If the operating system runs out of memory when a game is running it will kill ES-DE even if it's set as home app. If this happens ES-DE will reload whenever you return from the game or if you press the home button. This is simply how Android works.

Also be aware that the version check that runs on app startup may not be able to complete successfully when ES-DE is set as the home app, as the device may not have network connectivity enabled yet just after rebooting.

It's generally a very good idea to import your native Android apps into ES-DE prior to setting it as the home app, this way you can easily access things like the Settings app. Note however that even if you somehow lock yourself out of the system by setting ES-DE as the home app and not having any native apps added you can still always access the Settings app via the Android notification shade. On most devices you access this by swiping down from the top of the screen. After swiping down, just select the cogwheel icon to start the Settings app. From there you can change the home app to something else than ES-DE, should you need to.

## Is it available for free, and is it open source?

The Android release specifically is not free, it's a paid app available for purchase through [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/es_de) or the [Samsung Galaxy Store](https://galaxystore.samsung.com/detail/org.es_de.frontend.galaxy). And although approximately 99% of the app is open source there are some portions of the code that is closed source.

## Can I use ES-DE on more than a single Android device or do I need to buy it multiple times?
|

You only need to buy it once, and then you can use it on all your devices. There are no subscriptions or additional costs, you just buy it once. With that said we do appreciate if you want to support the project by keeping your paid Patreon subscription.

The Samsung Galaxy Store and Huawei AppGallery releases may not be available on all your devices, but that is not an ES-DE restriction but rather governed by the availability of these app stores on your different Android devices.

## ES-DE doesn't work on my device, can I get a refund?
|
||||
|
||||
Although the overwhelming majority of people have successfully got ES-DE to run on their devices (assuming they are fulfilling the basic requirements of 64-bit Android 10 or later) there are some devices that have been problematic. Unfortunately Android is not really a standardized operating system and hardware manufacturers are sometimes applying custom patches and such which may prevent ES-DE from working correctly. We will refund everyone up to one month from the purchase date if they are unable to get ES-DE to run on their device, just send a DM on Patreon and we will issue a refund as soon as possible.

## Can I set ES-DE as my home app/launcher?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, as of version 3.0.3 there is experimental support for setting ES-DE as the home app. Read the _Running ES-DE as the Android home app_ section of the [Android documentation](ANDROID.md#running-es-de-as-the-android-home-app) for more information about this functionality. There are currently some minor glitches like sometimes needing to start ES-DE twice after switching between regular mode and home app mode, but apart from that it should hopefully work fine.
