So since upgrading to 2.1 I have been messing with a few different things seeing if there is a way to get livewallpapers installed. What I am wondering is there a way currently to get a 2.1 launcher installed on the eris with 2.1 or whatever is needed for the livewallpapers?
I have tried to use the current livewallpapers.apk on the Eris and it will install but I can't find them in the system to use them. I think we will have to port them over to the Eris in order for them to show up in the wallpaper gallery.
you will also need to install livewallpaperpicker along with launcher2.
Forget about installing launcher2 (at least the one from DroidLife), it causes FC loop that you need to pull your battery to get out of.

Yeah! That could be why the launcher is FCing. Try live walls and launcher 2 together. Someone with 2.1! I didn't want to update.

Hello,
I am currently using Tainted Vanilla. It has the stock lockscreen with a transparent background. How can I change it to a non-transparent background? Thanks.
I would suggest searching before you ask. There are threads about this already. It involves flashing new files and maybe some adb stuff if I remember correctly. Check the themes section or over in the hero cdma section if you're using a sprint based rom. A google search will more than likely turn up multiple threads on multiple forums.

You know, I did alot of searching on google and on this forum and cant find anything that is helpful. I am hoping someone knows how to change the nexus one lockscreen from transparent to non transparent.
I did find one zip with a lockscreen and a background but could not flash it. Anyone have the vanilla or nexusone lockscreen with a nontransparent background?

That one is the same one as the one he's using, it's just a patch to remove the HTC lockscreen. You can even see in the picture on the first post that it's transparent. It seems to work with EE with a background but its those stupid rendered grey blocks and you cant change them. DianeofArcadia found that picture in the system files but it cant seem to be modified to make it a different wallpaper. I asked the devs a few weeks ago and none of them seemed interested in helping figure it out and I dont know enough so if you find something let me know.
I flashed a hero theme over my aloysius rom that have the lockscreen a solid black background. I did read a site that has a method for making a background picture work. It pertains to the hero so I don't know if it would work for your vanilla rom. I just flashed a new rom so I don't have my bookmarks right now but I'll post a link tomorrow afternoon.
I figured google would turn up some results but maybe it's not as popular a topic as I thought. Sorry if I came off like a jerk
i'm also looking for this or a lockscreen that works with tainted that has the all the text removed. ex, carrier, clock, date.
Okay guys, this is what I found. Keep in mind that this is for the hero cdma so I have no idea if it will work for u guys, I haven't tried it myself, just sharing what I found.
Heres the link specifically for the wallpaper:

Here is the original thread, there are some neat things like removing text:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665652
Once again, I don't know if this will work for you but it's all I could find. looks like quite an undertaking, if you guys get it to work let me know I haven't had time to play for a couple of weeks.
AFAIK, the Heroc fixes will not work on Eris roms. Don't ask me why, but that's from my experiences.
Thanks for the information rentjr, at least now some might have an understanding of why it is being so hard to change and maybe we can come up with something. ???
thread should be moved to Themes and Apps

yeah, i love the eclair lockscreen. back before root and these mods started coming out, I used lockbot pro to get the eclair lockscreen. lockbot pro will let you put a background though, as an alternative you could try that. I found it a little laggy for my taste but it might be good for others
I was on LauncherPro when I was running Darky Extreme Edition V9.5 and have a lot of problem with crash and hang. I thought it was the problem with Darky Extreme Edition V9.5. A few days ago I upgrade to Juwe's Smart Edition base on GB and install launcherpro and have the same problem. It crash and rebooted once, and I have message from Launcherpro everytime I reboot my SGS telling me that LauncherPro has crash and I have weird problem like widgets not starting.
I am on Darky Extreme Edition V10.1 and decided not to use LauncherPro and try out Go Launcher and so far i haven't have any hang or crash anymore.
Anyone having problem with LauncherPro crashing and hang? Might want to try out other launcher.
I´ve used all the roms that you mention plus a lot more, and never had a single problem with LP.
Same here. Latest LP hangs on my XWJVH. With TW I have no problems at all.
I have used LP forever but now it hangs.

First of all, are you using legal / free, market copy of launcher pro?
Did you try to clear data in LP?
Is this is the only launcher you have?
What widgets do you have on your screen?
For me it's just a corrupted data problem. Fresh install (with no data / no backup restore) should solve the problem.
Absolutely. Go Launcher EX includes all the features you're used to from LP and ADW plus a bit more. Also it's free and really smooth. I don't regret the swith to Go EX, although I paid for LP and ADW EX. The only thing that was missing is LPs Bookmarks Widget but I installed Colorize Widget instead.
LP has given me problems for months now. Fresh flash, fresh install, clear data and cache. I've had problems with the dev quite alot on multiple issues. Zeam and Go are what I switch between now. No problems, just miss lp's widgets.
I find it hard to believe, that we all have the same phones, same copy's of app, and yet not for all of us it works. Well, maybe not that hard to believe, but after fresh flash mentioned above? Srsly?

This just confirms that issues are not generated by hardware. And I don't believe that app don't work on fresh rom with clean install from market. I'm trying to imagine all the noobs that have no issues...

