Home Launcher Default won't stick

I'm rooted running the latest Quantum rom with ext4 support dk28.
I've noticed that my home launcher default won't stick. To replicate the issue...if I press my home button for several seconds to bring up my most recent app pop up, then close that and hit the home key I will get the pop up asking me what I would like my home defaul launcher to be. Anyone else having this issue?

Try home switcher in the market. Its free. It lets you pick which launcher you want as default.maybe that'll work.

Occasionally I have this problem too, but not recently.
You can also go into menu > settings > applications and up top hit "all" and find all of the launchers (one at a time) and click them, then clear defaults.. once you've completed this, pick the launcher you want to use as a default and see if you have better luck.
I use zeam and haven't had this problem in a week or two.

How to choose another default app?

For some functions on the phone it lets you choose which app you want to use to perform that function.
If you set one app to default, then change your mind, how do you change the default? You don't get the default choosing window anymore after you choose the default...

Go into settings, applications, manage applications, click on the app that is set to default, clear data.
For example, if you do that for adw and you run launcherpro by default, once you do that and press home, you now will get the option to set the app of your choosing to default.

Not Clear Data, but Clear Defaults

Yeah you're right. Tried to remember without using my phone. Got most of it right though.

How to clear notifications with 3rd party apps

Hey when I use go dialer its not clearing out missed calls I have to go into the original one to make them go away using the latest cyanogenmod . Reason I use go dialer is that the original one don't have smart searching.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Yeah, I just noticed this, as well, that it doesn't clear the missed calls notification. Strange, as it does work with Go SMS. Odd...
By the way, you're using a Desire HD? So do I and the original dialer does have smart searching. You can either press the numbers if you know part of the phone number or you can press the letters of a name and it will find that as well. And with press I mean 'tap' of course.

Are You talking about stock ROM or cyanogenmod when you say the dialer has smart search
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

The stock ROM. CyanogenMod's dialer doesn't support smart search.

Any fix for that? got the same problem that it doesnt clean the missed calls...

Dialer one has the option to clear missed calls, try it out, see if it fits you...

Yeah it works but I want to stick with go contacts

I have the same problem. I'm using Go Contacts EX and its really frustrating to open native phone app, just to clear missed call notifications
still nobody found a solution? I'm using CyanogenMod 7.0.3-DesireHD

Download Titanium Backup, navigate to Go Contacts in the app list in TB, and long press it, then select "Convert To System App". That will allow Go Dialer to clear the missed call notification!

Changing default dialer

This may not be specific to the S4 but is there a way to change the default dialer to Go Dialer. I don't care much for the default dialer's aesthetics and would like to use something more customizable. I haven't had any luck. The only options I get after clearing the defaults for the stock phone and contacts app is Phone and my Sophos.

Go.

Im guessing your talking about Go Contacts EX while on your dial pad hit your menu key themes and you can download some I like the Iceblue Theme.

Im referring to changing the default dialer from stock to go contact/dialer. Even when intiating a call from go contacts the stock dialer and sophos are the only options I get to select from after defaults are cleared from the stock phone and contact apps

I'd like to know how to do this too, trying to use Dialer One as the default dialer, but I see no way to modify this.

I have the same problem. Just got Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. Dialer I am using to setup - Rocket Dial Pro version.
But there are only are only Phone and Skype apps in "Complete action using" dialog box.
Tried to reinstall Rocket Dial, add/remove from device administrators. I must admit, phone IS NOT rooted!
I will try to contact Rocket Dial developer, as I am using commercial version.

Likewise Motorola XT910

Similar RocketDial problem with Motorola XT910 (except different "complete action using" options).
Any useful response from developer? Thanks.

Display of Dialer instead of Call Logs

Hi Guys,
Is there any setting which I am missing, whenever I click on the phone icon. I am always presented with the dialer and then I have to scroll to call logs. Is there some setting where in I am always presented call logs (as in nexus4) and then i scroll to dialer?
Thanks again

When in the dialer, hit menu, and edit tabs.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.

That is editing the tabs but still the dialer opens by default. Is there any way we can change it to call logs?

So it cannot be changed

I don't think it can. Your best bet would be to use a different dialer.

I just ran into a solution for this. It's not available as an option on the dialer but it is available as a setting on the G2 TweaksBox module for the Xposed framework. I installed it and enabled that option and it's working fine for me.
