To those who flash roms all the time, I've noticed that sometimes when I do a full Titanium restore after a fresh ROM flash, sometimes Titanium Backup will restore Launcher Pro where it doesn't go "Error loading Widget" for every widget. Instead sometimes I get a full proper restore.
This is clearly an issue for those of us that customize so much that we have overlapping stretching widgets that we need to play widget tetris.
How can I get Titanium backup to do this? I haven't investigated enough but it's clearly a set of events that I've done to get it to work SOMETIMES....
So far I've noticed that this has happened with Nandroid backups for "ROMs" on the Milestone. Those Nandroid backups are essentially bare bone OS installations with customized stuff (since we have a locked bootloader still, so updates are harder). I usually do a Ti backup full restore and sometimes the widgets of my Launcher Pro restore perfectly.
It is android not letting you restore widgets. It just doesn't work. not TiBu or LP or any other home screen replacement.
Get Gingerbread and maybe that will fix your problem.

The problem is it does it once in a while. I know it's not supposed to work becase only the official Launcher Pro widgets will be restored. You are supposed to have to add back your own widgets, but once in a while a titanium backup restore upon flashing a new rom gives me my original homescreen where I don't have to manually re-add any widgets.
I think you're on something because it doesn't.. only reason LP widgets work is because you're using it's own widgets and the launcher can load it because it's its own propriety. I think the only way you can have widgets restored to state is through a nandroid restore.. and even that i'm not too sure.
It's a security thing, Android doesn't let any program, aside from the official Widget Picker, add a new Widget. So when you restore, the Launcher tries to add the Widget, Android checks to see if that program is authorized for that widget. If it is, it adds it. If not you get the error or empty space.
If you restore the data without uninstalling Launcher Pro or resetting your phone, I imagine Android still has the widget authorized so no permission error occurs.

It has done it.
You are right that a Nandroid restore will restore everything because a Nandroid is essentially like an HD image. But I can assure you what I'm talking about was a Titanium Backup incident. My problem is that I've seen it a few times, but I haven't investigated it enough to reproduce it or to see how to get it. Perhaps someone here has also seen it before, but shrugged it off.
I'm a Milestone User and when we still had Eclair mods like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765346
The modder replaced the default launcher.apk with LauncherPro. So what happens is he uses Nandroid to make a Nandroid image of his "ROM." Yes. Locked bootloader FTL. So we use Nandroid images. Essentially it's still a bare bones version of a ROM.
Well, I have all my apps backed up on Titanium Backup before I install this because its like a full wipe. I then restore all my apps.
Now I've only used like 8 versions of his ROM compared to like 2-3 of other ROMs, so perhaps its the fact that when installing his ROM, he already HAS LauncherPro as the default system launcher. Thus when I'm restoring my Titanium Backup, when it reads my Launcher Pro settings and puts it in the system app, it has no problem accessing widgets.
I do remember it failing once in a while too, but there have been AT LEAST 3-4 times where I did NOT have to restore any of my own widgets.
Once again I highly suspect this has something to do with having LauncherPro integrated in the Nandroid backup, even if it doesn't have any of my widgets.
I'm asking this because I'm using CM6 now and it uses the update.zip method and obviously I can't trigger the LauncherPro thing anymore. I don't know how it worked before, as it seems to be a bug. I completely understand that Launcher Pro is not supposed to allow restoring of non LP widgets. How it's done it before, I do not know.

This too has happened with me as well and not only with TB but also Mybackup root as well, TB has option like applications widgets and MBR says android home, I flash alot and I say 10% of my restores this happens with (working) I tried every ordering i can think of to reproduce it but never can seems completely random. I wish someone could figure this out because it does work just not sure how to always reproduce it.
He is not on anything... This has happened to me also.
Like he said every once and a while after installing a new rom and doing a titanium restore everything goes back to normal widgets and all.
This would be very helpful for me because I don't use icons at all. I strictly use custom Icon and desktop visualizer. So this would be huge to figure out the work around to make it work every time
Stupid question..
Have you tried restoring everything BUT LP with Titanium, let it finish, then restore LP with Titanium?
i reinstall new rom > wait 15 > reboot.
restore backups via titanium > reboot.
at this stage, my widgets don't display. i'll usually open market to login, open talk, maps. whatever else requires logins or permissions and reboot.
most of the time, after this last reboot my widgets appear, but this time they didn't. after restoring tons of stuff again and rebooting, no change.
this time i opened google finance (which i have a widget for and requires login). i allowed it's permissions and rebooted. my widgets appeared.
in this one case, i believe i had to open each application i have a widget for to make sure they were all logged in, then reboot.
i hate having to restore my widgets each time. i'd love to figure out the secret to restoring them consistently.
I can get Titanium to restore all my widgets every time. I use TB to backup "Application Widgets" before flashing a new ROM.
Obviously once I restore all my apps with Titanium Backup my Widgets all show up with the error. But if I restore "Application Widgets" again and immediately restart my phone using a quick reboot app (I use Hot Reboot) the widgets all load fine.
I'll usually do a full restore of all my apps. Put a Hot Reboot widget on my homescreen. Restore "Application Widgets" again. Reboot using Hot Reboot. Then when the phone is done booting all my Widgets appear correctly (minus the Hot Reboot widget I just added, it errors out).
Don't know if it'll work for everyone but it works every time for me. Saves a lot me time.
EDIT: Works perfect!

