Adw launcher flashes repeatedly when restarted - T-Mobile LG G2x

When restart adw launcher or switch from wifi with airplane mode to 4g, adw launcher will load the icons then flash back to blank home screen, then repeat itself a bunch of times before finally stopping then everythong will be fine
Ive tried reinstallng adw launcher ex but still no success. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I use ADW and haven't seen what you're describing. I'd guess there's a conflict with an app you have loaded.

I have also done a factory reset before and this still happens

I use ADW too and haven't seen this behavior. I just spent ten minutes trying to duplicate what you described with no "luck". I agree with Barry...probably an app conflict. Maybe try uninstalling one by one (might start with apps that use internet) and test to see if the problem simply goes away. IDK?

No issue here on ADW EX

Why isn't Beautiful Widgets refreshing?

The only way i can get it to refresh the time is if lock then unlock my phone...it wont reload if my phone stays on. Does anyone know a cure to this/know the reason why?

taking a guess.. u using launcher pro? if so force close it and then restart it launcher pro that is... after that it should work
Wow, I am...i take it this is a common launcher pro problem?
I went to the launcher pro Menu, and hit restart...but the problem still persists :/

Beauitful Widget
I am having the same issue but with the weather. I have launcher pro and also Beauitful Widget and my weather never updates at all, Why is this
Okay, I Turned off my phone and then back on and now it's working fine. For anyone else having this possibly, maybe try that?
Having the same issue with adw.launcher.
Rooted with toasts method running DC3.2.3 and rotary lock screen. I flashed the vanilla lock screen last night and haven't had the problem since. I've played with all of the settings in adw and nothing helped, and I haven't been able to find a way to reproduce it manually either.

UPDATE: Since swapping lock screens last night I haven't had widgets freeze once. Anyone else using the rotary lock?

Widget Issues

I am and have been running Vegan 5.1.1 since day one with no issues other than the little quirks that have been discussed here. Anyway, lately when I load widgets all seems fine until I power down and then back up. The widget is just black and says "problem loading widget". I remove them and add again and all is well until I power down and back up again. Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Funny thing: a couple of days ago I started having the same problem, running TnT-lite 4.2.5.
Been busy over the weekend and didn't pick up my tab again until this evening, turned it on and experiencing it again; searching around in the forums for a fix.
Interesting. Most of other Android users get this after they move or install certain apps to SD, but on our tablet that option is non issue.
Will try clearing Dalvik-cache in CWM .8 and wipe cache see if that helps.

Just rebooted 3 times, without clearing anything and Widgets load fine. Hmmm.
What launcher?
Happens to me one in about every 30 starts. Gotten used to it so I just delete and reload widgets. Takes 30 secs. Think it might have something to do with when launcher starts in load sequence.
I've rarely seen this on ADW (both my DX and Tab). I just go into ADW settings and restart ADW.
I use Zeam as default, have LauncherPro and ADW installed.

[Q] ADW EX Help

I got ADW EX since it is 10 cents today and I don't know how to make it my default. My Xoom is not rooted and running 3.2.1.
After I install ADW EX and press the home key nothing happens. The screen just gets dark, going to neither launchers. I go into Applications and the option to clear defaults for both stock/ADW EX are not highlighted/doable. They are blacked out. I can only clear data on both of them. I installed Launcher Switcher and it says no default set but it won't let me pick either launcher. I then installed Home Switcher and it again said no defaults set but this time I was able to pick ADW EX as my default. BUT, even after doing that, after I press the home key it goes nowhere again, nothing happens, dark screen.
I restarted my Xoom and after boot animation the screen was black, I could only see the bottom bar where the back/home/windows and time are. Neither stock or ADW EX was launched after I restarted. I had to go into Settings, Applications and open ADW EX to get it to come up. I then uninstalled ADW EX and pressed the home key which brought up the stock launcher. Hunky dory. I reinstalled and the same problems happened.
I searched the forums and looked online but I don't know what to do. I can manually go back and forth between launchers but that's not what I want... I just want ADW EX to work when I press the home key! I suck lol. Could someone please help me? Thank you in advance!
There may be two different issues in play, but if you are stuck with the stock launcher as default, go into settings, apps, choose the stock launcher and on the bottom of the page you should be able to uncheck default. Then if you have ADW installed, you should get the dialog box to choose the default launcher. If the screen dims and does nothing, just rotate your Xoom (i.e. landscape to portrait) and the dialog box should popup.
It could be related to another App you have installed. I did a Google search and some one else had a similar problem on an Incredible 2 where they couldn't set a launcher and it turned out to be a keyboard app causing issues.
I have a similar problem too. After installing the adw launcher I can no longer open links or office documents, or execute any other commands that require a selection via a dialog box. I tried uninstalling the launcher app, but that only fixes the home button not the other things. I already tried resetting all the defaults using the several apps in the market, but that doesn't worked. any help would be greatly appreciated.
whenever I click on an internet link or try to open an office document that I downloaded the screen dims down as it would whenever a dialog box appears except no box shows up.

