How To Switch Launchers in Android 4.4 – KitKat

In Android 4.4, you may have noticed there’s a new option in settings. Just under the networks section there’s the Home option. In that setting you can actually change your launcher on your device. Now that’s nothing new, well it sort of is, let me explain. Prior to Android 4.4, if you downloaded a new launcher and then pressed home, it would ask you which launcher you wanted to use. Well that’s still there. But what’s changed is that before, you would have to go into Settings > Apps > and delete the data or defaults from the launcher to go back to the original one. Now Google has made that a whole lot easier. Basically under the Home section in settings you can choose which launcher you want and also uninstall them all from the same screen. Which is a great addition to the OS.

How to Switch Launchers


  1. Go into Settings
  2. Tap on Home

  3. Tap on the Launcher you want to install
    2013-11-08 16.59.09
It’s literally just that easy to do it. If you need more help we do have a video down below to help you out, which also shows you how to uninstall them. Which we’ll be going over in a minute.

How to uninstall Launchers in KitKat

  1. Go into Settings
  2. Tap on Home
  3. Tap on the trash can icon next to the launcher
  4. Confirm you want to Uninstall
  5. and Voila!
So it’s not a huge change in KitKat but it’s definitely something I like to see. Something that makes it easier for those that aren’t as techy as the rest of us, to change launchers. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t want to help out my parents change the launcher on their phone.
This is just the beginning of our KitKat coverage. We’ve got plenty more coming, so make sure you stay tuned!

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
