I know this may sound really stupid but it is really bugging me now.
I have set nova on transparent bar. When I unlock my phone (using stock lockscreen), the notification bar flashes very fast and goes back to transparent. I'm not sure if I explained myself right.
Does your nova do this? Thankssssss.

No, but you might be using some kind of home proxy, i.e one that launches home from inside an app when you hit the home button.
Open Nova settings and check the default home is actually Nova.

yep, you're right. It depends on Nova and you can't do anything to solve it.
So nothing's wrong with my phone then?

Once you download and launch nova. There will be some widgets on your home screen prompting you to restore your layout from either a previous nova backup or a different launcher. Just create yourself a backup within go launcher (if it has that option) then restore from that backup. It may not restore everything depending on widgets you have currently but you won't have to start from scratch. I use nothing but nova prime.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I was wondering if there's a way to modify the permanent tray at the bottom of the screen? I want to put my chompsms link in place of the default messaging link. Thank you in advance.

Try using launcher pro it allows you to do this and is more customizable than samsung's default launcher. I just started using it myself and prefer it a lot more
If you open the app tray and press the menu button you will get an option for view type. Select customize. Press menu button again and select edit. You can now change the center two icons

if you're talking about customization, try ADW Launcher.

You learn something new everyday. No idea the menu button did anything in the app tray. Thank you. And I've tried both launchers. This is probably blasphemy but I don't like either. *runs and ducks for cover*

There are tons of these types of apps in the market. Here's a list of the ones I thought were good:
Open Home
Live Home
Launcher Pro
ADW
aHome
dxTop
Of those, I'd have to say Launcher Pro and Live Home are my favorites.
Anyone having issues with widgets loading in 2.3.3?
My twitter widget will not load. Even stranger, I cannot add any applications to any screen. Very odd.
I'm running on ADW. Is ADW the real issue?

another issue with 2.3.3
All my widgets disappeared and I had to place them back...

how did you get them back? a long press does nothing for me now!
hmmm. my widgets work just fine. long press also works. did you try a reboot?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Only problem I am having with 2.3.3 is the screen colors. It's terrible, definitely gotta get use to it..
Widgets work fine. Try a reboot or a battery pull.
Works fine here, using LauncherPro Plus.
I chose to clear the dalvik cache before rebooting, after applying the update. Perhaps that helped me?

Haven't used ADW in a long time but isn't there an option to lock your screens? Which in turn wouldn't allow you to modify anything.
Press menu and check that out.
no problem here. all widgets work fine and i didnt have to mess with them at all.
This happened to me today but I'm still on 2.3.2...

Rebooted and long pressed. I did have it lose them a couple more times though. It's fine now... I think.

This. From the home screen you can also press:
Menu>Add
To add a widget.
Menu>More>Unlock Desktop
To unlock the home screen if locked.

The few widgets I use are working the same. Only problem I ran into was having to reinstall Swype.
Running on stock android.
Not sure how it got locked, but the unlock feature did the trick.
Thanks!

It may be me misunderstanding. I'm thinking of using the stock launcher with a different rom,.You download the launcher just like any other app then click on ot to install it. Its on here in either the Razr M forum or the Android apps forum. I can't remember its been a while since i downloaded it.
I tried using apex and it was pretty laggy. Nova is a lot better so far but one out of maybe every 30 times I exit a app to go to the homescreen the motoblur stock launcher appears instead of nova until I go to a new screen. Kinda Annoying. Any idea how to fix?
Can I change the color of the status bar icons like the battery, signal strength and time? without root?

Well yeah nova IMO is a little smoother but apex has free gestures. And no idea about ur launcher problem never heard of that before sorry. And ugh the only way I know of to do it is metamorph which requires root. You can try super status bar. I Know it allows custom layout of items in the bar with a change of color per user preference but not sure on the icons. Try it out

Nova Launcher with stock 4.2.2
not rooted (yet)
sometimes when I leave an app it goes back to the TW default screen
I have to hit the home key twice to go back to NL
is this a bug or anyone else having the same issue?
Have you went into setting of nova and set it for default launcher?
Why not just freeze Touchwiz launcher?
You can not disable touchwiz home without rooting.

Ah. Well thank you, but that failed gloriously. Replaced the stock launcher with root explorer, changed to original's permissions. still resulted in a continuous force close cycle. thank god this phone comes with a second launcher (easy mode) that i could switch to to restore the old launcher apk.
Any luck getting this working? I'm not
