Hi, I installed Launcher Pro and I see a huge potential for customization. Except I'm having one issue. No matter what I set the default home screen to, it always reverts to 2.
I can change the number of homescreens just fine. I wanted to have 5 screens with 3 being the default. No matter what though, it always reverts to 2. I tried to set the deafault to 1,3,4,5,6,7 and always it goes back to 2.
I'm running on a rooted Hero with Extremely Blue Mod with an uncapped kernal.
I was thinking maybe I had to give Launcher Pro super user privileges or something but if I can change the number of homescreens then that means it's saving changes correctly. Any help?
I just installed LauncherPro on my Nexus one (v2.2.1) and am having the same issues - Default home screen is always #2. I haven't seen anything in the LauncherPro forums about this yet so maybe I'll start a thread there.
I got it working after messing with the settings for a while. After I checked the "Home key to default screen" (was off by default) in the Behavior Settings menu, it's working just fine now. Not sure if it's a feature or a bug, but it's working now - happily.

Brand new to launcherpro and I love it. However when I reboot my phone it always restarts in HTC sense even though I have LP set as the default. I have LP set as the default using HomeSwitcher. I have also cleared all defaults in sense. Is there a way to have my EVO boot straight into LP? How can I avoid sense stuff from wasting resources while I am running LP?
LP+
EVO 2.2
Thanks!!
At The first time when i have installed it, i had the option to select between the standard and the launcher pro screen.
I checked the "always use this" and selected launcher pro, now i have it forever even when i restart my phone. i love it =3
try to reinstall it, push the home button and select it as default.
You can also download Home Switcher, open it and select Launcher Pro as default, also handy app to switch from one launcher to another
I am already using Home Switcher and have LP set as the default. Any other ideas?
Still cant seem to figure this one out. Rebooting keeps coming back to sense even though LP is my default set in Home Switcher.
what ROM are you running?
Have you tried re-installing LP?
Yes I have tried reinstalling LP twice now. When I press the home key I hit the check mark to always use LP and in Home Switcher I have LP set as the default. However it continues to boot to sense.
I am running an unrooted stock EVO.
I noticed the same thing on my Desire stock 2.1. Sense always runa in the background. If you kill it then it restarts itself.
I'm planning on installing CM6 soon so I'm not bothering with it. But you might be able to keep Sense killed with a task killer app.

You might need to root your phone, install "Autostarts", and then kill Sense during the phone's startup routine.
These two issues are bugging the hell out of me.
1. I have launch Pro, ADW and of course Sense. Then i noticed the home default was reset randomly.
I then narrowed it down to the notification drop down. Everything works fine until I pull the notification down. After this if I press the Home button, I'm presented with the choice of three.
2. In Locale app, the wallpaper setting doesn't work with the HTC gallery.
At least for this I found a workaround. Installed a free 3d gallery app and set the wallpaper that way.
But the first issues is driving me bad. But I', no way using the Sense launcher.
I was just wondering if any of you guys found a workaround or no one but me cares.
I got ADW EX since it is 10 cents today and I don't know how to make it my default. My Xoom is not rooted and running 3.2.1.
After I install ADW EX and press the home key nothing happens. The screen just gets dark, going to neither launchers. I go into Applications and the option to clear defaults for both stock/ADW EX are not highlighted/doable. They are blacked out. I can only clear data on both of them. I installed Launcher Switcher and it says no default set but it won't let me pick either launcher. I then installed Home Switcher and it again said no defaults set but this time I was able to pick ADW EX as my default. BUT, even after doing that, after I press the home key it goes nowhere again, nothing happens, dark screen.
I restarted my Xoom and after boot animation the screen was black, I could only see the bottom bar where the back/home/windows and time are. Neither stock or ADW EX was launched after I restarted. I had to go into Settings, Applications and open ADW EX to get it to come up. I then uninstalled ADW EX and pressed the home key which brought up the stock launcher. Hunky dory. I reinstalled and the same problems happened.
I searched the forums and looked online but I don't know what to do. I can manually go back and forth between launchers but that's not what I want... I just want ADW EX to work when I press the home key! I suck lol. Could someone please help me? Thank you in advance!
There may be two different issues in play, but if you are stuck with the stock launcher as default, go into settings, apps, choose the stock launcher and on the bottom of the page you should be able to uncheck default. Then if you have ADW installed, you should get the dialog box to choose the default launcher. If the screen dims and does nothing, just rotate your Xoom (i.e. landscape to portrait) and the dialog box should popup.
It could be related to another App you have installed. I did a Google search and some one else had a similar problem on an Incredible 2 where they couldn't set a launcher and it turned out to be a keyboard app causing issues.
I have a similar problem too. After installing the adw launcher I can no longer open links or office documents, or execute any other commands that require a selection via a dialog box. I tried uninstalling the launcher app, but that only fixes the home button not the other things. I already tried resetting all the defaults using the several apps in the market, but that doesn't worked. any help would be greatly appreciated.
whenever I click on an internet link or try to open an office document that I downloaded the screen dims down as it would whenever a dialog box appears except no box shows up.

Enable Autorotate and rotate your Xoom when the screen dims. It's a Honeycomb bug.

thank you. It worked like a charm. I feel bad for blaming the adw launcher for this issue, I was about to leave a bad review...

I'm glad you didn't leave a bad review...I love ADW...
Ouch! If only I had read this yesterday before I wiped my Xoom and tried to reload all my launchers, only to find the problem still existed. :-(
The auto rotate worked like a charm.
Geesh.

