I had a great emmc root but screwed up this morning by pushing the Home option and having it as the default. Now I can't figure out how to get back to the Zeam Launcher. Help.
Fixed it by finding another launcher and installing it.
The same thing happened to me. I keep a launcher apk in my dropbox so I can access it from the web interface if it happens to me again.
I use Nova launcher, and I can just access that through the app drawer (push vol+ and tap apps on B&N apps page). Then I can make it the home launcher again. I think Zeem is in the app drawing too, no?
Another way to go is to search for the Google Play app in the browser. Then click the Google Play link and have it open Google Play by default. Then you can either find another launcher (like ADW) or go into your apps there and open a launcher.
My kindle fire hd is running golauncher ex as the home, and i use "My Kindle Wallpaper"(app) to change the wallpaper.
The wallpaper continuously crashes...
Is there a better background app?
Is there a way to stop the crashes?
Also, can I change my lock screen? (side ques.)
Your two separate posts should be in the QandA section.
If you copy Gallerygoogle.apk into you system/apps folder and set permissions for rw- r-- r-- and restart the kindle without installing the app. After booting you should be able to open the Gallery app and find the image you want and set and crop it for the background as you normally would.
You can change you lockscreen, there is a thread about it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101564 Though they are
There is no app just to change the lockscreen wallpaper.

As for the lock screen, are you rooted?
If yes then go here.

After that's set up, go to play store and search for lockers. I use widget locker.
Good Luck.
I've installed the kindle wallpaper changer suggested above. When I select single image it ask if I want to crop the picture. Which I do cause it's zooming the picture. But when I select it ..a error msg says unable to find crop program. Any suggestions plz?
So, my Kindle Fire HD 7 is not rooted, but I've sideloaded Google Playstore and used the Launcher Hijack program to have Apex Launcher as the default launcher. But now I can't put widgets on the desktop. Everytime I try, it sends me to the tablet's settings screen. What setting needs to be changed to use widgets?
Hi all,
What is the best launcher to install ?
The two things I want are to be able to hide apps, and to have to swipe up to access app drawer as opposed to having an icon for it.
I have tried a couple but the p20 original launcher always ends up taking over. Or with the Lawn launcher for some reason I could add the time/weather widget.
Thanks
Try Ruthless pixel launcher from XDA labs. (If it crashes go to settings and enable storage permission; Bug with pixel launchers on huawei phones)

Cheers, can you remove the Google search bar at bottom screen or is that there all the time? If so I'll download later!

Silly questions then.
I can't find in the settings:
Get rid of Google assistant on home page, and hide the useless apps in the app drawer I don't want to see?
Cheers!

It's right there in dock settings. "Bottom search bar" Disable the feed in the bottom of "At a glance" settings.
To hide apps simply long press, edit and tick hide app icon.

On the at a glance I only have the attached. And long pressing an app only gives me app info or some generic options?
Long press the homescreen to access settings. You sure you got the right app?

Apparently not ha.
I have now, cheers! Does the date at the top pick up the weather when it syncs or will I need to download a new widget for date and weather in one?
Also how do you go about downloading different icon packs that will work with the launcher ?
Thanks for your help
Nova, Evie...there are many out there but these are my favorites. Huawei widgets don't seem to work on any custom launcher.
Evie Launcher has been my favorite for a really long time and matches both of your requirements. Plus, the ability to change Icon pack not only by pack but also one by one is a big plus. Smooth, clean and minimalistic and has a couple of cool features.

For me the best launcher which i always go back to is LawnChair and it's Google feed add-on.
It's a lot like the Pixel launcher but has a lot more settings.
Icon size, theming, weather provider, gestures, app hiding etc.
It's rapid too and fluid, and it's free
Make sure the launcher is set as the default one, if the 2nd launcher in use crashes then the only thing the system can do is revert back, if you're using lawnchair, use the latest version.
I have it installed and mine never reverts back.
Another way would be if you were rooted you could freeze the original launcher in titanium.
CPL wins hands down.

Late to the party
Most customizable. No contest
Total launcher.

Steep learning curve though
Long time on my previous phones I used Nova and Apex launcher. For 2 years now I am using Microsoft Launcher which supports icon notifications for free and I must say I'm still returning to it. I tried Evie launcher on my P20 Pro but for some reason it consumed the battery a lot. Microsoft launcher does not consume battery at all (always like 1 mAh <), its fast and stable, modern looking but different compared to "stock android looking" launchers.

I use Nova Launcher, as it gives me everything I need. If you have problems with reverting to the stock launcher you can try to lock the new launcher in resent
See this screen recording to know how
keeps on recovery from crashing all the time, ive changed the permissions as stated above as well
I use Nova, bought the prime when it was on sale awhile back for $0.50
Nova forever,
For every app I install from Play Store, it also puts an app on the home screen. It is a mess. I'd rather start with a blank slate and copy the icons I want on the home screen (as well as make folders).
I can't seem to figure out how to remove the icon. I found the options to rename the icon or uninstall, but I can't find an option to simply remove the icon.
Appreciate any guidance on this. I know I could switch to Nova or something, but I'd like to stick to the Rog launcher if I can.
Drag the icon to the top of screen - there should be a delete/ "X" in top area of screen (might turn red if dragged to correct area) - should then be able to delete the icon (I am on Nova, but I think stock launcher worked this way).

I actually like the Asus launcher as well. It kinda grew on me. So long press on home screen, preference, then look for this option. "Add icon to home screen". Don't have it checked. You can also lock the home screen as well.
