This is probably a dumb question (I'm likely overlooking an obvious setting), but I've been running LP for a while on Froyo. I've now downloaded the ota GB, and would like to check out the stock home screen, but can't figure out how to temporarily turn off LP.
In my experience the only way is to uninstall it or freeze in TB.

Home switcher app in the market. You can set your stock one as default if you wish and still keep LP on.

I can't get the home switcher app to make the home my default. It just force closes everytime I try. If I uninstall LP can I reinstall it without buying it?
i got home switcher and no issues, i think there is 2 versions of search home switcher

You sure can. Backup your settings in it first, or use titanium backup to back the whole thing up. You could also try homesmack to change the default launcher.

Yes, you can re-download and install from Market!
Answer to your first question: Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Launcher Pro -> Clear Defaults!

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
I've tried unistalling and re-installing Launcher pro but I don't get the option to select TW or LP when i hit the home key. I forced TW to stop and cleared data but is still goes back to TW when pressing home.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Restart the device.
tried that. still no luck...
Unistall then reinstall

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.

I rooted my M and installed the original leaked JB from Moto the day it was available. Today I installed Safestrap 3.07 and created a backup of my current image. Done deal, works fine.
The weird problem is that my launcher doesn't stay active any longer. I use Smart Launcher Pro and have been for a while. Once I rebooted, created a backup with SS, then the default launcher came up and I can't change it.
Any ideas? Silly issue, but if I'm doing something incorrect, I need to know so I don't keep either making the same mistake or become increasingly frustrated trying to work it out.
Thanks folks.
Figured it out. Undefaulted the home screen in Apps cache and made super launcher default.

Can you tell me how to do that? I am having the same issue.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Running
Click on "Show Cached Programs" in the upper right corner
Find Home Screen and click it. then find the Cache section of the app and clear it
Then when you go back to the home screen, a dialogue box will pop up asking you which program you want to use as a launcher. Select what you want and click "Always".
Worked like a champ for me, hope it does for you.
Hey guys,
Whenever I restart my phone (or turn it on), a dialog pops up asking me to select my default launcher. I select it and press always.
The next time I turn on my phone, the same popup appears even though I selected always.
How come the defaults aren't sticking?
Thanks in advance.

More information may be needed...
Are you rooted or not? If rooted, what ROM are you running?
Also helpful; Does this happen for all app defaults or just the launcher and if just the launcher, which one are you trying to make default?

I am not rooted.
It only appears to be the launcher. I am setting it to be the Standard Launcher (as opposed to the Easy Mode).
Try:
Manage Apps => Reset app preferences

Nope, didn't work.
When I power on the device, I get the following popup "Complete action using" and I have Easy Launcher and TouchWiz home. I select the latter and tap always. This doesn't hold though the next time I power on my device.

You could remove TouchWiz Home with TiBu, then it has no choice but to use Easy Launcher.

Easy launcher is on the GS4 by default (correct me if I'm wrong).

Yes Easylauncher is preinstalled by default.

Do a test... Get nova or apex... See if they stick... Then you'll know if its a launcher issue... Whether or not they get saved to the launcher or the ROM...
The issue still persists. I know that other people have had this problem.
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.
