Root Velocity 1.2.2 OPEN Beta

Looks nice!

But, any way to kill the "ICS Launcher" menu in settings? It's still there after changing to Holo launcher, and even there after uninstalling ICS.

Sadly, after my old phone decided to not be a touch-screen anymore, I am using my wife's old LG Ally, so I installed Velocity 1.2.2 - it's AWESOME. Except I'm stumped on the ICS Launcher.

I did what everyone in this thread said to do and installed ADW Launcher, which runs nicely, but ICSL is still hanging around and occasionally re-asserts itself. Is there any way to uninstall it, or keep it from starting so I can use ADW instead? I realize this thread itself and this project are pretty much dead, but if anyone happens to stumble in here, I'd appreciate the advice.

Well, the app is ICSLauncher.apk and should be found in the system/app directory. You can rename it so the Ally can't run it or delete it and free up a few more bits of memory.

This won't remove the options from the Velocity menus, however, but it will keep ICSLauncher from popping up when you don't want it. If you want to remove the menu options, you'll have to edit the Velocity Tool Kit itself (at least I think that's where they are). While it could be a fun way to learn more about programming and developing, that is beyond my ambitions at this point.
 
Thanks a lot, that worked great! It seems i also hadn't put ADW in internal storage, and put it onto the SD-Card instead. I deleted ICSL and have had no problems whatsoever. Thank you for the quick response.
 
:D

My Ally is still alive and kicking even though it's getting a little long in the tooth. While I dream of upgrading I still check these forums every once and a while. I'm just a user so when I see a question I can actually answer then I'm happy to help out.
 
Wow, I've been gone for a while, but it's nice to see velocity has kept right on going :) I miss the days of working on this rom with trident.

Still have my old LG ally, might have to boot it up with the latest version :)

Edit: Forgot to look at dates. Sorry for the necro.
