I'm on 1.0 and I'm trying to switch to ADW Launcher. I downloaded Android Terminal Emulator from Jack Palevich. I open TE, type su (enter). The first time I did this I got a grand superuser prompt and said yes. Then switchapk laucher adw and I get the ADWLauncher.apk ... wget: bad address 'files.ccroms.net' FAILED message.

I downloaded and installed ADW in the market before I found that I needed to run this script.

I did a search and saw someone else get a bad address error and they were told to run su first and it worked.

When i put in 1.0 this morning, I did a flush/clear, installed GA, put in a 125-1200 lv kernel, and used the NexTheme theme.

Suggestions on what to do / try?

First off, you don't need the market Terminal app. Go to Dev Tools and launch a terminal window there.

And you don't need to use the switchapk script for a launcher anyway. Just download and install ADW and then set it as your default launcher.

Thanks. DFU, I use Widget Locker and it was holding onto the base launcher.

You do need to switch it out if you want it to run in /system ...
