Launcher problem

I'm running nero v3 with voodoo, and having a weird issue. Don't believe it's the rom though. Anyway, I've noticed I now have a program called launcher running when I go to task manager, and if I close it, all my icons on my maun page disappear, and it loads the stock icons. Even with a reboot, it boots the stock icons. It's a pain because I have to put my icons back. Any idea what's going on?

You should always have some sort of "launcher' running. Thats what controls the app drawer and everything else. Dont kill it.

Yeah, but it wasn't running when I first instilled the rom. I trend to close things with task manager, and I sometimes accidentally close it. Is there a way to get back my icons if I do?

Do you mean you have customized icons instead of he stock ones?
You should always have a launcher active.

No, I just mean I place beautiful widgets, and all the icons I normally use, and when I accidentally close launcher, all icons I placed on my desktop are gone, and I have to place them all back. It's a pain. I know I should just not kill the launcher, but I accidentally close it when I close other programs.

Okay, now my icons come back when I close launcher. Weird, but just glad I don't have to place them again.

If you only have one launcher and kill it with tasker operations on launcher will forced to start again. Install backup launcher with your widgets as well ; )

Launcher is like touchwiz. It is the interface. If you kill it it wilk have to start again and takes more battery.
Nero v3 does not have tw unless you dl that version.
So you are not allowing the interface controlling your os to be there. Your essentially killing the controls to ur phone.

Launcher Pro Bookmark keeps on foreclosing

It worked fine when I was on stock ECO5.
When I moved to a Frozen 1.2 or Random Rom 2.2 it keeps on foreclosing.
I tried removing the app and downloading it from the market but it does the same thing.
Once I unlock the app I can add any launcher pro plus widget but once I add the bookmark widget it keeps on telling me that "The application LauncherPro (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
It wont even let me hit foreclose it closes the pop up itself and then it just pops back up on a continuous loop.
I went back to odin ECO5 and tried adding bookmark and it works fine and fully functional.
Go back to a ECO5 rom and the bug pops up again.
Can anyone help? Or know what the cause of it is?

Same issue here, with midnight rom 5.3. searched but didnt come up with much results about it. maybe people don't use this widget from LP that much -.-

Then it makes no sense why its on nearly every rom and some its the defualt launcher and in some its the ONLY LAUNCHER!
Im trying Chris4g's EF02 stock rom right now Hopefully it will work on there. I plan on using Compkids ef02 rom after that.

Did you pay your monthly bill to prevent foreclosure?

Make sure you make launcher pro produce the note if they're trying to foreclose on you.

This happened to me on SFR 1.2 and made it turn into inevtiable LP force closes and ruined the whole expirieince. Go back to stock though and everythings fine.

It's the stock browser causing it. I had same problem and couldn't stay on the rom I was on because I only use launcher pro and use bookmark widget. I think they used a browser that does not have the checkerboarding issue and it doesn't work right with launcher pro.

so what the solution would be to change the stock browser before adding the bookmark widget and it will work?

Yes use root explorer and replace stock browser(I think they are using browser from European galaxy s) with epic stock browser. Let me know if it works for you. I think I remember it working, but I am now on ef02 leak with no issues.

Where can I find Epics stock browser? Some roms dont come with it.
Im actaully transferring back to EF02 right now.

Task Manager causing home screen stutter

I've noticed that in the leaked 2.3.4 firmwares, putting the Task Manager widget on the homescreen causes it to stutter when you're shifting through the homescreens. Never had this problem with KF3. Has anybody found a solution to this?

Nope no stutter here using KH3.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Hmmm that's weird. Wonder why I'm getting this stutter with every 2.3.4 version so far. And it's only when the widget it there, otherwise its perfect.

Im having the same problem too but not because of the task manager widget! I get stutter even with some icons and a couple of widgets!! I dont use task manager widget. BUT when i use live wallpaper then theres no stutter or lag and it becomes smooth as silk.. I have this on every 2.3.4 firmware i installed.. Now im back to stock kf3 and it rocks!!

If you have root access, then try using new touchwiz launcher from epic touch 4G. I had similar issue but now phone doesnt show even slightest of stutter.

Oh is it?? Actually i was thinking about that new launcher today that it would probably reacts better on 2.3.4 but i dont know if wanna go into the procedure of flashing KH4 again to test the launcher's lag!

I thought I was the only one, now I am enlightened. It only happens on my stock 2.3.4 KG7 ROM. I am on Cognition and they removed the widget it seems. Hope to see an update to the TouchWiz firmware soon!

When you mention it, yea it looks like the task manager widget for Touchwiz is making the home screens stutter a bit, hmm weird.

Apps Order

Is there any way to order my apps alphabetically in touchwiz? At the moment it just puts newest app last, which is extremely annoying. I don't want to move every single app by hand, that would take me ages...
Heard of an app called "touchwiz appsorter" but that is not available in google gaystore

This is the reason I gave up on touch wiz and use ADW EX. I don't believe sorting is possible and the app you mention is, I think, incompatible with our version of touch wiz.
Try ADW or one of the Go Launchers.
The apps for sorted folders seemed insufferably slow last time I tried them.

Search for “appzorter“ in Google play store. IT works fine in Galaxy Tab 7.7

The other option is to go in titanium backup and clear data for twlauncher. It will reset your desktop and app drawer and fix any fc issues you may have with launcher. Your app drawer will be back in alpha order
But yea I recommend using another launcher like adwex. It has no lag

Launcher lock up...anyone else?

I run tsf shell and next launcher and adw ex 99 percent of the time though so far I've only run tsf and next on my g2. I have experienced the exact same issue while running both launchers. I'm rooted and have over 30 apps frozen including the stock launcher.
I'm having an issue where after running my phone for awhile my launcher will lock up and refuse to do anything, or it will run so slow that it's impossible to use. The strange thing is I can still drag the notification window down and go into settings and do whatever in there and everything functions fine and is smooth, so I know there's some issue with the launcher. A reboot fixes it for awhile but it has come back several times. Another weird thing to note is the launcher isn't force closing. It will continue to run and never force close.
This thread isn't about me having a buggy phone and need to return it (though anything is possible) but it's about me thinking I have caused this issue myself by freezing something I shouldn't and now I'm getting this. At first I thought it was tsf shell so I downloaded next and froze tsf and it happened on next so I know it's not the launcher itself. Based on my thinking that it's something I froze I have since defrosted the LG home app and after a couple hours have yet to have the issue. But I'll keep this thread posted on what happens.
If someone else has had this and fixed it please post...if you are having it and didn't know what to do and you froze LG home try defrosting it and post your results. I know from experience that sometimes these phones on the stock roms can bug out when you freeze certain stock apps so I'm trying to troubleshoot. Thanks.

You obviously missed the point of my thread but thanks for the feedback.

Sounds like you froze the stock launcher and the phone bugged out. Just leave the stock launcher unfroze.. No telling how many lg system enhancements depend on it.
As for me, I never freeze apps. I just remove them using root explorer. Usually isn't hard to find out what apps are safe or unsafe to remove.

I also think it's a UI function that uses the launcher. I have not used a shell and a launcher together before but I'll try it later w/out freezing. The LG launcher.

I also find using the stock home switcher causes less problems.
