TouchWiz 4.0 app icons and folders problem (video included)

Hi,
I don't know if someone else found this problem. I made a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RS9j4uiTDaE. It's also in FullHD.
And wrote a post in my blog in my native language, spanish: http://retreteinformatico.blogspot.com/2012/01/touchwiz-40-y-problemas-con-la.html
The video description is english. I'll also explain the problem here:
Simply put, TouchWiz does not save the icons in the place where I leave them. At first I organized all of them in two screens: one with folders and the other with most frequently used icons. After doing a power on-off cycle the icons are all scattered without alphabetical order in three screens instead of two. The folders maintain their ordering and screen. An icon (AllShare) is put between two folders and the other icons are divided in two screens, disordered, not alphabetical.
In the video you'll see first what I found after the icon position screwing. Then I get three or four apps out of their folder (Google Talk, Gmail, Maps, Market) and put them with the rest of the icons and the AllShare app is put with the rest, out of the screen with the folders. Then I power off the phone and turn it on again to find that GTalk, Maps, Market and AllShare are out of their place.
After that, I put the icons more or less where I want to put them (in two screens) and I do again a power cycle to show how did TouchWiz screw my icon organization.
I'm using Android 2.3.4 XWIK4 with baseband XXKI1.

If someone is able to reproduce the problem just tell it. Maybe touchwizh has problems if you put in folders the Samsung apps (Hubs and more), I don't know, but it's a big problem.

Folder/Icon rearrangement is a known problem with TouchWiz since day 1 when SGS2 got released.
Best way to get around is to use AppSorter and sort your App Drawer everytime you create a folder.

Posting problems about 2.3.4 when everyone else is on 2.3.6 = VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS!
Update your phone and test it and give feedback!

Hmmm, I didn't know. How comes that Samsung hasn't fixed this in 8 monts?
This is ludicrous.

Beta is bad

Love the name of your blog: informatic toilet (retrete informatico) ahahah
Anyway: They suck on fixing bugs.. if we users and devs cant fix'em we are screwed lol

Also, why any reviewer spoted this problem? Add to this the Fujitsu camera module problem and you get the idea that QA on Samsung is really poor. Just remember the GPS problem on Samsung Galaxy S1.

I didn't say to update to ICS beta... just update to XWKK5 and he should be alright!
Anyway i tried to do the same he did in my SGS2 and it keeps icons in their folders..
Using checkrom revo v4

My icons are kept in their folders. The problem is the icons that are out of their folders. I'm using original Android, no beta nor custom ROMs.

i rooted my phone and installed checkrom revo v4 and don't have that problem! What is weird to me is that i always used folders and that issue never came to me

I read your first post about upgrading to 2.3.6. Well, if I just use the default Samsung support, I'm stuck to 2.3.4, as my phone is Austrian version and Samsung didn't release nothing newer than 2.3.4 for those phones.
So Samsung sucks big as a company and client support.
Of course if I start to root the phone and installing custom ROMs the problem would disappear, but flashing your phone and breaking your warranty is not something the user should do for something that's supposed to work from the beginning. Different thing is if the user wants extra functionality, but this is not the case.
So, all in all, I'll wait until ICS gets released and after that if it doesn't convince me, I'll root and who know if I flash a custom ROM.

I had that trouble before where one app ended up going to the next page and kept going back there. I think simply restoring the order, going to TwLauncher in the application list and then force stopping should make it remember the order you gave it once you go back.

If I force stop TwLauncher the apps are again "out of control" :-/
I'll try to clear the cache although I'm reluctant because I'll need to recreate all folders again

I have partially solved the problem by clearing the cache of TouchWiz launcher.
Now the SIM service app keeps going back to the same place out of its folder, but I refuse to clear again the cache and organize all my apps. Maybe it's because the SIM service app is something variable. If I kill touchwiz process that app appears inside it's folder (once the cache corruption is solved), but if I turn off the phone and turn on again, the SIM app appears out of the folder.
This is crap.

