Pixel launcher button

[Steve Lee10]

Does anyone know if there is a button or widget to switch to the pixel launcher from another launcher (such as Nova). I'd like to easily switch back and forth between the launchers.

You can create a widget for the Default apps or even Home app screen to make easier getting to that part of the settings. You would need and app with access to the Activities, like Nova Launcher or Activity Launcher. The right steps will depend on which phone you have.

There are several apps that allow you to switch between launchers.

This one has no ads and is free.

Thanks Javier. I have Nova launcher, but don't see anywhere to access Activities. Also, I have KWGT, and I can create a button to launch an activity, but I have no idea which activity that would be.

I just downloaded it and it works great so far! I have an icon for it on each launcher page which makes switching easy. Thanks!

You can find the Default Apps activity under Settings. For a Nova widget, long press an empty spot on the home screen, widgets, drag Activities, scroll down until you find Settings, tap it and select Default Apps from there. Same place if you want to add a tap action on KWGT.

I'm not sure if the Home app activity could be available on your phone.

Neither default settings nor Home was found. I'm showing where I would expect to find those activities.

I should also mention that I have a Pixel 3.

Once you open activities scroll down to settings tap then find default apps and tap.
