Asking on behalf of some friends from work after they got their updates tonight. They are running unrooted only thing not stock is they were both using go launcher or launcher pro. After the update they cant see the new blur launcher. I went through and cleared there defaults and after pressing home it is not even shown in the list to select it. Any ideas? Was thinking factory reset but if it isnt showing in the list I would think it isnt there.
What list are you talking about? Go to settings > privacy > factory reset

When no default is set and pressing home. Didnt even see it in the manage application list. One of them was wanting to do a reset anyways so Im sure she has done so already.
I recall seeing somewhere that GB automatically makes 3rd party launchers default. If they really want to see the new GB launcher they will have to uninstall LP or golauncher. Not sure about golauncher but launcher pro has a backup feature in the settings of LP.

They can install Home Switcher for Froyo from the Market and use it to launch the default launcher.

First off, I am a NOOB. So take what I did with a grain of salt, it may not be right. If I could get a senior member to check this out as well. I installed 2 launchers, go launcher hd and adw launcher ex. Then installed wallpaper wizardii, now I can use my pictures to set the background. You have to use "no scroll" in the settings. I am still playing with the functions, and it looks better on go launcher hd than adw launcher ex, but it works.
Rooted kfhd , step by step set up.
Do you have to be rooted to install launchers? I am un rooted and it never shows up in my app list. I can side load just fine, just not launchers. Tried Nova and go had.

if you are rooted, if you move the apps to system/app you can change there permissions. This allows for you to change the launcher to any launcher by default. So that when you press the home button you don't have to be forced back into the amazon launcher. Completely different from side loading the apps. I highly recommend it if you prefer a different launcher like me.

Ok thank you, I did not know that I had to change the permissions and file location. I am going to root my Fire tomorrow and then I will do that.

Word to the wise--DO NOT set your new launcher as default until you are very sure it is working ok. You can get stuck in the boot loader and believe me it is no fun!
Ok I have rooted it and installed apex and it is very nice. Everything is working smoothly. Now i might go make a theme pack to make it look like stock ics. What are the dangers of modifying framework-res.apk?

that what I've meet yesterday, it make me scare. Go laucher not working, it show not working, it show stop, then press stop, and stop again & again I can't get in to anything. Luckily, there is a star sympol, which you can get in to Silk browser, after that you can scroll down notify , get in to setting and clear Go laucher default.

Although I can only make out half of what you wrote - I can confirm I too had this problem with Apex ("Apex has stopped working"). Luckily, I was able to get into my email through the favorites star and clear defaults. I dont know why, but the Apex launcher will not work for me.

Blurry kindle wallpapers
For anyone whose having a trouble finding a good unblurrywallpaper for you Kindle Fire (if using a launcher):
Search the Google Play store for an app called Wallbase
Once installed, go to Settings --> Resolution --> Select "2560x1600"
Find a wallpaper you like and set it as you wallpaper. WALA! You can also save it so you can ur wallpaper while offline via Wallbase.
I hope people who have problems with blurry Kindle wallpapers get to see this. I was surprised when I found this out! GOOD LUCK!

I don't think you can do that with the stock launcher, but backing up the app settings for most other launchers (Nova, Apex, Trebuchet...) using an app like TB should save the icon config as well.
Edit: You can! Just back up the Launcher/home app.

Thanks klvnhng
Yeah was hoping for a stock launcher,But might put nova on
Cheers for the reply
Seems the the carbon update can back up this. Have not tested it yet tho.

Hello all,
I recently flashed FORCE ROM and love it. However one thing I do miss is the stock Google calendar widget. The green one that shows the entire month. I've downloaded the one from the play store but that just doesn't cut it. I've pulled the .apk from my stock backup but I cannot get it to install. Anyone know how I can get this widget back? Thanks!

Any luck with this?
I had to disable the widget to get TouchWiz home working again and I can't find the default widget.

You can try the GO Calendar Widget as an alternative!
Ok, after re-enabling calendar widget and rebooting phone, the default month calendar widget is available.
However, as soon as I try to attach it to a home page, TouchWiz home stops working as soon as I access that screen.
All other screens work fine.
I apologize if this has been addressed before but I'm a little pressed for time right now. Has anyone else had the issue with their wallpaper sizes being different on the home screen and lock screen? As in when you unlock the device it seems as if the wallpaper zooms almost? If so is there a fix for it? I am currently on Apex Launcher if that means anything.
Thanks in advance

Yup mine does that too.
Using Nova Launcher with a PIN lockscreen and wallpaper set from gallery using a photo taken by S4 camera.
Edit: Just tried with different photos and still same resizing change from lockscreen to home screen. No idea why.

Go to playstore and download an app called picspeed. Use that app to set your wallpapers. It wont oversize the pics like the phone system does. So when you pic your wallpapers from gallery and it ask what app to install with click picsoeed. It has 3 box sizes to choose from. The good thing is you can use any wallpaper in your gallery it dont have to be a download from picspeed.