Well, know what? I've installed some applications at one time, all from Samsung Apps, and after rebooting the phone all my folders are empty and the apps inside them are all spread across 6 screens instead the 2 screens I managed to sort. The apps and folders have lost the position I assigned to them.
Now I have a bunch of icons in random order and I don't want to organize again 6x8 = 48 icons plus the home screens which would turn to default state after clearing the cache of the touchwiz manager.
It's very annoying and unusable. I want to throw the phone through the window.
What I can't understand is how this bug has been happening since launch date and Samsung hasn't been able to solve it. My only hope is the ICS update and I don't have much confidence on it. Probably I'll have to flash a custom ROM and then try to get some Samsung software on it.
The free games offer is very good
PS: Well, maybe it has some explanation->Samsung's poor software development quality assurance. Camera's firmware also suffer from it.

With all due respect, and not aiming to sound rood to you, with that mentality (it should work fine out of the box and I don't care if somewhere else there's a newer version...) you shouldn't be posting on XDA because people we'll obviously tell you to upgrade to the latest version, whether it's from a different operator/country (legit) or simply a leak.
You can't expect people here to act like the only way to use the phone is by following what Samsung/your operator is dictating you. We all know and have long ago agreed that operators and manufacturers are lazy when it comes to QA, and that's why a place like XDA exists

The camera firmware bug affects to all people, doesn't matter if you have stock Android or custom ROM. So we're all in the same bag. And this is Galaxy S II General forum, so I post this here because norms allow it.
Anyways, thanks for your reading.

Actually clearing the cache helped! Ever since I updated to 2.3.6 I have had this problem but after clearing the cache it has been resolved. But initially after the update the folders did remember for a couple of days after which the problem started for me. But for now clearing the cache worked well.

Hello, did u guys already tried Menu>Save in app drawer after modifying/rearranging apps/folder?

[Solution] Most of "Solved" Launcher reload - No ROOT needed !

Hello folkz,
I`m proud to present a solution to fix the reload Launcher problem. Must work with all firmwares (still I recommend I9300XXBLFB) or the latests !
First, how can I check if I get this problem if I didnt noticed it?
1. Long press Home button
2. Task manager
3. Go to RAM
4. Clear memory
5. Press Home button
6. See how all home reloads, the launcher is reload
Solution:
1. Take out Weather Clock widget http://db.tt/CY2rRwzu
2. Soft reset
3. Clear memory, surprize.. no reload
Video to prove
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOUfWtHQ0Ec
Tip:
A better Weather Clock you find at Beautiful Widgets, and the problem is gone
This solution will work much better, no more often reloads.. only when your RAM is highly overused.

So basically you're saying that LFB fixes the redraw problem and all you have to do is flash LFB?

At least he was right with one thing. In I9300BVALF4 after a wipe and a factory reset I can not reproduce the TW reload.

You are wrong! I tested on my s2 and after clearing the RAM the TW launcher remains every time so this must be also in S3 firmwares.

Method1) Now let`s fix this by:
1. Flash with odin I9300BVALF4 (see note point 2)
2. Go in recovery and wipe cache + data/factory (see note point 1)
3. Do initial settings, restart phone
4. Test launcher problem, seems fixed
Method2) Ok, now more of you will say but I dont need an older firmware, I need latest one or my country/carrier specific one (read note 6), NO PROBLEM, here what to do:
1. Flash with odin I9300BVALF4 (see note point 2)
2. Go in recovery and wipe cache + data/factory (see note point 1)
3. Do initial settings, restart phone
4. Flash I9300XXBLFB (latest UK firmware, see note point 3), or flash any wanted ROM
5. Do not wipe data/factory reset
6. Latest firmware installed, test launcher problem, seems fixed
Notes:
1.If you have a newer firmware after flash it may give you erros like X process stopped.. no problem take out battery for 5 sec. Put battery back and dont turn on, go in recovery mode (vol up+home button+power button)
Wipe cache partition, then wipe data/factory reset, reboot system now
2. About I9300BVALF4 + download
branded (only logo and browser icon with yellow, no additional apps)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=5280
3. About I9300XXBLFB + download
latest firmware from UK, unbranded, many fixes and Allshare Cast

More info read here, thanks to Faryaab (+ how to flash with odin)

4. Kies will not support anymore updates, but will connect.. because of different CSC. Anyway who updates with kies? Odin much safe and better. Thats all..
5. This will not void your warranty, all are stocks ROM and you can get to yours whenever you want.
6. Dont know if will work with all country/carrier specific last firmware, but I do know that with UK last firmware is really working.

