Hi there,
I got mine yesterday, very fine at least.
BUT, for me it´s not possible to DEactivate the default stock launcher and to activate the APEX Launcher as default.
I´ve installed apex, restored all my settings from old phone, that works.
But each time I left the menue, the app drawer, whatsever I´m back in the stock launcher and I have to select apex launcher manually.
In the settings menue there is no option to set apex as default
In the apex settings menue there is an option to select the default launcher, BUT there is only the stock launcher selectable, apex is not even listed as an option.
Any ideas to solve that?
Actual stock rom installed, play store and google apps, all is running fine, but not the launcher

You have to go to "Settings" then "Apps" and down on the middle side is "Default Apps" then you select "Launcher" and set the one you want as Standard.
hope i could help
Go to settings. Then apps. In the bottom you Will see default apps. Go in. In launcher you can select of all you have. I have the original, google launcher, pixel and Nova.

I just installed GDE, wanna give it a try before commiting on it.
Now when I press on the "Home" touch-button it will ask which launcher I wanna use. Kinda annoying.
Of course I can choose to use GDE as default, but before I figure out how to restore to default launcher, I don't wanna do it.
So, any hint for that?
If you choose this app as default fine. If you ever want to get the default launcher back go to settings, applications, manage applications then find the launcher app you are using in the list. Then stroll down page to the clear defaults tab.
I have tried home switcher and the likes to try to set go launcher, launcher pro and adw launcher. Tried to clear default manually. (Basically the same thing home switcher does).
But whenever i exit apps or even preferences. My phone prompts me to choose what launcher to use. I choose ex launcher pro. Tick of the default theme. And it still prompts me 2 minutes later.
I am not rooted. On froyo 2.2.1
Can anyone help choose and keep another launcher than htc sense?
Don't know, but for me after geting a new launcher(launcher pro), had hard time to move from sense, it's great.
But I just once selected the launcher pro as default, and phone has ever since asked to choose.
If i want to switch back to sense, how to do it? Only way i see is to instal another launcher to get the phone to ask what to use.
And haven't rooted my phone.

Uninstall launcherpro. Then Sense will take over.
getting back to sense is easy..
install yet another launcher to get to choose default. thats the hard and stupid way.
else.. settings/programs/ go set sense as the default
homeswitcher. which is the same. just takes a few steps off the process..
but how do i set another launcher as default for good, without home button sending me to choose default launcher all the time?
is it possible that an app has changed some settings?
can i freeze out sense or any other workaround, without rooting ?
I had this problem when I had Launcher 7 and ADW installed. I chose L7 to be my default and couldn't get ADW back. Then found out by going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Application -> All and then choose Launcher Pro. Scroll down and you should see a section call Launch Default and click Clear Default. That should fix it.
I'm on CM7 so how you get to Application list may vary. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, of the phone constantly asking what launcher to use when pressing the home button. I would pick my preferred launcher, check the box to use my selection as default. Then it would stay as default for a while, but "lose" the default fairly soon. This happened frequently, many times a day.
I tried clearing the default (both manually and using home switcher), uninstalling all but the stock Sense launcher (this was on Virtuous), and the problem just came back even after just installing one launcher (and it didn't matter which, I tried installing/uninstalling different ones). Something definitely "changed" to cause this problem (although I don't know what). It was fine for a while when I was on Virtuous, and then one day it wasn't. I was playing around with various launchers at the time. So I all can think is one of them somehow messed up the ability to keep the default.
The problem persisted until I flashed back to the stock ROM. Only other thing I can think of to try, is to clear dalvik and cache. Clearing those seems to fix some random problems, once in a while.

