Or you can just reinstall Nova Launcher, then press home, android will show a window to select default launcher.

Launcher Pro

Maybe I am dumb, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I downloaded and installed launcher pro. When I hit the home button, I accidentally chose the regular launcher as default. Now, even when i go into home switcher and choose launcher pro as default, when I bit the home button it defaults to stock. How can I change that? Thanks.

Have seen the same thing before. Simplest thing is don't use home switcher. I don't think it works very well. One way to fix it is to uninstall launcherpro and then reinstall. Then hit the home button and check the little box at the bottom before you pick launcherpro.
Thanks man. I ended up downloading Home Switcher for Froyo and it did the trick. I noticed that in the default home switcher, there is a check box to enable the ad blocker. I never seen that before.
Change from launcher proback to default launcher:
Go settings > applications > downloaded applications. Select launcher pro and clear default settings(last option). When you hit home again show ask which launcher. Select default then click the one you want.
Change from default to launcher pro:
Go to system applications, look for "launcher" and clear defaults if this is the current launcher.

if that ever happens again you can go to settings>applications >manage applications >launcher(or launcher pro depending on which one you want to take off)>clear defaults

Change lockscreen icons?

I have a set of ADW icons activated on my HOX, but the lockscreen shows the stock icons. Is there any way to change to them?

Lockscreen shortcuts follow the the shortcuts set in the Sense launcher
So there's no way to change them?

Go back to the Sense launcher and change your shortcuts.
Either
Clear defaults for ADW so you can choose the Sense launcher when you hit the home button
or
Use the ADW setting to set the Sense launcher as the default launcher (can't remember what the setting was called)
Might need to clear defaults for the Sense launcher so you can set ADW as the default launcher once you're done
Thanks very much!

[Q] How to set a theme as default in custom launcher

I have set nova launcher as the default launcher of my rom. I have also included a theme and i want it to be set as default, i.e when the rom is flashed,the the will already be set. How can I do that?
With Nova you have to do it one icon at a time at the moment. Long press the icon, press edit, tap the picture, then select ADW Icon pack.
hope this helps.
if not working pls tell me

open app drawer from any screen with nova launcher

With two apps : vivid gesture and nova launcher, you can open nova's custom app drawer from any screen. Just set the gesture "swipe up and hold" to "shortcut" "nova action" "open app drawer". It work from any screen. No need to go to the home screen each time to open the app drawer.
Interesting.

Go into the Nova settings, up the top should be the option to make it your default launcher.

not working. it opens Home screen default page where I cannot select Nova
Won't work - this phone is seriously locked down. You can try to force the launcher off using adb (look it up if you don't know what it is), but didn't work for me.
