I'm currently on MB1 Jelly Beans Rom build 15. Really like the "Rings Widget" on the Motorola Launcher and wanted to rock this launcher for a while. Will this mess up my phone if I try flashing it?

i think that there is a widget that is exact or nearly exact on the market but i dont know what its called....theres probably UCCW skins that replicate it too.
not sure as far as the launcher. id be weary about flashing it too though. hopefully someone can give you a clear aanswer.
found this, but not sure about for our phone. maybe someone can give a definite answer for ya. this was just a quick google search.

Thanks for the links! To be honest I just want the Motorola Rings Widget lol.....I could care less about the actual launcher. I'm not really feeling that you have to always swipe left to get to other home screens. That seems it'll be very annoying!
Okay I am confirming that this launcher definitely works with the Verizon GS3. I am on MB1 Running Jelly Beans Build 15. This launcher is running fine so far on this Rom. Only bug I found is when you swipe right to get to Motorla's quick settings, if you select the GPS to be on it'll crash and ask you to choose the home screen again. But that's not a big deal to me because I have the GPS toggle when I pull the notification bar down in the quick toggles
I only have two gripes about this launcher so far.
1. You can only swipe left to get to other home screens.
2. The consistent Google Search is always there but it's Google Now so I don't mind it too much. Just a little annoying to be on every home page.
After rocking this Launcher last night, all night, and this morning I found that though it does work it seems to make things glitchy and not as smooth. I had to get off the launcher because the Weather was NOT updating itself. It kept showing me it was still night time at 9AM in the morning and when I check on it, it'll say last updated 3 soomething AM. If the launcher was more stable and functional I'd stay on it because it's nice to have a different look and feel every once in a while. But this version of it is not a daily driver in my opinion.

Hey everyone, i did some extensive searching in this general section and didnt see my specific problem, so if theres a thread open on it already, please (kindly) point me to it.
I'm having an interesting problem where sometimes, some of my widgets are not displaying properly. So far its been Beautiful Widgets Home, Arti's Contact widget (4x4), and the AudioGuru profile widget that have done it.
PowerControl, TaskPanel X, and BatteryLife have always been fine, and shortcuts have been fine. I attached some pics of Beautiful home and audio guru. For Beautiful Widgets Home, it should be quite obvious, for AudioGuru those buttons are half the size they should be.
I cant pinpoint when it happens, although the last time it did, it was after i closed the stock browser.
Lastly, rebooting the phone fixes it, trashing the widgets and re-adding them fixes it, and connecting to my laptop via usb and mounting the sd-card fixes it.
I'd like to know whats causing it. Has anyone else experienced this bug with any of their widgets?
safe to say it's a bug with the launcher, this sometimes happens on custom launchers and it's a quick fix by just restarting your custom launcher.
usually it happens when the phone tries to rotate and then gets confused so the widgets get all screwed up. Shouldn't happen that often though.
i have it happen on LP everyonce and a while if i'm in a landscape game and then go back to my portrait homescreen, but i'd say 95% of the time they fix themselves.
Well I appreciate the insight but I'm not on a custom launcher which is sorta why it bothers me a bit more.

so anyone else have anything they could contribute to my issue?
chances are its something with the app/widget that doesnt know what the hell to do in Gbread

you might be right but I'm not so sure its gbread per say. as an update, since my last post, it was doing it at random times. i could not reproduce the issue intentionally but it happened one to two times a day.
I started toying with LauncherPro yesterday and was impressed so earlier this morning I bought Launcher Pro Plus. it hasnt happened once while using it. So I've recreated every screen i had on the stock launcher in LauncherPro Plus (and then some) with no issues.
The phone has only been release less than a month. I think that devs are still getting to grips or updating existing apps to be compatible with GB.
i find it hard to believe that widgets running on the stock launcher within gingerbread might mess up due to the dev needing to change the code to be gb compatible yet those same ones running within launcherpro are just fine. It has to be something specific to the launcher itself and not gb the os and third party. although i haven't spent any time testing just the widgets that come out of the box to see if its 3rd party only that's having the problem
Is there a quick way to make them refresh after a new app is installed?
OK. They finally updated after about 20 min. Which is annoyingly long time to wait right after getting a new app. I would still like to know if I can force them to refresh though.
You have to tell us specifically which widgets are you using and what apps have you installed to interact with them.
As far as I know widgets are real time unless the launcher is caching the screens. So if its not the launcher it may be that the apps you installed have not gathered enough data yet for the widget to display it.

