I think when given the option to use regular home launcher or Nexus launcher in super D, i might have ticket the always use this option box, and stuck with the original cupcake version. Is there any way i can choose, or go back that dialog box so i can pick which launcher i want to use on start up between stock and nexus launcher?
Search is your friend.
Also manage your apps and wipe defaults for your nexus launcher.
go to settings applications/manage applications then look for the home app and then click clear defaults then press home button and you should have the option to chose either the regular or nexus launcher

Maybe I am dumb, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I downloaded and installed launcher pro. When I hit the home button, I accidentally chose the regular launcher as default. Now, even when i go into home switcher and choose launcher pro as default, when I bit the home button it defaults to stock. How can I change that? Thanks.

Have seen the same thing before. Simplest thing is don't use home switcher. I don't think it works very well. One way to fix it is to uninstall launcherpro and then reinstall. Then hit the home button and check the little box at the bottom before you pick launcherpro.
Thanks man. I ended up downloading Home Switcher for Froyo and it did the trick. I noticed that in the default home switcher, there is a check box to enable the ad blocker. I never seen that before.
Change from launcher proback to default launcher:
Go settings > applications > downloaded applications. Select launcher pro and clear default settings(last option). When you hit home again show ask which launcher. Select default then click the one you want.
Change from default to launcher pro:
Go to system applications, look for "launcher" and clear defaults if this is the current launcher.

if that ever happens again you can go to settings>applications >manage applications >launcher(or launcher pro depending on which one you want to take off)>clear defaults

I just want to know how to get example1 instead of examplecurrent (attached).
I am ultra new to this modding stuff and have no idea what to even call this bar. But I am wanting to the the transparent 5 icon thing w/ phone messages ect at the bottom instead of the little standout-ish 3 icon one... help plz =P
All you'll have to do is install LauncherPro from the market. It is a launcher replacement app and is extremely popular. You'll be able to choose what apps/icons to put in the dock(that's what the bar is called ) along with all sorts of other customizations. There are other launcher replacement apps like ADW, GO launcher, Zeam, etc. Each have their own advantages and you'll just have to see what works best for you and your phone.
Then what?!
Ok I have downloaded LauncherPro , I believe cm7 already came with ADW or w/e so how do I change over and try the new one out and mess with settings and all that?
When you go to the homescreen you should get a popup asking you which launcher to use. If not, there's an app called home switcher or something like that. The settings can be found by pressing the menu button then selecting preferences. To change which apps and icons are in the dock, just long press on the one you want to change and you'll get a popup menu.
Hi guys.
I really like the GO Launcher app, but one thing that made me delete it is the fact that in ICS it opens their own search app when you press the search button. When I had Gingerbread, it was all great, it always opened Google Search when pressing the Search button.
Is there a way to change this without rooting the phone?
I've got ICS 4.0.3
And if there isn't a way to change this, are there any good Go Launcher alternatives? The LauncherPro seems cool but I can't stand it that it can't swipe the drawer menu horizontally.
Thanks
I was thinking of an app that could easily switch launchers. I've tried the apps on the play store, but it's not fast and easy to switch launchers. I thought of two ways to make this possible:
Option 1) *My personal favorite* Have a shortcut that takes you to another launcher. Add it to your home screen, and click it when you want to use it. I realize you can just add the icons for the launcher, but I'm talking about Touchwiz and Sense. It would be great for the shortcut to be themeable, because I have an all white/transparent thing going on in Launcher8.
Option 2) Click home button multiple times and go to a launcher. You could order it, like, 1 hit: Touchwiz, 2 hits: Nova, and so on. Just go in the app and drag to change order. Best suited for capacitive buttons.
Bonus, because it's not quick and easy) Add a Notification. Once it's hit, you can choose the launcher that the home button will take you to. Check the launcher you want, and hit home. Works best if you want to use a launcher for a certain amount of time.
What do you guys think? If any developer could attempt this, that would be awesome.
you can try "home manager" from the playstore. It helps to switch home from the notification bar.
About to pick up my P9 (yay!)
Are you guys sticking with EMUI or using a custom Launcher?
I'm currently rocking a Nexus 6 and love stock Android so am thinking of going with Google Now Launcher.
What do you lot use?
I'm sticking with EMUIs launcher as I like it and that it allows me to hide any annoying bloat apps that I cant uninstall as I don't wish to void warranty yet to remove them. I like googles launcher but all the apps will be shown.
To change default launcher when you get your phone:
1. settings
2. apps
3. advanced
4. default app settings
5. launcher
6. select google launcher to change
Personally its up to you to decide whether you like EMUI and want to keep using its' launcher or whether to replace it.
Thanks.
I've already started using Google Now. I agre, it is annoying that I can't yet remove the Huawei apps I don't want but I guess for now I can deal with that.
EMUI is nice but coming from my Nexus 6 I just want that stock feel. Haven't removed the squared/rounded app icon edges yet.
So far though LOVING this device.
I prefer Google now. I ran into a problem with it though with regards to icons not changing if I selected a new theme.
To override this go to settings > apps > Google app > storage > manage space > clear launcher data will allow the icons to be changed as clearing data/cache of Google now launcher did not seem to do the trick.
I've gone back to EMUI.
I noticed (maybe you can test this too) that when listening to music through my headphones, if I pressed the home button (or tapped on any icons) the music would skip and it ALWAYS did it.
It doesn't do it when using EMUI as the launcher.
I'm using Nova as it get's close to the stock Google Now launcher but still have personnalisation options like gestures, etc
