Hello.
I'm using PA 4.4.3 RC1 and the GEL is built-in.
I installed Apex launcher and set it as the default but the phone keep asking me which launcher I want to use almost everytime I press the home button.
No matter what I do.
I also tried to disable the GEL with Root Uninstaller Pro and It's still working and keep asking me which launcher to use.
What can I do?

Make sure you have set Apex launcher always and then delete the GEL launcher from root,done. Keep a nandroid just in case

I did set the launcher to run always, and disabled the GEL.
I don't need the GEL right now and I can uninstall it.
If I uninstall it and then dirty flash the Gapps it will bring back the GEL?

make a video of what you are doing because honestly its nothing more than choose home screen and hit always. I understand you may be doing that but it may be difficult for others to fully understand your issue and some visual will help.
or download another launcher and see if it still happens

xP, that's so weird..
I can't get this "bug" to happen again..
If it will happen again I will just uninstall the GEL, can I flash Gapps and it will install the GEL again if I want?

I'm new to launchers and I'm giving apex launcher a go. One thing that has been annoying me is whenever I click a notification and exit the app that opens it reverts to the stock launcher. Is there anything I can do about that? Is it the same with other launchers?

Maybe the default launcher is set as to default. Try going into settings and finding the default launcher app and click clear defaults. There should also be an option somewhere in the Apex Launcher settings that allow you to make it your default launcher. That way it'll stick. I've been using Apex on my galaxy SII and nexus 7 since I got them and it's been working great for me so if you can figure it out, stick around for a bit, I'm sure you'll like it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I already have it as default launcher. The home button works fine and goes to apex, its just literally when I've clicked on a notification.

Thats weird, maybe you can try uninstalling and reinstalling if you haven't already. Also make sure you're using the most recent one since anything that is 1.2.x isn't really compatible with jelly bean (the current version is 1.3.1). But like I said earlier, its been working fine for me and I'm sure there would be complaints in the review section in the play store if many others also had this problem so perhaps it just doesn't play well with your nexus. If you're rooted and running custom rom maybe you can try reflashing with a full wipe to make sure to clean up any remaining problems. Thats all I can think of. Sorry I can't be of any more help. Good luck
PS. Nova is pretty good too as well as go launcher so if it doesn't work out, maybe try those to see if the problem continues.
Ah, figured it out. The tablet just needed a restart. It's all working fine now.
First off, I am a NOOB. So take what I did with a grain of salt, it may not be right. If I could get a senior member to check this out as well. I installed 2 launchers, go launcher hd and adw launcher ex. Then installed wallpaper wizardii, now I can use my pictures to set the background. You have to use "no scroll" in the settings. I am still playing with the functions, and it looks better on go launcher hd than adw launcher ex, but it works.
Rooted kfhd , step by step set up.
Do you have to be rooted to install launchers? I am un rooted and it never shows up in my app list. I can side load just fine, just not launchers. Tried Nova and go had.

if you are rooted, if you move the apps to system/app you can change there permissions. This allows for you to change the launcher to any launcher by default. So that when you press the home button you don't have to be forced back into the amazon launcher. Completely different from side loading the apps. I highly recommend it if you prefer a different launcher like me.

Ok thank you, I did not know that I had to change the permissions and file location. I am going to root my Fire tomorrow and then I will do that.

Word to the wise--DO NOT set your new launcher as default until you are very sure it is working ok. You can get stuck in the boot loader and believe me it is no fun!
Ok I have rooted it and installed apex and it is very nice. Everything is working smoothly. Now i might go make a theme pack to make it look like stock ics. What are the dangers of modifying framework-res.apk?

Although I can only make out half of what you wrote - I can confirm I too had this problem with Apex ("Apex has stopped working"). Luckily, I was able to get into my email through the favorites star and clear defaults. I dont know why, but the Apex launcher will not work for me.

