ADW Launcher - Keeps Crashing

I keep getting:
The application ADW.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It keeps looping this over and over when I force close.... please help

First go to settings, then applications then manage applications find adw clear cache or data, then if that doesn't work uninstall then reinstall, and if that doesn't work I'd say do a clean install of rom, by the way which rom are u running?

I can't even get into settings at all....this happens when it unlocks and keeps looping so I can't even get to my homepage.
I tried to get into the market via voice search for android market, but when I try and launch the market, the market app crashes too!.
The phone is currently stock 100%, just carrier code unlocked..

Yup, mine started doing this when I change themes. How does one get in touch with developers?

You could have deleted adw via adb while in cwm or even while booted into the os.

If you were 100% stock then that means you had installed adw launcher from the market. Correct? If that's the case then you could also have just done a factory reset from within cwm and it should've cleared up any issues as it would've deleted any user-installed apps, including adw launcher.
Either way glad you found a solution.

Problem already solved but just for others visiting this thread, there is a way to get rid of the issue (which worked for me). when there was crash in ADW Launcher, statusbar still works. This is to key to get back to original theme (as you can't access settings directly to set default theme)
Opened status bar, start internet.
From another device (or desktop machine), send a mail to yourself with google play link for the new theme you just installed
Your status bar will now have new mail notification (assume its activated)
Now access your mail app and open the link from the mail
Now you have browser app opened with google play page
You will have uninsatll option for that theme. Just do it.
Now as new theme is uninstalled, your default theme will come in picture and everything will be normal.
I hope this will help others fall in similar situation after installing new theme.

[Q] viperone s 2.2 super clunky...

Let me start by saying I love the viper one rom, it's clean, fast, and the tweak setup is super easy and quick.
With that said, I'm extremely disappointed in the newest update from 2.1 to 2.2. After updating my phone runs slower then the stock default phone, contacts, and sms messaging apps take 3 times as long to load when it was instant before. All of my other complaints are aesthetic ado I won't ramble on about that.
Why is it so clunky of an update? Am I missing a peace to streamline it? Can I stop it from showing the "new update" notification because I sure don't want to use 2.2
would have posted this to the Rom thread but I don't have the permission due to being new. Thanks for any input!

Go to settings -> personalize -> skin and "reuse" the HTC Skin. (second entry in the personalize settings)
That fixed the problem for me, now it's not that buggy anymore.
Maybe you also want to clear the cache/app data from the Venom Tweaks/HUB Apps in the settings if you still have some bugs, that could also help. (settings -> apps -> all apps (tabs on the bottom, last one) -> Venom Tweaks -> clear data & clear cache)
If you would have searched in the main thread of the ROM you would have found this solution For example in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39160456&postcount=4239
(I also searched some time to get the solution but as you see I found one)

Yeah I tried all those fixes with no luck, I'm a programmer so I have no problem digging around in the system. I rolled back the Rom and its back to running smith, looks like I'll just have to wait tell the next update and hope its solved.
Thanks for the input though

[Solved] Homescreen Wallpaper Reset

After updating my Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) to 5.1.1, the homescreen wallpaper always resets to the stock Samsung WP every after reboot. I use themes downloaded from the Theme Store. Everything else remains applied (lockscreen WP, icons, etc.) Anyone have an idea to fix it? Thanks.

it may seem weird, but just simply uninstall facebook or disable it, reboot then update it again.

Thanks for the hint, but i tried it and failed. It still went back to stock.

Solved!
I've solved the problem, although I don't know which step did solve it.
Things I did:
Uninstalled/disabled some apps and deleted some files to free up space (my memory was nearly full)
Switched to the default theme and uninstalled all other downloaded themes
Wiped cache in settings>storage
Rebooted, downloaded a new theme and applied it
Wiped cache again and reboot
Wallpaper from theme is still there Yey!
Special thanks to @Justinhopaolo for helping me out

Can't change theme on stock, unrooted FRD-L04

I have been using the EMUI Theme Editor app to modify custom themes for my Honor 8. It has always worked fine with no problems and I have been able to jump back and forth between stock and modified EMUI 5 themes, wallpapers, and fonts, until now. When I try to apply any theme (even stock EMUI) using the stock EMUI 5 Themes app, it just hangs on "applying" and I have to force close it. It WILL work if I try to apply a wallpaper, but only that. Trying to apply anything else gets stuck. Nothing on phone has changed. Already tried clearing app cache, and everything else the stock OS allows to be cleared.

