So I am using a Samsung Galaxy i9000M (Bell Canada Carrier) and I've tried the following launchers:
Launcher Pro
ADW Launcher
Go Launcher
after several days of using these launchers they always seem to crash and I have to uninstall/reinstall the launcher all over again.
anyone know of any launcher to run themes that doesnt fail on the Samsung Galaxy i9000M???

i think it happened to all launchers this is maybe because they use the same framework so clearing cash and stick with only one launcer at a time ( not switching between them might solve your problem )
try also clearing the delvik cash and partion cash as well from CWM
For us middle eastren users Arabic language has same problem but with TouchWiz4 it keeps on looping between Samsung Galaxy S blue logo and prompoting to select Home

I've tried Launcher Pro, ADW, and GO Launcher and all have caused random reboots. Thought it may be an app, but after a factory reset it continues to occur.

Thanks for the great advice! I'm well aware of the stock launcher and have my reasons why I'd like to ues a 3rd party one (resizable widgets, more screens, ect...).
The stock launcher supports resizable widgets and scrollible widgets as well.

I've had no issues with the stock...Within 5 minutes of using the 3rd party ones I get the reboot. Maybe they aren't optimized for ICS...Guess I'll stick to the stock for now.
eh I thought ADW just updated for ICS.
Anyone else experience this?

Looks like the paid version of ADW was updated on 12/7/11 so it may have been updated for ICS. I was using the free version which hasn't been updated since 12/22/10.

This. There are updated drivers for 4.0.3. I suspect they will fix this.

I'm almost positive it's 3rd party launchers. I'm getting the random reboots as well. It's a shame because I love go launcher.

I had this issue on a Samsung Epic 4G, thought it was the phone, but now got a Motorola Photon Q and SAME THING!! I uninstalled the 3rd party launcher (Go Launcher) and it stopped! I had this problem previously with Launcher Pro too! Epic was on Gingerbread, now this Photon Q is on ICS 4.0.4.
So one thing thats kept me from really using ICS daily is the fact that I can't restore Launcher pro from titanium backup. It just says restoring and nothing every happens and I have to kill TB. I've had this across any version of ICS that I try. I can download it and re setup my home screens but thats annoying. If I install from market and do a restore from inside launcher pro it will work, but if I reboot then it goes back to default launcher pro. Any ideas?

Being a long time launcher pro fan I was pissed when I realized I could not get launcher pro to work correctly on ics. I bounced between nova and apex for a while before landing on nova prime. I have been happy with it. Might wanna give it a spin.

I'll give it a try....Hopefully they will fix launcher pro, if not then may be moving to a new launcher....

That's what I did too. I am currently using Nova Prime and loving it. It is better than launcher pro in my opinion.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.

The last time I looked it had been like over a year or something without an update on launcher pro.I don't know if it is being maintained at all...

I think the problem with laucherpro and ICS is the LP Widgets. To get around this I've started using the "Android Pro Widgets" available in the play store with the "Modern ICS APW theme" which are just as good if not better than the LP Widgets.
edit: I forgot to actually state that I am using LauncherPro on ICS and had the same trouble. Just restore the app without the data and it should work fine. Take my advice above if you need the LP style widgets
Having problems with apex launcher pro. Love the launcher in general great customisations but having problems with home redraws when returning to the home screen from apps in particular chrome beta and the play store.
Is anyone else having these problems or does anyone know any workarounds that would prevent this from happening?
Thanks, tim_2812
I'm also having this problem with different apps. This is probably because of svoice. Maybe you should disable or uninstall the svoice and try again.

Which firware you are using?
Apex options / advanced / tick "keep in memory"
Or add " sys.keep_app_1=com.anddoes.launcher " to build.prop.
Reason I ask is that the stock jb launcher is way faster and smoother than apex or nova but I can't use the stock launcher right now because I use 240 DPI and want 7x6 grid. The stutter when opening app drawer is unbearable. I tried different kernels and even different Roms same thing.
Anything available yet or should I just go back to stock density.

Why not? I bought a nexus so I could implement mods like this. I think the stock density is a waste of the huge display.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Dunno about Apex launcher but with Nova reportedly* you'll get smoothness if you go in to the animation speed options and select stock speed.
(* not my tip - I've always stuck with stock speed on Nova is working fine for me on JB)
I am using the paid version of Nova, which was updated yesterday to support JB animations and it is nothing but butter.
I am stock no root.

What version? I'm on 1.2.2 beta 4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I still can't quite work out if I find Apex or Nova as smooth as stock, and can thus switch back to them and get customising.
There'a a mod in the themes section. I havent tried it, but it might be worth a look.

That's because stock launcher has nothing in it compared to Apex. I've run 3 JB roms now with apex launcher and Franco kernel. Fast as fast can be. I have to say I am quite disappointed in JB though, I find there is not much to their update.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Tried Nova Prime on a couple of JB roms, set to fast (2above stock) smoooooth transition. Ive never had issues with Nova on GNEX.

Another reason to like the stock JB launcher is the fling to remove apps. Now that should be implemented into every launcher.

Okay, the touchwiz launcher didn't install at all and the Motorola homescreen launcher FC's every time even if I put it in system/app. I installed it on my skyrocket in system/app and it works there but the circle widget doesn't work.

the touchwiz is an app manager to install the launcher, and i figured the razr one would fc becuase its meant for smaller screens and not jb, ill look for another one for jb

Yeah but the circles widget won't work at all. And it's not just from this either, I found another thing with the launcher along with the widget and it won't work. It says problem loading widget and under it it says the widget won't work on 3rd party launchers.
