i usually do this :

- copy another launcher from other rom (you can choose launcher3.apk or trebuchet) to /system/priv-app.

- reboot

- in next reboot, choose launcher3 as default

- delete novalauncher.apk from /system/app and reboot again

nah, you can install your own novalauncher or restore it via titanium backup

How can I solve the blurry battery Icon problem?

I tried to change it to the default and again to the circle with percentage and it still didn't fix itself. The default one works fine but I am getting this blurry icon only with Circle with percentage option.

BTW Viber almost chokes my android. I mean when i run Viber my mobile becomes really slow and unresponsive.

The default dialer too is very slow and takes 2-3 seconds just to start dialing a number. Is there any alternate dialer which we can use with this ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sjf9:
I have not blurry battery icon when I set "Circle with percentage" and also "Dotted Circle with percentage". Maybe it's connected with some modification eg. Xposed module for changing theme (I can't remember its name)?

blurry battery icon eh?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pleomaxell:
I already disabled Dial Pad touch tones and I didn't install Google Now Launcher. I only installed Xposed because I use Greenify, I never change any theme.

The blurry battery Icon happened only on that exact percentage. I don't get blurry icon always but on that exact percentage. I am just letting you guys know that it happens.

I can't say which percentage it is because it looks blurry.:rolleyes:

On the good side, yesterday I charged the phone and removed the charger at 12:00 AM and in the morning at 8:00AM after 8 hours only 2% charged was gone and I had 98% left.:victory:

Does anyone know a way to replace the lockscreen clock widget (DashClock?) by some other clock?

I tried removing DashClock.apk from /system/app but it still appears. I also tried copying DeskClock.apk to DashClock.apk but I still see the wrong clock widget.

I know I could set low_ram=false to enable lockscreen widgets. I was using that but switched now to low_ram=false to see if there is any difference with regard to app FCs. I'm used to seeing DeskClock on the lock screen and wonder if I can configure it somehow as the default clock widget...

If the phone is not booting beyond recovery, then either try connecting your PC via USB (I think it works by plugging in the cable and then switching on the phone) and see if you can copy files, or take out the SD card, plug it into your PC's card reader and copy the ZIP files (ROM and gapps of your choice) with the PC.

You could use flashtool, but as far as I know it can only flash boot.img, not the whole ZIP file. If recovery still works it's easier to flash from there, once you copied the ZIP files to your SD card.

Format (wipe) /system before flashing the ZIPs.

Not unless you explicitly wipe internal SD in recovery.

Oh well, just downloaded them again, just to see that they're missing GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk which means that there will be no syncing with google calendar. How to solve this? Can I just extract any missing apks from another gapps ZIP and install them, or copy them to /system/apps?

These Slim Gapps has been removed by their author, so I think the Gapps in the OP are not the same I'm using right now, that work flawlessly. I gave a copy of the zip file to alwaysadeel via Dropbox but I think he preferred to upload a different file on the OP. Use the search function on this thread, find my post where I put the link of the zip on my Dropbox (maybe "Dropbox" can be the right search key to find it fast) and try out if it's still on my folder. Otherwise tell me and I'll upload it again this weekend when I come back to home and I have my Wi-Fi.
