Hi,
I have a Galaxy Nexus with unrooted stock Android 4.3 (build JWR66Y) and I am experiencing a weird behavior with stock launcher since I have updated to Android 4.3.
It happens when I uninstall any app that is organized within a folder in the home screen, thus the removed app icon remains in that folder, and when I try to open that folder the stock launcher force closes. I mean, every time that I do the steps described bellow the stock launcher force closes:
1)Uninstall an app that is within a folder at home screen;
2)Although the app is removed, its icon still remains within its home screen folder;
3) Then, When I try to open the removed app folder the stock launcher always force closes...
I was just wondering if is it a known bug for Android 4.3? Is someone else experiencing the same issue?Is there any workaround for this issue?
I have searched about It and I couldn't find any help...
Thanks

Experienced the same issue here. Only fix for me was to install a different launcher (nova for me) and that didn't fc, also was a lot faster imo because when I pressed the home button, the stock launcher first had a coffee before showing me my homescreen.

Hi F-Fect, thanks a lot for helping.
Please, Do you know if this bug is reported on Android AOSP bug tracker?
I couldn't find any report of this bug there yet =/
Thanks in advance,
Roger
Please, does someone know if it is known bug with any workaround?
I have searched about it on google, and I couldn't find more information about it...
I recently flashed this onto my device I have cleared every default I can find through the manage APPs settings. I have used root explorer to move and even delete the GoogleHome.APK but no matter what I do it always takes over as the default launcher. I wish to use Nova and even when I have it check the default launcher the Google Home launcher takes over. I know this is a miner bug but it is very annoying.
This a link to the ROM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501109
hey does anyone know what is the minimal dpi for stock base roms before system apps FCs? I'm unable to test it myself right know. Thx
530 DPI is the lowest setting without some FC and LG app icon glitching.
Where can I find system UI tuner in DP4? Thank you.
It's hidden in android P, but if you are rooted you can download the latest Pixel Launcher Mods 1.2, which has a shortcut for it.
Thanks for responding. I use ADW launcher so I was hoping for another solution.
No problem for that, Pixel Launcher Mods is just an app, if you don't enable launcher-specific option (that wouldn't work just because you're using another launcher), you can use it for launch the systemui tuner and nothing else
Edit: you can grab this app and create a shortcut for it if you want to: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/8p50yo/simple_way_to_get_system_ui_tuner_on_android_p/
Hi everyone,
Has anyone managed to change the default launcher on ROG6?
I tried installing Nova but in the settings Nova launcher is greyed out when I try to change launcher.
I'm running CN version btw.
The CN version doesn't allow you to change default launcher. You either need to root or connect your device to WW.
