You know..with me being new at anything dealing with a Android phone,can sometimes be a real PITA...
I had a problem with starting Launcher Pro. I did everything I could to use it but no matter what I did I couldn't access it. I was pretty sure I had to change the defaults to do this,but everything was grayed out so I couldn't. I PM'd the Impaler747 who has helped me and others like me out several times ( Thanks Bro ) and he confirmed the defaults had to be cleared..and suggested the normal approach to doing so,which was
OK, do this. Go into settings, applications, manage applications, and then scroll down until you find launcher pro. If it's not there, then you don't actually have it installed, which would be the problem. However if launcher pro is there, then select it. Scroll close to the bottom, and select "clear defaults"
After you confirm that you'd like to clear the defaults, hit your home button. A dialogue should come up and ask which program you'd like to complete the action with. Check the "use as default" box, and then select launcher pro, not ADW.

so I knew I was on the right track..but still couldn't clear the defaults..I knew I had it loaded..hell I even downloaded it to my PC then copied it to my SD..but I just couldn't change the defaults in ADWLauncher nor could I access the LP settings..
So..I headed to the LP forum and started researching as I should have first before bugging folks with NooB questions ..and low in behold a few others had similar issues..The problem was the given answer "Use Home Switcher" which will allow you to clear the defaults and go back to being able to switch between ADWLauncher and LauncherPro doesn't work with Froyo 2.2...So..figuring I had to find something else to work with CyanogenMod-6 V6.0.0-RC1 which is 2.2, I headed to the Apps market and listed right below HomeSwitcher was the answer to my needs..ClearDefaultHome..this little free app does 1 thing and 1 thing only and that is to allow you to clear the defaults and switch..No more problem
So..I guess many of the old timers here are probably thinking.."what a dumbass" ..and that's ok..cause I'm still on the bottom of the learning curve,like a whole bunch of folks about these..but I just thought I would pass this on just in-case some other newbie like myself was having similar issues..
So..to all the Newbies like myself..when things go wrong..Don't Panic..most all of the answers are available..just think it through..and go look for folks having similar problems..and what they did to fix them..Most of the time..along with a dash of common sense will get you through..

Go back into manage applications and depending on what launchers you have you need to find the one you are currently using; sense, launcher, adw and then clear default. Or you can do a search on xda for home selector and download and install on your phone. Once done open the app and choose which launcher you want.

HaHa!!!
See what happens when I don't read the entire post. I was using the app you mentioned, but think I found another one that is like Home Selector which lets you choose your default launcher. Does cleardefaulthome do that or just clear the default launcher until you press the home key?

The most effective way to change your default launcher is to physically uninstall ADWLauncher and push the Launcherpro.apk into your /system/app/ directory via adb. Firerat posted a very clean and effective method of doing this on the Cyanogenmod forum boards. If someone happens to have a link please post it. Remember as always nandroid first before screwing around with your system files.

While this may truly be a effective way of doing this,it isn't for the majority of folks like myself that have never or rarely ever use any type of command line prompt in a terminal window.
While I do understand the need to learn how to do this when working with these phones,especially while changing things around on them,for some of us finding a easier solution without a steep learning curve is really the fastest way of effecting the changes we need. Hence..the reason of my post to give a easy solution to those needing one.
Here is a posted review I found today of what I used to fix my problem..

I think I see what the issue was. You were trying to use launcher pro, right? If I read that right, you were. Clearing the defaults in the app you were trying to use would do no good, even if you could. You needed to clear the defaults in ADW, not launcher pro. Then mash home to get the dialog box.

I couldn't clear the defaults from either unfortunately.In ADW the clear default button was grayed out...and even though I had LP loaded..I couldn't open the program..even when I completely un-installed it from the phone and re down loaded it and re-installed it. That what was freaking me out I pulled the battery..re-booted several times...and was just about ready to start from scratch.. Luckily it didn't get that far and found the right app to fix the problem..

Ah, I misunderstood then. Glad you got it sorted out.

Just as the title says, I'm not able to set my default home permanently, e.g. launcher pro instead of tw.
I hit the "set default home" button and it does register as my default home, however after opening certain apps or holding the home button(to bring up list of last opened apps) the save is gone and the pop up will prompt me to select my default home again.
A weird thing is that when I hold the home button the default home prevoiusly selected comes up as a choice as one of my last open aplications.
Itsreally getting irritating as I have to keep selecting my default home. This bug happened only after using jm5 + oclf for aroumd 2-3 momths and still persisted after I flashed jp6
Have you tried 'Home Switcher' from the Market?
Yes, however after setting the default home to my favourite launcher it will revert back to no default home again.
Anyway, I found how to fix it.
I froze the launchers I weren't using with titanium which then allowed to go back to one home only.
I assume this could be a hardware problem? My memory chip or something may have been corrupted after using oclf for too long

You cannot solve this type of problem with setting default home with any app like 'Home Switcher'.

