Of course, get Apex Launcher
You can port your last launcher's settings, just make sure that your dock icons are on your homescreen!
First, go into homescreen settings and scrool down to transiton effect.
Change it to "Tablet"
Scroll down to "Use tablet UI mode"
Check that
Make sure "Show persistiant search bar" is set to "Always"
Extremely simple.

I'm using adw launcher on my Tab and since the last update, the 'drawer' icon in the middle of the dock has gone. It was initially replaced with the generic android app icon which prompted a 'not installed' message when tapped. I can drag and drop any other icon to that spot, and it works, but what I want is the original drawer icon back.
I've set the 'up swipe' gesture to open the drawer for now, but that just a workaround.
Any ideas?
Got me too, on my phone.
Longpress on a home screen like you were going to add a widget or change wallpaper, you should see "Custom Shortcut". Select it, pick the app drawer, it'll now be a shortcut icon on your home screen. Drag it down to where it belongs, and you're done. Until the next time it happens.
Hopefully, it'll get better soon.
For my Tab, I decided to go with LauncherPro, it's just a lot faster and smoother. Miss the ADW themes though.
Thanks. That worked.
I tried Launcher Pro, but the free version couldn't resize widgets, which makes it pretty unusable for me.

But the paid version lets you do it visually, on the fly. And comes with a few nice widgets of its own. Pro-tip, if you enable the "Motorola Droid Hack" in General Settings, it's even smoother, because it's using some basic GPU hardware acceleration features, and the Tab has the same family of GPU (PowerVR) so it's compatible.
I really like the Sense 3 dock but hate the non smooth scrolling of the app drawer. As an alternative I want to use this .png file as the image for my dock using Launcher Pro but haven't got a clue to apply it to the launcher.
Anyone know how, please?
On Launcher Pro:
1) set the dock background to the pic:
Menu Button > preferences > appearance settings > dock background
then you have to set each shortcut on the dock (there are 5 shortcuts, so set the 2nd and 4th to "none" to avoid accidental presses on them). The other three you have to get a blank png and set that as the pic for each, and set the shortcut accordingly (e.g app drawer on the 1st, phone in 3rd)
I saw that there was a thread for double-tap to lock with Nova Launcher, but as I use Apex Launcher Pro I played around a bit to find something similar. And I succeeded.
Here is how you can get this feature back:
- go into Apex settings
- choose "Behavior setting"
- look up "Desktop double tap" under gestures
- choose "Launch shortcut"
- choose "Hibernate and lock screen"
That's it. I hope I can help with this.
Hi there,
I got mine yesterday, very fine at least.
BUT, for me it´s not possible to DEactivate the default stock launcher and to activate the APEX Launcher as default.
I´ve installed apex, restored all my settings from old phone, that works.
But each time I left the menue, the app drawer, whatsever I´m back in the stock launcher and I have to select apex launcher manually.
In the settings menue there is no option to set apex as default
In the apex settings menue there is an option to select the default launcher, BUT there is only the stock launcher selectable, apex is not even listed as an option.
Any ideas to solve that?
Actual stock rom installed, play store and google apps, all is running fine, but not the launcher

You have to go to "Settings" then "Apps" and down on the middle side is "Default Apps" then you select "Launcher" and set the one you want as Standard.
hope i could help
Go to settings. Then apps. In the bottom you Will see default apps. Go in. In launcher you can select of all you have. I have the original, google launcher, pixel and Nova.

Cant blame you, i would've thought the same thing, i had a very hard time getting the Letv le max to work with another launcher, but they fixed that
Nova launhcer just jumped straight into the settings for me on this one
I have done some googling but didnt help.
I followed this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/successfully-changed-launcher-to-nova-t3744067
I used pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher to disable the fire launcher but it just lead to a black screen where I coudn't use home button. There was just time and "Try Alexa,remind me on Saturday to call Dad" Text. I could go to next screen by swiping left there was also some random text about a video. I can use settings but I cannot go to the home screen where all the apps are.
I had to enable fire launcher.
Did some googling and it said that we need to set NOVA as our default launcher. I checked the nova launcher and it said that it is not set as default launcher and "click here" to set up as the default launcher.
When I click it, it just goes to the settings.
Where in the settings can I make NOVA as my default launcher?
Sorry for my englando.
I just used launcher hijack.
It solved the problem
Nova Launcher
Plug your tablet into fire toolbox click on custom launcher click drop down select nova click install it will tell you already installed then it will disable fire launcher and you are all set
