Hello,
I read through most of the posts concerning custom launchers but still can't find an answer to my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S running on Froyo. I am trying to set GoLauncher as my default launcher but there seems to be a hickup somewhere.
When I hit the home button a window always pops up asking me which launcher I want to use (TW or Go) and I always tick the box underneath to use as default and then select GoLauncher but the window keeps popping up again every time I press the home key.
I also tried to clear the defaults in both TW and Go Launcher but the buttons are grayed out...so I guess the phone does not store my default choice.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies.
I tried market enabler, no effect whatsoever.
Reinstalling GoLauncher just made me lose all my folders

Don't worry about it...took me 15min to reorganize them. It was worth the time for the chance of fixing the problem.

I have the same problem using htc desire z running froyo 2.3.. not rooted.
Have tried re installing. Tried home switcher. tried other launcher than go launcher ex. Problem still persists..
If anyone has made it work for them. Please share what to do.
Thx
Well.. for me the problem was with the 3D camera app.. for some reason it showed up on the bottom of the list of launcher.. unistalled and presto.. no constant settings launcher as default
Via HTC Desire Z
Have tried everything in this post and none have worked for very long.
I am going to try seeing if the Estrongs "Suite" is installed and causing a problem, but I definitely know this isn't a launcher problem as this happens with several different launchers...I thought it was a HTC Sense issue, but I have now seen (I think) a couple of posts from a Samsung device.
I have the Thunderbolt and since the 2.3.4 update, I have had the same problem. I have read several posts, but no real solution. The Homesmack didn't work. This Really sounds like an HTC issue, but I am still trying to read more posts.
Did you try doing a battery pull? Or going into settings and clearing the stock launchers data and cache?

Solution
I have Samsung Galaxy S2 -
Applications - Manage Applications - [All] - TWLauncher - Clear Defaults
I think there's also an App called "Launcher" but look for anything with the word "Launcher" in it and clear the defaults
Or try installing "Go Locker" and it'll ask you again which one you want your default to be
Hello, I Just bought a used Galaxy S2 Skyrocket that the previous owner rooted. It was getting a lot of "not responding" messages for various things (mostly touchwiz) so I wanted to do a restore. I booted into CWM and ran the "wipe data/factory reset". I have read that doing so won't mess with the root and will only restore the data and settings.
After doing that I am faced with all kinds of problems. Mainly "com.android.phone errors" and most things stop responding. The top status bar won't even show up and the settings are no where to be found.
Okay, so I was just going to follow this guide here and start on page 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659
Now my problem is when it says,
"MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE SUPERUSER OR BUSYBOX APPS INSTALLED
UNINSTALL BOTH FROM SETTINGS/APPLICATION/ALL MENU [/B](if unistalling is not available use disable and restart phone to recovery to flash the SU file before proceeding.)"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't remove superuser because there is no way to get into Settings. If I push the left menu button at the home screen there is an option for settings but it will hang for a bit and then say "touchwiz home has stopped". I thought I may be able to remove it from the play store but I can't even log into play store (it says Google account manager has stopped).
So I can't uninstall it or disable it. Should I continue with the guide even though superuser is still on the phone? What else are my options?
If you can get into CWM, I would just download and flash another ROM (with all recommended wipes). You will be starting clean and have root after install. The instructions for doing so are in the first post for each ROM. CM9 and Sky ICS are the most popular choices.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Okay thanks! I went ahead and flashed SKY-ICS 4.2F6-2.2 without any issues. Just wanted to make sure that still having superuser installed wasn't going to be a serious issue.
Now I am trying to figure out what the best radio to use would be. I narrowed it down to 4 different ones but their performance all seem so similar. Is there any kind of benchmark I can run to test different radios/modems?
Also what is the difference between non crysis and crysis add ons? I can't seem to find any info on this. I want to remove the battery bar that came with the rom but not sure if I should run "Stock Battery" or "CrStock Battery"
There is an app to turn off the white battery line. Crysis is a cool theme so you should check those out. Radios are trial and evaluation only. I benchmark with a call to my wife. She is getting good at evaluating call quality...lol.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Okay I found the app for it, lol. My phone had it before and I could simply uninstall it but it seems like it's built into this ROM I have now. Was confused that it wouldn't let me uninstall it like I did before.
I'm not so big on changing themes. I like the one the ROM came with. So the crysis theme needs specific add ons just for it? I guess I will just get non-crysis add ons.
Wish there was an easier way to pick radios. Pay-as-you-go adds up fast so I try to avoid unnecessary calls.
Crisis is only the status bar theme. So wifi, signal, BT icons at the top of screen. Nothing more. You can flash stock over it if you don't like it. Come to think of it, one of the Sky ICS threads has screen shots of each mod. They look the same for all versions of Sky ICS, but you must use the mod from the same version of ROM you are using. Glad your squared away.

