Look at my screen shot! I now have a default Launcher option in my "Default apps" settings! I did the adb thing to remove the Huawei default launcher so I could use the Nova launcher but after I did that i could not change my lock screen password back to no password so I did a "Reset all settings" (No data or documents will be deleted) Well, my phone went back to Chinese language and thought I was screwed so I blindly found the language settings for gboard I got english back. This is when I notice the change. I'm not sure if that button showed up after deleting the Huawei launcher...

Do you have the Chinese or global phone?
Also after you reset your settings were you actually able to change your launcher and did it stick after rebooting your phone?
Do a factory reset

You need to wipe the default from the app in Settings>Applications>All
menu..settings..applications..manage applications..app that is current default..clear defaults.

damn, i was too slow again.
yours is actually better, though
Thnx!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I was impressed by the development and hit of Apocalypse on Ace forum I decided to install it's port to my Gio (my first custom ROM). But I was disappointed. The Port was not like the original ROM on Ace forum. The app drawer interface was so different. It had to slide vertically but on ace it was horizontally. In the Menus there was no transparency to see the wallpaper and last but not the least I could not stop that annoying vibration whenever I pressed that back button.
Are all ports like this?? So different from original??
You can customize settings like you want, just open holo launcher settings and choose drawer settings, there you can set transparent and horizontal instead of vertical (choose drawer style and then select Horizontal paginated), effects like you want . It's not only the drawer, you can customize settings for desktop, docks and much more to stop vibration for back button, open phone settings > Sound > scroll down and deselect haptic feedback.

How to open Holo launcher settings??? :-/
And there was another problem when I open any application such as calculator and then press back button it should take me back to the app drawer interface but instead it takes me to the home screen And what about the task manager?? there was already a task manager in my previous Stock ROM (2.3.6) but this ROM does not have any.
It it important to factory reset the phone after installation??

You can open Holo settings by pressing menu button on home screen and select Launcher settings. I don't use apocalypse rom, but i use holo launcher too, and i don't think it should take you to home screen when pressing back button, someone else might know why it happens so and custom roms doesn't include task managers but you can go to phone settings > Apps > running services and there you could see what apps are running and background apps, ram but you could also install task manager apps like advanced task killer from google play if you want. It's always good to do a factory reset after roms installation.

I just checked and there are no launcher settings in menu. I think this ROM does not have Holo launcher as I can see launcher pro installed in this ROM and I cant figure out its settings... Do u know where its settings are??
Actually after my first installation of ROM after applying patches I did a factory reset but on its rebot it was showing cyanogen mod animation again and again and not going ahead. So i installed the ROM again and didn't risked doing factory reset again..... What could be the reason??

Oh sorry i thought you were using holo launcher because ace apocalypse rom are using it if it is launcher pro then you can't switch to horizontal unless you install another launcher that has horizontal drawer :/ what do you mean with cyanogenmod, do you want to install another rom to cm7 or are you still on apocalypse but trying to apply patches? do factory reset before and after flashing roms. And when you want to apply patches, open cwm recovery > mount & storage > mount /System then flash patches, be sure to apply right patches.
I was saying after installing ROM and all other patches I factory reset my phone but on the restart my phone was stuck on boot loop. Why is that so??
What the clockworkmod recovery version does you have on your phone? do you have any M, L or V as your phone model example GT-S5660M or GT-S5660L?
Hello,
I just got my One Plus 3 a day ago and I have setup Nova Launcher as my Home Launcher. Installed my necessary apps. For some reason I cannot figure out, everytime I go into Settings, when I press the Home button, it asks what launcher to use as default. I always select Nova Launcher but when I go back to settings, it happens again. What is wrong with my Settings?
I have read that some apps act as a launcher so I installed Launcher Switcher and found that there are 3 launchers to choose from, OnePlus Launcher, Nova Launcher and File Manager. What is this File Manager App? I tried to go into Settings > App > File Manager but I cannot disable this.
Also I have read some apps that when they uninstalled those apps, the problem went away. For example is the Hotmail app. I don't have this app installed and so far, I just notice the problem after going in Settings App. Also, I have read that Nova Launcher will detect which app is causing the problem but I cannot see that on my side. No notification by Nova Launcher informing me of problematic apps that is causing the default home launcher to reset frequently.
I am not rooted, no custom recovery installed but I think my bootloader is unlocked because when I power ON my phone, I get the "It cannot be trusted" thing on boot up. OS version is 3.1.3
Thanks for the help.
[UPDATE]
1. I also encounter the problem after switching apps via Recents App button. For example I open Facebook, when I press Home button, its fine. I open Spotify, and press Home, its still fine. When I access Facebook via Recent Apps button, and then click Home, the problem occurs. Please help.
You can make your choice of launcher as default app by selecting in settings - home and select your default launcher
I had this exact same problem.
Your device has been flashed with a an unofficial rom (thats why you get that warning when switching the phone on for 5 seconds).
It was most probably done by whoever you bought the phone from. They usually do it to move from Hydrogen to Oxygen, but in the process they load in some crapware.
You need to flash your device to stock Oxygen using the official Rom.

you can reinstall the firmware from official oneplus website and after flashing the latest firmware, go into developer options (you have to enable them first by going to about phone and tapping the build no. 7 times, then enable advance reboot and usb debugging.) do not personalise your phone or set it up. reboot into bootlader and using adb and fastboot run the command "fastboot oem lock" this will erase all your data and reset your phone again and you wont get the splash screen message again.
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to the OnePlus world.
So my question is: how can I disable the password that is required before android is launched on my OnePlus 3 ?
I've searched accross xda but I found nothing, sorry if this has already been answered.
In the beginning I found it very useful, but once I removed Google Keyboard, I was not able to enter that password.
I want to use a modded google keyboard (with number row), and on the xda thread, the dev ask to remove the defaut Google Keyboard.
Regards.
Go into Settings > Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and remove it (choose None).
Once the device is set to none, go back into Settings >Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and choose PIN. It will ask you here if you want secure boot (enter a PIN to start device) or not use it. Just choose the latter.
EDIT: If you have fingerprint set up, you will lose it during this process
Another option is to just switch between password, pin or pattern. You still get the option of not to set on boot, but this prevents the fingerprints to get deleted as they do when switching to swipe or none.
Thanks guys the problem is now solved, I've selected PIN with NONE as option for boot.
I can't do anything else because would like to remove the google keyboard.
To do so you will need to wipe your /data but its possible through twrp for excample. Simply after hard reset chose not to require password after boot
I'm confused as to why Google Keyboard is required for entering a password. Can't you just set your other keyboard to be the default?
I accidentally hit "reset all settings" and now everything is in Chinese. How can I change the language back to English? I am unable to read anything under any of the menus.

If u have another phone u can use a camera document translate reader.
Just an idea
https://petapixel.com/2015/01/14/googles-translate-app-can-now-use-camera-translate-world-real-time/
lets try this:
1) go to settings and select the last option on that list (that is System)
2) Select the fourth option in that (that is Language and input)
3) Select the first option (that is Language)
4) you would see some chinese and a tick mark to the right. select the option below that (that is Add Language)
5) you should see English as a language there.