I had the same problem, and after reading tons about it online, it seems the only explanation is that one of your apps is interfering with the choice, it can be any app you have, even if it has nothing to do with a Launcher function.
What I did was backup all my apps (130+) to Titanium (I am rooted), then uninstall them all. I then proceeded to reinstall them by batches of 3-5. Until I pinned down the problem to Photoid Pro. I dumped it and ever since my Z has been working flawlessly on Zeam launcher.
I have read that there are several other apps that interfere as well, so you might have to do as me, uninstall, and reinstall until you can spot the culprit.
Hello all, this is my first post here.
I have a simple question: is it possible to modify the number of screens in honeycomb ?
Thanks in advance for your replies

Use ADW Launcher EX! Blows the stock launcher out of the water and you can set that too. And it's smooooooth and fast too.

When you install ADW launcher and press on "home" a box should appear in the center of the screen saying whether you want to launch "Launcher" or "ADW Launcher EX"... select the Always do this and ADW Launcher EX.
If you want to reset it: go into settings -> applications -> manage applications -> find adw launcher ex -> clear defaults
Under "Launch by Default", ADW says "no defaults set". Do I have to reinstall? When I hit the "home" button, the TF takes me to the stock launcher.
EDIT: reinstalled, same problem.
EDIT: Found "Launcher" under the "All" tab and cleared that. Fixed.

Download home switcher (or similar) from the market and you can easily switch between launchers.

First off, I am a NOOB. So take what I did with a grain of salt, it may not be right. If I could get a senior member to check this out as well. I installed 2 launchers, go launcher hd and adw launcher ex. Then installed wallpaper wizardii, now I can use my pictures to set the background. You have to use "no scroll" in the settings. I am still playing with the functions, and it looks better on go launcher hd than adw launcher ex, but it works.
Rooted kfhd , step by step set up.
Do you have to be rooted to install launchers? I am un rooted and it never shows up in my app list. I can side load just fine, just not launchers. Tried Nova and go had.

if you are rooted, if you move the apps to system/app you can change there permissions. This allows for you to change the launcher to any launcher by default. So that when you press the home button you don't have to be forced back into the amazon launcher. Completely different from side loading the apps. I highly recommend it if you prefer a different launcher like me.

Ok thank you, I did not know that I had to change the permissions and file location. I am going to root my Fire tomorrow and then I will do that.

Word to the wise--DO NOT set your new launcher as default until you are very sure it is working ok. You can get stuck in the boot loader and believe me it is no fun!
Ok I have rooted it and installed apex and it is very nice. Everything is working smoothly. Now i might go make a theme pack to make it look like stock ics. What are the dangers of modifying framework-res.apk?

Although I can only make out half of what you wrote - I can confirm I too had this problem with Apex ("Apex has stopped working"). Luckily, I was able to get into my email through the favorites star and clear defaults. I dont know why, but the Apex launcher will not work for me.

Blurry kindle wallpapers
For anyone whose having a trouble finding a good unblurrywallpaper for you Kindle Fire (if using a launcher):
Search the Google Play store for an app called Wallbase
Once installed, go to Settings --> Resolution --> Select "2560x1600"
Find a wallpaper you like and set it as you wallpaper. WALA! You can also save it so you can ur wallpaper while offline via Wallbase.
I hope people who have problems with blurry Kindle wallpapers get to see this. I was surprised when I found this out! GOOD LUCK!
I have done some googling but didnt help.
I followed this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/successfully-changed-launcher-to-nova-t3744067
I used pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher to disable the fire launcher but it just lead to a black screen where I coudn't use home button. There was just time and "Try Alexa,remind me on Saturday to call Dad" Text. I could go to next screen by swiping left there was also some random text about a video. I can use settings but I cannot go to the home screen where all the apps are.
I had to enable fire launcher.
Did some googling and it said that we need to set NOVA as our default launcher. I checked the nova launcher and it said that it is not set as default launcher and "click here" to set up as the default launcher.
When I click it, it just goes to the settings.
Where in the settings can I make NOVA as my default launcher?
Sorry for my englando.
I just used launcher hijack.
It solved the problem
Nova Launcher
Plug your tablet into fire toolbox click on custom launcher click drop down select nova click install it will tell you already installed then it will disable fire launcher and you are all set
