APUS Launcher holds the top position among Android third party launchers. Along with the Icon pack support it has built with some handy and useful features including APUS Mobile Search, APUS Radar, Smart Folder, Priority Apps, APUS Boost, etc.

Recently I tried APUS Launcher in my GS3 but, it wouldnt help me to keep using it even the mentioned features are available. When I try to uninstall the APUS Launcher It couldnt. In app manager Uninstall button was disabled. Then I noticed that I was activated the APUS in device administrators list to enable double tap screen lock. So deactivating the same will do the trick.

Follow the complete steps below.

Deactivate Apus Launcher in Device administrators

1. Go to Setting -> Security -> Device administrators
2. Tap on APUS and click Deactivate.
Or
1. Go to Setting -> Privacy -> Device administration -> Device administrators
2. Tap on APUS and click Deactivate.

Uninstall Apus Launcher

1. Go to Application Manager
2. Click on Apus Icon
3. In Apus App info page tap Clear defaults.
4. Finally, Tap on Uninstall

Thats it.

Those who have not owned a Nexus 5 or any other nexus device which have stock Android 4.4 KitKat may miss the new stock features a lot. Even we are not much curious about every stock feature, the Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher and the Google Nows OK Google command feature may be in the 1st and 2nd position in our needed features list.

By following the post you can get both of them in your non nexus device too. The method works with both rooted and non rooted devices. Currently "OK Google" command will work from the Home screen only.I have tested it with Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 and it works very well.



Update:
Tested in more devices .... some of them have force close error... so while selecting launcher dont select always select just once.
