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.

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
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. ?

Try removing it through Applications > All. If not, remove it from system/app using Root Explorer.
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....
I just can't figure out the whole rooting thing. But I hate the KFHD's interface. Can I change it, if so, how?
Go to the Amazon App Store, download Easy Installer. Then go to Google and search for a Go Launcher HD .apk file of any version. Transfer that apk file to your storage on the tablet, load Easy Installer and install the launcher. Afterwards, go to your apps and initialize the launcher.

Didn't work for me....
That tells me nothing. WHAT didn't work for you?
I downloaded Easy Installer, got the apk and installed the package. After Go Launcher installs nothing happens. The option to "open" is geryed-out, my only choice is to click "done". After that, Go Launcher doesn't appear in my app list.
Then that launcher isn't compatible with Android 4.0, or at least with Amazon's OS. Apex, Nova, and ADW works fine.

I just wanted to confirm that this method creates an icon where I actually boot the launcher? I've considered the non-root methods to install an alternate launcher but it looks like they all are kind of a "soft" install where hitting the home button actually takes you back to the Amazon OS (requiring you to re-open the alt. launcher.)
You can set it inside the launchers. Nova, for example, allows you to change the function of the home button, when you press it, it asks what launcher is your main one, and when you select Nova, every time you hit the home it will return to Nova.
And yes, it does create an icon in your app drawer.
So i used Root Junkies tool to install nova launcher on my 5.11 amazon fire. I dont particularly care for it. Is there a way to remove it. The app is not able to be uninstalled from the settings.
The batch file made it a system file like the Amazon apps. It's not a bad idea to have two installed tbh.
Anyway before you try and remove it, make sure you've another launcher on the Fire as the batch deletes the amazon one.
Easier to just add another launcher from the store, then pressing home should* give option to switch to it. (Now Launcher is a pain though and for that you need to go to Settings, Apps & Games, Manage All applications, slide across to all tab, find Nova launcher and Clear Defaults. Then press home).
You can delete Nova in a rooted file browser (ES file browser with root permissions maybe), or a system app deletion app, or from shell. You could edit the batch file if you've the file of the new one you want, put it in the pc directory with all those other files and then run it to install that and wipe nova.
How could you get the stock fire launcher back on?
Grab the file com.amazon.firelauncher.apk from OP in this thread