Yes, it is a possible "solution". But it cannot help you when you want to use more than one launcher for example. The reason for this problem is that you install in your phone some badly written application. The error is located in this bad app in AndroidManifest.xml file which is integral component of every application on Android. The developer of app defined there wrong <intent-filter> for activity which has something to do with the home app. See more about AndroidManifest.xml here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html.
I have found this thread because I have the same problem as you. I remember that it started to bother me one week ago. I didn't find any solution, so I must go on my own way. When I get a time to solve this bug I decided to start with frozing every application which I have installed last week. And guess what happened? The problem disappeared. Then I defrosted just one frozen app after another and every time I test it with long press and then immediately with short press of home button to see if setting of the default launcher is still persistent. If it was ok I repeated this procedure and defrosted one more app and within a few iterations I quickly identify app which was source for this error. It was a graphic calculator which even doesn't use any permission, so who will guess that such an innocent application could behave so badly and could have deleted the default launcher setting? I definitely won't. Finally I froze only this badly behave app and the error has gone away. I informed the developer and now this calculator app is corrected in a new update so I can use it again without any collision with my launcher apps.
Looking for some guidance here, my wifes Captivate is running Launcher Pro (free version), and about a week ago, she received this message as one of those little popup messages, saying "This version of launcher pro is about to expire, please go to launcherpro.com to update"....
I checked the Market for an update, and according to it, there was no update. We saw this message about every other day, until this morning, she goes to use her phone, and basically launcher pro has completely crashed out, and keeps taking her to the web browser trying to open to the launcher pro website.
She has no way to get to her home screen, or any other part of the phone. All the physical buttons on the bottom redirect her to the browser trying to load launcherpro.com, I assume to get this "Update".
I've never heard of this, I run launcher pro too, which no problems. Any thoughts? How can I back her out of using launcher pro as her home app, with out being able to access the main android setting panel?
Can this be done from recovery mode?
Is her phone rooted?
Edit: And is USB debugging enabled?
Yes, it is rooted. I think her most recent launcher pro update (from market) failed to download, or install correctly, and now it's corrupt.
She only has access to the web browser. She can access other websites, but launcherpro.com will not load.
I had her remove battery, sim card, and then reboot phone, no dice.
Edit: I think USB debugging is enabled, but I'm not sure.... I'm at work, she's at home....I'm basically trying to get my plan together, so when I get home tonight, I can tackle this.
I also had her type in the direct URL for the most recent launcherpro update (apk file) which she was able to download, but of course she can't install it....
If she can sideload apps, You might be able to use the browser to download a different launcher (touchwiz, adw ..etc) then uninstall launcherpro and reinstall if you wanted... just use the browser to sign in to xda and download whichever u wanted....if browser wont let you download an apk then you could use adb, download your launcher then adb push it to /system/app/ and reboot (you might have to adb shell to mount /system RW) once it boots u might have to hit the home key for it to pop up and ask what launcher to use..

I got the same message like 2 days back. I went to market and updated my version. It didn't give that message again.
ya, that was the first thing I did, but according to the market, her version was up to date, or at least there were no updates for her to install....
I figured there would be a way for me to sideload something, but I've never done anything like that....rooting via an update.zip file, was easy....
Edit: the other thought I had was, if she gets a market app update notification in the notifications bar, we would probably be able to get to the market that way, and uninstall launcher pro, or install another home app (adw). So I'm hoping an update gets pushed today.

Try ADW. This is one home replacement simple and more or less on lines of launcher pro, well, atleast personally by me.
She needs to get home launcher or something so that she can switch her launcher.
I still use Touchwiz mainly, but I have Launcher Pro Plus, ADW, Live Home, and Netlife Home on my phone as well.
Thanks, the problem of course is that we cannot access any part of the phone except the browser...so once I can figure out how to get to the market, or into the android settings, I will be able to disable LauncherPro.
If anyone has a suggestion of how to accomplish that, it will be most appreciated.

She can't even access the market? If she can get an app called home switcher. That would let her choose which launcher to use. If not you would have to either email the creator or reset the phone if everything she touches makes the phone go to pp website. I don't know how anything she does makes it go to their website to upgrade.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

If debugging is activated you could try to adb push a new launcher apk to /data/app/
Go to appbrain.com and you should be able to hook into the Market from there.
You can also use the Android Sideload Wonder Machine from Androidcentral to sideload another launcher or HomeSwitcher. Link
Just connect your phone with USB debugging on, but not connected as a usb mass storage device, select the apk, and click install.
If you are comfortable with ADB then follow the instructions in the link below.

1. Download any launcher, say adw onto ur computer.
2. Use adb commands to push it to /system/app
3. Press the home button -- this will prompt u to pick one home app, pick the new one, and presto... u have full access to ur phone

MikeyMike has the easiest solution. If on the phone, you can only access the browser. Go to www.appbrain.com, and download another launcher from there(Zeam, ADW,Launcher2) install it and reboot, you should be able to then select which browser to use.
download the .apk from your computer and install using droidexplorer...problem solved
I had the same thing happen to me. The launcherpro website is also down. This seems well thought out. How do you make a program liked by almost everyone and turn it into something I'm swearing at for the last three hours because I need to use my phone as a #(*@^@% phone.
I don't have mine rooted. Stupid thing is I was planning to do it this weekend.
Any of the ideas above work for a non-rooted phone? Can I still sideload something else somehow?
Thanks.

