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

Home Launcher Default won't stick

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.

Double tap home button to open GNow?

Is it possible to open Google now instead of crappy s voice when you double tap the home button? I've tried home2 but it's not a great solution. Eventually my phone started redrawing my launcher when going back to the homescreens.

Yes .
Of course.
Use wanam xposed.
Yiu can select any app you want

Not sure if you're using any other launcher, but Nova lets you do this

In wanam all I see is an option to change the longpress behavior. It does open gnow, but I have no way to open recents with that function reassigned.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've used Nova, I just don't like it personally.

[Q] Launcher Troubles...

Hey guys. Just wanted to bring up an issue I have had with my phone. Anytime I install a new launcher I have the same issue. When pressing the "Home" button my phone constantly (80% of the time) asks me which launcher I want to use, Touchwiz or (currently) Aviate. Eventhough I select Aviate > Always. It still does this to me. Even if I uninstall the app it still pops up and asks "TouchWiz or TouchWiz Easy" and it continues to do this until I factory reset my phone. Which is a pain. Has anyone else had this issue?

Tried rebooting after selecting Always?

Are you downloading a launcher from the play store? You should be able to go into settings and set new as default or go to factory app manager and find Touchwiz home app in list and click it there u can clear defaults on it

I went into the Default Applications and set Aviate as default, hit home button, and the same issue... And yes I did get this from Play Store. But again, it's happened with any launcher I tried on JB and KK.
Seems to be working atm. I'll update you if it changes.

Touch wiz problem

Hello everyone! Does anyone know how to fix this problem when pressing the home button I get this screen that ask you if you wanna switch between Touch wiz easy Or home. I got it to the default app in setting and choose Touch Wiz Home and the press the home button once. It seems to come back after awhile.
Please help
Thank you!

When the choices come up select touchwiz home and then press always.

something is breaking your defaults then. uninstall things that manage your settings.

Not sure but I reset the phone and it still does it

could be a bug in the version rom you have, try an older or newer version?
