home switcher wont save my launcher - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
does any one know why home switcher wont save my spb shell 3d launcher?
Thanks
Ido

Are you trying to set SPB Shell 3D as your default launcher? If so, you need to use Home Switcher for Froyo, or another home switching app like HomeSmack to clear the current default choice of launcher, then select SPB Shell 3D as your new default.

The easiest way is uninstall, go to market and install again, then home button will open launcher dialog and mark as default, if continues, contact developer.
And sorry for that question, but u have purchased SPB Shell 3D?

Staring from Froyo Home switcher can no longer set the default launcher. Go to settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> all applications. Find your current launcher and clear defaults. Now press the Home button and set the new launcher as default

How to put back Program Monitor Widget in ADW Launcher in Froyo

Guys, I cannot find and add the Program Monitor Widget in my SGS after i installed ADW launcher. Its on default screen on TW running JPK. Thanks
This is one of my main issues since I wanted to change launchers.
Can anyone help?
The Program Monitor Widget (Samsung Task Manager) is disabled by default for most add on Home Launchers. This is because they show up in the list of running programs. If you then end the Launcher you wont have access to any screens without a restart.
You can open Samsung Task Manager from the App Drawer.

Thank you very much for your explanation.
I now understand why it is missing from the launchers.
Still, is there any other widget that can do the same? show the active apps?

The icon is for a task killer app - which you don't need!
I don't like the style personaly but it's original ^^
hi guys, short question...i am new to android, so if i install awd or launcher pro, do i have to uninstall/deactivate sense first? can i switch back to sense?
When a new App is installed, which changes some standard behaviour, you will be prompted which App you want to use. After installing LauncherPro press HOME Key, you will be asked, which App should be taken for that. You can also check the box for useing it every time.
When you want to go back, you have to reset that thing in Settings - Application.
So you can easily go back to Sense. Or you can uninstall LauncherPro, same effect.
thanks for the info. i will try it...

It should be the same as LauncherPro. Go in settings -> Manage app -> Choose ADW and Clear Default ( if I remember well I don't have it installed atm )

Hi, thanks for sharing this with us, but why did you open a new thread instead of posting in the Show your display thread???
There's a warning in the forum rules about opening new threads when a similar one alrady exists.

[Q] home switcher/launcher

im using gdx v17 and the default launcher is launcher pro I've got a spb shell 3d and i want to be the default launcher how??? any help...
I guess you have LP installed already. Go to settings > applications > management > SPB 3D > tap clear defaults. Press home button and then Launcher Pro.

clear default cannot be tap...it's black...I already tried some switcher in the market but none of them can give me the result ..when I tried to uninstall LP then reboot the screen is black and only the notification bar can be seen
Delete Launcherpro.apk in system/app with root explorer. Then install lp from market and uninstall SPB.

I think I mislead you all guys.... what I want to do is to make SPB shell 3d my default launcher instead of Launcher Pro...
