I'm currently on MB1 Jelly Beans Rom build 15. Really like the "Rings Widget" on the Motorola Launcher and wanted to rock this launcher for a while. Will this mess up my phone if I try flashing it?

i think that there is a widget that is exact or nearly exact on the market but i dont know what its called....theres probably UCCW skins that replicate it too.
not sure as far as the launcher. id be weary about flashing it too though. hopefully someone can give you a clear aanswer.
found this, but not sure about for our phone. maybe someone can give a definite answer for ya. this was just a quick google search.

Thanks for the links! To be honest I just want the Motorola Rings Widget lol.....I could care less about the actual launcher. I'm not really feeling that you have to always swipe left to get to other home screens. That seems it'll be very annoying!
Okay I am confirming that this launcher definitely works with the Verizon GS3. I am on MB1 Running Jelly Beans Build 15. This launcher is running fine so far on this Rom. Only bug I found is when you swipe right to get to Motorla's quick settings, if you select the GPS to be on it'll crash and ask you to choose the home screen again. But that's not a big deal to me because I have the GPS toggle when I pull the notification bar down in the quick toggles
I only have two gripes about this launcher so far.
1. You can only swipe left to get to other home screens.
2. The consistent Google Search is always there but it's Google Now so I don't mind it too much. Just a little annoying to be on every home page.
After rocking this Launcher last night, all night, and this morning I found that though it does work it seems to make things glitchy and not as smooth. I had to get off the launcher because the Weather was NOT updating itself. It kept showing me it was still night time at 9AM in the morning and when I check on it, it'll say last updated 3 soomething AM. If the launcher was more stable and functional I'd stay on it because it's nice to have a different look and feel every once in a while. But this version of it is not a daily driver in my opinion.
Hi all,
I have had my Nexus 5 phone for a few weeks now and I love it.
Before that I owned a Galaxy S2, running on CM10.2 with Dorimanx Kernel with Nova Launcher.
I really love the N5, it really is a beast and answers most of my expectations.
However, I have recently been confronted to a problem : my homescreen widgets are not syncing/updating anymore...
Not much of them though :
- Beautiful Weather 4 x 2
- Stock Agenda 2 x 3 redimensioned at 4 x 3
- Today 4 x 2 redimensioned at 4 x 3
Before that I also tried on my N5 : Dashclock + Widget Locker and some extensions for Whatsapp, Google Music, Hangouts, Gmail, etc...
Lockscreen widgets worked fine and were correctly synced and updated.
I have noticed that my homescreen widgets are only updated once : when I set them up or when I turn on my device. After a few seconds they stop updating. Even the update button in some widgets does not work.
This is really annoying as I really like my N5 and this is really bothering me.
I have searched through all the web and through the forum and I have not found anything useful. I have tried uninstalling all these apps and reinstall them. I have tried installing them one at a time and it does not work.
I have seen your N5 homescreens in the forum and it makes me jealous as they are really looking good and rely on synced widgets.
Has anyone got a clue ?
Thank you all very much.
Marc
Hi all,
Just a quick update : I have installed Nova Launcher 2.3 Beta and all my widgets seem to be working fine in Nova Environment. Well synced and updated.
Has anyone kept the default Nexus 5 launcher (Google Experience) and observed the widgets are not syncing ?
I have tried to reset the Launcher by going into the app details and stopping the app and resetting the cache and data. It still does not work.
The weird thing is that I seem to be the only one experiencing this issue as I really have not found the problem stated elsewhere. Or maybe for other devices and particular widgets but I have tried all the solutions and none worked.
Are you running Google Experience on your N5 and are you having these issues ?
I do like Google Experience feel and is there another way to reset it ?
Do you have any clues on how to debug this ?
Otherwise, do you know where I can post this problem and find help ? Is there any Google support for this Launcher ?
Thank you all so much for your help !!

