Disappearing Home Screens

For the last week, everything on my home screen has been disappearing. Sometimes my apps and widgets will there, but usually they won't. If anyone has any tips/suggestions I would appreciate it.

U need to give more info than that to be helped. Did u put apps on the sd card?

I had this happen to me before too, shortly after I installed Launcher Pro. It was happening on the stock launcher (icons disappearing from the home screen). After I installed a 3rd launcher, ADWLauncher, everything seemed to finally work again. FWIW.

TouchWiz in Landscape mode?!

Well, I this bought this cellphone a few months ago, and today I tryed a new Launcher. In the Android Market I downloaded the Launcher Pro (free version) and the Zeam Launcher.
So, after install they, I long-pressed in TouchWiz homescreen and selected the "Actives", with a home icon. I selected this and appeared a black screen. I just used 'back' button and for my surprise the TouchWiz was in landscape view!
I don't know at all, but isn't possible, right?
Now, everytime I put the phone on horizontal in TW the screen become in landscape.
It's a bug or it's normal?
P.S.: And sorry for my english lol

I installed the launchers, just it.
I think Launcher Pro caused this.

Disappearing apps and widgets

Hi there, so I have some annoying problems.
1. I have installed some clock widgets, about 3-4. But they are not showed in widgets list. But they are normally installed. I can see only when I uninstall and again install them.
2. There are also some disappearing apps in app drawer, for example "Buka lite", "VPlayer Advanced" etc. Sometimes they appear but after some time they again disappear ...

oops I hit thanks instead of reply lol
Anyway, if you move apps to sd widgets disappear.
They have to stay in internal memory

Yes, I tried that but nothing happens. After reboot are the widgets back and they are still available, so I guess the widgets problem si solved.
And the disappearing apps - I tried GO Launcher instead of the stock launcher, and yet it seems to be alright.
Thanks for the reply, the problems are solved

Sometime SD may not properly mount which may cause the problem you had.

Could just need the simple icon size adjustments in adw?
" once its gone,its GONE."

Well I use go launcher and I have the option to turn off the names under them, so is it possible you've click on a similar setting in adw?

I checked everything on ADW,nothing works.how to take screenshot ?

Depends what cyanogenmod you have. If you have 7.1.0.1 then hold the down the power button and select screen shot. If not then you'll need a screen shot app

Ohh thank you so much. You guys are wonderful. I did something and now the icons are showing in full.
Is it possible to have live animated wallpapers as background on home screen ?
if yes, will that slow the entire phones operation.
The reason i'm asking is this
I tried overclocking and after reboot the phone was working ok,but i don't notice any faster than before.

Well when you overclocked did you select the "Set at boot" checkbox because else when you reboot the phone slows back to default speeds. Also, to enable live wallpapers long-touch a blank space in the home screen and touch "wallpapers">"live wallpapers" to select one. The default "nexus" one works fine with little lag for me on the overclock settings shown in my signature

Thank you so much Matt.
The overclocking is now working good,yes i didn't ticked the CPU set at boot. ON live wallpaper-- when i click live wallpaper all i see is google maps. and nothing else on the list.
I guess i have to get a seperate live wall paper.
Do i need to reboot my phone to make the CPU overclock settings to be implemented ?.
Thanks once again.

[Q] Widget freeze ISSUES(N9005, XXUBMJ1)

Hi, I changed my phone from Note2(N7105) to Note3(N9005).
I always use SwitchPro and Zooper Widget.
But this two widgets are freezing just within 5~10mins after restarting.
Widgets are stop so does not working.
It happenes both of Original Firmware(XXUBMJ1, CSCLBBMI3) and after de la Vega root.
Is there anybody happening same issue like me?
And is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks before!

I am facing the same issue. I have the middle east firmware and my wedgets are freezed untill I restart my note 3. Can any body help? Knowing that I had formated the device and work again from begining. And still the issue is the same.

same here

it's not the widgets that hanged, it's touchwiz (Or maybe some widgets are hanging touchwiz)
Go to application manager and force stop touchwiz, this will restart the launcher and the widgets will work again

I've been using same widgets for 2 years now. Never ever had this issue on Note 2 with stock roms.
Ever since I bought Note 3 this issue affects every single launcher that I've tried so far. If the widgets somehow affected launcher somehow, it would affect it on Note 2.
My suspicion is it due to some kind of security and/or memory manager that kills off widgets after a certain time or amount of ram used. Perhaps that piece of software is exactly the same as on note 2, but not aware of the fact that this phone has more memory and if used 1.9gb it's not 95% of total ram.

The only solution I've found for this is to install Auto Memory Manager and under running processes list, select Touchwiz Home and select Keep Alive Always.
