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

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

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. ^^

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.
