Ok, so my problem is somehow stupid. I've installed evie launcher, made it my default but every time I reboot my phone I'm welcomed by Lenovo Launcher. How to fix this irritating issue?
Nope, I do not want to install custom roms, all I need is a rooted stock with custom kernel I tried to make evie system app but it didn't work for me, also I want to keep LL "justincase".
Found a temporary solution. Renamed Lenovo_Launcher.apk to Lenovo_Launcher.apk.bak.

I updated my ADW Launcher to the newest version and now it keeps crashing. I also selected to always launch with it so i cant clear the data to use Sense and uninstal ADW.
What do i do??????
What rom are you running? Stock? Rooted? How long in between crashes?

You might check out the ADW thread in the Android section (not individual phone sections). The issue is known but they haven't got around to fixing it yet. Give them a day or two and I'm sure it will be dealt with.
Of course that's assuming you're running 6.1 (not sure if it happens with 6.0).
the easiest way to do it would be to find a flashable .zip of adw to apply in recovery to replace the one crashing or just take the apk from cyanogenmod rom (any rom) and push it to system/app in recovery... so when you reboot you will get to pick wich launcher to start by default again... that has happened to me several time but with rosie launcher (sense) when trying to change the looks of it and thats how i fix it every time xD
Has anyone tried renaming or removing the stock launcher to disable it?

easiest thing is to install a new launcher, say, ADW or LauncherPro or Zeam or whatever, (I hear Trebuchet is out) and then enable that new launcher as Default... and by doing that you disable the stock launcher.
But never ever disable or uninstall or kill a launcher unless you have another one waiting in the wings to take over.
launcher is nothing more than an apk

I have the Tablet version of Go Launcher installed but I wanted to disable the stock launcher so that it isn't running in the background with Go Launcher just running over top of it.
Edit: I used Titanium Backup to freeze the stock launcher and after a reboot everything is fine. I'll probably end up renaming the Launcher.apk to Launcher.bak so that TiBu doesn't have to do the work.
I don't have any problems running another launcher. But remember you can't get access to the kindle stuff if you get rid of or disable the stock launcher. I have mine linked on my homescreen, so the stock launcher runs more like an app for me.
Hello members
I had a little fit this morning after my screen lock did not lock the screen. Nova Launcher pushed through an update as well as Google yesterday. Anyway, I thought it must be Nova, so I tried to uninstall instead of switching to Goole Launcher. The uninstall option was not available so I went to Titanium App and deleted Nova Launcher. What a stupid idea that was.
So I am stuck in bootloop and cannot get onto the home screen. I made an install zip file with an earlier Nova Launcher to install through TWRP. It said install successful though no change. Still bootloop.
Is anyone here who would have time and could help me ? Thanks
ROM is ArchiDroid V3.1.5

Reflash your rom without doing anything else.
And next time post your questions in the q & a thread specific for your device not this section
Ok, thanks. My apology for using the wrong subforum. Regards G

Guys, i tried to install the G5 launcher from apk mirror (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lgelectronics/homeux-4-0/), there was an error or something and now i can only select Easy Home as launcher. The Home&App Drawer (stock G4 Launcher) is no longer compatible and can't select it. I dont even understand how this could happen because i dont have root and my phone is stock.
Also i cant just uninstall updates for Launcher because there is not this option. I dont know hot to go back without a factory reset and that would be time consuming.
Do you guys mind to post the Stock G4 Launcher apk here so i can give it a try ?

A good opportunity to get Nova Launcher from the play store.
Otherwise, see attachment
Thank you very much for you reply.

As the titles says, I want to completely remove the stock launcher (like it never existed) and install some other launcher (as if this was the only and stock launcher).
Bascially, This thread explains the problem in details.
I am on custom rom and rooted so I want to know how to make any launcher (lets say Lawn chair 2) stock/native from scratch and completely remove the stock one.

That is actually very hard, I personally like the pixel launcher on my custom roms and sometimes it doesn't work right. I always recommend switching first to see if the launcher works fully. Than since your rooted use magisk system debloater module off the manager. If you're on Android 11 than I don't know normally it doesn't read the partition layouts properly and doesn't work but you can try it. They need to update it for Android 11 but with the super partitions it makes it very difficult.

Yeah you could get rid of it via Root. There is a good app on the Play Store called something like System App Remover/Uninstaller? You could also try Magisk Modules!

That app doesn't work right anymore at least not on Samsung one ui. I don't know on Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi. But everything with the system partition is different now. It basically doesn't matter if you're rooted you can't touch otherwise it bootloops. I would recommend making a twrp backup first than try whatever you like.
what about using adb? have you try using adb to uninstall it?
I someone managed to uninstall the stock launcher and install lawn chair 2 as native but in the process, i lost home navigation gestures, 2 button and 3 button navigation options.
Had to reinstall the rom all over again

Yikes. Yeah yesterday I was almost going to say, be careful when uninstalling system apps. Its worth mentioning that the latest MIUI doesn't support Gestures on Third-Party Launchers, but you probably already know that.
Instead of clean-flashing, It may have been possible to dirty-flash the same ROM (with same version), to get Stock Launcher back without losing /data

I did dirty flash first. Neither the launcher came back nor the gestures. Then google kept crashing since I didn't flash gapps knowing it is dirty flash so i don't need to flash gapps. All gapps started crashing and didn't work. So I flashed gapps but they still kept crashing so I said "fk it, i'll clean everything".
You have to systemize the app (you need root to do this). I wouldn't recommend deleting the stock launcher just incase your new launcher breaks
Try oneplus launcher magisk module.
Works well, looks well.

Wait, does it work on MIUI? Does it include "Recents"?
No luck with MIUI, gestures wont work.
It includes recents. Lots of settings.
