Hello
It's my first time here so I'm sorry if it's not
the right place to write in!!
I tried lot's of time to enable google now launcher on my GS5
I managed to install it but it never show in the launcher choosing
drawer !!
So plz help
Do you mean the defaulta window when you say, "launcher choosing drawer"? If its not showing there it might show up if you go to the last page/bottom of your settings and find the "default applications" setting and then the first setting should be home, see if it lets you set it there.

It's in the Market settings.
In the market, touch My Apps, then the icon in the top right corner that looks like 4 lines. then uncheck "Add shortcuts for new apps".

Given your forum name and your post I had a lol. I remember I got a bunch of O'Reilly books for $3 or so and by the time I switched back to the desktop it was covered in icons of animals.
I rooted my M and installed the original leaked JB from Moto the day it was available. Today I installed Safestrap 3.07 and created a backup of my current image. Done deal, works fine.
The weird problem is that my launcher doesn't stay active any longer. I use Smart Launcher Pro and have been for a while. Once I rebooted, created a backup with SS, then the default launcher came up and I can't change it.
Any ideas? Silly issue, but if I'm doing something incorrect, I need to know so I don't keep either making the same mistake or become increasingly frustrated trying to work it out.
Thanks folks.
Figured it out. Undefaulted the home screen in Apps cache and made super launcher default.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Running
Click on "Show Cached Programs" in the upper right corner
Find Home Screen and click it. then find the Cache section of the app and clear it
Then when you go back to the home screen, a dialogue box will pop up asking you which program you want to use as a launcher. Select what you want and click "Always".
Worked like a champ for me, hope it does for you.
Hey guys,
Whenever I restart my phone (or turn it on), a dialog pops up asking me to select my default launcher. I select it and press always.
The next time I turn on my phone, the same popup appears even though I selected always.
How come the defaults aren't sticking?
Thanks in advance.

More information may be needed...
Are you rooted or not? If rooted, what ROM are you running?
Also helpful; Does this happen for all app defaults or just the launcher and if just the launcher, which one are you trying to make default?

I am not rooted.
It only appears to be the launcher. I am setting it to be the Standard Launcher (as opposed to the Easy Mode).
Try:
Manage Apps => Reset app preferences

Nope, didn't work.
When I power on the device, I get the following popup "Complete action using" and I have Easy Launcher and TouchWiz home. I select the latter and tap always. This doesn't hold though the next time I power on my device.

You could remove TouchWiz Home with TiBu, then it has no choice but to use Easy Launcher.

Update: it is not just the launcher, no app defaults are saving.

Do a test... Get nova or apex... See if they stick... Then you'll know if its a launcher issue... Whether or not they get saved to the launcher or the ROM...
The issue still persists. I know that other people have had this problem.
Hey guys.
Its been a few days after ive updated my note 3 to nd3 (im using n9005 malaysia).
Didnt notice anything strange until I bought my gear 2 today.
I tried to find my s voice in the app drawer and the settings but couldnt find it.
I remember disabling s voice last time and now after the update even the disabled apps tab (menu key in app drawer) is also missing.
It was replaced with hidden apps instead.
Someone help me please.

I did disable s voice before the update to nd3.
now I couldnt find it in the app drawer. Heck svoice tab on settings were also missing.
Weird thing I notice is that last time u can disable apps thru app drawer.
Now the option is missing and replaced by hide applications.

If you disabled it, is it not under Turned Off apps in Application Manager?

Hey all, just got my new S7E and found a bit of a problem, i installed my usual alarm clock app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ihandysoft.alarmclockpro&hl=en_GB but found the only way i can get into the settings on the app is to go via accessibility options, really don't want to have to have the little floating box around all the time and it's a bit of a hassle having to enable this just to be able to choose an alarm time, just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions other than change my alarm app, was hoping for something along the lines of an option or another app to add triple tap the screen to open in app settings or something?
Any help greatly appreciated as always.
