The Launcher Pro on Axura turned out to be a free "TRIAL" launcher, now that it expired it will not allow me to go to the home screen to select another launcher. Holding the home button brings up the samsung task manager.
How do I bypass that and select a new launcher? Remember I CANNOT acess the home screen at all! tapping the home key takes me to a none existent launcherpro website
Settings - applications - manage applications. Select launcher pro and press ' clear defaults.'
Or just go in the market and update to the latest version.

Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage applications. Find LauncherPro and select it. Select Clear defaults.
Go to settings ,launcher ,clear defaults then you should be able to choose another launcher but I could be wrong I've not used axura for a while now
You guys best me to it lol
Ok you aren't getting what I am saying, I cannot access the homescreen, so no I will not be able to get to the settings. The only screens I can access are whatever is in my upper drawer (eg someone sends a text or email, I can pull down and go to that screen) or whatever is in the Samsung task manager after long pressing the homekey. If not I am stuck on the browser on a nonexistent website.
Go to the market and download Home Switcher App.should fix your issue! If you cant go to the marke.then try using Google to find it! I would post it for you.but I'm only on my vibrant.no wifi for my laptop.

Hey can you uninstall it using the Samsung task manager.click on packages and try uninstalling launcher pro. As long as you already have a different launcher installed. that should work. Try it!

Thanks, but I tried that but it seems once the launcherpro was somehow disabled by the app owners, it does not show up under packages. I cannot see it to disable or even uninstall (which is what I wanna do now!)
At this point it is starting to look like LauncherPro has bricked my device

Can u go to this web page on your phone?

Ok I fixed it
I went to this site (thanks darkside79) http://www.appbrain.com/app/home-switcher-for-froyo/ymst.android.homeswitcherfroyo on my phone. Clicked a link to download directly from the marketplace. That allowed me to go to the market where I uninstalled the LauncherPro. Hitting the homekey brought me to the launcher selection menu, picked Zeam and now I have access to the phone again!
Glad I could help!

Thanks for posting this…I had the same problem. Went to the link you providedand sent the app to my gmail and installed it from the notification bar. I was able to clear the data stored in LauncherPro but was not able to uninstall from the “manage applications” area. (Will try to uninstall thru TitaniumBackup soon…) Then, changed the default launcher from LauncherPro to Zeam and was able to use everything again. Thanks again for the post
Maybe OT, but i wonder why the dev used a trial version of LauncherPro in the final ROM? Maybe he didn't know?

Thanks! I followed your exacts instructions and was able to switch as well finally! Btw, for the people who don't have Froyo yet, use the regular homeswitcher http://www.appbrain.com/app/home-switcher/ymst.android.homeswitcher#
Also thanks to darkside79!
Here is another launcher for ICS. It is like stock launcher but have options like adw and launcher pro ie transparent app drawer, gestures, lock desktop etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452663
I'm definitely gonna try this out. Not sure how much experience yyouve had with this but installing as system app shouldnt remove the default launcher your rom comes with? ie most ICS roms come with trebuchet launcher?
No, it installs as normal app and you don't need to move it to /system folder for widgets to show up in app drawer.
good find on this launcher, it feels alot like launcher pro but totally revamped for ics
just needs resizable widgets

I cant believe i missed that, thanks for the heads up, this is quite an awesome launcher i dont think i can go back to anything that doesnt use ics as a base any more
what do you prefer,this or NOVA?
personally on my galaxy nexus i prefer nova..but only because it's more mature.apex is a month newer,but with already a lot of features..nova,at this time,have more features,but i find apex more speedy and i hadn't got any issues or unstability also on gpu-renderized
works great in ICS passion v 12
Guys and girls, just a heads up - updating Apex Launcher is apparently resulting in Force Close dialog ad nauseam - DO NOT update Apex for now or else you'll be stuck. Thankfully I had Avast installed and using the Avast Application Manager I managed to access Apex's App Info page and uninstalled updates, now back to normal but won't update it for now. Recent Apex reviews on Play Store show that this is not ROM-related or an isolated event. You've been warned. (If you read this that is)...

Last night my phone auto updated the apex launcher and exactly what you said happened. I went into clockwork recovery and tried to restore and it gave an error and now the phone seems bricked. It won't boot up beyond the vibrant screen, and it won't let me get into recovery. What should I do?

Before you tried the restore, did you delete everything *superwipe or format*?
i used apex laucher and i check auto update . but it has a problem so i flash new rom
My phone cones default with above launcher. I just changed to go launcher ex and wanted to remove tw . My phone is roots. Can someone guide me on the removal? I tried holding onto the icon but the "x" does not appear. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
you can download root uninstaller from market and find the twlauncher, and remove it
i wouldnt do it tho, in case your go launcher fails you will lack a launcher to do stuff
you can also delete the tw launcher using root explorer.just navigate to system/app
But as you have been warned delete TW launcher and not replace it phone cannot load .
jje
As JJE has pointed out, removing TW is fraught with danger.
If you really don't like it the best thing to do is install a launcher you do like then freeze the stock launcher in Ti or similar. This way your launcher of choice will be the default. Also bear in mind you can't completely get rid of TW, it is very much baked into your rom and its services are always running in the background/the launcher you use runs on top of it.
I also use GoEx & have the default Miui launcher frozen in Ti. I don't recommend removing anything to do with the stock launcher.
Go launcher allows you to make it your default launcher when setting it up so there's no need to mess with removing tw.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Or flash a rom that doesn;t use TW - like Illusion - go launcher as standard
I have about three launchers in the system / apps folder and use home switcher to change but only really use TW .

