[Q] Merge Launcher Pro with Miui

Hi,
I am a big fan of MIUI but i awfully hate its default launcher.
I was wondering if there is a way whereby i can replace the stock MIUI launcher with the launcher pro?
Thanks!!

Just download it from the market.

Thanks for the reply fiskenigaten.
But i was actually wondering of integrating it with the rom itself.
you know what i mean ?
There should be no miui launcher left!!
thanks.

Just set it as default when you install it. Then you'll never see miui launcher ever again.
Or if you want to take it to the extreme, you can use titanium backup to fully remove miui launcher after you've installed launcher pro. But honestly I don't recommend it. Just stick with the first solution bud

If u decide not to keep miui don't move launcher pro to SD. . Or use a root explorer and move /data/app/ launcher pro (I think its a different name but same icon) to /system/app and long press it, hit "permissions" and unchecked all 3 on the 3rd row, and the 3rd one on the second row. Save. Reboot.

Titanium backup pro has the option to integrate into the rom, just find launcher pro and long press and you will see it. I do this all the time with go launcher it lets you still do a factory reset safely, whereas it would disappear and you would have no launcher if you didn't D:

install launcher pro... select as default after pressing home button...
use a root enabled file explorer e.g. root explorer...
navigate to & mount system/app/
rename Miuihome.apk (think that's its name) to Miuihome.bak...
done ^^ no more Miuihome.apk a.k.a MIUI stock launcher :highfive:

Rename your launcher in as AdwEx paste it in .systemreplacer folder in root of sd card
Go to repencis lab > system replacer > select replace app>wait till you get success message

Note10.1 JB leak 5-layouts multiwindow interface [Confirmed Working]

