How to root (for noobs) and install native multitouch browser (ported from milestone) – Android Forums.

How to replace launcher.apk in system folder – xda-developers.

Well theres 2 types of home replacements.

1. Who allow themselves to replace stock launcher
2. Who dont allow and have to be used as stand-alone

Regardless ur cleanest method would be :

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Launcher.apk
adb uninstall com.android.launcher
adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*Launcher*
adb shell rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*Launcher*

Now just place ur favorite launcher in ur /system/app folder.

adb remount
adb push /system/app/

Now just reboot ur phone

The same happend to me with quick settings widget. Fortunatelly I found an easy sollution. You have to connect your phone with PC and use adb:

adb shell “echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness”

now the backlight is back and you can change the backlight brightness.
