TouchWiz won't stay on by default!

Randomly when I hit the home buttn I am prompted with the option touchwiz or home. I can pick either on while checking the load default and it still asks again a few min later. What am I missing?

That's a first, never had that happen.
Have you recently installed any User interface programs like ADW launcher or launcher pro?
How about any programs in general.. please be a little more specific.
Welcome to the forums!

It only happens to me when I hold the home botton and bring up the task manager. When I hit the home botton again it prompt me to choose the launcher.

Try getting home switcher from the market and tell it to set touchwiz home as you default. See if that works.

I Will try and load my appbrain list but no to launchers. Just goole stuff and a couple widgets.

Sgs tools and you go to the bottom menu and choose which launcher you want and bam! Launcher is set to default. I'm using 2.2 quantum and confirm it works.

Does my epic have to be rooted? I ran the app and set it yet still get the problem. It randomly asks when I hit home. Each time I set default then select touchwiz.

Will factory reset help with this problem? What other way can I reset clean?

Download sgs tools from market. Install. Go to bottom menu upgrade stock apps, then choose laucner you want and follow instructions from there, easy fix.

Edit: this only works on rooted phones, I'm sorry if I miss read the problem.

Bottom option is:
.prop editor

I've looked over SGS Tools, over and over again. I do not understand where the option to make this fix is.
Could you give more specific instructions? Thanks!

Same here only .prop editor do we have to be rooted? To use this correctly?

I think I got a fix. I went to manage apps and cleared defaults on touchwiz but also cleared tw data. It sucked cause my icons and everything else I took the time to setup cleared but after rebuilding it seems to be working. Been about an hour now and the menu hasn't popped up.

Sorry guys I must have been way too blazed I swear I read that you guys had the froyo beta and had this problem, as I did have this issue. But it seems some of you are dealing with this on stock, without root and this will only work if you have root.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I believe that this issue is related to the installation of a certain application. As a matter of fact, I uninstalled several applications after going on a few downloading sprees (yeah, I get bored and have money burning a hole in my PayPal account) in hopes of fixing the issue, to no avail.
Otherwise, could it possibly be related to a glitch caused by setting a certain number of icons or widgets on the homescreen, causing the launcher's data to interfere with its default settings?
Either way, I took ErlyD's advice, cleared the data, and will rebuild my homescreens in hopes it won't happen again. Or else I will figure out what causes it.

I would love to follow his advice, but TouchWiz isn't listed in my manage applications list...what the heck!
Actually, none of the stuff that came installed is listed....nascar, amazon, etc.
Where do I find these?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Okay...found it via running programs.
Cleared data.
Didn't solve my problem.
Crap.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

It failed. Sorry for the trouble it lasted longer than before though. I went a few hrs before it popped up. I am going to have to start uninstalling apps to see what happens.

OK
try to install go contacts.apk from the market, after installation finnish

OK
i like them, so i want to backup them, but when i try to backup, i find just the original apk i've installed from the market( go contacts.apk )
i hope i make it clear for u

You want to backup your original phone /contacts apps? They are in /system/app folder.
Go contacts and phone app will be in /data/app folder if you install it from market ( under the name com.jbapps.contact-1.apk )

It sounds like camera.apk
Usually I have 2 icons for it. The camera and the camcorder.
But on some ROMs, the camcorder icon disappears and it's just not there.
But if you use ADW I found a way to make the shortcut.
1. Long press the homescreen and select Custom shortcut
2. Click Pick your activity
3. Click Activity (second item - it has an ADW icon)
4. Scroll down to Go Contacts and expand it - there should be a list of activites that Go Contacts performs.
5. On the regular contacts.apk in CM6, I just made a phone shortcut by selecting Phone(Dialtacts.Activity)
If you scroll down to Settings, there are lots of shortcuts you can make.
I made one for Testing and Battery history (the one that spare parts accesses)

I believe what he wants is:
1) change the Go Contacts / Dialer with the stock app
2) be able to backup both Go Contacts / dialer
Like Zeppe said, Go contacts is one apk with 2 activities. So backing up one will back up both.
Now im not so sure about replacing this with stock contact / phone apk.
Will make a test later and let you know.

ok
1 app with 2 activities
can i backup ( 2 activities ) each one alone ?
thanx again

No dude. When you backup the apk you backing up it all. Depending on the app you are using for bkp, you might choose apk only or apk + data.

