What rom are u using.
I don't think it has anything to do with adw
I am using ADW EX 1.0 and don't have any issues like that... Are you using an 'auto brightness' setting or manual?
Im using cm6.1.1
..I restored to stock cm6.1.1 and still does it

Ok so I went back to normal adw launcher and it doesnt do the screen flicker! So I think its something in ex..

I've had issues with ADW EX, some were minor and others were a pain. Anyway, I honestly don't think it's adw 100% but I do think there may be some small bugs that normally are fine but under the right conditions present themselves. How do you have it installed? In /data or in /system with launcher2 (or regular adw) deleted?

I just downloaded it and set it as default..

Hmm, could be an issue with adw but it seems like it's being caused by another app that isn't playing well with adw ex. It happens and the only way to find out is to uninstall apps one at a time until it stops happening. Or just not use it.
Ahh man I hope I figure it out

hi, im perm rooted with s=off and a clockwork recovery, when ever i default a launcher with the app "home switcher" it never sticks. i was wondering if anyone else has the same problem
Home switcher says right in the download that it doesn't work with Froyo... however, it does work with some ROMS better than others as I've been playing with on my Evo for about 4 months. Sometimes it acts just like you describe. Sometimes it lets me actually stick with a default. Blame the author... he isn't updating it.
Oh wow thanks I didn't even see that lol but yeah I switched to homeshack and it works!

Actually, it does work with Froyo even though it says that in the Market (that's probably the official line, so we can't ***** about it). If you read comments & online there are plenty confirmed working w/Froyo.
I had it on my MT4G and it worked fine until I permrooted w/S=OFF. Now any time the phone restarts I have to choose the default launcher again.
So, OP is correct, but since it's officially not supported... Glad you found an alternative.
oops didnt refresh page before posting
Fyi, I've tried Home Manager and it doesn't stick either.

Home Switcher has an app made for Froyo (HomeSwitcher for Froyo) I use it and it works very good. There is an added step to take before it sticks but it never fails.
Why do you need a home switcher? Its not hard to change defaults through your settings.

Can you explain a little more? What are you looking for it to have?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Well at the bottom of the homescreen there is like a taskbar that has four apps . Gtalk, dialer, browser ,and email. I want to personalize the apps to stuff that I use more. Like market, sms, etc.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
To change the bottom dock you can download a different launcher from the market. I'd recommended Launcher Pro, or ADW. I personally recommend Launcher Pro. You can customize the homescreens and the dock itself.
Hey thanks, launcher pro did the trick! I wanted the 3d app drawer so that worked out very well!!

No problem, glad to help!
Every time I click home, I get the loading and the screen takes a minute to load up. Its not too long, but its annoying enoug. Does anyone have a solution? Thanx

Get rid of Sense launcher. Use LauncherPro, ADW or GoLauncher.

I'm on CM7 so I don't have Sense anymore. When I did I would get that loading screen frequently. Not sure about the Desire port fixing it but if you haven't tried it yet and like Sense then you should def give it a try.

I just flashed desire z rom, the problem is gone. I am glad because I love sense, and its got lots of compatibility and skins and bhtc account. Its amazing but stock is still bad

That's not really a solution.
I never had that happen, ever, on any sense rom. Sounds like there is a lot going on in the background.

I disagree it's not a solution, it is a possible solution. It's a round about way of saying that the launcher itself is slow loading, and that a different launcher will alleviate the problem.
You're assuming the launcher is slow loading for other reasons then that it just is. It certainly won't hurt to try a different launcher and see if that fixes the issue the OP has.
I am an app dev, not a hacker but i noticed between dz software and shift software, the same loading screen happens whenever you change themes. So many htc took a shorcut and made the launcher occasionally reload the sense "theme" i would not know how to fix this in the stock roms but, thats information i do have.

Could be that you just have too many widgets on your homescreen that it reloads every time you press home.

There's an app on the market called Iclone, its an iPhone launcher like replacement.
It's not free, but can be found free on certain forums

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!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.
