I accidentally made htc sense my default but I like go launcher a little better. How do I make go launcher my default again? I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it still doesn't ask me which launcher to use when I hit the home button. Does anyone know how to reset which launcher I want to use.
Thanks.

Home Switcher from the market will do it easily.
Download home switcher from the market. Then you can switch back and forth any time.
Settings-aplications-manage applications....
Find sense and clear data

Go to settings/applications/manage applications/select the 'running' tab @ the top find and select "HTC Sense" then scroll down and click the 'clear defaults' button.
Next time you hit "home" it will ask what you want to use and if you want that program to then be the default

I tried ADW and loved it, but went back to TW when I realized that I couldn't use the samsung apps. I have now decided that I don't need them and can't get back to ADW.
I tried:
Going into the app manager and found no love
Reinstalling ADW, still no joy
Reinstalling ADW from a backup with no warm fuzzies there either

Have you tried going to settings, manage apps, then finding two launcher and clearing defaults?

Ya, I tried that first but TW is not listed in the application manager so you can't do anything there.
Thanks afive720
you got me thinking and I figured it out.
I installed launcher Pro which I had never used on this phone before when I hit the home button it gave the option of changing the launcher like it should and I picked ADW instead! Now I can uninstall Launcher Pro and I'm good to go!
Oh, the irony I just used launcher Pro to install ADW. lmao

Nice! Reason you didn't find it is because by default, it only lists third party apps. What you need to do is hit menu, and change the filter to display all. Then, you will be able to clear defaults on tw launcher. Just incase you need to in the future, hope it helped lol.

I believe there is an app on the market called home switcher and it lets you choose what home you want as your default right from that app.

That is hilarious, I was just going to suggest that... this same thing
happened to me.
I installed ADW, but I stupidly hit "default" and hit the samsung launcher... DOH!
I, as well, could not find the launcher to clear its default setting.
Then I, out of the blue, decided to install LauncherPro, and BAM...
The option to choose "Home" popped up!!
You are not the only one to use LauncherPro ONLY to get ADW back..

What ROM are you running at the moment or SE firmware?
That can determine if you can get the app drawer back or not?
And, how did you delete it?
Andriod 2.2.1
andriod 2.2.1 cyanogenmod 6.1.1
Or simply reflash or backup apsa on astro and restore.

What launcher are you using bro?
Can you try long press on the dock menu? I think you see there open all apps drawer or something.

I've done this plenty of times, im using adw Launcher so this could be different for other launchers
Long press on your home screen, Launcher actions, then select open/close App Drawer.

i have seen in adw launcher but cannot find open/close appdrawer i have too much games and other data so cannot change my andriod
Easiest way would be to install a different launcher.
I believe you can also add a shortcut of the app drawer.
How do I switch launchers?
Thank you for taking my question.

You get one from the market, either paid or free. Some examples... go launcher, adw launcher. Once installed, press the home button and you get two options.. Tw launcher or the one you just installed, make the one you installed default.
Then that's it. Though you might want to disable the tw launcher from an app like titanium backup.

Thank you for taking my question. Maybe it didn't came out right. What I meant to ask was that once I have a few launchers on my phone how do I switch from on to another?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Oh I see now. Once you pick a launcher to launch by default I don't know how to get that little pop up back... but.. I know that when a launcher updates you get that little pop up back. It happened to my dad, he was stuck like that for a day when it updated automatically on him, I had to set his launcher to a default again.
dunno if you're up for re-installing one?? or putting another one to get that little pop up back?

Go into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, select the launcher you are currently using then select the Clear Defaults button. You shoud get prompted to select a launcher when you press the home button.
Download the App homeswitcher if you want to have and use multiple Launchers. You can easily switch between ADW, LPP, ADW Ex, and other stuff on the fly.
try downloading home switcher for froyo, ive been using it forever and it still works
Is there any way to remove the persistent Google search bar?

you can either go to system settings>applications and disable google search, or go to the themes and applications section of the forum and pick up Trebuchet Launcher which has the option to remove the bar and even more good stuff

How do i make it my default launcher?
go to settings>applications and under all applications you should see both launchers. Disable the stock launcher defaults. Then when you go to use your phone the system will prompt you to pick which launcher to use/ make default
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks for all ur help and all. But when I go to all applications I don't see both launchers. I installed trebuchet thru CWM. It says it installed successfully. Any more help would be appreciated

Usually after i install launcher, when I press home button it ask for default launcher.
But try going to all applications again and clearing defaults for your current Launcher.
Arrgggh! Someone please help, as this is driving me nuts. I have set ADW EX as my default using Homeswitcher, but every time I press the home button, the evil TW is back.
It must be simple, but I'm missing it. Any help appreciated
first you need root and 2nd you need some kind of root explorer. then navigate to system/app choose seclauncher2 and rename it to seclauncher2.apk.bak. but keep you other launcher active.
or i think you can go to settings/apps and try to deactivate it but not sure if thats gonna work, that does not work with all apps
Go to
Settings > apps
Search for touchwhiz
Select
Then clear defaults
Press home key
Chose add as default
And boom

I have used Android since Cupcake on the HTC Dream/G1. I have used non-stock launchers for 2+ years. Trust me, this was different.
Normally, I install the new launcher, press home and then get asked which to use and set by default using the tick box. That should be it, but TW kept coming back as default. Even using home switcher, which has never failed me.

That's odd, as I have a Galaxy Note too, and that behaviour doesn't happen, even on ICS. Only the S3 confused me :-D
I have no issues using apex launcher on the s3, same as it has been for every other android version, maybe its an issue with the specific launchers you are using.
