Hi, thanks for reading.
Yesterday i flashed 5.1. Before (in KK), i had Apex launcher installed, but in lollipop i want to use the default (google now launcher). But, when LP restored my account settings, desktop and app vault looked like i had in KK. Apex style (but i didnt installed apex launcher in LP!).
So, now i dont know how to reset to default launcher settings, in order to have LP default style.
Help please, thanks!

You might want to update your Google app to the latest & make sure the Google Now Launcher standalone app is properly installed.

May have to do with Google syncing data. You could try removing your account from the phone and then trying the above mentioned things again.
Thank you very much to all, I finally discovered what was happening: google now launcher was NOT installed on the device... it didnt come installed by default and i did not realized. I'm an idiot!
Thank you all and sory for the time loss

Moved to general as not android development
are you rooted?
it sounds like your launcher program is not working. If this is the case you can try logging into your android market account on your computer and pushing ADW launcher to your ROOTED android phone.
I am not sure if this will work with a galaxy S device, but I had a similar problem with my rooted mytouch 3g. I installed a custom ROM that had an outdated version of launcher pro. Thus no home screen, and almost no way to get to my applications. I went onto android market and pushed the ADW launcher to my phone. It downloaded and installed, and voila, fixed the problem.
You can give it a try.
yes I'm rooted.
curious...
did my suggestion work? The one issue is that your interface will no longer look so much like touchwiz.
You might be able to find that original apk somewhere on xda or somewhere else, and then reinstall it.
ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro are both excellent alternatives to the stock launcher that comes with the phone.
Thanks Man! Here are the Instructions!

Thanks Deckard your idea worked! But TW launcher reinstall was unsucceful...I installed Tag Home Launcher and that went great! I had to:
1. Power off Phone.
2. Press Both "Up" And "Down" + The power Button to get to Recovery Menu.
3. Delete all User Data/ Yes
4. Reboot phone
5. On the Tutorial it showed me a link so i clicked it which opened the browser or one can press the search button and say "go to " google dot com"
6. once browser is open go to "market dot android dot com "or simply go to the market web page or simply google tag home launcher apk
7. install then complete the wizard. it will give you the option to select which launcher to use.
8. Done!
But for some reason i still cant use it.
i have to use the Tag Home. Is there anyway to delete TWLauncher?

2) Add apk shortcut to do homescreen via my files
2) Reboot the device
3) As soon as you see anything on screen rush it and install the apk asap.

I don't get package installer error I get package conflicts with a package with the same name

Where is the apk link ?
Or install another launcher like Nova launcher, make it the default launcher.
After that install the S8 launcher from within Nova launcher.
The S8 launcher and hello Bixby both install with no errors at all if you do this.
After that change the default launcher back to TouchWiz home then restart.
No need to put apps on the desktop and quickly install them after the restart.
If you then find you don't want to use Nova any more just uninstall it.
Job done.
still no work deodex>odex apk won't be installed for telecom.apk

Yeah that does not work either. I've been running Nova launcher prime and trying to install. PACKAGE CONFLICTS WITH ANOTHER WITH SAME NAME. Every time. Tried all the tricks.
nothing works with me either. Does somebody have any other solution for this? Many Thanks
I tried every trick but the installation still fails. Turned wifi off, tried offline mode, disabled every security check, using shortcut, wiping cache, used nova... I'm using the latest Nougat with April security updates. Maybe this is the reason? Does anyone have another solution? (no-root, no data wipe)

I had the same error of conflict with the packages, this happened to me when I update to the room of Uruguay with build date Mon, 17 Apr 2017 and security patch date 2017-04-01, what I did was to install all the S8 applications before putting my Google account and Samsung at the beginning after the factory reset, I had already installed some S8 applications without problem, and I had forgotten some of them, after that, I put my accounts from Google and Samsung from there I started to give error,I hope this help you, greetings from Mexico.

Thanks for the hint. But I don't fully understand, could you install the other apps after setting up the accounts by removing them again?

I wonder if it would work by simply removing your existing Google account temporarily, install some apps, then add the same Google account back in?
Also, this adb install command with some option switches supposed to bypass app version issues, so if somebody wants to try it, report back please.
It would either work or fail, but it won't break anything on the phone.
adb install -d -r -t AppName.apk
adb install doesn´t work

Agree latest Phone 2.3.01.26 apk version freezes, i reverted to this Phone 2.3.00.20 version.
Just go to sammobile and download it, it works too even the new latest touchwiz with scroll app drawer
its the same bro, just freezes....
I have the new contacts apk but the Phopne apk doesn´t shows Places tab...Only Contacts and Recent.
Contacts work but when you try to dial latest number (press call button twice) crashes
Do not instal Phone apk,it doesn't work,just contact apk.
It works.

Just install ES File Explorer, go from it to apps, system apps and select System Launcher, properties, it would take you to its settings, uninstall updates and you are good to go..
Just search the app in the setting and uninstall updates, will work for you.

Hello, I uninstalled POCO launcher through ADB, now my recent button isn't working. Reinstalling it fixed the issue
earlier, but is there a workaround to fix this? Without installing the launcher? Currently using Nova launcher.
The default POCO launcher freezes(6-7secs) with no icons but wallpaper when returning from other apps(not always but it's irritating). So I want to kick this rusty nut out completely.
Did you try to deactivate the poco launcher insteat of uninstalling?
How to deactivate? You mean? Disable?
Thought it should be: Settings=> Apps=> "Poco Launcher" => deactivate, i'm running AICP, so i can not tell you the exact way, but with AICP you can deactivate (because the launcher is a System App, System Apps are diffcult to uninstall, only with root ) AICP Launcher, and this should be able with stock, too
