It depended on what launcher you were using. If you used third party widgets/apps icons etc..., then you need to restore those first, then restore your launcher. All your icons, app shortcuts, widget should be back as before.

I use adw launcher ex which it has a backuprestore feature but when I restore my widget layout I have to individually restore each widget and I have a ton of them. nandroid backups restore the widget layouts though so there has to be something I can restore that will make it quicker

This problem seems to exist with most launchers. I have never seen a consistent solution.

You need to use Titanium backup and restore your launcher.

Launcher pro or adw rows and columns

Anyone who's using Launcherpro or adw launcher as their primary launcher - can you please share the number of rows and number of columns you have set in your settings? Instead of experimenting myself, I'd rather use tried and tested rows/columns
P.s. I'd love if adw and launcherpro get ported to honeycomb. Default launcher's inability to resize widgets is a deal breaker for me

Try this for an ADW comparable Launcher.

Yup, same issue with launcherpro gmail widget
The Gmail widget doesn't work in anything above 2.2, unfortunately. I checked the LP forum, and it seems Fede doesn't have Gingerbread or HC to test against, so that won't get fixed anytime soon. Luckily, there is a nice, functional Gmail widget included in HC. It doesn't match the other LP widgets, but I've gotten used to it.

Not 100% true. I've been using LP with miui and cm7 on my inspire and the Gmail widget works fine. Both are 2.3
Hmm you're right, I just tried it on my Evo running 2.3, and now it works Didn't work with the last 2.3 ROMs I tried on my Evo and my old gTab, but obviously something has been poked at since then. Disregard!
To fix launcher pro gmail, remove widget, backup, uninstall, reinstall, and restore. That fixed it for me.
That didn't work for me Still stuck at "loading."

10x7 on home screen; 7x5 landscape apps drawer.
I basically noted what the stock launcher was doing and then tweaked things to taste.

[Q] How do I backup Sense UI after customization

You know everytime a new rom is flash (Super wiped) all the widgets, folders and apps I customized will all disappeared/gone/reseted and i will need to redo the customization all over again. Is there a apps or a way to backup this and restore each time after flashing a new rom.
Using ARHD sense 3.5
Thanks

As far as I know you can't backup the widgets and Folders.
But you can backup the apps (+Data). I use Titanium Backup Pro to Backup and restore my apps.
My Backup Pro will let you backup/restore the Sense launcher settings and your homescreens (as well as SMS/MMS, call logs, and your apps)

I tried this app but my home screens werent restored.
Could you expand where this setting is on the app?
EDIT just did it in titaniumBU! you need to restore the DESKTOP HTC SENSE XXXX.
For some reason it doesnt do it while doing a batch restore, the icons are all back (whoch saves a lot of time), the wallpaper and the widgets need to be readded.

[Q] Backup widget on apex launcher

Hi
I have problems with backup widget on apex launcher.
I made hubs on my TF101, means I have on screen: invisible icons, widgets from minimalist text and other (but invisible icon and minimalistic are the most important).
If I make backup in apex setting or in titanium backup (apex launcher) I only have invisible icons.
How to make full backup?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but you cannot backup and restore widgets in android.
Not unless the widget was installed through an apk, nope.

Has anyone successfully backed up and restore Google Launcher shortcuts/widgets?

Has anyone figured out a method to backup the shortcuts, folders, and widgets on your homescreen in the default Google Experience Launcher? With Titanium backup or another method?
+1. I'd like this too. It might have to do with the fact that Google search is integrated. Maybe you have to backup Google search and launcher?

backup homescreen

Is there a way to backup my TouchWiz homescreen? I know I can install nova launcher, but I'd like to stay with touch wiz if possible. Could it be done?
If you have rooted your phone, try Titanium. Otherwise I don't think so

Go to settings/Samsung Cloud/Backup or restore and here you can backup your touchwizz homescreen only way i know to do that
That's not an option on my device?
Only Calendar, contacts, Internet and keyboard.
All..I found an app called "My backup " that allows me to save all of the apps and folders on my TouchWiz homescreen. Works great!
