So I have an Android Head Unit for my car and it has 5.1.1 on it. I rooted it with KingRoot and disabled Launcher after installing Apex Launcher.
The issue I have is that no matter what I do I can't add any widgets! I hold the screen select widgets and select any widget then i drag it to an empty screen and it pops up telling me that by adding this widget Apex will have access to its content or something like that. There is a checkbox and I select it and hit ok but nothing happens. I try and don't select the checbox and nothing happens. Even tried to use Nova and Arrow Launcher but exactly the same issue there too. I even moved these from data to system but still nothing.
Please somebody help me out I am pulling my hair out with this one. Just can't figure it out.

Hi,
I newly installed ADWLauncher, got a theme and was customizing it.
Then when I changed a folder name, it crashed (The application ADWLauncher EX (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly).
It crashes as soon as it is launched. Worse, because it is set as default launcher, it restarts when I "Force close" it and crashes again.
There is nothing I can do but to press the Force close button.
Can't do anything from computer because I can't turn on the USB debugging mode...
Any help?

Hmm.. You can try a factory reset, but that'll make you loose al your data on internal memory.
Which version?

He can't go to settings because the launcher is crashing. Press the search button, and search for market, and launch it from the search. Then download another launcher and then when pressing the home button it asks again which launcher to set as default.
If you don't have search button, you can try long pressing the home button, and going to last used apps. If there's either settings or market you can download another launcher, or delete adw from settings.
Hmmm, I think you can start the phone in safe mode, turn it off, hold the menu button while turning back on. Then go to setting, manage application, adw, and clear default.
Or you might have to take off the battery to completely shut it off if you have Fast boot mode on. Reboot like usual to exit safe mode.

it works!!! thanks!!!
I'm having a problem with my ADW Launcher which is currently driving me mad and I hope someone is able to shed light on the problem I'm having.
I am using Streakdroid 1.9.0 update and after factory reset and flashing the rom (installing ONLY Gingerbread), I install ADW Launcher (free) through Android Market.
After installing ADW Launcher, I notice that when I long press on the icons on the home screen, there is no EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc menu. Just a simple trash icon on the bottom of the homescreen to remove the icon appears when I long press on an icon on the homescreen.
The problem is, I remember I used to have a menu with EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc previously with my ADW Launcher when I long press on the homescreen icons. How do I bring that back?
Another difference is that there is no more Lock/Unlock Screen option when I hit the menu button on homescreen anymore.
Anyone can help or shed light on this anomaly, PLEASE HELP. It's driving me crazy just wondering how I can get back the menu!
Thanks!
Have you tried using the paid version? I can email it to you

I have the Milestone XT720 rooted with Android 2.2.1 and running CM 6.3.0-RC3 for nearly a year. Overall things work well, occasionally will have the phone app hang and have to reboot, but not that big an issue.
I found one thread that sort-of related to my problem, but there was no answer included (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060466).
The 'all apps' icon in the center of the ADW (at the bottom of the screen) vanished, heck, I may have done something to cause it for all I know. For the life of me, I can't find how to get back to the 'all apps' section. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. How can I get the icon back for it? When I click the greyed star, it says "No application defined yet, drop something here."
I would think if it's something you accidentally did you could delete the cache & data from manage app, of course you will have to reset all of your customization if you do that.
On the home screen press n hold > Launcher Actions > Open/Close app drawer.
You will see the "All Apps" icon on the screen. Just drag n drop it to the original place

Hi Guys, I don't even know if I should post this topic in ,,General,, I hope it's the right category.
The issue is the following, I had installed APEX launcher for quite some time, and what happened is that once when I pressed the home button on Samsung Nexus (the most bottom button that brings the home screen) it asked me which program should perform that (the APEX or the default one) by mistake I pressed the default one and clicked to remember settings and never ask again, so.....as you might guess, when APEX is on and I whenever I click this ,,home button,, APEX switches off and I see the regular desktop....I don't know how to associated APEX with the home button again...I tired reinstalling APEX but it doesn't work....any ideas guys, I would be really really grateful!!!
THANK YOU!!!
Go into your application settings go to your default launcher and hit clear defaults.

Adding apps to the home screen should be simple:
"To add app shortcuts to the Gear's home screen, go to Apps on the Gear, tap and hold an app icon, then drag and drop it on the home icon at the top of the screen."
This doesn't work for me. I tap and hold and nothing happens. I've had no problem removing apps from the home screen through settings > edit home screen. But I cannot add.
Any suggestions?
Anyone else have this issue?

When you do a long press, nothing happens? The app should "pop up" and move with your finger just like when you drag and drop on your phone. Then drop it onto the home button at the top that appears, and you can then rearrange all the apps on the home screens.

If its the same for home pages where you can't rearrange stuff, try wiping the device? If that doesn't work, you might have a defective digitizer touchscreen.

Yes its the same. I can go into settings > display > edit home page and I can long press to move and remove icons there. So I would assume that means the touchscreen itself is fine. But I cannot add through those settings.
Wiping the device is my next move after asking on here (but I'm holding off on that for now). And after that I'll be calling the Samsung shop where I bought it.

OK so I wiped it, without restoring. Noticed straight away that below the "edit home page" option in settings, I now have a "manage apps" option which lets me do what I need. Where was it before? Who knows!
According to the help FAQs I should still be able to move icons/apps without going into settings. I still can't do that. Is it correct that I should be able to?

I don't have the same issue you do. But I also don't have "manage apps" under the "edit home page". Are you seeing this under "display" in your settings on the watch itself? Someone else has the option in GM to send an emergency message like the pebble. They are running the same sowtware number of GM that I am yet that option is not on mine. I don't understand how so many of the same watches with the same software can be so different.

It seems the emergency assistance option has to do with what phone/rom you are running. The option is not there on stock T-mobile Note 3, but if you put the international rom on it, it does.
