I have cleared all defaults and cleaned cache every time I set next launcher default and power off my phone it wants me to reselect a default launcher again and I didnt have this problem before I rooted my device with casual thanks for any help.
Yeah I have the same problem. Read somewhere we need to use rom toolbox and create a line like this.
ro.Home_App_ADJ=1
But it didnt say where to write it.

use root explorer , set your root to r/w and edit your build prop. add the line
Code:
ro.Home_App_ADJ=1
somewhere at the end of the build.prop. save your build.prop. set your root back to ro and reboot. Hopefully this works. Also Buzz Launcher is a good launcher that works, is free, and has alot of customizations.
Ok tried this and it doesn't work. Tried case sensitive letters also. Went into system, found build prop file, changed system to r/w wrote the line
ro.home_app_adj=1
saved line and rebooted. Still not working. Why ?

This is weird as i have never heard this one before. What rom/kernel are you running, and what modifications if any have you made to your phone as loading extra mods in recovery that over write the system.?
only other thing i can think of right off hand, is renaming the samsung setup to a .bak file so that it does not run. Not sure if this is even related with the next launcher.
Running rXTREME v9.0 rom with latest Boeffla kernel, And modded with Madtheme. From first bootup up of next launcher it has never been the default phone launcher. When rebooting It always has the choose launcher screen, with the option to "use always". Which doesnt save. And then asks to clear all defaults. Before finally loading. That line is the only option ive read for this problem. And it doesn't work for me.

how do I put a launcher into system apps? Just drag and drop somewhere?
Move the app to /system/Apps then change the permissions to rw-r--r--

I feel like an idiot for asking this but, under what directory is my launcher located? lol
If u downloaded one from market it should be under /data/app
Then just find the apk. Mine was golauncher that I moved. It had a different name for the apk but was similar. Had go launcher in the name.

Just do NOT freeze or remove you current launcher(for example blur home) until u know your new launcher is working right as u could get stuck.
I'm using es file explorer and when i navigate to "/data" the folder is empty.
Could some explain the purpose of moving an add-on launcher to " /system/Apps "?
Or what is the Op trying to do?
Thanks
BTW Do not freeze the stock Home app as you will never be able to boot to safe mode and avoid an SBF when you could have uninstalled a bad program instead.

Are u rooted?
Is there an option in es file menu settings to browse as root?
I use root explorer for ALL my file management needs. It is worth the money spent to have it FOREVER
And i moved itI to system because I have my blue home sitting on my sd card so it don't run.
So if I do a user data wipe it doesn't delete it ....at least it hasn't deleted it yet...it tricks the phone to think it is a true system app. U only lose it when flashing a new rom or something that delete ir overwrite your /system
And im on eclipse remix. It seems that ALL my system apps have owners root and root.
So I dunno if changing to that helps anything but I did that along with permission changes.
Safe mode boot:
Phone off.
Hold menu (left most) key while pwr'ing on and keep on the menu key until long vibrate or lock screen.
Save yourself from at worst, reflashing your rom, leave your stock home app alone.
So what is the purpose of moving the launcher?
Hi,
I tried to change DPI through LCD density modder app to dpi 226 in my sgs2.
After that the phone dont boot-up and got stuck at yellow triangle screen
I can go to CMW mode but dnt have any backup in that.i flashed Cf root again to check if that work,but nothing happen
NOTE: it got bricked because of change in DPI.not because of flashing wrong kernel so Flashing kernel wont help me
What to do,please help me
Can you mount USB in CWM to change the kernel ?
Because some kernels, like Siyah (I THINK ! I don't use Siyah...) purpose to clear some folder including DPI section...
So you can try to take one of this kernels, flash one, and find this option...
I'm not sure, just a supposition

You should be able to connect to your computer in CWM recovery mode, and edit the dpi setting in your build.prop file.
failing that, worst case scenario, just copy a new rom to ya sd and flash it in cwm, a custom one
seriously, you got bitten my friend, next time, do a nandroid backup and backup ya efs folder, double protection, coz seriously if ya gonna mess with stuff like the build.prop then ya need a backup plan.
If you really want to alter the dpi, then check the lcd density changers on google play, theres a few, but i know a couple of them let you test the dpi out first to see if it works on ya phone, if it doesnt it reverts back.

As above;
1. Download & instal Windows PC programs "Android Commander" and "NotePad++ "(not NotePad)
2. Boot into CWM Recovery
3. Connect to PC USB & allow/edit for any drivers to instal
4. Run Android Commander
5. Navigate to system/build.prop & copy to PC & edit ro.sf.lcd_density=240 with NotePad++. Check there are no entries added by the app (delete them if so) Save and exit
6. Replace build.prop with edited version
7. Exit program, connect USB and reboot
8. All else fails, wipe cache/Dalvik and reflash ROM.
Hope this helps
Edit: don't forget to remove/delete the LCD Modder app from data/app with Android Commander before rebooting, otherwise it may force your previous density changes and back to square one.
You can also extract the build.prop from your ROM download zip with 7Zip and use above method to replace it.

