[Q] Is anyone else having issues with Launcher Pro? - Samsung Infuse 4G

I downloaded Launcher Pro to test it out today, and I simply cannot do anything. I can make a custom dock and set widgets, and that's about it. I change the number of screens, it restarts and instead of doing what I put it reverts to almost default. Oh, and custom icons are working as well. I'm on an Infuse of course, Froyo 2.2 up to the latest update Samsung released, and I'm on a stock rom (rooted.) If anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated, because it's very frustrating to pay almost $4 only to have something not work.

I've used it without any issue on rooted stock 2.2 and currently on CM7 without issue. Have you tried uninstalling the program from the application menu and download the .apk again from the Market? You might want to reboot the phone and clear the cache as well before reinstalling.

For some reason it just won't work :/ I emailed the Launcher Pro team in hopes of getting a refund. Wish me luck.

For some reason lately it's been just crashing as soon as my phone turns on so I have to restart a few times to even use my phone... And it hasn't even updated! I don't get it.

(Rom) EVOlutionV9 and EVOlutionX2 -updated

EVOLUTIONX2
UPDATE-EVOX2
Alright this is just an updated X. i had alot of ideas in mind but i cant get them to function properly. Just as many updates in the V series were small, they led to bigger things. with source and everything this week it has been hard to stay focused on one rom. X3 will be a completely new beast. so for now pick V or X series. they work the same
END----------------------------------------------
EVOlutionX-This is a DroidX themed Froyo. its as reliable as V8 but now it has alot of motorola elements. i started Seem editing moto razrs so im going back to the beggining .
i recommend wiping everything then Flashing. IF you have V8 or Hero_overs rom, you might not HAVE to wipe because its froyo over froyo but if you experience problems, wipe then flash
This is a very visual rom. i love it so far. If you dont like it just restore your V8 or w/e. This is a new series of froyo roms so i will continue updating this with the V series.
New-Wifi-tether
sprint tv
all red
new bootscreen
new launcher
new live wallpaper
new market
new icons**
new froyo leak
wireless N
Ability to flash OC kernels
lots more!
EVOlutionX2
So enjoy it.
New Series Changlog
-EVOlutionX-Droid theme. million extras.
-EVOlutionX2- Revamped everything. much faster, smoother.
============================================================
EVOLUTION V9
Alright EVOV9 is based on FRF85B and has the Evo update applied. it fixed alot of little problems. Much more stable and smooth. This is considered very beta as the new updates kill alot of things, it was hard to get it right. 35+ test roms actually. I will be updating as problems are found. but the only things that are not fixed are mms, BTmono, cameras. everything else should work. I recommend a wipe coming from anything, but as always it may not be 100% needed coming from another froyo rom.
Please enjoy EVOlutionV9
EVOlutionV9
Quirk- some people may get no sim card inserted at google login. just click back and it will fix it. this is one of the issues i have fixed but i will address them at a later time.
I will be adding patches, one for MMS fix and another with a white taskbar incase you dont like the black one.
You must flash coming from any rom. Go to market and download TITANIUM BACKUP. click (problems?) and install busybox. after that push menu and select batch. BACKUP ALL USER APPS. when its done you will then have all your apps backed up. then install rom, rinse, repeat.
for people who dont want use this because of cameras, i posted this up and i guess people dont think about it. Nandroid backup your 2.1. after its done wipe everything, flash this rom, set up the 2.2 rom to your liking, titanium backup works on froyo, and nandroid backup this rom. nandroids are sorted by date so just remember the earlier one is 2.1. you can rename but people say it messes up sometimes. then use froyo when you dont need cameras, and just wipe dalvik and restore 2.1 when you do. thats what i do and i love it.

