I have downloaded and installed apktool trying to mod stock Launcher to show 5x5 icons, then I installed framework-res.apk. I was able to unpack, edit the XML files needed (at least I think so lol) and rebuild Launcher2.apk, but when I try to used it it never loads. Any tips? Thanks
you might want to look into Apk manager, its a script that uses apktool to decompile APKs but will also can be used to sign apks once they're compiled again
Anyone tested the Launcher in the stock Gingerbread theme? All icons are rotated normally when you go from landscape to portrait and vice-versa?
This doesn't work in the HC theme Launcher: I can display as many icons as I want but as soon as I rotate the tablet, only the first 4x4 icons stay, all others vanish... Any ideas?
so... my kyros didnt like just swapping out the Launcher2.apk like that. it locked up on me with a black screen and I had to reset it. then it would not load past the boot animation. took FOREVER!>!>!! like over 2 mins. so....
I swapped it out in the firmware packet, and then reloaded it. also threw in some Titanium backup apk, the latest market and now...so far, it works well. I get 5 across apps both directions when I turn the screen....
Edit.. I lied. that 5th row vanishes. also, dont put any below them either.. they vanish too....
that said, I do like the fact that they are tighter together. looks better.. just some extra space on the backgrounds.