You could do it this way, or,
2)
Change launcher oom priorities.
Hmmm, which way is easier, makes more sense and isn't stupid?
Oh I know, its the second way!
Seriously OP, you took the long pointless way to do something simple.
And what's all this about noobs??
You can't talk about noobs, just read the OP and you'll see why.

Thread cleaned. There does seem to be feedback this works.
This stays open pending further review. Please keep any comments nice and relavant

I fixed mine by simply turning off animations, however since flashing latest firmware it seems fine with animations enabled.

Thank you, anyway I will not post too much anymore here.. I just post what I did found by myself, if people doesnt like my solution they can ignore not to flame me for nothing, I didnt ask for money or for nothing, just tried to help.
The results can be seen in the video clearly. Who has anything else to add, be free
I`d love somebody else find a better solution, or Samsung to look into Orange stock firmware, why there is no problem with launcher and on the rest it is..

in last UK firmware ? did you do what I wrote, or just flashed last firmware and factory reset.. ?

how can I delete this post?

so your saying clearing ram causes a redraw... of course it does! Your clearing the bloody ram! Jesus

No, that you can test if the problem exist to your firmware.
Of course and not of course, what to be ? because on my video is not reloading the launcher.. dont know, you guys when post did you ever read ?
If reload when clear memory, is clear that you have problems. For example enter on browser Opera, make a big download, open also a radio, camera, and play a game, for example asphalt 6.. now press home button, to see how is reload your launcher.. wow.. without clearing the memory
That is the fastest and small test to see if have problems or not.

There is no need to flash all sorts of firmwares and jump through burning hoops, all people need to do is change the oom priority of the launcher.

This has been reported as a problem loads of times. Nice one for posting a fix.
As for all the trolls, if you don't like something there's no need to start ripping people appart. Xda used to be a really nice place but sad to say to many trolls on here now spoiling it.
If you haven't got something nice or some positive criticism to say don't say anything. Simple.

No I'm not joking at all, and look at method 2 on that page, it doesn't get more simple than that.
And when you say "most of us want to keep it on stock" what you actually mean is some of us, because most people on xda would be rooted, at least.

Yes very simple, anyway is doesnt matter what I wrote here because I found who cause this bug and I will edit the first post.. and for all firmwares is like fixed
I like too root and customs roms, but now for S3 best are stocks...
LE: First post modified, check for the real solution

god! what is the logic behind flashing 2 firmwares back to back? and how can it possibly fix launcher redraw which is caused by poor allocation of memory?

Is not because of that, read now first post to see what was the problem.. Is a bug from Weather Clock
The stock from Orange didnt have that clock as default, thats why worked nice.

Damn this worked for me :good:..tried 2 games, heavy browsing, everything..no reload @ all..even after clearing memory, therez no reload..a simple and excellent solution! Dunno about rest of the guys but worked for me like a charm! :good::good:

Should I disable the weather widget in the application manager?
I don't have the weather widget on my home screen but I still do have the redraw problem.

HiYa from Scotland!!
It's early days, but I'm sure guys will be into 4.0.4 and find out exactly what's good and what isn't. Just one thing, don't factory re-set until we see positive news about the eMMc brick bug that affects the SGN running ICS

My galaxy note is running perfectly now, that means faster, and I dont' have to do all those tricks to get a deep sleep.
However, what I am about is this feature that I read somewhere. Too bad I was in a hurry that time, and didn't get a chance to save the link , but what it mentioned was that this "premium" version gave the capability where you can directly write into the s-note app, without the need to open the app. I am imagining that if you you have it on your main screen, you can directly write to it already, unlike before when it needed to open the app before you can do something.
Was these all true? or did I assume wrong?

Its been a few days since the update and i tried emptying cache, clearing application data and also wiping partition cache but none of it worked.
Please provide a solution for this issue as S Memo is like a canvas for me.

