I can not seem to get this to stay the default launcher. I have used the patch that they have for this and followed the instructions but every time I reboot my device it asks me which launcher to default to. I have not rooted the device. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Hello all,
I'm running into an issue when trying to change the build.prop to 240DPI. I used rom toolbox and a couple other LCD density modder apps from the play store. Each one causes my phone to get stuck at the Samsung logo, doing a cache wipe allows it to load to the "Android is updating" screen then once complete reboots and gets stuck again in boot. I am using a stock debloated rom by Geo411m. I also loaded up some 240DPI modded apps to play nicely with the new DPI but havent gotten to test it. I am using the stock touchwiz launcher, so could that be the issue?
just an update I installed Apex launcher and then removed defaults for the launcher. Set the DPI in Rom Toolbox and rebooted. I was able to successfully reboot this time. Only issue I have now is that I use the PIN unlock for the phone while crashes soon as you being entering your PIN. So looks like another system restore for me..... :crying:
forgot to mention I wiped cache and also fixed permissions.... now waiting on the restore to try it all again..
Strange...boot loops would happen to me on my Note 1 when I changed the DPI manually (like through root explorer) but when I used ROM toolbox it would work fine. If you want 240 dpi, I would suggest using DAGr8's hybrid ROM. I was running it at 240dpi with no problems. You also have to flash his multi dpi fix zip though because some of the stock apps won't be formatted properly.

Reflash?
You installed stock ROM and then ran a debloat script.. Why don't you better flash the GPE ROM and then install Google Now Launcher? That way you'll have zero bloatware and will get updates a few days before stock ROM users.
Not really a fan of gpe wanted to keep stock fw as it is almost vanilla plus stable but really wanted to get gnl running on it
The reason why you can't see home is you removed the original launcher, to solve this just install another 3rd party launcher, don't set it as default then install the new Google Now Launcher and select it from the popup list and set as default
I suggest installing 4.4.4 GPE with root and remove the system apps you don't like with system app remover from Play Store. And ultimately install GNL.

Update Google search and activate Google now. Now you are good to go.
Have just 3 days with my new P2a42 and I love It but I didn't like the launcher (I don't like any other launcher anyway). So I installed "Total Launcher" which, for me, is the best launcher available. Unfortunately, after enabling dual app, the new created app does not appear inside Total Launcher apps but only in Lenovo's launcher apps. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.
Nobody? well, be careful cause I tried with 2 different apps, "parallel space" and "2face" and suddenly my phone got into a reboot loop. I don't know which one of these was the guilty one because none was working very well so I tried with the other. But the only way I managed to stop my phone from rebooting every 10 seconds or so, was to factory reset it from recovery. BTW my phone is not rooted and has stock nougat ROM.
On LineageOS 13, the latest official build of LineageOS for the Nexus 10, when I iinstall the Nova Google Companion for Nova Launcher, Google Play Services, Nova Launcher, and a number of other apps crash. When returning to the home screen, it freezes, then sends the app into a boot loop where after the LineageOS logo appears in it's entirety, my device tries to start LineageOS, but then crashes again and so the boot loop process continues. I have already reported this issue to the Nova Launcher Beta Google+ community and mentioned that Nova Google Companion ran fine on the stock 5.1.1 ROM. I've already tried reflashing LineageOS and GApps. Suggestions as to what I should do without flashing a different ROM?
Update: So as it turns out, ANY UI modifications (Launchers, TeslaUnread, Nova Google Companion/Action Launcher Google Plugin) will send the device into a bootloop. I suspect that the issue is with themes provider or GApps, since Google Play, Play Services, and Themes Provider are the first to crash.
I have a similar issue but I am unsure what program causes it.
The tablet was newly installed and installing my list of apps, one being Nova.
EDIT, information provided by op:
The August 5th nightly accepts Nova Launcher, but not TeslaUnread, Nova Google Companion, or Action Launcher
Hello, I have similar issue with my Nexus 10 on lineageos 13. I've reset from factory, reinstall all my apps except Nova and it works fine.
When I decide to reinstall Nova, my nexus immediatly boot in loop...
It arrive sudunly probably after an uptade of Nova...

Similar issue on Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod 13 (20161220 Snapshot).
Installing Nova Launcher causes the device to freeze and go into bootloop where it reboots after "optimising apps".
I've also tried installing Google Now launcher but " Home" option doesn't show up and there is no way to switch from Trebuchet to it.
Similar issue on S2 Plus CM13 after an update
Tested 2 weeks without Nova and nothing happened
Decided to give a shot again then bootloop happened again, luckily I had backup this time
I'm facing the same problem right now with my Redmi 4A. How did you solve it? Doing a factory reset?
I am currently facing a similar issue, but the culprit here for me is the facebook app, as soon as I install it from play store, it sends my samsung gt-i9082 (running cm13) into an instant bootloop, I tried deleting the facebook app's data from the twrp recovery's file manager.
but even then it kept on rebooting.
I had tested this even after a complete format of my device, including internal storage and external storage. even removing external storage, still as soon as the app was installed it went bootloop.
It's strange for me, cause it's the same rom and the same device, that was running the same app version before i format it to clean everything.
I would have doubt a data clash between my older files, but that was ruled out after a complete format. I have no clue why this is happening.
Edit: The only difference between my previous and the new installation is that I used deltagapps before and I am using opengapps now.
I will try with deltagapps again to see if it is sorted.
Edit 2: Well it did stopped the bootloop with the facebook app, but then again it started giving me the same issue with all the other random app I try to install(All those apps that previously were working on the same rom, same device).
Now the only suspect remains is the emmc of the device, maybe that is failing or got bad sector. strange that I haven't seen any issue on the device forum about this. Bad Luck, It reaches it's end.

Hey so I dug up my old Galaxy Nexus and wanted to get it ready for my dad to use. However after booting up when ever I try to do anything (press on an app or the menu) a notification pops up saying " Trebuche launcher has crashed". Rendering me unable to do anything as I can't get into the menu or settings either. I am not sure what to do. I think the phone has some version of Jelly bean on it from Cyenogen mod. It is a while back since I did anything with it.
So before I mess up and brick it I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to go forward with it.
In a crazy coincidence this is exactly the problem I ran into yesterday. I factory reset it in TWRP several times and it always eventually happened again. It may not be related, but it first happened immediately after updating the play store/services and agreeing to the play protect.
This last time I removed the SIM, reset, and reboot it. I immediately opened the play store (without opening the app drawer or trying to click on settings), turned off auto updating, and downloaded Nova Launcher. When you click home it asks which you'd prefer. I was then able to go to settings without any problems.
So far it's been about 45 minutes without crashing and restarting.
LineageOS (the successor of CyanogenMod) has an official build for toro that is currently maintained so after a complete backup I intend to flash it.
Hope this helped
