Hello! I cannot get the Quick Dial widget to work at all! It works if I use the stock launcher, but not when I use Nova Launcher. I'm running the latest version of Nova Launcher (5.0.2) on a rooted Huawei Mate 9. I can create the link/icon but when I try to click it, it says "permission denied." Is there any way to fix this? I would hate to have to switch back to the stock launcher because of this!

I'm going to repost this in the Nova Launcher thread, just to see if maybe someone there might know something.

Hi,
To circumvent this problem with the direct-call widget some people recommended Speeddial.apk. The free version only lets you create dial-contacts while the pro version also allows sms-contacts. But since SMS widgets already work (they use a different app to actually direct-text) the free version is sufficient. The only problem of Speeddial is its big storage requirements and the regular nagging to obtain the pro-version.
A much better alternative IMHO that is completely free is Quickdial.apk. This is widget-app is only limited to dialer-shortcuts but it only requires 384kB instead o/t +2MB of SpeedDial. Beware that some people might not like the look of QuickDial's widgets.

I've been searching the market, but I can't find Launcher Pro anywhere
I've also downloaded the beta .apk from the official site but my phone says that it's not compatible with this model. Is there anyway to get Launcher pro to work with my x10?
Also what are some advantages and disadvantages over ADW Launcher (which is what I am currently using.. and loving)? I just want to try out Launcher pro...
Thank you for your time

I use Launcher Pro and it has a number of advantages over ADW (which is a fine product).
However, as long as you have android 1.6 you will never be able to use launcher pro, as well as many other fine market products.
I suggest putting pressure on Rogers/Sony to upgrade to a higher level (2.2 - Froyo is out already.)

Oh! So launcher pro is only available to people with latest android versions? That explains it
Thank you

I figured as much... are you using launcherpro on your x10?
Ok First off hello and thank you all for your outstanding newb service you have provided me with . I recently purchased a DX and with the help of you all I have Rooted, Deodexed and customized the hell out of the damn thing (newb level). I am currently running apex. My question is how do I disable the Tranq launcher and enable Launcher Pro? I have uninstalled and reinstalled launcher pro multiple times however, I can not run it. When I first installed the apex rom (after 928 black glass) It asked me what I would like to use as my default launcher, I selected Tranq and checked the remember this box (thats not what its called but you get the idea) thinking I would be able to run Launcher Pro if in fact I did not like Tranq. When I try to "launch" LauncherPro through astro it gives me the following error Activity Not Found. Astro is the only way I can find Launcher Pro even after install. I just scroll to the install, select it and click "launch". Thank you and I apologize for the crazy post (Im multitasking right now, typing with one hand feeding my baby girl with the other) Any ideas?
Do you have root explorer or titanium backup? If so check to see if launcher pro is installed. Of it is you can remove stock launcher.

Yes I have titanium backup pro but I dont see Tranq launcher on there. The only launcher I see is Launcher Pro. Should I uninstall Launcher Pro with titanium? Will that help?
You could try Home Switcher
http://www.appbrain.com/app/home-switcher/ymst.android.homeswitcher
I don't think it lets you set a default home in Froyo (2.2), but it will let you switch to another home.
Switch to LauncherPro and remove/rename the one you have

I agree Home switcher is the fastest and easiest way to switch between different homescreens/Launchers. And FYI is does in fact let you set a specific one as your default in Froyo.

You need to go Settings - Applications - Manage Applications, and then select Tranq launcher. Once done, scroll down and click on "Clear Defaults". Now, when you hit the home button again, you should be asked which launcher you want to use. Or use Home Switcher.
Alright, I have fixed the problem with the help of all you. Thanks guys!
i installed the new 1.4 ROM and now i cant get launcer pro to stick... ill hit home and it will pop up asking what launcher to go to. ill click the box to set as default then select launcher pro... then i can hit home and it will take me to launcher pro, but then out of no where it will pop up again asking what launcher i want to go to?? so ill click the box and set launcher pro as default and it will work for a while then do it again?? anyone have a fix for this?
i should also say that i was having this issue on 1.3.2 right before i installed 1.4...
I have this same issue and I'm stock. Everytime I run Adw it doesn't stay.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
So get tired of trying launcher pro so set sense as my default and same thing happens? Must be something clearing out the default. It randomly happens but then I can also make it happen by long pressing the home button to pull last opened apps...

go to the market and search for it....you will see what it does...it is free...you can try it..see if you like it..if not delete
I have been running launcher pro plus since BAMF 1.1 and have not had any issues. Other than always constantly customizing.
Are you running free or pay version?
One of the things I really like about the version of ADW that comes with CM7 is the ability to configure the "double-tap" feature...a feature that's lost on the ADW EX. I had to switch to GO Launcher anyway, b/c I needed folder support in the app drawer.
Does anyone know of an app that brings back the customizable double-tap?
Thanks, and thanks for all the great work, everyone.
Pull the apk out of CM7, install it on your current ROM, and see if that works.
I thought adw still had that... well the market version used to have it. I dunno. but yeah there is no perfect launcher. sorry I don't have a suggestion. maybe a home switcher or lockscreen app since both types of apps sometimes hijack the home key to make sure they always work and will then call up the launcher app.

The free version does, but not the pay version, oddly enough.

I'm running CM7 as my ROM now. The double-click is part of the ADW bundled with it, which I don't want to use b/c of no folder support. There wouldn't be a separate .apk for just the double click, would there? I'd imagine that'd be part of the ADW?
Give it a try. Normally apps are bundled into their own apk files.
Has a working solution ever been found to address this issue?
Can third-party launchers now be used on color OS 7.1
Oppo find X2
And does Android messages working group texting?
Here i am using Nova Launcher, seems to work perfectly
OPPO also blocks third-party Launcher, at least in the CN version. You can only deactivate the original launcher.
gestures no longer work

Me too. Only thing it doesn't allow from 3rd party - that I've noticed so far, is the Clone App feature

I installed nova launcher first and then used abd to uninstall com.oppo.launcher .
Nova launcher started, but the task button and gestures did not work.
How did you switch without problem?

Not sure how you'd do it without the oppo launcher being installed. I just made Nova Launcher the default when asked. Try App Management, Default Apps

Thank you for your reply, but sorry
My find x2 pro is probably the Chinese version.
On default app in app management, i can't show choice for system apps.
So I'm looking for other way to change it with adb etc.
Hey guys,
I had the CN x2, but the restrictions were too big and I sold it again. 1. I hope that there will be a root as soon as it falls below 1000 euros in Europe and is therefore affordable for more people. Had my search, because of Nova, found this and it went pretty well. Only important for the CN version

Did you ever manage to figure out how to get the task button to work?
Hello,
I contacted Oppo's support about third party launcher. They seems suprised it is not possible to use another one. They will look deeper in this issue as , for the moment, it is not possible to select another launcher as homescreen in default apps, for chinese rom.
I hope they will deploy a fix for it
Finally, Oppo's support just answered me that this feature is not supported by this device.
I am quite disappointed and think about selling this great phone in order to go to another brand ( maybe oneplus 8 pro )....

It's supported on non-CN models. Only CN locks out launcher switch. Same with the 5 autostart Apps.

Which feature is not supported?
you can't chnage the laucnher unless you adb the phone and uninstall it, and then the buttom gestures don't work.
