I'm new to the forum and I've searched for a while Google and not.. No find but I changed my launcher to nova Launcher and about a few days into it every about 5 minutes it clears the default launcher and it would continue to ask me which launcher to use between nova and touchwiz. Anyone know some kind of solution or somewhere in the settings? I've explored the settings a few times and couldn't find anything. I personally hate the stock launcher. Thanks guys.
When the system ask u btw what Launcher u wanna use... Select the one prefered and click in ALWAYS button and u will have this one for everyday :highfive:

Yeah.. Sadly I'm always clicking always when I prefer the nova Launcher. I've set my nova Launcher as the home screen about a hundred times a day and that's while setting it as my default launcher.
I'd you have saved the nova lunch er to the SD card from the applications menu it will do that. You have to keep it in the main memory

It's not cuz of the launcher because I can choose the touchwiz stock launcher it would do the same thing.

Nope. Absolutely nothing. Its in the phones internal memory and still asks what launcher to be default and I continue picking nova Launcher and it would still come back up asking when I press the home button

I am sending the backup settings file for nova launcher you should restore your nova launcher with my backup file and I think your all problems will be solved.

Sorry buddy. Not downloading any backup settings. If you wanted to tell me to reset and store new settings you could've just said so..
I know the issue has nothing to do with the actual launcher because I uninsulated nova Launcher and it would come out even with the touchwiz stock launcher

Even if you have only a single launcher still happening? I was going to tell you to try a different launcher and see but... Even if you were root you could delete stock launcher and so force it to use always nova...

Here cfautoroot by Chainfire worked for me (i9500). Just consider it because maybe it is difficult to read in there:
1) Use the same Odin version included in the cfautoroot .rar file (it is, Odin 1.85, it is important, instead of 3.0x which is used to flash ROMs)
2) If you have a 4.3 ROM, after flashing cfautoroot and reboot, DON'T touch anything, just go to Google Play, search for "Supersu", install it or update it, open it and follow its instructions to install/update binaries (when prompt select "normal" installation instead "custom Recovery" installation.

I had sent you my latest backup file for nova launcher from my S4 I9500.in this setting home button toggles instantly both launchers, nova prime and touchwiz.
Now I am telling how you configure your nova launcher for that. In nova settings _ set default home to nova launcher then open the gesture and buttons - home button-shortcut-activities- touchwiz home - touchwiz home.

you are stock? then no. with root you can delete it, but you will have a space left. in some custom roms you can disable it.
Almost every custom launcher has that option. Adw, apex, nova and probably all the others also.

What Rom and mods are you using? That looks like what a Samsung UI search looks like.
Did you recently install a Mod?
Stock rom. I just noticed I lost the ability to theme individual icons. Instead of the option to name and change icon, it just picks it up and I have option to delete or show info. Maybe my launcher is gone? I had x posed with g2 settings installed but I uninstalled them. Would an option to select theme just disappear?

A theme option should be here right?

Yes, there should be an option at the top. Something tells me that a theme you tried to install conflicted with the stock rom that might have not been compatible.
If youve added any mods or themes I would freeze or remove them in titanium backup and restart and see if that fixes the issue.
Most of my theme icons came back except the apps icon after few reboots. Does titanium detect and let me remove themes even if my option to theme is gone?

Yes because after you flash the zips in recovery they become apk's

Ok hmm, can you see them in titanium Bu? They should be apk's, if so go on and try uninstalling them. This should fix your problem if its a theme conflicting with your stock image.
I had this issue as well.
I did factory reset and all was better.
It seems that I somehow I installed my home launcher.

Hi there
When I used Galaxy S3 I got a folder from this forum full of fonts.
Today, using S6 edge+ I'm using the same apk's and it says something like "unable to apply, uninstall? "
I'm currently using HiFont from playstore, but has not too good fonts in my opinion.
Is there any other way to add new fonts for our smartphone? Or even converting .ttf to .apk?
Thanks in advance!
Enviado desde mi SM-G928F mediante Tapatalk
Try iFont from the Google Play Store. You get hundreds of fonts to choose from and they work well with Samsung phones. If you buy the donate version you get to install your own fonts stored on your phone too.
I agree. I use ifont and have no issues at all

I'm trying it right now. Seems there're no donating restrictions.
I'm trying a font from dafont.com unzipped under custom folder. I click on set on iFont. Installation progress success but when I try to choose it under fonts option in samsung settings, font does not appear.

I think it replaces 'default font' in the selection. You can change it back to original system font later if required.

If you search flip font in the app store and download any of them they will show in ur fonts in settings.

It's built into the os. This OEM is known for doing that. It all ties into the apps it bundles that are normally modified to show false states.

Consider freezing stock launcher.
Which exact firmware do you run (as mentioned Current in Wireless update)?

Thanks! A friend runs that one too with Google launcher (copied to system). I'll ask to him to freeze stock one.
I'm running S3SW 20150314-141844
I have the same issue. I'm assuming it is the trebouchet launcher. So I will freeze and replace it. After installing an other launcher (Nova) I don't see links installed, but Trebouchet keeps downloading stuff. I can see the size of it's data folder and cache increasing.
Yes, I changed it to the Google luncher ,and it stopped.
Sent from my JY-S3 using Tapatalk
It would be more easy to change the ROM. Already since May there is this malware ROM 20150314.... on needrom.
Chinese sellers get their ROM there, because gapps is included and gapps is forbidden in china.
After replacing to google luncher, still get notifications of the applications but no shortcuts installed , so problemis not solved 100%.

yup - i've the same issue as oren_rose - i've disabled "unknown sources" which stops the s/w from installing - but it still keeps trying every so often - how odd.

As AndyC76 pointed out, the problem is the ROM. I had malware on mine installed as well. Use AVG to find it and delete it. It had a very strange name and many permissions (located in the priv-app folder). I'm not sure, but I think it is resolved.
I also have the same problem, every day its add new icon.
In this image you can see who is creating is the trebuche

20150314... is the only ROM with malware, as far as i know. So changing it, to any "official" KK or LL,
would be a smart idea.
I also started having this problem about 2-3 weeks ago. How do you freeze an app?
