...more Battery if i have Touchwiz on my Phone too?
And how can i get ADW.Launcher only (Replace Touchwiz?)
i used it for a day and battery was fine
i also had launcher pro and widget locker all installed but was using adw so no problems on battery
now to use it as default instead of tw launcher
just install it and press the home bottun u will get an option menu to choose to wich launcher and a use as default so
click use as default and then select adw launcher
keep in mind i dont know if u can re use tw with out reflash or something but again i am a n00b so each time i choose the launher i watn
Yea i know that, thats how it works for now. but i do think Touchwiz Home isent off. it feels like i could just change between them easy (home switcher).
I think ADW.Launcher is on and Touchwiz is kinda in the background... using my memory!
I would like to get it replaced fully (NO TOUCHWIZ)
You can do this by rooting your phone and then using titanium backup to uninstall TWlauncher.
I don't think that when you use ADW , Touch wiz remains in the background.
Yes, you are right. Even though Android system puts the inactive threads to sleep but they are still persistent in the memory. Getting rid of TW.Launcher will give you a bit more free memory but I don't see why it will change your battery backup performance. Unless you are using some funky add-on with ADW.Launcher which is running all the time in the background.
How is your battery backup without ADW.Launcher?
And yes, as Aldonski mentioned, get yourself rooted and get Titanium backup to remove TW.Launcher for good.
I need TW launcher to connect to kies....it won't with otherwise
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Yes it will if you remove it completely. I connect to KIES without TW.Launcher.
Hi guys. What's the way to find/upload wallpapers/themes/ widgets in Nova ?
And where do you usually get those from ?
I use smart launcher and the market has some themes to download, but I find nothing for Nova so I assume it's something else.
I am new to this launcher and not sure how to go about this.
Thanks.
Hi. I recently purchased the Nova launcher, and from time to time the HTC Sense launcher rears its ugly head. It usually happens if I access the settings menu and return home, and I have to launch Nova launcher manually.
I don't plan on rooting or installing a custom ROM yet, and would like to know if there is any way I can keep the HTC launcher from appearing ever?
Thank you

Hi.
You should make/choose a Nova as your default launcher.
You can do this in : Nova/Avdanced Options/Set Default Launcher.
Should work.

If you have titanium. Freeze sense.
Hey folks, i'm here seeking for help; i was using the Nova Launcher on my Moto g and after the latest firmware update ( which gives you the awesome google launcher...*sarcasm*) i noticed that the home button wasn't redirecting me to the Default Page i searched everywhere about this issue, tried changing the options in Nova Launcher , nothing worked. So i had to reset the phone to fix this annoying issue, than i wanted to give it another chance and install Apex Launcher this time, same issue, factory reset again; i was so pissed off that i renounced to try any other launcher but i really don't like google now launcher and i disabled it, now i even noticed that i cannot choose a non scrolling wallpaper with this awesome launcher, anyone else with my same experience? thanks for the help in advance.

Using Nova here, on latest update, no problems at all
I've tried many launchers in these days (Apex, Apus, Atom, EverythingMe, Aviate...) and home button worked on all of them
and I like Google Now Launcher :<

im with the same problem!!
Has anyone got any alternative launcher working on this, I don't like the big icons filling up my home screen and the app drawer.
Thanks in advance.
I have Nova installed and running for the same reason but as soon as I try to add a widget it crashes and reverts to stock launcher
Why not try Nova Launcher it has a lot of customisation options.
First thing I did was install Nova Launcher
Nova for me and I have not experienced any crashes with widgets.
Just installed newest Version Nova Prime and Tesla Unread. Works perfect
Using Action Launcher .
originally using Action launcher using an imported layout and it kept crashing, but since resetting layout it seems stable.
worst thing about huawei phones is how they manage launchers and keep forcing their launcher on you
try also the microsoft launcher...it's amazing... used nova before but it's so cute and minimalistic. I like it.
I'm using nova (prime) and a android p theme. I had a crash when adding widgets once, but now it works fine.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I have a paid version of Nova but it never occurred to me to try it first. I am using it now and I like it, will give the Microsoft launcher a try also.
cheers

It seems to be Huawei specific widgets that bork Nova.
Weather Underground is fine, the Huawei Weather widget really upsets Nova, I've had to wipe the app data just to get Nova to restart
I've submitted a crash report and dump to Tesla Coil, so let's see what happens
I think for emui, you need to use third parties widgets if using nova launcher. Some of the emui widgets will cause crash....
anyone using magisk could try and flash the pixel launcher, thats what i plan to do once i get the phone
really love the pixel launcher on my 5T

Hi there, did you do anything specific to get Action Launcher to work in the first place ? i installed and it just crashes immediately when i try and run it (i've sent a bug report to AL dev team).
No not really.
I reset cache
Completely uninstalled and then reinstalled
Been stable ever since
Sorry I can't be of any more help
I have been using Nova Launcher for years but have switched to Microsoft Launcher as of recent and I have to say that I really enjoy it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
P.S Just make sure to change default search engine from Bing back to Google and desactivate Cortana

Did the same for me no matter what I tried! Using nova now which I'm more than happy with
I use Lawnchair Launcher + Lawnfeed
Nova is pretty awful on the P20 looks like I will be changing away for the first time in years. Previously had on all my phones including the Pixel 2XL.
3rd party widgets just aren't auto-updating. Another Widget, was stuck on yesterdays event, Agenda Widget doesn't display my full calendar and just says "Loading" guess it's time to find something else. Looked at Microsoft Launcher but don't like the way you can't hide the homescreen indicator taking up space at the bottom and not looking clean like I want.
Pixel Launcher works great.
