[Q] LG Home default launcher - LG Optimus Black

i just install a DXhome launcher and i set it to default home launcher, how can i get back the LG Home launcher? i have try to got to launcher 'setting' --> 'exit DXhome' but it only back to the home menu. And i also have check Application settings --> Manage applications --> All, the LG 'Home' is assign Force stop, how can i on it again?

While in manage applications, selecting LG Home, did you apply "Clear Defaults" ?

the Clear default function is "grey out" and i not able to touch it.

Search for home selector apk. Works fine and lets you select the launcher.

Hi, this is my first post, i've been following some of your tutorials and everything as been running smoothly, but now mto home button goes back to the first screen instead ir opening the menu that allowed me to open tudo launcher pro apps, mto question is how can i restore the previous function. Thanks in advance.

What is tudo?
So you're saying you want the home button to open the app drawer instead of taking you to the first home page in launcher pro ?
No, i want it to allow me to select the home i want to use, either launcher pro, or panda home, or normal home, instead of going back to first screen, this appened after i uninstalled ahome i think.

Settings > Applications > {find your current default home} - there should be a button saying clear defaults. It will then prompt you next time you hit home.
Why would you want that though, unless if you are using multple launchers at the same time, which is a little odd.

ADW Launcher - Can't long press anymore on Home Screen

EDIT: This has been resolved, at the expense of my own ignorance and embarrassment! Thanks for the help, folks.
For whatever reason, all of a sudden, I can't seem to long press on any icons or on the wall itself on my ADW Launcher home screens. So I can't move or delete icons or widgets nor add any new widgets and etc. from that "add" menu. However, I can long press in the app drawer and in folders, and basically anywhere in the phone except for the home screen.
I've tried clearing cache, reverting back to stock launcher (where I can long press fine anywhere), resetting ADW, and rebooting my phone, etc. Nothing seems to fix it. Holding down on an icon will just result in the orange highlight staying on indefinitely.
Clearly it's an issue with ADW, but has anyone experienced this?
did you unlock adw in the menu? you may have locked the desktop.

Download "Home Switcher" from the Market (free). Open it, then hit "Clear Default" on the bottom. It'll bring you to your current launcher's system setting menu, then just hit "Clear defaults" near the bottom. Next time you hit your Home key, it'll ask what launcher you want; pick and choose and choose to make it default or not.
Hope that helps.

Or Menu -> [ADW Options -> Phone Settings (if using ADW) ] Applications -> Manage Applications -> Go to your launcher -> clear defaults

nevermind. problem solved.
to unlock/lock the desktop...simply click the settings button when on the home screen (the 2nd from the left on mytouch 4g) and then click "more" and then lock/unlock desktop.

Setting the launcher

I installed the Regina 3D launcher in my Note, and it said the app was successfully installed. But I see no place to switch to this Launcher! It still stays with the default launcher. Same thing happened with another launcher too.
What am I missing?
Try going to applications, find twlauncher. Then clear defaults.

Have you tried pressing the home button? Launcher selection dialog should show up,
If that doesn't work, If you have root, copy the Launcher's(the launcher that you want) apk file to /system/app/ through root explorer, after that try pressing the home button
Edit: try newg's suggestion, after clearing defaults press home button, that should bring up the launcher selection dialog box.

Launchers

Hi guys i cant use any of the launcher at the google play eg. GO and Nova .. they work just fine but when i press the home button it just goes to the normal phone launcher .. is there a way to make GO the default launcher ??
when you install a second launcher you wil be asked wich one you would like to use when you push the home button.
select the one you want to use and set it to use always, this way it's set as default launcher.
Well. That didnt happen after installation ... it used to work fine before i reinstall the 2.3 again :/

Did you have tried a home switcher APP there can you see which launcher do you have as default and can change it.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
clear defaults and data of your launcher
download go launcher from playstore
if not, do a factory reset or wipe cache and dalvik cache
Maybe you can arrange the Promt for default launcher to pop again without reinstalling,
you have to go to:
Settings\Applications\All\ (and enter your Default launcher)
then scroll down the screen and reset the Default actions for that app.
That will make the Default Launcher Prompt appear when you hit Home Button.
Hope to be useful, i use roms in spanish so the real Labels might not be as accurate.
Good Luck,
Happy New Year

Works fine if you install a cm or aokp rom first. I missed blinkfeed too much though, had to switch back to sense 5.5.
well it seems to work fine if you do the following:
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.

if you hold down the home button you can get the settings menu, from there the only way I see is by adding widgets to more than one screen therefore creating more home screens at the same time. after that just hold the screens to rearrange !!!!

Thanks for your reply. But I know how to add more screens.. I just need to know how to set a default homescreen, for example I want screen 2 to be my home screen instead of screen 1.

Yes, I am also interested in this. I liked how jelly bean had my middle screen default. Therefore, I only had to swipe a max of twice in either direction. Now I have to swipe 4 times to get to the far right screen.
I was unable to use any of these .apks due to the 'unable to parse package' error. I fixed permissions in Root Explorer and still no go. Anybody else have this happen?
Dang, im still getting a force close even after changing the language to uk english and back.

I have to occasionally do it. I'm not sure if that's normal or not, but it works most of the time. Weird issue.
