Randomly when I hit the home buttn I am prompted with the option touchwiz or home. I can pick either on while checking the load default and it still asks again a few min later. What am I missing?

That's a first, never had that happen.
Have you recently installed any User interface programs like ADW launcher or launcher pro?
How about any programs in general.. please be a little more specific.
Welcome to the forums!
It only happens to me when I hold the home botton and bring up the task manager. When I hit the home botton again it prompt me to choose the launcher.

Try getting home switcher from the market and tell it to set touchwiz home as you default. See if that works.
I Will try and load my appbrain list but no to launchers. Just goole stuff and a couple widgets.

I can't post links yet so check out appbrain user: ErlyD I have no launcher apps and I did try that home launcher app recommended. But still have the problem.

Sgs tools and you go to the bottom menu and choose which launcher you want and bam! Launcher is set to default. I'm using 2.2 quantum and confirm it works.

Does my epic have to be rooted? I ran the app and set it yet still get the problem. It randomly asks when I hit home. Each time I set default then select touchwiz.

Will factory reset help with this problem? What other way can I reset clean?

Download sgs tools from market. Install. Go to bottom menu upgrade stock apps, then choose laucner you want and follow instructions from there, easy fix.

Edit: this only works on rooted phones, I'm sorry if I miss read the problem.
Bottom option is:
.prop editor

I've looked over SGS Tools, over and over again. I do not understand where the option to make this fix is.
Could you give more specific instructions? Thanks!

Same here only .prop editor do we have to be rooted? To use this correctly?

I think I got a fix. I went to manage apps and cleared defaults on touchwiz but also cleared tw data. It sucked cause my icons and everything else I took the time to setup cleared but after rebuilding it seems to be working. Been about an hour now and the menu hasn't popped up.

Sorry guys I must have been way too blazed I swear I read that you guys had the froyo beta and had this problem, as I did have this issue. But it seems some of you are dealing with this on stock, without root and this will only work if you have root.

I believe that this issue is related to the installation of a certain application. As a matter of fact, I uninstalled several applications after going on a few downloading sprees (yeah, I get bored and have money burning a hole in my PayPal account) in hopes of fixing the issue, to no avail.
Otherwise, could it possibly be related to a glitch caused by setting a certain number of icons or widgets on the homescreen, causing the launcher's data to interfere with its default settings?
Either way, I took ErlyD's advice, cleared the data, and will rebuild my homescreens in hopes it won't happen again. Or else I will figure out what causes it.

I would love to follow his advice, but TouchWiz isn't listed in my manage applications list...what the heck!
Actually, none of the stuff that came installed is listed....nascar, amazon, etc.
Where do I find these?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Okay...found it via running programs.
Cleared data.
Didn't solve my problem.
Crap.

It failed. Sorry for the trouble it lasted longer than before though. I went a few hrs before it popped up. I am going to have to start uninstalling apps to see what happens.

There is a bug/feature that Samsung built into their phone (perhaps all THEIR Android phones) and this may explain your issue, in any case it explained at least 2 cases I know of:

Basically do not lock orientation with anything other than the Samsung's "orientation Lock"...
Hey guys,
When I restart my phone, the pictures of my icons become the standard market icon picture and I realized that these applications that are affected are those that I have moved to sd card.
Is there any ways to solve this problem?

Hey bryant, I had the same problem and couldn't figure it out so installed folder organizer(there is a free version) it works pretty well.

Thanks for replying. I encountered the problem again and I change the scenes for my sense UI and the icons went back to the original icons already. This is a workaround but I do not want to keep changing my scene.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
I had a problem with my contact icons disappearing in the sms stock app. I removed my htc sense account and all is ok now. Htc sense is very buggy.

I think it's because you placed these app on storage card. All apps on my card have same issue. Don't worry they are still there. Reload your card to get icons back.

ive not had this problem but dropbox is missing an icon completely.
That's weird. How about the others? Any problems with this?
Do factory reset might fix the problem.
Happens to me as well, any app thats on the SD card doesn't load an icon, usually if you manually unmount and then remount the card in the settings it fixes them.
Or if you change your device Skin.
I think its because they don't register right away when the UI loads, the SD card usually takes 3-6 secs to actually mount itself when my phone switches on.
So I have to manually remount the sd card again when the phone is rebooted?

If you want the icons to show, yes.
Or change the skin/theme on the device, that loads them too

I'm just wondering if its me or if there are hardly any Widgets that work in gingerbread? Its my first try and items like current widget install, but I can't see them in the widget list? Any ideas?

It works fine for me.
Weird I'm using mdj's latest build and can see the standard Widgets but not new ones.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Any advice anyone? Nothing is appearing other than the default items.
I had the same thing when using the SD version of that build.
Just reboot the phone and they will appear.
I've tried that to no avail
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Go to settings,application manager find the widget you want and remove it on your phone memory..then it should be appear..!if a widget is saved on sdcard it want be showed on the widget section u have to manually save widgets on your phone memory because gingerbread saves all the apps first into sdcards
You are a star, thanks for your help

Saw a strange thing in my Nexus 7(8 GB) today. When I go into Settings -> Storage, and then click on the 'Pictures, Videos' button, it opens up the Gallery, but the entire screen is blank (black) and no pictures or videos show up, despite waiting. If, however, I go to the Gallery app directly, it loads all my applications absolutely fine. Is this something that others have seen/ are seeing in their tablets as well?
Sorry if this question has already been asked before. I tried searching for it but couldn't find anything.
My N7 is being replaced, but i think this works. Once in gallery thru storage menu press settings>make available offline (or similar), pin the ones you want and then retry (you may have to restart the device). Confused the hell outta me for ages!
