Absoluelty horrible Glitch on 2.2 (Please Read)

Hey guys, I found a nasty little bug that has made my epic unusable. Basically if you have all your home screen pages filled up and decide to create a shortcut of an app (in this case it was dolphin browser) from inside the app, Touch Wiz will crash no matter how many time you reboot the phone. All other programs work just fine, however touchwiz will without fail crash. I am trying to find a way around this without reflashing but it looks like that is my only option. Be warned everyone EB13 is not ready for prime time.
Edit: Found a quick work around, just install launcher pro from the market and hit the home button and switch your launcher to launcher pro. Now can anyone tell me how to switch back?

So why not use something other than tw? Why would you load up that many icons on 7 pages? Home Switcher from market...

I didnt I had 3 full pages. Also turns out even turning off touchwiz and switching back to it ruins it. Also not the appropriate place for this but isn't possible to add more homescreens to launcher pro. But thankyou for the advice.

Yes you can add screens to launcherpro by hitting (from launcherpro) menu>preferences>homescreen settngs. To fix touchwiz, hit menu>settings>applications>all, scroll down to TWlauncher cick it, and clear everything.

Sounds like a bug in Touchwiz, not Froyo.

Thank you XDA for helping me through what was pretty much me over reacting.

I would really urge you to play around with Launcher Pro for a while. Try the different settings and see what they all do. I can't imagine using Touchwiz now. I love the way launcherpro both looks and works.

Try hitting menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all.
Find twlauncher and clear data and cache. It will likely blow out anything you had on you screens but may allow you to use it again if that's what you are looking for.

TW is for folk who want their phone to feel more iOSish, and if that's what they want, meh. More power to 'em.
I used LP for a long time, but am giving Go Launcher a whirl these days. I kinda like it even more, but...
Ugh, Launcherpro has THE BEST agenda widget on Android. No free widget I've tried even comes close. Really frustrating.

Got my phone in august 31, moved to launcherpro sept 4, havent looked back either, its great, especially with the scrollable dock and all the customizations you can do!!

Meh - LP is pretty good but I suspect most people don't use most of the options, making it kind-of big. I haven't found a better option though. It's pretty darn good.

I use LauncherPro, and I have long since deleted both TouchWiz an the stock launcher from the /system/apps/ folder. It frees up a bit of space.

I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. It says it's a stable 2.3.3 with no bloatware. Sounds very intriguing...in fact so much so that I downloaded it, but have yet to flash it...lol.

Certainly tempting isn't it, is this a case of who goes first lmao, out of interest how big is it? I notice the cm7s are just over 80 mb.

Seems like a plain stock ROM, nice to see to be honest.

Noticed the same thing, but was wondering what all it supports, site doesn't say much. I.E. what kernel it has/supports, TB alert stuff like that.
Hopefully the dev comes and explains what all he's done.

Well, I flashed it, for like an hour then when back to cm7 using the recovery I made.
First thing, market didn't work.
Secondly it didn't have the extra apps cm7 has, which I expected, but I instantly missed theme chooser.
Thirdly it wiped my contacts list.

First. The market issue is probably a wipe issue as I had the same problem with two different MIUI GB ROMs.
Secondly. That would be the lack of bloatware mentioned above. It's like stock android, so not sure why you even flashed it if you wanted bloatware.
Thirdly. It didn't wipe your contact list you didn't sync with google, becaue all of your contacts are backed up there.

You know what, I knew that'd be the replies I got, to be honest I'm curious of any rom that 1might increase battery life, currently using 85% over 10hours!! And of course the dreaded wonk which is seemingly inherent with cm7.
I couldn't force Google to sync with my phone, all my contacts are stored with Google you're right there.
Btw how would I get the market back?

I think it is another keyboard app. When you go to change the keyboard, it lists something in all Asian symbols.
I just deleted it and I have not noticed any difference with how blandroid runs.

The wonk was almost fixed on latest release of cm7. If you don't have the latest version, try it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

Nearly fixed isn't fixed. The problem is really dragging out and these stock ROMs are showing that its fixed with them. Wonking isn't the only issue at the moment either. There is still problems with the sound levels after docking the phone sometimes where its maximum level is halved etc.
CM is an ace project and I truly respect the guys and their efforts behind it, but CM7 is very buggy, and when it starts to affect the ability to take calls its hard to use it.

Oh! Thx for the reply. I got scared and ran back to cm7

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

I like!
Went for this until the CM stable kills the wonk; now I may not go back. I haven't used it for long enough to know about stability. I think of it as pure AOSP, but already rooted (and a just a few essential CM goodies).

So far, I haven't found anything missing I need.
And if you want a bit more eye candy and customization, just install launcher pro or adw.launcher from the market.
I give it thumbs-up!

Things That I Noticed In the Gingerbread Leak

1. The downloads app shows up in the app drawer.
2. When holding the power button and selecting shut down, the phone is put into hibernate mode. Pressing the power button to turn it back on yields very very short 2 second boot time. Do a battery pull to compare boot times. Option to turn this off is in Setting >> Applications
3. You must do a battery pull, hold down on the volume rocker, and then power to boot up into bootloader mode.
4. The animations are much smoother and different now.
5. When you receive a new message, a green and black number notificiation shows up on the messages icon on the homescreen.
6. The phone has just overall been going quicker.
Let me know if you guys noticed anything else?

Ihtfp69 said there should be an option in the settings to turn on/off "quick boot."

Why run this Rom when cm7s been on gb for months?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App

I don't remember the original ROM having a restart option....

