[Feature request] Automatic launcher switch for Desktop mode functionality
Hi :) I use an (sadly) closed source alpha version of Lawnchair to make Quickstep work and don't want to loose Quickstep by switching the default launcher forever. Can you include an option for rooted users (or maybe WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS is enough) to Auto-Switch to Taskbar and back. Or is this possible already?
I'm not aware of any way to auto-switch the user's default launcher, root or otherwise, but if I do figure out a way to do this I would definitely look into adding this as an option to Taskbar.
One thing you could try is asking the maintainer of that alpha version of Lawnchair to integrate libtaskbar into their app. It's a version of Taskbar that's compiled as a library so that other launchers can natively support desktop mode. There's an example implementation of this that's based on Lawnchair that can be referenced here.
Well, with root you can do literally everything :D Maybe I find something out how to change the launcher via root, if yes, I post it here
About libtaskbar: The maintainers is the offical Lawnchair team and they release the source when that version is stable. I'm sure they will not create one or even every build with libtaskbar as they are busy enough already. :(
A quick Google search revealed this: (See the comments: No need to reboot) https://stackoverflow.com/a/46922386
I was able to change the launcher properly (changed in settings too) and on the fly with this command:
cmd package set-home-activity 'com.android.launcher3/.lineage.LineageLauncherActivity'
Yes, I'm using LineageOS ;) (Rooted 17.1)
but if I do figure out a way to do this I would definitely look into adding this as an option to Taskbar.
I'm looking forward to an option :P

I'm trying something similar with
adb shell cmd package set-home-activity farmerbb.taskbar/.ui.HomeActivity
but I'm getting
adb shell cmd package set-home-activity com.farmerbb.taskbar/com.farmerbb.taskbar.ui.HomeActivity java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Component ComponentInfo{com.farmerbb.taskbar/com.farmerbb.taskbar.ui.HomeActivity} cannot be home on user 0
The reason of this it's to be used with scrcpy script
Try changing the default user to something else than Taskbar, just to test the command. What Taskbar does is ig @farmerbb's problem :P. Did you even enable use Taskbar as default launcher in options btw?

I tried with Niagara Launcher and it works well
adb shell cmd package set-home-activity bitpit.launcher/.ui.HomeActivity
@Blakenidby For desktop mode, the correct command to use would be adb shell cmd package set-home-activity farmerbb.taskbar/.activity.HSLActivity.

I'm using Android 9. this command worked for me adb shell cmd package set-home-activity com.farmerbb.taskbar/.activity.HomeActivity.
With the previous command, I managed to do this https://youtu.be/n6CgGz_69eI
