By holding down the home key to bring up the recently opened apps menu my phone resets the default launcher and will ask me to select one the next time the home key is pressed.
I don't quite know why it's resetting my default. I'm running Touchwiz 3.0 w/ Launcher Pro (although its done this same thing with any launcher).
Any help is always appreciated.

Hello,
I have an annoying behavior with QuickDesk and LauncherPro. It's kind of hard to explain, I'll try to be as clear as possible.
I'm using QuickDesk Pro [QDP] as the default Launcher and LauncherPro [LP] is set as the Favorite Launcher in QDP. I want to launch QDP by double-tapping the Home key and LP is set to single-tap. Doing the other way QDP as single-tap and LP as double-tap does the same thing.
When I tap "Home" a single time, it doesn't do the set behavior settings, which is "Open/Close screen previews" in LP. As a test, I set the Home key action, in LauncherPro, to "Hide/Show status bar". Then, when I press Home, the bar disappears at first. If I press it again, it appears and disappears immediately.
QuickDesk Pro's "Double Tap Timing" is set to 150ms, but I've tried to 1000ms, 750ms, 500ms and the same thing always happens.
It was as if the "Home" action was conflicting with both apps. I've tried many settings in both apps, but I can't seem to find a way to fix this (if user fixable). I've also tried to add LauncherPro to the "Translucent Exclusion List" in QDP, but it doesn't do anything.
Anyone else is using QDP and LP? And if you don't have this strange behavior, what are your settings please?
Thanks!
try checking the "Home button hack setting" or some thing like that in QuickDesk Pro, maybe it'll get what you need
This topic really needs to be labelled [Q] rather than [APP].
I have seen this behavior personally and not just with Quickdesk but any app you set as the default home app and then set LP to be your favorite launcher within this app.
The result will always be the lose of a few LP functionalities, most notably one tap on the home key.
The issue is definitely a conflict when setting LP as the favorite launcher and another app as the default Home. Only the developers of these apps can make them compatible, not something likely to happen.
I am using Enom's ROM which allows me to select what app to launch when double tapping the home key. So I set LP as the default Launcher and set the double-tap home key action and selected LP Activities and then launched Quickdesk's actual functionality, this worked nicely.
I'm having a problem with my ADW Launcher which is currently driving me mad and I hope someone is able to shed light on the problem I'm having.
I am using Streakdroid 1.9.0 update and after factory reset and flashing the rom (installing ONLY Gingerbread), I install ADW Launcher (free) through Android Market.
After installing ADW Launcher, I notice that when I long press on the icons on the home screen, there is no EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc menu. Just a simple trash icon on the bottom of the homescreen to remove the icon appears when I long press on an icon on the homescreen.
The problem is, I remember I used to have a menu with EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc previously with my ADW Launcher when I long press on the homescreen icons. How do I bring that back?
Another difference is that there is no more Lock/Unlock Screen option when I hit the menu button on homescreen anymore.
Anyone can help or shed light on this anomaly, PLEASE HELP. It's driving me crazy just wondering how I can get back the menu!
Thanks!
Have you tried using the paid version? I can email it to you

Been having a problem selecting a default launcher for the last couple of days. I have adw launcher ex installed but cannot set it as the default launcher because when i press the home button nothing appears just a dark screen fades in but no options to select a default launcher.
I have tried installing apps such as homeswitcher but the problem still persists.
Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? As it has effectively meant i cant use adw or the home button anymore without the dark screen appearing..
Thanks, Tim

If in the dock, take it out. If out of the dock, good. Go into settings, and enable rotation if it isn't already. Now try rotating the screen from landscape to portrait, and back again. Now try hitting home. It's a budget fix for the browser selection, so figure may work for your home issue.
Thanks a lot, worked perfectly. Much appreciated
Hello,
I'm having an issue where I'm stuck in 'Ultra Power Saving Mode'.
I was using the google launcher, not touch wiz. I entered UPSM and pressed the home buttom, at which point it asked me what default launcher to use. I selected google and now I only have access to limited apps. It's not the usual UPSM launcher.
When i go into settings only a few options are available (WiFi, Bluetooth etc) but nothing to allow me to exit Ultra Power Saving Mode.
I've tried flashing firmware via Odin (latest 6.01) but I'm still stuck in UPSM.
Does anyone know of a way out without without having to factory erase?
Thanks
Resolved?

Only solution I found was to wipe my phone
This worked for me: using package disabler pro, I uninstalled Google Now Launcher. After closing the app, I got back to the usual UPSM screen and was able to disable it.
Another way to get around this is to side load any other launcher and to choose samsung launcher when you open the new launcher.
Go into settings switch default launcher.
Go to the menu and find google app hold that app and move to the top of the screen and put that in the app info and tap Force stop now press the home button now it will again ask for the default launcher and now select touch wiz. That's it now you phone back to normal.
Hey guys I don't know if I should post this here if I'm wrong PLZZ guide me. So, I just bought a new phone and it came with stock android 11.
It uses quickstep as the default launcher but I want to use some other launchers such as nova or iOS launcher. But when I use them it's ok but when I set them as default home then also it's ok but when using other launchers and I press the recent button or swipe up or hold it says quickstep has stopped working. And then my phone restarts to a recovery screen witch says android filesystem not found it has 2 options try again and factory reset when I click on try again it restarts the phone and what I see is quickstep is again the default launcher . PLZZ help o want to use gestures or 3 button navigation with custom launcher. Hope u understand my problem.
Thanks
