after removing nova

Download any deodexed stock rom and open up the zip and get \system\app\Launcher2.apk. It's as easy as that . If you want to remove a launcher, open up the .zip and just delete it before even flashing the rom (though make sure you replace it with another). You can usually add/remove apk's from the rom .zips before you flash all you want as long as you do not force md5 checks when flashing (well, as long as you don't remove any essential apks).
MD5 check before changing apks
Do check for MD5 before changing apks, so that you know nothing else is different except the changes you made.
Simple way

You don't have to use other aps to get ride of it. Just delete some chache and data of Nova, reset nova setting, then you can uninstall it, forever from your smartphone. As simple as simple it self

I would think all you need to do is install Nova prime, are you getting an error message when you try to install it? You can't disable it or unistall it because it is considered a system app. You can use ROM Toolbox to remove system apps but be careful.
Don't know why you wouldn't be able to upgrade but what I would do is;
1) Install ROM Toolbox
2) Install another launcher like Holo (just to make sure you have a launcher available) and set it as the default launcher
3) Use ROM Toolbox to uninstall Nova Launcher (I don't know if you need the pro version to uninstall apps but I don't think so)
4) Try to install Nova Prime
5) Uninstall the other launcher you installed

I had the same problem.... As stated above, just install a different launcher, then use a app that can remove root apps (root uninstaller from play store is free) uninstall nova and then install prime.

Thanks. I will give it a try. As of now I have switched to "Android Revolution HD" as I running into different issues. But I will observe the battery life on this, which very good so far and then with try to switch to LiquidSmooth in the weekend.
Thanks for the support. I really appreciate it.