Hi Folks,
MOD for JB 4.1.1
I made this experiment to have the multiwindow interface from Note10.1 JB leak for my N7000 and by luck and a bit of guts, it worked and it looks awesome on my note1. I was just wondering if it could work on note2 using the same idea that I discuss on my thread. I don't have a note2 so I can not test it but I wanted to share the idea in your forum thinking maybe somebody might have the guts to try and explore. It's a learning process for me. I'm sure there are among you who are on the same learning process.
I think the N7100 already have all the necessary lib files for Note10.1-style multiwindow interface. All you need is to copy the missing permission files from the Note10.1 and find a suitable systemui. With the note1, the missing permission files are com.sec.feature.minimode_tray and com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet in the /system/etc/permissions folder. I also enabled the nav bar to access the miniapp drawer by editing build.prop and adding qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0 and change the ro.sf.lcd_density to 213. With the note1, the suitable dpi was between 200 to 213. Then I copied the systemui,apk and seclauncher2.apk from the Galaxy Tab 2 7" and overwrite the ones on my note1 in /system/app folder. Of course, whenever you copy or change files in the /system folder you need to set the right file permissions, normally -rw-r--r--. With the N7100, you need to find the right dpi, you can try 200, maybe less, maybe more. You need to be on a rooted deodex rom and make a nandroid backup before you do this and install another launcher like apex or nova in case the systemui or tw launcer forecloses so that you can be able to change the dpi to another value until you find the sweet spot. When it finally booted without systemui error, I know it finally worked. After that, all I did was swap the apps from the TAB 2 7" and Note10.1 to my note1 one at a time to see which works on my note1, some works, some don't and found modded apps on this thread most of which works on my note1. That's it fellows. Take a leap.
Attached are the files I have used for my mod on note1 and I believe it would also work on note2 by using a dpi of 192. It is not a CWM flashable file. You will need to extract the file and manually copy to specified directory as described here or according to the folder structure of the extracted zip file.
Procedure:
1. Requirement: N7100 Jelly Bean 4.1.1 rooted and deodexed with unlimited apps multiwindow mod installed. Please make a nandroid backup first so you can return to your previous state in case you need/want to.
2. Install another launcher like Apex or Nova as a failsafe in case TW Launcher forecloses.
3. Install another keyboard and enable it in Settings in case the stock keyboard does not work at 192 dpi.
4. Download SystemUI.apk, SecLauncher2.apk and SecBrowser.apk and copy to /system/app folder overwriting the stock files using Solid Explorer/Root Explorer or any file manager that has root access and set file permission property to -rw-r-r (644).
5. Download permissions.zip below, extract and copy just the contents to /system/etc/permissions folder and set file permission property to -rw-r-r (644).
6. Install build prop editor from the Play Store. Run Build Prop Editor and change ro.sf.lcd.density to 192.
Then add new property: qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0.
7. Reboot phone and explore. The tray bar at the bottom controls the window layout so if the current layout is not dual-mode then using the flashbar panel to open apps in multiview (that is dual-mode) would not work. It takes a while getting familiar with the interface so take your time.
8. Download modded apps from the Note10.1 forum or maybe mod your own using the guide located in the same thread. You can also use the modded 240 dpi apps as alternatives or import the stock apps from TAB 2 7" and Note10.1 and see which one works.
As always, I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Do it at your own risk.
UPDATE:
So one member - f3w1n - has confirmed he was able to make the mod work on his note2 using 192 dpi and is in the process of exploring the apps that would work from the note10.1 on his note2. See post #10.
MOD for JB 4.1.2
The difference between this mod and the 4.1.1 is that there is no longer a tray/nav bar and that there is only one window layout, that is floating, movable, resizable windows, fullscreen and back and forth, and that there is no need to modify the manifest files of apps just like they do in Note10.1 to work on multiview because almost all apps can be resized but not all apps are supposed to look nice and work on window mode. Some apps are not intended by their developers to work and look good on window mode. The flashbar panel no longer works as I said earlier because there is only one window layout - floating windows. The mod is already working for me in the N7000 on this thread .
1. Requirements: N7100 phone with rooted deodex JB 4.1.2 with unlimited multiwindows mod installed. You can use most custom 4.1.2 roms which already have the unlimited apps multiwindow mod built in. Make a nandroid backup to be safe and backup your apps and data with Titanium Backup/Ultimate Backup,etc.
2. Install an alternative launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW or whatever that supports multidpi just in case stock launcher forecloses. Install another keyboard and enable it in Settings in case the stock keyboard does not work at 192 dpi.
3. Install build prop editor from the play store and edit ro.sf.lcd_density = 192.
4. Download the permission.zip file below and extract it. Copy just one file: com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml and place it in /system/etc/permissions folder with -rw-r-r (644) permission using Solid Explorer/Root Explorer/Root Browser Lite/Es Explorer. This is the file that makes it all work. Then delete the file com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml or just rename it to something else.
5. Download the SecLauncher2.apk below which I took from the TAB 2 7" as the stock launcher is not suited for this mod. Make a backup of the stock launcher. Now copy the SecLauncher2.apk to the /system/app folder with -rw-r-r (644) permission.
6. Download the SecBrowser.apk which I took from the Note10.1 as the stock browser won't run on this mod. Make a backup of the stock browser. Now copy SecBrowser.apk to the /system/app folder with -rw-r-r (644) permission.
7. Reboot your phone and explore - open apps, resize them, move them, open multiple apps, and so forth. Let the rom settle for a while as it builds the cache before it resumes the roms usual speed. As in 4.1.1 mod, you can use apps from TAB2 7" and Note10.1 as well as the modded 240 dpi apps in N7100 forum.

So cool. Pls make one for note 2 stock rom! Thaks!

Oh this is friggin' SWEET!!! Man I hope you can get this working on the Note 2 soon. I think it would be especially useful on a much larger screen, like via HDMI on a docking station or something. Hope you can get this to work in TW as well.

Does it affect battery life?
If it needs root that will be the reason for me to try rooting my Note 2

Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app

You have to overwrite the apps that you have attached in the OP, change the lcd density in build.prop to a maximun of 192 (a bit small but its ok) and ad this in the build.prop aswell: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
So far all is working excenp samsung keyboard and some apps look strange (should be fixed using the note 10.1 ones. Also i think that there is a post with resaizable stock note 2 apps)
When i have time im going to download the jb leak of the note 10.1 and try some apps

There must be at least 25 different launchers which has the option of creating folders and which are just as good or even better than nova prime. So why not just find a better launcher which supports folders and one that works properly. Good luck!

Just move one icon on top of another and it'll create a folder

thank you so much

Find a SecLauncher3.apk TW version and copy it using root explorer to the system/app directory, and set the proper file permissions, catch is, do this why you are on nova launcher, or it will crash on you.
Good luck
thanks you
