I do not have it rooted, nor do I have a 3rd party launched on there, I downloaded a text widget app which I believe may have something to do with why its doin this because it only started doing it when I tried to apply the widget to one of my screens, I have also tried to turn of off and then it back on but no luck.
Can anyone tell me there is a wah to access the apps and they to delete it by pluging it in and doing it that way? Would really hate to have to recover to a previous version
I don't quite understand what is going on. Does your launcher force close only when you try to put the widget on the screen, or does it force close on booting now?
If it is just when you put the widget on the screen, then there is something wrong with that widget and you can just uninstall it.
Sorry,no it does it now even when I boot

What app or widget?
I think it was literally called text widget, it was 4 stars and had over 10,000 dls so I didn't think anything about t I guess
this is the app I dl'd
https://market.android.com/details?...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50VGV4dCJd
well I was able to get it fixed by just spamming the settings button and was able to get to the applications and manually un-install it

Large widgets seem to make my Launcher FC.
Anyone have widgets that take up the entire screen? or half screen?
After a few minutes of the phone being off, if I try to move the large, even to just delete it off the screen, I get a force close.
Anyone else getting a FC?
Make sure the widgets you're using are fully compatible with Android 2.1. Does this only occur when you are using widgets?
Anyone with over 60 apps/widgets?
can't really put my finger on it. I wiped and started all over. I did things little by little and everything was great, until I put on a calander widget. I took that one out and it was back to normal. Now I just finished installing a bunch of free apps from the market (non widgets) and just got a force close with the phone just sitting around, then I clicked on my photo widget (a slide show widget that takes up the entire screen) and got an immediate force close as well. I've deleted a bunch of apps, and I am down to about 58 apps and no force closes.
I've got about 51 apps and no more force closes so far.
Too many apps maybe? anyone else have 5 screens worth of widgets and icons, with over 60 apps, getting any force close while trying to move a widget? or just FC in general?
No one with a launcher force closing on them?
Use the facebook app. sign in and everything and place the widget on one of your screens (mine is on the last to the left) then turn off the screen for a few minutes. When you wake your phone up and try to move the widget, the launcher should force close.
Mine is consistantly doing it now. It seems widget 2x4 and up give me the same problem.
Anyone else?
Yes there are 2 threads, this one was started before I figured out the why, the other is regarding the why. I'm just updating this one to be on the same page, hopefully this is an isolated incident with my phone that just needs some TLC to fix and not an android bug...

Anyone found a way to get rid of the annoying motoblur with out bricking their phone with the new froyo update?
I haven't poked at it too much, I just installed a different homescreen app, removed all of the Social apps, and removed all of the apps with blur widgets. Phone seems to be much faster, so I haven't gone further at the moment.

Which blur widgets are you speaking of?
I don't have a full list offhand, but I'm sure I'll break something and need to reflash, and I'll keep track of exactly what I've been removing... I know stickynotes was one, and the toggle widgets for wifi/etc that I can't recall the name of. I get rid of Phone Portal, as well, as I never use it.
I used the latest version of super one click (2.1.1) to root my phone then followed this thread to remove bloatware and motoblur.
androidforums*com/flipside-all-things-root/345440-how-root-uninstall-bloatware-de-activate-moto-blur-motorola-flipside*html
BUT what they don't tell you and what I had to learn the hard way was doing this also removes the default launcher. I rebooted my phone and the screen was completely black I could only see/use the status bar. After a few mins of panic I found out I could pull up voice command by double tapping the home button and using the command "go to market place" downloaded go launcher ex and was set to go. I would recommend installing this before removing the bloatware and motoblur to avoid this problem I had.
Did you do this to a flipside running the 2.2 upgrade?

Try a master reset
Solved, have no idea how. Installed nova launcher, didn't liked, uninstall the app and the icon disappeared.
Looks just like your launcher experienced some weird error and resulted in a graphical artifact. Not common but also not entirely rare. It typically corrects itself if you just force close and start the launcher again. Or just reboot.
Since you uninstalled the launcher altogether, that works too.
Sorry if this has been addressed, but the search function in XDA has been down for the last couple of days. I have a problem when I turn on my phone from the lock screen, the Accuweather widget will display "Restart Widget, Problem loading widget". Not a big deal as it has a button to easily do that, but it can be restarted, I can lock the phone, and 5 seconds later unlock it and it will display this. It doesn't do it all of the time, but probably half of the time. It will do it with the normal widget and the transparent one as well. I don't think it's the widget because I have other widgets (like a kill apps button that will display the text "Ending All Applications" and it won't work all of the time either. I never noticed this before I rooted my phone. I have an AT&T S4 with MF3 firmware. This happens while on stock or custom roms also. Anyone have any similar happenings or suggestions to help?

I had the exact issue just a day or two ago - I just got annoyed and totally uninstalled the widget, restarted the phone, reinstalled the widget and haven't had a problem since. Give that a shot if you haven't?

I'm currently on the stock rom and opened up Titanium Backup to uninstall it. It wasn't named SamsungWidget_Weather as I would have expected. Can you let me know the name of the app that you uninstalled? I'll give your suggestion a try.

I uninstalled that [the native weather widget with stock ROM] and this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.accuweather.android
Hi guys,
I had been scouring the internet looking for how to setup the stock lock screen on the ZF2 because I hated those 3 bubbles for camera, phone and messaging on the front screen and had no success.
Turns out there is a simple box you have to uncheck to get the stock lock screen working
Go to Settings>Lock screen> and uncheck "Quick access"
I feel really dumb because its been bothering me for more than a month now but I hope this helps anyone else who has this issue!
You can also change the apps that get accessed by clicking on "Quick access" instead of clicking the "on/off" switch.
so is it necessary to make a thread about this easy setting?
you can easily find all tips and tricks about zenfone 2 on YouTube, you can find many videos named "things you need to know after buying asus zenfone 2"., you can find many useful tips and tricks in this forum as well...
Freezing the ASUS weather app makes it even more like stock too. Shame you can't center the clock on the slide lockscreen.
With weather app frozen:
Edit: Actually, after rebooting this removes the clock from the lockscreen completely.
you can also delete "lockscreen" from /system/app. This will give you the real aosp lock screen

I tried to delete it but get "permission denied". If I freeze the ASUS lockscreen system app, I still get the same lockscreen anyway.

Fitst of all you need to be rooted, secondly you need to use a file manager like root explorer or root browser to mount rw, but freezing will result in the same thing anyway

I'm trying to freeze it, but I can't find it in Titanium Backup. Is there another app I can use to freeze it, or is it called something weird?

How does the AOSP lockscreen look? I did this on my old phone once, the lockscreen ended up not being worth it. (Buggy/frequent crashes when inputting PIN)

So I froze that, but my lockscreen didn't change, even after a reboot. I was hoping the lockscreen would be AOSP so that I can set 5 or 6 app shortcuts in there (via GravityBox). What am I doing wrong? Do I need to go into the file system and delete stuff?
With the ASUS lockscreen app frozen I get no change whatsoever in the appearance of the lockscreen (still has the off-centre ASUS Clock/Weather widget and swipe to unlock). With the weather app frozen I get a blank lockscreen with swipe to unlock.
i tried different lockscreens from playstore.for me hi locker is the best
Use hi locker its far better lockscreen than native lollipop or zen ui 's

How do you remove default lock screen? There's no none option only swipe.
EDIT: Never mind, just had to remove guest user.
