 Long press on a blank space on the launcher window, the tap the Menu icon. Select Backup center, tap + then tap New backup. You will see something like “backup_123456” in the title field, leave this as it is, but tap in front of the word “backup”. Here you can write anything you like so as an example we will name it “My New Table 01”. You cannot use spaces in between the words, so you need to use underscores so it will look like this… My_New_Table_01_backup_123456. When you have done this, tap OK, let it do it’s thing then you should get a “Backup successful” message. Now you can back out of the backup center. To set the launcher as your default launcher, tap the Menu icon then the Default option and choose Total Launcher as the launcher default. You can also do this in the android “Settings” then Apps > scroll to and tap Total Launcher > Advanced > Home App > then select Total Launcher. Have a good play with the launcher to find out what it can do, and make regular backups. If you mess anything up that you cannot fix or would take a lot of work, go to the backup center and choose the last good backup you made and carry on from there. ... Long press on a blank space on the launcher window, the tap the Menu icon.
