Hi guys,
Since March update I cannot acces wallpaper and style option in settings?
Anyone else has problem?

Yes indeed, it crashes for me too, and I've seen another report as well.
Works fine here ... On March Update. But maybe I'm just lucky
Also I'm not using stock launcher, I'm using Nova
Only worked once for me, I think. Clearing data does not help either.
Using Action Launcher, shouldn't make a difference...

Huh, setting the Pixel launcher as default made it work...
Works fine for me on Nova.

For me it works on Nova but ONLY if you get there by long pressing on the Home screen....if you go to Settings Wallpaper, I suspect it will fail. At least thats when it crashes here.
Both ways work fine for me every time. But I will say that each method is different in how it works. The long press allows you to choose many pictures, whereas the method going through settings takes you into completely different picture options.

Same here
Triple that here as well. Works either to Wallpaper and Style under Settings.
Using Nova as well.
I switched to Pixel Launcher and still not crashing for me
No probs at all with Lawnchair

Check pixel launcher
Sprawdź pixel launcher
What's going on with languages in the forum today?
I backed up my Nova settings, switched back to Pixel Launcher as default, Settings - Wallpapers works again. Switched back to Nova being my default Launcher, and Settings - Wallpapers is still working, so for me thats the fix. HTH.

It'll stop working in a while, probably, after some background process dies, and you'll have to repeat the process. But no need to backup your nova settings really...

Hi,
Just upgraded my phone a week ago or so and am having some issues getting ADW Launcher to stay as the default replacement home launcher after rebooting.
Every time I reboot the phone it will ask which app to use for the Home button. I choose ADW and Always. It keeps that setting until the next reboot.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Bob

Are you running any special mods or tweaks that might be wiping the Defaults settings?
Just curious have you tried Apex or Nova launcher? IMHO, they seem to be lighter and faster than ADW, but that's my preference!!

I'm running stock JB; read some articles about rooting, but haven't rooted yet. Had my Charge rooted with no problems.
I will try another launcher, but I think I also had GO Launcher installed and it did the same thing. Doesn't seem to be launcher related. It almost seems that Sammy wants their launcher to be the default, so it asks every time the phone reboots.
I bought ADW while it was on sale a while back. It worked better on my tablet than Apex and Nova. I am really only running it on my phone because I bought it and to be on the same launcher as my tablet.
Thanks,
Bob
UPDATE: just installed Apex and rebooted; no prompt for launcher app. Must be something with ADW. I'll have to shoot them an email.
Thanks for the help!

Adw is garbage. Nova launcher is where it's at.

The free nova installs lookout security, not cool in my opinion, but they must get some kickback. I use the paid apex, it works pretty good.

Settings/apps/..... goto your launchers that are installed, click remove defaults on the ones you can. Then back out to home screen, hit your home button, click always use, then click your launcher.

I want to enable gesture control on my Z1C (running stock 757 Sony KK, rooted) so I can launch a couple of apps with a gesture rather than an icon. I've tried Xposed Framework and GEL settings but doesn't seem to work from me for some reason.
So I thought I might play around with different launchers. So...
which ones are you using and liking? I've used Apex most in the past. Are there any that work well with KK?
And...
How can I backup my settings on my current launcher (don't even know if it is a Sony or Google launcher tbh!) so I can revert back as required?
Thanks.
Hi,
try nova launcher or solo launcher. Nova comes with either free or pro versions(pro gives you few more customization options), solo is a free launcher with 90% of nova pro's options. If you decide to go with nova, be careful I couldn't activate my 'pro' key for over 2 months (bought via paypal). Both are good choice. In my opinion, if you did't buy nova pro yet, go for solo launcher. Bare in mind some of sony's widgets (weather, walkan) won't work.
As for the settings, they won't go missing. Default sony launcher will save them.

Its working fine with this settings... Have been using from last 3 days and no issues as of now.... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
A simple solution, install latest nova launcher and in nova settings>advanced enable aggressive desktop and restart nova.
Same problem
I am using Xperia Launcher. It also has the same problem. But far better than others. Only the widgets blacks out
Its an MIUI bug
Has anyone found a solution to this issue? I would really like to run the Google Now Launcher but it is too glitchy.
Thanks!

None, I guess.. Its a problem with RAM management of MIUI that causes third party launchers to redraw so often.. You can either use Nova launcher with above mentioned setting to keep it in memory or try updating MIUI to latest version... I had the same issue with GNL in MIUI, I rooted and am using wilson's CM12.1 ROM now
Is anyone else having issues using any custom launcher from the Google play store? For example, when Nova is installed and set as the launcher, when going home from an app the animation leads to a strange overlay with both the Nova and stock launcher on the display. I've attached a photo to illustrate the issue. It's worth mentioning that I'm on the latest stock China rom, nothing done to the phone at all.
I had the same issue. It was resolved after I did a reboot.

Delete data/cache of miui launcher from app menù is better
You guys should try the pocophone launcher on play store. It works great
Pocophone launcher is nice... but it lacks the Google feed integration. Otherwise I would use it.

Action launcher is good and has the Google feed, smooth and good customisation
Never had this issue on any Rom and I'm using nova launcher since I got the device.

I have never had that issue. However, using a custom launcher and trying to change the lock screen background doesn't seem to work on custom launchers unless you are using a theme. If you change the lock screen background though on the default launcher and then switch launchers, it does stick.
Receivced my Pro 6 yesterday and very happy so far.
I normally use Nova as my launcher but on the CN ROM its not certified by Xiaomi so will not "stick" as the default.
Switched to Microsoft Launcher wich is behaving fine - screen shot of my homepage attached.
Any other Launchers that people are aware of that are Certified on CN ROM ?
I use the Nova launcher on it as well, and it works fine.
I remember, that I'Ve had the same issue as you with the setting not being persisted.
If you set your default launcher via the nova launcher settings page, it persists without a problem.
Maybe you want to change the title of the thread? We are talking about launchers, not browsers.

Interesting.. I did manage to set Nova as the launcher via it's own setting but after a reboot it reverted to stock and wouldnt let me set as default.
Will try again.
And yes, spotted my mistake re Launcher in title. I did fix it.
I'm not a 100% sure since it's been weeks, but I think I also disabled the default launcher with "universal android debloater".
OK....
some progress with Nova.
The popup about certification seems to appear when you play with the Homepage search bar in Nova.
I had it working fine but as soon as I added a search bar it started to prompt

On my Samsung Tab S8+ I removed the search bar and did a backup.
It restored fine to the Tab 6 and this time all works fine

Hi
I have the Pad 6 not Pro and when I use Nova I cannot use gestures, only buttons are available. Is there any way to get gestures while using Nova.
