Now that your ViewSonic 10.1″ GTablet has been rooted lets take off that nasty Home application by replacing it with LauncherPro. This is pretty much the same steps as we used to Root your G-Tablet anyways follow the instructions below and feel the speed of your G-Tab. (Updated 4/8/2011)
Step 1. Download the Latest LauncherPro from the market. Links have been removed very outdated version. Search for “LauncherPro” on the Android market place. If you see an improvement on your device purchase the Plus version. Definitely worth it.
Step 2. Connect your G-Tablet device to your computer via USB.
Step 3. Click on the notification icon on your G-Tablet device and choose “USB Connected” mount via USB/Mass Storage. Give your computer a few seconds to recognize the SD-Card.
Step 4. Now the file that you downloaded before you want to copy the .APK file to the root of your SD-Card.
Step 5. Now that the launcherpro.apk file has been copied to your device un-mount the SD-Card or disconnect your device from the USB.
Step 6. The G-Tablet comes stock with a application called “ES File Explorer” click/launch that program. It should take you to the root of your SD-Card but if does not please navigate there.
Step 7. Find the launcherpro.apk that you added to your SD-Card, Click on it choose “Install”, after it has been installed click on the “Home” button on your G-Tablet device and it should now ask you. “Which Home application would you like to use?” – You can check the checkbox at the bottom that says “Use this as default” so every time you hit the home button it won’t keep asking the same question.
And there you have it your device should now be much, much faster without that ugly stock launcher. You can now theme LauncherPro to your liking and modify some of the preferences to increase the speed. If you are having problems please post a comment.
