Switch instantly between two launchers [Requires JKay Deluxe Mod]

---

Maybe this has been pointed out before, but it's a neat trick I stumbled on.

Here's a useful way to switch instantly between two Launchers using JKay Deluxe Mod...

- Set your standard home button action to Launcher #1 (I use TW)
- In JKay Deluxe Mod settings, enable home double-click and point that to Launcher #2 (I use Go Launcher here)

This way you can toggle instantly back and forward between 2 completely different launchers simply by one or two taps of the home button, feels pretty slick.

JKay is already built into the awesome Saurom, or you can look at the JKay Deluxe Mod thread.

Just sayin'

There's also an app called Home Switcher in the market that works. I have like 4 launchers I switch from depending on how I want to theme

Yep Home Switcher is great, just thought this was a nice alternative that:

a) Works from a hardware button
b) Is free

Last I checked home switcher was free also

Cool idea, I knew about the double tap home button but hadn't thought to use it in this way. +1

Not trying to be rude or anything, just wondering. Why would you need more than one launcher? I am very intrigued...

You can set up each launcher completely differently.for example I use touch wiz for all of the heavy widgets and real time info as it's hardware accelerated. I have go launcher set up for higher customization with themes and icon packs for my own feel, I don't bother with widgets on go launcher as it's so laggy moving between screens.

This is a pretty smart idea Griffindodd.
I did use Home Switcher, but this is faster and more convenient.
Thanks!

Cool idea. This is how I was able to get QuickDesk Pro to work properly without having to set it as the Default launcher multiple times a day. Check out QDP. Super useful as you can invoke it any time even when in a different app. You can add shortcuts and widgets to it. Pretty handy to have your audio player and or volume widget in QDP and change music or volume without leaving what you are in, say like a game. Only thing that sucks though is I just learned the dev is no longer supporting it.
