Last night I was manually updating 4 apps from Google Play and after the 4th updated my Note restarted itself. When it came back to the homescreen it was with a clean install of Go Launcher Ex; 4x4 icons, requests to download Go widgets and none of my icons, folders or widgets to be seen anywhere. Majorly pi$$ed off with it, so much so that I'm back to using TW at the moment. I can't for the life of me remember what the last update before the reboot was but I do know there was a Go Launcher update ready to download after that. Anybody else have this issue, or did I just get 'lucky'?

Never faced such issue. But why not use something called "back up", it is exactly for moments like these!

You're absolutely right and it's my bad that I didn't. Still hacked off that it happened though.
Something like this happened to me. The Note restarted on "safe mode". I could read it on the bottom of the screen, a bit transparent so it could be there and you don't see it properly. On safe mode almost all apps that aren't stock are disabled. I had to restart the phone 2 or 3 times in a row to reboot in the normal mode.
When it happened to me I thought that it was a factory reset
Hope this is your case

I empathize. You don't even have a Titanium back up or something like that? You could restore system settings from that. Just in case. And high time you start having back ups now .

Yep, lesson learned. Always backed up my previous devices but got sloppy with the Note. Starting again today. Empathy appreciated.
only ever had that happen on my old hd2 when go launcher crashed
Go Launcher has now been reinstalled, reconfigured and backed up to the sd card. I best get on and do some work now.

I have a problem even with ADW Launcher EX - lags when you have 3 screens of widgets... Go Launcher isn't my favourite launcher, but has less lags than ADW... I dont know, which launcher shall I use...
Today, I tried SPB Shell - very smooth, fast, no lags and nice - but I don't think it is worth it's price
Problem with last update
Since the last update I cannot use Preferences: the screen shows up one second, then back to the home screen.
Also, some widgets settings do not show up, and I cannot add applications to home screens.
why if i use go launcher ex (active), can't find S-Planner widget in the widget list in home screen, does anyone know?
it works well with TW launcher, widget looks like hidden in go launcher
I think S-planner become one most important app here

I think I read somewhere that the S Planner widget shares some components with the TouchWiz launcher; hence it won't work with 3rd party launchers.

I installed Launcher Pro. I read that you can switch between launchers with a selection. I thought you could do it by press on screen, like when adding a widget, and it would be there. But it isn't.
I have searched through the settings, and can't seem to find it.
Any thoughts?

download home switcher from the market or go here

I dont have an android phone yet so someone correct me if i'm wrong ^^
You can download HomeSwitcher from the Market
Without a switcher, you can go into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/LauncherPro/Reset Defaults. Then next time you hit the Home button, it'll ask you again which one you want and if you want to set one as default again.

Long press on the icon and you can change the shortcut options (which app to use, which icon to use, etc)
Whats the app need to be for the phone...
If I select "Phone" application... it doesnt' quite operate like the stock launcher...
When on a phone, the stock launcher when you click on the phone icon, goes to the dialer/call information... when you launch the phone application, it goes to the keypad but not the current call window...
you can get to the current call window by going to the status screen adn clicking on the little green phone during an active call though...
any ideas?

Wasted 2 hours of my life dealing with your stupidity.
heres the solution (problem was launcher pro):
1. grab the homeswitcher from market
2. set touchwiz crap as default.
3. reboot phone.
from then on, kies acts normally, phone gets detected normally etc etc etc.
thanks for wasting my time samsung.
edit: even after this i had probs, seems i need to reboot phone everytime i need to connect it. on first connect after fresh reboot it seems to work. goodluck. (very very very poor software as expected from samsung)

What's the action to execute TWlauncher ? (I mean the TouchWiz app-drawer)
I would mixup LauncherPro homes with TW horizontally scrolling apps
I wonder if there's a way to strip out the touchjizz widgets and use them in launcher pro or something, or make them available for any launcher replacement. I actually like the calendar clock widget.
I'll try picking touchjizz apart tomorrow at work if I get some extra time.

1.3 and above is what you're looking for. Previous versions doesn't have support for high density screens so the 5 icon dock will be squished in the center, 1.3 addresses this.
I've tryed all the transition animations and *curve* is the best non lag one out of the bunch. No matter how many widgets it just wont slow the butter smooth scrolling.

