How can I set my default launcher to LauncherPro or froyo or ADW?
Can i install and change multiple launchers the same time for froyo in stock 2.2?
Sure. Go to Manage applications, find your actual launcher and clear the default start option. Then click in the home button and choose the launcher you want and check the box that says to use always that launcher.
Can i install multiple launchers at the same time ? also by the above steps if we can change the default launcher to ADW, Launcher pro etc?
Yes you can install multiples launchers for example: Adw + Launcher pro + Go Launcher, when you have installed them, if you press the Home button the system let you choose the launcher.
Yes, you can have how many launchers you want installed at the same time. When you want to use another simple do what i told in previous post.
Ya its working..Now which is the best launcher that you are using now ADW , launcher pro or any other ..suggestions please..
If v can apply some themes also?
Launcher pro + Launcher pro icons + Desktop Visualizer + any icons you want.
i think Launcher pro have stopped updating the apps..right..
i have downloaded Launcher pro from the market but can't open it, only option available is uninstall.. the devoleper itself mentioned "If you can't open it, download "ClearDefaultHome" or "Home Switcher" ..
If we can install it without Home switcher?
how to stop the vibrating alert in Launcher Pro?
Is it possible to access the Personalize menu from another launcher somehow? Going to Menu -> Settings -> Personalize does nothing at all from inside ADW... and it's the only way to customize the lock screen and whatnot... I can uninstall ADW, go back to Sense and it works, but I don't use Sense... and it would be nice if I could just hit a button or whatever and get there without having to change my home launcher...
OK this may or may not work. I know if you are in sense as the launcher, you can open adw with the app shortcut in the drawer, so, in adw can you just make a shortcut to sense, and click that?

Thanks for the suggestion, but Sense doesn't show up in in the list when trying to add a shortcut or any widget or anything.

lol it wouldn't be that easy. I was more hoping you could find the intent in the launcher action/system function list...
My workaround is to go into applications and clear defaults on whatever launcher im using and press home and switch to sense and then personalize what i need and go back and reset my alternative launcher to default. Kind of a pain but it works. Wish i had a quick shortcut to suggest.
I just love the default weather widget for Samsung Galaxy S3. Problem is that when I change to Nova Launcher, the weather widget is not available from the widget list! What can I do to get the default weather widget in Nova Launcher? Must I switch to Apex or another launcher? :S
The default weather widget is part of Samsung's TouchWiz so when you change launchers you lose it. Going to another launcher other than Touchwiz will still not give you access to that widget.
You might try some of the widget programs like Beautiful Widgets in the market. They might have similar weather widgets. I know on my Rezound I use Beautiful Widgets for my HTC Sense style weather/clock when I run Nova.
Is there any way???? i need the weather widget in my apex launcher...

Doesn't look like it, I want the s planner widget but that too isn't available without touchwiz.

Yep, you only get the 'Calendar' widget.
The touchwiz widget apks are system apps. If some brilliant mind could pull them from system/app and (somehow) convert them to installable user apps, we would be able to use them with any launcher.
I'm not sure if this is even feasible...any takers;-)

Partially true…
On my Galaxy Tab P5100 with stock 4.1.2 and Nova launcher, the Accuweather widget was working flawleslly. It is a case, that it is partly a part of the system, because when pressed, it opens a full screen application...
Now, on 4.2.2 Nova can't pick it up anymore

That is inaccurate.
On my Galaxy Tab S2 the built-in Weather app used to provide both of its widgets to Nova Launcher without any problems: both the wide "clock & weather" widget and the small "weather only" widget were available in Nova. I had that classic Samsung's widget it on my screen in Nova for several years now. However, in my case just recently (around the beginning of November, I think) the wide "clock & weather" widget suddenly became unavailable in Nova Launcher.
The small "weather only" widget is still available in Nova Launcher though. When I switch to TouchWiz, I see two widgets under the built-in Weather app. But in Nova I see only one - the small one. This is a recent change.
I have no idea why "clock & weather" disappeared in Nova, but "widget is part of Samsung's TouchWiz" and "touchwiz widget apks are system apps" theories obvioulsy don't hold any water. Anyone?
Hey.
Yesterday I tried Nova Launcher and its got one amazing feature: a recent apps (multitasking) icon for the desktop. I would really like to use that on the stock TouchWiz, which I prefer. Is there any way I can use that icon or install it on TouchWiz? That way I dont need to hold down the home button everytime. Its easier and faster, just like the multitasking button on the Galaxy Nexus.
Does someone know how to do it? I would like to install it on my desktop keeping TouchWiz.
Thanks!
Or if anyone knows some other trick to access the multitasking with another program or widget that would be great. Any possible way to avoid the long press home button.
Thanks.
The Nova Recent Apps shortcut is actually designed so it can be used from more than just Nova Launcher, it works with TouchWiz for example .
From TouchWiz > App Drawer > Widgets > Nova Launcher 1 x 1 (not the app and not the Nova Activities), then select Recent Apps.

You are the best!! Thank you so much!! :laugh::laugh:
This is the best way for me to multitask. Its awesome to combine both worlds.
Thanks again!!
What's your favorite launcher? Nova seems popular, and I use it, but my favorite one is total launcher currently full version unlocker is on sale for about a day.

It's not super user friendly because it's so customizable. Just an example with my screenshots you tap "net" it opens my web browser Firefox, but when I click on the flashlight now when I tap "net" chrome opens.
I've started using FastKey launcher and I'm loving it. Fastest launcher available right now.
I started using evie launcher. Replaced nova. Not as customizable, but very smooth. Low resources.
I like nova because gesture swipe screen up/down to open apps and notification. No need to tap app icon or swipe status bar, you can do it everywhere on the screen.
Is there any other lighter launcher than nova that have similar gesture?

Try FastKey, it's not pretty but it's brainless and crazy intuitive.
I tried fastkey, then i tried KISS launcher, KISS is better
I also use KISS launcher for a long time and satisfied with it

Yes, fastkey is the best launcher for people who have 100+ apps, I have 684 apps installed. But the dev of fastkey isn't active now.
I like Nova with swipe gesture.
- Swipe right to open Google (using google companion addon)
- Swipe down gesture everywhere at home screen to expand notification
- Open apps by swipping up
- and badges
- popup menu
KISS is the best for me

Same setup here and I've tried all the popular ones, but nothing comes close to Nova
Meh, I still think Nova is superior
Try lawnchair launcher it is customisable pixel launcher with blur option and supports icon pack ls and has swipe gestures
Been using Apex Launcher for ages. For me the key points are the ability to modify the grid on the home page and to be able to hide apps in the drawer. Would like to switch to a more modern launcher (and one that's actually maintained) but haven't found a suitable replacement yet. Tried Nova a couple of times but have always returned to Apex...
Nova all the way. I don't think I've ever used another launcher. And the weird part is I think most people prefer Nova for its gestures but I don't. For me, Nova's best selling point is convincing me that it isn't even there.
