I'm trying a couple rooting options after the 7.4.1 update, and each time, I come to the part where I have to tap the "Restore my data" option on the kindle itself. No matter what I do, that button is unresponsive. I can tap on any other option, and they work, I just can't choose the option to restore.
Anybody got any ideas on how to get past that?
We've tried with and without entering any passwords as well.

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.

I can't post links yet so check out appbrain user: ErlyD I have no launcher apps and I did try that home launcher app recommended. But still have the problem.

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.

I'm having this same issue!
I tried Home Switcher and Home Manager...same exact symptoms.

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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.

So...my Epic continually asks me to choose my default home program every time I press the home button.
It asks me to either pick HOME or TWLauncher. So I installed DxTop Pro...now I have 3 to pick from everytime!
I tried Home Switcher and Home Manager - neither of them keep the default home screen either.
It doesn't always clear the default. I have tracked it down to when I press and hold the home button down until the task manager comes up. Once those 6 most recent programs pop up...my default home screen is cleared out.
I tried downloading the samsung task manager apk that I found on xda and installing it...didn't solve the problem.
So, I open it up to you all for ideas.
I could hard reset, but I know the moment I finish setting it back up...the new official ROM will come out and I'll have to do it all again!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Uh when you choose your homescreen when it gives you the option of the three, do you make sure the check box at the bottom of the popup is checked off...?

Just checking lol. Which launcher are you trying to run as default and which ROM/Kernel/etc you running?

Sgs tools from the market will fix this.

Edit: this does require root, sorry not for stock issues.
I'm on the stock Epic ROM from Sprint. Never rooted.
I was running the default TouchWiz, but once this began I started using DxTop Pro to see if it would correct the issue...it did not.
I'm still using DxTop Pro because I liked it better.

Did you ever get a fix? I hve same problem. Since I got my epic. On 11/17 touchwiz crashed rebooted and it started. I run stock and have never even rooted. I have done nothing to this device. I'm on appbrain user ErlyD if you want to see my app list. Also tried home switcher and sgs tools (which by the way the menus last options are .prop editor, I say this cause I was told to select an option at the bottom of sgs that would fix it. An option I don't have.)
Anything would help. Starting to not like this. Its happening to often. No matter what I select home or tw and set to default. It will eventually pop up again. As for task managers I fin my self using only samsungs version to avoid any issues from popping up.

Did not work. I have started removing apps to see what might have caused it. Doing things slowly.

Is there any way to disable the slide to unlock feature and just have the pattern unlock ?
Also in this boat, searching leads to several threads like this
Yes you need to uncheck the auto launch of the play app.
I don't recall where I seen it.
I'll post when I find it.
Open the play app, push the menu button and select settings.
Then uncheck auto start.
Forget what I said.
I thout you meant when you slid the screen and not the slide bar on the screen.
There is no way that I have found.

That's where we go to set the pattern unlock, what we want to know is how to remove the slide to unlock that comes up before the pattern unlock
This needs a bump, so here it is. I'm in this boat all of a sudden because my employer enforces an entry code for devices for a corporate account. I'm getting really unhappy having to slide, enter pin every time !
Try the app "antilock"
Its free on the market and does exactly what you want, I believe. I use it myself so I don't need to slide twice as I use widgetlocker
Hope this helps!
works like a charm!
Uninstalling, sometime after turning the app on my phone started to act "funny" or erratic... After uninstall everything seems to be normal again.

Yes, I do...the stock internet app...but I am getting this on multiple apps that want access to the internet. I get the prompt that asks for me to choose the app to access the internet and the option to make the choice always or one time. If I select once, the next time I get the same prompt.
I guess that I just need to select the app I want to use and also select Always when prompted.
I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this.
Thanks for your reply.

Hey everyone, I'm not sure what's going on but every time I hit the options button (the one with the three dots) the app I'm using force closes. Its not the one at the bottom but within the app itself. I tried to send an email and when trying to go to the options to forward etc it crashes and force closes every time. I have downloaded some things but I'm not sure if xposed installer and Wakelock terminator have anything to do with it but I'm about to factory reset my phone unless someone could shed some light on the issue.
Thanks!

Any apps or modifications that you have on your phone may be messing with it. I don't know all of the specifics but I know that after I got xposed a while ago, my lock button suddenly stopped working, and then continued after I uninstalled all of the modifications and xposed. I would only use a factory reset as a failsafe plan.

I'd just titanium backup and factory reset. Or if on a OTA and don't have root, FXZ back to your firmware using keep data or universal.

Reboot your device into safe mode. If it runs fine then you have a rogue app, but if you are experiencing the same problems then do a factory reset.
Safe Mode:
Code:
Power button > Press and hold Power Off > Ok