If the icon at the top left is bugging you? ask the developer! contacted them about various issues over the months and they always reply.
i installed adw ex 1.3.2 but cannot set it as default launcher. After installation when i hit the home icon there is no popup to let me choose launcher seems like it is not registered as a launcher..... i am not rooted......firmware is .13..... do i need to root to replace the stock launcher?
Experts please advise.

Don't think its possible to just get rid of it. It looks like honeycomb places the app icon on the corner for some apps. The only way I can think of is to unpack the apk, put in a transparent icon, or change how it looks. Either way you do it though will reflect in the drawer also. Since this is a launcher though and it auto launches it might not matter that it will be an invisible icon. If it bothered me enough then I could just hide the app i guess.

[Q] ADW EX - Wallpaper shifting
Does anyone know how to stop the wallpaper from shifting? It seems to happen after turning off the screen or coming out of an app. It's driving me up the wall. I even downloaded some 2560x1600 wallpapers that people suggested to use and it still happens.
And on a side note selecting the option for the wallpaper to scroll doesn't do anything (in ADWsettings).
I love the ability to resize widgets but this wallpaper problem is making me go crazy

Not sure if that's related but when I installed GoLauncher my wallpaper also shifted. Even after uninstall and reboot it was still messed up. I had to select a different wallpaper and then select the old one again; then it was fixed. It seems that the 3rd party launcher don't work well with HC yet.
i found that if i turn off locking the screen orientation (i rarely ever use portrait mode) and changing the orientation the background resets itself. but it is still rather annoying having to tilt it portrait and tilt it back.
no one else has this problem?
The same thing happened to me when I tried to use "Wallpaper Wizardrii"...until I uninstalled, then switched wallpaper...I'd get the weird shift after every reorientation....like the wp was resizing each time.
I was having major issues with wallpapers in adw ex, ended up using multi wallpaper live wallpaper to solve this, it can show a single image or a slide show.
I think the adw dev just got a honeycomb tablet so hopefully it will be fixed.

That not the right size dimensions so it won't work if you want something that big try 2560x2035 or smaller 1610x1280
All my installed wallpapers are the latter and i never have any issues.
I just started using ADW EX, and whenever I try to resize any widgets, the screen seems to freeze. That is, I can still resize the widge, but I can't deselect it, or select anything else on the screen -- including app icons, which stop functioning. I have to kill the app and relaunch to get it to respond again.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
ADW is certainly feature-rich, but it is crying for some documentation, which I can't seem to find.

My Nexus S (i9020a) is running on Jelly Bean, and after recently uninstalling the beta of Apex Launcher and then reinstalling the stable version, I noticed that my Power Control widget was gone.
After I noticed that, I uninstalled Apex Launcher completely (cleared data for the app first to be sure). Still, the Power Control widget was no longer available on my phone.
For the time being, I have downloaded a third-party equivalent off of the Play Store, but I'd really like to know what happened here. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, is there any way to get it back?

Nope. That's a third-party app. The stock Power Controls Widget is nowhere to be found in the app store.
Hi
I'm on the Nexus 7 and have noticed exactly the same thing. This is the stock Android Power Control Widget. It was there with stock launcher and also with Nova Beta, but with Apex, its nowhere to be found.
This just happened on my GNex as well. I figure we're suffering the same issue. Mine vanished after trying out a few 3rd party ones strangely enough. I haven't found anything yet to fix it. Rebooting after an uninstall didn't help either. Any ideas, peeps?

No, no longer in the list (for me anyway).
Hi,
Just my 2 cents.... I'm not sure About JB but all other ROMs the app had to be on the phones memory for the widget to even be available or on the widget list.... so perhaps whichever file the power control is in, maybe it got switched over to SD card
Or
An App that was installed moved the files that are needed for that power control widget.
I know its a stab in the dark but ...
Good luck

Go launcher ex
Replace your launcher with GO LAUNCHER EX, free on the Play Store. It is the BEST launcher by FAR. Super fast, tons of options, always free.
Thanks but no thanks
Did a factory reset and Power Control widget is back (on stock launcher), stock N7 JB.
I figured that's what I would have to do to get it back. Thanks for reporting back with a fix .

