How i change the default launcher?

Hello, i need to change my default launcher, in my rom its comes with Launcher Pro by default, and i want to integrate with Go Launcher instead, but, to be used to default when i install the by Open Recovery, and i removed the Launcher Pro. Any file i need to change to make the Go Launcher the default launcher ?
Thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you did. But if you installed GO Launcher and then removed Launcher Pro, as soon as you reboot GO Launcher will be the home app.
Or, if you have both installed, you could go into Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->LauncherPro and then hit "Clear defaults" in the "Launch by default" section. Reboot and when phone comes up it will ask you to select which launcher to use (you can mark the checkbox to make it default).

no, i want to make these change directly from the zipped rom. Not when i install this ROM.

Just remove launcherpro.apk ( or whatever it is called ) from /system/app and replace it with the go launcher.apk

Thanks. I will try this.
You know how i can set too the configurations of apps and system by default too. For example, set by default to accept install of unknow sources, Jit disabled, etc. ?

Try removing it through Applications > All. If not, remove it from system/app using Root Explorer.

default launcher

I downloaded & installed the ADW launcher ex from the playstore.
I am having a problem setting it as the default app.
the stock kindle launcher is set as default, but when I go to the application menu and scroll down to were it says "launch by default",it says "no defaults set".
I have tried using several different home switcher apps, but they do not recognize that the ADW launcher is installed.

Did you try installing the launcher as a system app? Reboot, then it will upgrade and you should be able to select the default.

this wont matter. All you have to do is make it a system app. you can do this several ways. The easiest way for me is to download ROM toolbox, App Manager>HOLD down on ADWLauncher EX>Convert to system app. then when you press the home button itll ask to set default launcher. select adw and BOOM! Default Launcher = ADW . hope this helps ya.

[Q] About Customizing Stock ROM

Hello. I am using Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, N7000ZSLR1, Android 4.1.2 Hong Kong version. There are something I am not quite satisfied with the ROM, I have rooted my device with Chinese one key root app so I wonder if there are some ways to customize the ROM.
1.　The first thing is Notification screen. In this Android 4.1.2, when you pull it down, the shortcuts at the top will first display the tiles in picture 1, then it will automatically swipe to picture 2:
Picture 1:
Picture 2:
Is there any method that can modify / remove tiles at the top? Or at least make it like picture 2 in default when I pull down, no swiping.
2.　In this ROM, the Task Manager no longer display in app drawer like Android 2.3.6, instead I need to long press Home button to go to "Recent App" screen and tap the pie chart icon at the lower left corner to open Task Manager. I'm curious, the system app is in \system\app, and it IS an .apk. So I wonder if I can at least make a shortcut from it and add to "Home Screen", I always need to use it and I don't want to download third party app for this shortcut.
Recent Apps screen:
View in ES File Explorer:
3.　The default Launcher in the stock ROM is TouchWizHome, and by default there are no indication when you tap an icon to open the app. So I wonder if I can add some "effect" to notify me when I open an app, like dim the icon or glow at the edge of icon.
4.　If you are a Titanium Backup user, please tell me that should I wipe system apps' data first before uninstall it. Because it always gives me a feeling of "unclean" if I don't wipe the data before uninstall it. I always uninstall system app to keep my phone slimmer and faster.
Thank you in advance.

first, to change anything with the user interface aka UI your rom must be deodexed, so you need to create a deodexed rom from this rom or look for it in a chinease android forum (defnitely you will find it).
once your rom is deodexed, you can flash one of AryaMod or Sweet rom mods to change the interface, i think most of them will work because of the same framework but make a full backup because they might not work.
if you only need to change the order of quick toggles in the notification panel i think you can do it from settings >> display
or you can make your own mods following one of the awesome guides in this forum but that will take you time and you may face bootloops

How about question 2 and 4?

