Thanks to others for the ADB version of how to do this, however there is a quicker method through Titanium Backup by searching for the 'Launcher' app and 'freezing' it.

Yes, to get the best from Titanium Pro you'll need to root

Thanks. For this particular action however, is root needed? I know TIB has some functionality without root required.
Not sure really as mine is rooted....sorry!
Greater minds than mine might confirm one way or another!

OK thanks. I'll try later after work to see if it works or not without root and will update.
Cheers!
you can pm block stuff on firehd without root. TiBU falls back on this function, if it cannot detect root.
there's also this highly useful software that works on firehd (and just about any kitkat/4.4 device)

it also works fine on pre-4.4 devices (e.g. fire TV) but only if they are rooted.
it's sort of like a very-stripped-down-TiBU for Windows. sometimes it's nice to be able to filter and enable/disable large scale, without having to click around an android app
pretty sure someone alreary mentioned, but make sure you have a 2nd Launcher installed before you disable spamazon launcher
I forget if there is a way to recover from that or not.

(if am remembering this correctly (too lazy to search for my old posts lol) - pre-4.4 doesn't have 'pm block' only 'pm disable' - "disable" requires root, "block" does not. titanium understands this difference, but treats both as "freezing" - so does the above windows software tool. if you freeze stuff in titanium, the windows tool will show it as blocked or disabled. if you block or disable stuff in the windows tool, titanium will show it as frozen.)
