There are several beautiful launchers available to replace the default launcher provide by Android. I had downloaded this stunning Go launcher Ex and I really like it. I had set it as my default launcher. I have also installed Launcher Pro installed on my Galaxy S2. Now the situation is I want to change the default launcher from Go Ex to another launcher.

When I selected Launcher Pro it was changed but as soon as I pressed the home screen, the launcher went back to the previous one (goEx). I wanted my new launcher to be set as the default launcher. Here is how I changed the default launcher and set a new launcher as the default:

• Go to Settings
• In here, go to Applications and choose “manage applications”
• Go to the “all” tab
• Look for the launcher application which is the default one
• Click on it and look for the option of “Clear Defaults“
• Now select your favourite launcher again to launch it
• Press the home screen. It will ask to set the default launcher. Choose whatever you want

By the way, the above suggested steps are valid for changing any default application on any Android based phone and not just only Galaxy S2.
