Hello! On my S4 i337, It does not remember the default launcher on startup and is beginning to inconvenience me. Any ideas on how to make it remember that choice?
P.S. When I restart it, I need to update the SU binary every time. This is also getting annoying.

Same problem for default launcher never remembered on S4. (TSF Shell). No problem for SU.
EDIT: For me this is a firmware bug. Any MEA stock or MF3 based firmware solve this bug. Any <MEA firmware have the default launcher not remembered bug.

What root procedure did you use? Also, what launcher are we talking about? As far as the launcher, clear the cache for the launcher in application, in settings, it should clear problem the launcher.
It should after that ask to make it the default, if not, snag apex or nova from market and install, it will ask them, choose TW as the default.

Hey I have root R2024
in the R2020 root in the ADW launcher settings there was a setting to set the actions when you swipe up or down on the home screen.
In the R2024 I couldnt find that setting, just wanted to know is it possible to update the launcher. Or should I just update to R2026

ii thanks got it fixed
I really love the TouchWiz launcher. But i miss to hide my apps in drawer. Is there a way to get 4.3 launcher to 4.4.2, or a mod that can fix it for me?
I've tried the 4.3 launcher with 4.4.2 but it gives FC
yep. that was what I first noticed with the update. try putting them into folders.
cheers ~
This really isn't good enough! WTF is Samsung thinking? There should be no reason for removing this functionality? It seems to also be something built within the firmware; it is not launcher related in otherwords, I found this out because when I was running Android 4.3 I had flashed an update to run the S5 launcher and icons theme. When I did this I was still able to hit the menu button and select apps that I wanted to hide. Since upgrading to Kitkat I noticed as you did that I was no longer able to do this, that was ok I just thought to myself "No problem I will just flash the launcher upgrade and theme for S5 on my S3 as I did before and that should allow me to unlock this functionality" NOT CAN DO! Both the stock Kitkat launcher and the S5 theme upgrade do not unlock this functionality unfortunately Someone is going to have to find out where the issue lies and try to port it back? If I find the answer I will make sure I post back here with a fix.

Download the s5 launcher from one of our threads. Flash it. And you have the hidr feature again.
Or just install a 3rd part touchwiz launcher themed app..you have that function
Mi launcher..nova..apex..go...any if these launchers do provide this function
Press Thanks if I helped

Custom launchers doesn't even start on my note 3 anymore after lollipop update. Anyone has such problem and possibly a working solution? Just after I start Nova launcher, i have a message "Nova Launcher is stopped". It's the same with Apex launcher as well. I'm using pro version on both launchers.

Uninstall them. Clean your phone and maybe cache too. Try again. With no restore of settings.

I've cleared cache and data of the apps and uninstalled them. Then i reinstalled them from the Play Store. It's still the same. I started thinking if nobody else is having the same problem after lollipop update maybe it's something about my rom installation.
Problems like that after an update usually require a factory reset to fix.
I've done a factory reset and flashed the lollipop rom through Odin again and it's still the same. I can't use custom launchers after lollipop update
If this is happening on Stock Lollipop ROM then you probably are on your own, cause I haven't seen a single person mentioning a problem like this. Nova Prime works flawlessly on my phone, as it should, which is on LP obviously.
Yeah I am on stock lollipop rom. I started thinking maybe the problem occurs because of memory leak issues of lollipop. Since there's no sign of Samsung to upgrade note 3 to Android 5.1 I will consider flashing a custom rom which is built on 5.1 if I can find any on xda.
As title says I by mistake deleted the launcher. I can't seem to find a link to s7 edge laucher apk that would be great. Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to get it back let me know thanks.
There's a thread in the Apps section that has the Launcher for the S8?

I tried that however all it does it trys to restart. I have no launcher at all on phone atm so its a bit hard to navigate. I'm on eng bootloader and latest update so I can't just reflash firmware as It hasn't been released that I know of.

Well, damn.
I'd try to get a 3rd party installed. If that doesn't work I could only suggest going back to stock

well I can sideload nova if i must but im really liking the new launcher on 8. I didn't think i could go stock considering on latest update and theres no firmware uploaded yet. So if i odin any other version im going to get an error. Right? or no?
If there anyway to get this feature on Android 7 Touchwiz? I don't want to use a 3rd party launcher and I've tried installing S8 touchwiz Launcher with no luck. I'm not rooted and don't want to be on this device. Is there anyway to get swipe up for app drawer?
Many thanks peeps.
try this version here I had to use this one in order for it install https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/touchwiz-home/touchwiz-home-6-0-77-release/
If that one doesn't install then you're going to have to root and manually install it.
