Same. It's fantastic.
I used the adb commands they recommend to disable the stock interface. So pressing home on the remote brings me back to Flauncher always.
Haven't seen the stock dash in years. Been great.
The only bastard thing is that when I set it up on a fire stick, the fire stick would disable wifi if the stock dash wasn't used. That thing is trash anyway, so no loss. Don't buy firesticks.
