I was happy after the installation of Go Launcher, since it allowed me to put more icons on the home screen. But now I cannot lock the phone. Went into Settings.......Lock screen......Screen lock..... to set it up (works fine with the Samsung default launcher), but it will not work with the Go Launcher. What am I missing? Thanks guys
Well your first problem is that your using Go Launcher. Its a RAM hog. Try Nova launcher. Its much much lighter and is designed to run specifically with android 4.0 and up. Your issues should disappear.

But doesn't the Nova launcher only run on ICS?
No its optimized to run on ICS and everything above.

Solution:
I had a similar problem when first using Go Launcher. You CAN lock the screen though, but inconveniently; not via the 'logical' TW settings route:
1.First, ensure that you have Go locker installed.
2. From the Go Launcher homescreen, select the menu.
3. Swipe across until u see Go Locker icon and select.
4.Then, press menu soft key again ( u will see go locker menu).
5.Scroll down to the security tab and you will see options for the security lock
6. (Optional) Sit back, sigh and ask yourself why the [email protected]!! they didnt integrate this app into TW more.

Have you tried going into the app drawer>menu>edit and dragging an icon off and replacing it?

That's how you do it for sure, but you should try while on the homescreen long pressing the old msging app and see if you can drag it to remove. Then you can drag and drop the gv app in the open spot.The stock ics launcher allows you to do it that way so you don't have to go into the app drawer and then menu then edit. I'm not sure if the TW launcher can do that though. I haven't used that launcher since GB. I'd be curious to hear if you can.
The TW launcher won't let you, I just tried it.

And ya I double checked, it is Applications > Menu > Edit
It may tell you that you need to change the app drawer to customizable grid, just click ok.
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

This may be a stupid question but how do you manage the screens?, I'm trying g to have just one screen and delete the rest but I can't seem to find where I would be able to do that

You mean the number of home screens? Just use Nova launcher to edit to your preference

I was thinking that, but when using the navigational bar tweak, and you press the home button in it, it switches back to the default luncher and not nova, the ROM doesn't come with a default screen manager?

Press the menu button and then Manage apps. Go to All then scroll down to Launcher and select that. Once in there go down to Clear Defaults and select that. Press the home button then you'll be prompted to choose a default launcher, choose Nova. Done. When you start with a freshly installed ROM you have a choice of the stock launcher or Nova. The stock launcher doesn't have any customization, that's what you chose

anytime i click the home button i land back with the stock launcher, despite apex being installed. from there i can launch apex via icon, and set it up, navigate etc, but the home button always goes back to stock launcher set up.
any recommendations?
Clear app defaults?

This or go to apex setting and then advanced. Select apex as default launcher.

neither of those worked but...
Homesmack app finally got it to stick.
Now to figure out why s-voice launches half the time when I unlock.
I ues nova launcher and didn't have to use homesmack app. Maybe you fflashed some rom?
Hello everyone,
I recently flashed this rom on my Sprint GS3 (after being out of the custom rom world for a bit) and I had a few (probably noob) questions. With regard to theme-ing, after I change the color of something, is there an easy way to change it back to default or do I just have to try and hand match it as close as possible?
Also, I installed (flashed) the 4.4 AOSP launcher from myhub, but there does not seem to be any kind of settings menu for it. It defaults to only 2 pages, which isn't nearly enough to hold my apps and widgets. Is there anyway to get more screens? If not, how do I uninstall it? (In application manager, it only gives the option to turn off, not uninstall).
Sorry if the answer to these are already in the forums somewhere, but I've looked and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks,
Haven't upgraded to the latest version, but I don't *think* there's a way to revert to a "default" color.
With the launcher, you should be able to get to the settings option by hitting the menu button while on ur home Page?

Thanks, I don't think there is a way to go back to default either...and if you go to the settings for the launcher it just takes you to the Google now settings. It's really strange.

You can only create a new screen by dragging an app icon or a widget from an existing screen to the right side of that screen, the G.E.L. will then make a new screen available to place that app or widget on. Personally, Nova Launcher is a much better alternative, or Apex for that matter.
