I've got Nova Launcher installed, but can't work out how to set it as the default launcher in nougat (I don't get offered it as an option when I press the home button). Any ideas??

Go to nova settings and there on the top you will be offered to select nova as default, if not just scroll down and you will have a option to set it as default launcher.
second way:
go to LG5/setup ->Homescreen firts position!
there you can select your preferred launcher

So since SPB Shell 3D isn't working correctly for me I downloaded Home Switcher from the market so I can switch back to the Stock Launcher w/o having to uninstall SPB. I opened the program and saw a list of Launchers to pick.
Agile Lock
Home (Moto-Blur)
Launcher Pro
SPB Shell 3D
The top said that SPB was my default. So I chose Home (Motorola) as my new default and clicked launch. It then went to me stock launcher home screen. Everything seemed great. Then the next time I clicked the home key, it defaulted back to SPB. Home Switcher does not allow me to set anything other than SPB as the default launcher. So I uninstalled SPB completely so I can run the stock launcher with no issues. Suddenly, it decides to load Launcher Pro instead. Again, I went back to Home Switcher and set Moto-Blur as my default launcher. I clicked launch and it took me back to my Motorola Homescreen. Again I thought everything was okay until I hit the Home key and it defaulted to Launcher Pro. Wtf! So in a last ditch effort, I uninstalled Launcher Pro also and pressed home to go back to my Motorola Homescreen only to be met with a black screen. My Stock Launcher was gone. I could still see my notofication bar and if I hold the home button I get my recent app list. So I chose Home Switcher and was able to launch the Moto Launcher from there. Then I reinstalled Launcher Pro and it works okay. So it seems that somehow I lost my Stock Motorola Launcher. How could that happen? And how can I fix it? Factory Reset? All these other guys running SPB say they love it and have no issues. Why won't it work correctly on this phone? Even with the stock messaging app, she is still getting the repetition of text messages.

If you go into "manage apps" and the stock launcher app does it give you the option to set it as default? The Home Switcher app may not be setting it properly.
Did you post this in Android Forums as well? I'd try Homesmack to see if you can restore the stock launcher.
How do I make ADW the default launcher? When I hit the home button, it brings LauncherPro back up.

Go to settings, manage applications, choose LauncherPro and clear defaults. Go back to home screen and you will be given the option to choose your default launcher.
Thanks for the quick reply. Now why didn't I remember that?

Go locker needs to have go launcher installed. Just don't remove go launcher, but use whatever wish as default and try.
To use Go Locker you must have Go Launcher installed.. You can also use other lockscreen launchers like WidgetLocker, comes with a variety of themes too!
well, the problem is, when i turn of the screen and press any buttons it unlocks automatically when under nova launcher, but when i switch it to Go Launcher, the Go locker works perfectly, pressing home button or any buttons dont unlock or go to the default page on my phone,
when i set up my default launcher to Go Locker, it also sets the default to Go Launcher, i dont know how to make it run smoothly, and if i set it to nova launcher and activate the Go Locker, when i press the home button it bypass the Go Locker and go to my default page, it sucks
Is there a way I can flip back and forth between a custom launcher and the stock launcher?
Basically I want to have 2 separate looks, widgets, etc for both and decide which I like better. Please advise.
You can use the touchwiz launcher and e.x nova launcher. If you press the home button it asks which launcher you want to use. If it doesn't show, you must clear the settings of the launcher you use in the app settings menu.

That also works. What happens when u press the home button?
bottom keys light up but nothing else
Then you must go to settings > application manager > Go Launcher > clear defaults. When you press the home button again, it will asks which launcher you want to use.
thanks bro!
Hi
I want to change launcher, install and change launcher works fine, but I have to confirm my choice of launcher every time I go to my home screen.
Anybody else having the same issue?
Thanks
Go to Settings>Home and then select the launcher you want to use
I've tied to change it in the Settings > Home, but it resets once I close the menue.
Installing launcher managers like "Home Switch" or "Launcher Manager" does not help either.
I've tried to remove the Xperia Home app in launcher, managers and ccleaner but it won't uninstall.
Did restart before and after, did not help either. Is it possible to change launcher in Sony phones, support kind of saying no.
Whaaat? I used Nova Launcher and Google Now Launcher and I have none of those issues. Uninstall the launcher and install it again. Then press home button and select the launcher and press on "Always"