Recommendations- i want to include this as i know how it is just starting android rooting. when your start flashing roms, the first thing you do is look for flaws. now these little things kept me from going to roms. the biggest problem i forget is that there are apps out there that can replace the small ones.
Handcent-Ultimate msging app. i suggest you download this, go into the stock msg app and disable notifications. this will help with Voicemail issues.
Rootexplorer- you must have this. it is one amazing app
Better keyboard- the stock skin on this beats anything i have used. i recommend this app also.
Titanium backup- USE THIS AND BACKUP ALL APPS WEEKLY!!!
i will add to this as i continue. and one very very important thing, i got my htc hero in november. i didnt join XDA until january but i downloaded roms from day1. leave comments!!!! as a developer the most important thing is not how many people use your rom or how much money you make. its all about you all telling us you love our rom. theres no greater feeling than sitting down for 6 hours at a time and fixing issues and hearing thanks. so this is just something to think about thanks for the support everyone
Credits-Toast for first build!!! Without that i would be working on something else
Credits go to the the nexus forum where i got the icons
-thanks to the dev who found wireless N
-anyone i forget, i do not in any way shape or form want to take away from other developers. if i forgot you please pm me and i will include you and get you the credit you deserve.
great work, I downloading , will report back when done.
looks like fun, hopefully froyo is ported over before its official evo release
Running well.
Good work.
as stated above. please list in detail EVERY problem you find i will go threw and try to fix what can be fixed.
starting with BT. tell me what profiles do and dont work. i know a2dp doesnt but lets see about the others
thanks!
Not able to download from link.
Testing right now. I have to root with Toast. I'll report.
Nice work, getting closer to a stable froyo, will try when a get out work and report back with problems that I find.

Damn me and my impatience, tried it again and bam, it worked.
Thanks for the ROM. Here are 3 problems I am incurring:
1. Can't pair with bluetooth device.
"There was a problem pairing with LG HBM-570 because the PIN or Passkey was incorrect." The problem is, android doesn't pop up a keypad for me to type in any PIN. Then when I hit the back key, I get an error message:
"Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
2. Screen auto-rotate to landscape doesn't work at all. I tried in Messaging and the Browser. The setting Auto-rotate screen is checked under Display setting.
3. Proximity sensor doesn't work. When I'm on the phone the screen doesn't turn off automatically.
Other than that everything else seems to be running fine. The LED light goes away when I unplug, finally! I also updated the eri.xml to get rid of the roaming indicator. I will post updates as needed. Thanks

LauncherPro not staying in memory

Hi all, just got a TB and rooted it yesterday. It was one of the first things I did when I got my phone, so I can't say that this wasn't an issue beforehand, but it seems like LauncherPro isn't staying in memory. Every now and then, when I press the home screen, it will ask me whether to use HTC Sense or LauncherPro. This will keep occuring at random, even after I've checked to use LauncherPro by default. Is anyone else having this problem? Know a quick fix?
Nobody else experiencing this?
there's an option in launcherpro's general settings 'keep in memory'. have you tried that yet? are you using some sort of app-killer (like advanced task manager or ES)? is launcherpro ignored in that?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Ah, sorry, should have clarified. Yes, I have the keep in memory already checked and I am not using any sort of app killer unless there is a stock app killer that I don't know about.
ok, then. in the phone's settings menu, go to applications/manage applications, find launcherpro. is it selected to launch by default?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
No defaults set, which is why I assume the settings aren't sticking. Should I just force stop, clear data, uninstall, reinstall to see if that works? Or do you know a nifty way to set it to the default launcher.

you could do what I did, and use Titanium to remove HTC Sense from the phone. No point in having it if your going to use a different launcher.
Haven't checked yet, but is removing HTC Sense one of the safe removable apps? Were you having the same issues as I was or did you just remove it because you didn't use it?
i don't recommend uninstalling sense. i know, launcherpro is good and all, but it's still a third party software, and if something goes wrong, you're left with no launcher, and that kind of sucks... and no, i don't know any way to make it default (other that choosing from the list when it pops up). but reinstalling might help!

i am running das bamf and removed every bit of sense I could get my hands on immediatly as I like what they did with the rom but hate sense. I also installed launcher pro right away and deleted sense.
I have never had launcher pro end up at a point where I couldn't use it anyone. I did this for 2 months on my evo 4g, and will continue to do so.
Just stuck to the tried and true method of clearing data. LauncherPro seems to be sticking now. Thanks for all the replies!
Ah, spoke a little bit too soon. Doesn't seem to be sticking any longer. When I rooted, the process went very smoothly and all root apps that I have run with no problems.
I'm just wondering if there's any way that rooting may have affected LP since no other users seem to be having this problem.
Bumping this.

