Hi,
I have one Problem with Apex Launcher / Nova Launcher on AOKP 37.
Everytime if I install some Market Apps there are automatically shortcuts on my homescreen.
How can i disable this?
Thanks
It's not just Apex, it's every launcher. Go into your Google Play app, hit the menu button, then click settings. You should see an option there that says Auto-add shortcuts. Uncheck that, and you're golden.
Big thanks dude

I downloaded ADW Launcher and I accidentally chose HTC Sense as default launcher and now I can't get ADW to come back up. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ADW but still nothing. Any help please? Thanks in advance!

Theres an app called Home Switcher for that. Its free
Yeah he;s right, get Home Switcher from the Market. It's sick and makes it reallt easy to switch. But without an app, you can click Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, then scroll to and select on HTC Sense, click and then select "Clear defaults". That will manually remove the defaults set to the "home" app as preferences.
From there, when clicking the Home button, you will be prompted for which Home launcher you want to use. If you only have Sense installed, it will just show your screen previews. If other launchers are installed, it'll ask you for which to launch and you can set one as default.
Awesome, thanks guys!! Much appreciated.
You could also always just goto market and uninstall awd and reinstall it, it will then give you option when you hit home button again.. Hope this helps..
Or.......
You can also go to settings, applications, manage applications go to htc sense and clear defaults.
the home switcher tis the best option. It's much faster then going to settings>applications>manage applications and clearing defaults.
Thanks
THANKS! Home Switcher wasn't doing the job, but clearing the defaults on Sense made all the difference.
When i shut my phone off and turn it back on it will get to the widget locker lock screen like it should but once i slide to unlock there will be no icons on my screen? I have root and am using widgetlockers home helper thing it also did this using lancher pro.
I usually have to turn the phone on and off a few times before the icons will show after unlock.
Any ideas?
Maybe you should set it to default when it asks which one you want to use..
Or I haven't understood your problem

I would ask in the widget locker and go launcher help thread in the main android app section. I use both in conjunction and have had zero issues but I know the last go update was fixing some icon issues so make sure you update.
Also more info could be helpful. Such as what rom, kernel, etc
go lancher is set as the default. It's once you unlock from the lock screen there will be no icons.
I'm using the stock ROM rooted KE7 2.3.3

Are you using the integrated icon switching or are you using desktop Visualizer?

I'm not sure what you mean? I really haven't did anything but set go lancher as the default lancher and in widget locker i had to set it to use WL HomeHelper (optional) if i don't you can double press the home button and bypass the screen lock.
It's random when the icons don't come up after a unlock.

Are you using custom icons? If not, or even if so bring it up to the go dev team. Definitely looks to be something on their end. Have to tried to replicate it without widget locker?
Nothing to do with widget locker I think (I use it too in conjuction with Go Launcher) however there seems to be a bit of a bug in Go Launcher where icons randomly disappear - the last update was supposed to have fixed that but hasn't really, some still occasionally go missing from my home screens too. The easiest thing to do for now is to put all your apps and shortcuts how you want them, then backup the configuration from within Go Launcher preferences, next time they go walkies just hit restore configuration and job done. Just remember to back up the config every time you add or remove stuff.
I'm using go launcher and widgetlocker for 24 hours now and having no problems at all, initially the launcher was slow, but after 1-2 hours when I used it again, it was smooth, maybe cache related thing

I am using go lancher themes from the market. It did it again the whole screen is blank after a unlock no icons at all only the wallpaper shows. Lancher Pro did the same thing.
I can go into go lancher settings click on themes and nothing comes up.
I used widgetlocker and go launcher ex. I have not had any problems.
Preferences -> Operation settings -> Screen rotation (switch off)
I had the same problem, got rid of it by applying this setting. Wish you luck
Already had the rotation off.
If i hold down the home button after i unlock and bring up the task manger and find widget locker and do a force close all my icons come back.
As a note, I get this exact same issue with ADW Launcher EX.
Happens only right after a reboot, and not every time - WidgetLocker Lockscreen appears, I unlock and find a completely blank screen (Only the notification bar shows). Pressing the menu button brings up the ADW Launcher Ex menu though...
Restarting ADW Launcher doesn't seem to help, only rebooting a couple times until it does appear seemed to help me, but I'll try force closing widget locker itself next time.
I initially set ADW as default launcher, but then set the WL HomeHelper as default in widgetlocker settings, which I believe is the correct way to do it to block the home button from auto unlocking etc.
Edit: Restarted the phone just to test, and force closing widgetlocker does do the trick - minor annoyance only I guess

Yes it is for me it seems to only do it when i'm in a hurry lol
I use widgetlocker and GoLauncher too.
I've had the same problem this morning too, but a reboot of the device fixed the problem.
I've had similar issues without Widgetlocker installed, so I think the cause is to be found in GoLauncher. But the phone reboots very fast so I am not really bothered by it.
I used LP and switched to GO Launcher.
GoLauncher is set as default launcher at the first boot.
In WidgetLocker i disabled the homebutten with homehelper to stop the unlock by the homebutton.
No the problem:
When i reboot, there is a message that says "go launcher is not your default launcher." (Attach 1)
When i click ok, i'm in the assignments of WidgetLocker (Attach 2)
When i disable the homehelper in WL there is no problem when i reboot.
But i want to disable the homebutton...
Any ideas?
BTW: LP is disabled!
I'm using Litening Rom 6.1
I had exactly the same issue and stopped using Go Launcher as a result. It would only happen sometimes but it would require me to restart my phone. I now use ADW instead and it works fine.
I need to get back to sense launcher to edit the lock screen shortcuts, but I can't find it.
I've looked in Apps, I've removed the defaults from my current launcher, but I just can't get it back.
What happened?
It won't be in apps, press the home button when on the home screen and it'll ask if you want to use Rosie

1: what launcher is then on the screen
2: what rom are u using
I'm on Nova Launcher, and have Android Revolution HD 6.1.1 installed.
well if the rosie launcher is install
u can download home launcher from play store an choose it from that app
I've had a search for "Home Launcher" on the play store but can't find it. Can you provide a link?
here u go
Thanks, but Rosie is still not an option.
then it is not in the rom
settings > apps > all > nova > reset defaults
I am new to Nova. In my playing around and setting up, I switched back to Google Now Launcher. When doing so, most my icons on my home screen disappeared and my app store totally disappeared. Switching back to NOVA revealed the same situation. I recovered with a TWRP back up, but is this action normal when switching between launchers?
Did you check to see if Nova hid the app store? Long press a blank space on a home screen in Nova and select 'Settings' in the overlay that appears. Navigate into 'App & widget drawers', then 'Hide apps' (under 'Drawer groups'). Confirm that 'Play Store' is not checked in the list that appears.

I will check for that if the problem happens again. So I should be able to switch between the two launchers without any ill effect? I have been afraid to try ever since.
Somebody else might chime in, but I've never had a problem with multiple launchers installed on the same device. My G4 has the Google Now Launcher, Nova, and the in-built LG Launchers and I can switch between them or assign a default without issue.
Hey guys,can anyone help me to find LP Theme from Percy921-last version?
When certain things happen like when i close an app while its loading or smt like that my app drawer shrinks and icons not fitting the whole page and i can see the next and previous pages app icons a bit. I have to force stop the launcher in order to fix it but is there any other solutions ?
try to clear the cache or restart the phone, if that doesn't work you can still use another launcher like Nova Launcher or Google Now Launcher..

Since they dont feature the double tap to sleep i am not interested in them. But thanks for the advice
Nova launcher actually has a "double tap to sleep" feature under gestures-> double tap you can set "lock screen" which will do the same as LGs launcher
