First i want to say sorry for asking such  stupid questions in time of need for updates to fix problems, but here I go.

Can someone tell me the name of the default Launcher we are using?  I can't seem to find it anywhere.  For me it's called Launcher but is there another name?

Second I see there are 4 wallpapers to change the background, but is there a way to add more?  I downloaded a wallpaper app but the background did not change.

Beelink.........low on the list due to peoples problems, a Launcher Customizer App would be cool.

Thanks everyone and hope all boxes get fixed soon.

I agree I have used different launchers and the default is the one I like the best, in fact I think it's one of the better default launchers.

Ok to change the 4 backgrounds, go to the home page and I am using a keyboard I hit the Application key on the keyboard (its the key that has a square with 3 lines in it) and 4 pictures pop up just pick the one you like. I like the blue, I was just hoping to add more cool stuff, thanks.

There are two apps that could possibly be what you are after:

Launcher 6.0.1 with package name: com.android.launcher
location: system/priv-app/Launcher2/Launcher2.apk

LightHome 1.1.1 with package name: com.netxeon.lignthome
location: /system/app/Lighthome/Lighthoome.apk

If you install another Launcher like Nova then LightHome is what pops up in the list to choose a default launcher so I think the 2nd one above is what you want.

Not sure about the wallpapers. When you change wallpapers does it actually work for the default launcher?

Nothing works for wallpapers, I set a wallpaper to home and nothing. Only the 4 default comes up as an option, I was hoping to copy/paste more images in the directory, but didn't know where to add them.

For the Launcher I also have Mini MXIII II which is the same as the GT! I added Nova so the pop up says Launcher and Nova that is it not Lighthome.

And thanks for getting back to me.

I think you have to edit the LightHome apk to get the default wallpaper/background to change.

Looks like wallpaper is named bg_white and located here: Lighthome.apk\res\drawable-mdpi-v4\

If you do change yours then please post some pics here of your success.

here's the bg_white image

Ok so what are the 4 wallpaper options that you have. Cause none of the options in Settings --> More Settings --> Display --> Wallpaper change the default wallpaper for me.

tried that and Top TVLauncher on my MX III but didn't like it. I like the default launcher I just wish the background wasn't so bright.

You've taught me something new today. Found the button on the remote, I've been using a Rii i8+ keyboard mouse combo since I got the box.

Thanks...