[Q] Flickering/disappearing launcher

my Iconia (always more often) flashes in the launcher, flickers and most of the times everything disappear apart the wallpaper...
i have used apex, nova, trebuchet, holo... all (before or later) start flickering and then die... only way out is to kill the launcher or start another one somehow.
my rom is reflexxx stryker rev 4.2 (but i also used cm9 and had some problem)
i have ics bootloader, but i can't say what version, sorry
i have seen some posts about this problem,
most common idea is that the problem is in the ics bootloader.
the only idea of a solution was to go back to honeycomb BL
but those posts i saw where almost 2 months old... so i wanted to ask:
are there any new solution about this? any new hints? any new ideas?
it is also difficult to search about this on the forum.. since i don't know exactly what to search
thanks anyone for any hint.

As far as I know there is no fix. I've tried many different roms and bootloaders as well as MANY launchers. The only way that I have been able to tone it down is to not use Google widgets. But even then when I play something that uses 3d graphics it may still trigger. I've taken logcats and it says something about some sort of video error, researched it a little and found nothing. I hope that someone has a solution.

Don't sell it, just flash stock. I tried them all and had problems. Stock for me run's with no problems and the fastest just give it a try and you won't look back.

I went stock for a while and it was noticeably less often, I still had the issue. Especially when playing Great Little War Game. So I just went back to an overclocked rom. I enjoy the performance more than I regret the flashing screen...

as i wrote to JdgM3NT4L in a pm:
my "solution" is to put a home switcher app shortcut in the lockscreen.
so that when it happens i can kill apex or switch to nova
i mirrored my settings in apex and nova (nova can import all apex settings automatically)
that's the way i survive this boring bug
if someone like the "solution" can try it
and maybe hit thanks button

I actually did the rollback to 3.1, updated officially over the air all the way up. Complete stock. It was better, but the issue persisted.
Loth, I have not noticed if the charge had much effect, But one thing that I think that seems to trigger it is when there is a game/app going that is using 3d graphics, and then any sort of notification pops up as an overlay. There is one rom that I could get it to do this almost on command. I could have a game going and the check the notifications. 80% of the time that was enough to get the flashing started.
So perhaps what you've noticed could be triggered by the low battery popup?
I can say that the latest Flexreaper ShellSHOCK does this very rarely. Maybe three times in the last few weeks, and I play with the tablet a lot.

i installed latest shellshock, let's see

It happens to me all the time with all the launchers I 've tried. I am in unlocked ics bootloader and stock rom. The same happened with the locked bootloader. I tried the CM10 Rom same results. I removed all widgets from the homescreen with no luck.
If it's in the ICS Bootloader then all must have the same problem or not?
Any solution except going back to 3.2?

To fix it I had to go full stock to Honey Comb then reinstall CWM then install Thor cm v15 and no problems since. I think the problem is the ICS bootloader

After some good times with few troubles, now it is again a huge problem: i almost can't use the tablet it happens every day and more than once.
I think I'll go back to stock honeycomb

Hi all, I'm a new nexus 4 owner and in these 2/3 days I'm having a strange issue: when I'm downloading something from the browser, the download icon on the status bar disapears (even tho the download is still going, since I receive the messege "download complete" after some time).
There's also another problem, which really bugs me! When I download an app from the play store, at the beginning I can see the download icon on the status bar, but after a while it disapears! I go to my apps in the play store and I can see that the download is going, but after a while it pauses and I have to wait a lot of time before It resumes!
I tryied changing baseband (.27, .48, .54, .84, hybrid 33-54), but the problem is still there. I've also tryied various roms: psx, rasbeanjelly, pa. Can somebody help me please? This things don't let me enjoy my brand new nexus 4

Ok, I tryied using a 4.2.2 rom and the problem seem solved! Android 4.3 has something to do with it! Isn't there a fix or something? I really want to use a 4.3 rom

Actually I noticed this problem today morning.. didnt give me a lot of headache.. in the end it downloads properly.. so i dont think you should give up on 4.3 just because of that.. but yeah a fix would be nice..

This is definately not n4 specific; it has been driving me insane on my Galaxy Player running cm10.2+ as well as my nexus 5 running stock 4.4.2. Up until now I thought it was just my router (I don't have a data plan on the n5). Very annoying.

A simple workaround for this which I do is from browser start another download, size no matter, any small image will do too. Just as the download starts, both the download will show and resume
