Launcher keeps resetting.. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I have stock 4.4.2 on my rooted n4. Every time I restart the phone, the launcher (google now launcher) just clears itself and the icons.
Are there any fixes for this?
Thanks

Have you found a fix so far?
I have a really similar behaviour. When I restart my phone I suddently have no icons ob my homescreen.
Its really annoying me. sometimes also only one page is missing.

Find the Google launcher app in or application settings-->clear data and cache and then add your custom icons and widgets and check.. hope it helps

Well you can check if google now needs a update sometimes thats why it force closes and wipes the icons if that dosent work theres a fix go to google now settings and pick uk language and then you can go back to standard english thats a little fix that helped me try it out... keep me posted

Apps Order in Multi-Windows Bar

Not sure if anyone is experiencing same problem, everytime I edit the Multi-Windows bar to rearrange applications icons, then I restart my phone for any reason to find them changed in order!

Note 3 Widgetlocker problem

Having a problem with Widgetlocker on my Note 3...
Installed Widgetlocker via direct purchase from teslacoilsw.com. Software is installed & basically 'works', but I'm unable to pull up the Add menu via long press. Tool mode and/or lockscreen...neither pull up the Add menu. What's strange is I get some haptic feedback during long press in tool mode and if I tap around a bit & can get random stuff to happen (like adding an app shortcut to the screen). It's like the menu is 'there' but it's not visible or something. Any suggestions?
Reinstalled & all's good now...nm. (mods, delete post if needed)
~thx
Hi,having the same problem...for my case if you used custom wallpaper then the add menu is like hidden behind the wallpaper,maybe you need to check using custom wallpaper first
Sent the dev an email and he's looking into it. I found that using an alternate wallpaper doesn't do good either.

I live in Canada and have the n900 model and I am unable to use widgetlocker any longer due to the playstore saying its no longer compatible with this device.

Would love to be able to send the developer and email. After figuring a way to install on the Note 3, since it shows unavailable for Note 3 on "play" - now I have the pull down notification bar sitting "behind" whatever I add to my Widgetlocker screen...making the pull down virtually unusable...maybe if you could tell me how to submit this to developer...?

On the play store I believe there is a link. As a work around I hide the notification bar and use Dashclock. I also think the dev just became a "daddy" so we may have to wait a bit.

I was wondering how you could hide the lockscreen notification bar.
I am using nova launcher prime and that easily lets me hide the homescreen notification bar but I couldn't figure out how to disable it on lockscreen.

Well you can hide it with Widgetlocker. Just check the settings.

Widgetlocker has been updated and is now working for me.

download from playstore and installed it. set it up as per my needs. till then everything was fine. the moment i tried to change the default locker theme to a custom one it force closed. (that custom theme had worked perfectly on my note2).
can anyone pls check and confirm if you are able to change and use a custom wl theme successfully?

Active Desktop causes FC of com.android.systemui

I have Omni 4.4.1 running on my N4. When a notification comes in, com.android.systemui crashes. It happens with GEL, Nova, & ssLauncher. Before when I had version 4.4 I wouldn't get a FC, but I'd be left on my homescreen with no status or navbar. If I brought up the reboot menu, they would reappear. Anyone else seeing this?

Fullscreen apps not working

I have a problem with the apps not going fullscreen when I enable that option in settings. The only way too have the apps in fullscreen is by enabling gestures. I'm using nova launcher but it's the same thing with Samsung launcher.

You need to go into settings /display / full screen apps and enable each one you want.
You need to take it off auto.
Already said that I've tried that and it doesn't work.

You said you enabled it in settings, that is vague as you can enable it in settings yet you still have to take it off of auto on each individual application.
It's working fine for you? I think I need to do a reset.

I did reset but still not working. Also edge lighting doesn't work. Maybe the phone is faulty? What can I do?
Went to a shop that was displaying the S10+ and tried to see if it's working but it's the same.

Does Good Lock work with Nova?

And has it been working reliably in general for anyone? I haven't been able to change my home clock.
Idk what you're really asking but yes i have both installed and 0 issues on any of them.
Yes it works for me
I had problems when I disabled One UI with a package disabler
