Issues with text misalignment under icons in Main Apps screen [fixed!]

I am having an issue with the following apps in the Apps screen on my Nexus
updated facebook
compass
movies
the weather channel
shopsavvy
after downloading these apps from the Market, the text under the icons seems to be off to the right in the main applications screen, but if i make a shortcut for the same app onto the home screen, the text under the icons in the home screen is properly aligned...
Anyone else having this issue?
I have firmware 2.1, Baseband 32.19.00.16U_4.02_02.14 and Kernel 2.6.29-gad36b87 [email protected] #1

ok I fixed it
Just change to another locale (eg, from UK english to US english) and its fixed.
Silly bug!

I also noticed this, a simple turn off-turn on will also solve this problem it seems!

what do you mean text misalignment? In my app menu I have apps that the word isn't spaced and 1 or 2 letters continue underneath the icon.
Is that what you mean?
if so, where did you go to change your locale?

I have this problem as well. I don't think it's the same as the ops.

Reboot fixes this

I saw the same for "Wikitude": the text started a few spaced to the right underneath the icon, as if starting with a Tab. I rebooted and the problem was fixed. Then I installed "g-Lock demo", and had the same problem. Another reboot fixed that too.

Launcher Pro Wallpaper

Is anyone else having problems with wallpaper on Launcher Pro? Using the default launcher, the wallpaper scales down to the size I set. Launcher Pro keeps it HUGE and cannot be adjusted no matter what the resolution is.
Am I doing something wrong?

I have the same problem, it happens basically with any launcher that is non stock. theres apps that can fix the problem, but seems like a quirk that we're stuck with

So I was having the same problem and figured out what causes it, and a way to generally avoid it.
what seems to be causing it: Allowing home screen rotation. It appears that as soon as you rotate, Launcher pro resizes the wp to that pixelated mess, and will not revert it back once returning to portrait. I've had it happen also while going to the home screen while having the browser in landscape
to prevent: from home screen click menu / preferences / behavior settings / -> and make sure "enable auto rotation" is unchecked. (don't worry you can still rotate in apps by activating the rotation setting in the notification bar, unchecking that box just prevents the home screen rotation)
to fix your current messed up wallpaper: click menu / settings / applications / manage applications / -> click launcher pro / click clear defaults.
this will allow you to activate touchwiz again. So hit the home screen button and select TW to complete that action. after it's done try setting your wp again. Go ahead and reset launcher pro as your default now and your wp should still look good. You should now be able to crop new wp's and have them look fine too.
you shouldnt have to do this again
all set!

That did the trick. Thanks!

I tried that but it didn't work on my evo 3d

there is another work around
open the pic you want to use
rotate your phone to landscape mode
set your wallpaper using the landscape square, not the narrow one. Let it finish.
rotate your phone back to normal
your WP should now not be that pixelated mess

[Q] Remove the google search bar [cm11 m9]

Hi guys. A while back, some version of cm11, had the ability to disable the google search bar. Last night I did a complete wipe of my phone and reinstalled cm11 m9. Now the setting does not appear to be there anywhere. I have looked in the settings area and i cannot find it. I seen a post somewhere that said to disable the google search app and I did. It did take the bar away but there is still a big gap from the top of the screen to where the icons are, as if the bar is still there, just invisible. If anyone has an idea, please let me know! Thanks all.

Are you using the Google launcher or cm11s (trebuchet)?

I honestly dont know. Basically I installed CM and left it at that. So whatever is default for cm i havent changed it. If this is something i need to install let me know about where i can download it at. thanks for your reply. im just confused because used to be automatically a trebuchet settings in the settings page. Now there is not. Thank you

Apparently im using trebuchet because i tried to update, then the app crashed. Rebooted, and uninstalled trebuchet. Then was left with a blank screen. Rebooted, stuck in boot loop. So i restored nandroid backup and now im back to square 0. LoL

Hey don't know if you're still struggling with this but I stumbled on the answer. I had the same issue with a Nexus 7 I cleaned out and re-imaged with CM11. The setting used to be in some sub-menu of the settings panel. Now I could not find it. Looked and looked. Found in the home settings choices. Not sure that's the right name. But anyways...when you are on your home screen, if you long press in a blank area or you press the menu button below the screen if you have one, you get that grayish bar at the bottom with choices for Wallpaper, widgets and themes.
Just at the top of the gray area are three dots in a triangle. You tap those dots and the screen expands to show a bucn of toggles. Near the top is "Search Bar". Tap to togge off and it's gone! Could not embed images in post because new user but here's the screenshots.

