[i9500] Not keeping home screen defaults - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Yes.
Go to app manager under settings and swipe from right to left to bring all apps, click on the app you would like to disable and you can disable it from there.
Cheers
Hmmm it won't disable kik or what's app. You can disable the Samsung apps!
Bye bye story board, SamsungOn....0.91mb of RAM in use now

No more room on this page

When finishing installing a new app a message pops up saying that I dont have any room on the page .has anyone noticed this message. My s4 is not rooted.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Its because in your playstore settings, automatic creation of widget of the new app is selected, hence whenever you install a new app, play store tries to create a widget for that app. You homescreens are full so it displays the message. De select the option and the message will not flash any more.

Why is this happening?

Recently I've been getting this notification when I try to update an app.
How do I get rid of it?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
You may have a rogue app.
You may need to check all your apps
To track it down.

Lol. Its a rogue/adware/spyware app. Goto application manager from settings and hunt it down. Roast it and eat it. Also, maybe uninstall it?

Defiantly a rough app.
I would suggest a wipe in such cases, this is to fully ensure elimination of the problem.

Weather Animation

Hello guys..
I'm very new to LG.. G2 is my first... Been a Samsung user all this while..
Question is, i can't enable weather animation on my lockscreen which I'm pretty sure because i might have deleted the necessary live wallpaper apk's. If so, could anyone be so kind to share those apk's or if not, explain to me what might be the problem? Thanks so much

No idea what you are talking about . Not using much LG software. But I have Beautiful Widgets with its Live Wallpaper and am happy with it.
What I've found is that some times you have to clear the cache and force stop the lockscreen.

Any chance you froze or deleted the LGWeather apk that comes with the phone? When I was debloating my device shortly after rooting I made the mistake of deleting that app. I don't use the widget so I figured no harm. But my lockscreen animations also disappeared. Once I reinstalled LGWeather the animations returned.

Hi,
Download a stock rom (or a custom rom but odexed, otherwise there will not have the LG weather stuff as it don't work on deodexed) and extract the files you need. Put them in /system/app with a file explorer, set the correct permissions (like the other files) and reboot...
EDIT: I had nothing to do so... Here's the LG weather: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xfj6w81gxe4lf79/LG_Weather.rar.
Slightly off topic, sorry, but is there any way to get the weather animation when using pattern or pin, but swipe?

I'm 99% certain that weather animations only work with the slide to unlock option.
I haven't deleted any apks and my lockscreen animations are not working. Im on swipe and have cleaed cache and force quit the lockscreen app. Still no dice. Any suggestions?

I think maybe a factory reset might do the job.

Ouch. Factory resets are always a pain. If you're gonna go that route, make sure you back everything up in the backup app that came out of the box before you proceed. It should save some of the hassle. :thumbup:

I think I've found the solution guys... When selecting the option, enter the exact location which is on your clock and weather widget manually. You'll be prompted to select some other options such as weather update and auto sync and you'll be good to go. Hope this helps
