Question How to make Nova default launcher? - Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2

Well, I feel the headline is as straight forward as can be, but ill be more specific. I purchased my Lenovo Legion Duel 2. So far I like the phone, but I cant seem to get Nova launcher to stay the default launcher. I manually downloaded the play store on the phone, not sure if I did it properly, I downloaded Nova, made it tho default home but, it doesnt stay. If I swipe up it goes back to zui, if I dont touch my phone for awhile when I go back into it, it reverts back to zui. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do?

0) try to install app via adb.
1) try to disable battery optimization for nova launcher (it help me with live wallpapers for example).
2) try to enable auto start for launcher in security app -> auto startup manager (add or enable auto start).
3) try to add all the permission to launcher
reboot at every try

[Q] Best launcher for X10mini

Hey!
anyone know a launcher that is fast,goodlooking and dont take to much battery (for x10mini)?
standard one is to uggly.
Try Zeam .. i prefer that to ADW or Launcher Pro.
my money is on Launcher Pro...
best alternates are the mentioned Launchers:
Zeam, ADW or Launcher Pro.
I would also suggest you GO Launcher.
Try them all end than stick at YOUR choice.
Zeam gets my vote for speed...
Launcher Pro was slow and somehow heavy on my X10
Zeam was blazing fast
Go Launcher was something in the middle (more features that Zeam but faster than LP)
It's a while I don't use ADW, I don't like when devs mess up with licenses.
My choice was Go Launcher because of the better dock but I think I'll move back to Zeam soon
Just a quick question.
If I install Zeam then how come I'll release the default one? It won't eat memory?
I like this launcher thing but it doesn't just eat memory the home screen keeps going on every time I turn it off.
By the way does anyone have the backup and restore always on and when he turn it off the coverage goes off?
took zeam, fast n goodlooking.

My money is on LauncherPro+ edition, its quite customizable and have a bunch of options. If anyone needs or anyone wanna try it, im attaching it.

.. not quite getting you with the first part...
Second part, about Backup and restore... I deleted it from the phone completely.. I had network recycle (my network go off and after few sec comes back) but it works just fine now.
I installed zeam and now want to remove the default home application from my hone. Can you please tell me which application I need to uninstall?
After reading this I decided to have a play with Zeam.. all I can say is after 10 min I was back to Launcher Pro+ (I missed my Custom Dock's, The LP widgets and widget resize, among other things)
If you want a good free Launcher.. Zeam seems pretty good (just looks like a cut down version of Launcher Pro)
if you want the best launcher then pay for Launcher Pro +
so anyone say which is the launcher that takes less battery.

i use "absolute system" to remove stock programs.
(root required)
zeam is good but it's lacking something.

Zeam is nice, if you don`t need to make phone calls. Because it is difficult to find a minuscule icon and hit it when you are in a rush.

A possibility to assign another dialer to the call function. Not only the stock one. I am sure somewhere it can be changed.

Stocked Home app is called SemcHome.apk, but i woudnt recommend you to delete it, cause you will have error poping up on boot, just install launcher that you wanna use and when you reboot you will get question in which app to open launcher (Stocked, or the one that you installed), check "always use this app" (or something like that, and choose app. From now on your Home screen and Launcher will be displayed with app that you choose.
Stocked Home app is, after that, useless (until you uninstall Launcher app), but you need it if you dont wanna errors poping up.
i tried them all but i found the best one is home++ it is really great with battery
and it looks really good
For me, Helix Launcher is the best for battery saving. It's like launcher pro but without the customizability, saving battery

