I installed ADW and LP to check them out, but disabled them temporarily (I thought) till the weekend when I'd have more time.
Now I am unable to get either LP or ADW to take over as the default launcher. Any ideas?

Go to settings, applications, manage applications. Then press menu and set filter to show all. Find twlauncher, open it, hit clear defaults button. And bam!

Isn't there a home switcher from the market that puts the shortcuts in your applications or home screen

Yeah, just search for "Home Switcher". Its a little app that scans all of the available UIs you have installed, you can switch effortlessly between them, and change which one is the default.

Stopped using touch wiz and switched to launcherpro as my default home app, reduced lag by a lot
I first installed this program and deleted it. Well now I decided I want it back but it doesn't show up in my apps drawer. It shows up in settings under manage apps but still no way to set it as my default. I sent the dev an email but never got a response. What do I do?

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. Then press Menu > List all apps. Fine "twlauncher" and clear defaults for it.

Go to Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Press menu button (left bottom) - select filter -select running - go down to the bottom TwLauncher - Click clear defaults - press home buttom.
It will ask you what you want to use as your default.
Delete and reinstall it and it should ask to set as default when you press home

Yeah, TouchWiz is quite lagly at the moment.
I use home switcher app to switch from touch wiz, launcher pro or ADW. Its a great app to switch home replacements quick.

Fantastic! Thanks
I use Launcherpro and I think it is the best home replacement... better than Open Home which I used in the past...
LauncherPro Plus is KING! Can't wait for it's new widgets within the next few weeks.
can anyone tell me how to set or remove app/program defaults please?
unsure what you mean be app defaults. If you mean to change preferences and settings that affect specific app functions, then i'd first try the menu button while the app is open and in focus. It's the capacitive button to the left of the physical home button below the screen.

settings -> applications -> Manage Applications -> (select app) -> clear defaults.
will remove that program from being automatically selected for a particular action.
i.e. homebutton's homescreen, or the program used for internet links, etc.

I downgraded to 4.1.2 because my Nexus was getting crazy lag, and now it's smooth and lovely again. Anyway, everything is fine except for the constant popups to upgrade to 4.2. What's the easiest way to disable that?

If you have installed System Tuner, you can make this go away.
On System Tuner -> select System (the one with the red android icon) -> scroll down and select Google Services Framework -> tap Details button (the one with the magnifying glass icon) -> scroll down to Services subsection -> uncheck update.SystemUpdateService -> close System Tuner -> restart.
Hope this helps
Well that totally worked and wasn't too hard. So far the thing I only miss about 4.2 is that new clock app with world time, stopwatch, timer. I wonder if I could find that somewhere

You can fix the lag on 4.2.1 as well, pretty easy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012756

Thanks for the information. I've been looking for something to do the exact thing for me.
Press the home button brings up a list of recent apps... simple and straightforward. However I would like to know if there is a way to disable that function or prevent specific apps from appearing in the list.
Any ideas??
It's a built in feature into Android, not (Im)possible. However you'd probably have to dog thru the code and edit it heavily.. If it'd even work that is.

Xposed Installer + App Settings module
-> find the app you want to mask in the recent apps
-> Enable modification to the app
-> Show in recents -> Disable
You can do a lot of stuff with Xposed :good:
I have the screen pinning feature enabled but when I tap the pin icon on recent menu, nothing happens, the app doesn't get pinned. Is the feature working for any of you?
To enable: Settings -> More -> Security and scroll down to the bottom where you'll find an option "Pin Windows"
PS: I'm on Android 5.0.1 build ending with HOD3, Stock Lollipop
No its not working here also... I don't think they have activated it hope the micro update will fix it
Which rom ru using??
Screen pinning is not made available on stock touchwiz rom...
Im using @frapeti 's CM12.1 rom with lollipop 5.1.1 sources
Screen pinning works der...
And no unpinning problems at all
Give a try to it....
You'll love it
Settings --> my device --> accessibility --> dexterity and interaction --> interaction control (enable). Then just go into an app you want to pin and hold vol - and home button at the same time and select "done". To unpin do the same thing. (NOTE: You need to disable multi-window for this to work)

Thanks for the tip. I was just wondering why the native Lollipop Pinning isn't working on stock lollipop.