Blurry kindle wallpapers
For anyone whose having a trouble finding a good unblurrywallpaper for you Kindle Fire (if using a launcher):
Search the Google Play store for an app called Wallbase
Once installed, go to Settings --> Resolution --> Select "2560x1600"
Find a wallpaper you like and set it as you wallpaper. WALA! You can also save it so you can ur wallpaper while offline via Wallbase.
I hope people who have problems with blurry Kindle wallpapers get to see this. I was surprised when I found this out! GOOD LUCK!
I have LauncherPro,ADW and Preinstalled Launchers on my S4. Every time I restart my phone if asks me which Launcher I want to use and I pick one and Click "always" but I still have to choose again with each restart. Any ideas?
Thanks
Go into settings application tab and set the main launcher you want to default. (i clear the cache in the launcher app also)
I think it is a bug though, I notice it happens over and over with certain launchers. You have to play with it for a few, it will go away.
Good luck.

If you have root, freeze all but the launcher you want to use with Titanium Backup. If you want to change back to that launcher, thaw it out.

Is anyone experiencing this with a third party launcher, Nova launcher to be exact?
When I click the multi-task button (say, to adjust the brightness), I can't get back directly to the Home screen. If I press the Home or Back key, it takes me to the last app I was using (even when I came from the Home screen).
I went back to the Stock launcher and did not have this issue.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

Hello, you are not alone. I have experience the same thing. I submit the feedback to leeco and they cannot reproduce the problem you and I have. I even attached the video and show it to them. Still nothing. Are you also experience red screen when power to turn off the screen? You can see it on light background or app is running in front of you. Just wondering. Take a look at this thread I have talk to le engineer about this. http://bug.letv.com/us/ue/feedback/detail/A20165FC11YTC20

You're also having this issue with Stock launcher? I only experience this with Nova.
And for the red screen issue, I just tried a few times with light background apps and did not see it.

Yes, it was weird at first. Now it is fine. I still have problem with nova. Take a look in this thread I post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-red-screen-occur-t3511080 I attached the slow motion video zip in there, you will see what I am talking about.
I have the same problem as well but I can confirm its from having nova as a greenified app.

Mine is also on 5.19 US. I may try to reinstall Nova and see if it resolves the issue. Can you please confirm something for me? Do you have the Uninstall button activated when you go to the App Management for Nova? Mine's grayed out so I can't do a normal uninstall from App Management.

Go to open by default and clear default. The uninstall button is not grey out anymore.

I did this and the uninstall button is still grayed out. I even set the launcher back to the Stock one.
I went to the Play store and try to uninstall from there, but instead of Uninstall button, I see a Deactivate. I clicked on it and it says "Nova is a Device Admin and must be deactivated before it can be uninstalled". Any idea on how I can deactivate it?
Nevermind, I found it.

Go to system setting. Click on fingerprint & password. Then tap on Other security options. Then Device administrators. On it, you should able to see nova launcher on the list and deactivate it.

Guys, he has given the solution long ago. Make sure Nova is being able to run in the background. Disable it on the app protection list and this problem should go away.
Nova Launcher 5.0 breaking recent apps
Updated to Nova Launcher 5.0 (released Dec 13) and it looks like the launcher is now disappearing from the Recent Apps menu again on the Pro3. Did the usual setting checks - enable run in background, disable app cleaning, uninstall/reinstall Nova, reboot etc.
Checking if anyone else has this problem and if there's any new Nova settings that might cause this.
Thanks.

Having the same issue after update Nova Launcher 5.0 and rebooted. But also face this issue since beta version. I this happen only the EUI rom because on CM13 its working fine without any issue. Im using X720 on TARS 5.9.20S rom.
Sent from my LEX720 using Tapatalk
At previous version i didn't notice trouble. On 5.0 I notice. Try to solve.
I notice the difference when looking at recent apps but I don't have any issues with Nova working properly.
Not sure when this started but I have found I can no longer uninstall apps by dragging the app to the "Uninstall" on the desktop.
I first noticed this a few months ago.
I am 100% stock on P with latest security and have never messed with the phone.
I use Google Now launcher.
This is no big deal as I just go to settings and apps, find the app and uninstall, i'm just curious if i'm the only one and if anyone knows a solution.
i think this feature works with launcher if u using another launcher maybe it not works try it with stock launcher Quickstep

Thanks, I guess you are probably right in thinking it's a launcher issue as it work fine in settings.
Not worth changing the launcher for such a small issue.
