Hi I have a problem with my 8gb moto g occasionally the apps disappear I can click somewhere on the screen and it will start that app but can't see anything.
Seems like that's a glitch with the launcher. Try switching to nova launcher or apex launcher (you can download them from google play). You'll get more features from them too.

You're welcome, it seems that the default firmware on the moto g has issues with transparency in general, because sometimes chrome graphically glitches like this too. Maybe try a custom rom like cyanogenmod if you get more issues.

Hi i'd like to try and keep the phone standard don't want to void the warranty by putting a custom ROM on there anyway I'm on nova launcher now it is working great love the resizable widgets, thanks so much for your help. This is a very strange problem my last phone was a Chinese dual sim phone the standard launcher on that worked perfect I suppose for the great price of this phone we can expect a few small issues.
Talking about transparency... I noticed it with incoming call contact image. It displays only half of the image and the part where are the buttons is black.

Hi i'd say the only solution if you don't want to install a different launcher is to wait for Motorola to release a software update. As for the home menu, you can change your default launcher with that and network operator just let's you automatically or manually select your operator.

I loved to use adw in the past but recently the updates made it unusable for me... so i am looking for a replacement...
Maybe i should just stick to an old version of adw (i unfortunatly didnt backup mine before updating)
So what are you guys using?
Ps: and please dont tell me to google or "this thread already exists" coz i want new information
Yea, ADW has started crashing on ocassions, its really annoying. Dont know what alternative is good like this.
ADW ftw! Never had an issue with it.
I for one am interested in trying the LG Optimus launcher once we get Eclair. Im an organization freak so the customizable app drawer appeals to me. Also looking forward to trying Launcher Pro Plus with Eclair. Currently using ADW and have no problems.

Have you not tried the "group" feature in ADW? Open the app drawer and press the menu button - choose group - New catalog, name it, choose apps to be in it, then when you go into the app drawer you just press the menu button and choose your new group.
I had been using Slidescreen pro since last 3 weeks and with facebook and Google reader integration working with it,i have laid Timescape and the old ADW launcher to rest in peace.
I can assure you would get a different experience once you start using it........

damn i have to write somewhere in my profile that i started to code my own stuff when i was 15 years old ...
sure i tried to reinstall, delete settings, reset, just restart, play with different settings and i even tried to talk to it (j/k)... none of the things worked ...
can you do me a favor and try to press and hold the home key to switch between recent apps and then press the home key again?
everytime i do this i have to set it as default home again - this is way more annoying then the little crashes i experience all the time and for me it makes adw totally useless now ...

try LIVEHOME which is also a home screen replacement, nearly the same as adw but has a few more features, one of them is transitions, you can flick through you home screens like pages in a book (love it). Try it out.

ok after playing around a lot with settings i have to apologize to my beloved adw launcher
ok it still crashes a lot in the newer version but my main problem - that it cant remember the default home - is on the stock android homescreen too so i guess somehow my software is ****ed up *cry* ...
guess i have to reflash (god damnit this **** is more buggy then windows 95)
edit: btw livehome looks really nice ... i like that you can change the icons in the drawer
Update: after reinstall and some hours later i got crashes again and that home-button problem too.
Now i set only the adw-homescreen to "dont auto-rotate" and i have no problems now.

Hallo,
every now and then, when I restart my Nexus 5 Android 4.4 all of my extra home screens on the right have disappeared. Sometimes when I create new screens to the right and then restart, by some computer magic they have returned, but alas not always. Is anybody else experiencing this behaviour? Does any body know how to prevent this happening?
Or which alternative launchers have been tested and found good under 4.4?
Best regards to all

I think it appeared after switching on Google Now.

Hi Spikes,
unfortunately I have not yet found the cause or any further infos to the problem. I'm going to look into other launchers - also because the icons are so large on nexus5.
Bye

Same problem on my Nexus 5.
4.4.2 Android Version installed and the problem still survive.
Please, help us!
Same problem here, but with GEL on Nexus 4 on Android 4.4.2. (I know it is a Nexus 5 thread, but I though it would be helpfull).
Trying to resolve the matter, I came up with a solution(?) :
1. Put new shortcuts/widgets so as to get back the same number of screens as you had before.
2. Settings --> Home --> Old Launcher
3. Home button
4. Settings --> Apps --> Google Search --> Clear cache (this step may not be necessary)
5. Google Search --> Force stop
6. Home button
7. Settings --> Home --> GEL
8. Home button
This triggers something and I get my original screens back (most of the times)
Please verify this solution and report back.

