These two issues are bugging the hell out of me.
1. I have launch Pro, ADW and of course Sense. Then i noticed the home default was reset randomly.
I then narrowed it down to the notification drop down. Everything works fine until I pull the notification down. After this if I press the Home button, I'm presented with the choice of three.
2. In Locale app, the wallpaper setting doesn't work with the HTC gallery.
At least for this I found a workaround. Installed a free 3d gallery app and set the wallpaper that way.
But the first issues is driving me bad. But I', no way using the Sense launcher.
I was just wondering if any of you guys found a workaround or no one but me cares.

Hi, I installed Launcher Pro and I see a huge potential for customization. Except I'm having one issue. No matter what I set the default home screen to, it always reverts to 2.
I can change the number of homescreens just fine. I wanted to have 5 screens with 3 being the default. No matter what though, it always reverts to 2. I tried to set the deafault to 1,3,4,5,6,7 and always it goes back to 2.
I'm running on a rooted Hero with Extremely Blue Mod with an uncapped kernal.
I was thinking maybe I had to give Launcher Pro super user privileges or something but if I can change the number of homescreens then that means it's saving changes correctly. Any help?
I just installed LauncherPro on my Nexus one (v2.2.1) and am having the same issues - Default home screen is always #2. I haven't seen anything in the LauncherPro forums about this yet so maybe I'll start a thread there.
I got it working after messing with the settings for a while. After I checked the "Home key to default screen" (was off by default) in the Behavior Settings menu, it's working just fine now. Not sure if it's a feature or a bug, but it's working now - happily.
I am sorry if this is a repeat post but, I have had to switch from using
sense on my Sensation to Launcher Pro.
Everytime I would end an application or press the home button
I would get a white background with green HTC logo and a
spinning wheel, sometimes as long as 30 seconds before sense
would reload itself....At first it didn't bother me but, yesterday it
did it during a call.
Has anyone else experienced this? or found a solution?
Any Ideas suggestions rants monologues or one sided conversations would
be appreciated..ok maybe not the last one..
Thanks
I suggest you format your phone. Back it up first and then format it. Then install it. I think you should Go Launcher IMO. I use it and it's really good.
Did you make sure go into Application settings and clear the default on HTC Sense then set Launcher Pro as the default launcher?
I use ADW EX btw
It appears to run better now that I have LP as the home launcher.
Just a shame because I like the sense interface.
I used some themes for sense that I downloaded and it did the same thing. It did not like those themes. After uninstalling them and a few reboots, everything is back to normal. Have you used different themes?
Yes, I have... I'll attempt to put it back on the original theme that came
with the phone and reboot..See if that takes care of it.
Thanks
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...

I'm glad you didn't leave a bad review...I love ADW...
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.

Nearly every time I exit an app, then home screen has to re-draw itself. It just seems very laggy, and I'm not sure what I'm doing to cause this behavior. The worst culprits seem to be my beautiful widgets home clock and my astrid tasks widgets. They take a good second or two before they're re-loaded into the home screen. Is this just an example of TW being terrible? Are others having this problem?
Thanks!
I notice the same thing and I'm not using those widgets. It's kind of sad some of these issues that have plauged android/Samsung since the S1 still exist.
That tends to happen after I am done texting someone, and then hit the home key. The only thing that redraws is the TouchWiz weather widget. Kinda sucks but I imagine another launcher would help.

I notice it after texting also. Especially if I hit the home key while the status of the text is still 'sending'. Very annoying, and kind of frustrating considering the specs of this phone. I can't imagine why the launcher can't be kept in memory, considering there's two gigs of ram on this thing. I guess I'll try moving to a different launcher.
I found that all touchwiz widgets suffer from this (weather, clock, calendar). The problem went away after I installed 3rd party widgets to replace those. I also installed Nova Launcher and I noticed in Nova, the stock calendar widget would still do the annoying refresh.
Stock bloated roms will cause this. Move to synergyRom and the redraws will be gone. FOR-EVER
VERIZON GALAXY S 3
I'm using Apex and have not had a single redraw. I'm mostly stock but rooted with a lot of apps frozen or removed.
One issue I do have is with an app called Agenda Widget; it doesn't redraw but occasionally when I return to the home screen it reloads my appointments. It literally takes a fraction of a second but even that annoys me. It's not a redraw because I can see the widget but it says "loading" where my appointments should be.
I used Apex for a long time & recently switched to Nova, both of these can be kept in memory which totally eliminates the redraw problem.
Hi all,
I've had a strange experience recently where at least once or twice a day whenever I close an app the phone defaults to stock launcher rather than Nova ( Nova is selected as default launcher)
I then have to manually go into settings and reselect Nova as default launcher.
Anyone having this issue or have any idea how to fix?
Thanks.
Me. mAny many many and many times. I give up of using nova launcher and I am using the horrible native launcher. Completely annoyed.
I am using nova for the past week. The only time I had this issue was when I tried to add a widget that is specific to the native launcher. I supposed you have added the launcher to ignore optimization?
I've got the same problem. Do you have the MHA-AL00? On the AL00 I definitely have this problem, but I don't remember having this problem on the L29. Yesterday, I set it for Nova to ignore battery optimizations, and it's been okay since then, though. Not sure how much that matters.
Edit: Literally ten seconds after typing this message, my phone went back to default launcher, so that's not how it's solved unfortunately.
There is a Nova setting called "Agressive Desktop". Enabling it seems to have fixed the issue.
A day later: Confirming that it works!!
===
This is Chinese model MHA-AL00
I've selected the aggressive desktop option...Will see what happens. I think this is specific to the Chinese ROM ( my handset is Chinese )
As an aside I dont see an option for a daydream clock in my ROM?
Smart Launcher here, no probs!
Didn't work for me. Still switches back despite enabling aggressive desktop.
There is one thing you can try, and that is to lock it in the recent apps list. Nova launcher settings won't show up if you are currently using the launcher. So set the default launcher to Huawei Home first. Then open Nova launcher and goto nova settings.
Press the home button, which should take you back to Huawei Home. Press recent apps. Nova settings should now show up in the recent apps. Press the little lock icon and lock it.
Not sure if it will work for you. So far it is okay for me.
Have tried the recent app lock mate... Thanks for the tip!
I just find all the Chinese android versions have super aggressive app kill properties, even after you go through all the optimisation and turning it off it still does it. The final jigsaw always seem to be locking the app into memory in the recent apps list. I had a xiaomi previously and that phone used to kill things even locked in recent apps -.-
Also was using the phone with Assistance & voice input setting changed to launcher 3 and trusted agent set to Smart Lock (Google). Today Smart Lock randomly popped up with my home address.
So right now I also have it auto unlocked while at home (not via bluetooth only). Now the problem is I cannot access the setting again
I agree. I did stop buying their phones for this reason but couldn't resist the mate 9
Hmmm... This was an issue that really bugged me, but it works now. Nova stays as default, and it's solid. Besides the Aggressive Desktop, I gave Nova all the possible permissions, so re-check that.
Tried aggressive desktop as well as locking in recent but nothing seems to work. Any other ideas?
