probably not the right area to post this. post in q and a
I just put both widgets, the small and big, on my screen. I got no problems with BW.
Mines work just fine. its prob something you did wrong?
Lol the market auto installed... Its installed on market.. But when i press and hold, go to widgets.. all i see is the standard froyo ones :S
Fixed by reinstalling lol
same here only froyo widgets
maybe a reboot will show all your restored apps.
I got a notification saying all apps were restored.
Wrong Section - Move this to Q & A
Can someone move this thread?
When I turned my phone on this morning all my Widgets are gone again!!
Waiting eagerly for a cm mod of this, maybe it's cus of the SD install
It keeps putting me back to android keyboard too

Same exactly problem here, thank god I wasn't alone...... Keyboard goes back to stock on reboot and beautiful widgets gets removed from screen/menu to add it back.....Have to uninstall/reinstall.......
EDIT: Even mounting the SD card removes my Beautiful Widget.......WTF Google!!!
Maybe we need to wipe and re flash? Im pleased it isn't just me lol. All my widgets go lol
well i been playing around with it..... Firstly, I uninstalled any apps that were giving me trouble (Beautiful Widgets, HTC_IME keyboard and cachemate widget).... The I used 'pm setInstallLocation 0' to have my apps install back to the phone storage..... I can now reboot without losing my shiiiiiit!! So hope this helps some of you, course there not on 'SD' then but hey they don't alllllll need to be
Read this and you'll see which apps won't be able to install on SDcard without breaking: Install Location Details
So i guess its best to install normal apps on sd, any widget programs etc on the phone?
You have to install the app on phone memory in order to make widgets work.
Apps on SD card will not have widgets available to launcher.
Maybe it's a bug in Froyo, or technical issues can't be solve by Google (unlikely) :/
Simple fix
1)
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 0
This will set it back to factory settings, THEN reinstall beautiful widgets and every other widget that gives you problems upon reboot. This will reinstall it back on your phone
*after reinstall of widgets, or any thing else that disappear upon reboot, proceed to step 2*
2)
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 2
This will default you back to installing apps to SD card.
=====
Apparently, even when i was setup as "pm setInstallLocation 0" moving the beautiful widgets back to phone memory via "manage applications" didn't not hold up after reboot. This method i mentioned does, after numerous reboots!
Enjoy
Terminal set locations works, but you can also just select the app(s) move to phone option and reboot the apps should be moved. Works for me
Hello,
I read through most of the posts concerning custom launchers but still can't find an answer to my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S running on Froyo. I am trying to set GoLauncher as my default launcher but there seems to be a hickup somewhere.
When I hit the home button a window always pops up asking me which launcher I want to use (TW or Go) and I always tick the box underneath to use as default and then select GoLauncher but the window keeps popping up again every time I press the home key.
I also tried to clear the defaults in both TW and Go Launcher but the buttons are grayed out...so I guess the phone does not store my default choice.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem using htc desire z running froyo 2.3.. not rooted.
Have tried re installing. Tried home switcher. tried other launcher than go launcher ex. Problem still persists..
If anyone has made it work for them. Please share what to do.
Thx
Well.. for me the problem was with the 3D camera app.. for some reason it showed up on the bottom of the list of launcher.. unistalled and presto.. no constant settings launcher as default
Via HTC Desire Z
Have tried everything in this post and none have worked for very long.
I am going to try seeing if the Estrongs "Suite" is installed and causing a problem, but I definitely know this isn't a launcher problem as this happens with several different launchers...I thought it was a HTC Sense issue, but I have now seen (I think) a couple of posts from a Samsung device.
I have the Thunderbolt and since the 2.3.4 update, I have had the same problem. I have read several posts, but no real solution. The Homesmack didn't work. This Really sounds like an HTC issue, but I am still trying to read more posts.
Did you try doing a battery pull? Or going into settings and clearing the stock launchers data and cache?

