Solution for default launcher reset problem when rebooting

Today (27 April, 2013), a new app named 'ssLauncher starter' has been released on Google Play. You can resolve this issue with this application.

[instructions]

1. install 'ssLauncher starter' from Google Play. link here
2. press home button.
3. select 'ssLauncher starter' and 'Always'



Now you can ignore the below. :)
===================================================================
Now ssLauncher the Original (paid version) has an issue that default launcher setting is reset when rebooting the device.
This issue occurs only when satisfying the following conditions.

1. ssLauncher the Original (paid version) on Android 4.1.x: The other Android version, even 4.2, is okay.
2. Important! Only when installed or updated from Google Play Store: It does not happen when the apk is installed manually.

I suspect that Google license checking module causes this problem when installing from Google Play.

Solution:
Install the following apk manually, which is absolutely same apk on Google Play.
I will keep the download to be the latest version.

Thank you.

    1. I have downloaded it just now. It works well.
      Please try again.

      p.s. You can do same thing by installing the com.ss.launcher.to-?.apk in /data/app.

  5. Thanks for the quick respond, some more questions:
    - I'm running on 4.1.2, any chance this problem will be solved?
    - Should any "official" updates until then be avoided?
    - how can I check my license Status

    By the way, thanks a lot for the great launcher!

    1. - There are nothing I can do for this issue in Android 4.1.2. As I said, this issue is already resolved in Android 4.2.
      - You will see the red banner when failed to check license.

  6. I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16i.
    It has hardware key buttons for back, home and menu key.

    I understand that the long press menu key offers google search.

    I have my phone rooted and have removed google search altogether.
    Now it just vibrates when i long press Menu key.
    Is there any way to re-map it to some other function? perhaps to recent apps or some other shortcut to apps.

    Pls advise.

    2. Is it possible to provide this customization in the upcoming updates of the Launcher.
      Will really help if we could customize what can we assign to long press of back and menu key.
