I bought a cheap Chinese head unit 8802. I've tried my hardest to set the launcher to one that I have downloaded but no matter what it always opens to the stock launcher. I've also tried automate apps to have the launcher open upon boot but they don't work either.
Any advice would be appreciated! The deep settings where you put the 1983 code in of this unit are all in Chinese and worthless. I would give up but the stock launcher doesn't seem to even let you add apps to the home screen. Otherwise it's a nice cheap unit.
Figured it out thanks to a tip on YouTube. Once I set the default launcher I disconnected the battery and reconnected it and now it boots up to whatever you set as default. Must be the way the unit handles memory.

Hi guys, something's wrong with my kindle fire...
I was browsing the android market and the screen was suddenly frozen.
Then I long press the power button to turn it off and restart again.
But when it's turned on, the kindle fire launcher keeps flashing (Go launcher works fine).
So I restart my kindle again to see if this problem will go away, but it keeps flashing...
Also, every time I turn my kindle on, it says sign-in is required before accessing the Internet. But after I signed in, this notification just pop up again...
Anyone can help me please?
Thanks!!!
(it's a bit long, sorry about that!)
are the restrictions in settings active ? maybe turn on and off again
but about the flashing launcher ???
sorry - no more ideas ...
Thank you b63.
But that's not working...
Actually the sing-in part is not that annoying and I think that happens because of the default launcher.
Let me give more details about my problem.
So I have 2 launchers: the default one and GO launcher
Go launcher works perfectly, as I have said.
But once I switch to default launcher, I can see the launcher interface for one second or two, and it turns black for few seconds and the interface shows up again....
And my kindle keep doing this repeatedly.
(the notification bar is working, so I can still switch to Go launcher)
Thank you guys for helping me!
i'm using the same configuration
have set go launcher as default launcher and use stock launcher when i need it
works perfect
maybe try to reset the defaults of both launchers:
settings - apps - go (& stock) launcher - defaults (all at the bottom)
I changed to 305ppi working fine
then I revert back to 149 (the device's native) now my launcher would force close all the time.
Now I can't launch anything, can't even change back
what could I do.... please help!!!
I had a problem where the launcher would crash repeatedly and I'd have to hit Ok or something. The system did work though so I was able to navigate to settings, while constantly hitting OK (to accept my launcher had crashed again).
In settings I was able to remove the Set as default option from the launcher and so the next time I hit Home I was asked to select a launcher - Here I chose another one and all was OK.
I installed ADW launcher and it launched just fine, but the stock browser, holo, go, and the likes are not, ADW is the only one
Also I couldn't get Chrome to run anymore, constantly crash, just like the stock launcher....
The icon in ADW is also 75% smaller, which I have no clue to fix or reverse this
grr
I'm on the new Joying 2GB RAM, Intel unit, 8 inch double din. Sometimes I find the Joying default launcher boring. I wish I could get the KLD Launcher to work on it, but I'm not sure how. So I tried a few from the Play Store.
I used Nova, but it keeps the Dock on the right hand side, instead of putting it at the bottom. Even if you try to force Landscape it keeps it on the right hand side.
I tried a bunch, but I think I found my favorite:

with nova launcher, you can't use landscape dock , but you can disable it, and display on the desk the apps you want , like this .
you can choose icon, size, label or not, etc ...
this is what i did in my car .

How did you get the app drawer icon on the bottom like that?
put your finger on the app drawer's icon (which appears often on the dock (right side) )you keep your finger on it, and slide it to the bottom of the desk .

I figured it out. Leave the dock on, just get rid of the platform, then you can pull it out. If you turn the Dock off entirely the App icon disappeared
Now I need a good clock and weather widget, basically just trying to recreate the KLD launcher

You can create a 'shortcut' or widget to any of the Nova actions (Including open app drawer) on the homescreen.
You can disable the dock, and create an app drawer icon to go anywhere.
Personally, I don't use the app drawer icon. I change Nova's button behavior so that when I press home it opens the app drawer. Look in the settings in Nova. TONS of ways to customize this to your use.
I cant seem to get Widgets to work on any of these launchers. Let me correct that, I can't get a large widget to work, like the clock or whatever. If I put a shortcut, like a playlist in Google Play Music, it works fine. If I try to put on something simple like the Clock widget, it just says no more room on the screen
I have a problem when using nova launcher.
Everytime I set it up and arrange everything the way I like it. After I restart my unit I end up with blank screen tiles (no apps, app drawer, nothing). Which almost had me stuck there since there is no way to access the settings to uninstall nova launcher. But I figured out how to open the GPS with the hardware buttons. That lets me get to the downloaded apps, after I uninstall nova launcher the problem is gone.
Not sure why this happens. But I would like to change the launcher because the stock launcher is kind of boring.
Has anyone tried this Car Launcher Pro? It is made for these units, and has trial version too. I think I'm going with that when I receive my new unit.
Sorry, can't post link here yet.
Looks cool!

I never got it from the Play Store, at one point it was built into Malaysk ROM, but I didn't like the layout
Is there any way to change a head unit's default launcher?
I have a (T3 K2001m cortex A7 android 6.0.1) head unit which has an ugly and useless launcher. I want to change this launcher to another one like CarWebGuru. But on every boot factory launcher is on screen even I changed default launcher in OS.
Also I changed styles in advance menu but on every boot every thing goes to factory settings. There is some thing like HORM in windows.
If you know anything about this problem please tell me.

set your new launcher as default, then go to settings > apps and disable the factory launcher, reboot and try again

I tried it, it just reenables it
well, you could try to uninstall the default launcher, but first set the new launcher as default.
you'll need root access for that, and most of these boxes have root access by default.
so just search google play for a system app remover, just make sure you're removing the correct app so you don't blame me for messing up your box
I'm kinda nervous at deleting system apps, by the way I am gonna sleep rn
ya if you're not comfortable doing it, i suggest not to do it.
