[Q] Changing default launcher - Milestone 2 Themes and Apps

I'm trying to change the default launcher/home screen to ADW Launcher EX, but the way it explains it in the youtube video but it doesn't work (that pop up doesn't happen).
is there any other way to make it the default on android 2.2?

here, i just install ADW LAUNCHER and then reboot cel, then i got all working

though it still wants me to crop wallpapers lol

Get 'Home Switcher for Froyo' found in the Market.

Home smack also works

[Q] ADW launcher wallpaper problem

Hello folks, today I decided to try ADW launcher on my GTAB. I must say there are some really great looking themes, and its quite smooth and nice to use. The only problem I have went through so far is that wallpaper doesn't fit the all screen when in landscape mode. I have tried to resize them with the Gallery App, and I have also tried to download new ones from interfacelift with resolution of 960x854 or 960x800 but nothing has changed, and even wallpapers downloaded from the Grallery app doest fit the all screen in landscape mode. So I thought it must be a bug in ADW. Is there a way to make them fit the all screen ??
Thanks
not sure if this will help as I dont have a tab, but go into the ADM launcher setting and check or uncheck the wallpaper hack option....maybe that will help

It's old thread but is there anything happened with that problem since December? lol
Im still strugling witht that problem and half an hour surfing on the net didnt help. I sent mail to developer but so far no reply.
So the problem is old does anyone solved it yet?
What exactly is happening? Are some parts of the screen not covered by the wallpaper or are you only seeing a part of the wallpaper. I use ADW and in landscape mode. I get the top third of a wallpaper fully covering the screen. A live wallpaper I use works perfectly. Perhaps reset ADW to its default settings?

Have you tried these wallpapers with any other launcher?
You'll find that its the gallery's fault more than anything. Try multi picture livewallpaper

I am experiencing this as well. Portrait mode there is no issue, it is just landscape mode.
The stock standard Samsung home screen doesn't have an issue, it is just when I am viewing the ADW Launcher EX home screen. It is zoomed in on a particular section of the wallpaper and is only displaying a portion of the picture.
I have a Samsung GT-P7510 running Honeycomb 3.1 and ADW version 1.3.3.1
I too have the issue with my galaxy note, and i started this thread and had no luck so far

ADW Launcher EX wallpaper rotation bug
Well, on my Nexus 5 using ADW Launcher EX :
I'm in portrait mode, I set a custom wallpaper (image fits full screen, sides as expected are scrolling left/right when I switch through the desktops).
Now, I just rotate the phone to go in landscape mode, the wallpaper rotates but is cropped top/bottom and left/right too. "Ok, whatever..."
Then I rotate the phone back to portrait mode : the wallpaper doesn't come back to its original state but is kinda "zoomed in" so cropped on the four sides... I have to re-set it to get my original picture back...
The only fix I found was to force ADW to be in portrait mode and not use the sensor (the default launcher sticks to portrait mode anyway).
So, there actually IS a bug in ADW Launcher EX...
I wish the developer would fix this...

Best Launcher?

In terms of getting rid of all the mobile shortcuts and bugs, which is the best launcher for the Nook? ADW, Launcher PRo, or Zeam?
Using LauncherPro here
Is it free?
I'm a longtime user of ADW and Launcher Pro. I recently switched to Go Launcher and then settled on Zeam.
I find that anytime I use ADW or Launcher pro, I get inexplicable delays and force closes way too frequently to be acceptable.
Zeam and Go Launcher run light, not heavy on features, thus faster and more reliable. No issues with slow loading or force closes at all using Zeam.
Can you replace the phone icon on Zeam? I hate having that icon that I will never use even 1 pixel of my screen.

The little thing at the bottom is at your total control. You can just add apps right to that or like that app menu and remove as needed.
Included picture for better example.
+1 for Zeam
Can configure the dock and it has gesture controls too.
Yeah I'm using Zeam now and it's great. I love the look of it, and really like the gestures (I'm using swipe up to display notifications and swipe down to show applications).
Another Zeam-er here. Very simple and functional. I keep most of my icons on the tray and the screen is fairly clean with the exception of time/battery widgets and a fun Futurama quotes widget. I guess I'm not using it at its full potential but for my minimalistic needs it works.
If I install Zeam - can I still get to the Nook "Library", Shop, Web, Settings, Extras that are normally available to the Nook Launcher?
And... Can I remove Zeam and easily revert back to the Nook's standard Launcher if I want to?

Yes and Yes They are apps in the launcher and you can drag them down to your home screen to launch them

You can also install Home Switcher which would allow you to launch the 'default' NC Home screen.
I've gone through a few available launchers and found Zeam to be the best.

[Q] Setting the launcher

I installed the Regina 3D launcher in my Note, and it said the app was successfully installed. But I see no place to switch to this Launcher! It still stays with the default launcher. Same thing happened with another launcher too.
What am I missing?
Solved
My bad. Pressing the Home button did the trick. Stupid me.

