Launchers - LG Optimus Black

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.

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

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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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.

[Q] [HELP] Always need to select default launcher

Now every time after i long-pressed the Home key to enter task manager,
when i press the home key again,
the system just ask me to select default launcher again.
I have try to use all launcher switcher and deleted all launcher (launcher pro etc)
and now i just have the TW launcher.
Please help.
Hmm, you did tick the box with default launcher right?
(And you tried home switcher for froyo)
And having one launcher you ticked the box and still get the "choose"?
Sorry if I misunderstood you.
Well try to go to applications look for the tw launcher and clear cache/data. But this will reset your settings of the launcher too. But have 2 launchers installed just in case something goes more wrong and you would have to do a factory reset .

Yes , you are right.
i have try factory reset, but as i used titanium backup to backup all other apps other than those launcher.
but seems after i install launcherpro, no matter i uninstall it or not, the problem is come again
find the launchers you dont use in settings > manage applications > 'unwanted launcher'
then un-install it or try clearing data / defaults. that should do the trick.
if you only have one launcher on your phone and you set that as default, it cant ask you which one to choose from.
Download an application name Home switcher and set one as default so everytime u long press home button you it will not ask again and u can reset any default launcher u like ..

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.

finally i can get it, in manage applications --> choose 'DX home', then under Launch by default --> Clear defaults. Now my home button can choose either DX Home or LG Home. Anyway thanks all for help.

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.

Go Launcher EX unstall

The ROM I installed on my Eris has the GO Launcher EX as the default launcher, and while I've installed different ones, It seems that the GO launcher is stuck as the default.
Here's the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430
Has anyone else had this issue? I've tried going into settings and uninstalling it, but it refuses to let me do so.
Use root explorer and manually go in and delete it. Its been a long time since I've used an Eris so I don't know the name of the directory it will be in.

In addition to the above, if you do have another launcher installed, you should be able to go into (from home) settings->applications->manage applications. Tap the "All" tab on the top, and find the entry for "GO Launcher EX". Tap it, then look for the button "clear defaults".
The next time that you hit the home button it should ask you for which launcher you want to use, with a check box control to set that one as the default.