I also have this problem, and I've just resorted to rebooting my phone. Not ideal, but seems to be the quickest way to update the list.
Just to clarify I meant the ICS app drawer widget selector thing is not refreshing. Not horrible but kind of annoying to have to reboot or wait forever.
Force close the launcher under settings --> applications. When the launcher refreshes you should be good to go.

I've been having this problem with ADW Launcher EX and the JB rom which before made me switch back to CM9. Now that I actually want to stick with JB (since I can now mount the external SD card) I need to figure out why this is happening.
What happens is that only the home page that my phone is on when adw launcher loads will show the icons correctly the rest shrink them down. Here is an image http://i.imgur.com/wqxRD.png
What I've noticed is I can still use the apps if I touch where they are supposed to be (If I click in the top left corner then the folder with my games still opens.) Does anyone else have this problem or know what's going on? I've searched through the adw options and can't seem to figure it out. It only happens on CM10 though.
I believe your problem is just a compatibility issue between adw and jb. You are probably going to have to consider switching to another launcher.

Yeah I thought that might be it. I might uninstall adw for now and just wait for it to update.
I've used adw with jb and haven't had any issues. You need to go into the adw settings and change a few settings.
I forget which ones. But you can change their sizes, placement, column & rows, ect.
I'm planning my escape from the digital world!
I just picked up a Galaxy note 10.1 since the price was right, and my G-tab is losing it's stamina.
it got a OTA download of 4.12 and all was good after a looooong time.
The Problem:
I have no idea how to get at the launcher's settings. (you know, like the ADW Launcher has ADW Settings)
every time I change a page a voice says page one of four or two of four etc.
Also if I open the apps drawer, there she goes again! I have searched all over the place and cannot find how to shut that woman up!
any help would be very much appreciated,
Thanks for all the responses, including those that didn't understand what Talkback and Driving Mode is off meant. (See what drugs do to the brain?) The problem turned out to be that the native launcher and Light Flow are incompatible!!! I installed ADW Launcher and now all is well again.
Thanks!
Try reset maybe.

Hi,
I've read a bit about the S6 having RAM issues, but I'm not sure, if that's the reason for my trouble.
When going back to the homescreen after having used an app (doesn't really matter which app), the phone lags a bit and after a second or two the homescreen comes up empty as it takes a couple of seconds for it to reload the icons and one widget that I use..
If I clear all my apps from the recent list, I can go maybe half an hour to an hour before it starts doing it again. It clearly speeds up right after I've done that.
I looks like my RAM usage varies quite quickly between 58% and 91%. Sometimes it shows that Google Play Services uses almost 600 MB as does Snapchat(!) and my browser (even though only one tab is open).
Do I need to return my phone or is this only a software problem? Does using another launcher even help anything here?
Hope you guys can help me!
Thanks in advance!
I'd use smart manager to clear all, and then clear data in application settings for Touchwiz home (This might lose all your home pages/icons/widget etc not sure. I'd then reboot the phone.
If it's still doing it after that, try Nova launcher or similar. I get not lag but the odd tiny redraw every now and again.
Ok, thanks for the tip.
I've gone over to using Google Now Launcher for a bit, and it seems to behave much better and more smooth. Unfortunately I can't use the stock clock/weather widget outside the TW Launcher.
I really hope Samsung addresses this in the next update. I was under the impression that this should have been fixed in the present release.

Yeah that's a real pain. I use HD widgets while waiting on Samsung launcher to be improved. You have to pay but it's pretty good with good weather.

Yeah, actually used HD widgets as well on the Google Launcher.
For info, I exchanged my device for a new one due to the home button being loose and making the clicking noise. My new device seems not to have the memory problem like my original device, or at least far from as much/often. So must have been faulty somehow. I have exactly the same apps installed...