I have had this very same problem since day 1 with my T-Bolt, and it's driving me crazy. I have not rooted yet, so rooting has nothing to do with it... just so you know...
Like with your's, I get that nasty launcher selection popup randomly; and if I exit from any streaming app or music app, it pops up EVERYsingle time the HOME key is pressed.
It also happens with ADW in exactly the same way as LauncherPro, so I would bet it happens with any launcher that is not Sense.
What have I done to fix it?
1. I have uninstalled / re-installed LauncherPro (and ADW), with no luck.
2. Just in case it was a conflict of Google restoring what I had on my Incredible to my T-Bolt, I uninstalled every uninstallable app I could, and then waited over night for Google to do it's backup ( to create a blank backup), and then did a hard reset the next morning, with no luck.
3. In Settings>Privacy, I unchecked the "Back Up My Settings" box and discovered that a window pops up that says, "Are you sure you want to stop backing up your settings and application data AND ERASE ALL COPIES ON GOOGLE SERVERS?" When I saw that, I saw no need to do the overnight thing and did this repeatedly with hard resets - all this WITH NO LUCK.
4. As a last resort, I took my T-Bolt back to Best Buy (thinking that maybe something went wrong in the provisioning process during activation), and they reactivated my T-Bolt with a new SIM card. Once again, NO LUCK.
I don't know what the heck is going on with it. Maybe it's a rogue app that's conflicting with the T-Bolt. I don't know. What I do know is that there is no problem if I'm using Sense, but I don't like Sense and refuse to use it, so I'm stuck with that darned popup.
I thought that rooting and using a different ROM altogether would get rid of the problem. Have you tried flashing a different ROM?
We have got to find out what's causing this, or at least a good workaround.

Thanks for the reply. Puts my mind at ease knowing that I'm not the only one with the issue and also helps to know that you're experiencing this on an unrooted phone. I have not tried flashing any custom ROMs yet, so perhaps the people who have flashed a ROM can report back on whether LP is acting up on their phones.
I hope it's as simple as LP needing to be updated for TB.
Had this same problem myself... Download an app called HomeSmack from the market. It is free and allows you to switch between Sense and launcherpro easily. Have not had the issue since. Also I can easily switch back to my sense home screen and vice verse without a set-up every time.
Hope this helps

Yeah, I forgot to mention that neat little app - Homesmack. I like it. It's the only way I was able to actually get to LauncherPro from Sense. Without it, for me LauncherPro was simply a *download* that I could not access.
However, it did nothing to keep LauncherPro in memory. It does allow you to clear data from Sense and actually kill it momentarily; but once you get back into LauncherPro (or ADW), the problem simply repeats itself on my T-Bolt.

If I have time, I'm gonna root my T-Bolt this weekend. And then I will immediately flash a ROM - ANY ROM - to see if this works.
From what I'm gathering with regards to the T-Bolt... there are lots of bugs with this phone; however, not all T-Bolts share the same problems, and some are way more common than others. My T-Bolt is, for the most part, flawless; except for the launcher staying in memory. My wife has the headphone jack problem with hers... not everyone is experiencing that, but there are a batch of T-Bolts with faulty headphone jacks. Guess that's what we get for being early adopters. What the heck though, every other 4G phone that comes out will have flaws too. If people are expecting these phones to be fully *worked out*, they should wait and upgrade to 4G next year.
In the meantime, I've found that hitting the *back* key instead of the *home* key bypasses the launcher pop-up selector altogether. It can't be relied on completely because there are some apps you can't get out of without hitting the HOME key.
btw, my coworker has a tb and has this issue of the launcher pro constantly asking to be the default launcher. looks like if you hold the home button to switch between tasks, it clears the default launcher setting. try not using the hold home to multitask function to see if that stops this from happening.
I can verify this behaviour, and it 100% reproducible. It 'forgets' the default launcher with 2 actions:
- Pull down the status bar notification.
- Long press home to switch apps.
It doesn't happen otherwise. I use Wave Launcher, and it doesn't affect the default launcher.
This only started happening this weekend. I have to go through the apps I added recently.
I'm not rooted.
Using Zeam launcher.

has anyone had adw ex problems after the update

after the update it is screwed on my galaxy tab wtf what happened is anyone else having any problems i have switched to launcher pro for now
anyone??????????
No issues on N1
The update has been perfect for me on my N1, 2.3.4.
The scrolling speed is way faster, and everything else works as well or better than prior to the update.
thats crazy every thing was small and didnt fit right cld not fix it and ive used adw forever
Update
I couldn't figure out how it works. It deleted all my home folders, and I couldn't find a user guide anywhere. I finally did a restore to get the old one back. It looks as though he put a lot of work into it, but without instructions, it's not my idea of a game trying to figure out how to use it!
There were instructions with the update. Rather good ones i thought!
Anyway, apart from adding an unwanted Dock and Icon to my layout, (which i soon rectified), everything seems to be exactly as it was before. None of the new features do anything for me, it's just more unticked options in settings.
I hope the guys with issues mange to get to the bottom of it. If you upgraded, i would try a clean install before giving up hope.

