I am using AIO launcher and almost evrrytime I launch a new app from it's shortcuts on home screen it comes up with a pop up asking for permission to launch the app I want. "Allow AIO Launcher to open...xxxx.". With options Deny and Allow.
The dev and I think this is a MIUI10 thing. I have given almost all permissions to AIO launcher (except making call and sms) but I still get this prompt.
Any idea where I should change settings?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using Nova launcher and there was just an option to use launcher every time.
Go to settings -> permissions...
If not AIO should have it's own settings

There are permissions and there are "other permissions" (dont ask. smh). Go to manage apps in settings and search for AIO launcher and tap it, scroll down and youll see "App permissions", and "Other permissions" . Make sure that all permissions under "Other permissions" are marked Accept and see if it works
You will need to check which permissions MIUI launcher app has and replicated to your launcher, I recall there is a Default App/Action (I'm not sure) that allow you assign which app will be the default for certain things, like you can use Chrome as default web browser.

I had downloaded and installed a few launchers... in particular adw ex, launcher pro, he, and zeam. I decided to stick with the stock launcher and for some reason, even tho I chose to make the stock my default, after reading the home button a few times, it brings me to the selection dialog. I am running stock firmware rooted with visionary.

Are you talking about the pop up that asks you to select the home launcher? If so, it's because you still have the other launchers installed. You can uninstall the other launchers or you should have a check box at the bottom of the selection pop up (something about use default). Check it and select HTC Sense.

Yeah, I'm talking about the pop-up. And usually when I select one as the default, it works. Hitting home will take me to the home screen, but after a few times, its like it forgets which launcher is default, and brings the popup back up.
Try using Home Manager from the marketplace.
If all else fails, you can always delete ADW and LP
yes, just delete the ones you dont want
My ADW Ex has been going nuts the last few days. A lot of FC.
Its updated to the latest version

ok i figured out how to prove it forgets the launcher. With multiple launchers installed, choose one as your default. Now hold the home button down until the list of recently used apps pops up, now hit the home key.
make sure none of the launchers have been moved to the sd card...
Well at the moment I only have adw installed. Its really starting to piss me off lol. Wish there was a fix.

If you don't want the stock launcher, just remove it. You can do this by deleting Rosie.apk from the /system/app folder. And if you're going to do that, delete all the now useless sense widgets from there as well. That'll make it so that you only have your after market launcher. And if you want to make it a system app, just copy and paste the .apk into the /system/app folder. In theory it should help prevent the launcher stay in memory. This is exactly what I did and my Iced Glacier flies!
Get launcher switcher free from app store... select the launcher you want as default... make sure you CLEAR in the app the old launcher defaults (bottom of page) and Viola your done....
Aloha from Hawaii!
I have a=found a few apps that throw up a window saying "Screen Overlay detected" and ask that the permission be changed in settings > apps. When I go there, I find a slider, but can't move it.
Does anyone know how to make this change?
Settings - apps - settings cog (configure apps) - Draw over other apps - down arrow - Apps with permission
Now disable/enable the permission for each app listed. Between disabling and enabling run the app you were having trouble with. If that didn't work disable for all apps that aren't Verizon, Google, or Moto. If that didn't work disable for all apps.

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.

Cant blame you, i would've thought the same thing, i had a very hard time getting the Letv le max to work with another launcher, but they fixed that
Nova launhcer just jumped straight into the settings for me on this one
I installed Pixel 2 Launcher.apk as default Home app. But when I reboot phone, I need manully set Pixel Launcher as default Home app, otherwise Home app will still be Launcher3.
How can I disable or delete Launcher3? Where is Launcher3 app in system?
Even I am using pixel launcher but I am not facing any such issues. If you have not already done, go to settings --> apps --> click gear icon(top right) --> under 'home' select ''pixel launcher'.
P.S : I am using pixel launcher v1.7

If your device is rooted just uninstall the default launcher using 'System App remover (root)' app. If your device is not rooted try to install third party launcher preferably 'Nova Launcher' and reboot, then set pixel launcher as default( As specified in my previous post). I am not sure whether this works. But initially I installed nova launcher and then later pixel. Hope it works.

I advise you not to uninstall any of the system apps because you might have extra problems with installing OTA update. You should only freeze system apps, so they are not active, nor visible
Thanks Ved K's suggestion. I install 'System App Remover' app and find Launcher3.apk's path. Rename this apk, so I get Pixel 2 Launcher as my default Home app when I reboot system everytime.
The next I want solve is set Live Wallpapers - Your world, Solar System as my default Home screen when reboot.

using the same launcher, not having such issue here
I'm using Microsoft Launcher and I don't find any issues keeping it as default launcher.
I just selected (ALWAYS) When asked Just once/always while touching home button.
I have MiA1.
Another alternate is to reset DEFAULTS in settings menu from the LAUNCHER3 APP.
There is no way to freeze Launcher3 if device is not rooted.
You can neither disable nor uninstall default launcher and imo! After playing with ADB tools for years and switching/flashing multiple/heavy OSs in my various devices I find rooting a waste. It makes your device vulnerable (not talking about security, talking about performance) and you eventually miss the future updates that feels miserable (flashing them is time taking, not for worthy people as every worthy individual is busy person).
I have a MXQ Pro 8K 5G Android box (1/8G), it runs Android 7, when i try to change the launcher to something better, it keeps it as default but boots to defualt on reboot, can anyone help?
set your new launcher as default, then go to settings > apps and disable the factory launcher, reboot and try again

I tried it, it just reenables it
well, you could try to uninstall the default launcher, but first set the new launcher as default.
you'll need root access for that, and most of these boxes have root access by default.
so just search google play for a system app remover, just make sure you're removing the correct app so you don't blame me for messing up your box
I'm kinda nervous at deleting system apps, by the way I am gonna sleep rn
ya if you're not comfortable doing it, i suggest not to do it.
