Launcher Pro is by far my favorite launcher application but I have noticed a few bugs with it on my Vibrant lately. I know it's Launcher Pro causing them because my device doesn't duplicate them when running stock TouchWiz or ADW Launcher.
Bug #1 - When activating GPS it causes the entire phone to freeze and sometimes restart.
Bug #2 - Sometimes apps will not launch at all until I reset my device. If I click on a app it closes will open and close within 1 second.
Has anyone else experienced these bugs?
Been using LP for a few weeks now and haven't noticed either of those bus. In fact, LP has given me no problems at all.
I've had LauncherPro installed since the day I purchased my phone in mid-July. Experienced none of these bugs. I don't think it's LP-related on your end.
The dialer also does not connect to an in call dialer. If you get a phone call and exit out of the dialer, you cannot get back to that dialer. When you click your dialer application, it gives you a fresh dialer acting like no one is connected.

If you pull down on the notification bar, and then press on the green phone icon, it will take you back to your call that is already in progress.
I'm using launcher pro and I've also experienced both of the issues mentioned in the OP. I've been using LP almost since day one, so I can't say whether or not they're LP bugs specifically. The app launching issue I've noticed more with Handcent than any other. On the GPS issue, I don't have any of the "fixes" applied, so it's not that. I'm thinking about reloading a completely stock ROM to see if that might fix it.

I understand this, but the dialer application should work. Thanks for the tip though.

i like launcher pro, but it makes my vibrant noticeable slower than the tw launcher.
LP since July 15th... absolutely no issues.
what other things have you done to the phone? Rom? Lag Fix? Etc?

I'm still on the stock rom. No lag fixes, gps fixes, etc. It's rooted, but that's about it.

I have also had these happen but just with lp. Since the last update I haven't experienced them again. At least for now.

I don't notice any bugs with LP but I mostly use the stock launcher. Just not a fan of the stock android look...
I do notice one bug in ADW launcher though which I use from time to time and that's the scrolling of the home screens. Sometimes I'll try to flick to the next screen and all it'll do is bounce and stay on the same screen. I had this some problem on the mytouch slide so I know it's not a vibrant issue.
YES! I AM EXPERIENCE CONTINUOUS REBOOTS!
My Epic 2.1.1 rooted with 'one-click' method seemed fine for a day. But once I installed LauncherPro, the device stared to reboot continously every 30sec.
I had to go into recovery mode and wipe/factory reset!
Any ideas?
^ did you try and install a system app? Only way I can see that possible... would have absolutely nothing to do with LP.
My launcher pro is working great. I bought the pro version though, thought I might add that launcher was updated today the 3rd.

Yeah, I am LOVING the new twitter widget.. only going to get better.
I've had no problems with LP, but I have with ADW. When opening the tray it keeps, for the lack of better words rebooting the tray. It will show the zoom in effect like 3-5 times before it loads the tray.
My phone is rebooting every 30sec once again! DAMN!
After the first bout, I re-rooted using one-click method, installed supseruser and titaniumbackup, then proceeded to restore all new app+data...
I stayed away from LP, but I went with ADW.Launcher. As far as system apps, I dont believe I installed anything like this; what would be an example of a system app?
I was good for one day, and then this morning, it seemed fine but the batt was very low. After plugging in the charger.... a few min later, this reboot cycle began!
I am on my 3rd recovery wipe/factory reset now.
Anyone else experience this or have recommendations?
I have a bug where it doesn't size live wallpapers properly when changing to landscape mode and the keeps the off size when rotating back to portrait. A dealbreaker for me since I love my lw's

Hi, I haven't found thread about it so...
every time i reboot my legend (with stable cm7 and gapps) i'm missing of facebook's account. but... when i try to create one, i can't (after click to add account, i get redirected to main screen with all accounts). I found solution to that (clear cache in apps manager), however, i don't want to do it every single time i reboot my phone. could anyone give me a solution ? thanks a lot.
First, please make sure that the facebook app is not installed on your SD card.
Okay i moved it to internal memory. So it should help, right?
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Well, you're the only one who can test that. Please try to post in the correct subforum in future.
I had the same problem after moving to CM7. I think it's caused because facebook and all the other apps are installed right after the first start but before installing and setup the gmail app. Do you have the gmail app installed?
Deinstall and install again the facebook app helped me.
PS: the official Twitter app had the same problem in my case.
I have installed all the apps like gmail etc. Moved to.phone's memory helped.

Ok I am having a weird issue with my new Atrix.
I am having icons of stuff I downloaded and added to the home screens disappear randomly.
Everything was fine all day, then I just went into my phone and noticed 4 icons on one screen were missing. The apps are still installed, just gone off the home screen. Not all of them on that screen dissappeared, just some of them.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, what did you do to fix it?
I've had my widgets disappear but not shortcuts. This usually only happens after a crash and random reboot. I flash different roms alot though so don't know if this is a stock problem.

Which launcher do you use? It used to happen to me on Go launcher. If I exited it from setting it would restart fine. Hasn't happened in a long time though.

I'm actually just running the stock launcher the Atrix comes with.
I would love to have the stock GB launcher like what comes on the Nexus S. But I don't think you can just download that from the market.
Go launcher is way better, I suggest you try it. ADW and Launcher pro also have free versions which are much better than motoblur.
Ive had this happen as well. My snes emulator was missing. My phone actually uninstalled it. Hadto reinstall through titanium backup.