Android 4.2 introduced lockscreen widgets, which allow you to glance at your widgets without unlocking your device, even when it's secure.
Samsung decided to rip this apart, and disable widgets if the device is secured.
This mod fixes that, all while enabling a secure camera on the lockscreen when swiping right (Gallery button won't be shown).
Compatibility:
This mod should work on all TouchWiz 4.2 ROMs, unless Samsung decides to break it later on.
Tested and/or reported working on:
Samsung Galaxy S4
Samsung Galaxy S3 with 4.2.2 leak
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with 4.3 leak
Source:
The mod is open source, and licensed under GPLv3: https://github.com/MohammadAG/Xposed-Samsung-Multiple-Widgets
Download:
http://dl-count.xposed.info/modules/com.mohammadag.multiplewidgets_v5_a98dbe.apk
Changelog:
[1.6]
Added settings activity to select whether or not to force a camera widget (Note 3 users, you'll need to check this)
[1.5]
Support for 4.3, tested on the Galaxy Note 2, will most probably work on the Note 3.
Force the camera widget to appear, this should help S3 owners, as well as any user with a 4.3 device that doesn't have Samsung's shiny new camera.
[1.1]
Widgets can now be edited in secure mode.
You can now toggle between Favorite Shortcuts and Secure Camera in Lockscreen Settings (stock Settings app).
[1.0]
Initial release.

You have Xposed framework installed right? If so, try turning off security, and checking if multiple widgets are enabled in settings then turning it back on.

As noted above, you have to have the exposed framework app installed, and then need to go into the Xposed installer and enable the module as well.
The Xposed framework app is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1957219&d=1368387321
Framework thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
I have had one glitch so far - I wake up phone and swipe to the left on the lock screen to enable the camera, and the screen goes to the intermediate grey screen showing the camera icon and then the screen goes all black and the camera doesn't open, even if I wait 15 seconds or longer.
I then hit home and swipe left again and the grey screen w/the camera icon appears and the camera opens as it should.
Can others report if they are seeing this? Mohammed - any suggestions?

I'd say the glitch is because of Samsung's own camera code, I got a similar thing where the camera opened and threw me back to the lockscreen. In any case my code just disables their Easy Mode implementation.
My previous tweak shouldn't do anything actually, the old camera was SamsungCamera, this one is SamsungCamera2, so my mod won't find anything to mod.

Thanks, Mohammad. I've only seen it "get stuck" launching the camera a couple more times, and I've learned that if I don't see it transition from the camera icon to the camera screen within a short period of time, to just hit home and swipe again and it always works the second time.
So maybe there is some race condition (maybe not quite the right term) when the phone is first waking up on the lock screen and I swipe to the camera, and when I go back to the lock screen and swipe to the camera again the phone is now ready to launch the camera.
In any case, this solves the one remaining issue I had w/staying on stock/rooted TW for now (aside from fast USB charging), so I'm quite happy! I've been running CM pretty much exclusively on my phones since my OG Droid years ago, but I'm going to stay w/the stock TW ROM for now until I decide how badly I want to have access to the TW features that I'll lose if I go AOSP. Then I can decide if I want AOSP, modified TW, or stock.
No Dice!!!

