When that first happened I switched to KISS Launcher. Fully search based. really simple and really fast.

Had an old, barely living phone. Tried very hard to die on sole fact it had to display icons. KISS actually made it usable once again. ^^

I always assumed the stock launcher was always running under custom launchers. Is this the case?

Hi, I've installed KISS after reading this comment and there's one thing I don't understand. Is one supposed to manually select their 'Favourites' or are they populated by KISS with use? I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere else.

You pick them yourself. Search for an app, long press and then add to favorites