Enable Autorotate and rotate your Xoom when the screen dims. It's a Honeycomb bug.

thank you. It worked like a charm. I feel bad for blaming the adw launcher for this issue, I was about to leave a bad review...

Ouch! If only I had read this yesterday before I wiped my Xoom and tried to reload all my launchers, only to find the problem still existed. :-(
The auto rotate worked like a charm.
Geesh.

try two things..
clear the app data/cache for go launcher ex, then start fresh with the launcher. if that doesnt help, try your phone without go launcher ex. uninstall it.
Try rooting it and keep it stock if u want just flash a better kernel.

Problem with ICS launcher

Hi guys!
I´ve just updated my TF101 to ICS and it´s really fast. But I have a problem with the laucher. Some times, when touch the home button to go to the homescreen, the laucher and all the icons desappear.
I can´t go to the apps that are open (with the multi-task button) but the launcher doesn´t appear.
The only solution I know is shuting down the Tf101 or closing the laucher app, but it is quite boring to do ir every 5 or 10 min.
Does it happen to anyone here?
Happens to me as well.

Same here... needs re-boot to recover...
I only had that if the option to kill tasks as u exit them was checked on. Its under developer options towards the bottom.
Edit: actually that's only the case on my phone. I have the option checked on my tablet and it works just fine.

Ok thanks for all I´ll re-boot it, but will I lose all my apps? I´ve never done a hard reset.
Everything that wasn't stock on the tablet will have to be reinstalled.

same here but may be able to narrow it down.
I am having the same problem. The whole screen just displays the wallpaper and removes any icons or buttons. So I can pan sideways and can sometime know what I am clicking on by memory but all icons go until I reboot.
weird thing is.... I have done a factory reset. reloaded my apps and settings. Its all working fine until I pop the Gmail and Calendar widgets on the screen, then boom. Gone again.
At the moment I am running without any widgets and I have not had a repeat. Do any of you clever clogs have any ideas on this one. Seems to be a small percentage of users with the issue.
Same...
I had the same problem however it seems to have stopped now. Perhaps as a result of my app purge that i did the other day.
Anyway for those still having this problem i suggest you use the notification bar to access the settings then from there you can go to the Launcher under apps and do a force close. after a bit it will reopen again with all screen icons and widgets back.
Guys I think this is the same issue, it happens on my tf.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519943
yep
Happens to me too,
I managed to fix it the latest time without rebooting, by going into settings, running apps and stopping the launcher and anything google. Next time this happen I will make a note of which killed process gives me my app icons back.
also its strange that even with the app icons gone, you can still click around the screen and open things, as if they were there.
same ...
same problem on my tf101
I fixed this by clearing the data for the Launcher in settings. Hasn't happened since but annoying as it meant rebuilding my homescreens :-(

you should try Nova Launcher, it looks and acts like the default launcher in ICS. But with a couple functions added. I havent had any troubles with it.
Just search it in the market. to get the widgets to work just move it to /system/app
I installed ICS on mine at the weekend. For a couple of days it reasonably stable, though certain apps lagged somewhat. Then it got much, much worse. There's a recurrent problem with the launcher. If you've gone away from it, such as to use an app, and then return, firstly the widgets and stacked/grouped app icons vanish, then all the rest of the icons vanish, and the three squares on the top right of the screen. The icons are still there, as it's possible to stab on the screen in the right place and launch the app that the invisible icon links to. All five screens of the launcher have vanished. The tablet still runs, as the live wallpaper still runs, and the recent apps are accessible.
Other problems include major freezes or lags. It's common to go to launch email or the web browser only to have to wait 20 seconds or so before anything happens. I've had to wait 5 minutes before now for Opera to launch. Eventually the tablet will freeze and I have to reboot it, but even then, apps take an age to launch, and regularly freeze. It's getting to the point of being totally unusable. It's taken many, many attempts to write this email as the app crashes of its own accord, and perish the thought that I copy and paste any text in, including the email address - it's enough to crash the email app.
My TF101 ran Android 3.2 perfectly fine, and very, very quickly. It was gloriously stable. I can't get more than 2 hours of use out of this without having to reboot; this afternoon I've been having to reboot every 10 minutes.
I've drawn Asus' attention to these problems via Twitter and Google+, and I know they've been told about it on Facebook, but there's been a wall of silence.

I had the problem with a disappearing launcher on ICS on 4 different launchers. Recently I removed a few widgets (NewsRepublic, Bacon Reader, and DroidWidget) and haven't had the problem reoccur. Maybe some widget incompatibility is to blame?

Could be. Mine's more stable (touch wood) since I got rid of both Beautiful Widgets widgets off my home screen.
Guys I´ve finally done a hard reset on my tf and all goes fine.
Thanks for all
Same problem here with the stock ICS launcher. Using ADW Launcher EX without problems.
Some apps seems to be running super fast at times and then others super slow at times with ICS. Guess I'll do a Titanium backup and factory reset and see if that helps. ugh...
