If BIG Launcher doesn't automatically become your default home screen after installation, you can easily set it manually through your phone's system settings.

Note: Android interface elements and names can vary slightly between phone models and Android versions. The steps below describe a general process; your screen may look slightly different, especially if the video reflects an older Android version.

Step-by-step Guide:

  1. Access System Settings: Pull down the notification bar from the top of your screen and tap the gear icon (Settings).
  2. Navigate to Apps: In the System Settings, find and select "Apps" (it might also be called "Applications" or "App Management").
  3. Open Advanced App Settings: On the "Apps" screen, look for a three-dot menu icon, usually in the top right corner. Tap it to reveal advanced options.
  4. Select Default Apps: From the advanced menu, choose "Default apps" (or "Default applications").
  5. Choose Home Screen App: On the "Default apps" screen, find and tap "Home screen" (or "Launcher").
  6. Set BIG Launcher: From the list of available launchers, select "BIG Launcher" to make it your default home screen.

BIG Launcher should now be active as your primary home screen. Enjoy its simplified interface!
