[Q] GR-11 App Sorting

Has anyone found a way to sort apps in GR-11?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056542

I didn't see anything addressing app sorting in the link that you posted?

Search for Touchwiz AppSorter in the market. If it says database error after you run it, just clear the TouchWiz data (gonna reset your launcher though) Drove me nuts for about 20 minutes till I figured it out lol!

I got the database error with that app. I cleared the data, it didn't fully sort the apps. It left the original first page of apps, then sorted the subsequent pages.
Is there a way to not only sort ALL apps, but to make it re-sort when you install a new app without losing you 7 screens?
Also, has anyone figured out how to choose your home screen? I only want 3 screens, but I want screen 2 to be "home" not 3.

Use a different launcher until it's fixed? GR is still in beta. And until it's out of beta expect there to be bugs.

He linked you to that thread because that's where your question should've been asked instead of making a new thread.

Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications>All>TwLauncher>Force Stop then Clear Data...but it will reset your home screen...you'll have to customize it again...

I just swapped over to Launcher Pro.....everything is sorted nicely now!

I went with ADW free. Works great so far. Loving GR-11.

Go Launcher EX sorts it well.

Launcher pro for the win..

The TouchWiz app sorter from the market has recently been updated to support TouchWiz 4.0. Therefore you can now use it on your GR-12 ROM without getting that database error .

Choose launcher keeps popping up

Yesterday I installed launcherpro plus on my Sensation. I love the 4x6 grid and smoothness.
Naturally I've selected launcherpro as default when pressing home. However, after a while (possibly after approximately 20 home clicks) it pops up the selection screen for sense and launcherpro. The setting for the default launcher has been lost. I reselect launcherpro as default and it's fine again for a while.
I've tried go launcher, and the same is happening. Sense is not playing along?

That's odd. I have been using LauncherPro for a couple of weeks and it has never forgotten my default launcher.

Try backing up LauncherPro data (in LP Preferences) and then clearing the defaults for the homescreen settings (in the Application Settings) then clearing the data for both Sense's launcher and LauncherPro No idea if it'll work, but it's worth a try...

Did you check make this the default action when it asks which browser? If an operation has more than one option ie Sense and LP android will keep asking until one is set as default.

Thanks for the options, but I still have this problem. Of course I select 'set as default', the issue is that after a while (it seems completely random) it pops up the question what launcher I's like to use. It doesn't remember my setting for Launcherpro.
I've cleared all data for both Sense (2 processes/apps with the name HTC Sense) and Launcherpro. No luck. Annoying. Running 1.28.401.1

Are you using home switcher from the market?

I used it and was able to switch/reset however removed it later because I thought it might interfere. Didn't help.

I'm having the same exact problem too since yesterday. Can't remember if i've updated any app that might have caused this. Mine is more frequent, after selecting go launcher as the default launcher, it pops up again after a few seconds.. Plz help anyone... I'm using Sensation XE with Android Rev 4.1.13 rom with go launcher..

Are you using backed up settings that include the Calendar? I tried bringing my settings over from CM7 to Virtuous Inquisition and it was the calendar causing LP to bomb out - I found this out by starting afresh (deleted app data through app manager) and adding widgets one at a time.
Shame, cos I prefer LP's calendar over the stock one. Bit annoying that LP doesn't get any updates anymore (woulnd't mind seeing some new transition effects).

okay i found out what was wrong... i uninstalled all my recent updated apps using titanium backup, reinstalled them one by one and found out that its was one of my updated app called 'football kaki' that was causing the problem.. i reinstalled an earlier version of that app + data and everything went smooth.
i think the newer version of that app had some disagreements with go launcher..
well guess i hav to settle for the lesser then, at least i dun hav the annoying default launcher pop ups...

mine also happen to suffer this problem...Go launcher btw.
any more idea on how to find the culprit is?

There's a chance launcherpro is crashing, it gives you the option to use sense if it ctashes

Problem adding widgets

I'm running stock, rooted. Anytime I attempt to add a widget to my home screen, I get the error, "Unfortunately Google Search has stopped". Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks! Who would have thunk? I installed Nova, problem gone. So now I uninstalled Nova and the problem is still gone. I never even opened the app. What gave you the idea to try it?

I always had Nova as launcher so even with the "new google experience" I wanted to install Nova.
However I've just tried again with Google launcher and adding widgets/new wallpapers seems to work now. FYI between the problem and now I wiped app data from Apps manager and reboot.

Yeah, I use Nova Prime with Slim Roms on my Nexus 7 and retired Gnex. I was giving the stock experience a whirl until SlimKat is ready. So far, I like the new stock launcher. Thanks again.

Thanks, this is what fixed it for me! Although just the wipe did it, no need to reboot.

Google Launcher

Hello all, I'm new here - but have been reading these forums for a while. I have a Google Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.2. I would like to disable the launcher (Stock KitKat launcher) so that I can have only the Nova Launcher Premium. When I was running Android 4.4 this was easily done - I simply went to Settings-Apps-Launcher-Disable. This option is now grey and I am unable to select it. Any advise would be very welcome. Thank you.

Hit the home key, select Nova Launcher used always and restart the phone?

Thank you for your reply. I have selected Nova as my default home already but whenever I revert back to the stock launcher its full of app shortcuts and mess from installs and uninstalls which is annoying. I find every time I uninstall something I have to go back to stock to clean it up. That's why I liked the option to disable the launcher as I didn't have to bother with it.

There seems to be a number of issues with 3rd party launchers with kitkat on this phone.