[Q] Scrolling wallpaper freezes

I have a Rooted Droid charge running EP4P but ive had this issue since EE4
for some reason when i have a set wallpaper (a picture instead of a live Wallpaper)
the background will stop scrolling it,
i have to restart the phone and when the phone comes back on, it lets it scroll untill i see the "Media Scanning Running... (System Storage)" then it freezes again
Ive tried multiple launchers including LauncherPro (personal favorite), Gingerbread launcher free, ICS Launcher, and a Honey comb launcher, but all of them fail.
the only one that still lets it scroll is the original twLauncher and i dont like it
is there a way for me to fix it
this started happening when i installed these i don't know if its relevant or not:
Honda Logo Widgets (Uninstalled later, what piece of junk really)

Sounds like you may to do a factory data reset and reflash the rom you're using. Did you upgrade to EP4P via the OTA update or using an ODIN/CWM ROM? If you did it via OTA from EE4 then perhaps before doing the full data wipe, try reflashing the EP4P ROM via ODIN first. Sounds like something got corrupted.

thats the weird thing ive reflashed many times do to other reasons, when i had it on EE4 it froze, i reflashed to receive the ota and that fixed it for a few days, then it started to freeze again, then when the ota hit, it worked again for like 1 month and then it froze again,
later i reflashed ep4p through odin, just because i felt that my phone was getting too boring and i wanted to start from scratch, and it worked again but then it froze after about 2 or 3 weeks, now running tweakstock rom and still same issue

Go Launcher natively supports scrolling wallpapers, though I don't know what is causing the initial problem... I'm tempted to say its a rom issue like mentioned above as I have no problems with this

Can't get widgets on home screen

Hi All, Help needed. My Sensation XE phone updated to ICS a few days ago, stock unrooted. Since the update I can't add any widgets to the home screen, and have difficulty adding Apps too .
If I long hold on home screen space, I can choose an App or widget but once selected I get thrown out to the centre home screen without success (even if I was on a different screen).
I am able to pin an App from the App drawer route, but can't get widgets from any method. Existing widgets work fine, but can't add any new ones, not even HTC ones.
I raised a support query with HTC, they said it is a "software glitch", and to do a factory reset. I really don't want to do this, I don't want to go through setting everything up again. And as I'm NOT rooted will lose App and game data. As I have a stock unrooted phone I'm not even convinced a reset will solve the problem.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this or a work around?
1) Root the phone. It's super easy and you'll end up with the ability to back up all your stuff.
but if that's not for you...
2) Get a different launcher. (ADW is nice. Go Launcher is popular. Both are available on the market. Both are free.)
You'd have to reset up your home screens, but all of your data and system settings could be uneffected. And I'd bet that your problem goes away with a new launcher.
I may be forced to root, but not ready to go down that road yet. I like the simplicity and security of stock. And if things are going wrong with a stock phone I don't really want to venture into more complexity.
I may try another launcher but again I actually like Sense UI.
I thought there could be a service or program I could restart that would solve my problem. I get the feeling HTC customer service just get everyone to reset at the first sign of trouble.

There's a very good reason that you get that feeling
Factory resetting will fix 99% of software issues that the average dolt causes by doing something goofy. So they recommend it as the go to solution.
Try this.
Go to the settings. Select apps, then "All" instead of 'downloaded'. Find the launcher and clear the settings. If it works it'll clear off all your home screens. But it should reset the application so it'll work like the first day. You won't lose data or anything, just the placement of your icons. I don't know if it'll work without root though.
As for rooting, you can root the phone and keep the stock ROM. You don't have to change anything or install different ROM's. You'd just have the ability to tweak more of the stock ROM if you needed to, and the ability to fix more problems that you're locked out of now .
And there's a chance that wiping the dalvik and cache once you're rooted would fix the problem you're having with the launcher if the 'clear settings' option doesn't work.
hey, 1. confirm that your ROM originally includes those widgets...
2. go to setting-apps-all-htc sense-clean cache-reboot...
Thanks for your help guys. I found the problem which was a troublesome app that worked fine under gingerbread, but not happy with ics. Quickest. Removed it and problem went away.
Issue resolved - uninstalling certain applications was the solution!

While I tried almost all the solutions mentioned above, this solution worked for me. I removed all the previously installed applications, that were installed before moving over ICS. Somehow, I couldn't narrow down to the exact application that was causing the problem.
Uninstalling these applications resolved the issue and now I am able to add widgets to HomeScreen.
Thank you very much all of you for your help and suggestions.