2/ i think there is a resizable widget of the task manager, all you have to do is place it in your home screen and when you click on it it will open the task manager. i have no idea about how to make the task manager appear in the app drawer but sure there is a way to do it.
4/ yes i always use titanium backup to backup and restore my non-cloud-based apps but not from and to different android version. never restore for example apps that were backed up on jellybean to kitkat or any other android version cuz this will cause force-close and other problems. whenever you are going to install new rom just wipe /preload and /system (/data partition will be wiped automatically when you make wipe data - factory reset) this way you will leave no trace of old system apps data, config, cache or anything.
don't uninstall system apps just freeze them using titanium backup or directly from app settings if you are on ics or above. if you removed an important system app like google contact sync that you may think not important you may get force-close, unmounted storage, ui crash all the time and similar problems.
Hope i helped you

2/ ...Yes you think, but there is not, if it has then I'll place it at home screen from the start... I just want to know how to make that system app have a shortcut icon...
4/ But won't uninstall create more space for my system? I mean frezzing them will still occupy some space right?

It is just a safety procedure. Freeze the app and use your phone for a few days. If nothing funny happens go ahead and uninstall it to reclaim the space.
If you are absolutely sure the particular app you want to uninstall will not be needed anymore just uninstall it without going thru the freeze time.

Can I remove Qslide apps?

I'm running v10c stock firmware, debloated and tweaked. Anyone know how can I remove it?

Yes, root the phone, install link2sd and you will be able to remove all the system apps.

I'm really sorry, I didn't realize just how unspecific I was. What I meant was: in systemUI, I want to remove the qslide shortcuts that are on the drop-down notification drawer, and not the apps.

drop down the menu and slide all the way to the right side where is the edit button.
in there uncheck the qslide and you are done, you can also choose what else to show in the dropdown menu there or even change which appears first, second etc

[Guide] Enable Google Now feed on OnePlus 7t Pro stock launcher

Thought i'd share how i enabled Google Feed on the stock OnePlus launcher that ships with the phone.
Edit: I assume this will work on any OnePlus device running stock launcher 4.1.0.xxx or 4.1.1.xxx
This requires Magisk Root and you willl have to wipe data for OnePlus Launcher after installing the Magisk Module.!
@aer0zer0 over on the OnePlus 7t forum has made a updated module for the stock launcher version 4.1.1.xxx, making below steps redundent.
If you have the latest OnePlus stock launcher 4.1.1.xxx, simply head over to this post and grab the Magisk Module linked, manually install with Magisk, reboot and you should be good.
After downgrading the OnePlus Launcher i had issues using Navigation gestures, i suggest changing navigation mode to Buttons & Gestures - Navigation bar & gestures - Back, Home, Recents for the downgrade process. You can re-enable Gesture navigation afterwards.
Steps:
Open the Play Store and search for OnePlus Launcher
Tap the OnePlus Launcher that is installed on your phone and tap Uninstall to downgrade the version
Once uninstalled, head to settings and find the OnePlus Launcher, verfiy you are on version 4.1.0.xxx
If you are on 4.1.1.xxx this will not work!​
Head over to this thread and download the Magisk Module in the OP.
Install the module manually in Magisk Manager and reboot your phone
Edit2: You obviously do not have to downgrade the stock launcher if you're already on version 4.1.0.xxx
You should now be able to activate the google feed by heading into your launcher settings (Tap and hold the home screen, select Home settings) and tapping Leftmost screen, and selecting Google app.
Enjoy!

Dont have that option "Leftmost screen".

What version is your launcher?
Delete data/cache for the launcher and check again.

Cleared cache but no success. If clear data going to lost all my settings and also delete my profiles so won't do it.

Pretty sure you'll have to wipe data. I'll update the OP.

Ok i did it, whiped data before that backed up settings via TB, steel no profit... There's no Leftmost screen option. I'm with Mclaren, does it matter?

Go the play store page for the OP launcher and hit uninstall, then update. That should fix it

Did it, now got force close and im unable to to deal with... I think going to use msm tool and reinstall whole device. Tried reinstall with OTA but no luck, also tried via TB to restore old data i app... Screw it again, now from scratch... sh.t

The update that dropped for 7t today has 4.1.1.1125 in system/app. Things should work alot better going forward
