I changed to 305ppi working fine
then I revert back to 149 (the device's native) now my launcher would force close all the time.
Now I can't launch anything, can't even change back
what could I do.... please help!!!
I had a problem where the launcher would crash repeatedly and I'd have to hit Ok or something. The system did work though so I was able to navigate to settings, while constantly hitting OK (to accept my launcher had crashed again).
In settings I was able to remove the Set as default option from the launcher and so the next time I hit Home I was asked to select a launcher - Here I chose another one and all was OK.
I installed ADW launcher and it launched just fine, but the stock browser, holo, go, and the likes are not, ADW is the only one
Also I couldn't get Chrome to run anymore, constantly crash, just like the stock launcher....
The icon in ADW is also 75% smaller, which I have no clue to fix or reverse this
grr

I have tried home switcher and the likes to try to set go launcher, launcher pro and adw launcher. Tried to clear default manually. (Basically the same thing home switcher does).
But whenever i exit apps or even preferences. My phone prompts me to choose what launcher to use. I choose ex launcher pro. Tick of the default theme. And it still prompts me 2 minutes later.
I am not rooted. On froyo 2.2.1
Can anyone help choose and keep another launcher than htc sense?
Don't know, but for me after geting a new launcher(launcher pro), had hard time to move from sense, it's great.
But I just once selected the launcher pro as default, and phone has ever since asked to choose.
If i want to switch back to sense, how to do it? Only way i see is to instal another launcher to get the phone to ask what to use.
And haven't rooted my phone.

Uninstall launcherpro. Then Sense will take over.
getting back to sense is easy..
install yet another launcher to get to choose default. thats the hard and stupid way.
else.. settings/programs/ go set sense as the default
homeswitcher. which is the same. just takes a few steps off the process..
but how do i set another launcher as default for good, without home button sending me to choose default launcher all the time?
is it possible that an app has changed some settings?
can i freeze out sense or any other workaround, without rooting ?
I had this problem when I had Launcher 7 and ADW installed. I chose L7 to be my default and couldn't get ADW back. Then found out by going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Application -> All and then choose Launcher Pro. Scroll down and you should see a section call Launch Default and click Clear Default. That should fix it.
I'm on CM7 so how you get to Application list may vary. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, of the phone constantly asking what launcher to use when pressing the home button. I would pick my preferred launcher, check the box to use my selection as default. Then it would stay as default for a while, but "lose" the default fairly soon. This happened frequently, many times a day.
I tried clearing the default (both manually and using home switcher), uninstalling all but the stock Sense launcher (this was on Virtuous), and the problem just came back even after just installing one launcher (and it didn't matter which, I tried installing/uninstalling different ones). Something definitely "changed" to cause this problem (although I don't know what). It was fine for a while when I was on Virtuous, and then one day it wasn't. I was playing around with various launchers at the time. So I all can think is one of them somehow messed up the ability to keep the default.
The problem persisted until I flashed back to the stock ROM. Only other thing I can think of to try, is to clear dalvik and cache. Clearing those seems to fix some random problems, once in a while.

I had the same problem, and after reading tons about it online, it seems the only explanation is that one of your apps is interfering with the choice, it can be any app you have, even if it has nothing to do with a Launcher function.
What I did was backup all my apps (130+) to Titanium (I am rooted), then uninstall them all. I then proceeded to reinstall them by batches of 3-5. Until I pinned down the problem to Photoid Pro. I dumped it and ever since my Z has been working flawlessly on Zeam launcher.
I have read that there are several other apps that interfere as well, so you might have to do as me, uninstall, and reinstall until you can spot the culprit.
Hi guys, something's wrong with my kindle fire...
I was browsing the android market and the screen was suddenly frozen.
Then I long press the power button to turn it off and restart again.
But when it's turned on, the kindle fire launcher keeps flashing (Go launcher works fine).
So I restart my kindle again to see if this problem will go away, but it keeps flashing...
Also, every time I turn my kindle on, it says sign-in is required before accessing the Internet. But after I signed in, this notification just pop up again...
Anyone can help me please?
Thanks!!!
(it's a bit long, sorry about that!)
are the restrictions in settings active ? maybe turn on and off again
but about the flashing launcher ???
sorry - no more ideas ...
Thank you b63.
But that's not working...
Actually the sing-in part is not that annoying and I think that happens because of the default launcher.
Let me give more details about my problem.
So I have 2 launchers: the default one and GO launcher
Go launcher works perfectly, as I have said.
But once I switch to default launcher, I can see the launcher interface for one second or two, and it turns black for few seconds and the interface shows up again....
And my kindle keep doing this repeatedly.
(the notification bar is working, so I can still switch to Go launcher)
Thank you guys for helping me!
i'm using the same configuration
have set go launcher as default launcher and use stock launcher when i need it
works perfect
maybe try to reset the defaults of both launchers:
settings - apps - go (& stock) launcher - defaults (all at the bottom)
has anyone else had the issue of whatever launcher being set as default launcher NOT sticking across a boot, or sometimes even during regular operation? i downloaded Apex, and set it as my default, yet when i reboot, it always asks me to set default launcher again, and even sometimes when running other apps, if i hit the home button, it asks what launcher to run.

Nope. Never have that problem. Then again, I always freeze Touchwiz with Titanium Backup.

Whenever I use Apex or ADW I tend to have that same problem. Removing other launchers than the one you plan on using full time tends to clear that up. There may be an easier way to do it, but it's never been a big enough problem for me to try something else.
I cant figure out what's going on here. I know how to set the default launcher, but every time I reboot it asks me again. It doesn't seem to matter which launcher as I've tried both Apex and Nova and have the same results every reboot. The always keeps it as long as the phone stays on - but the default setting is loss after power off or reboot. Anyone?!
Hi, I have a Samsung S10+ running Android 10 and One UI 2.5.
I am constantly getting an issue with Nova Launcher where if i clear my recent apps the screen refreshes and then One UI takes over and it goes to that home screen rather than Nova. If i then press the Home button again it then takes me back to Nova's home screen again and does stay there until i clear my recent apps again.
Nova is definitely set to the default launcher and when this happens i go into the Nova settings and it shows no launcher is set as default, i then set it as default but the same thing keeps happening each time.
I have tried clearing the cache from both Nova and One UI but this didn't fix anything.
Is this a know issue? It has happened for a while but wasn't that annoying but since a recent android update it seems to be happening all the time now.
Does anyone know if i can fix this?
Thanks
James
Did you perhaps got sd card installed? Usually if the app installed on sd card, it will revert back to default launcher whenever you restart.
I have also had this happen to me recently, happens generally when I have recently restarted the phone for a couple of hours and then it won't happen, really odd. It started happening after the November update. And to @Zac3 I don't have a sd card installed.
Same here !!! It bugs even out sometimes, switch automatic to One UI Launcher, and i can not open sometimes my recents Apps, i had cleared so many times data and cache, but nothing seems working.
Also when i got Nova immersive in settings, it shows me the black bar at the top of the screen, that also doesnt seem to work.