I don't find anything in Titanium Backup to select backup "Application Widgets"? How this is done? Thanx
IS this LauncherPro specific or does it work with other launchers

I don't believe it has anything to do with Launcher Pro actually. It's listed in green for me indicating that it's a "System service with useful data". I have the paid version of TB and I have no idea if that has anything to do with it.
It's available for me in batch mode and through backup/restore. It's exact name is "Application Widgets" the icon is the Titanium Backup Circle and it's listed in green with all the other Apps that start with A.
I see Application Widgets on the free version also, I haven't tried it before though...next time I switch ROM's I'll give it a shot!

Don't understand that. I have latest Titanium but I don't have anything found to backup/restore "Application Widgets" or "System service with useful data". Whre do I find that. I have default launcher as well as Launcher Pro but don't find it with both launcher. Thank you.

The "System Service with useful data" is in the legend if you hit menu. It describes what the programs written in green indicate. Maybe try a Batch backup of all system data, and look for it in there. If you do a Batch "Backup of all system data" do you have anything in that list listed with green writing?
Edit: I guess it may depend on your root status as well. I know I'm rooted with S-Off, maybe that has something to do with it if you're not.
thank you.this trick is working perfect. i tried it with a cm7 rom in hd2
got it
Going to try this now - flashing another ROM just to see.

Galaxy Tab..
So i got these three application pre installed in the tab related to muslim religion, the Holy Quron, Qiblah and some direction app.. they were factory installed.
As much as secular as i am.. i dont like having apps in my phone that i didnt put there..
So i went about finding out a way to uninstall them.. Long story short using busybox,superuser and titanium backup i got rid of the three..
Aha i felt like i became a jedi..
till i reset
and found the menu has replaced the icons of those three apps with nothing.. It's Empty..
I tried moving the other apps onto those empty spaces but dont work..
Any ideas people?
* May the force be with you..
This is only a test to see if i get a mail when someone replies..
You can reflash firmware - that will be the best way.. After you delete those apps and you see that all work - just do nandroid backup, and if you need to do reset - just restore backup..
If you do flash stock firmware, as suggested by DemonGloom, or a factory reset (same thing) then you'll get it back to how it was. If you then use Titanium Backup to simply freeze the apps then they'll no longer show in your app drawer (app menu). That's the most effective way of hiding them.
Alternatively, you can use Launcher Pro instead of the stock launcher and you can hide apps from the menu with that as well.
Either way, just get back to stock and take it from there.
Good luck
I tried searching the forums and found nothing...
Like a lot of others, i dont like most of the applications that come bundled on my phone and like to get rid of most of them. I cant seem to figure out what .apk file to remove to get rid of the "Kidzone" application. Any ideas?
If any root-level file explorer works, download Absolute System from the Market. It's about two bucks but it's worth it. You can use it to remove any bloatware from your device.

Not in this case. We do not have S-OFF.
Freezing the apps with titanium backup lasts between reboots, luckily. Won't remove them completely but they will be prevented from running or showing in the app drawer.
Only problem is I'm having trouble finding the package names of a couple bloatware apps, namely kidzone, highlight, friend stream and t-mobile mall. If anyone could find the names of those packages it would be great. I'll look up the names of the apps I did find in a little while and post them for you.

I cant figure out what process is Kidzone either, but i think the T-Mobile mall was called "AppPack" (MallLite-4.0.92.apk)

also tried removing the app pack, and it does not remove "kidzone"
Kidzone appears to basically be a locked down version of the home screen that only lets you turn on Youtube, Internet, Bejeweled, and T-Mobile TV from that screen. It requires you to setup a password for the lock screen. It appears to be built into sense. It's not really an application. Mostly a replacement lock screen. There's nothing "kid" about it honestly.