Solution
I have Samsung Galaxy S2 -

I think there's also an App called "Launcher" but look for anything with the word "Launcher" in it and clear the defaults
Or try installing "Go Locker" and it'll ask you again which one you want your default to be
Guys, I don't know if that also has happened with your kindles, but there's no way to create a folder on my ADW.
No way at all!
When I was using Go launcher EX I could create folders easily, but with ADW it just doesn't work.
Someone is having the same problem? any workarounds?
No, it doesn't work (and ADW Launcher hasn't been updated in a while so I'm not sure if there is a new version in development or not). It's the same with shortcuts and custom shortcuts too. It's a pain, as I quite like folders, but I'm just sitting patiently for CM7, and then at that point, I probably won't care!
lol I just posted a similar problem with apps that use folders. Did you have this problem before the update?

Yeah, this has been a problem since day 1. Doesn't seem to be just ADW either, Go Launcher Ex has the same problem. Clearly something in the KF stock ROM that disables these things.
I also started a post about the creation of shortcuts ("Car Home") and the lack of the OS recognizing that when I click "Add shortcut" it should give me a list of applications.
I suppose this is related to the lack of being able to create folders. There has to be a way to fix this without resorting to going to CM7. I'd like to be able to keep the Amazon functionality with the vanilla OS feel.

I'm suspect it's buried deep in the kernel somewhere, and I'm not sure it would be any easy fix. I could be wrong, but bearing it mind it doesn't provide any errors, Amazon must have disabled it as part of providing their custom UI.
I'm with you though, I quite like the overall feel and coloring of the Amazon interface, and it's pretty damn functional with a Launcher enabled despite the minor issues such as this.
For some reason, when I was using Go launcher I was able to create the folders, but not shortcuts. Its really strange...
I side-loaded the ADW apk 1.3.6 but it doesn't seem to work on my Kindle. I know this is off-topic but I was hoping someone could tell me which version is best on the Kindle. Every time I go to install it and open it says the ADW.Launcher stopped unexpectedly :/
ADW 1.3.3.1 is the one I'm using

Simi Folder Widget has got you covered
true, and it works even though the market says its incompatible.
I was able to create folders in Go Launcher, but only by putting icons on top of each other. You have to be really precise though or the icons just move out of the way. Huge pain, took me a couple minutes for EACH folder I made. Haven't found a way to do this in ADW yet...
Hey Guys,
the new update for ADW solved the issue, besides ADW feels a little bit faster on my kindle.
BTW, folders can only be created by putting icons on top of each other, just like we do using Go Launcher.
In stock I used folders on my panels to organize the many apps I play with, its my first smartphone so i'm toying with all sorts of things. Recently I flashed Supreme Sense 9.1 (it pretty) and while redoing my setup I noticed an odd quirk with the folders.
I have a folder named Games
I link an app onto the panel
Then move said app to the folder
Open folder, see app, launch it
Play around a bit exit using home key
Usually i'm exiting in landscape mode
Taken to home panel, swipe over to my app panel
Folder is open, no apps showing within it
Anyone else? If they work for anyone else, i'll probably try reflashing. As a side note, is Sense 3.0 completely incapable of landscape think I read that here somewhere.
Dogan
Might try Mikshifted, read that executive is damn sexy too
Why all the extra steps . Sense 3.0 is now capable of Landscape. Apparently a Rom from the HTC Flyer Tablet has been ported over. The Executive Theme is Awesome. Only issue is that as of right now it has not been updated to work with MikShifted G v2.0 .
Yea like prboy said the HTC flyer ROM is here and it is awesome IMO. Im a flashaholic and ive stayed with it since its release to the shift

If you want to make a shortcut to something just long press on the panel in the spot you want the item. When the pop up menu comes up choose a widget for the item if avaiable. Or choose the App itself, that's it.

