Hi all! I installed romanian orange rom bvkj4, which contains crappy apps and a launcher selector app, along with an orange launcher. i select touchwiz to be my launcher, but when i press the menu button, the launcher selector appears and then i have to select touchwiz again. What can i do? I could delete that app, but i unrooted the phone.

Why? Root it and delete the launcher that you don't want, then it shouldn't ask which one do you want to use as default.

Doesn't it give you the option of setting default launcher?
When you press home-button. it should come up with a pop up for all launchers installed, including a box to tick for the launcher preference...

Sure.. xP Install other launcher like adw launcher, uninstall the launcher pro, reboot and then install the full launcher pro
now you can uninstall the adw launcher..
Thanks, but the problem is, that the LP and Adw are in my case system aplications. When i'm trying use the adw and delete LP option "uninstall app" is unavailable.
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
You have to uninstall system aplications with Titanium Backup.
You can also delete if from Root Explorer in \system\app
It is absolutely necessary to install another launcher because if you just delete it, you won't be able to use your phone.
Thanks for replies. I've tried both of operations with no succeed;/

No succeded? That's weird.. xD
Use Root Explorer, mount rw and go the to \system\app.. now you can delete launcher pro and after installing launcher pro plus, the adw to..
I've tried this way. After delete i've tried to install LPP, but then jump out a massage that is the system apk and am I sure that I want to replace it. When I click "Yes" installation is in progress, after a while shows, that aplication can't be installed.

Hi, I just updated to the Gingerbread leak, and I was restoring my previous apps, when I load a couple of homescreens, now I can't get the stock launcher back. I actually kinda like the stock launcher, and want it back. Is this possible?
Couldn't you get Home Switcher from the market and select it to launch default from there?

I can launch it, but not set it as the default home
If you're able to launch it, could you:
Open Home Switcher.
Launch the GB home.
Once launched, press the softkey home button and check the "launch as default" box?
Sorry, I didn't flash GB yet so I'm just throwing out some ideas. Not sure why you couldn't set as default in home switcher?

The reason I asked was that it wasn't present in the default home lists. And I kinda accidentally uninstalled it, so now it's gone. I guess I'll stay with LauncherPro/ADW.
can any of you guys upload a system dump of this rom please?
Pretty sure you can just extract the apk you need from the leaked gb rom zip file.

I did that, it didn't work. I tried moving the files. It didn't work. I tried installing it. It didn't work. I tried rebooting, it didn't work.
You could probably reinstall the GB leak without wiping and that should reinstall the launcher properly for you.
hello ,
can somebody please help ..I am using CM7 AmeriCanAndroid 051211 build and it happened may be due to my fault that i used the old data.img from the previous version. i set my launcher pro as default and it started crashing . I need to set it back to AWD Laucher so that i can atleast get the options to work on the problem.
The launcher pro is crashing but I am sure AWD launcher will work fine .. Please let me know a way to either go the the settings menu or any way where i can atleast start my phone.
download this
install it with droid exploer
press your home buttom
select awd
update it.
done.
thank-you much...
for future reference when something like this happens, you go into settings/applications/manage applications and search for the app you set to default, or the launcher app, open it and clear defaults, then in your case you press the home button and it will ask you again which launcher you want to use, and you could've selected AWD launcher.
so what if you can't access the phon's settings sincs everything just keeps crashing?
as a last ditch, you can boot to recovery and format the data partition. that has all of your settings so, you will have to go through the first run setup, but that should fix your problem if it's just a setting issue.
good luck.
Hi, I've rebooted my phone after installing some ringtones from a .zip file through recovery mode. And now, my chosen default Pure Breeze launcher always force closes and never works. How do I change to the default stock launcher if I the (user default) Pure Breeze launcher won't start? Thanks!
EDIT: Hi again, the quick fix was to press and hold the home button to get into the task manager, then what I did was to uninstall the Pure Breeze launcher and it reverted back to the default Samsung Home launcher. Hope this solution helps for anyone with the same issue.
I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
