Does anyone know how to clear the defaults for TWlauncher/Touchwiz Launcher? I have Launcher Pro installed but I accidentally selected TWlauncher as my default. I went to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/MANAGE APPLICATIONS but Touchwiz Launcher/TWlauncher isn't listed to remove the default.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Delete launcher Pro and download again, the option to make Launcher Pro your default launcher should pop up again.
You can also download a DIFFERENT launcher to force the window to show again if you don't want to remove Launcher Pro.
Much easier way
From home, menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications
Now you may need to hit menu -> filter and select All if you are using the stock launcher (i.e. touchwiz).
Find the current launcher, Look for the section "Launch by default" and select "Clear defaults". The next time you hit home it will prompt you to select a default again.
Edit: if touchwiz is the default now, you are looking forTwLauncher

Yeah! This works. I don't know why I didn't think of it myself. Thanks a lot.

It doesn't list touchwiz or TwLauncher in manage applications. I downloaded another launcher and I was able to select which launcher again. Thanks for replying.

did you set the filter to "All"?
you have to do what he said and hit menu>filter>all
they will all show up including twlauncher
That actually works for anytime you are asked to select an application to open something, i.e. a browser or for viewing youtube.

I downloaded adw launcher but i selected SE theme as default in order to experiment with adw later. But now i can't find adw launcher anywhere to activate it. And in the market i can't open it, it only says i downloaded it.
can anyone tell me where to go to open adw launcher?
you have to delete the cache or something from the default launcher (in app menu)
or you install the app "Home Switcher"
In case you still haven´t found the ADW Launcher, you have to clear the defaults in settings - applications - manage applications - home screen. After when you press the home button you will be asked what screen you´d like to use.

I'm currently on the latest nightly for cm12 (18th Feb) and I can't seem to find a setting to change the default launcher and I'm just stuck with trebuchet. On my nexus 5 there is a home setting under personalisation. Am I missing something or has this functionality not been implemented on the nexus 9 yet?

Hi, qwerty2626...
It shouldn't be too difficult to change the default launcher.... All you have to do is clear the default setting.
Go to SETTINGS>>APPS>>
** scroll horizontally to the ALL TAB
** scroll down to locate the TREBUCHET launcher
** tap on it to ENTER
** tap on the CLEAR DEFAULTS button
Press the HOME button, and you should be presented with a list of all your installed launchers.
Select the one you want to make the new default.
See attached screenshots, for an example of clearing Nova Launcher as the default launcher.
---
Or alternatively, install Default App Manager Lite, from Google PlayStore...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager
This app lists all of your app default settings, and provides an easy way of changing them.
Hope this helps.

Since when is Trebuncha(sp?) back? I litterly just left cm12 on the nexus 6 to try another rom and the only launcher that was installed on there before I put on nova as just the native launcher that motorola use. Its just called launcher.

Hi, the_rooter...
I have no idea if Trebuchet is back or not... I'm not running CM12... I was just giving some general guidance to the OP on how the default launcher can be changed. And since the OP mentioned Trebuchet, I just assumed it was still part of CM.

I dont think it is. Thats one of the main reasons I only test cm12 to see if they bring it back. Trebuchet has so many great features and now they use the launcher apk and its empty. Like we stated nothing that a custom launcher can do but still. Its sad to see that Trebuchet is not around.
Edit: Below is the article to state that it was in fact removed from cm12.

I've tried to do this and when I go into the app details there are no defaults on the launcher or at least None that can be cleared, even the app you posted can't do it either. I guess cyanogenmod did this on purpose for whatever reason so I guess I'll just have to wait and see if they implement a way to change it. As for trebuchet taking another look I don't think it is, just assumed it was after using cyanogenmod for so long!
So I want to install Google Now Launcher on my RN2 Prime with the official global dev ROM, but when I try to open it, it says I need to go to settings and select it over the default launcher. When I get there, Google Now doesn't show up-has anyone else had this problem, or are there more ways to install it?
Go to recent apps, long press on the cross -> Defaults -> Launcher, choose Google Now Launcher.

Before this you need to enable autorun for google app and google launcher then reboot. After you can follow the snowk suggestion i have tested in this moment for security
If it doesnt work you might to try search something called "gel" in google services to unlock. Try one of the apps like Myandroidtools
So I actually just have no idea what I'm doing, I just needed to install it from Play store and instead of pressing "open" like I usually do, press the home button so it asks me what launcher to use for the action. Sorry I had not tried this before, but just for the record for anyone else who happens to have the same challenge.
I had similar problem..I downloaded Nova launcher and used it for a while..then later Google now launcher appeared on the default app{ "launcher"} settings..the best I swapped to GNL..:good:
Pretty much what happens is, I download it at the play store, and open the launcher. It works fine, but when I push the home button, it goes back to the stock launcher. Every time, I try to set a launcher as the default one, my screen just kind of jumps from the bottom up, and nothing happens. For the Google Now launcher, It gives me the prompt to either cancel, or go into settings. After selecting settings, it does the weird jump again. Kind of getting annoyed, since the stock Emui launcher doesn't have an app drawer. I tired it rooted, and unrooted. I do not have busybox installed, so I'm stumped. Is there hidden settings somewhere to change the default home launcher? I can't find it unlike the previous version. Maybe someone who has had the same problem as me, can shed some light into this problem. Thank you.
goto settings>apps
then click on 'advanced'.
there you can find default app settings,click on it and select launcher and set your desired launcher as default.
and dont forget to add that launcher in protected apps