Ya mine is happening on the screen one right from center. I am curious, the next time it happens I am going to move them to another screen and see if it still does it.
It doesn't happen all the time, just every once in awhile, but annoying just the same.
Just curious but are you removing your sd card or have these apps on the external sd card?

ya for me it's the same 3 icons in the same place.
Today I moved all my stuff to a different home screen to see what would happen, and it still did the same thing.
I don't know if this is a GB issue or not. My Atrix already had GB on it when I got it.
I wonder if trying a different launcher would help. I was hoping to avoid using a different run cause I am fine with the stock launcher. I am not sure what launcher to try out. I used to use LauncherPro when I still had a Captivate cause I think TouchWiz looks like it was designed by a 10 year old. But LP seems a bit dated, hasn't been updated in awhile and it just too plain.
I was looking at Go Launcher, that seems like a popular one which offers alot.
Go Launcher used to do this to me all the time. figured out it was happening when the screen was being redrawn going from landscape to portrait mode. each time I would switch modes some icons would be gone and some would come back. theyve fixed this bug finally though in the last couple of versions...
I think when you update an app there's a chance it does this. Im sure there's more to the story but I am stock and its doing as you described but on the left screen from center

I had this problem and it happened fairly often on reboots/power on. Mine wouldnt even show in the app drawer. Tracked it down to apps that were either installed in the Media Area (internal sd card) or External sd card. It usually happened if i started messing with the phone before everything fully loaded. If i waited a little they would eventually show up, sometimes.
If the problem apps are in the Media try moving them back and see if it still happens. I had a lot of apps in Media and external so I ended up doing a back up and then reformatting internal/external storage, then restoring. I haven't had the problem since, but i did move to GB and custom rom about 2 weeks afterwards, so that could have helped also.
I had a similar issue after unlocking my phone and installing a custom kernel. Revert to a lower version of pudding (unlock sbf file) and restore original kernel if u have one

this has happened to me as well.
I noticed that it would happen after certain apps would automatically update.
once the apps update, they're gone from my home screens.
then it drives me crazy trying to figure out what shortcuts were where.
completely stock Atrix.

Ok some news to report.
I exchanged my Atrix for another one, and set up a new Motoblur account when I first booted the new phone.
Now for some reason my icons are not disappearing. It's been a day so far and everything is fine.
I don't now if it was the new phone or the new Motoblur account which made the difference. I am thinking it might be the new phone though.
If it starts happening again I'll post another reply.
Add application shortcuts，but Once the phone restart, desktop icons disappear.Oh,I am frustrated. My phone is GT-I9100.

My phone system is OMNI 4.4.2.
I noticed this too, but only with some of the icons.
Looks like it does that with every icon from apps that have been transferred to the SDcard.
I then tried to backup the home screen with "MyBackup Root", so I can restore it afterwards, but apparently, this feature doesn't like 4.4.x roms...

Does anyone else experience this problem? I am on latest oxygen 2.1, tried with stock kernel and latest ak kernel and have xposed with few modules.
I have had facebook version 46 which had worked perfectly fine until the v47 update from the playstore..which had completely messed the app up. A TBU restore of my previous v46 does the same now...
A clean flash has been done and still problems persist..anyone know of a fix?

I have a similar issue though it lets me log in and read my feed but when I try to update status it closes on me. So now I've uninstalled the app and logged in through chrome (which has a similar ui appearance as the app does) and then I made a home screen short cut for my news feed. So its not a lot different than having the actual app. Honestly might be better for performance overall since the app is kind of a data/battery hog.
But I guess Ill ask if you have the issue with duplicate sms threads in Google messenger app. I had to switch to hangouts which works but just wondering if you have the issue and/or a fix.
I am also stock 2.1 but on stock kernel. Unrooted and locked bootloader.
Looks like it could be an issue with the Facebook app itself. Seems to be a lot of issues being reported after the last update. Mine is the same won't load.
Same problem here. Able to log in facebook app but it crashes the moment it goes to the newsfeed. clean wipe hasn't helped. :/

I am using the stable v42 of facebook found on apk mirror and works fine. So give that a try and see how it goes for you.
I dont use the stock messenger app for sms, i use textra sms instead as i like the theme. Cant help you with that.
Using v45 here. Any higher and it crashes out on startup.

You can fix this by uninstall Facebook and install Facebook v46.0.0.26.153. I'm not able to post link on xda right now so just google it !
EDIT :
The beta version 49 seems to work too.
I guess it has to do with individual app permissions settings in OP2. Some apps will malfunction if they are not designed with some permissions restricted. Can you check it if all permissions are active for facebook app in settings?
I am also facing the same issue Facebook crashes just after logging in ....
alternate solution is download Facebook Lite from play store by the time issue get fixed

Facebook Lite is not available in France. So I use the v44 and it works.
it's a facebook issue, not a OPT issue. If you read in play store, many users have same problem and use other devices
Experiencing the same problem on my oneplus app crashes everytime i try to load news feed
It happened to me too. As a workaround, I've installed it from the Amazon app store and now it works.

This is good advice IMHO. Just use chrome for now. Very similar layout, works flawlessly there's nothing more I can say apart from that I will keep the app and just wait for the fix.