[Q] New page on home screen. Where did it come from?

Hello all,
I'm a relatively new OnePlus One owner and yesterday after I rebooted my phone, a new page showed up as part of my home screen pages. What was the first home screen page is now the second one and this new page took it's place.
Since I have no idea what it is, I'm attaching a screen shot for reference in hopes someone might be able to tell me. It's mostly blank with the text that says:
Get some extensions!
Looks like you don't have any installed
extensions. CM Home currently supports
DashClock extensions, so go get some and check
back here!"​
Would anyone know where this suddenly came from and more importantly, how can I get rid of it? If I had wanted it there, I would have added it myself. Don't much appreciate a phone that doesn't respect user settings.
Thanks!
Tim

Nobody knows?
There must be some way of getting rid of this thing. It seems to have shown up after I updated to 38R. It's also mentioning something about Dash Clock. But since I don't have any app named Dash Clock installed, I have no way of uninstalling it.
Tired of these apps or themes, etc that just think it's fine to modify a user's settings and add whatever they want to a phone. I take the time to setup my phone for a reason. If I had wanted something changed or added, I'm perfectly capable of determining which apps I wish to have and where I wish to place associated folders, icons, widgets, etc.
Would be very appreciate if anyone could give me some advice how to get rid of that page.
Thank you!

It is part of the trebuchet launcher from cyanogen. You must have gone into the settings and turned on the CM Home search panel. Just go back into the launcher settings and change the search panel option to "off" and it should go away.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have looked already, but see nothing obvious listed in my Settings where I can find anything related to CM Home search panel. I have also searched for any apps that might be labeled as trebuchet, launcher, CM, etc. Would you mind telling me where exactly I can find such a setting as you mentioned?
Thank you again.

It is not in the phone settings it is on the home screen. Long press down on any part of the home wallpaper not covered by an icon or widget and you should see a menu bar pop up at the bottom with 3 icons for setting wallpaper, widgets and something else. There should be an up arrow near the top of the menu bar which when pressed will take you to the launcher settings, that is where you can change the options.

Nova Launcher Prime Icon bug fix

Hi there,
just figured out what was messing up my icons and making them look as if they're broken or sth. ... so basically simply toggling on and off the setting 'Normalize icon size' in the Look & Feel section makes the icons screw up. And that's not only the icons on your desktop but also the icons in the app drawer. So just never toggle that option... EVER .. just let it be. And you'll be all good. I figured making regular back-ups is a great thing so .. take advantage of that.
If its too late already and u've already screwed things up, then reinstall Nova launcher ... that fixed the problem for me.
This is the problem

Well ... was too good to be true. Now I just got the same error, this time NOT caused by the above-mentioned reason, though. What a bummer. Reinstalling didn't fix anything this time
The fix however might be hiding in enabling 'Aggressive desktop' under advanced settings.

It's still there I have Nova Launcher Prime v.4.2.0 and the problem is that when I enlarge the icon size of icons on desktop and in app drawer and then simply toggle 'Normalize icon size' in 'look and feel' OFF and then back ON the icons mess up. I toggle it on purpose just to see if the error is still there, cos I know this is 1 way off tracking the error, but sadly other things cause the error too. I haven't yet found out what they are though. The problem is that I have this problem with icons, not only with shortcuts on desktop but also with icons in the app drawer. See this image for the issue. Once I get it it's a lot of work to fix it. Sorta reinstalling and starting from scratch, cos backups don't really help ... no idea why even if they were made at an earlier point in time before the wrong adjustment of settings was made, i.e. before increasing icon size too much and toggling 'Normalize icon size'. Using 'aggressive desktop' does not help solve the problem. That's why for now i've switched to Apex.

So yeah ... don't go over 105% for size of desktop icons ... that's the culprit. If you go over that and toggle the 'Normalize ...' option then you'll end up with the problem.
