i installed the new 1.4 ROM and now i cant get launcer pro to stick... ill hit home and it will pop up asking what launcher to go to. ill click the box to set as default then select launcher pro... then i can hit home and it will take me to launcher pro, but then out of no where it will pop up again asking what launcher i want to go to?? so ill click the box and set launcher pro as default and it will work for a while then do it again?? anyone have a fix for this?
i should also say that i was having this issue on 1.3.2 right before i installed 1.4...
I have this same issue and I'm stock. Everytime I run Adw it doesn't stay.

So get tired of trying launcher pro so set sense as my default and same thing happens? Must be something clearing out the default. It randomly happens but then I can also make it happen by long pressing the home button to pull last opened apps...
what is launcher pro exactly? ive seen it talked about alot..

go to the market and search for it....you will see what it does...it is free...you can try it..see if you like it..if not delete
I have been running launcher pro plus since BAMF 1.1 and have not had any issues. Other than always constantly customizing.
Are you running free or pay version?

Ok First off hello and thank you all for your outstanding newb service you have provided me with . I recently purchased a DX and with the help of you all I have Rooted, Deodexed and customized the hell out of the damn thing (newb level). I am currently running apex. My question is how do I disable the Tranq launcher and enable Launcher Pro? I have uninstalled and reinstalled launcher pro multiple times however, I can not run it. When I first installed the apex rom (after 928 black glass) It asked me what I would like to use as my default launcher, I selected Tranq and checked the remember this box (thats not what its called but you get the idea) thinking I would be able to run Launcher Pro if in fact I did not like Tranq. When I try to "launch" LauncherPro through astro it gives me the following error Activity Not Found. Astro is the only way I can find Launcher Pro even after install. I just scroll to the install, select it and click "launch". Thank you and I apologize for the crazy post (Im multitasking right now, typing with one hand feeding my baby girl with the other) Any ideas?
Do you have root explorer or titanium backup? If so check to see if launcher pro is installed. Of it is you can remove stock launcher.

Yes I have titanium backup pro but I dont see Tranq launcher on there. The only launcher I see is Launcher Pro. Should I uninstall Launcher Pro with titanium? Will that help?
You could try Home Switcher
http://www.appbrain.com/app/home-switcher/ymst.android.homeswitcher
I don't think it lets you set a default home in Froyo (2.2), but it will let you switch to another home.
Switch to LauncherPro and remove/rename the one you have

I agree Home switcher is the fastest and easiest way to switch between different homescreens/Launchers. And FYI is does in fact let you set a specific one as your default in Froyo.

You need to go Settings - Applications - Manage Applications, and then select Tranq launcher. Once done, scroll down and click on "Clear Defaults". Now, when you hit the home button again, you should be asked which launcher you want to use. Or use Home Switcher.
Alright, I have fixed the problem with the help of all you. Thanks guys!
I'm having an issue with Go Launcher Ex and was wondering if anyone has seen it or has had the same issue. My Apps and Widgets are getting removed/moved/copied from home screen to home screen. This is what i did:
added apps and widgets to pages 1 - 5
reboot phone
page 1 looks good
page 2 has page 3 apps/widgets
page 3 is good (default home page)
page 4 has page 5 apps
page 5 sometimes is good, sometimes has page 4 apps
My phone setup:
Infused 2.2.3
Infusion Core A
Universal Adrenaline Shot xix
TransFuzion 2.1 theme
Go Launcher EX as Default launcher
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Skot
I had this as well with dlev but I'm running go now with cm7 and I've had no issues.
If you turn auto rotate off it should solve it. It did for me.

I did not try this yet. I've just been using the built in switcher.
I'll give it a shot. Although, I am thinking about switching over to dlev since Infused is the first ROM I've ever flashed.

I meant Desk Migrate. I thought this might have caused your problem,but if you didnt download it ,it cant be your problem.
I've been using Go Launcher Ex since they hit the market. It's the only one I use since my Captivate. Great launcher.

yea.. no, i didnt use the desk migrage feature. I did download the Home Manager as recommended by Go Launcher, but they mentioned it was only if you could not set it as default (which is not my problem). My problem still exists after using Home Manager to switch launchers.
and i agree Go Launcher EX is awesome but this home screen thing is killing me. Launcher Pro works but i dont like it as much.
i'm thinking about reflashing the back up i took right after i flashed Infused to get rid of the TransFuzion theme just in case is some kind of compatibility issue and see if i still have the problem.

I don't remember. I messed with it so much. I went ahead and restored my backup without wiping data (which already had TransFuzion installed) and re-installed Go Launcher. Tested it with default settings, seemed fine. Installed the same Go Launcher theme I had before, still seems fine. Now I just have to re-flash my kernel and modem that I had.
I ran go for a while and never had this issue.
I prefer ADW Ex though.
i restored my backup and re-flashed my kernel and modem. everything is good to go now, havent had any more issues.
I'll check out adw. i'm still researching all this stuff, so, i'll try anything twice... because the first time could have just been a bad experience.

