Way to make launcher shortcut in launcher?

I'm using SlideScreen and I love it. The only problem I have is getting back to the original home screen to access my power widget. I have to either
a) change the wifi/bluetooth/GPS settings manually or
b) goto app settings -> manage apps -> slidescreen -> clear defaults
Anycut failed to make a shortcut to "launcher" in the launcher. It only makes it a shortcut on the homescreen. Is there a way to make an icon for launcher/home in the actual launcher??? Or is there an app that is like the power widget that I can install?
Thanks in advance

inb4 "yo dawg I heard u like launchers so I put a launcher in your luancher" jokes haha

Android Homescreen

Hello,
can i change to Launcher Pro when i install it on Froyostone Sense Build? And another question, how can i change homescreen layout for example from launcher pro to sense when i set one of them as default?

hehe, i just had same question and found the answer of course using "search"
search for "Home Switcher" in market and you can choos between Sense, LauncherPro (if installed of course) and Android default...

If you have any app set as default (Home replacement, Browser, SMS/chat client) You can clear this information by going to Settings > Applications > manage Applications > "Default App Name" > Clear Defaults

[Q] How to change launcher

I have Installed 3 launchers: GoLauncher, ADW Launcher and LauncherPRO (I think). Nao I'm using golaucher but I want to change to ADW. How?

There are 2 main ways (assuming you've set GO Launcher as default). Either download the app 'Home Switcher' from the Android market or go to Settings>manage applications> GO Launcher EX> Clear defaults (NOT Data) then press home and select ADW (and set it as default if you want)

Just press the Home-button and you should get the option to chose from all your launchers. If the option screen does not appear, go to Settings -> Apps -> GO Launcher EX -> Clear default settings (or something like that), then press the Home-button. Now you should get the option screen.

Launcher Switcher (from the market) works very well also, fwiw.

uninstall one of them，and reinstall that one，press home，u can see the launcher menu..

You can go to setting > apps > manage application > choose go launcher > clear default and press home, you will see launcher can be use,,,

Home Switcher. Simple and effective

How to DEactivate default launcher and activate APEX launcher as default?

Hi there,
I got mine yesterday, very fine at least.
BUT, for me it´s not possible to DEactivate the default stock launcher and to activate the APEX Launcher as default.
I´ve installed apex, restored all my settings from old phone, that works.
But each time I left the menue, the app drawer, whatsever I´m back in the stock launcher and I have to select apex launcher manually.
In the settings menue there is no option to set apex as default
In the apex settings menue there is an option to select the default launcher, BUT there is only the stock launcher selectable, apex is not even listed as an option.
Any ideas to solve that?
Actual stock rom installed, play store and google apps, all is running fine, but not the launcher

You have to go to "Settings" then "Apps" and down on the middle side is "Default Apps" then you select "Launcher" and set the one you want as Standard.

Go to settings. Then apps. In the bottom you Will see default apps. Go in. In launcher you can select of all you have. I have the original, google launcher, pixel and Nova.

Anyone know if lock screen notifications is working on the one plus 5. I'm using nova launcher with all the setting on, but I'm not getting lockscreen notifications... Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Yes it works. Go to settings-> Notifications-> Click on Nova Launcher (whichever launcher you use). Change the settings here to your preference.

Try changing:
Security & fingerprint -> Device administrator and tick Nova Launcher.
Advance-> Accessibility -> (see if any nova launcher related services are present)
P.S. Change to stock launcher for a while and see if that works.

Try going into phone settings -> Apps -> Nova Launcher -> Notifications and check the settings there.