[Q] Trying to use a different launcher

Hi everyone.
I've been trying to keep from rooting my KF HD and decided to sideload some of my launchers from my GSII. But when I install ADW, GO and Nova they all install correctly but they don't show up in my app list except for ADW. And ADW opens fine and lets me customize the home screens and everything but I cant set it as the default home screen.
Can anyone help me or explain why this is happening.
Thanks
ADW is the only one that functions correctly on a non-rooted device. Don't have a reason why though, but apparently Amazon wanted to lock out alternative launchers.
If you root, you can put the launcher apk in system/app, install and can set the home button defaults. I personally got go launcher ex to function, though I believe others have managed to get other launchers to work.
Otherwise non-rooted, ADW will function but you can't change the defaults.

KLWP & Nova Launcher - Wallpaper Scroll Issue

Hi guys
I am reaching out to you guys because I haven't found an answer in the world wide web and probably some others would have the same problem as I have.
I recently installed KLWP app to customize my wallpaper. Problem that I am facing is that with no used Launcher (Nova, Apex, Evie) I can make my wallpaper scroll. Option is always on and I also checked that I have the same amount of pages in KLWP and my home screen. Not even with the standard launcher of P20 it's possible.
Does someone of you have a potential solution for me?
Thanks a lot for your help and best regards from Zurich
No solution, but the same problem on a P20 (not Pro). Tried to set a picture as wallpaper in Nova Launcher, but scrolling doesn't work. I also tried to force scrolling in the nova settings, but this crashes Nova.

I have a potential solution for you. I have had exactly the same problems like, as it seems, a lot of other Huawei users and nothing seemed to work. I then installed a bunch of different launchers and I finally got it working with Action Launcher. It worked out of the box, even tho if I made changes within the action launcher the KLWP became static again. I switched betwwen stock launcher and Action Launcher until I had my KLWP set up with all the settings I needed. You have to play around with that a little I guess, but I really think it will work for you.
The Launcher is this one.
Kind regards from Germany!
has there been any solution or work around for this? as i have a pretty cool setup i used for my previous sony xperia z2 and want to use it form y p20 pro but wall paper scrolling is integeral to it.
When you choose wallpaper click on the scrollable icon so it turns blue, your wallpaper is now scrollable when you apply it
I did the scrollable option in the standard launcher and it worked but I'm more interested in getting it to work using nova launcher. That's where everything seems to break down on me. Using standard everything works the way I want, just to complete the setup, I need to fully customize my app looks and shortcuts.
Same issue with Honor 10. Force scroll option on Nova Prime crashes the launcher.
Do you have the ability to select live wallpapers through the normal stock launcher?
As I've noticed on stock launcher the only live wallpapers you can see are the ones through Huawei's Theme App and no option to use external live wallpapers, so I wonder if this is the problem. I've emailed them and just waiting for a response as they state you should click on 'more' and then get option for live wallpapers in top right screen of which I don't, it's only the huawei theme app
Wallpaper scrolling works for me using Nova. I can also select external live wallpapers using Huawei's themes app.
If I use certain wallpaper apps to apply the wallpaper directly from their app, it doesn't work. But I found that once applied, I can then use nova wallpaper selector to reselect the same wallpaper from its 'history' options and this forces the wallpaper to now scroll.

I was on 156 and now on Android Pie EMUI 9. Scrolling still works for me. Stock theme.
On my side, i try to disable the wallpaper scrolling because when i set a static "portrait" picture, it zoom the picture and it's a mess >_< (nova launcher set in static wallpaper)

So you are on a totally different model/firmware as not all P20 Pro's are the same, it doesn't work on the CLT29-8.1.0.131 (C782)
Update: according to Huawei 3rd Party Live Wallpapers are not supported.
In response, please note that Google live wallpaper, KLWP or any other non Huawei themed live wallpaper are not supported by the device

I've not gotten Nova Launcher Pro to work. As others have stated, if I select Scroll Wallpaper to On, nothing happens. Just a static wallpaper. If I choose forced, it crashes.
The Microsoft Launcher works fine however. Just set a regular wallpaper to scrollable in the Huawei Wallpaper app, then you can apply KLWP. This has worked for me at least. The drawback of the Microsoft Launcher is that it doesn't have the workaround for the 5 second delay which is a pain. I've reported the issue to Microsoft a few times, both on the Google Group and Twitter, but so far, nothing.
SOLUTION :_Wallpaper scrolling in klwp
Its simple.... If u have 3 screen klwp live wallpaper jst save it from klwp and come to home screen(hope you have nova) then hold the screen untill it arrives to add screens.
Add 3 blank screens and feel the magic of klwp.
U must also enable wallpaper scrolling in nova settings