As the others have said, this one app will have two icons (one for Dialer, one for Contacts). They both open the same program, but display different screens. If you want to only show one icon, you can hide the other one by using a custom launcher like LauncherPro. The you can hide either of the icons and the program will still work normally.

[Q] Save icons order

Hi guys. We are in times of crazy rom updates, and when you update making a wipe, one of the big problems is you lose the icons order in the app list. I don't mean to icons in the home/launcher else icons in the general list of apps.
I know how to save the home icons and widgets disposition but is there any way to save/backup the order of the app list? I don't like alphabetical order or things like that, i personalize myself and is a pain in the ass do it every time i do i wipe to upgrade a rom.
I have been searching in the forums but didn't find anything.
Thanks

please anybody?

This would be amazing!
But in the meantime I normally screenshot every page before updating and save then onto the pc then I copy the order, it's not great but it works for now
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Yep, but the order has to be saved in some system file, it must be there. It's annoying no one knows what file is :-(

the icon order and page layouts are stored in the app data of TwLauncher. you can backup its data with titaniumbackup and restore it later on. but be adviced that there might be side effects when restoring the data of an older rom in a new one.

i guess you need to restore it after you restored all apps. if you restore the apps later on, their position won't be the same. at least i don't recall any problems with the applist order on my phone, and i make heavy use of folders.

I think it does, because when I wipe TwLauncher data the icon layout is lost and when I restore it they are where I put them. Maybe if TwLauncher is different between the roms it does not work? Anyway, the layout must be somewhere in the appdata, I think it is in the launcher.db file (/data/data/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/databases/launcher.db), you can view it with Root Explorer's internal SQL viewer -> menu_item
Good luck!

Hmm... this seems strange. I've done the exact same thing and haven't lost my folders and icon order through three rom updates. Just make sure you backup the data of "TwLauncher" in Titanium before you flash. On restore make sure you only restore data for TwLauncher and as heldchen said restore all your apps first.
P.S.: Just to be on the safe side: you do mean the order of the icons in the app drawer and not something else?

[Q] QuickContact component missing

Hi, I'm using miroslav_mm SDSL 3.0 rom ad I'm having an issue with widget that use quickcontact. I'm using GO SMS Pro widget that shows the contact portrait received SMS's. When the portrait is clicked a quickcontact bar should pop up with shortcuts to call, send SMS or edit the contact but instead a pop out the following message: 'QuickContact component cannot be found in your system'. The same happens with GO Contacts widget.
Anyone knows how to get this working because on Google Play, GO SMS or even GO Contacts widgets say that this is working on Android 2.1 or later so should be working on 2.3.7...

Man, I'm always flashing new roms, now I'm experimenting leoposas zoe 2.0 rom, it's basically sdsl but with some tweaks of his... and when i say i'm always flashing new roms i mean backup contacts & sms, factory reset, format system+boot and then flash new rom. Basically cleanest flash is impossible

I've figured it out, quickcontacts component is embedded on contacts.apk, i'm using go contacts so i uninstalled the stock one.

Messaging Pop-Up - Not showing up anymore

So i just noticed that with the stock LG messaging application i am not getting the pop-up quick reply. I'm assuming it has something to do with something i froze in titanium backup however instead of going through each one one by one and going through a bunch of test text messages to figure it out i'm turning to the community.
Does anyone know which service allows the pop-up to happen?
Thanks!

I don't always get it, either. Seems to only pop up if I'm on my home screen. Been meaning to ask a few friends to text me back so I can test it out.

That's how it is suppose to work, however that has stopped working for me hence the post

Well I unfroze everything & still not working dyes I have the option set to yes. Only things I've done is flash stock browser and installed an old apk of Google Talk as I didn't like Hangouts.
I think maybe something with the Google Talk install did it. Looks like I'll have to restore to a backup.
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app

Mine stopped working as well. Did everyone here install GMD Auto Hide?

i used TWRP to do a factory wipe and it fixed it. Restored my backup and wasn't there. Yes i installed gmd auto hide.

I think GMD is breaking the pop up. Oh well.. I rather not have those ugly software buttons than have the message pop up.
