Hello, i need to change my default launcher, in my rom its comes with Launcher Pro by default, and i want to integrate with Go Launcher instead, but, to be used to default when i install the by Open Recovery, and i removed the Launcher Pro. Any file i need to change to make the Go Launcher the default launcher ?
Thanks
I'm not sure I understand what you did. But if you installed GO Launcher and then removed Launcher Pro, as soon as you reboot GO Launcher will be the home app.
Or, if you have both installed, you could go into Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->LauncherPro and then hit "Clear defaults" in the "Launch by default" section. Reboot and when phone comes up it will ask you to select which launcher to use (you can mark the checkbox to make it default).
no, i want to make these change directly from the zipped rom. Not when i install this ROM.

Just remove launcherpro.apk ( or whatever it is called ) from /system/app and replace it with the go launcher.apk
Thanks. I will try this.
You know how i can set too the configurations of apps and system by default too. For example, set by default to accept install of unknow sources, Jit disabled, etc. ?

i have a similar issue. i used a ROM with Go Launcher set as the default, but i prefer ADW Launcher. i installed that and set it as the default launcher...but now how can i uninstall Go Launcher? it can't be uninstalled through the applications menu (greyed out). is there any easy way?
thanks...

Try removing it through Applications > All. If not, remove it from system/app using Root Explorer.

When you are in manage applications, there is no home?
i cant find the advanced launch under manage aplications?
Cyan doesn't include advanced laucher... you installed a theme for it. Flash the template and it will revert back to the original.
or adb install -r launcher.apk, or replace it with the other.
yes i realized its the original but i want the original 3 screens and 4 icons per row
You can try pushing the launcher from Dwang's ROM. No guarantee it will work though. I do not know which .xml's were edited for that, but it should work
Now each rom has its own ADW launcher set up. I was wondering if you were able to customize it or change it, because some roms I like have a different launcher set up.
You can download it from the Market, when you set home it will ask you which to use, and you can set one was default, but my understanding is that both remain as running processes. So my advice is to remove your currect launcher from system/app and push adw there (you don't need to rename it or anything).

I do this if no ADWLauncher:
rm other launcher, download ADW from market, and push it from /data to /system/app so i can update from market, but it's still a system app.
Thank you guys so much , this changes everything. I would find a great rom but a shi**y launcher. lol
Hi guys i just installed spb shell 3D, set it as my default launcher and restarted. Now the progress bar just keeps going (im on serendipity 6.3).
I can get to cwm , is there any way to get rid of it or reset my default launcher back to the adw ex?
Download a theme and flash it, that will set whatever launcher it uses as default, or give you an option to set a new default.
Hell you could even go into said theme zip and delete everything but the launcher, that way you will only be installing the launcher and not anything else. Try that.
Thanks that worked....
When I rooted my nook this morning, I selected Go Launcher because im kinda familiar with it. Anyways, im wondering if I could switch to that ADW Launcher and if so how?
Every time you install a new launcher, remove or update existing one you will be prompted which launcher do you want to use as the default.
ok but do i have to install the launcher through the bat file like i did when rooting it or do i get it off the market?
why didn't you try it? market should be fine.
Depending on how you rooted, you should be able to open NookColor Tools. From there you click All Settings > Manage applications > GO Launcher > Clear Defaults. Or you could uninstall it. That works too.
thanks brother. ill try it.
I downloaded & installed the ADW launcher ex from the playstore.
I am having a problem setting it as the default app.
the stock kindle launcher is set as default, but when I go to the application menu and scroll down to were it says "launch by default",it says "no defaults set".
I have tried using several different home switcher apps, but they do not recognize that the ADW launcher is installed.

Did you try installing the launcher as a system app? Reboot, then it will upgrade and you should be able to select the default.

this wont matter. All you have to do is make it a system app. you can do this several ways. The easiest way for me is to download ROM toolbox, App Manager>HOLD down on ADWLauncher EX>Convert to system app. then when you press the home button itll ask to set default launcher. select adw and BOOM! Default Launcher = ADW . hope this helps ya.
