Hi guys!
I'm currently using amazing ADW launcher EX and I just stumbled upon launcher 8 and I would like to use both. Is there any posibility to make- for an example - home button to switch between launching one and another launcher?
Sorry for my English.
If you dont set either as default app then i thibk every time you press home button it will ask which you want to use.

Yes but I was hoping that it could work the way I mentioned. Claystone launcher works this way for example. I was hoping for some third party app that could swtich home apps in a sec

Not sure whether this is what you search for, but "Home Switcher" by ymst (free in the Play store) lets you switch between your installed launchers.

1. Why uninstall? Never uninstall system apps if not sure it will work. There are apps that can freeze apps, then simply unfreeze if needed. Titanium backup can do this and much more like backup.
2. Don't know, never used launcher pro, xperia launcher are the best Imo
3. Choose yes to use wifi, and use an app to set it to use in eg Europe, Japan or wherever....search in xda for like gps faster fix.
As for 1 there's also a list on the web stating which system apps can be deleted or not. You risk fc and apps mot working properly as they depend on another, easy freezy are also an app to use for freezing apps
Easiest for you would be to install a custom rom, you need clockwork mod recovery and root then. Pm me if you need a guide
Thanks for the sugestion now i have reinstalled messaging app and disable it using root app delete
Now want one more thing to ask

I'd advice you to keep from freezing / uninstalling apps if you don't know what they're for. It's not like you will get a huge performance improvement if you delete these, so I'd let them be.
You can freeze the LG launcher (or uninstall it if you want) as long as you have another launcher installed. This is required, otherwise you're in for disaster.
Thanks for a very quick reply
Just wanted to say after freezing some of the apps that i donf use i got a very good ram space and i feel that my device is now working much faster
Now what about freezing browser and lge hidden menu
And yeah what is rsstarter ??
thanks

It's for the Remote Screen service. If you don't use it, you don't need rsstarter. I removed it with no evident side effects.
BTW, thanks to SuperSkill I learned something new -- I didn't understand before what exactly "freezing" meant...
Thanks freezed it successfully..!
and yeah +1 to superskill from mr as well

Superskill buddy,
just checked my PM too.....lol
I have been searching for about three days and all I could find was people saying that a new one cant. Without having to use a custom rom is it able to add multitasking that amazon removed back on a rooted kindle fire HD?

It depends on what you mean by "multitasking". If you are talking about the ability to switch between apps without losing everything...it already does that. Any time you move away from an app, it goes into suspend mode and is stored in cache. In suspend mode, the app is no longer running code, therefore there is no processing being done on it until it is called back again. It's not really "multitasking" in the truest sense but that's how ICS does it.
On the other hand, if you're talking about the "history" button, that brings up a list with screenshots of your recent apps in their suspended state...the 2G KFs do not have that feature.

The first one can be accessed from the status bar. The second one can be configured to work with Button Savior or LMT.
this is what i have been using has a limit of 5 recent apps

this is what i am currently using plays nice with lmt also

HomeFlip is quite nice.
Use the kindleology Rom you just hold the home button down with it and it opens up recent apps

Any way to delete this action programming ?

I hope I got you right...
If I do then, all what you have to do is go to gear manager on your mobile and there go to my apps... From there you can set the apps that you want to see on the watch touchwiz launcher by swiping left and right...
This works only for apps that are installed through your phone (I.e. visible to the gear manager). Side-loaded apps unfortunatelly are only accessible through the app drawer in the touchwiz launcher interface.

That is the biggest drawback to this, if you side-load an app it cannot be moved around in the favorites menu.

My gear manager bugged out and I had root explorer as one of my installed apps.. Im sure there's a way to get them listed.. I think they may have to be system apps tho..
I saw two people having issues and stuck at at&t screen. Has anybody else attempted it after root? Thanks in advance. Love my root. No issues yet.

Too scared to check.. I want to know also!

I did it. It is different looking as well. It will work just don't delete your system launcher like the others did. Once pressing the home button in this mode it shows you different stuff. To leave is different as well. I don't even use this ultra mode but root definitely changes it.
I tried ultra power saving mode also and my phone rebooted fine. And I am rooted.
Anyone having serious battery drain 4.4.2?

It's the launcher. Don't freeze or delete the launcher.

That's fine, just don't enable UPS mode. It apparently needs the stock Launcher in order to work properly and not lock up the phone on boot.
