[Q]Stock launcher(sprint iD)

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!

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!).

Lol, I know how to get to it, its what I'm currently using. I need to know how to keep it from being killed after using a couple of apps. It takes forever to load compared to the stock launcher2.apk that was in eb13. Its annoying.

I have every 3rd party launcher available, this doesn't come close to answering my original question. I usually use LauncherPro or Launcher7, but I want to try the stock one. If you don't have an answer to my question, don't post. Simple.

try that script

I assume you mean it's redrawing/reloading.
I had the same problem with LauncherPro when I was running stock with 5 home screens full of widgets...It would be quite delayed simply reloading the widgets when switching between landscape and portrait.
No problem now though since I rooted and Rom'ed!...It's been quite the difference.
FWIW...I hear TouchWiz Launcher doesn't have this problem. jk

I hate it when LauncherPro does that! But, I found a stock 2.3 launcher on the market by eugene373 or something like that, and I don't have that problem anymore.
Posted from my awesome EPIC.

Launcher Pro allows you to control its memory usage in the advanced settings. If you set it to "High", it will prevent all the redraws. I have 7 screens full of Widgets and icons and don't have any issues.

El29 wallpaper fix?

I've seen a thread on here about scrolling wallpaper being disabled with el29. Somebody posted modified APK, yet it doesn't seem to work, other than it allowing for.different dimensions in resizing. Most custom roms have it working, how do you fix it? I'd like to have stock el29 with wallpaper hack .

To my knowledge only miui doesn't have scrolling wp and thats only with certain themes.

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.

Hey, can you point me to an apk that works please? Thanks!

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.

Blend rom scrolls
sent from the near past

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.
This is irritating!

Flash the AIO mod and then flash other packages to make it stock again. I did that and now have scrollable wallpaper on my story k build. The only modification I have is crt off animation.

Thanks for the tip, but you lost me at "Flash..."
Not that I don't know how, because I do... but I've had a Moto Cliq, Nexus One, EVO 4G, Epic 4G, Nexus S 4G... now this E4GT... my flashing days are done, I'm just tired of the hassle.

An ICS secret (that's not so secret)

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?

Yes and no. It removes the TW launcher, with kills some background process that run if you just disable it.

Yeah. But is it better than that pushing the launcher to the back and ignoring it?

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.

Yes, it is better. But its still not the same as Vanilla ICS, like you said in the OP.

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

Camera on Lockscreen?

I'm running Calk's E4GT 2 v1.2 ICS ROM. I thought ICS was supposed to let us put the camera app on the lockscreen but I can't find anyway to do it. I know I can get a 3rd party app like WidgetLocker to do it, just wondering if there's a way right in ICS though.

It's not a feature on TW.

I'm not using the TW Launcher though, I'm running the vanilla ICS launcher. Shouldn't that make a difference?

he probably means touchwiz as a whole not just the launcher. i think there is a flashable zip somewhere in the theme/app subforum to get the AOSP lockscreen that has the camera shortcut.

Ah, okay I get it now. Half asleep at work. I'll look for it and thanks guys!
