Jrummy Themed LauncherPRO Blue

[lethalpimp]

Ok I heard you up there saying that "its unzipping itself" I have been trying all this stuff with the folder u gave with it zipped and with it unzipped. None has been working. BUt would i want it zipped or unzipped? and if zipped u said rename it launcherpro.apk, would i make the fil path in CMD "launcherpro.zip" or launcherpro.apk or what? It seems I have tried all of this and it stil isn't working, im going to give it a try off the file you just posted in the last post though, thanks a lot for helping

Ohhhh are you unzipping the contents????

you don't have to unzip anything... you just rename...

download the.zip

rename the .zip file to launcherpro.apk without unzipping anything... then just cp the renamed file...

NO i have been trying to do everything zipped, so for the hell of it I started unzipping it and trying...but anyways...the emulator still not working. What is wierd is that I put the "launcherpro.apk" in tools dir.
#1 Adb push LauncherPRO.apk /system/app
#2: C:\Users\Daniel\Documents\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb
push launcherpro.apk /system/app
cannot stat 'launcherpro.apk': No such file or directory

Is "stat" a typo in cmd? also i dont quite understand when it says no directory cuz i am looking at it in the tools folder at this moment.

C:\Users\Daniel\Documents\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push LauncherPRO.apk /system/app
push: LauncherPRO.apk/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF -> /system/app/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
failed to copy 'LauncherPRO.apk/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF' to '/system/app/META-INF/M
ANIFEST.MF': No such file or directory


there ya go. Still not working.

hmmm i've never seen anything like that, its like its unzipped and there's no manifest file. I'm going to pull the launcher off my phone and post it. try that one. have you tried fixing your permissions yet?

once you do the push you should just get the "daemon started successfully" and the amount of data that was transferred....

I am getting this too in term em no such file or directory? I am running Kangerade with no theme and doing exactly in the op?

Has anyone actually tried this and it worked?

 

[lethalpimp]

yay im not the only one(good for me, bad for you SDI). Yes I am administrator

 

[glynch]

It is a permissions issue. Did not work with the directions in the OP. I used root explorer to set the permissions to the same as everything else in system/app, rebooted and bingo.

I tried it yesterday and it worked fine, first try. Followed the directions in the OP.

Successful screenshot attached.

Yeah, anybody having trouble with this must fix their permissions since it is not signed. Which is why it has to be pushed into system/app

The only problems i've seen with this are those 2 posts, i have not received any PMs of additional problems...

as glynch said, fix permissions reboot and retry. Hopefully J will take these and sign them and turn them into an update.zip for the next release.

you don't have to install anything, its already installed into the /system/app directory. which means after you reboot you should be able to push "home" and it will gie you the option to change your default Launcher.

you push through adb or terminal? make sure you reboot...

 

[wickked51]

ok. i rebooted and there is nothing. i pushed it via root explorer. could that be the issue?
