Hey guys, I recently side loaded the new NAE updated and a few bugs occurred.
I was originally using the Nova Launcher and when the phone restarted after the update it went back to the touch wiz launcher.
Some of my apps were deleted and had to be re installed. But the biggest problem I am having is that when I try to add my original widgets back to my nova launcher screen I am getting the "Nova launcher stopped working" error then it reverts be back to touch wiz.
Has anyone had this problem and if so, does any one know of a fix?
Thanks for the help!
-- I figured it out, I guess when my phone restrarted it did not update all of the apps. I restarted the phone and now widgets work fine!

Every time I install a launcher, either ADW and launcher pro and restart, I get the Galaxy S logo, then an infinite black screen. The only way (I know of) to fix it is to do a factory reset, which obviously sucks. I have never gotten a launcher to work.
Anyone know what my problem is and how to fix it?
I have a US Cellular Mesmerize, rooted, clockwork mod, and the 1124_test_novoodoo kernel.
Thanks!
Update: I tried again to install Launcher Pro, but this time installed Home Switcher before shutting down. I set LP as my default launcher in Home Switcher, and launched it. It worked fine. However, after restarting the phone, I again have the black screen and lit up keys.
I had this happen the other night on my rooted superdark superfast fascinate. I just pulled the bat, held down both volume keys, held power until I saw samsung and let go of the power. then I loaded a backup and all was fine...
[SOLVED]
It's working now, I recovered again, restored with Titanium Backup, and tried again with Home Switcher, and this time it worked. Not sure what was up, but problem solved.
Same problem with additional wrinkle
I'm having the same problem, except that I haven't yet successfully got CWM to work on mine (so no ROM backup yet). Do you know of any way to fix this without restoring a backup first?
I500 Mesmerize
Rooted
OCLF v1+
Home Switcher
Launcher Pro
Visual Task Switcher
(Problem started after installing VTS)
All you have to do is hit search button on soft keys and find launcher pro or adw and open it and set it as default.

Ok, so I was running Dalingrin's most recent build, and installed the OC kernel, and all was well. However, I wanted to use LauncherPro and it kept giving me issues, so I went back to Phiremod 6.3.
I went to install the OC kernel for CM7, not realizing that it was not compatible with Phiremod 6.3. (I figured they were both built on CM7, so it would work. Not so, apparently.) When I restarted, I got a black screen, and holding the N+Power buttons while booting didn't work.
So, I found a thread on XDA to fix my recovery, and I was able to restore my backup.
However, now i cannot add standard widgets or shortcuts (using the menu, long press on the app page works) to Launcher Pro, and any time I try to change something on the dock, I get a force close. I tried fixing permissions, and still no dice. No problems with Launcher Pro widgets or wallpapers. Also, the icon for some apps changed to the stock Market icon, and would not load, but a reinstall of those apps solved the problem.
Short version - Restored a backup after a botched kernel install, now Launcher Pro won't let me install widgets or shortcuts, or change items on the dock.
EDIT: Nevermind. Reinstalled Phiremod through ROM manager and it works fine now. Forgot about that option sooner.
I've always been a fan of the stock launcher since I never cared much to use settings available in custom launchers to tweak settings. However, with the new Nova Prime I really wanted to give gestures a try. After hearing great things about the launcher I decided to purchase the app and start fiddling with it. Overall the launcher is very fast, stable, and the homescreen gestures are awesome.
However, I'm noticing that immediately after unlocking the phone the screen flickers once before opening the homescreen. I've tried disabling Nova launcher to see if the stock launcher did this as well. However, as I suspected, the stock launcher fluidly fades from the lockscreen to the homescreen with no flicker at all.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a setting I can adjust to fix this? I'd love to keep using Nova but unfortunately this flicker is annoying me.
Thanks in advance.
No issue's to report with nova launcher that's the only launcher i use:good: don't like stock I uninstall it whenever i flash a new rom. Some guys put nova into there roms. I have the prime version. Do you have your animations on? You could try disabling the animations if that helps..

Thanks for the advice. I just disabled animations and it made the transition a lot faster, which I suppose I can live with. I just wish it was fluid during unlock like the stock launcher is. Aside from that it's perfect.
EDIT: I decided to follow your tactic and uninstalled the stock launcher, then wiped cache, dalvik cache, and fixed permissions. After restarting I'm happy to report that the unlock flicker has completely gone away. This is the case even with animations set back to 1x. I'm guessing the phone was trying to load the stock launcher for a split second before loading Nova Launcher, causing the slight flicker/delay. I'm a happy camper now, thank you!

I get this issue on all launchers, when using stock AOSP 4.3 and CM 10.1
Has anyone deduced what the problem is caused by?

Ha! Forgot all about this thread. For me, every time I install a fresh ROM the first thing I do after initial setup is install Nova Launcher. After doing this I uninstall the stock launcher or the trebuchet launcher (on CM10.1 ROMs) and wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions. After doing this I never see the initial screen flicker anymore and I've used this method with all sorts of ROMs.
However, now that I'm on the stock 4.3 JWR66V image, without root, I am getting the same screen flicker again. I'm just dealing with it until an updated SuperSU or Super User zip is available which will allow me to root, install root explorer, and uninstall the stock launcher. I'm confident that going with the same procedure I mentioned above will solve the issue once again.
Good luck!

You're kidding, seriously? That's it? That's so sad on Google's part (for such a terrible launcher)
But thanks for the hint, I've been searching far and wide for this answer - ill let you know if it works in 4.3 (I'm rooted). I'm surprised so little users notice this annoying stuff!

I followed your instructions but I still get flickering from time to time on stock rooted 4.3, though maybe less than before... Any other step that I may be missing that you didn't mention?

Hi guys, I just updated my nexus 10 stock and not rooted or anything to 4.2.2. However it's now stuck saying that launcher has stopped, every time i click ok at just loops leaving it unusable. I managed to get into the setting though notifications and tried wiping all data from launcher but still not working. So has the update not installed properly or is it something else cause i'm stuck on how to fix this?
Either do a factory reset or use adb to sideload another launcher.
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and tried to find the answer before posting this but couldn't find the answer.
The problem is that my phone keeps restarting on custom roms.
It happens on various custom roms i tried cm12.1 and a couple of others. When i first install the custom rom it all seems fine. Even after a couple of restarts it all works okay untill the moment that i install all my apps that i use.
After a number of installed apps the launcher app trebuchet keeps crashing and after that my phone is in an endless boot loop.
Does anyone else know of this problem or have a solution to this weird problem?
Ps. When i revert back to an twrp backup of my old 4.4.2 system all is fine and no bootloops anymore.
I also tried installing nova launcher instead of trebuchet because i tought it was trebuchet related but that didn't work. (I uninstalled trebuchet completely).
Please let me know if you need more info from the phone.
Thanks
Dennis

Did you consider that one of the apps you install is causing the problem?
Try installing apps one by one, and be aware that some apps designed to work in Android KitKat or less may not work on Android 5 or higher.
And some apps have multiple versions for each android version, so it's better to install your apps by downloading them from the play store.