Anyone else using ADW EX launcher's custom shortcuts? I'd been using them successfully until recently. This is what I do: I create a Custom Shortcut, assign a Launcher Action to it (assigning each app drawer category to a custom shortcut), and then assigning an icon from the BigDX Serenity theme. Then I drag the custom shortcut to my dock, and I have all of my apps sorted in categories, easily accessible from my dock. And because I've used an icon for each, that represents that particular app category, I quickly know which dock icon contains which apps.
But now, the custom icons won't stick. They keep reverting to a generic icon after a reboot or after I use Titanium Backup or just about anything. I suspect this has something to do with being rooted, as my husband's Note doesn't do this. He's not rooted.
Needless to say, this is annoying, as I can't remember which icon contains which apps. They all look the same! And I have 11 of them.
Anyone else experience this? I emailed the developer, but have received no response.
EDIT: This seems to only happen when the Custom Shortcut is for a Launcher Action. The icons don't revert to generic if my Custom Shortcut is for an Application.
So, 108 views and no one's experienced this issue? Anyone know of a better way to contact the developer? I've emailed twice, with no reponse.
This problem, while not critical, is extremely annoying.

i don't think it has anything to do with being rooted... i think the problem is on adw launcher..
why don't you try clearing adw launcher's data and and see what happens.... adw has backup
feature right?.. back your preferences then clear data on settings/app manager/adw launcher
let's start on that.....
and i saw on playstore that this bigdx theme is a separate download and not from adw...
so you might wanna clear data on bigdx too.. i think that'll solve your problem..
it's not a system issue anyways... so it's either adw or bigdx theme...
or maybe you are using some kind of task manager that kills your bigdx theme on background......

Okay, so I did this:
1. Backed up ADW.
2. Cleared data.
3. Restored ADW.
4. Assigned a custom icon to one of my dock shortcuts.
5. Restart ADW (this typically wipes out my custom icons, as does a reboot)
6. Custom icon is back to generic.
Can't clear date or cache on theme, as those options are greyed out.
Thanks for your suggestions, but still no luck.

hhmm.. try clearing your data again but don't restore your preferences.. set them all over again.. if it still ends up the same try using a different theme (free ones so you dont have to spend) ..
and if it works then the problem is in your bigdx theme... i hope it helps i don't use adw but most app problems are fixed by clearing data..

Okay, I keep reading that this developer and that developer is really responsive. But I've emailed the ADW developer twice and the BigDX developer, and neither has ever gotten back to me. I've been very cordial and complimentary, and included my issues/question. Nothing.

Hey guys, this just started happening in the last few days and it's driving me batty...
I have widgets that will randomly disappear... or appear in the wrong place...
For example, sometimes on rebooting, Fancy Widgets will not load... or two will load on top of each other...
For another example, my music player widget (4x2) will appear all scrunched into a 2x1 spot where my bluetooth widget is supposed to be.
Or... no widgets will load at all... and I'll have to re-add them to the desktop.
It's all very strange and annoying.
Anyone have an idea of what's going on here? I didn't even know how to search for this...
I've just had it happen to a few widgets in the last few days on my Nova Launcher on SlimBean v4. After removing the problematic widgets and putting them back, all was well again...
Whenever things get wacky the first thing to do is reboot recovery and fix perms. Then wipe cache/dalvik and reboot. Let the phone sit for a bit to rebuild davlik. Then use your phone.
By any chance are you using link2sd? Or putting the widgets on your sdcard? That causes issues as well

When I had it happen, it just decided that the Google Music widget was on page 4 instead of page 1, even though it still visually displayed on page 1. I couldn't click on any of the items in the bottom row of page 4... so I long-held on the bottom of page 4, removed the invisible widget, and replaced it on page 1 from where it had disappeared.
I expect that to be a Nova Launcher glitch not a JB or ICS issue though.

Whenever things get wacky the first thing to do is reboot recovery and fix perms. Then wipe cache/dalvik and reboot. Let the phone sit for a bit to rebuild davlik. Then use your phone.

Okay, just tried it. Let's see how it goes! Thanks.

By any chance are you using link2sd? Or putting the widgets on your sdcard? That causes issues as well

Don't know what link2sd is. The Widgets are wherever the phone saved them when I DLed them.

I've had that happen as well and concluded it is a launcher issue. Happened frequently on Go Launcher. Has not happened at all on Apex.
Interesting. I'm running ADW EX. Been fine for a dang year... just started doing this and I don't think it's updated recently...
Also - no joy on the davlik wipe / fix permissions. I still have a scrunched MIUI music widget where my bluetooth widget should be.
