I am not sure of the proper name of the app drawer at the bottom of the phone that has the phone, messenger, app drawer apps no matter what home screen you move to, but today it started disappearing randomly. Once gone the only way I can get it back is to reboot the phone. I am on the stock unrooted 4.4.4 ROM. does anyone have any idea why this is happening? thanks

Has anyone else noticed after the recent adw updates when going back from menu or an app it seems to have rebooted itself and has to reload icons and widgets which takes a bit sometimes?
Yep. All adw launchers do that. There is an option in the settings to have it persist. But you will lose auto rotate in the hone screen

Noticed it too. Seems like a new thing.
I always check out peoples comments when I get an update available notification. This one seemed to be a few issues so have left it til they sort it out and do a new update. They come out pretty regularly so hopefully you will get sorted soon. Have you emailed them or commented on the app's wall?
are you using any theme? i used to have that problem when i was using sense theme.
Can´t find how to turn auto rotate of the the screen of, anyone can help??

1.1.3 came out today.. (I think it was today..)... Lets see if it's any more stable.. I had virtually no problems with it prior to 1.1.0.. now it's a nightmare!
Anybody else find it annoying that they replaced the "Notifications" option when you press the menu key with "Edit"? Cause I have the notifications bar hidden and now I have to open some random app to get the notification bar... (And no, I dont want to use the slide up/down gestures....)
Yea, mine crashes often
Mine has became laggy when scrolling through home page after the update!
Same experience here.....
After disabled scroll cache in settings, my home screen scrolling speed back to normal again. Finally solved this problem which has been troubling me for days.

i got it since it looked nice and i kinda like it but somehow other poeple are able to change the apps it shows as shown http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU2gGI8KVhY
so now my question is why cant i change the apps on my atrix?
Ok so i went and downloaded it. Its alright. Would be better if it had more versatility. Anyways, you swipe you finger over to the right and it will move you the left screen. Then the app drawer cube things comes down. You can then remove an app from the ring by dragging it towards the app drawer. Then there will be a blank cube on the on the ring. You can then drag an app from the app drawer onto the ring. However, unless you are using the default apps, you wont get the cool preview. As in if you are using goSMS instead of default messaging, you wont get the conversation list that pops up on the ring.
thats exactly what i did but still couldnt change them i guess it must be cuz of gingerblur or something are you on stock?
Hi all. I have encountered a bug on the stock launcher, where you launch the app from the drawer and after using the app, you exit and return to the drawer, the drawer is blank and only has the home icon...
Mostly happen when I return from memory intensive apps like modern combat 2

Don't know the reason for this, but used to happen to me as well.
I'm assuming you're rooted and are running a CM7 based ROM, so just go to CyanogenMod settings -> Performance -> Lock home in memory.
I got the same thing going on too sometimes. In addition, sometimes when I exit an app the home screen(s) are blank -with just my background & nothing else. It acts exactly like the blank app drawer does. Everything returns after a few seconds though. I'm maybe thinking that it has something to do with low available RAM??
I'm not rooted, stock 2.3.4
I might be going the rooted route here soon to try & resolve this issue, along with my reboot issue during calls.
The launcher is being killed from ram (memory) because the application you are using is requiring too much.
Like the other poster said you can check "keep launcher in memory" in some roms and also in launcher settings for some launchers. This however is not a full guarantee that it will not be purged.

I'm seeing this as well. A reboot tends to clear it up for a while but it eventually starts happening again after a few days to a week. Stock 2.3.4 i9020T.
I recently rooted my phone using Is in and had my own set of issues with that but am now unrooted to the best of my knowledge. However I am still running custom Rom from the root. Everything seems to work perfectly except for Samsung Pay which I tried to fix by flashing all new stock rom through Odin to no avail, but that isn't my problem. I noticed when moving apps around on my screen that the whole screen woukd go blank and I'd just be holding the app guessing where to put it. When trying to edit widgets there was no home screen, except for briefing, which hadn't been working. After turning briefing on and creating a new home page simply because I didn't want to deal with it and couldn't find help, I couldn't place any widgets due to the fact that they are on this phantom briefing home page already. When changing the grid for apps within the page settings, I can see the apps on the "briefing" page but that is the only way that I can see it all. If possible I'd like to wipe the widgets or something of the sort if there is no way to fix my pages. Please help me if you have any advice. I just want my phone working again.
I have imgur links for the screenshots but can't post them because this is my first post.
Are you using a custom launcher? If so, which one is it.
Resolved, sort of.

I am using the stock launcher, I have since fixed the issue through a factory reset and restore of apps. My advice to all S7 Edge rooters until the bug is truly fixed: after you get your phone rooted or unrooted, running custom rom, if you see that briefing is missing, create a new home page and move all of your apps one page to the right. Leave the original homepage, now on the left, blank and designate the one with apps as your main page by clicking the home icon. With the two home pages set up, go apply a theme. This should force the phone to locate all of the apps and "think" about them. For me this automatically placed briefing over the blank home page that is to the left. I hope that this helps anyone experiencing the same issue. Thank you for the reply and I'm glad to be a part of XDA
Hi, I have a Samsung S10+ running Android 10 and One UI 2.5.
I am constantly getting an issue with Nova Launcher where if i clear my recent apps the screen refreshes and then One UI takes over and it goes to that home screen rather than Nova. If i then press the Home button again it then takes me back to Nova's home screen again and does stay there until i clear my recent apps again.
Nova is definitely set to the default launcher and when this happens i go into the Nova settings and it shows no launcher is set as default, i then set it as default but the same thing keeps happening each time.
I have tried clearing the cache from both Nova and One UI but this didn't fix anything.
Is this a know issue? It has happened for a while but wasn't that annoying but since a recent android update it seems to be happening all the time now.
Does anyone know if i can fix this?
Thanks
James
Did you perhaps got sd card installed? Usually if the app installed on sd card, it will revert back to default launcher whenever you restart.
I have also had this happen to me recently, happens generally when I have recently restarted the phone for a couple of hours and then it won't happen, really odd. It started happening after the November update. And to @Zac3 I don't have a sd card installed.
Same here !!! It bugs even out sometimes, switch automatic to One UI Launcher, and i can not open sometimes my recents Apps, i had cleared so many times data and cache, but nothing seems working.
Also when i got Nova immersive in settings, it shows me the black bar at the top of the screen, that also doesnt seem to work.
