Can anyone confirm if direct dial shortcuts work for them on Sprint or any variant? I get can't launch application after trying to launch a direct dial shortcut .

I have the same problem on the ATT version running stock/non rooted with Apex Launcher.
On ATT using Nova and Direct Dial works.

Maybe it's apex then... since I'm using that too.

not sure why sammy removed this, and the power widget, from ICS
+1 - me too. Apex launcher on rooted ATT rom and direct dial doesn't work. Reports 'this activity can't be launched'
Fixed in latest version of Apex Launcher 1.2.5

Hi all.
I'm having a problem on my phone whereby the default home screen seems to lose itself after every time my phone goes into lock.
Specs are:
CHECKROM Revolution 1.0
GoLauncher Ex (my choice)
TW 4.5 Launcher
It was working previously with the same as above, and I thought it was the latest update to GoLauncher, but rolling back to a previous APK doesn't work either.
Cheers!

Hmm ...
... could be a GoLauncher Ex issue.
Did you search in the corresponding thread for any solution or similar issues?
Alternatively you can use another launcher like Nemus Launcher app from the Market.
Good luck !
Ok. Try this.
If you don't have titanium backup installed, download it from the market.
When it first opens, at the top in the middle you will see 'backup/restore'. Go into that and select your desired launcher then hit 'wipe data'. Keep in mind you will lose all your widget/launcher setting.
What is weird is that you would think it does the same thing as doing it from settings/application, but it doesn't. The titanium trick has saved me heaps of times when all else has failed.
Also, are you sure it is set as your default or are you just launching it from say 'home switcher' without clearing the old default and setting the new?

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
I just flashed the OMEGA v12 ICS rom and used apex launcher as the default. I clicked the messaging icon on the home screen and it says 'this activity cannot be launched'. I also got this problem as well when I was on wanamlite and hydrogen rom. I don't know how to fix this
i had the same problem as you
Juste delete the shortcut and reassin it

I never actually checked if there would be a setting to turn it on. I assumed it would be on since I had pro
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.
My old Optimus V phone had a launcher that showed the number of missed texts/calls/emails right above the shortcut in the app dock at the bottom of the screen. Is there any modern launcher that does the same thing and works on 4.x JB phones? I'm rooted and ROM'd if it helps.
I've triee sslauncher , this was able but u've got to know how to do it , how to select the text type, the shortcut type... you can try the free version on the play store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher
