TouchWiz won't stay on by default!

Randomly when I hit the home buttn I am prompted with the option touchwiz or home. I can pick either on while checking the load default and it still asks again a few min later. What am I missing?

That's a first, never had that happen.
Have you recently installed any User interface programs like ADW launcher or launcher pro?
How about any programs in general.. please be a little more specific.
Welcome to the forums!

It only happens to me when I hold the home botton and bring up the task manager. When I hit the home botton again it prompt me to choose the launcher.

Try getting home switcher from the market and tell it to set touchwiz home as you default. See if that works.

I Will try and load my appbrain list but no to launchers. Just goole stuff and a couple widgets.

I can't post links yet so check out appbrain user: ErlyD I have no launcher apps and I did try that home launcher app recommended. But still have the problem.

Sgs tools and you go to the bottom menu and choose which launcher you want and bam! Launcher is set to default. I'm using 2.2 quantum and confirm it works.

Does my epic have to be rooted? I ran the app and set it yet still get the problem. It randomly asks when I hit home. Each time I set default then select touchwiz.

Will factory reset help with this problem? What other way can I reset clean?

I'm having this same issue!
I tried Home Switcher and Home Manager...same exact symptoms.

Download sgs tools from market. Install. Go to bottom menu upgrade stock apps, then choose laucner you want and follow instructions from there, easy fix.

Edit: this only works on rooted phones, I'm sorry if I miss read the problem.

Bottom option is:
.prop editor

I've looked over SGS Tools, over and over again. I do not understand where the option to make this fix is.
Could you give more specific instructions? Thanks!

Same here only .prop editor do we have to be rooted? To use this correctly?

I think I got a fix. I went to manage apps and cleared defaults on touchwiz but also cleared tw data. It sucked cause my icons and everything else I took the time to setup cleared but after rebuilding it seems to be working. Been about an hour now and the menu hasn't popped up.

Sorry guys I must have been way too blazed I swear I read that you guys had the froyo beta and had this problem, as I did have this issue. But it seems some of you are dealing with this on stock, without root and this will only work if you have root.

I believe that this issue is related to the installation of a certain application. As a matter of fact, I uninstalled several applications after going on a few downloading sprees (yeah, I get bored and have money burning a hole in my PayPal account) in hopes of fixing the issue, to no avail.
Otherwise, could it possibly be related to a glitch caused by setting a certain number of icons or widgets on the homescreen, causing the launcher's data to interfere with its default settings?
Either way, I took ErlyD's advice, cleared the data, and will rebuild my homescreens in hopes it won't happen again. Or else I will figure out what causes it.

I would love to follow his advice, but TouchWiz isn't listed in my manage applications list...what the heck!
Actually, none of the stuff that came installed is listed....nascar, amazon, etc.
Where do I find these?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Okay...found it via running programs.
Cleared data.
Didn't solve my problem.
Crap.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

It failed. Sorry for the trouble it lasted longer than before though. I went a few hrs before it popped up. I am going to have to start uninstalling apps to see what happens.

Will NOT Keep Defaults for Home Button

So...my Epic continually asks me to choose my default home program every time I press the home button.
It asks me to either pick HOME or TWLauncher. So I installed DxTop Pro...now I have 3 to pick from everytime!
I tried Home Switcher and Home Manager - neither of them keep the default home screen either.
It doesn't always clear the default. I have tracked it down to when I press and hold the home button down until the task manager comes up. Once those 6 most recent programs pop up...my default home screen is cleared out.
I tried downloading the samsung task manager apk that I found on xda and installing it...didn't solve the problem.
So, I open it up to you all for ideas.
I could hard reset, but I know the moment I finish setting it back up...the new official ROM will come out and I'll have to do it all again!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Uh when you choose your homescreen when it gives you the option of the three, do you make sure the check box at the bottom of the popup is checked off...?

Just checking lol. Which launcher are you trying to run as default and which ROM/Kernel/etc you running?
Sent from my Epic 4G using XDA app

Sgs tools from the market will fix this.

Edit: this does require root, sorry not for stock issues.

I'm on the stock Epic ROM from Sprint. Never rooted.
I was running the default TouchWiz, but once this began I started using DxTop Pro to see if it would correct the issue...it did not.
I'm still using DxTop Pro because I liked it better.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Did you ever get a fix? I hve same problem. Since I got my epic. On 11/17 touchwiz crashed rebooted and it started. I run stock and have never even rooted. I have done nothing to this device. I'm on appbrain user ErlyD if you want to see my app list. Also tried home switcher and sgs tools (which by the way the menus last options are .prop editor, I say this cause I was told to select an option at the bottom of sgs that would fix it. An option I don't have.)
Anything would help. Starting to not like this. Its happening to often. No matter what I select home or tw and set to default. It will eventually pop up again. As for task managers I fin my self using only samsungs version to avoid any issues from popping up.

Check my post on another topic I had started about this. I might have found fix.

Did not work. I have started removing apps to see what might have caused it. Doing things slowly.

