I installed Launcher Pro. I read that you can switch between launchers with a selection. I thought you could do it by press on screen, like when adding a widget, and it would be there. But it isn't.
I have searched through the settings, and can't seem to find it.
Any thoughts?

download home switcher from the market or go here
settings/applications/manage applications/select your home screen program
I dont have an android phone yet so someone correct me if i'm wrong ^^
You can download HomeSwitcher from the Market
Without a switcher, you can go into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/LauncherPro/Reset Defaults. Then next time you hit the Home button, it'll ask you again which one you want and if you want to set one as default again.

Cool, Thanks.
Uh, now how do you use it? So then I guess I just need to have an icon for it on the desktop.
I did think I saw somethign that brought up a list just by pressing on the screen. Maybe a different app, or settings. I'll continue to investigate that...but thanks again. I can do what I need!
What a great site this is. I hope to return the favor of helpful answers as time goes on.

Long press on the icon and you can change the shortcut options (which app to use, which icon to use, etc)
Whats the app need to be for the phone...
If I select "Phone" application... it doesnt' quite operate like the stock launcher...
When on a phone, the stock launcher when you click on the phone icon, goes to the dialer/call information... when you launch the phone application, it goes to the keypad but not the current call window...
you can get to the current call window by going to the status screen adn clicking on the little green phone during an active call though...
any ideas?

You can't use the "Samsung Widgets" outside of TouchWiz. Go to the market and search for clock widgets. There are dozens, free and otherwise.

Samsung, this is pathetic!
Wasted 2 hours of my life dealing with your stupidity.
heres the solution (problem was launcher pro):
1. grab the homeswitcher from market
2. set touchwiz crap as default.
3. reboot phone.
from then on, kies acts normally, phone gets detected normally etc etc etc.
thanks for wasting my time samsung.
edit: even after this i had probs, seems i need to reboot phone everytime i need to connect it. on first connect after fresh reboot it seems to work. goodluck. (very very very poor software as expected from samsung)
edit2: this is a bug fest! who coded this samsung? some student? jesus this soft is so bad it kills all the experience. what a piece of junk. barely works. flaky. buggy. samsung, fire your software team asap. they suck. only a true amateur can output this kind of garbage. this is below badly coded visualbasic garbage.

What's the action to execute TWlauncher ? (I mean the TouchWiz app-drawer)
I would mixup LauncherPro homes with TW horizontally scrolling apps
I wonder if there's a way to strip out the touchjizz widgets and use them in launcher pro or something, or make them available for any launcher replacement. I actually like the calendar clock widget.
I'll try picking touchjizz apart tomorrow at work if I get some extra time.

Google just posted on the android dev blog, a sdk preview for honeycomb is out!
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/01/android-30-platform-preview-and-updated.html
I'm downloading now to give it a go!
Just fired up the emulator. Its dog slow and its stuck in portrait mode on its side! Does anyone know how to get it into landscape mode?

Yeah, same here. Emulator is REALLY slow. I mean I expected it to be maybe a little slower than previous versions, but holy crap. My computer is by no means the best out there, but it certainly isn't slow. You can barely even tell what's going on when you do something.

Or Ctrl+F11 / Ctrl+F12
Yea I had to google search how to change orientation, with numlock OFF, numpad 7 or 9.
And yea the emulator is super super slow.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of widgets in there, or new apps etc.
I know honeycomb is meant to be 'built from the ground up' for tablets, but to me it just seems like a tablet themed front end (launcher and app drawer). I manged to crash the launcher and then I saw the standard android notification bar etc.
As a side note, if honeycomb is going to be released in a few weeks with the Xoom, maybe google is skipping gingerbread on the nexus 1 and going straight to honeycomb?

Its not going to work like that. Tablets are going 3.x route
and phones are going to stay 2.x
So the next phone release will be 2.4
I tried the usual emu shortcuts (Numpad 7 and 9, Ctrl F11 and F12) but they just switch the window orientation, not the Android UI. If the window goes into portrait mode its slightly too tall for my monitor (1920x1200 res). If the window is in landscape mode the UI remains in portrait so its sideways on (if you see what I mean).

