TouchWiz won't stay on by default!

Randomly when I hit the home buttn I am prompted with the option touchwiz or home. I can pick either on while checking the load default and it still asks again a few min later. What am I missing?

That's a first, never had that happen.
Have you recently installed any User interface programs like ADW launcher or launcher pro?
How about any programs in general.. please be a little more specific.
Welcome to the forums!
It only happens to me when I hold the home botton and bring up the task manager. When I hit the home botton again it prompt me to choose the launcher.

Try getting home switcher from the market and tell it to set touchwiz home as you default. See if that works.
I Will try and load my appbrain list but no to launchers. Just goole stuff and a couple widgets.

I can't post links yet so check out appbrain user: ErlyD I have no launcher apps and I did try that home launcher app recommended. But still have the problem.

Sgs tools and you go to the bottom menu and choose which launcher you want and bam! Launcher is set to default. I'm using 2.2 quantum and confirm it works.

Does my epic have to be rooted? I ran the app and set it yet still get the problem. It randomly asks when I hit home. Each time I set default then select touchwiz.

Will factory reset help with this problem? What other way can I reset clean?

I tried Home Switcher and Home Manager...same exact symptoms.

Download sgs tools from market. Install. Go to bottom menu upgrade stock apps, then choose laucner you want and follow instructions from there, easy fix.

Edit: this only works on rooted phones, I'm sorry if I miss read the problem.
Bottom option is:
.prop editor

I've looked over SGS Tools, over and over again. I do not understand where the option to make this fix is.
Could you give more specific instructions? Thanks!

Same here only .prop editor do we have to be rooted? To use this correctly?

I think I got a fix. I went to manage apps and cleared defaults on touchwiz but also cleared tw data. It sucked cause my icons and everything else I took the time to setup cleared but after rebuilding it seems to be working. Been about an hour now and the menu hasn't popped up.

Sorry guys I must have been way too blazed I swear I read that you guys had the froyo beta and had this problem, as I did have this issue. But it seems some of you are dealing with this on stock, without root and this will only work if you have root.

I believe that this issue is related to the installation of a certain application. As a matter of fact, I uninstalled several applications after going on a few downloading sprees (yeah, I get bored and have money burning a hole in my PayPal account) in hopes of fixing the issue, to no avail.
Otherwise, could it possibly be related to a glitch caused by setting a certain number of icons or widgets on the homescreen, causing the launcher's data to interfere with its default settings?
Either way, I took ErlyD's advice, cleared the data, and will rebuild my homescreens in hopes it won't happen again. Or else I will figure out what causes it.

I would love to follow his advice, but TouchWiz isn't listed in my manage applications list...what the heck!
Actually, none of the stuff that came installed is listed....nascar, amazon, etc.
Where do I find these?

Okay...found it via running programs.
Cleared data.
Didn't solve my problem.
Crap.

It failed. Sorry for the trouble it lasted longer than before though. I went a few hrs before it popped up. I am going to have to start uninstalling apps to see what happens.

restore my data option non responsive

I'm trying a couple rooting options after the 7.4.1 update, and each time, I come to the part where I have to tap the "Restore my data" option on the kindle itself. No matter what I do, that button is unresponsive. I can tap on any other option, and they work, I just can't choose the option to restore.
Anybody got any ideas on how to get past that?
We've tried with and without entering any passwords as well.

Th password is usually your lockscreen code. That's the best i can help you.

Lock screen problem after calling someone

After I called someone, I got this bug that is bothering me when I have I unlock my phone .I think it has to do with the pandora app. Please help

I have the same issue and I'm trying to figure it out. I suppose we can help each other narrow it down. Are you able to reproduce this? So far I haven't figured out how to make it happen and thought it only happens randomly. The only way I figured out how to get rid of it is by pressing pause then unlocking the phone.
Next time you get this, post a list of running apps.
Last time this happened to me what I had running was:
Settings
Facebook
Messenger
MightyText
8tracks
Accuweather
Pandora
Media
ExchangeServices
GooglePlayServices
GoogleServices
Gmail
When I killed the MightyText app the lockscreen bug went away. You wouldn't happen to have MightyText on your phone, would you? Or something that syncs your SMS's and phonecalls to a tablet.
My suggestion is to recreate the bug then go through your Running Apps list one-by-one until you disable the app that is causing this.
Somehow it went away after I used the clean master

Messaging Pop-Up - Not showing up anymore

So i just noticed that with the stock LG messaging application i am not getting the pop-up quick reply. I'm assuming it has something to do with something i froze in titanium backup however instead of going through each one one by one and going through a bunch of test text messages to figure it out i'm turning to the community.
Does anyone know which service allows the pop-up to happen?
Thanks!
I don't always get it, either. Seems to only pop up if I'm on my home screen. Been meaning to ask a few friends to text me back so I can test it out.
That's how it is suppose to work, however that has stopped working for me hence the post

Well I unfroze everything & still not working dyes I have the option set to yes. Only things I've done is flash stock browser and installed an old apk of Google Talk as I didn't like Hangouts.
I think maybe something with the Google Talk install did it. Looks like I'll have to restore to a backup.

Mine stopped working as well. Did everyone here install GMD Auto Hide?
i used TWRP to do a factory wipe and it fixed it. Restored my backup and wasn't there. Yes i installed gmd auto hide.
I think GMD is breaking the pop up. Oh well.. I rather not have those ugly software buttons than have the message pop up.

Gs4 keeps forgetting my preferences

Hi guys. The title pretty much sums it up. Every time i open a file, like a video, it asks me with which program. I choose always open with that program but it asks me again the next time.
I even reinstalled the lastest ROM with full wipe and it keeps doing it. It is really weird.
Any ideas ?