I get that part, I do that to get an app shortcut on the panel. Then I can move that shortcut into a folder. The reason I did this is, Should I have 6 panels full of widgets leaving 1 panel for applications. There are only, what 12 spots for application shortcuts? Now as a new guy in this wonderful world of handheld computing, I'm experimenting with all sorts of games and apps. I got a heck of a lot more than 12 and my apps list is huge making it a hassle to scroll the list. That is when I found the folder ability, where in stock I can put a folder onto the panel. I can then place the app shortcuts into this panel folder and open it... like a category.
Say I'm going to my phone to play around with some pictures I just took. I swipe over to my apps panel, click on the tools folder, choose from my selection of image editing apps that I put there. This to me is better than scrolling through 5+ pages of apps on the full list. Currently I can do all that (as I could in stock), but when I exit the application it empties the folder of app shortcuts. On top of that, the folder remains open and it seems clicking on the close folder X clicks behind it forcing me to hit a small sweet spot above the X that closes the folder on the panel. Brain screams Bug, but being new to all this thought perhaps it could be some lingering bit caused by an app data restore or bad/incomplete flash.
It seems we're not on the same panel. No worries, just thought i'd verify this seemingly odd behavior before I moved on. Thanks for taking the time and tackling all that code.
Dogan
Not ungrateful
Ok I think I'm getting what your trying to do now. Why don't you create a folder Shortcut on a panel. Then just move the app to that. That way the folder shortcut just open to a bunch of apps of you choosing. So theoretically you can have 12 Folders per panel.
Alright I think I have it figured out, but I don't know exactly why it does it because its not my ROM (I just enjoy using it). Seems to be a RAM issue, more specifically a RAM clearing/freeing system that causes it. Oddly, everytime I try to video the bug it doesn't do it or does something else entirely. Was extremely repeatable until then.
First time I tried to video it, the live wallpaper freaked out, compressed to 1/4 of the side and folder contents were retained. Second time, nothing happened and I'm not willing to take 30min of gameplay video to better test it. I don't think anyone has the time or care to test this right now, but next time you get a fresh Supreme Sense build and before you restore your backup put a large RAM intensive app on there and link a shortcut into a folder. Run the app and play for a while, pretty sure I'm doing 30 - 60min as I'm laying in bed prior to sleep. Exit app, go back to folder and the bug that I get shows up... Folder remains open, shortcuts are gone, folder is behind other shortcuts on that panel in terms of touching but on top of other shortcuts visually (I have google search bar on that panel on the top row, trying to close folder opens the voice search interface instead).
What clued me in, was juice defender's log claiming low ram and how juice defender was in danger of being killed automatically to free up ram. I'll test it out a few more times after extended play in the upcoming nights. There is a possibility that my recent install of Juice Defender solved it by denying background applications their usual access to data thus freeing up RAM.
BTW, flashed an ICS theme... Should call this combo Supreme Sexier 9.1

Ok so I have a few questions. You mentioned a Ram issue. Did you do a FULL Wipe, like the one mentioned in the link in my Sig? You also mentioned Restoring your backup. Did you mean that you restored Data with Titanium Backup, or a similar app? Because restoring Data for System Apps, and sometimes even Games. Has been known to cause issues, and glitches. Also, Juice Defender IMO causes more issues than anything else. IMO Task Killers in general are not a good idea. They usually use more memory than the save.

I did a full wipe after restoring from a nandroid backup
I followed the wipe&flash directions in the video linked in the supreme sense thread
They're a little different, only 1x each instead of 3x and without step 9 (reboot wipe cache & dalvik cache again)
Very likely it could have been while restoring with Titanium. Pretty sure that might have been what sunk Cyanomod since after a full restore via Titanium it locked up on reboot(waited 15min never got past loading screen). With SupremeSense I believe I selectively restored SMS, Contacts, App Data. Juice Defender was installed after the issue was noticed, it just gave me a log with info on what else was going on by chance. For now I think it is just me which is okay, although the backup causing issues is rather annoying.
Dogan
I need to do more app research
Do a Full Wipe according to the Guide. Then don't restore anything, drive it around for a few hours as is. See if any issues pop up. Then restore your items one by one, try not to restore any data. That way you'll be able to pinpoint the issue.

