Launcher Pro Problems? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been running Launcher Pro Plus and use Desktop Visualizer to set Widgets with Custom Icons. If by any chance my EVO reboots or I turn it off, I loose all my widgets that were set on my homescreens. Wherever I had a widget set in will now say "Problem Loading Widget". This is a real pain in the A$$ after I put in plenty of time setting up my homescreens only to find them all jacked up after a reboot.
And Fede if you are on the site, please answer the questions and fix these issues on Launcher Pro's forums. Thanks.

looks like it having troubles reading the location of the widgets on your sdcard

Do you use apps2sd, native froyo or otherwise?
If you're putting either Launcher Pro or any of the widgets/apps from your homes creen on ur sdcard, then that would certainly cause the type of problems you're having.

Not using app2sd, I just use titanium pro to back up all my apps then use the built in batch to move to internal memory. I do keep all apps that I use as widgets on internal memory. Should I just clean slate everything and start from scratch? This is just a pain in the a$$ every time I shut down or reboot.
Anyone know how to get in touch with Fede the developer of Launcher Pro program?

BUMP, anyone else out there?

Well that's weird then. I guess try to start over fresh. Maybe clear the Launcher pro data/Defaults, or uninstall and reinstall I guess. That's pretty annoying.
I have never tried to contact the developer, but heard he's pretty responsive.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

I guess he has his own forum for bug reports and such.

Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

Yeah I am about to post up over there too. I was just trying to get a feel from users here. Thanks again.

I'm having the same issue - not with all of my apps, just some of them. Also, my custom bar at the bottom changed back to the stock launcher pro bar, and I'm getting force closes all the time w/ google and other apps. I'm thinking a fresh start might be in order for me too. I've screwed something up, and can't figure out what it was. It's fun to start over anyway

Testing the waters.....

I've just started breaking open some apks and playing around with the idea of changing some elements I don't like but I don't know if it'll ever be much more than that right now. It's mainly the Advanced Launcher I've been poking around in and blueifying (yes it's a word, shush!) I used the Eclair theme that's around here but anyway less chat, more pics... all three of them >_> Gotta start somewhere, right?
First thing I changed - the app drawer handle

Deleting icons now becomes a game...
I tend to lose interest quite fast in doing things but this is kinda therapeutic. If someone out there could tell me how to go about testing themes on an Android VM it would speed things up a lot considering I only have one G1 and it makes it painfully slow to test things. I'm gonna go hunt around for the information anyway but if anyone wants to point me in the right direction I won't complain
A quick way to test things now would be to use the new MetaMorph. You can test most things without flashing.
why would you flash the whole thing? up to now, you've only changed Launcher (I'm ignoring all the other icons you changed on purpose), so all you'd have to do is, after you modified your pngs (and put them back in the apk) just "adb push Launcher.apk /system/app", it will automatically overwrite the old launcher (killing the process first) and then load up the new one with the changes (don't re-sign it, don't listen to people, makes things worse)

I haven't been flashing the whole thing, only the themed files such as the launcher. I did try using "adb push" but for some files I tried it on earlier it lead to big problems with gapps FC and loss of all wireless service. Thanks for the heads up on MetaMorph. I found how to run different ROMs in an emulator but I'd have to throw on a Linux install for that so MetaMorph will help avoid that.

so i have this app and i dont know why

im using myns rls 5 and ive had this since 2 but never knew what it was. so i force closed it and i guess its not running or atleast its not showing it in the running apps. so what is it? do i need it? it needs like every permission it can t get.do i need it running? if so how do i get it running again?

Just a guess but do you maybe have a clock widget on your home screen? That's what the image looks like.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.
no i dont since theres a clock in the notification bar and lock screen it seems pointless to have a third clock anywhere.
if it is a widget i can delete it then right? why would a clock widget need every permission available?
i have it frozen with titanium backup for now and i dont notice any difference
Yea I would back it up in titanium backup then delete it so you could put it back what ever the hell it is.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.
I saw one of those at one point as well. I wasn't sure where it came from either, but I deleted it and haven't seen it in several ROM flashes since.
It's the htc clock/alarm/timer/world clock. So it's not gonna hurt to leave it in case you need to set an alarm, or just defrost as needed.
but all my clock,alarms, etc work with it frozen. someone asked in myns thread and the reply was that its the desires flip clock (or something close)

