TouchWiz won't stay on by default!

Randomly when I hit the home buttn I am prompted with the option touchwiz or home. I can pick either on while checking the load default and it still asks again a few min later. What am I missing?

That's a first, never had that happen.
Have you recently installed any User interface programs like ADW launcher or launcher pro?
How about any programs in general.. please be a little more specific.
Welcome to the forums!

It only happens to me when I hold the home botton and bring up the task manager. When I hit the home botton again it prompt me to choose the launcher.

Try getting home switcher from the market and tell it to set touchwiz home as you default. See if that works.

I Will try and load my appbrain list but no to launchers. Just goole stuff and a couple widgets.

I can't post links yet so check out appbrain user: ErlyD I have no launcher apps and I did try that home launcher app recommended. But still have the problem.

Sgs tools and you go to the bottom menu and choose which launcher you want and bam! Launcher is set to default. I'm using 2.2 quantum and confirm it works.

Does my epic have to be rooted? I ran the app and set it yet still get the problem. It randomly asks when I hit home. Each time I set default then select touchwiz.

Will factory reset help with this problem? What other way can I reset clean?

I'm having this same issue!
I tried Home Switcher and Home Manager...same exact symptoms.

Download sgs tools from market. Install. Go to bottom menu upgrade stock apps, then choose laucner you want and follow instructions from there, easy fix.

Edit: this only works on rooted phones, I'm sorry if I miss read the problem.

Bottom option is:
.prop editor

I've looked over SGS Tools, over and over again. I do not understand where the option to make this fix is.
Could you give more specific instructions? Thanks!

Same here only .prop editor do we have to be rooted? To use this correctly?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I think I got a fix. I went to manage apps and cleared defaults on touchwiz but also cleared tw data. It sucked cause my icons and everything else I took the time to setup cleared but after rebuilding it seems to be working. Been about an hour now and the menu hasn't popped up.

Sorry guys I must have been way too blazed I swear I read that you guys had the froyo beta and had this problem, as I did have this issue. But it seems some of you are dealing with this on stock, without root and this will only work if you have root.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I believe that this issue is related to the installation of a certain application. As a matter of fact, I uninstalled several applications after going on a few downloading sprees (yeah, I get bored and have money burning a hole in my PayPal account) in hopes of fixing the issue, to no avail.
Otherwise, could it possibly be related to a glitch caused by setting a certain number of icons or widgets on the homescreen, causing the launcher's data to interfere with its default settings?
Either way, I took ErlyD's advice, cleared the data, and will rebuild my homescreens in hopes it won't happen again. Or else I will figure out what causes it.

I would love to follow his advice, but TouchWiz isn't listed in my manage applications list...what the heck!
Actually, none of the stuff that came installed is listed....nascar, amazon, etc.
Where do I find these?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Okay...found it via running programs.
Cleared data.
Didn't solve my problem.
Crap.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

It failed. Sorry for the trouble it lasted longer than before though. I went a few hrs before it popped up. I am going to have to start uninstalling apps to see what happens.

You can change that within the Skype app.

More than welcome, autorun manager is nice as well but you need the paid version for it to be any use and Gemini does the job so well.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

i believe it can also be amended in skype to not auto start or am i missing something?

You can set in the Skype setting, don't tick the automatic.

Skype still has a bad habit of auto starting whenever you receive or make a phone call, signed in or not.
It has TONES of autostart conditions.

Im also looking for the settings so it wont auto start, I cant seem to see it under settings aside from automatically sign in which is already unticked.

You need the reworked SKYPE version hit menu button and option should be there in your face along with exit button.
Note you will have to uninstall original skype before installing the moreworked version. here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16643098#post16643098

If you want to turn off the autostart option do this; disable skype contacts’ sync through Skype settings.

can we make a video call through skype

Ringer Volume Crescendo?

I'm looking for a way to make my ringer start soft and work its way up to full blast.
anyone know how i could do this?

That's actually a standard on samsung phones it should do that automatically unless you use an app or some xposed setting to disable it

I just installed the hyper drive ROM so maybe there's a setting in there. Thanks!

Need help with setting up Tasker for Greenify no root

Hi guys. I don't know if you are familiar with the non root version of greenify, but basically you press the hibernation button and the process goes on by itself.
I tried using tasker to auto hibernate upon display off but it doesn't seem to work. It does indeed start up the hibernation process but it doesn't force close the apps as its intended to do. Can anyone help?

Dumb question, but did you add tasker to the exception list?

Yes I did. I doubt the problem lies within Tasker as such but more the fact that the force closure of apps can't proceed when screen is off. Tasker does its job well.

Make sure u go into accessibility under settings and check the box for tasker if not tasker won't be able to be automatic on stock rom

*#*#4636#*#* does not work

I have a ULM unlocked (non Amazon or Google Fi) version and using Google Phone dialer beta app as my dialer app. In the latest few betas I am not able to do get *#*#4636#*#* working. My Phone app is version is 52.0.322645706-publucbeta.
Can someone check if this working for them?

Don't one of you saw my post on telegram. I tried one and it for something weird for a second then gave me an error.
NOTE:*If some codes don't work on your mobile phone, try to use only**#*in the start of the code and only*#**or only*#*at the end of the secret code. For example**#4636#**or**#4636#.

Nope. Doesn't work. I downloaded a 3rd party phone dialer app and the *#*#*4636#*#* works on a non-Google phone app.

I remember switching to the stock LG dialer once to try that. I had to find the APK. It really messed up my phone until I uninstalled it. May I ask what app you used?

True Dialer.
Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk

Yea, it is a bummer the dialer doesn't recognize the codes any longer. Here's another way to the screen you are looking for.
1) Go to G Play Store.
2) Install Shortcut Master full or lite versions.
3) Launch Shortcut Master
4) Search for com.android.setting.Settings$TestingSettingsActivity and launch it.

That's a really nice way to do it, but in my case it generates a RemoteException of some sort on my Huawei Mate 10 Pro. Is there any app I should disable that's actually doing the check ? Or does it mean Huawei ****ed it up again to prevent us from accessing the hidden settings menu ?