I've read this entire thread fully and am running a Samsung Galaxy S4 on AT&T SGH-I337 running Andoird 4.2.2 on baseband I337UCUAMDL and kernel 3.4.0-453947. I rooted using Motochopper and have TWRP recovery installed. I was able to successfully install the XDA Framework and download this mod and enable it. This is what I am experiencing:
1. With no passcode lock at all, I am able to swipe from right to left and see a bunch of shortcuts. I am also able to swipe from left to right and add widgets.
2. With a passcode added and no 'secure email account' attached to my device, I am still able to swipe from right to left to see shortcuts and from left to right to see widgets.
3. However, once I setup my work email MS Exchange, which does require a passcode lock, the mod only partially works. I am still able to swipe from right to left to see the shortcuts (although to access anything I still must enter my code). But I am not completely unable to swipe from left to right to see the widgets.
I was using Nova Launcher and thought this was the problem. But even after completely removing Nova Launcher and going back to the stock TouchWiz - same problem.
Any ideas???

Seeing only a page of shortcuts, not a baddass secure camera
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 with CleanROM 1.6.5 and no other mods. I have the Google Apps Device Policy installed and active which I have configured (as I'm the Google Apps Admin) to allow lock screen widgets.
I downloaded and installed the XPosed framework from here with ES File Manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1970286&d=1368825478 and rebooted.
I installed the Multiple Widgets apk from here http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/GalaxyS4MultipleWidgets.apk and installed it with ES File Manager then enabled the Widget in the XPosed framework and rebooted.
When I swipe to the left I get a + which enables me to use very useful full-screen widgets such as calendar (from my Simple Calendar app) messaging, Google Now etc.
When I swipe to the right all I get is a page of shortcuts which all require my pin to access. Help I am dying to get a slick Secure Camera shortcut!
EDIT: I figured it out!! Instructions for anyone else with the same problem I was having.
You have to disable the Google Apps Device Policy, you're going to have to remove your account that requires it.
Touch Settings/My Device/Lock Screen/Screen Lock/Swipe
Touch Lock Screen Widgets/Favorite Apps or Camera/Camera/Save
Touch Back/Screen Lock then choose your security type
Then go back in and add your corporate account that requires the Google Apps Device Policy and away you go.

Oh yeah, I think I've seen someone report that about Final Fantasy. I think rovo89 mentioned that the only fix would be to disable the mod while playing the game.
Honestly I'd complain ti Square Enix, this is one of those DRM methods that only harms the user.

Hey all. I've noticed since installing 5.0 on my Nexus 5, I can no longer install non-market apps such as the Amazon App Store, T-Mobile VVM, etc. Now, before I get a slew of replies about ticking the "install non-market apps" button, I've done that already. I've even factory reset the phone. When I try to install them, it's like the install button is unresponsive. Is anybody else having this problem? I could really use some help here, as I've lost Swiftkey, Swype, and a number of other apps due to this problem. Thanks in advance.
What are you using to download the apps? Have you tried clearing the cache in the package installer app? I can install my non market apps. So not a lollipop wide issue...but then there looks to be lots of issues that are only affecting some users so who knows.

Are you using some kind of screen dimmer app? Those apps use an overlay that interferes with the install button.

Exactly the same.
No issues with KK and unknown sources etc are allowed and yet with a root permission file manager etc I can no longer install apps. For example even Whatsapp PLUS when it updates and downloads a new version will start of the installation routine but I get as far as selecting install or cancel and the install button in not selectable. Manu ally installing the apk will result in the same thing happening.
Vanilla clean install of Lollipop and fully rooted and working. Rebooted etc still the same.
But take a look at....
