You must uninstall and re-install launcher pro.

You don't have to reinstall launcher pro. You can download an app called Home Switcher from the market. Its free

yes i have home switcher and it does not fix this problem. still everytime i press home (bottom row below the samsung). I should also note this is a froyo phone.

I have a question regarding LauncherPro also. To be safe, should I disable it, or uninstall it, before updating to JF7? I just got my new phone few days ago and still on JF6..

I switched mine to twlauncher just to be sure.

corrected by starting phone in recovery starting with vol buttons pressed and then deleted user data. had to set up phone again but oh well

technut963,
If this happens to you again, in Froyo all you have to do is click settings, applications, manage applications, on the top bar click All, then go down and click TwLauncher, then clear default. Then hit the home button and you should be asked what one you want to use and set it as default again.

I simply setup a shortcut that links to Activities -> TwLauncher and one for LauncherPro on the phone. As for adjusting the default see above.

[Q] Help with ADW Launcher Long press Homescreen icons

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

Go Launcher EX

I've heard alot about this app and finally decided to try it out. I have a few questions that need answering:
Is there anyway to import my home screen (apps and widgets) setup into it? I tried Desk Migrate but it didn't work.
How do I change the Home button's action to go to Go Launcher EX? When I press it the screen just fades, even after I cleared the defaults for Launcher.
Why does the Browser screen fade? When I try using it the screen fades, so I have to use another browser (maybe connected to the Home button problem?)
Thanks for any help.

Launcher Problem

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

[Q] Nexus S doesn't switch do homescreen

Hi!
My Nexus S sometimes doesn't react to the home-button correctly. Anyway, I don't think this is a hardware-bug, because the haptic feedback works! I touch the home-softkay and feel the haptic feedback, but nothing happens. I can repeat it, it stays the same. When I long-press it, the recent apps appear. After that I can return to the homescreen. Or I can touch the screen and tap home again - then it will work, too. Another way is tapping home several times, until it finally works.
And like I said: It's not the button, haptic feedback appears!
Anyone else with this issue?
Greetings

Never happened to me. Which launcher do you use?

Stock Launcher. First I used CM7 with Go Launcher, but then thought it was something with CM7, so I switched back to stock 2.3.6 with stock launcher.
Seems to me like it doesn't happen that often anymore, but sometimes it still does...
