Hi!
I'm experiencing some delay in Launcher 7 lately, i have the donate version 1.0.0.90 and am using it on a Galaxy S I9000 running 2.3.4
Sometimes when I hit the homebutton everything is still black, if I try to scroll the non animated tiles show up, but it seems "frozen". I can start apps but don't get the animation for it, also the app drawer list is not showing any apps. After a while, let's say 10 seconds, the animated contact tile is showing again and all the apps are listed in the app drawer, but this only holds as long as I don't open an app and return the launcher again :/
Anyone experiencing the same issues?
Thanks in advance, Smirny
Hey everybody,
I just got this phone and it is my first android phone. After changing up the app drawer a bit, I noticed that the phone app is not in the app drawer or on any of the homescreens. I can search for the app and bring it up, but I cannot find an actual icon. I had placed it in the dock before, but now it is missing.
Please tell me this is a very small issue
very small, just long press where u want to out the app and select applications and scroll through and you'll see it. its still on the phone, just hidden
After installing new apps, sometimes the icon appears in a new screen, sometimes I get a blank screen (that I can't remove until I reboot), sometimes nothing happens (and a new screen with shortcuts appears after a reboot).
Is this just me?

It's not just you, I have this bug too.
But if you want to remove the blank screen without reboot the device just move an icon to the blank screen then remove it again

This happens because sometimes after installing a new app, we move from that screen or perform another action before the new apps icon can be placed by default on a new screen. This results in a blank screen with nothing on it. You can't move or delete the homescreen because it renders that there should be a new app shortcut there, but we don't see one. So what i've done to avoid this is, wait for the app shortcut to push to the home screen, the remove it and that automatically gets rid of the home screen.
If it does show up blank again, as he recommended, just move something to that new screen then remove it again and it will disappear.
That new function is similar to that of iOS, when installing a new app, it tries to show you the shortcut to what you just installed, rather than having you manually create the short cut yourself.
Kind of annoying - agreed, but you adjust. It's second nature to me now.
You can have it not put the icons on your home screen by default in Google play settings. The option is place widgets on homescreen automatically. Disable that and newly downloaded apps stay in your app drawer for you to place manually if you want.

I think this is fixed in 4.4.1 or 4.4.2.
Installed and removed a handful of apps and the extra screens and app shortcuts now consistently do what they're supposed to do.
Whenever i try to unistall an app from the app drawer by dragging the app icon to the uninstall icon, a new homescreen automatically gets added.
While other homescreens are denoted by small dots this new homescreen is denoted by a small + sign.
I noticed this while i was on 4.4 and even now while i'm on 4.4.2.
I tried replicating the same other ICS device but it did not happen on that device.
Anyone else getting this?? Or is there something that i'm doing wrong??

good day.
I've seen this recurrently happening on my Nexus 5 (stock on 4.4.2).
I have an app shortcut on my home screen. An update becomes available for the app, so I update.
the icon vanishes from the home screen but the app is updated correctly and is in the app drawer.
I just need to drag it onto the home screen again to create a new shortcut.
Why is this happening? Can I prevent it? A search of the forums here only suggests that itc possibly because the icon is updated as part of the update and therefore the old app icon is removed? hmm... The app icon looks the same each time, but I suppose it could be that reason.
Thanks guys.
This sometimes happens, when the app gets a new or updated icon.
If this won't happens on all app updates, all is fine
