Hello, I'm currently using Action Launcher Pro as my default launcher (and yes i pressed always when the "complete action using" menu popped up).
But, every time I restart my device the "complete action using" set a launcher menu keeps on popping up every time I reboot my device even though I set Action Launcher Pro as default and pressed ALWAYS!
Am I the only person getting this?? Please Help me :crying:
I think it's a bug with Action Launcher. I had that isssue on my SGS3, and now with my i9505 i don't have it anymore. I assumed it was a device thing, but maybe if you're getting it on the SGS4, you just need to uninstall it and reinstall?
I could be an Action Launcher thing because Nova Launcher never those this

Just to share some finding (if it is not yet been widely been a known issue) about the Phone App of Galaxy S when using with Launcher Pro.
I was very frustrated by the Phone App comes with the Galaxy S, when I get my Galaxy S, I use Launcher Pro right the way, there is a Phone shortcut on the dock, which I didn't alter it and use it from the beginning.
I eventually discovered that when I launch the Phone App every time, it will goes to the dial pad screen, instead of the call log screen which I left the Phone App last time, I was thinking of this is a bug of the Phone App since there is no setting on the Phone App for choosing which screen to startup, so I was searching if there is any alternative but there is none in the market better than the stock one.
My friend just show me he his Galaxy S using ADW Launcher, and when I open the Phone App on his phone, it goes back to the call lock screen, woo! That is what I'm looking for, but how did he do that? He said he did nothing, so I go to download ADW Launcher right the way and I got the same result, probblem solved!
However, I personally prefer Launcher Pro more, and seem that is not the problem of the Phone App itself but between the Phone App and Launcher Pro, so I launch back Launcher Pro again and try. The same problem appear again, so I launch the Phone App from the drawer when using Launcher Pro, the problem gone too!
So, I try to hold on the Phone shortcut on the dock, re-assign the shortcut to launch the Phone App, it launch properly now.
So the original phone shortcut seems to be having some problem, maybe calling something else which is equivalent to the Phone on the original shortcut?
Anyway, re-assign the Phone App to the dock will solve this.
Thanks!
I also had to do the same for contacts icon (was not assigned to the contacts app).
guess the shortcut was not calling the phone app but was calling the default calling applications
like when you launch the app normally , it asks the phone to launch the app
when you use that shortcut , it tells the phone you want to call
With the swipe function in the dock, u can have the best of both worlds.
The default press brings me to the dialer, while swiping up bring me to the call log provided it was last closed in that position.
i have a USB connection problem with Kies when is Launcher pro can be connected when using Kies no problem is there any fix for this ?
Samsung Kies will not work with any other launcher other than the default TWLauncher. You will need to switch back the default launcher to the TWLauncher before you can connect under Kies mode. You can download an application called "Home Switcher" to change the default launcher. To play safe, reboot after change the default launcher.

Thanks very much Copo!
The best way to do this to alwas get the call log is this:
Use the default Launchpro icon to get to the dialer, which i find is great. Then change the swipe gesture to launch an activity and the activity is part of the phone app and choose the log option tab...i think it is the first or second choice.
That way you have the best of both worlds
Swipe up for sure. I use it for launching contacts. Such a handy feature, really improves productivity.

Anyone know what activity uses Launcher Pro to open dialpad directly?
I want to use that shortcut with ADW, but i can't find it in activities. I managed to open dialpad from a shortcut with the activity: Contacts -> Contacts(.TwelveKeyDialer), but dialpad is opened without tabs at the top (Phone, Call log, Contacts, Favorites).
How can i find what shortcut command Launcher Pro uses for opening dialer?
I was reseting my Epic and was presented with a surprise dialog box that allowed me to choose the non-TouchWiz home screen. It was one of those "what do you want to use to complete this action" type prompts. I don't really know what I did to get it because it doesn't happen normally. It was either that I was touching one of the soft buttons at the right time or that I unlocked the home-screen as soon as I possibly could.
I ended up with three home-screens and the pullout application drawer. Also when I touch and held on the home-screen, the Samsung widgets were not available.
I just thought I'd share.
Did you install LauncerPro or something similar? That's exactly what happens when you install a new launcher frontend and the Epic doesn't have a default home-screen.
Samsung widgets are not available on LauncherPro, but there are comparable/better ones available on the market, too.
Yea. Phone comes with just a" home". Go to settings,applications,manage applications and find twlauncher. Select clear defaults. Hit the home button and then u can select the basic launcher.

@nmezib - nope, I just did a factory reset so there was nothing nonstandard installed.
@sultan - That's it, very cool.
What your seeing there is the stock Android launcher. This is what ADW is based on. You can go and clear the cache of TouchWiz in Appmanager and it will prompt you with that dialog again.
I've just moved to stock XXJVR and am a Launcher Pro user.
I have selected Launcher Pro as the default action for the Home button which works fine until I long press Home to bring up the Recent dialog. After the Recent dialog has been shown the next time I press the Home button I am again prompted as to which launcher I want to use.
I have checked the "Launch by default" settings for Launcher pro and it is initially registered and is cleared after the long press of home.
This seems to be a new bug with JVR that wasn't an issue on JVQ. Interestingly I have seen this issue also on the Galaxy S ii so it is perhaps a new Samsung 'feature'.
Does anyone have any decent workaround for this other than doing an uninstall of TwLauncher?
Thanks!
I'm on JVR too running launcher pro and I do not have this problem so it's definitely not ROM related. I did have the same issue though in the past, it vanished by itself moving on to new updates and firmwares.

Nope, no problem here. Using stock JVR and Go-Launcher EX
I'm having this same problem, very frustrating!
Bug was present on JVS (Simplicity ROM and Stock) and also most recently it is still present in JVT (Stock).
Not THAT big of a deal, just really annoying! BTW it happens with any launcher I try, launcher pro, go launcher ex, etc.
Any solution is greatly appreciated!
Glad to hear itis not just me.
I ended up uninstalling the twlauncher application using titanium backup. This hasn't caused any problems since.
Nice one, didnt want to do it previously, but it solved the problem! Never used TW before anyway. Thanks.
For some odd reason now my phone keeps asking me to choose between TW Home and TW Easy. I choose home and always, but every few minutes of using apps and such I get asked again when I hit the home button. I went in app manager and cleared the default and selected TW Home again, but it still happens.
Any ideas?
In case anyone has the app "Befunky" installed, it updated last night and was my problem. A photo app now acting as a launcher.
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.
