EDIT btw i did read the WHOLE article in android development and didnt find anything on this issue thanks!

Haven't been able to get anything stuck, it always managets to drop the item wherever it was heading.
Picture?
If your using touchwiz launcher, you xan go to manage apps, and click on TWlauncher. Theres a button that says clear cache. Clear it - it will reset the launcher to default.

This should work. But are you saying it's stuck even if you re-boot the phone? If so that is really strange.
Or, you can try downloading a different launcher from the Market. I personally love Go Launcher Ex (with Honeycomb Theme--separate download from the market). Let's you multi-select apps for your homescreens which makes it quick and easy to set up.

I need help getting the stock moto launcher back on SCV5. I cant use it as a default period. I dont like downloading launchers and to be honest I actually like the moto launcher. Any help is appreciated. I tried setting the default launcher but the moto launcher cannot be set as default UNLESS I delete go launcher from my system/app folder but then it just messes my phone up....lol

Moto home fix works, though some use a more general app to set the default home like this.
Well home switcher does not work but that moto home fix may work. Lol. Ill look into it. Thanks

I'm not sure any of that works with a custom ROM. Isn't Moto Homescreen frozen? What does the "Setup" app in SCv5 do? Does that set all the stock Moto stuff free?

Set up basically sets up you're phone like the stock ROM BUT as soon as you hit the home button you're in go launcher permanently. No home switcher will set motto home as default...:!

Try adding another launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro THEN clear Go Launcher as default in application settings THEN try hitting the home button and choosing Moto as default launcher. No need for a home switcher app if you have more than one launcher installed.

Right now im on rebel ROM so havent actually tried it BUT in theory it should free up moto home on here too if its not deleted right?
Edit: just tried moto home fix on rebelrom and it showed 3 launchers, default, set up and sony home...
Default = not a motoblur device
Set up = force closes
Sony = launcher on rebel rom

Sorry I thought I remembered Moto Home Launcher showing up. "Setup" however does show up. I don't know what that does. I'm familiar enough with Moto Launcher to know what I like and I prefer ADW Launcher so I'm not even going to attempt to see what "Setup" does. I assume you've tried it. What does it do?
Set up basically lets you set up your phone like first setting up a stock ROM, then it takes you to the stock moto launcher, but after you hit the home button its gone. Lol. I figured it out tho. I moved my blurhome.apk to system/app and then cleared my launcher default and chose home as default and bam, I have an ics themed moto home. Its awesome
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Have you tried running "Setup" from the applications screen instead of the home launcher pop-up? Maybe running that will enable the launcher to be executed properly in the pop-up. Does that make sense?

Can't go wrong with WidgetLocker (it's worth it).
Went to the play store to get Widgetlocker and I get a message stating that my device is not compatible.

I'm running qqlauncher, not many themes or widgets, but you can get widgets else where.
Well any who, also comes with a very good lockscreen.

Go Locker is free and has a lot of themes available. I use it (I've even made a couple themes for the market...er..."play store"). And I think you may be able to use it without needing to have go launcher as your default home. As long as you set it up while using go launcher/ go locker, you might be able to switch to whatever other launcher you prefer. I may be mistaken since I haven't tried it myself (I use go launcher), but friends with samsung phones have tried it and can use it with other launchers.

I like that one too.
I like being able to change which shortcuts I have available and have more than 3 or 4. That's why I made my own that has 4 app shortcuts and the home unlock. If anyone wants to try it out and let me know what they think, it's free on the market here:

I think what you need to do is set the "Go Switch Widget" as a Device Administrator. Go to menu>settings>location & security>Select device administrators and then check the go switch widget.
The stock moto locker should not come up (except for when your phone boots up from a shutdown/restart). Let us know if that's what fixes it.
Also, just as a side note, make sure when you install a different theme for Go Locker that you do NOT hit "open" after the install. It will give you an error. After you install a theme, you just need to select it from the Go Locker menu. I've had a few friends complain that a new theme doesn't work, but it's because they didn't read the directions .
hmm..i can't find "Go Switch Widget" under device administrator.

You might need to download/install it then. The only reason I did is because it told me to. Strange that you didn't get the same message.
If you don't mind, try it out and report back.
Lock Screen Opinion
I would have to say Go Locker. Has a lot of themes IMO and if use the pin to get into the phone don't even have to type the enter key. I just want my phone unlocked faster.
found this cool lockscreen Active Lock Screen on play store.. its pretty neat, got loads of customisations for shortcuts and also a few themes..

This may just be a behaviour of Jelly-Bean. I spent today playing with a Nexus 7 and it does exactly the same thing; any new app I install automatically puts an icon on the launcher screen for me.
I didn't see any option to disable this, but didn't look particularly closely I have to admit.

It should auto open if you long press the menu button.
You can do this under CM 10. I am not sure if you are rooted and interested in using that ROM though.

Download an app from the Play Store called Home2 Shortcut. This will allow you to change the double click of the home button to use Google Now, or any other application that you want instead of S Voice.
I do that with my un-rooted Galaxy S3 i535. It's fantastic, just beware because Google Now doesn't play nice with your bluetooth headset is all.

I do the same with apex launcher. Works great, and is quicker than double tapping the home button.
