How do I make ADW the default launcher? When I hit the home button, it brings LauncherPro back up.

Go to settings, manage applications, choose LauncherPro and clear defaults. Go back to home screen and you will be given the option to choose your default launcher.
Thanks for the quick reply. Now why didn't I remember that?

I installed Kaosfroyo on my Eris, but only have 5 homescreens. Can't find method to got to 7, even though I saw it after first powerup. Help?
The stock android launcher only goes up to 5. KaosFroyo comes with the ADW launcher baked in. You should be able to go to Settings > ADW Launcher and there should be an option somewhere in one of those menus to change it to 7. If, for some reason, the stock launcher is running, you will need to switch the default launcher back to ADW/LauncherPro/etc in the Settings > Applications >Manage Applications section.
Home Screens
I don't see "ADW Launcher" anywhere. If I look in "Manage Apps" it shows Launcher 2.2. No options to change it, that I could find.
If you are running KaosFroyo v34 then you should have the new ADW Launcher as default. Press the menu button and then click on edit. On the top right and left of the screen are two green plus buttons, press one to add a screen.
Home screens
I installed Kaosfroyo v29. Is that an old version? Can I upgrade to V34, or is it a seperate download?
Every home manager I have used, changes the launcher, but every time I press the hardware button it always gets me to the default launcher. Is there any way every time I change launcher it goes default automaticly? Thanks ,
I'm running CM9 & I use GoEx, so I have Trebuchet (default launcher) frozen with Ti. That works for me.
I want to change betwin two full working launchers.. (including the hardware button every time..)
I already can do it but have to: 1. Run home manager, 2. Select the launcher, 3. Make it default.
Cant I do all this just by pressing a shorcut?...

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to press the home button and get to choose from your launchers? Then go to Settings > Applications, select the currently default launcher and press 'clear defaults'.

No perhaps , because my English are not that good.. What you write is what I don't want and already happening..
Let's say I have now Apex. Default launcher is Apex. Ok?
I select Nova. But when I press the hardware button it goes back in Apex... I want when I press the hardware button to stay in Nova and goes to first page of Nova.
So every time I choose a launcher I want to automaticly set it default.. Isn't this possible? With just one click of a shortcut.

Let me frame this for you in a simpler way
For Example you have APEX launcher as ur default. Go to Settings and then go to Apps/Applications.In that list select APEX Launcher.Scroll down and there you will see an option as "Clear Defaults".Click that.After doing so whenever you will press the home screen button it will ask for the launcher you want to use.
Hope that helps

Go locker needs to have go launcher installed. Just don't remove go launcher, but use whatever wish as default and try.
To use Go Locker you must have Go Launcher installed.. You can also use other lockscreen launchers like WidgetLocker, comes with a variety of themes too!
well, the problem is, when i turn of the screen and press any buttons it unlocks automatically when under nova launcher, but when i switch it to Go Launcher, the Go locker works perfectly, pressing home button or any buttons dont unlock or go to the default page on my phone,
when i set up my default launcher to Go Locker, it also sets the default to Go Launcher, i dont know how to make it run smoothly, and if i set it to nova launcher and activate the Go Locker, when i press the home button it bypass the Go Locker and go to my default page, it sucks
Is there a way I can flip back and forth between a custom launcher and the stock launcher?
Basically I want to have 2 separate looks, widgets, etc for both and decide which I like better. Please advise.
You can use the touchwiz launcher and e.x nova launcher. If you press the home button it asks which launcher you want to use. If it doesn't show, you must clear the settings of the launcher you use in the app settings menu.

That also works. What happens when u press the home button?
bottom keys light up but nothing else
Then you must go to settings > application manager > Go Launcher > clear defaults. When you press the home button again, it will asks which launcher you want to use.
thanks bro!
I've got Nova Launcher installed, but can't work out how to set it as the default launcher in nougat (I don't get offered it as an option when I press the home button). Any ideas??

Go to nova settings and there on the top you will be offered to select nova as default, if not just scroll down and you will have a option to set it as default launcher.
second way:
go to LG5/setup ->Homescreen firts position!
there you can select your preferred launcher