Hi,
I have all the same problel about the disappearing additional home screens: it appens randomly(apparently) when ,at the moring, I turn on my Nexus 5.
(last standard firmware 4.4.2 on,GEL Launcher and Google Now disable).
I found this other strange thing: when i found disappearead additional home screens, if I had new home screens with only app in each, when I reboot, SOMETIMES, i found the old disappeared home screens(whit the preovious app icons in them)
I thought it was a problem of "Clean Master" "Delete Junk Files" operation but I cant reproduce the problem everytime.
Anyone have hints about this problem?
thanks
PS: Happy New Year!!

It's best not to rely on buggy launchers made by third rate coders.

Hello to all,
I dont know if someone did create this post earlier cause i did not find it, correct me if i am wrong.
I am owner of nexus 5 and i have an issue with third party launchers like nova launcher.
I installed recently nova launcher and when i pressed home button it asked me as usually which launcher i prefer
to have as default. I have chosen nova as always..
But when i use google search for example and then i press home button again suddently the window is poping up
again on which launcher i prefer and i choose nova all the time...
This story is too annoying cause it cannot remember that i said always to be nova as default.
If someone has faced this problem your help will be apriciated...
Sorry for bad english if i made mistakes...
Thanks in advance!!!
did you double check in settings > home to see if nova was sticking as the default launcher there? do you have the free or paid version? just curious.

For whatever reason, scrolling wallpaper still works with some launchers. I have it working with ADW EX and I've heard at least Go Launcher described as still working. I just don't like the way ADW scrolls wallpaper.
Does anyone understand why we have an issue? Is there some way that AOSP Android allows for scrolling, and this is not working in KitKat or Sense has broken it? I've read Nova used to have a force scrolling option that was removed. Does anyone still have it working on that older version? Why was that option removed?
For me, with Solo launcher, wallpaper scrolling doesn't work. Themer, it doesn't work, Go Launcher scrolling works fine. I even like the transition, which makes sense, as opposed to the way ADW transitions. What a stupid way to choose which launcher I will use.
I guess I don't care about icons and traditional themes, though I'm definitely impressed with Themer's abilities, it's just not what I'm looking for... Just scrolling wallpaper, please.

Same feelings here for Nova. I love everything else about it. I continually try new CM nightlies but then miss the duo cam and IR features.
Edit: Oh and the main one, swipe to wake
I'm going to update this post later. There's several live wallpaper apps that restore wallpaper scrolling. I think the one in using now is landscape wallpaper. It works completely and invisibly, as if scrolling was miraculously restored. I even like being able to auto-switch walls on unlock.
EDIT:
Landscape Wallpaper - PROS: Better settings than WC, IMO; gives you lockscreen wall control, "scrolling direction," "scrolling source" of simulated or launcher (method), elastic effects, and image quality.; if choose simulated scrolling source, has further scrolling effects! (almost won me over with this... if could add "border mode" option to infinite scroll wallpaper (visible edge/seam, not jump/scroll back), I'd donate/buy this) CONS: Maybe a PRO, scrolls wall behind app drawer, but can't disable this. Can't create "albums" to choose from; only single image or folder
Wallpaper Changer - PROS: can create albums from single file, folder, or individually selected images from multiple locations and switch between them at will!; simple and works well. CONS: settings seemed glitchy or quirky for me; can add, but apparently not remove individual images from albums!?
Scrolling Live Wallpaper - Pretty simple, it adds wallpaper scrolling and worked for me. I don't remember it being bad, but I hated that when I took a screenshot, it became obvious it lowered the resolution/quality of the wallpaper dramatically, probably for performance. I don't think it had an option to disable this. It also scrolled unnaturally, imo. I think it simulated the scrolling effect, but poorly.
Wallpaper Wizardrii - I'm pretty sure I read this will enable scrolling for launchers that don't support it. I didn't try it. Looks popular, but has tons of wallpaper wizard effects that I don't need or want.
TIP: If using stock lockscreen, and maybe regardless, along with 3rd party default homescreen -- set same live wallpaper as wallpaper in Blinkfeed or stock launcher (settings same, regardless of launcher). Annoying when choosing single or small set of images; after a reboot, I always had a non-chosen wallpaper load, then refresh with expected live wallpaper after homescreen loads.

I like the slide up animation and the smooth feeling of it, but compared to e.g. Nova Launcher - it's not even close.

Also - Google App does not appear on the left side.

I can't get why someone should tell you what is great and what is not in this launcher? If you like it, use it, if not, then there are tons of other launchers. And let's not forget that "great" is not same for everyone and all have different liking and needs.

Transparent dock background not working on beta 10. Shows first but disappears after i slide up to drawer. And the animation is pretty awkward from light transparent to whiteish to black.
Pretty sure this is just a link to the APK by team blacked out, which is originally in a zip file so you can flash it as a system app allowing the slide left Google now functionality to remain