Just got Hd2 question

Hey guys just got my Hd2 and I asked the seller to put lastest sense on which he did it is on nand but the graphical glitches annoy me and I am playing with this phone (I am on Verizon) so I don't need data working just a non graphicl sense rom and how.to flash over this rom
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Seeing as how you have such a high post count I'd have expected you to have read up on the how to's. >.>
Anyways, opinions aside, you need to elaborate. For example which version of sense, what rom, bootloader (cLK or MAGLDR?), etc.
Also please elaborate on what you're looking for. When you say graphical glitches, do you mean "animation" glitches? Or do you mean like some things don't appear right, say the lockscreen looks messed up, or the notification bar looks wrong, etc. If it's "animation" then go to settings, display then you'll see animations and you can turn them off. Or you can download spare parts and use that to turn them off.
Anyways a basic all working sense rom is cotulla's stock desire. It's not rooted however, but you can easily root it with z4root. Or you can try imika's desire z/hd builds.

True I tried to understand how I am on a Verizon fascinate so its much easier to put find so I am stuck on trying to understand.
And what I mean by graphical glitches is that the screen in random parts there are gray scrambled bits like on a old tv

Which build are you using? Well doesn't matter which build it guess since its causing problems. Anyways are you using clk or MAGLDR?
If you're using clk then your phone should be able to charge whilst you're phone us off. To enter cwm, I think it's hold home key while you turn on the phone, which I'm guessing you're familiar with.cwm already so just flash a different rom from there.
If you're using MAGLDR, your phone should go to a menu when you turn on the phone and hold the power button. In that menu navigate to ad clockwork and that will take you to cwm. Another way to flash time through MAGLDR is through usb flasher, but may only work if the build you downloaded came with a daf. exe or something similar.

Anyone else get odd behavior when both volume buttons held down simultaneously?

Pressing both volume buttons on my N7 at the same time seems to peg the CPU causing really bad performance for about a minute. A little later on, a blank email pops up with a screenshot and system dump attached. The email has no to address.
I also get a bunch of notifications from superuser that Shell has been denied root.
Does anyone else see this? Trying to figure out if it's a CM issue or a JB issue or what. Any help appreciated.

Just tried this and it does the same for me.

Mine does nothing...
I'm stock

Seems like some debug feature built into the rom then.

Does the same on a stock (rooted) HTC Sensation running ICS. I get a vibration, then the CPU lags for around 2 minutes, then I get 2/3 short vibrations.
Some people think it's CM related, it isn't, I haven't had CM anywhere near this phone.

It is dev feature. It is creating a log which can be found in a folder on the sdcard
Can't remember exactly what It's called now but it's the same on the one x

Just had a look through the developer options, can't see anything for generating a log. Would be useful if you could find out what it was called.
I was otherwise unable to reproduce (no log on my SD card either, in-case it's an "always on feature), however I did just install the updated drivers.

It won't be in dev options, the Nexus S has something similar to this, that pressing a key while booting will activate this logging thing and can't be turned off, that's what this sounds like to me

Metro Stuff Gone

Hi! I've got Windows 8 Pro via one of the hospitals here in Norway, and it almost works like a charm ... Some of my important tiles like the Desktop-tile and Windows Store-tile is gone. Even the Metro PC Settings is gone. When I try to open it via the Charms Bar, nothing happens. I've had a look in the Start-Menu folder under Programs, and the shortcuts are there. So I tried to find the Shortcuts in the Windows Folder, which I succeded with, but I can't copy them in there. I get a message who says that The Operation can't be done, because the file I was trying to replace is in use by another application. I've also tried to open the Shortcuts from the original folder, without success, except the PC Settings shortcut, which only opens the normal Control Panel. So it's kinda frustrating. I've made myself a shortcut to the desktop which I placed on the Metro Page, but I really want the store and settings to work. So, does anybody know how to replace those .lnk file, or have another fix that' not resetting/refreshing Windows (that would be my very last option, as I lose my settings)
Hope someone can give me some help

I'm assuming it's a work computer. If so, it's based on how the computer was set up by your IT department. I would contact whatever people within your organization are in charge, but they have probably set the computer up that way on purpose.

Actually, no, it isn't a work computer. I know a guy at the hospital who work with IT, and I knew he had earlier tried the previews, so when I was at RTM, I asked him which version he had, and then, he sendt the .iso file for both 32 & 64bit versions... So it is my private computer...

That's pretty strange then. Is this a fresh install, or have you been using it for a bit?

This may be a simple answer but its worth asking in case you didn't think of it. Have you just unpinned them from the start menu? ie if you can launch the start screen can you type desktop or store and they come up? If so you can right click and pin to desktop.

I upgraded from Win7, but I've only kept data. I've refreshed it one time. I've not unpinned the tiles, and they won't come up as an search result when I search for them

to be clear, when you searched for them you just tapped the win key to bring up the tiles then typed desktop?
you don't need to click or do anything other than win key and type

Yup! The only thing that comes up is my self-made shortcut for showing the desktop. Very strange, I think...