I second that request!
I made a thread in "themes and apps" about cleaning up bloat - still no luck on kidzone though.
I am fiddling around with dumping sense now, that will probably do it. I'll post back here if I can figure out how to make kidzone go away.
Meantime - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16739548#post16739548
okay - sorry to post after myself but I got rid of kidzone.
First, I restored a CWM backup I made right after root/busybox installation.
So, my phone state is fresh S-OFF/Root with SU & busybox installed.
It may be important to note that I did a factory reset to my phone just before S-OFF/Root & had a freshly formatted MicroSD card.
I then installed ADW Launcher from the Market, and hit my "home" key. Selected "Use Default" and chose ADW Launcher.
Now my phone defaults to ADW as it's launcher.
I then installed "Absolute System" from the Market, and used it to remove "HTC Sense"
Closed out Absolute System, then scrolled between all 5 ADW desktop screens, powered down the phone, then powered up again. (*NOTE fastboot = off)
Booted fine, was able to ditch sense without issue, and KIDZONE IS GONE!
As always, make sure to do a fresh system backup before messing with anything like this, but Kidzone is linked to sense, and replacing sense with another launcher will remove it.
HTC Sense was the only app removed from the phone, and I haven't checked everything to make sure it works yet, but no HTC crash report to send, and no force close issues. (yet - to be determined)
I've been itching to ditch sense since I got the phone, and this was my first quick test at it. Works good so far.
Edit to add:
Checked the "personalize" option at the top of the "settings" list. This just brings you back to the main desktop, doesn't throw an error.
I knew this one thing would be messed up somehow after ditching sense, but the fact that it doesn't make a problem and just closes the menu is fine by me.
I'll spend the rest of the day testing out my phone without sense to see how it runs. I'll post back how it went tomorrow.
Edit - 11/01/2011:
When I said "without sense" I meant without the sense launcher. I expanded on and clarified that in another thread (that app thread) but never cleared it up here.
To fully remove sense is one heck of a project, and will take much more then just switching your launcher.
This is great info - but with this last method - can you still use the stock/factory camera app? Is the camera fully functional, it might not be a big deal to some but would be cool to retain full factory camera functionality.
Wow, feels like going back in time -
Yep, stock camera app works fine.
It's tied to sense, and there is no true AOSP ROM out there yet, so pretty much no matter what you do you should keep stock camera functionality.
Actually, keeping the stock camera functionality/app is the main reason why there is no AOSP ROM yet, it's been generally decided that losing that would be...undesirable.
Kidzone is part of Rosie.apk, which is the Sense launcher. You lose it once you switch to another launcher (adw, go, etc...) and uninstall rosie.apk

In stock I used folders on my panels to organize the many apps I play with, its my first smartphone so i'm toying with all sorts of things. Recently I flashed Supreme Sense 9.1 (it pretty) and while redoing my setup I noticed an odd quirk with the folders.
I have a folder named Games
I link an app onto the panel
Then move said app to the folder
Open folder, see app, launch it
Play around a bit exit using home key
Usually i'm exiting in landscape mode
Taken to home panel, swipe over to my app panel
Folder is open, no apps showing within it
Anyone else? If they work for anyone else, i'll probably try reflashing. As a side note, is Sense 3.0 completely incapable of landscape think I read that here somewhere.
Dogan
Might try Mikshifted, read that executive is damn sexy too
Why all the extra steps . Sense 3.0 is now capable of Landscape. Apparently a Rom from the HTC Flyer Tablet has been ported over. The Executive Theme is Awesome. Only issue is that as of right now it has not been updated to work with MikShifted G v2.0 .
Yea like prboy said the HTC flyer ROM is here and it is awesome IMO. Im a flashaholic and ive stayed with it since its release to the shift

Sweet, I'll look around for that. I'd like to see it in something other than a port, wondering if the Shift ROM dev's are considering adding it due to our keyboard ability.

If I am wrong about the folders, how so... perhaps its a procedural error (apparently I load folders counter-intuitively) that I can fix that would solve my problem or is it a bug/incorrect flash that i'm dealing with here?

If you want to make a shortcut to something just long press on the panel in the spot you want the item. When the pop up menu comes up choose a widget for the item if avaiable. Or choose the App itself, that's it.