The "downloads" app has always been in the apps drawer on every gingerbread rom. Its a cool feature but it's useless unless you use the stock browser, I wish you could use it with any browser.
I tried CM7 a few times and it always ran like crap after about 12-24 hours and I had to take it off. I flashed OMFGB like two days ago and it runs great, except that it doesn't like to display my widgets some times (I'm using ADW EX).
I'm tempted to try out the leak, but I think I'll wait a few days until it gets tweaked more and/or has Sense >=2.0

OP, in regards to your hibernation question. There should be an option somewhere in the settings that allows you to enable/disable Fastboot. It's sort of like a hot restart.

In my experience, this leak has been running much smoother for me than CM and the battery life is better.

some people like sense over ASOP. Gingerbread and sense seems like a good combination to me

well, i noticed everything you did but one other also... NETFLIX ISNT WORKING!!!! is there any way to fix this? it doesnt seem to work with any sense+gingerbread combos as im running the Kingdom rom and it still doesnt work any ideas?

Touchdown app works, the license app doesn't which sucks, no Netflix...
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App

The leak has been great for me! Runs so much better than froyo did. Really smooth animations, and I like the fast boot option

Anyone else's Swype not working with the leak? That sucks. It does run well but I can't wait for the developers to get to work on it, and why no Sense 2.0?

sloow
I wish I knew why gingerbread/sense 3.0 is running so slow for me, Im killing off
Apps but I can barley squeeze out 100mb free memory...could this be a kernel
Holdup?

netflix seems to be having issues with other devices as well.

Something that I noticed is in froyo when I am in the messaging app and the screen times out I don't recieve notifications but I do with the update. Not sure if this is a setting I missed in 2.2 but either way I'm glad it works now.
FYI I use the stock messaging app and realize if I used Handcent it would not have been an issue but I prefer the stock app.

anyone else having an issue with Google Talk not working? It force-closes every time when trying to launch. Anybody know of a fix? Other than that, loving the Gingerbread experience so far.

Nexus s launcher

Does anyone have the actual launcher for the nexus s that doesn't look low res on eg22. I usually use the eugue373 gingerbread launcher from the market but it looks low Res for some reason. I know it was like that on ef02 and marcusant had it working correctly. Any thoughts?

There are two gingerbread launchers on the market. You might try the other one.

Just use Sprint ID. Search for the "Clean" ID and apply it. It will give you the *real* Gingerbread launcher.

No, it only gives you the gingerbread phone icon and app drawer. Id icon is still on the tab.

Bumping this.
Does anyone have a clue how to make the reg aosp launcher work correctly. Marcusant has the only rom that uses it. His Bamboozled roms use it as well and it looks great. I've even tried pulling the apk from his rom and just installing it on other ef02 eg22 roms, it works but looks like crap.

Not trying to be a troll or anything but AFAIK the only difference between the Sprint ID launcher and the standard launcher is the Sprint ID icon that cannot be changed, the menu and desktop UI is the same.

Just flashed it, very cool with 7 homescreens. Still does the same thing though. It's not super terrible looking, it's just the icons when you hit the drawer, they show up and they are like low res looking. It's been discussed before and marcusant said he knew how to fix it. I'm going to see if I can just get any info out of him on the acs forum.

Dude! Thanks you so much. Worked like a charm. Awesome.

the post says it's for 2.3.4, so i'm not sure if it works on 2.3.3... i'm in the midst of cooking up my own rom.
If someone could test and let me know, i'll probably package the launcher and 3d fix up for flashing.

Not sure. But at one point I attempted to pull the system/lib/egl folder from marcusant's anonymous i3 ROM (it had a working stock launcher) and replace it on eh06, didn't work. Ai3 was 2.3.3. But I was trying to put it in a 2.3.4 ROM. Needless to say I don't know what I'm doing. But maybe that folder from Ai3 will work do for all other ef02 roms if this zip doesn't.
Out of curiousity. Now that we have this. Does anyone a zip of the actual nexus s launcher. I'm using one I found on here but its not completely stock. When you go into landscape mode it turns into the froyo launcher.

Oh that's super weird but it makes sense cuz of the lack of a keyboard. Good stuff though.

Couple of tips.
- Don't like the Market spewing new apps on your home screen? Just disable it in the settings.
- The persistant search bar can be disabled in Trebuchet's settings.
- Nova Launcher is an alternate to Trebuchet. I'm using it. It has a couple of useful features, like grid size. You can also disable widgets in the drawer, and get your standard long-press menu back. I highly recommend doing this if you use Beautiful Widgets, as that will spam up your widget drawer. Use AppWidgetPicker 2.0 pushed to /system/app to take care of this.
- Want your 4G toggle? There's a widget for it. It'll show up in the quick panel later.
Unfortunately, the voice actions are not available as of yet. Voice Search can be downloaded from the Market, but the speech-to-text as demonstrated on the GNexus is nowhere to be seen. It's an upstream issue.

I haven't explored VVM yet, but will post when I've got something. EDIT: As of right now, VVM is just plain not happening. I switched to Google Voice, which works well at the moment.

I love it. It doesn't feel like an alpha. The only feature I hate is that the cancel and ok buttons have switched so the cancel button is now on the left side and ok is on the right side. I keep cancelling when I think I'm pressing ok because I'm used to the other way.
Not that I won't get used to it.

I think the whole launch was beautifully executed, the only thing keeping me from staying on CM9 at the moment is that I cant restore the data from my apps.

The soft keyboard is a pain and I can't figure out how to set a static IP for wifi. Battery percentage doesn't work. I like how the LED notifications are fixed and how haptic feedback is back and working way better. The ROM overall is very fast. I backed up all my apps and contacts/SMS with mybackup pro and everything works perfect! Has anybody figured out how to get visual voicemail working?
