Is there a way to keep it from being killed? Because whatever sprint did to it when they changed it from stock to sprint iD, it now takes forever to load my setup and the app drawer, and its getting annoying!
Sent from my always stock, EC05 Epic 4G
I think the only things you can do that I know of is not run the "infected stock launcher" or sprintID and install a 3rd party laucher that looks like the default launcher or install the stock launcher from ASOP. From what I can tell the "infected" launcher is in launcher2.apk so sprint at least left us the option of stock without rooting even if they don't realize it.

So, from what you said, I'm gathering that we can still access the stock launcher2.apk? Because, the launcher2.apk is sprint iD in EC05? I guess I didn't understand what you said well lol

That's what I get for trying to type and I talk at the same time...
If you just try to switch to the stock launcher by clearing Twlauncher as the default, and just selecting "launcher" when you hit the home button, it will activate SprintID for the "clean" ID (which is lame!).

One of the biggest reasons I bought plus, was to be able to resize my widgets on my home screen. I'm not certain what other features it gives you.

LauncherProPlus and the Sense Launcher are mutually exclusive apps. if you use one you dont need the other...so why are you still using both?
once I went with LPP i never went back. i can confirm that Sense runs in the background. I completely removed the sense launcher and almost anything else that was sense, since you can't use any sense widgets on LPP. everything is working fine for me
I prefer ADW, but I just wanted to say in calkulins ROM thread he has a zip that will remove sense for you. I used it on his rom and MYNS WORM 2.2 without any issues.
Awesome guys. Thanks for the input. To my knowledge there are only two versions of launcher. There is pro and pro plus. I have calks remove sense zip. Ive been going back and forth with sense and lpp for a while now. I think im gonna fully jump on board with the lp band wagon.

Is there any way to disable / kill the sense process (without having root and running a ROM without sense)?
Why not root. With the newest version of unrevoked, it gives you full root. S-off, nand unlocked. And if you need to turn in your phone you just flash the stock non rooted rom. Root gives you so much more! Just my 2 cents

I'm a big fan of LPP too. Sense will run in the background unless you remove it (such as using the above mentioned script). If you just Kill Sense, it will come back so that isn't really an option.

Launcher Pro is a great Home replacement. Like Sense. I was just asking what the popular to go about using it was. Like do all LPP (Launcher Pro Plus is the paid version, 1.99, well worth it) remove sense, i mean you cant use anything sense related inside LP ie. widgets. If it runs it in the background why keep it

use titanium backup and freeze sense
I strip Sense out of the ROM's I use. I used to use LPP, but have switched to Go Launcher.
The best cure to keep sense out of your rom is to go with CM6
going with CM is a surefire way of going senseless. but sense based rom are better period. why? you get full use of your Evo! hdmi and 4g. Im on Calks Evio2 rom using LPP and then ran calks remove sense zip and i have never had better battery life. 31 hours with 5% left at plug in.
As for getting sense back. just reboot into recover, wipe cache and dalvik 3x each and reflash whatever rom you had to begin with. wont change anything except give you have the sense launcher.
the best setup for LP is to flash Myns themed LP zip, and then update from the market. then remove sense. this gives you great looking widgets. if you use plus anyways. im always open to help. so pm if needed or hit me up here
I downloaded the launcher but is there a link to the widgets? I have a few but they say, "Problem loading widget."

That's controlled by you launcher not lcd density. Go into your launcher settings if on one that has options and find where it says rows and columns. Up the number for more columns(sideways) or more rows(up and down).

For future reference, this is a limitation of using a custom resolution with the Market. There's certain resolutions that work, and most market apps will only install with these resolutions. LDPI(120), MDPI(160), HDPI(240), XHDPI(320). Anything else will give you "This app is incompatible with your device". Sometimes you can get around it, other times you cant.

