[Q] Disappearing Icons

I have a couple of icons that I have to keep adding back on my widgets because they r disappearing!!! Does anyone know why this is happening and what can I do to fix this issue? I am not rooted, just got the device yesterday!!! Pls Help
Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab
PRL ver:60674
HW Ver:SPH-P100.08
Firmware ver:2.2

It's probably a bug with Touchwiz and froyo. If your app is installed on the SD card,(which happens automatically if the program has the api) the homescreen shortcut disappears after a reboot. My initial workaround was to move the apps back to phone, but I noticed that the problem went away when I installed LauncherPro. I suggest you install a different homescreen launcher as a fix. You're not going to miss anything from Touchwiz anyway.

I'm using ADW Launcher EX and I'm having the same issue every now and then. I might try Launcher Pro.

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!!

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!
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.

[Q] ICS Launcher

So today I was browsing the Google Play store and I found this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.SyndicateApps.ICSv2
Has anyone from here tried this and is it any good? Hopefully it can't brick the phone, right?

So when it force closes, where does that lead you? Back to default SGY theme?

Just used it if u like don't used it if I don't like
But I tell u this app eat too much ram
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

Just did a try with "Go Launcher EX" and "ICS Theme Go Launcher EX". The menu was white and the text wasn't visible, just the app icons.

yeah I tried it
its nice and looks like ics, but there is a problem in the labeles of the applications in the app drawer
n its slow
if u want ics theme, crack adw launcher ex and download ics theme.

Or just get Phoenix launcher. Still under development but looks great already. And the widget tab in the app drawer actually works.