Same issue here...
EDIT
After fighting that problem for 2 days without any luck (tried restarts, reinstalled beautiful widgts, widgetoid etc.) the problem is gone now after posting yesterday into this thread.
Nice.
The only thing that changed since then is that i deinstalled tapatalk - but I can hardly reproduce the problem or solution...
Really a small chance but maybe the OP has tapatalk installed too?
Hi licht,
Thanks for your feedback though you are right, I don't know how I can reproduce your solution.
And by the way, after a successful day on Nova the problem has appeared on Nova now !!
So I guess this isn't launcher related...
There is a pb with Kit Kat somewhere...
How could I debug this ? What is the process responsible for updating home screen widgets ?
Thanks to the community !
OK I've had this problem too.. Very occasionally.. But it's happened in holo launcher..
A restart fixes it..
And I do have tapatalk installed too though am not sure it's related

Hi letmedanz,
Thanks for sharing.
I have done the restart, of the widgets, of the launcher and of the phone...
I just don't get why it works and then just stops working...
I wish I could find the process responsible for the update and my monitor it.
Thanks anyway.
Having the same issue, i guess it's only a few of us. Have you tried reflashing stock img? i might give that a go.
Actually, on Nova it runs just fine. I think I'll just keep Nova. I'm too lazy to reflash...

Hmmmm don't care for nova, unnecessary memory usage. I thought you said earlier it wasn't a launcher issue?
Will try to solve it tomorrow, perhaps it is as simple as wiping cache? Will keep you guys' updated.
You are right to point that out because I thought it was also not t refreshing on Nova. But it actually did, and for some time now it runs fine.
Thanks for trying it. I'll be checking your results in here.
The only modification i have done is installed AdAway other than that i am stock. Oh i also have gravity screen off installed.
I found out I had this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.talkingstopwatchlite running in the background still doing a timer, so many hours! =]
Exited it and now my widgets refresh. Can anyone explain how this app would get in the way of the widgets updating?? =\
problem solved
My nexus 5 block sync all widgets:
The solution is, deinstall phone weaver!
Sören
What is Phone Weaver ? Is it a specific program ? Because I don't have it.
I thought it was the stopwatch app i had running causing widget freezes, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Widgets are still refusing to refresh. Will flash 4.4.2 (clean install) hopefully that helps.
Issue is well documented here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28216
See if this works for you guys https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/uu27aDrcwFs/9L9JRo6kXqkJ

I've found solution which works for me. I hope it could help others as well.
all that I did is ran in CMD:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
after this nexus asked for locale and name again. Then I've put back my widgets.
I had no problems about a week.
Please, notice that it could be done at your own risk!
I tried the above and it seems to be working so far. Post your results =]
So i have found a temporary fix without needing to reboot.
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1 to kill all processes and tasks, the widgets start to work! The bug will occur again most likely.
Now when the bug does occur again i just have to go kill the process/task 1 by 1 to figure out which one resets the widgets, probably google search (launcher)
This must confirm there is conflict with ram! any insight?!
Anyone figured out a solution that does not involve booting, restarting the phone or manually running an app? that is no permanent fix. and this is extremely disappointing.
Does anyone get this message more often on Honor 8 saying, "Sorry, an error occurred. Your home screen icons will be re-arranged to their default positions." ? I am getting it at-least once in a week and it resets the icon arrangements including the folders I made as per my usage priority. This is so embarrassing. I am using EMUI 4 latest update. Do let me know if I am the only one facing this. Any help would be much appreciated.

How do I do the extract from an update and re-instal ? I am sorry, I am new to Android. I have been an iOS user for almost a 5 years (3 years with iPhone 4S and 2 years with iPhone 6). For the 1st time, I thought of giving a try for Android. I hope I wont regret my choice.

You can flash the stock firmware over to see if it is a problem with the software. (might wipe data on phone)
I don't have the phone so not 100% sure, someone else on this forum probably could help you more

Hi,
Please verify if the shake to arrange option is enabled on your device by pinching the Home screen>More settings. Also, you can do a backup of the device using HiSuite and perform a full factory reset to see if the issue manifests itself afterwards.
Cheers

No. The shake to arrange option is not enabled on my device. With the CM launcher I am using now, I do not face this issue so far. This was happening only with the stock launcher.

After using a launcher, I am not getting the issue. But, at times the launcher gets switched to EMUI, even though I have selected a different launcher (CM launcher, Nova, Google Now etc.)
I assume that is also a bug with EMUI.

in addition, cannot move or add anything to home screens...hope someone can help.
I"ve got two Honor 8 phones and both have always had this problem. It may happen once a week and sometimes once in two weeks. Neither phone has ever had EMUI as the default launcher, one has Nova and the other uses Microsoft launcher. I've learned to live with it since it happens so infrequently. This problem has been reported in the Nova Launcher Google+ community by others so I expect it's a EMUI compatibility problem.

