I just installed cyanogenmod 7 RC1 and would really like to remove ADW Launcher and just have the stock gingerbread launcher instead. How do I do this??
 
not sure if you can, i think you have to use adw or launcher pro, but if it is possible go into an app then hit the home key, if the option comes up to select which app you want then you can change it, you can always uninstall adw within titanium backup and see what happens but you might want to make sure you have launcher pro installed first before you do that.

if you take out ADW, it will ask you to download a home replacement from the market. It will only direct you to the market, you cant go to the homescreen, until you download a home replacement
 
Install Launcher Pro, or whichever launcher you'd like to use instead of ADW, then in Root Explorer go to system and create an app.disable folder (menu>new folder>app.disable) then go into "app" and find ADW Launcher, long click and select move. Press back on your phone and select your new app.disable folder and select paste at the bottom of the screen. FYI you may need to click R/W in the top right corner before you're allowed to move it. By creating the app.disable folder you can always move it back to system>app if you want to use ADW again. This will also work for any app that you don't use and want to remove
 
Its very simple. Download one of the gingerbread launcers from the market (there are several). Once you downloaded it, if you hit the home key it will ask you which launcher you would like to use. Click the make default tab at the bottom, then select the gingerbread launcher.

Done!
 
Exactly. Then you can use Titanium or adb to delete ADW if you so desire. I had it on there since the beginning and just deleted it a day or so ago. But I use ADW EX, not that it matters much.
