Android Launcher - General Questions and Answers

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?

Launcher pro FC on shortcut changes

I got launcher pro installed as a system app with proper permissions and it runs fine.
Only problem is that if you try to change the dock shortcut or add an application shortcut via the widgets menu, it will FC.
Any one get LP working 100%, am i missing some libraries or a different install procedure?
Any one having these problems with other launchers? ADW?
I am having the same problem with ADW Launcher
Same problem with LauncherPro on rooted Nook Tablet. Can add widgets with no problem, but selecting "Shortcuts" immediately brings up error window. This pretty much makes the launcher app worthless.

[LOLIPOP] "Tile Icon Maker" alternatives

Hi!
On KK roms I've been using app "Tile icon Maker" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tileiconmaker), where I had more than 20 widgets placed on nova Launcher homescreen... and it looked beautiful.
then I installed CrDroid 5.02, I can make the same look, but after some time Nova Launcher starts to report errors that widgets stopped working. So I had to delete the widgets/tiles and deinstall the app. It looks like some kind of memory problem?
The app itself is no longer supported.
Does anyone know of a similar app?
I don't want to migrate to some of the available W7 launchers, because Nova is the best.

change desktop grid from default 5x4 to 6x5 + Nova Launcher

I own a Huawei Mate 7, with 64GB , purchased in China, I rooted it.
Model HUAWEI MT7-TL10.
I kept the original EMUI 3.0
1.
Does anybody know how to change desktop grid from default 5x4 to 6x5?
2.
I installed Nova Launcher and Nova Settings >but the Nova launcher is not retained. At each reboot the original EMUI takes over. Does anybody know how to make Nova Launcher the default launcher and makes it stable, retain after reboot?
Google New Launcher does not work either. It cannot even launch
Thank you
Saulo
Additionally I would like to install the new Lollipop ROM, but run the Chinese version, and I am afraid I will loose both root and GAPPS if I upgrade to the suggested ROM from within the phone itself....
2.
Do I need the new TWRP? Or a special ROM?
Thanks
Saulo
I cannot find the item in settings to change the icon number. Vertically and Horizontally
I could not even find under "themes"
Any ideas?
settings -> manage apps -> default apps (it's on button) -> launcher (here u select nova launcher)
i think i could work...

Nova Launcher "add to home screen" function not working

Hi all,
I'm on a Honor 6 L04 with EMUI 4.0 (B860).
My Nova launcher is supposed to add new apps to the homescreen (option is checked) but they only appear on the Huawei launcher. Also if an app tries to add widgets on the homescreen (like chrome or the Google app) it only shows up on the stock launcher.
Does anyone observe the same behavior? What permission does Nova launcher need to have access to the new homescreen widgets?
Thanks, Julian
PS: it works correctly on my tablet with CyanogenMod, so I assume it's an EMUI problem

Transparent Google Now Feed

Hey guys,now i really wanted the transparent google feed on nova launcher and i discovered a wierd way to do it but it's not permanent so hear it is :
1. Install pixel launcher and set it to default launcher
2. Install nova google companion app
3. Open nova launcher from pixel launcher
4. Swipe to left and it appears transparent but as long as you have pixel launcher as default launcher
So is there is a way to get while keeping nova launcher default or what ?
(Btw : I didn't test the above test on any other device so i don't know if it works on other devices)
I've tried almost anything I thought of, unfortunately couldn't get it using Nova as default
