Well I have been using Go Launcher and I want to go back to ADW. is there a way to migrate my Go Launcher settings to ADW like how i did with ADW to go launcher back then with desktop migrate?
You can change tha launcher by pressing the middle (home) key and selecting the launcher that you want from list of available launchers. If you have only one you will go to the home of that launcher...
I dont think there is as solution for that. As long as something like "desktop migrate" isnt built into ADW you have to manually reconfigure you home screens.
If I'm not mistaken, desktop migrate works with most launchers. Give it a try.

Desktop migrate works. Sort of... usually the migrated Widgets are empty, means they fail to load. But one could at least try that. You can find it in market.

I've tried desk migrate. It only works from ADW or LauncherPro to Go Launcher

Title say it all. Now we can save hours of time to re-setup the home screen when we have a new launcher. Copy home screen settings over from one launcher to another. Free app

I copied my settings from apex launcher and went to nova launcher bit when I ran the app, it only gave me the option to copy from a previous launcher and not restore. either that or I must be doing something wrong.

On CDMA GNex fwiw
I am running Apex Launcher Pro and have started to notice a problem. When I uninstall apps that I have in folders in Apex Launcher Pro, the icons for those apps are not being removed when i uninstall the apps. I uninstalled roughly 30-40 apps not too long ago and they are all still present in my app folders on my desktop. Is there a way to have Apex remove these icons when uninstalling apps? Currently I have to go and test icons to see if the apps are installed or uninstalled in order to test them, which can be quite annoying if you have a large number of apps.
I am running the latest Apex on a Verizon GS3 running Synergy ROM.
Thanks in advance.
Still looking for info on this.

Try restarting from apex settings

Nope =/
They are not cleared out after a restart. Restarting phone, installing Apex updates, restarting the launcher, or having Apex crash and reload all fail to clear the uninstalled apps.
I am intentionally leaving these in my folders for testing purposes, but I have failed to find a fix. I have paid for both Apex Pro and Nova Pro and have been an Apex user for a long time now. I may have to switch to Nova if I can't figure out what is causing this, but I would prefer to find a fix as I enjoy Apex.
I thought maybe we could all get on one page with launchers that work on rooted kindle fire hd. These work fine with no problems:
ADW ex
Nova launcher prime
Go launcher hd
FTL launcher pro
I also downloaded windows seven pro, it does work but it is a bit laggy and needs tweaking. (Yes I know, but I just couldn't help myself, wanted to try anyways)
Note to moderator: if you do not see a need for this thread, please delete.
Apex Launcher
thanks! which launcher would you suggest? are there any you can just download off play without further ado?
No all have to be moved to system apps and modified, (see go launcher thread)
I really like Nova and go launcher hd.
I've tried 4 different launchers:
Nova Launcher 1.21- worked after installing, would not start on reboot
Go Launcher HD- works, but the background image doesn't size right/shifts every time you rotate the screen
Apex Launcher 1.3- would not install
Nova Launcher Prime 1.0.1- works, no hide dock feature
Nova Launcher Prime 1.2- works well, slow to start, most features functional
the best way to figure out if a launcher will work is to download it, move it to system/apps, change permissions to rw--r---r---, DON'T INSTALL IT, reboot your kindle, and it should prompt you you when it starts to choose a launcher

Apex launcher works very well for me. Lots of controls - if you use 'em. Mostly, it just looks clean, and the maker took some pains to make sure that it worked well.

Mine worked perfectly fine once I got it moved to /system/app.
Whenever I rotate my Kindle to landspace while using Nova or Apex, it gets extremely laggy. Does anyone else have this problem?
Go Launcher HD
I can confirm that this works.
Have to be rooted, and side load it using Root Browser, by copying it to /system/app
Didn't even have to restart it, hit the Home button and asked me which launcher I wanted to use.
GOOD BYE AMAZON GARBAGE LAUNCHER

So, wallpaper scrolling works fine on the default launcher, but with all the custom launchers I have tried (Nova, Apex, Evie, Appollo, Microsoft) it doesn't work. Has anyone else come across this issue? Is there any solution?
Try to set the wallpaper with Google photos or similar app.

Tried that, doesn't make a difference, neither does like force stop and clearing cache on the launcher
Nova launcher supports force wallpaper scrolling. If you're in beta, this option has been removed (I tried finding it but to no avail) but if youre in stable, it should be on Nova Settings > Deskop > Wallpaper Scrolling and then choose Force. This solved my issue.
A lot of Huawei devices have this issue. So far i havent been able to find a fix for detecting background scrolling in live wallpapers.