And you got your Information from...?
Some Android guy confirmed, that Honeycomb isn't Tablet exclusive.
And it also says that 3.0 is specifically optimized for Tablets but NOT that it's Tablet-exclusive! http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0-highlights.html

According to the interview with Matias Duarte and Engadget, Honeycomb will be optimized for both phone and tablet sized hardware.
In the Engadget interview with the android UI guy, I can't remember exactly what he said, but he hinted that honeycomb is not exclusively for tablets, just what we have seen of it so far is.
I think the phone version of honeycomb will just be like the gingerbread UI with the new apis and features of honeycomb
It is stuck in portrait mode for me too. Ctrl-f11 switches the window layout but the android inside is still portrait...
Apparently you need to go into settings and turn off automatic orientation
Anyone having luck with getting it to run?
So how long before we see the camera app extracted and running on our phones?
Emulator is horrendesly slow. I know it's a preview sdk but urg...
The launcher keeps crashing for me, it worked one but wanted to change resolution so closed it
I think the launcher only works at the default resolution.
I changed the scale when you launch the avd to fit it on my screen

Okay, for a bit of background information I among many others have a Galaxy S6 and am currently experiencing a crippled hotword detection from Ok Google.
It only works in the app and where the widget is on a home screen. It does not work when it is off or in a different APP.
I am hoping someone who is rooted and has the same problem can temporarily adjust their build prop under the model and change it to Nexus 5 or SM-N910F and see if that restores the functionality of the google hotword detections under the settings.
When you go to the google search application, go to settings, click on voice, click on "Ok Google" detection, there should be multiple options here, not just "From the Google App". A reboot and maybe even a re-install of the google search apk may be required to properly test this. Either way, let me know. Thank you.

Apparently its been disabled.... If you use Nova launcher it will work from any home screen but it no longer works from any app... Which is a bummer... Used it all the time

Thanks for your reply, but it seems as though you didn't read what I wrote.
I know that it has been disabled. I believe an actual work around may be to modify the build prop as other phones are still functional.
Nova Launcher and the Google Now launcher allow you to use the hotword detection from any home screen, but they do not work in apps or when the screen is off, which is the key here.
So this morning I noticed that 8.0 is available for my device, single SIM XZ Premium. So I immediately upgraded.
After testing things out, I found out that there is no way to get notification dots and PiP to work.
As for the dots, the dot does appear on the App icon. However long pressing the icon doesn't bring up any notifications. I only get the standard delete and app info options. And for certain apps the quick launch functions, such as New Tab for Chrome etc. I can't get notification dots to work. I made sure I didn't disable it accidentally, as it took me a couple of hours to comprehend what the hell notification channels are, and what Notification dots are called in my language (hungarian).
But no, I have it enabled on a system level, and on an app by app level as well. For the apps I've tested. Messenger, Viber, some misc. apps I use. I've read that on Pixel phones, only the stock launcher supports the dots. Is it possible somehow the Xperia stock launcher didn't get support? Would be a major oversight, but I mean it is possible.
Also PiP doesn't work either. I checked, and it is enabled for all my apps that support it. Tried it with Netflix, Chrome playing full screen video, VLC player. For VLC you have to also enable an in app setting, but it still doesn't work with any of them. I can't try with YouTube since my country still doesn't have Red. Also I heard the Google Maps app is still rolling out pip in updates, so I didn't bother with that either.
Is this an issue for anyone else too, or am I missing something?
So far I'm enjoying Oreo, my phone became super fast, which shocked me, as I didn't expect this much of a speed difference. Animations look a lot smoother. And I'm really starting to dig this new notification channel thing. Really helps me customize all my different app notifications.
I have only been able to get pip working with google maps and chrome when playing a video, but I had to try it twice for chrome to actually do it, since then it has been working without issue though. For notifications I have the same thing where the quick options show up but not the notification, to view the notifications I still have to pull down the notification bar. I tried netflix and youtube but pip refused to work, it just kept going to the homescreen, I haven't tried vlc.
I will also say that I am enjoying Oreo and how much faster the phone is, it shocked me as well because it really is significantly snappier when jumping between apps or going back to the homescreen and opening something new. I have also actually started using the google assistant and some of the features it provides.
Just install internet beta from Samsung... And you have picture in picture...

Interesting. I've tried out Maps just now and it indeed does work. I don't know what's the problem with the other apps then...
Notification dots still don't work though. Also I haven't been able to use the instant apps either. The option never comes up. Wish shopping app supposedly has an instant app version, but no matter what, I can't use it in instant version, Only full install.
Also adaptive icons aren't that adaptive, as the stock Xperia launcher has no option to choose which icon variation I want to use (square, round, teardrop etc)
I also haven't been able to figure out how to use the Autofill framework, which would give me the same options for autofill within the OS as I get with Chrome on web forms.
These features seem to be just straight up missing, or I don't know where to find them.