[Q] android dash cam - crane cvr / Softwiner cvr

Hi, i just bought a Chinese dash cam/rear view mirror on amazon, i think its made by phisung
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7G994A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
it works well, but the android system is quite dated (4.0.4), and some of the setting are missing or dont work such as brightness adjustment.
so far i've rooted it using kingo and installed titanium and root explorer, and backed up the existing partitions using adb, but what i'm quite keen to do is modify the main launcher screen. at present i cant change the 7 apps on the main windows phone style launcher screen and I want to replace them with alternatives or replace the launcher.
I've sideloaded nova and a couple of other launchers, but whilst I can load them from the app draw, there is no option to set a new default launcher, and the home button always loads the pre-installed launcher, which is some chinese launcher listed as DX_launcher02 in the app draw and daxun.launcher.activity in system/ app folder, I've tried apps like launcher switcher, which have no effect on the default as the options is greyed out.
I've also tried freezing the built in launcher with Titanium, thinking it might then default to nova, but the home button( both hardware and soft buttons) then just loads a blank screen, so I used the recent app menu to go back to titanium and unfreeze the stock launcher.
I'm suspecting there might be a more complicated way to change the launcher, either by editing apk properties and changing the default app to point the shortcuts/tiles to new apps, or by setting a new default launcher, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated?
My friend bought exact same model.
He has problem with auto shutdown. Navigating or not - recording or not - there will be pop up that countdowns 10sec auto shutdown.
To abort shutdown - touch the screen. And of course - touching the screen doesn't help.
Have you found any solution for this?
5" Mirror DashCam
Hi I do not know too much about this Android device, but I bought one (Crane_cvr) frm Tingway and it was full of Chinese software. Trying to delete it was not successful and loading Google Play was impossible. The sellers sent me an "new" h200-2.img file which I installed with Phoenixsuite. However, my functionality of the GPS disappeared. I have even connected another working GPS, to no prevail. Since it seems you have lot more knowledge, do you have an idea how I can get the GPS working? I have now been trying for 2 months. GPS Toolbox / Test / etc .. do not pick up any satellites, but it seems the GPS is detected.
Thanks in advance

nova launcher strange issue

Hi!
I've recently installed the dev preview of Fire OS 5. It's amazing and really fast!
I've tryed to install a nova but, whenever i try to place a widget, my fire HD 6 opens the settings app
The stock launcher supports widget bye the space on the screen is very limite
I dunno
The 1st time you place a widget in Nova you get one of those "what do you want to use" prompts with the always/one time buttons. The choices, android.settings, are identical. Top one is Fire settings, bottom is Nova settings. You apparently chose top one and said always. Far as I know the only way to fix is to reinstall OS but maybe try a different launcher?
EDIT: Geesh (head-slap)! Above is for OS 4. I can only assume that unrooted OS 5 would always just go to Fire settings. Too bad. (Of course they don't want you to use alternate launcher. Boo!)
Thanks forse the answer!
Oh well, i think i home that the devs world root Fire os 5

Install Stock Android Launcher?

So I want to install Google Now Launcher on my RN2 Prime with the official global dev ROM, but when I try to open it, it says I need to go to settings and select it over the default launcher. When I get there, Google Now doesn't show up-has anyone else had this problem, or are there more ways to install it?
Go to recent apps, long press on the cross -> Defaults -> Launcher, choose Google Now Launcher.

Before this you need to enable autorun for google app and google launcher then reboot. After you can follow the snowk suggestion i have tested in this moment for security
If it doesnt work you might to try search something called "gel" in google services to unlock. Try one of the apps like Myandroidtools
So I actually just have no idea what I'm doing, I just needed to install it from Play store and instead of pressing "open" like I usually do, press the home button so it asks me what launcher to use for the action. Sorry I had not tried this before, but just for the record for anyone else who happens to have the same challenge.
I had similar problem..I downloaded Nova launcher and used it for a while..then later Google now launcher appeared on the default app{ "launcher"} settings..the best I swapped to GNL..:good:

Can't set any other launcher as default on EMUI 4.0 ANDROID 6.0.1 kiwi-L24.

Pretty much what happens is, I download it at the play store, and open the launcher. It works fine, but when I push the home button, it goes back to the stock launcher. Every time, I try to set a launcher as the default one, my screen just kind of jumps from the bottom up, and nothing happens. For the Google Now launcher, It gives me the prompt to either cancel, or go into settings. After selecting settings, it does the weird jump again. Kind of getting annoyed, since the stock Emui launcher doesn't have an app drawer. I tired it rooted, and unrooted. I do not have busybox installed, so I'm stumped. Is there hidden settings somewhere to change the default home launcher? I can't find it unlike the previous version. Maybe someone who has had the same problem as me, can shed some light into this problem. Thank you.
goto settings>apps
then click on 'advanced'.
there you can find default app settings,click on it and select launcher and set your desired launcher as default.
and dont forget to add that launcher in protected apps
