Hello all. I have an HTC Inspire running CM7 stable. I've installed Go Locker from the market just so I could customize my lock screen a little more. I currently use Go Launcher and Go SMS, so I thought I'd just consolidate with Go Locker. In the settings for Go Locker, it shows Wallpaper as an option. When I choose Launcher background as the option and test the lock screen, I'm getting nothing. Just a black screen as if the phone is off. I have to hit the power button on the top of my phone multiple times to actually get anything on the screen. When it finally does show up, I see an overlay of the lock screen on top of my home screen. Choosing default background or Custom background works fine within the options. Any ideas here?

Is there a way for LauncherPro to snap back to the "center" home screen after a lock? It's leaving off where I left it and I'd really like to always land on my normal home screen. TIA.
should be fixed by going into settting and setting the default page to center or what ever number page is your center..
Maybe you can try the Launcher Pro forum

Same Question I had
That was the same question I had after the new update. As in we got optical scrolling so how about being able to push the optical d pad for home screen!
You can do this with WidgetLocker. It is a paid app, but I have it and like it a lot.
I have WidgetLocker, really like it a lot and did exactly what I'm looking for (pre-LauncherPro).
Example... if I'm on my middle home screen and swipe left, hit an icon for, say, Handcent, open a text message and type away. I then lock my screen, come back to it later and unlock. It will take me to the left screen that I left off from. If I hit the Handcent icon it will take me back into the message that I left off in.
Before I put LauncherPro on my screen I would have done the above actions but the result would be that when I unlock my phone it would always snap back to the center home screen and if I open Handcent it would always open to my list of conversations, not inside the one I left off in.
I realize both small, but I'm trying to figure out if LauncherPro is worth having as a result.
Thanks.
I notice this too. Swipe to the right, play Angry Birds for a while then hit the Home button to go back home and it takes you to the page you left, not the "Default Screen".
The "Home Key Action" setting doesn't have anything to tell it go back to the default screen, so maybe we're outta luck.
So, I like the fact that KitKat now allows you to create any number of home screens. However, I'm used to the center one being my main home screen (the one that I end up on if I keep tapping the home button). Now, with KitKat, the left-most screen is the main screen. This makes it difficult to properly center wallpapers, and it also means that I can't have a setup where I swipe left to get to certain app shorcuts and widgets and right to get to others, as swiping left from the main home screen always goes to Google Now.
Is there any way in KitKat to designate a different screen as my main home screen? I'm pretty sure I've seen this option before (though it may have been in a custom ROM or custom launcher). I know I could just install Nova or some other custom launcher (and I probably will eventually), but I'd like to stick with a mostly stock 4.4 setup for now.
Unfortunately, the stock launcher does not allow you to set a default home screen. Pretty disappointing. Gonna have to use a custom launcher for now.
This has been driving me batty for months. I note [email protected] is a senior XDA member so I'm hopeful I'll find a solution here.
I'm running Android 5.0.1 on an HTC One (M8). I've had Nova Prime launcher as default for a couple years and love it, but I cannot find the magic formula for designating my primary homescreen (the one with my clock app and primary app icons--there are two screens to the left; three to the right of this screen) as default. when I tap home twice and get all homescreens in view, there are white house icons above every screen EXCEPT the one I want as default, which shows a black house icon. When I want to go to the homescreen, any of the six may come up when home is tapped.
What I'm trying to do is set my chosen homescreen as default so it pops up whenever I tap home. Not sure if it could be a factor, but I'm also using the Next lockscreen widget as well.
It used to be pretty simple to designate the default homescreen, but either it's become more complicated (or I've gotten stupider)
Any help out there?
Thanks
Go into the home screen overview, then tap and hold the home icon of the screen you want to be your default. That icon should turn white and become the default screen.
Thanks, Scottjb
This is what I find bizarre--what you've suggested only seems to work in reverse: 5 of my homescreen icons are white houses--if I tap and hold on one of those it turns black, however if I tap and hold the black house on the screen I want to designate, absolutely nothing happens. Confused here!
Hi. I'm new to Nova Launcher. I have a Samsung phone and I'm using Nova to replace "Samsung Home Experience" which I guess used to be Touchwiz. One of the things I don't like about the Samsung Launcher is that my home screen is sensitive to long presses to the very edges of the screen. I can't disable that. So it's easy to long press by accident at the edges of the screen with your hand when holding the phone. When you do, the home screen switcher mode is activated. Then you have to press screen to bring home screen back to top. Annoying.
One of the the reasons I became interested in Nova launcher is because you can lock the home screen. So I did that. However, whenever a long press takes place on the home screen, a message stating the screen has been locked pops up... Can I disable this notification since I know that the screen is locked since I set it this way? This way my hand won't set off the notification, just like it did with the home screen switcher? Thanks.

How in the world can I change this image? Every app is only allowing me to change the home screen.
While I use Nova as my launcher...I believe it's the same for the default launcher...long press on the home screen, choose wallpaper, select the one you want and make sure it is used for both lock screen and home screen.
With the Home Launcher when you press on the home screen and select wallpaper, the image of your home screen appears above the selections but if you swipe slightly to the right the lock screen will appear and you will be able to change that one separately
Thanks!! I never realized the swipe was there.