Only after I got it stable again. I restored my backup which was Infused 2.2.3 with the TransFuzion theme applied. then installed Go Launcher EX, tested it. then installed Infusion Core A then UCKJ2 modem, tested it. then installed Universal Adrenaline Shot, tested it. Then applied some Go Launcher themes, tested it some more.
It's all stable now, haven't had any issues.
**The only tweak I had on before that I have not applied is the build.prop edits. I may/may not put those in, I haven't decided yet.
I just got my atrix 2 today and have rooted it and installed titanium backup.
It seems the default launcher was overwritten by adw ex.
Does someone happen to have an Apk for the moto launcher so I can put it back?
Try an app called Homeswitcher. Will allow you to swap back and forth between any custom launcher and home.
yeah I use homessmack and totally forgot to use it to select my default.
Its fun to be a noob again.
I have homeswitcher installed. when I clear defaults it only lists ADW EX and Go Launcher EX as choices.
If u want it back u have to remove it. All Motorola androids are like that the stock launcher disappears til u uninstall the others. My atix and electrify was the same way

hmm, home switcher worked for me.
there are 2 versions of home switcher, are you sure you installed the right one?
either way, i too had the, cleared defaults and moto launcher still didn't show up problem.
Ok glad to hear this weirdness is normal. Thanks for the replies.
Yeah Moto's home comes right back when you remove ADW. It seems like a courtesy feature. Motohome just goes and hides in a corner and lets other homes do their business without asking if you want it to be default.
I am very happy with the Launcher that comes with the Atrix 2. Why would I purchase or download a different one?
Ermmmm... Well first off, customisability and... nothing more?
If that launcher fits your needs then keep it
Just to have more options......
I'm switched but now am back to running stock.

Customizability and tons of more options. With an aftermarket launcher, you can pretty much tweak the look and feel of your device to suit your needs and desires. You can make it look like "your" device. It doesn't hurt anything to install one of the free launchers and try it out. I would actually recommend it. I personally use LauncherPro but ADW and GoLauncher are pretty good choices as well. If they don't suit your needs then there are many other options on the market. If none of them spark your interest then the stock launcher may be your launcher of choice. It's all about options and choices...Take that iPhone guys!!!
I was fine with the stock launcher with one exception...I cannot stand the horizontal page scrolling for the app drawer. If I wanted my phone to behave like an iPhone I would have kept my iPhone.
So I use ADW or Zeam and got the vertical scrolling back.
In case anyone cared, ADW EX is one of the 10 cent apps on the market today. I typically use Go Launcher, but I'll try out ADW again. Customization is always cool with a launcher.
Most helpful reply, lilhaiti. I am not familiar with Launchers, new to Android, but quick to learn. Thanks!
Sorry if I hijack the thread, but today I installed the ADW Ex and I don't know how to switch back to the original launcher.
Can anyone give me a hand?
I have not found a way to switch without uninstalling ADW. There used to be (still is?) a "home switcher" app in the market. I have used it in the past on other phones I've owned. I don't know if that would work on our phones or not.
The home switcher app should work. Otherwise, you can go to manage apps from settings, select the launcher and remove default. Once you hit your home button again, it will ask you to select your default again.

D'oh! I totally forgot about the remove default option. Using an iPhone for 7 months made me dumb.
Thanks for the answers. I went to app manager and under ADW the option "clear defaults" is greyed (not available) and it says "No defaults set".
Edit: I just tried the home switcher app and it doesn't work either, I can "launch" the original launcher but when I put "set as default" the app crashes.
Do you think if I uninstall ADW I would go back to the original launcher?

I would assume that uninstalling adw would let you choose the stock launcher the next time you hit your home button.

This should be true. For some reason with this phone when you install a third party launcher it automatically sets that launcher to default. So by removing ADW you should get the stock launcher back.
I don't know much about this launcher, but ADWLauncher EX is on sale for $0.10 on the Android Market ONLY today. If you want to try it, tonight is the time to get it.
P.S- There's a useful free tool called "HomeSmack" that lets you toggle between multiple launchers at once.
Hi,
Just upgraded my phone a week ago or so and am having some issues getting ADW Launcher to stay as the default replacement home launcher after rebooting.
Every time I reboot the phone it will ask which app to use for the Home button. I choose ADW and Always. It keeps that setting until the next reboot.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Bob

Are you running any special mods or tweaks that might be wiping the Defaults settings?
Just curious have you tried Apex or Nova launcher? IMHO, they seem to be lighter and faster than ADW, but that's my preference!!

I'm running stock JB; read some articles about rooting, but haven't rooted yet. Had my Charge rooted with no problems.
I will try another launcher, but I think I also had GO Launcher installed and it did the same thing. Doesn't seem to be launcher related. It almost seems that Sammy wants their launcher to be the default, so it asks every time the phone reboots.
I bought ADW while it was on sale a while back. It worked better on my tablet than Apex and Nova. I am really only running it on my phone because I bought it and to be on the same launcher as my tablet.
Thanks,
Bob
UPDATE: just installed Apex and rebooted; no prompt for launcher app. Must be something with ADW. I'll have to shoot them an email.
Thanks for the help!
