Switching between launcher prp and adw - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Am I overlooking something, but I don't see how to switch the default launcher app on CM6. I checked use by default and picked launcher pro but wanna go back to using adw. Can't seem to figure out how to change the default. Any help would be great.
Thanks jammin.

[Q] Best android launcher

Hey, I just installed Deck's 1.3 ROM and I don't like some of the features the Launcher has, so I want to download another one but don't know which one. Also, after installing the new Launcher, can I get rid of the default one?

Try Go Launcher EX.
Launcher pro is getting long in the tooth, but still extremely solid. Also, you can choose from these:

Just installed Go launcher EX, its awesome!

Only works on system apps. Browser, My Verizon, Calculator, GApps, etc.
The new version of Apex Launcher lets you hide apps from the app draw
Thanks I saw that .......guess I should've use search first. Sorry but thank u

Nova. Because it works on ICS and I can swipe my icons to launch applications.
ADW Ex because I paid for it.
Go Launcher EX. Endless customization... Used Zeam and ADW for the longest time prior.

Right now Nova prime because of the gesture swipes and app drawer but I still like to use ADW EX because of how easy it is too customized

Thirded on the Nova launcher. Because I'm on ICS, but also because it's more featured than trebuchet or touchwiz, but faster and more nimble than apex.

Apex...
Extended Dock Feature...Which I like Next is Go Launcher... And then ADW EX...
All three are loaded on My Roms...Apex runs the best...IMHO...But I like all three...
Touchwiz, still haven't found anything faster. Love go launcher but it still lags on the app drawer.

ADW EX.cause thats my choice

Nova Prime set to hide status bar with swipe and same with open app drawer. Then my ADW EX set to hide dock and status bar with swipes. I use Home Switcher to go between the two. I love them both on ICS

I'm still rocking Launcher Pro Plus. For me, its faster the GO Launcher and far less battery drain.
I tried ADW, but whenever I show my phone to somebody who isn't an Android geek ,they manage to screw something up like making the app tray vanish.
I'm still waiting for a *true* daily ICS ROM that I don't have to put up with app install issues or dramatically poorer battery life than GB, so I haven't tried Nova or Trebuchet.
has anyone tried the ported launcher from the Sony Xperia S its kick ass
running CM9
adw ex; i like apex, but adw is faster. nova not as configurable as either (no swipe up/down)
apex, you can use 190dpi and adjust the margins to use the entire home screen.

launcher?

ok so i really want to delete my default launcher and replace it with go launcher. what would i have to root remove to get rid of the default launcher and take away the ability to set a default launcher.
When you download go launcher open it. Then hit the home button. It will bring up which launcher to use. Check the box on the bottom(use as default) then hit go launcher.
That's without rooting. If your rooted get another launcher first then delete the TW launcher in system/apps

[Q] Note 2 TouchWiz 5x5 format

I'm a new XDA user and new to rooting so please bear with me. I am simply looking for a TouchWiz launcher mod (I think mod) that allows me to use a 5x5 app format. I have the SGH-I317 with build: JZO54K.I317UCAMH3. Can anyone help me out?
You just need a different launcher...
Give Nova launcher a try from the play store..
No root required ...and it gives you the options to grid up to 6x6 I believe ...
Otherwise ...to get TW launchers with grid changes you would need root and a custom rom most likely ...g

I haven't had the best experience with launchers from the play store. Had a go launcher before and it was just too much. I went with the root because I figured I could just mod the touch wiz or flash a better touch wiz Rom.

Never mind. I gave up looking for a mod and downloaded the Nova Launcher. VERY easy to use, customizable the way I like and very smooth.
Now the only question I have about having multiple launchers is... How do I prevent them both from running at the same time? I already set the default that when I press the home button, it goes to the Nova Launcher. And then in Nova Launcher settings "swiped away" the touchwiz launcher. But is it still running in the background? Do I even still need it? If I don't, how do I remove it? And no worries, I have a backup from before I installed Nova.

Once you swipe away the tw launcher you have set nova as default. Only the default launcher will run. I would not remove the old tw launcher as it can be a backup in case nova acts up. In other words, its good to have multiple launchers installed. Only one launcher is active at a time.
