Hello All,
I'm prompted to select a launcher after each restart. I've completely reset my phone and the same thing still happens. Is this happening to anyone else? I'm using TouchWiz, not a third party app, but it does happen with third party launchers too.

The best solution is to only have one launcher installed.
You can either uninstall the launches you don't use or
if you have titanium backup you can FREEZE the launchers
which are not being used.
That way the launcher of your choice will load automatically
each and every time without prompting you to choose.
Good luck!

I'm on the latest Starburst ROM and on whatever kernel the ROM comes with. Anyway I noticed something today with my phone. Everytime I go to the Market and click the Home key I get a prompt for choosing my launcher. I check the box for use as default and choose Go Launcher.
Anyway this is a recurring issue and I even tried a reboot. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

Uninstall, reboot and reinstall.
Hi Everyone,
I am running [PORT][ROM]Modded I317_N7105ZHALJ4 MultiWindow Control & Approved Add-ons, and for some reason I can no longer install third party apps. I get to the screen where you click Install, and the button isn't grayed out, but when I hit the button, nothing happens. I of course have non-market installs enabled. Any ideas?
Thanks
Kim
What DPI are you using?

Got used to nova launcher (and bought prime) since I was on my s3 with liquid smooth, but now being back at touch wiz I keep getting a message saying that I need to clear my app defaults. Makes me choose which launcher to use each time.
Had this problem on touchwiz with my s3 but went aosp and didn't have the problem again. Kinda liking tw on this phone so I'd like to stay with it if I can figure this out. Already tried clearing all defaults and then tried going into the specific apps and clearing the defaults. No luck. Help?

Tap and hold on the notification. It should give a menu option of "app info" click it and post a screenshot. Thanks!

Why not FREEZE the launchers you do not want to use with Titanium backup, that way they will still be
there in case you ever want to use or mess around with those other launchers.
By doing that your default launcher will always be used without a popup box asking you what to do.
If you want to use another launcher which is frozen just unfreeze it...
I know that normally you should not have to do this, but if you just cannot figure it out it does not hurt
anything to freeze a launcher.
good luck!

If you switch to the stock (TW) launcher does it still happen?
Also, in Nova, double tap a home screen to bring up the menu. Scroll to the bottom, tap advanced, tap restart Nova. If that brings them back you likely have an issue with Nova.
Yes...tried that...they just don't want to live here anymore.. I have to go to playstore for the app I want and open it from there....apps are installed but just not in the drawer...they will stay on the home screen if placed there but not in the drawer....never seen this before....no new changes to rom or downloads....weird

I (personally) would make sure my apps are backed up with TiBu and reinstall the rom.
Yeah I agree...just really didn't want to go that way but probably have a glitch....such is the life of a flashaholic...thanks for verifying what I suspected.

One more thing, if you haven't already, make an update zip in TiBu by long pressing the recent apps thing while in TiBu... Not from the menu. It makes a zip that only installs TiBu and its settings not the apps. This is better (imo) as sometimes update zip with apps can be a little squirrely.
When you get it working right let us know.
Good luck!
Cool beans....thanks...will keep you informed...

This video from LG @2:18 says that you can restore the app drawer via a 3rd option from the home settings. My phone only has 2 options though. Anybody able to restore the app drawer?

I may just change launchers, but I sure wish I knew how to enable this on the stock launcher.
i just went with Nova launcher...didnt want hassles...also moving and deleting windows was a pain..
I went with nova as well. I can't seem to get weather to display on my lock screen and I don't know if its because I'm not using the default launcher ?

I realize its been 3 weeks since last post but in the lg software settings when i got my g5 recently there was a download available for home and app drawer launcher. Stock lg without downloading a 3rd party launcher
