I've been trying to use the Google Now Launcher but every time I install it I can't set it to default. It won't even show as an option when it asks which one to choose. Only Touchwiz & Touchwiz Easy appear. Any solutions?
Go into
settings
Applications
Default applications
Home
Choose the 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
i.e private message
Hi guys I set up my wife's s6 and while trying to use helium backup to restore done apps without rooting her phone. I restored the icons to the new phone and now it won't stop force closing. I installed a third party app. But she really wants touchwiz back because of the widgets.
The help I need is,
Is there a way to reinstall the app?
I've tried with one I found online but it won't install because it won't overide a system app. I didn't know if there was a way to force it and if someone could post am apk of the launcher to try that one also.
Thanks,
Try going into app manager in setting and find the app launcher you installed. Click on it and to go to app info and click the button that says clear defaults. Once it does press the home button and it should ask which launcher you want as default.
what launcher did you have? i dont think touchwiz gets "uninstalled"
like in nova > settings > select default home
Yes I know all that. But touchwiz force closes so it won't let me use it. I have Nova as a backup
So you were restoring apps using Helium Backup and it restored an icon pack? Can't you delete the icon pack?
hi guys,
i have nexus 5 with 6.0.1 android version, with this new version of android, the apps menu scrolling down or up, i want to change it by sliding right or left, thanks
it's impossible ?
Using the stock launcher, I'm not sure if it's possible or not. However, using a third party launcher like nova or go will allow you to change the app drawer behavior, among many other settings.
About to pick up my P9 (yay!)
Are you guys sticking with EMUI or using a custom Launcher?
I'm currently rocking a Nexus 6 and love stock Android so am thinking of going with Google Now Launcher.
What do you lot use?
I'm sticking with EMUIs launcher as I like it and that it allows me to hide any annoying bloat apps that I cant uninstall as I don't wish to void warranty yet to remove them. I like googles launcher but all the apps will be shown.
To change default launcher when you get your phone:
1. settings
2. apps
3. advanced
4. default app settings
5. launcher
6. select google launcher to change
Personally its up to you to decide whether you like EMUI and want to keep using its' launcher or whether to replace it.
Thanks.
I've already started using Google Now. I agre, it is annoying that I can't yet remove the Huawei apps I don't want but I guess for now I can deal with that.
EMUI is nice but coming from my Nexus 6 I just want that stock feel. Haven't removed the squared/rounded app icon edges yet.
So far though LOVING this device.
I prefer Google now. I ran into a problem with it though with regards to icons not changing if I selected a new theme.
To override this go to settings > apps > Google app > storage > manage space > clear launcher data will allow the icons to be changed as clearing data/cache of Google now launcher did not seem to do the trick.
I've gone back to EMUI.
I noticed (maybe you can test this too) that when listening to music through my headphones, if I pressed the home button (or tapped on any icons) the music would skip and it ALWAYS did it.
It doesn't do it when using EMUI as the launcher.
I'm using Nova as it get's close to the stock Google Now launcher but still have personnalisation options like gestures, etc
hi ,
I have packaged two launchers in my source code. Launcher 2 and nova launcher.
I want only Launcher to be default and i change the launcher setting through my app when device is fully booted.
However home selection for the launcher shows up everytime.
Not sure how to fix this?
ResolveActivity.java is the one which shows option to launch.
Can you help me?