This is my first android phone. I didn't know there was a lag with efs until I switched to ext4. Example of noob naivity
I've had the same problems with LauncherPro, however in my case they were surely caused by some of my "optimization"-attempts.
This weekend I decided to play around with my system again (Tweaky ROM 4.1), thereby surely reverting some of the changes I have made before and voila! No more lags.
Unfortunately I no longer recall what exactly I have changed (mostly I did app-housekeeping), however the bottom line is that the the lag is gone without flashing a new ROM.
been using LP with darky's 10.1 for like 3 days and no probs so far....
will keep you guys posted if something comes up
Possible solution
Hi guys, I think I found the solution (for me). I had the same problem, after restard, force close and I had to wait for like a minute for Launcher Pro to respond. I have TitaniumBackup Pro so I used the "make system app" for the LauncherPro and uninstalled the included in the rom one. So it worked. You could give it a try, because for me clearing cache and other propositions didn't work
There is somewhere an fix for that. I could not find it anymore.

The rom hasn't made any difference with this issue, but for the sake of information, I'm currently running GalaxyTask 14 full with ADW ex launcher. I love this launcher, but every time I restore with titanium after changing roms, all of my widgets break. I have to delete all of them off the screen and then re-add them. Is there some type of fix for this issue?

Mmmm...It's always been like this for me both on my phone and tablet. I'd feel like an idiot if someone posted here saying that there is indeed a way to restore widgets properly because I've been using ADW for a loooong time. O.O
Ive never tried it since I like to re install everything clean, try using the backup and restore settings in ADW, backup ADW settings and backup desktop configuration, they get saved to the SD card though so make sure you have a copy on your puter or on your external SD
When you make a backup to adw settings you get a message which says "due to android limitations it is not possible to save Widgets" or something... so there is not a solution. Been using adw since 2.1, but never used it on the tab though...

And there goes my suggestion
just put this line at the bottom of build.prop file (under /system/)
Code:
#force launcher into memory
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
reboot -> profit
the redraw/lag basically caused by Android auto kill program to free memory, when memory is low android kills the idle tasks/apps.
This line basically just force your launch in memory, prevent the auto kill process accidently killed the launcher hence the launcher don't need to redraw/reload after you exit some memory hog apps.
enjoy this simple fix
If you experiencing anything you don't like after this fix/tweak, you can always delete this line and reboot to revert back the original state.
I just posted today about this issue. God it bugs me. I'm not rooted, so I can't do this. But I really don't think I SHOULD need to do this with 1 gig of ram! The funny thing is that this has ONLY happened on LB1, I didn't have this on ANY Of the other ROMs I've used. Strange.

maybe you consider rooting ? Zerg root don't increase count nor yellow triangle and easily undone.
roots really open up the possibility in Android but it's personal preference tho, so it's all up to you
Note has 1GB ram but only has 800 something after OS and stuffs and usually left 300-400MB free ram after cold boot.
if you have A LOT of apps installed and running in background. really doesn't surprise me left 1xx MB of free ram after few hours of use.
I didn't have any launcher redraw before ICS leak + nova launcher too but it does have now ,so needed the solution
I use GoLauncher and there is a setting that allows the launcher to stay in memory called "System Persistent". I believe ADWLauncher and LauncherPro also have a similar setting. It sounds like your tweak would not be necessary for these launchers.
After I edit this and reboot, the build.proc seems to be reverted to the original file. Does anyone know why it's doing that?
I have CF-root with AbyssNote 4.2 kernel if this matters.

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to edit it in the beginning. I also double checked that it's been saved by reopening it. But somehow it gets reverted back when I reboot.
Wow!!!
This worked for me on both Adw and Go Launcher.
After adding the script, no more lag or redraw with the launchers.
Thanks.

i have same pb in ics rom with lpY samsung note ics stock root.
i modifie my build and i have same pb grrr
have you other solution ?
Same problem here, fix didn't work sigh..I have posted in apex thread and emailed dev for advice. Any other help would be appreciated! (only happens with APEX and no other launcher)
I have been having serious lag in Apex when screen rotates..seems worse lately and it looks like im gonna have to find another launcher
I have just tried FTL Launcher, it is extremely fast !
I had the same slowdowns when I was using an app (like Gtalk for instance) and then used the home button to return to the desktop. I fiddled around and also "Keep in Memory" option of Apex and although it seemed to work, the problem came back.
In the end I decided to freeze the TwLaucher and I never had the problem again. Octavian90 tried this but so far didn't help
So no clue on what is buggin' Apex

worth considering as a replacement if only it was possible to use 7 icons in the dock (I know, I only have been using it since Apex, but I love it! It will be hard to go back to 5, just as it would be hard to go back to a phone with <5.3" screen )
Weird thing is, Apex launcher is keep itself in memory just ok, but widgets seems to be reloading and redrawing every time i exit from other full screen aps.
Is there a way to fix it?
After applying this..i got soft brick.. Can't boot. And someone said its because of Wrong permissions on the file.
Reflashed my gb Rom on pc odIn and Redo all my rooting procedure.

I know this thread is old, but this might help others who, like me, have come to it late.
I had the same problem – rebooted and the line wasn’t there. Fix it by installing Build Prop Tweaker (I have Pro, but should be OK with Lite), get to the prop tweaks (icon, bottom right) and scroll to Launcher Tweak, open and click ‘Add’
Seeder and Optimus for Root are pretty useful apps for this issue.
