I successfully rooted my NT (thank you Indirect) and in setting up GoLauncher with its initial settings, it noted that there was a new "tablet" setting for the launcher which makes icons and such larger.
I hate this look.
Is there any way to change it back to the settings for a phone instead of having everything larger? I've scoured the settings to change it to the phone size, but can't find it. I thought I'd be able to uninstall it and reinstall it, but I can't even figure out how to do that.
can anyone help?
I know there is a setting, but I'm not near my NT to look. When Go Launcher updated on my NT a couple of days ago there was a pop up that said the location. I'll post back when I find it.
I use appmenu so i can manage the app. Then uninstall the update and from market i unflag the automatic update... Old version done

Yeah, I tried this, but it's not quite the same. I was really hoping for the phone sized option instead. Everything's scaled down and not just some of the icons.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
yes,I dislike that large icon neither
so I just reinstalled the old version
you can download it from their web

OK, dumb question then. How do i uninstall it? I've been using Uninstaller to uninstall apps off the tablet, but GoLauncher doesn't display in the list of apps. Is there somewhere else to uninstall it from?

Hi,
When ever I turn my phone on, I always get:
"Unfortunately, Apex Launcher has stopped"
What could be causing this?
use android injector from your pc to install any other additional launcher. clear cache and data of apex
Or you can uninstall and reinstall apex launcher again.

just in case you have done a backup before you can try this:
go in recovery mode, backup and restore/advanced restore/choose the backup/restore system..... that should fix
otherways if you don't have a backup done you can load the same deodex rom on your external/sd and then go on recovery.....
hope this will help you

for that purpose he can use "android injector" to install any launcher, after that he can switch to that launcher and install/reinstall/uninstall apex
Tried Android Injector for the same problem, fails to load new launcher every time. Thanks anyway for the suggestion though

please tell me how to clear cache

not to necro, but heres an easy fix
The problem was bad (or improperly upgraded?) saved data in the launcher app. Here's how I fixed it.
At the dialog above, press "Report"
When in the report screen, drag down the notification bar at the top of the screen.
Press the settings button in the upper left of the notifications area.
Tap "Apps", then "All", then Apex find Launcher in the list. Tap Apex Launcher.
Tap "Clear Data".
You lose your home screen customizations, but at least the phone now works again.
you can also just choose to uninstall it

Same here, after the update today (09/24) Apex launcher froze. Since I had another launcher no issue with phone's operation.
Is clearing the data only option? or is there any issue with the latest update?
Clear data didn't help me after today's problem.. seems to me that there's a problem with this certain update
you can enter the settings using the drag-down menu and then uninstall updates to the launcher
you lose your settings and home screen..
I had backups for them so just restored them and it's working again
hopefully they'll fix it soon
same here
on Droid X ICS Gummy
Updated launcher today...
Had to uninstall the update
all better now
Thx

This is the only thing that worked for me. Uninstall updates. It seems that the new version of Apex Launcher (v1.2.5) constantly crashes. Hopefully v1.2.6 comes out soon!
Looks like an issue across the board, I'm still stuck.. All users have reported the issue in the Play storelink
From s3forums:
"The Dev has been contacted and a fix in progress"
Who knows how long but at least they know. I'm gonna keep my settings for now and suffer with my uncustomized Go or TW or whatever for now. Hopefully it wont be long. Nice beta testing huh.....
Ver:1.3.1 working great

Apex Launcher is back, dev has done a great job in bring it back in a day!! Go ahead and grab the latest version and enjoy the launcher.
I installed Nova launcher to get my phone working. And to be honest, I think I stick with it for a while. Multi select app to put them on a page or create a map is very easy.
Maybe it is also possible with Apex, but it have not found it.
Ok so I was running per app dpi settings and it works perfectly for non system apps. Although, when i try to set tablet mode for settings, it will Force Close. Is there any way around this?

Honestly I never could get certain system apps to set correct dpi using touchwiz. If i remember correctly the phone dpi was the big issue for me. I didn't play around with it 2 much. It was one of the reasons I switched to aosp so i'm able to set the dpi to 240 and everything works correctly.
I'm pretty sure when you set it to tablet apk it doesn't really do anything unless there is a seperate apk for tablet settings. I remember this from a few files I extracted from Moon ROM.
Some apps can't run in lower DPIs and will fc. It also sounds like if you have the tablet option, you may have an outdated version of xposed app dpi settings. The newer one doesn't have a tab for tablet vs non tablet.

Maybe im not understanding. When you say tablet mode is that simply a dpi and res that makes setting look like on a tablet or are you running a module that does this and then you have to manually adjust the setting dpi to get it to work?
At one point when I was using the tablet mod (not the flashable one) my setting fc'd. Im not sure which might work for your case, but I might try setting the dpi you think is supposed to work then reboot. Maybe it needs a reboot after each change. (or again im not sure your situation- make a save copy of system settings app, reinstall it and make sure you change it to have the same permissions as all other sysyem apps. This would be if say you had a mod on for tablet mode and now settings was fc)
does anyone know how to force chrome browser into displaying with tabs on the hd6 rather than the small screen mobile display?
I'm aware dolphin & other browsers have the tab navigation but I'm loathed to lose the bookmark sync with my other devices.

You can use Xposed / AppSettings . Then set dpi to a huge number, or the screen size to a huge number. One of these should work. I had tabs, and wanted to switch, so that's what I did:

thanks, I tried changing both dpi & screen resolution and the res change showed a single tab as the page loaded - then blanked out as the page load completed.
can you suggest a specific setting? it does indeed feel like the right app for the job. i'd never heard of it before so cheers for the heads-up.

thanks but unfortunately it's behaving exactly as described earlier with shown tab vanishing on page-load. I'll be fiddling with more combinations tonight and if I get lucky will share..

good idea, I'm on the latest version updated thru play store. guess it's be worth trying the beta, dev or canary versions. thanks again.
I got this to work using dpi of 213. You can also use 160 but I found the tabs too small and fiddly with that setting.

I recently got the Reno 3 Pro. Great phone so far.
When I installed my favorite launcher, I found out, that there is no possibility to set/keep it as standard.
In app management>default app the content for Homescreen is missing ....
Got the latest ColorOS update.

Strange, I have the home screen option in default app settings as attached.
I would suggest install some other launcher and click home, it will ask you to choose which should be default as checkbox, choose your fav launcher and uninstall the other launcher.

Did you try installing some other new launcher and try to click home button which should ask what launcher to use, there you can see check box always use the same launcher.

Yes, I did. When I then click the home button it asks me whether I want to set the new launcher as standard launcher - so far ok. When I then click yes, then I get the screen with "standard home app" saying "no app"

Very strange,
Can you try installing QuickHomeSwitcher and see if it shows other launchers for you to select.

FYI: There are many home screen switcher apps available few are virus too thats why sharing link which I installed and tested.

Thank you, I tried the app, but whenever I open it, it's not going to open but switches immediately to the first screen (Homescreen) of the oppo Reno standard launcher.
What I do now is, I start my favorite launcher and it runs like a normal app. To keep it open, I always have to switch back to it in the recent app list. When I end/kill it, then of course I get the standard launcher Homescreen back.
Very strange for me too, I have been working with many smartphones yet, also rooting and flashing things forwards and backwards but not yet encountered a problem like this
Enclosed a picture of my given default app list where Homescreen is simply missing