Thank you all for your help
when i flashed CF-ROOT,i didn't work,but when i flashed STOCK KERNEL,it worked
i saw the odin log,stock rom has factory image file which correct the DPI.i think so
Thanks for giving your precious time
I found this thread through google, so thought i might post my experiences for the next person that finds this the same way, maybe some of it will be relevant...
So i did the same thing with my galaxy Note: changed DPI with LCD density modder app, restarted and the phone wouldn't get past the white samsung screen.
I followed UpInTheAir's guide to step 7, but phone still wouldn't start. I hadn't made a backup of the EFS folder so i was getting pretty scared at this point as loading a new rom will wipe this folder and render the phone useless (as far as i understand)
I was reading elsewhere that the permissions need to be set to rw-r--r-- on the build.prop file, so i tried doing this with Android Commander with the phone in CWM recovery. Android Commander was spazzing out, error message when the program opens, constant "loading" bar going, but i just ignored all that. I went to /system/build.prop properties and tried to set the permissions to rw-r--r-- but after accepting that and going to properties again it hadn't updated the permissions.
I've never flashed a ROM before, or changed kernel, but i decided this might be a good time to learn.
I loaded franco.Kernel-r5 for galaxy Note (sorry if this is irrelevant in an S-II forum) but loading into CWM that is built into this kernel (i think it was a different version than i was using before) i was then able to update the permissions with Android Commander(tho it was still spazing out).
Restarted and BOOM she loaded. Understandably i was thanking God big time at that point
anyway, hopefully something in this mess of a post might come in useful to somebody , thanks for the good info UpInTheAir!
Hello, I had the same problem and had to re-flash the firmware.
I've seen on dpi changers comments on market that A LOT OF PEOPLE get the softbrick.
i want to change my dpi.
how am i supposed to do it ?
I can't believe my phone can't stand changing DPI.
Ive changed mine a few times by altering the build prop file but the icons were never centered properly. Eveything was smaller but moved towards top left of the screen. Since then i used Density Modder pro with no issues.

First of all you will get better answers if you asked in your device's relevant thread, TouchWiz Home usually doesn't take too well to dpi changes, you need to install a custom launcher app like apex or Nova, try installing one via adb, and then reboot and select your custom launcher as default when the system prompts you to select a launcher.

Try booting your device into safe mode, it should boot without loading the app that you installed to modify dpi. If you successfully boot into safe mode, you can uninstall the app then reboot.

Hi man, sorry for bothering you again, but I tried to overwrite the file with the file that you gave me but when I tab on paste it says permission denied. My phone is rooted and I am ussing file explorer. What can I do to overwirte the file?
Depends of the file manager/explorer you must mount /system as r/w. In SE file explorer open left side menu, scroll down to root explorer, enable and tap it, you'll get menu with mount r/w option, select rw for system.
Yes, I have already done taht

I undestand what you say, I have already done that, that is why I can get to the system folder but when I try to overwrite the file it says permission denied. why? is it because the superuser app is updating its binary? I will wait until the update is over and try it again. Thanks
You may try to move file to safe location (BACKUP!!!) and then copy new one. Set permission as before.

the binary just finished updating and I just overwrote the files. Is this it to fix the calibration problem? or do I have to do something else?
Reboot your phone (will reboot itself if you try to use gps), go outside and test with GPS Status & Toolbox. Maybe you need to select internal gps in phone settings.

Anyone else using Cerberus? When i change some settings the phone reboots. It also never takes a pic on incorrect password on lockscreen.
I use cerebrus on my unlocked unrooted HTC One. Works perfectly, flawlessly,without any crashes
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If you're using stock kernel then yes, it will reboot on settings save. This happens because Cerberus writes the settings to an xml file in /system/etc so that it can still function even after a factory reset (which wipes data but not system.)
Problem is the stock kernel blocks remount rw and writes to the system partition, thus the reboot.
You'll need to find a custom kernel with rw enabled.
I am running complete stock. Cerebrus works perfectly without any reboots. It even sends me an email of the person as soon as someone enters a wrong unlock code

You can do that from within the app, but you want to make sure you reset the dial code to something you remember too.

Hey jasunto, did you ever get the rebooting to stop? Just rooted my HTC One M7 and installed cerberus through recovery and it reboots every time i change settings. Am a newbie at this. thanks
Well, I was just been trying some build.prop tweaks to get lower screen dencity on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0(running kitkat 4.4.2) and there are generally 2 lines with same name ro.sl.lcd.density=160 (default)( one under screen brightness settings and other under system info)
What i did was that i changed both these to 140 and rebooted(used romtoolbox, its good enough to get a backup or original before even touching it) after the reboot, my systemUI started to crash repeatedly , not letting me open any app, i tried being fast enough to change the values to default but was not able to because systemUI was crashing too fast.
So i decided to use twrp recovery to paste the backup one to original place(/system) so i opened terminal in twrp at / location(root) and typed "cp /sdcard/romtoolbox/build.prop-backups/build.prop /system"(renamed trhe backup file already in file manager in twrp) and it did copying, but the problem was not solved(systemUI crashing) after reboot i tried repeatedly by first deleting build.prop from /system and then copying from backup to there
i checked it was there by typing "ls" by opening terminal in /system and it showed build.prop was there but all this didnt helped me to get my systemUI to respond normaly
so i flashed full stock md5(from sammobile.com) and it is running now
i wanted to ask why was the process i opted didnt worked? what went wrong?
actually when i used to have 4.1.2 on my tab, there were 2 lcd density , but one was 160 and other was 240, so i used to change 160 one to 140 to get tabletUI(I like tabletUI the most) and it went normally with some samsung's default apps not working, or works distorted, but i was happy with that, so when i flashed 4.4.2 to it then i thought to get tabletUI again, but was stuck with the problem stated above!
though it is working now, I just want to know the reason for why didnt my process worked out