I've been stuck two days now trying to change the default launcher on my MIUI ROM. It sounds like a simple task, but for some reason, it isn't. The problem is when I switch to another launcher, pressing home always returns to the MIUI default launcher, no matter what I do.
Some of what I have already tried:
1) I've allowed MIUI to give full root permissions to the launchers. But I cannot clear defaults or manage permissions for MIUI's launcher in settings, as it is greyed out.
2) Tried setting the launchers to set themselves as default (and keep in memory), within their own settings wherever possible.
3) I've tried several apps promising to change defaults to allow for alternative home launchers. None worked.
4) Tried changing BUTTONS (in Android settings) to have the HOME button do nothing or open recent apps. No matter what, it always quits the 3rd party launcher and returns to home of MIUI launcher.
5) I tried freezing MIUI's launcher and running Apex. This finally worked to keep Apex as default! Except after I rebooted, it got stuck on boot and I LOST EVERYTHING.
5) I upgraded MIUI unofficial ROM to 4.2.2, then 4.9.19. No difference.
6) If there is an option to "set default launcher" in a given app, and I try to set it to that launcher, it will only allow the MIUI system launcher as an option, and automatically return me to the MIUI launcher!
As far as I can tell, the problem does not appear to be related to: the phone, the ROM, or the launcher app. Why, because I had ADW working fine for years over a slightly previous version of this MIUI ROM (v4.1.2). I can't remember when things changed, but probably some time after trying Apex. But now, setting the launcher to ADW again changes nothing, the system still returns to MIUI home.

Have you already attempted setting ADW as the default launcher, immediately going into the directory where the MIUI launcher .apk is, deleting it, and then rebooting? Make a full system backup first, of course.
If you do that, I believe your system will have no choice but to use ADW upon booting.
I do not want to use ADW any longer, but yes, I just did that (after installing a third earlier version of the Blackwing MIUI ROM, v3.9.27). I did not remove the MIUI apk, but froze it (same effect). The phone did not boot into ADW. It just froze on the MIUI logo screen. I also can't set ADW as the default launcher, via settings.
I've literally spent an entire day on this problem, and still can't quite pin it down, because all this *used* to work. I had this same ADW app with one of the aforementioned versions of MIUI, running for ages with over 200 apps on the phone. My best guess is it must be a conflict with one of the installed apps, but then..... why is it acting up *now*?!.
On top of everything, I did a back up of my system&apps with ROM Toolbox AND the MIUI Backup app before messing with the MIUI launcher and having to redo the ROM. Now when I try to restore, *both* of those apps no longer have their backups! (insert angry emoticon)
It's looking like I can no longer use MIUI on my Galaxy S3.... the only ROM I ever liked! :crying:
Hi all,
I've had a strange experience recently where at least once or twice a day whenever I close an app the phone defaults to stock launcher rather than Nova ( Nova is selected as default launcher)
I then have to manually go into settings and reselect Nova as default launcher.
Anyone having this issue or have any idea how to fix?
Thanks.
Me. mAny many many and many times. I give up of using nova launcher and I am using the horrible native launcher. Completely annoyed.
I am using nova for the past week. The only time I had this issue was when I tried to add a widget that is specific to the native launcher. I supposed you have added the launcher to ignore optimization?
I've got the same problem. Do you have the MHA-AL00? On the AL00 I definitely have this problem, but I don't remember having this problem on the L29. Yesterday, I set it for Nova to ignore battery optimizations, and it's been okay since then, though. Not sure how much that matters.
Edit: Literally ten seconds after typing this message, my phone went back to default launcher, so that's not how it's solved unfortunately.
There is a Nova setting called "Agressive Desktop". Enabling it seems to have fixed the issue.
A day later: Confirming that it works!!
===
This is Chinese model MHA-AL00
I've selected the aggressive desktop option...Will see what happens. I think this is specific to the Chinese ROM ( my handset is Chinese )
As an aside I dont see an option for a daydream clock in my ROM?
Smart Launcher here, no probs!
Didn't work for me. Still switches back despite enabling aggressive desktop.
There is one thing you can try, and that is to lock it in the recent apps list. Nova launcher settings won't show up if you are currently using the launcher. So set the default launcher to Huawei Home first. Then open Nova launcher and goto nova settings.
Press the home button, which should take you back to Huawei Home. Press recent apps. Nova settings should now show up in the recent apps. Press the little lock icon and lock it.
Not sure if it will work for you. So far it is okay for me.
Have tried the recent app lock mate... Thanks for the tip!
I just find all the Chinese android versions have super aggressive app kill properties, even after you go through all the optimisation and turning it off it still does it. The final jigsaw always seem to be locking the app into memory in the recent apps list. I had a xiaomi previously and that phone used to kill things even locked in recent apps -.-
Also was using the phone with Assistance & voice input setting changed to launcher 3 and trusted agent set to Smart Lock (Google). Today Smart Lock randomly popped up with my home address.
So right now I also have it auto unlocked while at home (not via bluetooth only). Now the problem is I cannot access the setting again
I agree. I did stop buying their phones for this reason but couldn't resist the mate 9
Hmmm... This was an issue that really bugged me, but it works now. Nova stays as default, and it's solid. Besides the Aggressive Desktop, I gave Nova all the possible permissions, so re-check that.
Tried aggressive desktop as well as locking in recent but nothing seems to work. Any other ideas?
