I installed Launcher Pro and as expected, whenever I hit the home key, a dialogue box pops up and asks me "Complete action using". My choices are LaucherPro and TwLauncher.
I would like to select LauncherPro and set that action by default, but lets say I want to go back to using the default launcher. How do I reset that default setting?
Did a search, couldn't find anything, must be too simple for most...
This has actually been brought up a number of times, so I have a hard time imagining you searched much.
Either simply install "Home Switcher" from the market place or go to Settings--->Applications--->Manage Applications--->Launcher Pro and click "Clear Defaults"
This is how you would do it in just about every android phone, but since you're running the Vibrant according to your signature, if the exact actions aren't the same, find the way to get to "Manage Applications" and go from there
only thing that catches my eye from the kitkat launcher is the google search bar on screen (SAY OK GOOGLE) will that be later implemented into a zip for other launchers? i can always just click on the mic but saying that makes me a cool alley cat .
how come some nexus files/zips are able to be flash or install into our verizon gs3 without messing nothing up? time to time i check out there theme sections but dont wanna flash anything cuz im afraid it might brick my fone since its not a d2vzw file .
Chances are you won't see OK Google coming to other launchers from what I've read. Apparently Google made that and the Google now screen you can swipe to proprietary code.
As to the other, it really just depends. If it's just an app or theme you'd see mixed results. Just make sure you're making backups. If it's a rom or kernel or something, stay away.

You can have that same launcher, it is called the Google Experience Launcher, and is located Here. You no longer need the Google Search App from that page, as long as the Google Search App on your device is up to date. You also have the option of a modified version in the Play Store called KitKat Launcher+, HERE
When I install the GEL on stock 4.1.2, after pressing the home button, I was given the option to select what launcher I used. For some reason when I installed it on stock 4.3, I was not given that option, and had to go into the application manager to fix it.
Press the menu key, and select "Settings"
Press "Application Manager"
Slide over to the "All" tab
Scroll down to "TouchWiz Home"
Select "Clear defaults" under the "Launch by default heading"
Now when you press the home key, you will be given the option to select what launcher you want to use
When you first get into the launcher, you will notice that the microphone in the search bar is hollow, this means that the "Ok Google" function is not currently working. To get this to work, you need to
Press the menu key
You will see three options on the bottom of the screen "WALLPAPERS" "WIDGETS" "SETTINGS"
Select the "SETTINGS" tab
Select the "Voice" menu
Select the "Offline speech recognition"
Select the "ALL" tab
Press the English (US)
Press "OK"
Select the "AUTO-UPDATE" tab
I selected the second option, because I am never on Wi-Fi, you can leave it on Wi-Fi only if you are always on it
Select the "INSTALLED" tab
Press "English (US)
Press "Download"
When it is done downloading, the microphone in the search bar should be filled in, and you can now say "OK Google" to activate it.
As for your other question, it all depends on what the files are. If it is a system or framework file it most likely can't be flashed, someone might be able to port it over to work.

I don't want the kitkat launcher i jst want the kitkat search bar. I have the launcher but dislike it. Im a nova launcher user
Is there a way to change the soft buttons left/right? (I want to have the back-button on the right side). On the HUAWEI P8 or Mate there is a option in the Settings to choose which functions the soft buttons sould have. Anay way to do this on the Idol 3?
It's a developer option "RTL". Go to settings, then go to the bottom of settings list, tap about phone, look through lost for build number, tap the build number multiple times till it says you are now a developer, then tap back arrow till you get back to your Main settings, then scroll back down to the bottom of the settings list, you will notice a new setting option that says Developer Options, tap that setting button, then scroll through the list and look for RTL, tap it once. Problem fixed.
If you are on a custom Rom then let me know which Rom and I will help you.
Thanks, but this turns the whole phone to "Right To Left" not only change the two Softkeys

There is a way, though it requires root, xposed and the app Gravitybox (Which has loads of diffrent useful mods, including back and recent buttons reverse option. though you can download a app for just this purpose)

Doing all the steps, but after encryption, phone reboots and when i open nova launcher and go to settings - accounts it still says "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device". Tried on Moto XT1541 by the way.
Any suggestions?
You must be doing something wrong friend, I did 3 different XT1541 and everything worked as intended.
After Encryption (using DPC 'set up Owner' method) it will allow you to add a new user without inputting old details. You don't have to add new user, just going into settings and doing factory reset should also work.
Guy from the forum made video of the unlocking process, please watch and try to find your mistake - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJl_cq04LY8 (just ignore the part where he is looking for/installing Device Provisioner, it's not necessary)

Actually, seems like on some devices (if not all, pending verification )it's going to launcher after SECOND reset.
So that would mean it's only necessary to install the DPC Test, do encryption and restart 2x times after the encryption is done, shortening the whole process a lot!
On Test Dpc not showing 'Set up device owner'
Post screens of what you get in the DPC app. Also, fully charge your phone's battery.

Uhm, so weird. Maybe you did something wrong. Method still working, just did XT1541 last week.
Might be you have some latest update and Motorola fixed it, but I highly doubt it.
All I can suggest is - wipe and go again.

I Do Everything ! but Not Success Dear ! :'( i think this method cant working in new sec patches!
Just did it again - still working on Android 6.0.1 with 1 March 2016 security patch. If anyone has any problems let me know.
P.S. This time after initial 'phone encryption' I had to re-run Test DCP manually (bypassing Google login with Nova launcher shortcut, as described in the first post).
After running it for the second time it finished setting up the admin profile. Then reset phone, login with new Google account.

XT1527 AT&T with 5.1. There is no Google menu there. Does any another options exist?
You should be able to access the same menu through Apps-Google App-Notifications (app name might be different, going from memory).
Hi,
New to oxygen. How do I add a wifi tethering shortcut to the top drawer?
Currently it takes 6-7 clicks to get to the menu.
Running 9.5.7.GM21AA
Hi, you can do that by following these steps
1) Install Nova launcher. Don't need to use it as default launcher.
2) Once installed, long press on home screen and select "widgets"
3) Scroll down and tap and hold " Nova launcher Activities”
4) Scroll down and expand "Settings"
5) Once Settings is expanded, scroll down and tap "Hotspots & Tethering".
Now you have a shortcut straight to Tethering saving you 3-4 taps.
You should be able to add the icon to your QuickSettings labled "Hotspot"

It worked perfectly on MiUI 12. There was a "Tethering and portable hotspot option"
