Did a google search and came to this thread. Thanks for the help!

Well, I'm not on a custom rom (running stock android 4.3) nor do I have the screen filter. Still there is this problem. Help please!

Go to Settings>Apps> View all apps and find your app in the list. open it and enable it

Tried but its not in there

If it's disabled, it won't be in alphabetical order with your other apps. It will be at the very end of the list.

In the settings menu it is named Contacts.

You sure you froze the app and didn't accidentally deinstalled it?

It's called Contacts.

Re-Check, the name might be. Contacts or it may be on the end of the list
If it's not, then try re-installing your rom or you can manually push the apk to /system/app/

Same problem with People App

How did you sort it out? I installed Overstock rom on my nexus 4 and after that I am unable to add contact. I cleared data from Settings->Apps-> Contact storage , still no luck.. Can you please explain what steps you took to sort it out.

[i9500] Not keeping home screen defaults

Every time I turn on, or restart my phone, I get the screen to select a launcher. I do not have any other launcher installed and every time I select touchwiz and click always, it does not stay.

Seems Odd
-Go to Applications manager
-In the TW launcher clear all data and clear all defaults.
-Restart and reorganize the layout ( If u have multiple launchers you will be prompted to choose a default one )
-Turn off and back on and see.
Hope it helped.

I seem to have hit this problem this week too, a workaround while I figure out why it happens is to disable/freeze other launchers so there's only one left.

Do you have any startup manager app?

It's a separate application, hold the application in the select default app dialog and click disable.

Hmm, that's weird, I used Titanium Backup to freeze it.

I wonder if the app clean master deleted any file needed to keep the default launcher after restarting the phone

backup your apps and do the factory reset......................:after that you'l be :good:

None of that worked.... today i got MJ5 update with 4.3 and it fixed it.

[Q] Super nub dumb question about Paranoid Android

I know. It's not a smart question, but..
How can I go back to stock colors with Paranoid Android? I'm not able to find a restore button, or something else. I have transparent bars, colored softkeys and so on.. And I do not want it
Thank you so much.
Of course, I wouldn't wipe the phone.

I can't get adw to stick as my default launcher

I can't seem to get this launcher to stick.
I'm not rooted btw. Tia

It's been a while but I think the trick is to remove ALL of the widgets from the touchwiz screens. I fought with the same issue when moving from my Charge to the Note 3.
Edit: I'm still not rooted either.

does that include folders?

Can't say for sure. I deleted everything and started clean - no apps, no widgets, nothing. I think the widgets are all that matter since many of them are always "active".

Has any one else run I to this problem...cuz it's driving me nuts

Nothing?

I will be setting up my wife's Note 2 this weekend with ADW. Will keep notes as to what I had to do and will pass it along. I know it was the same issue with Charge and this beast.

Try long pressing the home button, then select task manager, then select clear defaults and then clear the default launcher. When you press the home screen again it will ask which launcher, select ADW and tap always.

Yep That will do it.

OT: I conversed with you over at the Charge forum. I got my Note3 last Wednesday, I'm in love and my wife's jealous. She got a S4 and is complaining about her battery running down.
On Topic: I'm using Next Launcher and didn't have any problems with it and my touchwiz setup.