I use Action Launcher and can confirm this is the case. However, I disabled the stock launcher so even when the 'Smart Recovery's message pops up it's unable to restore to default stock launcher and leads me back to Action again.
It's definitely a EMUI compatiblity problem.
Huawei mate 10 pro BLa l29 same error.
I just update my device mate 10 pro bla l29 c185. And it has an error. My device use stock laucher and, I has reset factory when I see error fisrt. But, it only show when I restart my device, such as restart or power on schedule. Temporary, I press back button to exit this error. If I press ok button, my device will be arranged.
Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried to put Nova launcher on their Honor 8? I have recently decided to change the look of my phone a bit so i downloaded the Nova launcher (prime). I managed to modify it to my liking but there is one problem with it - i think that it is slowing my phone down a bit. App opening seems to be slower and even scrolling through pages in apps is a bit laggy (facebook, instagram, chrome, etc..). I think that my phone is working better on stock emui launcher. I really like the google feed which is not available on EMUI 5.0.1
Is there anyone else who encountered the same issue? Is there any way to fix this? I tried to change the animation time in phone and nova settings and it is not helping...
Thank you.
I have Nova on mine and it doesn't run slow at all. Maybe try turning off App Animations in the Look and Feel section?
I've been running Nova on mine for over a year, and can say that I have never noticed any slowdowns at all.
Same as the person above have been running nova launcher since i bought it back in september and havent experianced any slowdowns
Ok then the problem seem to be with my phone only. Maybe i should restore it to factory settings as i haven't done that yet. I guess i will just stay with stock emui launcher for now. .. Thanks for help

Hey just convert NOVA LAUNCHER to system app thats it. It runs flawlessly
Ran it on my Honor 8 and never noticed a slowdown with it.
Thank you for you help regarding it. I wouldn't say that the phone is lagging with Nova launcher. It just seems to be slower than with EMUI launcher which is what i don't really like. Maybe it is just in my head. I think i will stay on emui launcher for now.

Using magisk module!
Some tips I discovered. It starts to run smoothly after I granted acces in advanced settings security device administrator, then Apps- Special settings - ignore battery otimization, draw over the apps, write system settings
Been using Nova Classic since I got my phone. Since I love the old Holo look I prefer this version. Never looked back. Works great.
Still using my Honor 8 on Android 6 and EMUI 4.1.
See no reason to upgrade.
Hello, I recently had on my poco F2 pro european version, the update to android 11. Since this update (12.2.1.0) gesture navigation on nova laucher bug while on android 10 there was no problem. Gesture bugs occur on all alternative launchers. Only back gestures work, and Home and Recent App only works on the Home page. It is impossible to go to home when I am on facebook for example. I don't know where it comes from, after the advice on xiaomi after-sales service I carried out a factory restore but without success. Thank you in advance for your answers.
Same as you, only I'm on the global version. Tried the factory reset as well.
For me just recents don't work.

MIUI 12 issues still exist with Nova, Lawnchair, & other 3rd-party launchers

Okay, from what I can see I'm not alone. Do you think this will be resolved with future updates or is android blocking this?

It's probably MIUI issue, because it works in AOSP ROMs.
Ah okay I thought the problem was similar to that android 10 at launch. What surprises me is that miui 12 under android 10 did not have this problem ...
same, i'm using lawnchair launcher. need to use default launcher for the time being.

I don't know, some say it works
Just don't update to latest "stable", it's not worth it.
In addition to lack of gesture support for 3rd party launchers (a huge annoyance, since if they don't restore these, I'll probably ditch F2 and move on to something more useable, besides Poco's launcher is a proper eyesore with that big bar at the bottom). Also I've been having issues with performance, lack of smoothness & often times Youtube crashing for no reason (when I'm not using it etc.).
Holy ****! So it's not just me.. Guess it's time to root my phone
ok, i have not found a working launcher! (i have tried 12x different apps!)
btw:
Nova 7 beta has the same problem!
no way out!
btw.
i have written to nova dev. They have answered they could not do anything against that behavior because xiaomi have to do that.
Must be a Poco F2 Pro specific issue..
i have seen, that the size of newer versions of poco launcher (>v. xxx.10) was reduced more than 10mb against older versions. No wonder, that we got problems.
no differences in behaviors if miui optimization is switched to on or off. Same result!
so wie have to wait for newer firmware fixes.
I have same problem, i cant open recents, and cant use gestures with other launchers.
Can some of you recommend custom rom with "swipe gestures" and "wake up on taking up" the fone features?