Try and wipe cache in recovery and see if that helps.

So wiping cache in RECOVERY didn't work? Do u store ur themes on an SD card? What u can try is clear cache of the app, then delete the folders Hwthemes on ur internal and external storage and reboot ur phone. After that u won't have a custom theme installed and then try to apply a stock theme if it isn't applied already.
Did this happen after the B388 update?

All my custom and downloaded themes were on internal storage in the HWThemes folder, but just to be sure, I removed the external SD card. Did everything you said, even booted to recovery and cleared cache again, rebooted, and my custom theme from before was still applied and the problem still remains. I am on the B385 update version and this is the latest version for the L04 as far as I know because I'm not seeing anything new if I run the System Update app.
EDIT: I googled B388 and yes there is an update, but it's not being offered to my phone for some reason.

Yeah I didn't receive the OTA yet. Why don't u try to clear the themes app's app data using ADB. The screenshot I've attached below has the required command to do so.
Here's the name of the themes app:

Hooked up the phone, ran the command, it returned the message "success" but the problem remains. Still hangs on applying theme. When I opened the themes app the first time after running the command, it asked for permissions, so looks like it did run.

Font: Roboto condensed
Theme: https://huaweiemuithemes.blogspot.in/2017/06/sony-xperia-xz-premium-theme-claimed.html
Theme is then modified in the themes editor app I mentioned in op. I am using custom navbar icons and battery icon, both of which are built in to the themes editor app and can be selected to modify and save custom version of any theme.
Also running Nova launcher with Pixel Icon Pack.
Wallpaper is from an app called Colors & Gradients.
Yeah, looks like I'm headed for a reset. Was hoping maybe there would be an OS update that would maybe update the system apps, but could be a long wait for that.

Still haven't done a full reset yet, but the B388 update is installing right now. Hoping this might fix the theme app.
EDIT: Nope, didn't fix it!

Already tried this using ADB commands. See previous post. Actually I don't think the app is the problem. I think that some part of the customized theme I am using that I made using the 3rd party theme customization app I mentioned in the op must have broken some part of the system framework.

Possible. For work around may be a full factory reset or dload method

Well the themes app itself won't let you delete it because it's the current theme. It only allows you to delete other downloaded themes in the app. I have also tried deleting everything in the HWThemes folder on the internal sd, which I can do, but the current custom theme is written into the system so no way to completely clear it without root access.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Finally did a full factory reset and it cleared the problem. After setting up the phone, I was able to change themes with no problem. Then just for laughs, I tried applying the "problem" custom theme just to see what would happen. Sure enough, it broke the themes app again! So I had to do another full reset, but now I know I was right, that the custom theme I made (actually I think it was the phone dialer skin I imported form one of those ios-like themes) was "breaking" the system framework and hanging the stock emui themes app. So now we know.
FWIW, I used the stock backup app to backup and restore all my apps with their settings, phone logs, messages, and some system settings and it worked great. Just like titanium backup on a rooted phone... well almost as good. Well done Huawei!

Broken themes after twrp "format data"

Hi. When rooting Huawei Mate 8 I had to use "format data" option to remove encryption (it wouldn't take my PIN). Then I flashed magisk and when I rebooted back to system, I found out that there's only 1 basic theme available, HWthemes folder empty, downloaded themes not working (despite "theme applied" notification, not even after reboot). My goldmagazine theme is gone, and the setting "Homescreen style" shows a placeholder drawing where normally my theme picture would show. Does anybody have experience with this sort of special effect? What am I supposed to do to bring my themes back?

Everything that you had installed, saved and setup got wiped when you reset data. You'll have to reinstall/replace anything that got wiped and manually set it all back up again.

Hello and thanks for your reply. The phone was shipped with those themes from factory, I never installed them, so I didn't think they would be stored together with my personal data. Any idea why new themes downloaded from Huawei don't work either?
I have access to another phone like this which is not rooted. Can I somehow extract these files from there? (The folder shows as empty, even though it 50MB+)

Try reinstalling the stock firmware and then go through the rooting process again but this time don't encrypt the device and don't enable a PIN, you probably wont have the same issue.

There may or may not be another way, but the way I described is the simplest and least likely to have additional issues to fix. Trying to "add it back" may not be so simple and might cause other bugs along the way before you get it all straightened back out.
Do yourself a favor and take the simplest route.
