cool! are there any graphical glitches when you press home (like, can you see original launcher for 1/2 second?)

I tried this and it did not work for me. When I open the launcher hijack app, there is no button to click. There is only a blue at the top that says laucher hijack. Beneath that is says Hello World. No buttons, nothing else.

Go to settings, accessibility, and turn on the detect home button switch. Also it only works with Nova launcher

Thanks...works beautifully. I couldn't root my 4 yr olds HD7 because the pc won't recognize it and I wanted to get her a more personalized interface. Thank you so much.

Acceptable.

Doesn't work with google now luncher! Nova works fine, still flashes the original homescreen before the switch though. Acceptable and thanks.

If you REALLY want GNL before I get home from this trip, decompile the apk then go to AccServ.smail and change com.teslacoilsw.launcher to the right package name

This is pretty cool. Now I don't need root to use a custom launcher!

Would it be possible to get this app working with other launchers in the future? Thanks for the hard work btw.

Yeah, I'm just lazy and no longer own a fire. It's on GitHub.

Works great. Would be awesome to have it auto load Nova Launcher on system restart though!

Good idea, I forgot about that

I logged into my xda-developers account that I hadn't in three years just to comment on this. This is awesome, and is going to make me love this device, rather than use it occasionally.

I, too, would love to see it start on boot. Is there a way to automatically or manually kill the Amazon launcher process?

Thanks for this GREAT work!!!!