I have already made go launcher ex as default. But once a while when I kick on the centre button, the same prompter will appear asking me to choose btw go launcher and tw launcher. Everyttime I tick the box and make go.launcher the default, the prompter will appear again.
That's why I am thinking of removing it altogether. Or perhaps Bro/sis know how to solve the jnial problem?
Have you changed default through go launcher settings as well? because I'm using it and never have that problem. Maybe try clearing defaults in application management for go launcher too.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
OK. Because I'm an all round good guy, I'll repeat this for the 2nd time.
Get Titanium Pro from the Market (or Gemini if you don't want to pay, or several other apps that can freeze apps), and freeze the stock launcher. I have done this in Miui and am using GoEx as my default launcher without having to tick any boxes or without the stock launcher prompting me or appearing out of nowhere.

okay i purchased nova launcher from the sale last week... and its been fighting with sense non stop, every time i leave an app/screen/etc it asks me which launcher i want sense or nova, even when i click for it to use this one all the time it still pops up after closing another app 10 minutes later.
ive tried uninstalling and re installing nova and still get this issue..
has anyone else had this sorta problem?
Set is a default when it ask again. There will be a prompt on the bottom to put a check mark on it. Then select Nova.

Did you try and clear the defaults for the stock browser under applications?

hrmm stock browser? or launcher you mean?
which of all the sense apps under applications would i clear?
*edit*
okay only one lets me clear and both let me force stop...
i assume one is for widgets and one is for launcher of the two.. the one i assume is the sense launcher one has a disable option... wondering if thats possibly safe to disable if im running nova..
After you set Nova as default go into Settings > Apps > All Apps and find HTC Sense and try to disable it.
If you're rooted and don't use the stock launcher at all, try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895544
I found it a couple weeks ago and haven't had any issues with it at all.

Nice ill have to look into it, I hit the 'disable' on htc sense in the apps list and rebooted and forced the other 'HTC sense' one to shut down.. now only one appears and the disable button is grey'd out.. but still randomly.. not all the time i get the prompt on which launcher i want.....
doing this just to keep busy until the radio stuff is figured out and a CM 10 fully working or something like that comes out..
so far ive tweaked up the lock screen with widget locker and tasker to let me start camera app with out actually unlocking my phone, it returns to a locked state when camera pp is exited. now im looking into trying some things like this http://mycolorscreen.com/2012/09/26/xui-v2/
Hi guys. My first thread here and it's a problem.
I just bought my HDX 8.9, and installed apps from outside the amazon appstore. I did it through a alternative market, transfered form my PC or by bluetooth with my phone.
The problem is that after i installed any of them, they doesn't appear on the APP drawer, the only apps that still there are the amazon appstore ones. And i checked Cloud and Device tab and nothing.
I can only access to them by EFS Explorer, and that's annoying.
Its still happens before and after rooting the HDX, so i think rooting is not the problem.
I don't know what to do, i googled the issue and there's not info about it
Cheers and thanks!
Forgive me if I misunderstand, but are you talking about the home screen or after pressing Apps from the Home screen? The apps screen should show everything you have installed. The pull out drawer shows only the last apps you opened similar to the carousel at the top if the Home Screen.
To add apps to the Home Screen, open the Apps screen and long press on the app you want and select Add to Home.
edit: after reading your question again, I see that it is the app screen you're having problems with. I have not seen that problem. You might try reinstalling the downloaded app.

Exactly the app doesn't show up on the home screen and neither on the app menu.
I only can acces to them when i open ES Explorer > App Managament. There i can open them.
And yes i installed and reinstalled them, and the problem still.
It's sooo weird.
Maybe is the Mojito OS
When I install a sideloaded APK or install using 1Mobile, the app icon does not automatically appear on my home screen carousel. I have to go to the apps tab, then select "on device", then launch the app from there the first time. After that the icon appears on the carousel. Hope that helps.

I think it's "add to home" but yeah, that's what I do.
Icons like a bit crappy a they're massively scaled, but they do show.

It only show me the amazon apps only, and the suggested one from the market.
Like i said, i don't have any clue why this is happening to me. It's super weird.
Man, this is really weird... What if you get to the app manager where all the apps are listed (including the system apps). Don't remember how I got there but you could try to install let's say Nova launcher and access the apps from there..
You did set the trusted sources or what's it called to no didn't you? (I think there are like 2 switches for that in preferences. Don't have the device here right now in order to check)

It worked by using Nova Launcher!!! Now i can acces to all my apps and put them on the home screen!
Sadly that all look so small. It's like a phone setting.
¿There's any tablet version of Nova Launcher?
It so weird, it's like my Kindle default launcher it's bugged for not let me see my external apps.

Yes, that's the problem with other launchers and the kindle. Unfortunately they don't work as they should. No widgets, no background etc. Buzz launcher has also worked for me but don't expect much either... Your problem is really odd though and we should try find an other solution

Yeah it is.
But atm i can live by replacing the launcher. It patch the my main issue.
I will keep it like this until a custom rom appears.
Btw. Any good alternative market with a good update pace? Now I'm using 1mobilmarket.

1 mobile is good I use it too. You can use the 'forbidden' markets as well, since they offer also some free versions of the apps. You can Google the apps you want too. Many of them (if not all) can be found on the web or the developers homepage for direct download. Otherwise you could try to use apk extractor from play store. Put it on your phone, extract the app Sent it to your mail and install it to your Kindle. (not tested myself but it should work flawlessly)
