[miamifin33]

Pretty simple question. I use Launcher Pro and would like to remove the ADW launcher from the Apex rom. Thanks guys.

Its pretty easy if you go in Terminal.

$su
# launcher
After u type those in its pretty much self explanatory ...

I have to add though, AdW is way more custimizable than launcher pro....

Also make sure you have another launcher dl before that or you got nothing. I just use root explorer and delete the apk file. I been a lp guy since my droid 1 days. I was back and forth between lp and adw and stuck with lp.

you could use Titanium backup to freeze it.

LP Has ALWAYS ran much smoother , and lightning fast for me! I just set LP as default, and NEVER have any probs with ADW..........

Yup thats what I did , ...Used Titanium Pro to freeeze ADW , had a bad first time Xperience with ADW , hahaha but still Opt. to freeze other then remove

it's interesting to me how fairly loyal people seem to be to their aftermarket launcher of choice. i think one or the other works better for individuals based on their hardware/setup. for me, ADW is much faster and less problematic than LPP, which i paid for and used for many months. anyway, not wanting to hijack the thread. just an observation...

I don't know why you would want to delete or freeze it. Just use HomeSwitcher to set LP as your default. That's what I did on my phone. Leaving ADW there wont interfere with anything.

Where do I find it in root explorer...For some reason, I haven't been able to find the apk file.

If u REALLY feel the need.......its launcher.apk in system/apps

Is there literally no upside at all to removing ADW if I'm using LP?

You would gain back a mb of memory. Not much. Just set the first time as lp as your launcher and forget about it.