Hi All, just some info sharing after I encountered TwLauncher force close loop after I installed an app. and how I resolved it. Searched for an answer for this but seems like everyone says do a hard reset which I do not want to.
Was trying out Dolphin Browser when suddenly my twlauncher force close. Think the error occurred because the browser tried to put a shortcut on the launcher but my launcher screens did not have space for it. Rebooting does not help as the twlauncher still goes into force close loop when the phone starts up. Almost wanted to do a hard reset but was thinking if I could go into Settings and remove the dolphin browser which may remove the error. After trying, I realised I could still go into the Settings by holding down Menu button to go into Search option (after dismissing the force close) and search for the Settings app. However when I went into the Settings, removed the Dolphin browser and rebooted, launcher still goes into force close loop.
Then I figured I should clear the data in twlauncher and let it launch in default. Same thing again, press and hold Menu button to go into Search. Search for app Settings and launched it. Go to Applications, Manage Applications, All and select TwLauncher. Go to Storage -> Clear data. And presto! No more force close loop!! TwLauncher now sets back to default, and the only thing you need to do is to customize/add back your launcher 'desktop' again with whatever shortcuts or widgets you want or had previously. No hard reset required which save a lot of hassle! So the error is basically data corruption which caused the TwLauncher to go into force close loop.
Hope anyone who encountered the same problem as me don't have to hard reset anymore with this solution!
Damn, you just saved me.
Thanks so much, I almost did the hard reset myself!
thanks man, i thought it's some bug from my rom, by now i see it's not. u're my hero!

damn thus thread is a little bit too late.....I experienced it about 2 week ago...the only solution was to flash back my FW because Hard Reset didnt help...btw thanx for this coz it might be usefulll for the future....
Well, glad my old thread helped some of you guys. I'm not sure why some of you can't see the default rom twlauncher, unless you are using a custom rom with another launcher.
This sounds good and would have certainly helped me on the numerous occasions when I have experienced this, caused by an application failing to find desktop space to park an icon every time.
One small thing is nagging me though. If Search is not one of the last six apps I've used it won't show up in the Recent apps drawer that appears when I hold the menu button or have I missed something?
thanks bro this is great!!!

Same issue with Meridian Pro player, the widget would make it crash.
Deleting the widget, clearing application data, then re-adding the widget fix it.
Note that clearing the application data makes it forget your unlock code for the pro version. Make sure you have a copy of your code before clearing the data.

If you can get back into the market, install another launcher, or uninstall then reinstall zeam. That should reset the first home button press to select launcher.

If you rooted, then you should have Nook Color tools in your apps. Go to Nook Color Tools>Settings>Manage Applications and find Zeam. Then clear the defaults and back out of the application. You should be able to make a choice between "Home" and "Zeam" as your launcher when you press the Nook button.

I ran into this same thing. To fix it, going through your web browser and install an APK for something launcher related. This will make android bring up the "Default Launcher" prompt the next time you press the 'N' button.
Try something like this, get back into Zeam, and uninstall it:

Edit: If you can browse to the Zeam, Soft Keys or Home Switcher APKs, I suppose you could reinstall and that would also bring up the prompt.

When you say to go through my Web browser and install an APK. How would I have done that? Using the browser on the NC, can you install applications from market.android.com? I didn't think you could...
I'm back MN rooted now...get to reinstall all my apps and fun stuff! Boo! I won't do THAT again!
On a semi unrelated note, has anyone else noticed significant lag when panning through the app drawer using zeam? Using phiremod cm7 I switched to adw (stock) launcher and it seems so much smoother even though I'm not clocking it as fast (1.1 to 800 MHz) which I found extremely odd

For some reason ZEAM's app drawer does lag on all versions of the BN software thats rooted. It has been seen by many users here. If you try launcher pro much better app drawer and totally smooth even more than the stock app drawer that comes with android operating system. Although I beleive you cannot do specific things using launcher pro that you can do with zeam!
I'm having the same problem. I mistakenly set my N button to Home and now it is as if my device is no longer rooted. With the 1.2 root, the Apps button only shows B&N apps. I hoping someone has a solution, so I don't have to start all over...
How did you get your N button to set as physical home? Are you using Soft-keys? In 1.2 so far I have not managed to engage the N button at all to go HOME. Ended up locking the Soft-key HOME icon in the Taskbar to get out of BN screen.
Easy fix, from home launcher: search, then just search for Zeam or what ever app you have installed. With search history on it could even be considered a crude app tray.
do a search, apps should come up in the search list and you can access the launcher from there.
Haven't experienced Zeam lag...
