When i shut my phone off and turn it back on it will get to the widget locker lock screen like it should but once i slide to unlock there will be no icons on my screen? I have root and am using widgetlockers home helper thing it also did this using lancher pro.
I usually have to turn the phone on and off a few times before the icons will show after unlock.
Any ideas?
Maybe you should set it to default when it asks which one you want to use..
Or I haven't understood your problem
COnfused.com
I would ask in the widget locker and go launcher help thread in the main android app section. I use both in conjunction and have had zero issues but I know the last go update was fixing some icon issues so make sure you update.
Also more info could be helpful. Such as what rom, kernel, etc
go lancher is set as the default. It's once you unlock from the lock screen there will be no icons.
I'm using the stock ROM rooted KE7 2.3.3

Are you using the integrated icon switching or are you using desktop Visualizer?

I'm not sure what you mean? I really haven't did anything but set go lancher as the default lancher and in widget locker i had to set it to use WL HomeHelper (optional) if i don't you can double press the home button and bypass the screen lock.
It's random when the icons don't come up after a unlock.

Are you using custom icons? If not, or even if so bring it up to the go dev team. Definitely looks to be something on their end. Have to tried to replicate it without widget locker?
Nothing to do with widget locker I think (I use it too in conjuction with Go Launcher) however there seems to be a bit of a bug in Go Launcher where icons randomly disappear - the last update was supposed to have fixed that but hasn't really, some still occasionally go missing from my home screens too. The easiest thing to do for now is to put all your apps and shortcuts how you want them, then backup the configuration from within Go Launcher preferences, next time they go walkies just hit restore configuration and job done. Just remember to back up the config every time you add or remove stuff.
I'm using go launcher and widgetlocker for 24 hours now and having no problems at all, initially the launcher was slow, but after 1-2 hours when I used it again, it was smooth, maybe cache related thing

I am using go lancher themes from the market. It did it again the whole screen is blank after a unlock no icons at all only the wallpaper shows. Lancher Pro did the same thing.
I can go into go lancher settings click on themes and nothing comes up.
I used widgetlocker and go launcher ex. I have not had any problems.
Preferences -> Operation settings -> Screen rotation (switch off)
I had the same problem, got rid of it by applying this setting. Wish you luck
Already had the rotation off.
If i hold down the home button after i unlock and bring up the task manger and find widget locker and do a force close all my icons come back.
As a note, I get this exact same issue with ADW Launcher EX.
Happens only right after a reboot, and not every time - WidgetLocker Lockscreen appears, I unlock and find a completely blank screen (Only the notification bar shows). Pressing the menu button brings up the ADW Launcher Ex menu though...
Restarting ADW Launcher doesn't seem to help, only rebooting a couple times until it does appear seemed to help me, but I'll try force closing widget locker itself next time.
I initially set ADW as default launcher, but then set the WL HomeHelper as default in widgetlocker settings, which I believe is the correct way to do it to block the home button from auto unlocking etc.
Edit: Restarted the phone just to test, and force closing widgetlocker does do the trick - minor annoyance only I guess

Yes it is for me it seems to only do it when i'm in a hurry lol
I use widgetlocker and GoLauncher too.
I've had the same problem this morning too, but a reboot of the device fixed the problem.
I've had similar issues without Widgetlocker installed, so I think the cause is to be found in GoLauncher. But the phone reboots very fast so I am not really bothered by it.
I used LP and switched to GO Launcher.
GoLauncher is set as default launcher at the first boot.
In WidgetLocker i disabled the homebutten with homehelper to stop the unlock by the homebutton.
No the problem:
When i reboot, there is a message that says "go launcher is not your default launcher." (Attach 1)
When i click ok, i'm in the assignments of WidgetLocker (Attach 2)
When i disable the homehelper in WL there is no problem when i reboot.
But i want to disable the homebutton...
Any ideas?
BTW: LP is disabled!
I'm using Litening Rom 6.1
I had exactly the same issue and stopped using Go Launcher as a result. It would only happen sometimes but it would require me to restart my phone. I now use ADW instead and it works fine.

Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM
Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol
Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!
Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.
What recovery are you using?

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.
Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

Hello i flashed elite ICS ROM with elite Kernel ..with default apex lancher..i really like the launcher but when i for example go to apex settings/drawer settings and i change drawer animation from fly in/out to none ...i touch home ... and when i open up my drawer the effect is still there when i look again to setting effect is chosen the same with other functions could something block my launcher or smg?

By the way the EliteRom already includes the Kernel so need to flash both unless the kernel is newer than the Rom.
Trying to replicate what you did, I went into drawer setting, selected none then hit the back arrow to back out to the home screen which was blank for a moment (I guess cuz the UI was restarting) and I clicked on the drawer icon and no animation occurred.
So it might be that you may need to press back instead of home to save the settings (home might be treated as a cancel & exit).
EDIT: Though if I go back and change it back to fly in/out, and hit the home button instead of back, I get the same blank pause, and animation returns. If I set none, and 'home' button again, blank pause, and no animation. So it seems to be working for me regardless if I use the back button or home.
What version of EliteMod are you using, and are you using any customizations?
actually i think that the kernel is bundled ... so you dont need to install it ... and to my problem a tried ..and still the same ... everything disappear from my screen ...and then it pops up i click to my app drawer and effect is back
i am using newest version
no customization
Go into Apex Settings -> About Apex Launcher and see what version you have.
I'm on 1.2.4 , if you're earlier click on the "Check for update now" and apply it, as I've done that in the past.
By the way are you using a DataSwap mod he provides (or sd swap if not that)? (and in that light, are you using an sd-ext partition).