It will probably be a while before I opt to chance losing everything again. So I figure I'll just thank you for your persistent assistance now and use the more thorough flashing followed by an extended break-in period before restoring with the next ROM that catches my eye.

I just started using my first Android phone 2 days ago, so this is probably a really dumb question, but I've figured almost everything else out and this one not so intuitive.
When I'm in the home screen or the alphabetical list of all apps, if I turn the phone horizontal it won't switch to landscape. It only rotates if I open the keyboard. The settings menu and most apps auto-rotate fine, so I know the phone can sense it right., it's just the basic Android screens that won't landscape unless the keyboard is open.
I'm using CM11 from 21-OCT-2014 and the only extras I've installed are gapps, k9 mail, firefox, google translate and google wallet. The "Auto-rotate screen" box is checked, as are the "0 degrees" and "90 degrees" rotation mode boxes.

Probably depends on the launcher (home screens and app drawer is handled by launcher). Some have a setting to enable it, some don't...
I dunno if this is normal behavior, something I can change in a setting, or a bug in something, and if so what?
Not quite sure what a launcher is, but I only installed the stuff I mentioned before, so I assume my launcher is whatever comes with CM11 or Gapps.

Done, and it worked! Thanks much. Any explanation as to why editing a system file was necessary to do something that seems to me should be automatic? Will I have to do this again after updates or anything?
(Of course nothing is simple the first time; took me over an hour to do this; figured easiest way would be from terminal, but had to find the file without a whereis command, then didn't know how to hit "ESC" when trying to edit with VI since there's no ESC key on our keyboard, finally found it in a menu, then wasn't able to save cuz readonly... tried again after su but same result, considered changing permissions but since I really didn't know what I was doing, did a web search, found a tutorial for editing it with ES file manager, which I installed, but the 2-year old tutorial had different menu structure for putting ES into "root explorer" mode, but finally got it modifiedt, saved, rebooted).
And I still dunno what launcher I'm using. After posting I did some web searches earlier, seems CM has its own launcher (forgot name, something that sounded french), and GApps has a launcher, but I read the CM version of GApps (that I used) doesn't change the launcher, but I also read the launcher from GApps is the one that will pop up google now if you swipe on the side of the screen, and that keeps happening to me (by accident as I'm trying to figure out how to use this thing) so it seems I have the GApps launcher. I dunno.
My problem is solved as mentioned in previous post, just rambling as I'm trying to understand all this.

Use a different launcher? Nova, GoLauncher, Apex, Aviate, etc... most should have options for this.
Is there no way to fix it permanently in the default launcher? I'd just rather not use too many add-ons unless truly needed, but am getting tired of looking up this thread every time I update CM so I can find the text I need to re-insert. I'm happy to figure out how to submit a real bug report but dunno if it's a CM issue or google issue or what...

There's no bug. This is by design.
If you don't like it, you can change the launcher or keep doing the build.prop hack.
Curious... why do you think it would have been purposely designed this way? I just assumed it was one of those things that worked right for some phones but not others or something.... There's already settings to turn off rotation (and to select which specific orientation to allow rotation), so if someone wanted it off for some reason they should be able to turn it off that way...
Either way, if it's not a bug report, then it's a feature request, either way I'd like to at least *try* to get it changed before I give up and try an alternative. I'd imagine the developer or whatever wouldn't want people switching to alternative launchers if there's something he could easily fix fix anyway. And I imagine since it's so easy to fix by editing that file, it can't be that hard to fix in the program or whatever, and since supported in other launchers it's not some system limitation or something...
Anyway just my thoughts. I'm still very thankful for being told the workaround, and I'll probably figure out how to write a shell script that adds that line for me so I can just run that after each update (instead of looking up this thread and manually editing a file on an annoying little device). But that only helps me, be better to get it fixed for everyone.

Android is all about choice, you've been given several workarounds which fix the problem.
Other than that, this is how the stock launcher in CM is designed. A lot of people don't want the home screen to rotate when the phone rotates, I'm one of them.
