I'm trying to set Microsoft Launcher as the default, but haven't found a way to add it and set it as the "default home app" as it's called in the Oppo Settings.
Model PDNM00.
Would appreciate any pointers or tips on how to accomplish this.

OK... I have got Tasker, I`m trying to make a shortcut to talkback, or accessibility that can be accessed from double pressing the home button.
I have tried xshortcut to try and use the capture feature on it, but I get a permissions error.
I could enter it in the intent field manually I suppose, but what would I have to type as an intent to get to talkback to either toggle on or off, or to get just the the talkback screen?
I have looked and looked. The closest I am getting is com.android.settings.Subsettings.
Yes I am a noob and yes I am out of my depth, but I am just trying to make a talkback toggle for my partially sighted wife.
Any flaming/suggestions welcome
EDIT: In an ideal world, the Home2 shortcut app would work, as you can select a shortcut in this app, so I would make an accessibility shortcut with Anycut, and use it with that, but SGS2 isn`t compatibile with Home2 shortcut, and advanced home button app cannot select shortcuts
BUMP.

any update on this?? Am also trying to figure out the same thing for galaxy s and an android tab..
Closest I have got is, because Home2 doesn`t work on TouchJizz, you install some kind of AOSP rom then it works faultlessly.
The closest shortcut you can make is getting to the accessibility page, this is does either through Nova launcher actions (which I thinik is similar to anycut) or use Anycut itself!
Talkback needs an update...
Same here. I emailed the developer of spiel and he says a direct shortcut can't be made as Google limits this!

How do you clear your launch by defaults, when i go to settings applications, then launch by default they dont give me a option to clear even tho i know the app is set to launch by default. Has anyone got any ideas or solutions this is so frustrating....
Check out HomeSmack in the play store. I've only used it to clear the default launcher, but it seems like it should work for all associations.
EDIT: I take that back, only for some common associations like Web browser and such. Looks like you have to go to Application Manager, select your current default application, and click "Clear defaults",
EDIT2: and if that fails, try editing the associations with ASTRO File Manager
I can change the default application on astro but not on the setting tab why is the default application setting always non selectable on ics settings what am i doing wrong
On ICS, the People app - I was looking at a contact and wanted to change the picture. By mistake I set the wrong app to open when i change the picture. How do I undo that?
I tried finding the people app int he apps list and clear settings, but it still uses the wrong app?
Go into Settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications, and find whatever app you set to use as default (the one you chose by accident). Tap it, and then on the screen that appears find the button "Clear defaults". Tap it. Then this app should no longer be the default for that task.

Wow that's insane. So instead of removing the setting for the app that USES it, you remove the assassination for ALL apps that use it? Good design there Google.
But thanks for your help!
I have created a launcher, and now I want to give the user the opportunity to leave it, and I already made it so that when the user presses a button, the launcher selection options pop up.
My problem is, I need that option, to set the default launcher.
This is what I have:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Set My HomeScreen as default"));
Any updates to this question? I need this as well.
On Chinese 20s rom any app with links and even in chrome it opens up default browser. It will not let me disable it and since I am not rooted I can't delete it. Anyone know how to make chrome be default browser? Never had this issue before to be honest.
Edit forget that I found it in settings eventually.
Go to System settings -> App Management > Default apps ( lower left part of App management screen) -> Tap on the type of app that you want to change as default and set to your preferred choice.
For anyone else who eventually needs to setup non-default apps AS default ones
