Q, launchers cm rom

Hi guys, need some help, im using cm7.1 rom and it has adwlauncher by default, and i just downloaded adwlauncher ex and when i press home button it keeps asking to choose launcher all the time. I cant delete defaulted adwlauncher. Is it any way to may adw ex as default? Thanks for help

Don't worry about deleting ADW. It's in the ROM's inherent system framework. It doesn't matter if it stays.
But in terms of the "Launcher Chooser" dialogue box, are you saying that it doesn't have the little option button to remember ADW Ex as the default launcher???

it didnot work but after reboot its ok

[Q] CM7 Launcher Issues

I really like CM7, but I'm having problems when installing launchers. I've tried both LauncherPro and Go Launcher Ex. When I install the new launcher, it's menu doesn't show up under Settings and ADWLauncher's menu disappears. So I'm stuck being able to do anything. Any ideas?
Since I'm not seeing it, can anyone tell me where LauncherPro's menu should show up? I'm assuming just under CyanogenMod settings where ADWLauncher used to be.

Have u tried hit menu in home screen after installed go launcherEx?

Thanks, that's it! I didn't think to check there because I have a shortcut to Settings, and that's where I accessed ADWLauncher's settings.

I checked out the reviews and it looks like a good launcher, but I'm quite happy with LauncherPro for now. Tks.

if you install a launcher different from ADW it is normal...if you uninstall the new launcher the adw settings' sub menu will appear again...

and a new menu will be under menu/more/adw settings ...

go launcher ex ftw.

Can anyone tell me if there is a default android launcher(unlike sense launcehr,ADW,etc.)
i.e. a "core" launcher or something like 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

[Q] Cannot lock Note 2 running Go Launcher...

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.
