Home Launcher Default won't stick - Epic 4G General

I'm rooted running the latest Quantum rom with ext4 support dk28.
I've noticed that my home launcher default won't stick. To replicate the issue...if I press my home button for several seconds to bring up my most recent app pop up, then close that and hit the home key I will get the pop up asking me what I would like my home defaul launcher to be. Anyone else having this issue?

Try home switcher in the market. Its free. It lets you pick which launcher you want as default.maybe that'll work.

Occasionally I have this problem too, but not recently.
You can also go into menu > settings > applications and up top hit "all" and find all of the launchers (one at a time) and click them, then clear defaults.. once you've completed this, pick the launcher you want to use as a default and see if you have better luck.
I use zeam and haven't had this problem in a week or two.

Froyo and homeswitcher/ launcherpro

Since upgrading to Froyo today on O2 my phone keeps defaulting to TWlauncher.
I have homeswitcher and can click set default on launcherpro and then click launch but as soon as I press the middle button at the bottom of the phone it goes back to tw launcher, can anyone help?
Think home switcher has issues with 2.2.
I've ripped tw out completely using titanium backup.
Or you will need to clear defaults on touchwiz in your app settings, next time you press home it should prompt you for what you want to launch.

That. I had the same issue when I upgraded, cleared the default, hit home and set LauncherPro as the default and haven't looked back

Long press problem

I recently updated to DJ05 with both Super Clean .9 and Stupid Fast (Whatever the newest is.) A day later,everything is working fine except when I try to longpress to move a shortcut or widget. I receive a small vibration but no ability to move. I'm using Adwlauncher, as well.
Does anyone know what could cause this?

I have noticed the new adw launcher has an option to lock the desk top. If u press the menu soft key it may say unlock desk top. Just something to try sounds like it may be the cause
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The latest ADW version kills long press. No idea why, it just does. Switch to LP or Touchwiz and you get the button back. Shortcut apps from the market have no effect. It caused me to buy LP+ and I regret not doing it sooner.
Lastly, this should be in general, not development.
ya if u mean voice search via long press of the search key it is messed up. However there is a work around for this as well. Double press the search key first to open the search then long press it to get to voice search. However in your original post it sounds more like the desktop is locked to me just unlock it and should be good

The desktop was indeed locked. Thank you guys.

If you press the home button you should have a choice to pick which launcher you want to use.

Key word: should. The whole point of this thread is that hitting the home key didn't give the option like it should have.
You could also go into app setting under default launcher and turn tw asus default off.
Happened to me before.

Go into your apps, hit the menu button, choose edit, find what other three apps you want and drag. Them into the bottom bar, hit menu and selete save.
And next time questions go in q&a.
Go into the app drawer, click menu, edit. Move whichever apps you want into the dock.

[Q] N10 Menu Question

This may be a dumb question but I'm new to the N10 and tablets and can't find the answer.
How come sometimes I can't get a menu to come up? For instance when I am in my launcher (Nova right now but it was the same on chameleon and others) I can't get into the launcher settings. Nova has a out-of-date 3 dot menu button that works around it but other apps don't.
Also in eye in the sky weather I can't access settings to change from C to F for the units. On my phonemic just hit the menu button and I'm there.
I'm on rootbox if that helps but I ran into the same thing when I was on stock.
I'm sure this is user error on my part but any help would be appreciated.

Not sure about nova. But with eye in the sky, the menu button is in the top right on the action bar. Its using the 4.0+ api so the menu button doesn't appear.

This is driving me nuts...there must be something I'm missing. I have no menu in anything that should have one.

you did a full wipe when you installed?
Edit 1. I think I figured it out you need to go to aokp settings > General UI and make sure that Show Menu UI Overflow is checked then restart your tablet and it shoud reappear.

This'll enable it for sure- I did the same thing on Rootbox when I put it on my tab.