I get that part, I do that to get an app shortcut on the panel. Then I can move that shortcut into a folder. The reason I did this is, Should I have 6 panels full of widgets leaving 1 panel for applications. There are only, what 12 spots for application shortcuts? Now as a new guy in this wonderful world of handheld computing, I'm experimenting with all sorts of games and apps. I got a heck of a lot more than 12 and my apps list is huge making it a hassle to scroll the list. That is when I found the folder ability, where in stock I can put a folder onto the panel. I can then place the app shortcuts into this panel folder and open it... like a category.
Say I'm going to my phone to play around with some pictures I just took. I swipe over to my apps panel, click on the tools folder, choose from my selection of image editing apps that I put there. This to me is better than scrolling through 5+ pages of apps on the full list. Currently I can do all that (as I could in stock), but when I exit the application it empties the folder of app shortcuts. On top of that, the folder remains open and it seems clicking on the close folder X clicks behind it forcing me to hit a small sweet spot above the X that closes the folder on the panel. Brain screams Bug, but being new to all this thought perhaps it could be some lingering bit caused by an app data restore or bad/incomplete flash.
It seems we're not on the same panel. No worries, just thought i'd verify this seemingly odd behavior before I moved on. Thanks for taking the time and tackling all that code.
Dogan
Not ungrateful
Ok I think I'm getting what your trying to do now. Why don't you create a folder Shortcut on a panel. Then just move the app to that. That way the folder shortcut just open to a bunch of apps of you choosing. So theoretically you can have 12 Folders per panel.
Alright I think I have it figured out, but I don't know exactly why it does it because its not my ROM (I just enjoy using it). Seems to be a RAM issue, more specifically a RAM clearing/freeing system that causes it. Oddly, everytime I try to video the bug it doesn't do it or does something else entirely. Was extremely repeatable until then.
First time I tried to video it, the live wallpaper freaked out, compressed to 1/4 of the side and folder contents were retained. Second time, nothing happened and I'm not willing to take 30min of gameplay video to better test it. I don't think anyone has the time or care to test this right now, but next time you get a fresh Supreme Sense build and before you restore your backup put a large RAM intensive app on there and link a shortcut into a folder. Run the app and play for a while, pretty sure I'm doing 30 - 60min as I'm laying in bed prior to sleep. Exit app, go back to folder and the bug that I get shows up... Folder remains open, shortcuts are gone, folder is behind other shortcuts on that panel in terms of touching but on top of other shortcuts visually (I have google search bar on that panel on the top row, trying to close folder opens the voice search interface instead).
What clued me in, was juice defender's log claiming low ram and how juice defender was in danger of being killed automatically to free up ram. I'll test it out a few more times after extended play in the upcoming nights. There is a possibility that my recent install of Juice Defender solved it by denying background applications their usual access to data thus freeing up RAM.
BTW, flashed an ICS theme... Should call this combo Supreme Sexier 9.1

Ok so I have a few questions. You mentioned a Ram issue. Did you do a FULL Wipe, like the one mentioned in the link in my Sig? You also mentioned Restoring your backup. Did you mean that you restored Data with Titanium Backup, or a similar app? Because restoring Data for System Apps, and sometimes even Games. Has been known to cause issues, and glitches. Also, Juice Defender IMO causes more issues than anything else. IMO Task Killers in general are not a good idea. They usually use more memory than the save.

I did a full wipe after restoring from a nandroid backup
I followed the wipe&flash directions in the video linked in the supreme sense thread
They're a little different, only 1x each instead of 3x and without step 9 (reboot wipe cache & dalvik cache again)
Very likely it could have been while restoring with Titanium. Pretty sure that might have been what sunk Cyanomod since after a full restore via Titanium it locked up on reboot(waited 15min never got past loading screen). With SupremeSense I believe I selectively restored SMS, Contacts, App Data. Juice Defender was installed after the issue was noticed, it just gave me a log with info on what else was going on by chance. For now I think it is just me which is okay, although the backup causing issues is rather annoying.
Dogan
I need to do more app research
Do a Full Wipe according to the Guide. Then don't restore anything, drive it around for a few hours as is. See if any issues pop up. Then restore your items one by one, try not to restore any data. That way you'll be able to pinpoint the issue.

It will probably be a while before I opt to chance losing everything again. So I figure I'll just thank you for your persistent assistance now and use the more thorough flashing followed by an extended break-in period before restoring with the next ROM that catches my eye.

Same 5 icons (one of them Play Store icon) that I have located on my launcher (Galaxy S8) will suddenly disappear...and the same icons will disappear from app drawer at the same time...then one by one, load back on the app drawer, but not my home screen. Moving them back only temporarily fixes this.
At first, I thought it was Titanium Backup (of apps only) doing this...but I tried a clean install and restored with Samsung Cloud Backup, but eventually ended up with the same result. Also tried a clean flash and restoring apps with Google Backup, but got the same result as well.
This has occurred on different ROM's and with different kernels, all with the same result.
Searching for this issue is useless as there are similar, easily fixed issues that come up in results, but not mine specifically.
Clean install, new ROM, and I've narrowed it down to Health Sync app... It's disabling itself and a few other apps it communicates with...