I am using NOVA as my daily launcher. Whenever I open any app and press back key, instead getting Nova launcher home and I see stock touchwiz home. How Do I fix this problem? I can get Nova launcher home by pressing home button.
Mine is not doing that. I used an app called homesmack to set nova as default. That may fix your problem. Sounds like every action isn't defaulted to home. Just the home button.

I had that problem with Nova and sslauncher but only when I had backed out of gmail!? Really strange. Do as Aranen_Zen suggested and install a home switcher to see if it helps.
Thank, I will try home switcher. Does anybody know how to fix without installing any other app.

Not sure if you tried this yet, but go into NOVA settings and scroll to bottom...there's a setting called "set default home". It will show what you have set and can set NOVA as default there. Also, in Manage Applications you can clear defaults somehow if step above didn't work.
I have a Motorola Razr M HD (XT926) and am running into the same issue with Nova.
Pressing the "back" button to leave an app takes me to my default home. However, if I leave an app by pressing "home" I am taken to my Nova home screen.
OP, did you figure this out without installing another app?
Doctor, I did as you said to no avail.

I am not sure but with Nova update (or Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update ??) that problem has gone. I had setup Nova as default launcher but still was getting error.

I have the same problem with my Note 8.0 but it seems to only happen for the Gmail widget, which I use very often. I've tried Nova, Apex and GO launchers and they have the same results. I've tried the suggested home-switching apps but to no avail.
Getting exact same problem
I have a Motorola XT925 RAZR HD. Just installed Nova and set it as default launcher using the Nova settings... made sure the Home Launcher has no defaults... but yeah, backing out of Gmail or Text Messaging would show the default launcher home screen. Rebooting seems to have cured it, but I'll report back if it comes back. Kinda annoying but glad to see others having the same problem, means a software issue, not my phone! heh.
the home screen goes blank without any widget or app icon once in a while when i exit from an app. they come back after i open the app drawer.
any way to solve this?

I had the same issue with Pac-Man Rom on my GT-I9105P.
Seems to occur less often after I activated the "Pinch to enable expanded desktop" option in Settings -> Pac-Man -> Home screen -> General
Don't know why, though. Just played around with some settings to see if it gets better.
This seems to be a common bug of Trebuchet.
You can completely avoid it by installing a different launcher (like Apex Launcher).
Hey, I HATE the default G4 lockscreen. I have tried a couple of the 3rd party ones, (CM unlock etc) but non of them are doing it for me.
Anyone have any suggestions on lock screens for the G4?
I like C Locker from the Play Store on my G3. Requires root.
I too hate the stock LG lockscreen, the animations are SO tacky. Is there any lockscreen replacement that works with 1. Encryption and 2. Smart unlock (Bluetooth paired devices)?
Would love a proper AOSP replacement, or at least removing those horrible animations.
Ever since I debloated, I can only use the stock wallpapers on the lockscreen. Not sure how that happened, haven't bothered to fix it, but it's kinda annoying.
Try Hi Locker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
Every I change my lockscreen wallpaper it reverts to the default one after a while. Anyone know a fix for that?
I tried some third party lock screens, but none really do the job. C Locker is closest but even as a system app, it doesn't totally lock down the device. When you open the camera/phone apps from the lock screen, they aren't opened in secure mode, so e.g. the camera app will let you browse the photo gallery, the phone app will let you call non-emergency numbers and open the contacts list, etc. It's also possible to open the recent app list, even though it's supposed to be blocked.
Also, all of the lock apps require first swiping to open the PIN entry keypad. I wish it was just automatically displayed like on the stock lock screen.
Really, my only gripe with the stock locker is that the buttons are so ugly and it keeps reverting to the default wallpaper. (But I love that with C Locker, I can add DashClock widgets... can't believe Google removed such a nice feature! But I don't want to use it with these security issues...)
Also C Locker does have a nice trick to block the home screen by installing itself as the home screen (and then launching either the lock screen or your actual home screen app as appropriate), but it has an issue with ADW Launcher, that causes it to run whatever action you set to the home button, every time it's opened. (I guess it launches the real home screen before you actually let go of the button.)

I was not able to resolve that issue. Sorry.
I'm having another annoying issue ever since I installed XPosed. Sometimes the 1 key on the PIN entry just gets stuck and won't register. Only fix is to open the camera app and close it again, or reboot.
It might have to do with GravityBox lockscreen mods, since some of them broke it completely (just blank screen, no way to unlock); fortunately I could still reboot, and the problems wouldn't happen the first time after booting, so I was able to revert those tweaks. But even with all of the tweaks disabled, the stuck 1 key still happens at random.
So I figured out the stuck key issue. An app called Text Aide uses XPosed to force all text to be selectable by double tapping. That applied even to the lockscreen PIN entry buttons, so double tapping them (when typing repeated digits quickly) triggered the selection behavior, and then the button wouldn't respond. Removed that app, problem solved. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to prevent it applying to the lockscreen using the app's blacklist function.

Removing the stock gallery app means you can't change the lockscreen wallpaper.