Yeah its adw sometimes it will drain it but go into your running services. Settings>Applications>Running Services. And turn off some things that are running like DRM Services, Sns (if you don't use facebook), .com.samsung.info. android core apps, google services. Etc when your not using your phone these things don't need to be running but will reappear when you need them.
Also quit turning your phone on to look at the battery it won't sleep right if your constantly waking it up....

Why would Sprint/Samsung disable scrolling on wallpapers?? That's stupid, now many live wallpapers are ruined since you can't see the whole scene.
I would like to know a good fix as well. Even knowing which roms have it enabled would be nice.
You dont need a custom rom to fix it. Just install a different launcher. I use go launcher ex and everything works great, including scrolling wallpapers.
I'd like to keep the stock launcher.
Also when I upgraded to EL29 the microbes live wallpaper went poof and was gone. Had to google it to get the apk to get it back.
Calk 2.8.1 fixed the scrolling wallpaper issue.
+1 I've tried everything to get the scrolling wallpaper back on stock EL29 without going to a custom ROM. I even pm's Calk to see if he could do a zip for that feature, but no response yet.

I like to use tw 4.5 launcher and even though it is custom, scrolling wallpaper still doesn't seem to work. Getting a custom launcher still doesn't let you properly resize the wallpaper, unless you replace the gallery apk.
I appreciate work by all the devs, but there isn't a rom out there that I like too much. Most of them make visual changes I am not fond of, or brightness settings. I know that both calcs rom and blazer have working scrolling wallpaper and are both on el29.
Am using unnamed now, since it is still very stable and fast. Had to disable updates via terminal emulator to prevent el29 from downloading and notifying me every hour. Problem with that is it also disables profile and prl updates.

Bump, anyone? I really hate that my tw launchers nor none of the gingerbread launchers work. I'm not fond of adw, lp, nor.go.
I flashed the AIO mod and it has working scrolling wallpapers. I think samsung disabled it when they turned on continuous scrolling through homescreens. It looks a little funny w/ some wallpapers to jump from screen 1 to screen 7 backwards.
Edit: make sure you flash the "preflash" zip too or it won't work.

Don't want to be "that guy" that brings an older post back up to the top, but if I'm wanting to stay stock (I just got this phone, I've had several other Android phones in the past and I don't feel like messing around with custom ROMS anymore)... there's no way to make scrolling wallpapers work again?
I use ADW EX and if I use "Wallpaper Set and Save" from the market, I can get static wallpapers to scroll, but that doesn't help with live wallpapers.

Ok... people are complaining about TouchWiz on ICS, or posting methods of disabling it...
How about removing it?
Its easy. Most of the ICS roms out there are pre-rooted. So just go to the market and download root uninstall. Go to system in root uninstall, go down to TWLauncher, and uninstall it. Bam, Ice Cream Sandwich Launcher for you. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
I popped off TouchWiz and all the trash bloatware in about 30 seconds, rebooted the phone, and it runs awesome.
TW is not just a launcher. Its implemented heavily into the rom.
Is this similar to going to Settings/Applications/Scroll to TWLauncher and Clear Defaults/Press Home key and selecting Launcher?

i dont really mind TW i think its pretty cool. some widgets are pretty cool too.
And when i say TW i mean TW4. but hey. nova and trebuchet launchers pretty beast
I read that TouchWiz was somewhat hardware accelerated pre-ICS, is this true?
When ICS fully ports over to our GSII's will it be 100% hardware accelerated?? Does anybody know?
Am very curious because I've tried other launchers and they dont feel as fast as TW.

All you really did was remove the TouchWiz Launcher, but in reality TouchWiz is injected throughout the whole system and there really is no true way to get rid of it as it has it's own twframework-res.apk. Most of the apps that appear to be AOSP and theme'd TouchWiz aren't so, they are TouchWiz apps and most can be replaced with AOSP apps.
We have a nice theme that does most of this for you.
Posted thus same comment in the post your screens earlier today or yesterday I am glad to see other people know about this easy fix