Yeah I love the go stuff, I use all of it. Very nice stuff.
Really like their stuff, but GoLauncher Ex started to be laggy as hell since the last 1-2 updates. :-/

Don't know what you mean... I have no problem with Go Launcher Ex...
any chances of them releasing go rom, go sense, go android 2.4, etc..
but go products are good indeed....
I use Go SMS Pro, it's so slick and fast.
Blows Handcent and Chomp out the water IMO.
sorry didn't understand your question (if you asked one).
I'm also a very big fan of GO apps, Launcher, Contact and SMS apps are very good alternatives!! I also have no lag while using Go Launcher.
i am using go launcher and go calendar at the moment..
have yet to try out the go apps... might try them out soon
Where did you take this theme for Go contact??? it's awesome...
I really like the go dailer, but I prefer handcent, because it has a true black theme, saves battery and I like black.

Mangled text on home screens?

Hello, I've got a weird error that I don't even know how to begin tracking down. Not sure if this is an ICS issue, an app issue, or a device (hardware) issue.
Several times now, I get a problem were, after a reboot, all the text on my home screen - names for apps and text within widgets is mangled somehow. Like pixels inverted, or boxed over, etc. (see screenshot)

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The first couple of times this happened, a single reboot made it go away. However with my latest occurrence, I've rebooted several times without a fix.
EDIT: It seems like my data connection may also require examination? Since on the 3rd or 4th reboot I was in my office with a solid WiFi connection (versus previous reboots I was in my car en-route), the problem has now gone away again.
My initial reboot this morning was as a quick-fix attempt at an absent data connection. Guess I'm off to research these "radios" everyone keeps on about...
EDIT 2: Ok, perhaps ignore the above. After a reboot made this go away, it has now come back spontaneously (i.e. just noticed it sitting in the cradle with the error again - no reboot this time.) CRUUUUD.
Are you using a custom Kernel? Some 'Overclock' the GPU to 512MHz, while Stock is 384MHz. Some devices can't handle the increase and cause screen artifacts. Post your Kernel details and I'm sure someone will point you in the direction of another Kernel if this is the case.
Not that I know of - should be all stock, since I haven't rooted or unlocked anything yet (just got the phone a couple of weeks ago).
Thanks for the help.
Stock launcher? Or using nova/apex etc?

Hi,
Another thread...:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646985
Nothing related to GPU overclock...just about this possibility...
Looking in different threads in Q&A/General.
If you are using the stock launcher...I think I saw a topic with this weird issue with the stock launcher...but I can not find it anymore
In any case clear data/cache of your current launcher,reboot and see...If you're on another launcher than stock,reinstall...
I speak only for the launcher issue.
Yep, stock launcher. Thanks for the other thread.
Seems to be at bay now. Will keep an eye on it.

[Q] Scrollable Dock (TouchWiz)

A few days ago, I started modifying my stock launcher on my Galaxy Tab3 (GT-P5200). I've focused on the dock.
Till now I've managed to modify the launcher so far, that I can store up to 13 icons on the dock.
I also managed to remove the text from the icons. This is how my screen looks at the moment.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now I want to continue modifying the dock by making it scrollable (like the homescreen or appdrawer).
And before anyone suggests me exactly, what I do not want, I'll explain briefly what is important for me.
I don't want to use a different launcher (like Nova / AWD / Apex / or something like that).
I also do not want to use any other app, which modifies my launcher.
I simply want to modify my stock launcher (TouchWiz) by modifying the code itself
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me or at least could explain to me
where the scrolling of the homescreens is defined in the code.
.
Wonder how you get 13 icons in the dock? Wish I had that option.

Well, ... I just modified SecLauncher3.apk. But I recognized that these 13 apps won't survive a reboot.
When I reboot my device, the system/launcher (or whatever it is) resets the dock, so that only 10 apps
will be shown after reboot. I still have the possibility to put up to 13 apps on the dock, but after reboot,
only 10 apps will be shown.

Oh, yeah...thanks! I had never concidered (with my limited knowledge) that the launcher is also just an apk running on android. big ah-ha moment for me there. Thanks for the eye opener.
