[Q] Using third-party launcher - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I use NOVA or Apex launcher, I cannot have the airwave or other S4 enhancements. Only when I get back to the default TW mode, everything work as normal.

Launcher probably vs go launcher

I've become pretty accustomed to launcher pro since i used to use it on my mt4g and now again since it was included with g-lite on my G2 but i have always been curious about go launcher... it looks like it has more customization options and features than launcher pro but i'm not sure and i don't necessarily feel like re doing all my launcher settings and stuff if go launcher sucks.
So does anyone use go launcher? Is it any better or different from launcher pro? Does it consume any more or less resources than launcher pro would probably be the biggest thing...
Thanks in advance.

theyre both pretty much the same now, launcher pro is still a bit ahead cause the widgets are kinda cooler
if you want less resources consumed and no lags at all use the stock launcher, it doesnt have customizations tho
You won't have to redo your Launcher Pro configuration/settings if you try Go Launcher. You can try/install as many launchers as you want. If you want to switch back to another launcher, you just need to clear defaults in Settings>Applications>Manage applications>(current launcher). Then press home, and pick the launcher that you want to switch to, and it will still be setup how you left it. Or use an app like Home Switcher for Foryo (works for Gingerbread, too). to make switching a bit faster.
It's can be use and all the same. With g-lite ROM i'm using GoLauncher, when i want i use Launcher7 - winphone7 launcher - with no problem

[Q] revert back to default launcher

hi,
i install ADW launcher, and set that as default launcher - when i pressed home button.
but later i want to change back to original launcher, -- without uninstalling ADW launcher,
how can i do that?
clearing data on HDW launcher doesn't do as what my intention.
thanks
hi, you can do this easily going on settings, ADW lancher, delete default
Or if that's not working try download this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.uninstaller
Then uninstall adw by finding it on the list.

[req] touchwiz 5.0

its a good launcher i like it but some reasons i dont use it.
for ex some widgets do not work properly. they look not like on apex or nova launcher.
and not all the widgets can be resized.
can it be modified as such?

can you launch holo instead of touchwiz?

I remember i read somewhere that if you clear the launchers default it will ask you if you want to launch holo or the manufacturers overlay of android when you go home. Can i do that to my tab with ics?
Just the launcher? That doesn't work on every device, In fact, I think the only device that ever did it was the EVO 4G, mainly because HTC left the other launcher in there, which is uncommon. You can always install Trebuchet (not on Google Play), Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher. The three are based on the original 4.0 launcher. My personal favorite it Apex, it's the smoothest of them all and it feels like you're still using vanilla.

Launcher change

Hello.
If i change the stock launcher to google laucher or nova launcher, will it affect the phone performance or battery life?
I use Nova Prime with no problems at all, everything running smoothly.
