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 ; )
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

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.

Lol I did. It only changes icon color...witch did help but I'm looking for changing widget color. Any clue on what to do

i dont think you can change the color of the widgets, but there is a app for free on the market called colorize widget(i think) which has basically the exact same widgets and you can change its color also.

Do a search on the xda forums for skinned launcher pro. I'm using the semi transparent XTG launcher pro.
Chefs take the app, open it and skin it. The only downside to this is you can't auto update LP or you'll lose the skin.

Always the smart remark to go along with the help right? I already lost interest, thanks anyway
Sent from my stock 2.1 unrooted, fully bloated Fascinate

The colorize widgets are a very cheap imitation of the LP widgets. Yes they do basically the same thing, and you can pick different colors, but they feel very cheap, are hard to scroll for some reason, and just don't look as nice.

I could care less if you had interest or not, its not my work. These things aren't hard to find if you actually try.
For anyone else, enjoy it.

I recommend miui.

I always recommend PowerAmp, though it's not free. The EQ features and slick UI are worth it though.

He wants the stock one for the lockscreen and notification bar controls if only we have a widget for it can someone make a widget for the stock sanding music app

Thanks for the recommendation. I was using ADW Launcher for a while and then switched to Go Launcher and really like that one. I've never heard of Circle Launcher so I'll check it out.

I found it to be a little laggy too, and was looking for an alternative. Checked out the simi folder mentioned above and I like it a lot.

not a fan of circle launcher.

I dislike how the app is called "Circle Launcher" when it isn't actually a launcher. It basically just makes fancy folders (only using the resources of a widget), which for me, seems unnecessary.

Agreed....I use launcher pro plus, and the scrollable dock station allows me to accomplish the same taks...Only faster.

Firstly, I'd look in the manual.
However if you go to your app drawer, long press on an icon, it will take you to your homescreen, from there you can drag to your dock and drop where you want.
That's assuming you don't have a custom launcher and have changed settings to single dock.

As I am quite new maybe I do not use the right tech word. Sorry. I tried to drag and drop. From the app screen, I come ti my home screen. Ok. But when I want to put on my dock (the fix bar it just above the home button)... It becomes the litter bin and nothing. Mmhhh...

What launcher?

No launcher installed except the original one. I have gingerbread. Phone rooted, but disppearance happened before. First time when I arrive in amman and get connected there. Contacts icon gone. Then 2 others here in yemen for no reason as I was in yemen before without prblm

Sorry, I haven't used TouchWiz launcher since i was on eclair - however, by far the best advice I can give you, would be to install launcher pro or zeam free from the market.
There are many others, but these are probably the easiest. Zeam is very basic and light, lp has more features. Get them both, find which one suits you best. You won't be disappointed.

Tks for advice. I bought adw launcher. This does not answer my question but better now. Still have to fiddle with it... Best!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

You have to press the menu button while being in app drawer. then press config just as when you deinstall apps from your drawer. Now you can drag and drop whatever you want

Thank you. Will keep the tip. Btw, if I want to buy another android phone, maybe gal s2... I can move the apps or I have to buy all anew?

I wonder why not all news apps or others do not allow to access to dictionaries when u need to know meaning of one word bu long tapping on it? This would be a real plus, no?
