Installed the Google Experience Launcher on my KitKat N10, but it keeps on asking me to select the launcher when I press the home button. Not always, but frequently. I make sure to use the selection "Always" and have gone into the Home settings and selected it's radio button. Any other ideas?

Since upgrading to Froyo today on O2 my phone keeps defaulting to TWlauncher.
I have homeswitcher and can click set default on launcherpro and then click launch but as soon as I press the middle button at the bottom of the phone it goes back to tw launcher, can anyone help?
Think home switcher has issues with 2.2.
I've ripped tw out completely using titanium backup.
Or you will need to clear defaults on touchwiz in your app settings, next time you press home it should prompt you for what you want to launch.

That. I had the same issue when I upgraded, cleared the default, hit home and set LauncherPro as the default and haven't looked back
I tried making ADW Launcher my default launcher I navigated to settings/applications/managed applications/installed apps/ADW. Once I get to that screen I can not select it as a default because the the option isn't highlighted to select so how I do it? Thanks for your input in advance!

Try hitting the home hard button
Then the default home selection screen might show up
If it doesn't, there is a program in the DroidX forums called HomeSmack
You can use this to make ADW the default home app
And how do I get the Homesmack app? I'm trying the Homeswitcher app but after selecting adw as default and closing the app it doesn't save what I selected.

Go to manage applications and find your stock launcher and hit "clear defaults." Then you can hit your home button and select it from there. Hope this helps!

Also, with home switcher (which is what I use) are you selecting "set default" then "launch?" You're not supposed to close home switcher. When you hit launch it's supposed to close automatically and go to the launcher you selected.

if you are rooted - use root explorer and navigate to your system files in
/system/app
and rename "blurhome.apk" to "blurhome.apk.bak"
You will still have the file - it will just not be recognized anymore by the system when you give it the "backup" extension.
If you aren't rooted (you should be) -did you try the other version of Home Switcher? last time I checked there was a seperate version for froyo. You can try that (if you haven't).
If you are not rooted and you want to be here is a link for an app. You put it on your phone. Open it. Press either
temporary root (if you are nervous)
or
permanent root
the app is called "Z4root". you can google around and do some research if you want. I used it. It's very easy. But of course I make no guarantees and rooting does void your warranty and you could screw up your phone.
Z4root.apk
Zwade I navigated to the stock home launcher and I didn't have the option hilighted to choose "clear default" so I chose force close and cleared the data instead.

Zwade yes just as you described with homeswitcher that's what it does on my end but once I select adw via homeswitcher and the launcher opens I go back and open the homeswitcher app on the main screen it says I don't have a default selected shouldn't it save my prior setting?

I'm rooted running the latest Quantum rom with ext4 support dk28.
I've noticed that my home launcher default won't stick. To replicate the issue...if I press my home button for several seconds to bring up my most recent app pop up, then close that and hit the home key I will get the pop up asking me what I would like my home defaul launcher to be. Anyone else having this issue?

Try home switcher in the market. Its free. It lets you pick which launcher you want as default.maybe that'll work.

When it ask you what home to use deflect the check box st the bottom to make default

Occasionally I have this problem too, but not recently.
You can also go into menu > settings > applications and up top hit "all" and find all of the launchers (one at a time) and click them, then clear defaults.. once you've completed this, pick the launcher you want to use as a default and see if you have better luck.
I use zeam and haven't had this problem in a week or two.

I've tried unistalling and re-installing Launcher pro but I don't get the option to select TW or LP when i hit the home key. I forced TW to stop and cleared data but is still goes back to TW when pressing home.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Unistall then reinstall

If you press the home button you should have a choice to pick which launcher you want to use.

Key word: should. The whole point of this thread is that hitting the home key didn't give the option like it should have.
You could also go into app setting under default launcher and turn tw asus default off.
Happened to me before.

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.