I went to a gaming site that I knew had videos, once there I started playing a video in full screen and then double tapped the home button and it put the video in pip mode. Maybe it only works with certain websites or online video players? I will try a couple other sites and see if they all work or not.

That's what we're saying, we can't get pip to work with youtube, netflix, or vlc. I really want to use pip mostly for youtube and netflix, so until I am able to do that I really don't care that much about this feature.
You can still move or delete apps in the menu, but you can now decide what press + hold on an app does when going to the settings of the app folder/launcher.
Update
I have downloaded Nova launcher and Lawnchair launchers, and neither seems to support the Oreo features, but instead it seems they have their own implementation of app shortcuts and badges.
So the problem has to be with the Xperia Home launcher.

Youtube currently blocked the workaround with the 'window' keycode. however there's OG Youtube - it's a modded youtube which has a recent youtube version as base. It has PiP, background playback and an option to download the video. Although the PiP is what i'm looking for. So far there are no downsides. You need to get XDA labs which has a pretty cool repo.

PIP works with VLC. Enable background playback in VLC settings . Only thing is it doesn't work like chrome where you just have to press the home button. In this case you have to select PIP mode(bottom left option in the attached screen shot) before you switch to any other app.
You need youtube red subscription for pip.
1. PiP works fine. Though you need a red subscription for Youtube in order for it to work with Youtube.
2. Instant apps work fine for me. There was this tetris game I was able to play without installing.
3. Autofill works fine too.
4. Long tapping the app icon doesn't seem to bring up notifications. Disappointing, since I was really looking forward to that feature.

There are plenty of features that are not here..... Another obvious example is the xperia dialer app. which is on the same 3.0.0 version as it was in August and looks nothing like it's advert.
It's more of a marketing thing. Look here! Look here! Shiny!Yet I believe most of those presented features will arrive at some point in time under Oreo and that's why they were presented - not as a done thing but more of a 'soon to arrive'. FYI notification dots are still not available on the beta release. Hopefully more updates will come.... sometime.... maybe spring next year? :laugh:
Didn't know PiP required YouTube red, useless, it's like YouTube is trying to destroy itself with everything they do recently.
It seems like we are in a full beta test, and would go on until oreo 8.1 would be released.... It's astonishing Google Pixel and Pixel 2 have a lot of problems and bugs with oreo update XD

No just downloaded and sideloaded OTA and it updates without wipe. The only new features I don't see implemented is the new gesture system, it is still using pill style from Android P.

Anyone's check VoLTE after flashing 10.0 ??
No volte for me, (f*ck!)
just a note, cts is broken in q beta. you wont be able to use any safetynet apps like google pay or pokemon go or some banking apps.
It's here but not the most stable. Some apps and games don't work. Pixel Launcher crashes in startup, a few launchers I've tried don't work at the moment.
Working fine here. No app problems or crashes yet (but I'm only a few hours in).
My thoughts:
"Full gestural navigation" is difficult to use. The pill is too small to grab, and it makes app switching difficult.
Sometimes the nav bar comes back when full gesture is on (in the keyboard, for example). Pressing the back button will click on both the back button *and* whatever was behind it (an app in the launcher, for example)
2-button navigation (like Pie) works as it always has.
The app switcher draws below third-party launchers like Nova and Action Launcher. After about 1 second, the launcher disappears and the app switcher is accessible. Makes for a very buggy experience. I assume this is to allow launchers to perform an animation during the transition, which simply isn't implemented yet.
Dismissing notifications can only be done by swiping right now. Swiping left sets the preferences for notifications from that app.
How do you enable full-screen navigation? I am not seeing that option under settings.

Just wanted to mention, you don't have to initiate the gesture from the pill, whether you're swiping up to go home or swiping right to switch apps, you can do it from anywhere on the "navbar" for lack of a better term.
Edit: For the full gesture system.

This is a second phone for me and when I saw the new beta 3 phone list I turned it on and downloaded the app., approximately 9am Eastern. I hadn't used the phone in 3-4 months so there was a waiting notice to upgrade to the lastest Android 9 security patch. I hoped it would ignore it and go on to Q but of course no luck. The security update ran ok but no Q so far?? Don't have a sim in it presently, hope that doesn't stop the Q update over Wifi.

FYI I had several apps crashing: Gmail, Outlook, Amazon Prime Video, and Amazon Shopping.
The fix was mentioned on Reddit but if you have opted into the beta for the Android System Webview you need to opt out of its beta in the Play Store, then disable and reenable Android System Webview.
So any apps that rely on Webview can probably be fixed that way
