[Q] Trouble with Lock Screen

have 2 question:
1.
Juggernaut 4.1, GO Launcher
using Go Locker (or any other ScreenLocker). My actions:
- Set GoLocker as default on press "home".
- Hold "home" and open TaskManager
- press "home" to return to homescreen
- ... and... my android ask me: request to the default action for "home" button
How can I solve this problem! Help, please!!
2.
Can i use another Kernel with Juggernaut ROM ? Other kernel need to use CallRecorder
Thank you for your answers.

Why would you want go locker set as your default home action? do you mean Go Launcher EX? It doesn't matter what setting you have for the home button; it will always launch task manager if you hold down the home button. when you press the home button and it asks for which app to choose, there should be a little box when choosing to set as default. If you want to change a certain default app. Go into setting applications, and find the default app. Then click on it, scroll down and click on clear defaults.
If you are looking for an app to lock your phone by pressing one of the soft touch buttons. I would recommend downloading "Screen Off and Lock" from the marketplace. It is free and works great. You can set it by holding the Search soft touch button on the bottom right of your phone.
Regarding your second question, Yes, you can install a different kernel. I would recommend wiping the cache partition and delvik cache before installing a new kernel. I have used Synergy kernel on several roms that come with a different kernel.
Please post your questions in the Question forum. You will get more answers and plus it wont clutter up the general forums.(A forum administrator has just moved your question into the Question Forum)

if i set as default home action - go launcher, after launch task manager appears that the same query.
This problem occurs when using the launcher pro or other lockers

[Q] Apex: how to cancel TableUI mode? (solved)

i was playing around with Apex Launcher and decided to try its TabletUI.
but once i enabled it, i found no way to call up the Apex settings to cancel this mode.
now im left with a few blank screens (as i have no shortcuts added yet), no dock, and just the 3 virtual buttons (which do not help)..
any one can enlighten me? tia..

which menu button? i only got "Back", "Home" and "App List" buttons..
i tried tap, long tap, double-tap on these 3 buttons, and none of the actions can bring me to the apex settings..
when i pressed "Apex icon" in the app drawer, i was returned to the home screen again..

Hit the 3-dot menu button in the app drawer. Nova has a menu button on the home screen search bar

Yep, 3 dot menu in app drawer --> apex settings --> homescreen --> its near the bottom

thx for ur replies.. i got similar answer from apex thread..
forgot to mention that my way of entering the app drawer is by clearing apex data and return to stock launcher..
when in tablet mode, i cant find the "menu" (6-dots) button in the home screen..
and i figured out why i couldnt see the button that enters app drawer.. cos its on the google search bar!
and before turning on the tablet ui, i had disabled the option "Show persistent search bar" in apex settings..
that pretty much ended every possible way of returning to the apex settings when in tablet mode (along with disabling tap, double-tap & long-tap actions)..

Double tap the home screen you should see a menu. Or just long press the home screen and add the Apex actions /Apex settings".

thx for all the replies, and to prevent others from repeating my mistake, here is a summary of what i did (and what should be avoided)..
(1) disable "Desktop double tap" & "Desktop long press" actions in Apex Settings -> Behavio(u)r settings
(2) disable "Show persistent search bar" in Apex Settings -> Homescreen settings
(3) enable "Use tablet UI mode" in Apex Settings -> Homescreen settings
this series of settings will effectively make ur N7 stuck in tablet mode, and the only option now is "Notification bar -> Settings -> Apps -> Apex Launcher -> Clear data"

[Q] Alternative launchers, long press shortcuts = screen flip

Anyone else having this issue? New 8.9 with 8.3.0 root. I've tried Apex, Nova, Holo and when I try to move shortcuts around, requiring long press on the icon, the screen flips upside down. Then the icon I was doing the long press has the submenu but I can't really choose the settings.

It will only let you move things in portrait mode. Go to play store and get rotation control then in the app enable per app settings and set your launcher to forced auto

Thanks! Installed the rotation control now it's working properly.

Set Nova Launcher as default launcher

So I've been using Nova Launcher for a month now and haven't had any issues but all of the sudden when I tap the home button the home selector screen comes up and asks me to select which home screen set up I want. How do I set the Nova launcher as the default launcher? I went into Nova settings and selected Nova launcher as my default one but every time I tap on Nova it doesn't keep my selection. I tried restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing has worked so far.

Settings > Home screen > Select Home

Can't set default home launcher any more !

Hi everyone,
I was using Buzz launcher as my default launcher, up until a few days ago. What happened then is that pressing the Home button caused an exit from Buzz and the default Huawei Home was shown !! To get back into the Buzz launcher I have to click on the app icon. I can navigate within it as before, until I press the Home button which switches me out to the Huawei Home launcher !
If I remember correctly, there was a Settings entry where you could choose your Home launcher. It seems it is not there any more (or I don't remember correctly and there was never such a settings entry). I tried:
* Manage apps-> clear defaults. Same behavior.
* Factory reset, install Buzz launcher. Same behavior
* Install another launcher. I installed Nova and still, I could not set it as the default launcher: every time I press the Home button, I am back to the default Huawei launcher !!
I am on plain vanilla B708. Any ideas anyone ???
Thanks and regards,
Karl

Which version of Android are you using ? If you are using Android 6.0, Settings -> Home set your default home launcher.

Go to "Manage Apps" > "Default app setup" (icon at the bottom of the screen) > Home
Hope this helps!

Awesome. I started with this problem about three weeks ago. Last night I softbricked my phone and have had to do a stock install and re-install all apps. Same behaviour. Home button goes to the Huawei launcher. This fixed it in seconds.
Weird thing is, I hunted high and low for that setting, and there it was.
Thank you.
