Hi all xoomers out there. The issue I'm having is this: once I launch the ADWlauncher ex app obviously the home screens change and everything changes including theme. No problem so far. The issue is whenever I hit the home button from whatever screen I'm currently on it defaults back to the stock launcher. So then I have to open the app drawer and launch ADW again to reapply its settings and theme. How do I correct this annoying feature?

Install launcher switcher from the android market (its free) then clear launcher defaults and then finally select adw as your default.
OK I will try that out and see how it goes...

I agree...the other option is to use titanium or bloat freezer to freeze your stock home app.
or find the launcher in setting >apps and clear defaults. Should allow u you to re select adw

What launcher are you using now? Which launcher do you want to change it to?
I set the stock launcher to default and want to change it to helix but I have no idea how to change the setting on the stock launcher.
Ive used helix for a few minutes before switching back to launcher. Try starting helix from the applications list.from there you can set it as the default launcher I guess.there is no setting in the default launcher to disable it or close it if I recall. U need to start helix first.

Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. Find and select the launcher and it will give you info about it. One of the options should be "remove defaults". I'm running Desire so launcher isn't listed for me but give this a try and see if it works.
It's different if your default launcher is the launcher the phone came with since it is not listed in Manage Apps. What I ended up doing, was downloading a third launcher and only then was I able to get the prompt that ask which launcher to use.
I´ve accidently set twlauncher as the default one, so cant get back to my launcherpro unless i use a app to do it, is there anyway to remove twlauncher as the default home ?
Download another home screen replacement then it will pop back up. Change it then uninstall the one u just downloaded

when selecting launcherpro as default it changes back to twlauncher everytime.
settings/applications/manage applications/all/ find touchwiz launcher then clear defaults.
Just out of curiosity, is there anyway to change the way the menu looks when you use LauncherPro? I like LP but I prefer the one that has sort of a cubed look to it - when you scroll it has the next page of apps under the ones shown now. 3D look I suppose. Is there anyway to have that menu style with LP? Thanks!
Do you mean the app drawer? If so, Yes. Once your at the home screen hit the menu button, the hour preferences. These are all preferences for LP. For 3d app drawer, got to advanced settings and your should see it.

I think u mean is the transitions? LP lacks it, u must try adwlauncher EX much better than lp.. awsome home transitions

Sounds like he's wanting what Nerz explained. It's the scrollable "3D Drawer", in advanced settings. I'm using it as well in LP+ and it works perfectly.
hey, just wondering if I need to disable blur some how? I recently switched to launcher pro and now whenever I try to add an attachment via whatapp it force closes. Any idea why? It never showed an option to choose blur or launcher pro when hitting the home button like it did on my old phones. I had to force close the home launcher and then it loaded launcher pro.

I'm running LauncherPro and the same thing happened to me when trying to switch home apps. It just crashed and LauncherPro opened. As far as the force closes, mine doesn't do that. I did root and get rid of all Verizons bloatware before switching to LauncherPro tho
The only issue I have with launcher pro is on boot up. launcher pro force closes immediately before it will load and work.

Had trouble like this with LP and Zeam Launcher. Zeam just drained my battery and made the phone hot. Launcher Pro would FC. ADW and Go Launcher seem to work just fine.
Go launcher ex doesn't do this. Neither does ADW so far.
Go into the settings and change the launcher manually.

Oh I forgot to mention that launcher pro does take a little while to load on first boot but is fine after that

I just bought a Kindle Fire HD for my husband. I have rooted it and would like to change launchers. I HATE the carousel! I've sideloaded and installed Go Launcher ex and ADW Launcher Ex but neither seem to be permanent. Go launcher crashes and ADW is fine EXCEPT when touching the Home button then it reverts back to the kindle launcher. I REALLY don't like the Kindle home screen and would like a permanent fix. Any ideas and help would be appreciated
Try putting the apk if the launcher into the system / app folder.

Thanks so much! You have no idea how relieved I am!:good: :laugh:
Just an update, upon reboot my kindle lost the go launcher option once again but at least is not bricked anymore. I will wait for a permanent fix so I can use Go Launcher without it switching back when I hit the home button. thanks again
Just use an app like titanium backup or rom toolbox and find go launcher or adw launcher in the app list. There will be a setting to convert the app to a system app. You might need to long press on the app title to find the setting.
After it is converted to a system app, reboot. Then press the home button, you should be prompted to select a launcher in which you can set a default.
