Ok. So I saw some reviews on Go Launcher and decided to try it. I didn't like it so I uninstalled it and everything I installed / widgets/apps from store.
Now I can't get into the dialer (crashes with android.process), can't download anything from market, randome google.process.gapps crashes..
how can I fix this? I don't want to factory reset.
Please help.
Are you positive it was Go Launcher? I doubt that was the cause of the problem. I might be wrong though, but I've never had any problems with that app. Hope you figure it out.

It might help if you can give more info.
Are you rooted or stock. What else did you delete besides launcher?
FML.....
Why or how does Titanium backup freeze apps behind the scenes? Contacts Storage and Calendar were frozen. I unfroze them and rebooted. now everything seems to be okay
Yes it was GO Launcher EX. I just removed that and yes I am rooted.
thread can be closed...
For the future.... I backup in recovery every few days and delete older ones. This way you don't have to start from scratch if you eff something up. Very helpful since I like to tinker with different ROMS and settings.
Don't freeze any apps. Why people do that stuff is beyond me.
You have 768mb of RAM, more than enough for the OS. Android is very good at managing memory.
Go launcher couldn't have caused those issues. All it does is replace your launcher.

I know I've read somewhere that homescreen icons disappearing after reboot is inherent to Froyo and TW. However, this only happened to me after installing Bonsai 3.0.1 using the twcrushd launcher. I've been using Bonsai since 1.1.4. The TW launcher in Bonsai 3.0 did not have this behavior.
I didn't hear anyone else talk about this, so I assumed it was just me. I even Odin'd back to stock EB13, re-rooted, and installed Bonsai 3.0.1. Still no change. Other launchers do not seem to have this issue.
So I guess my question is, is this normal behavior using twcrushdlauncher?
Just to make it clear, it's not that I get the default icon placeholders waiting for the SD card. The icons are completely gone.
Same exact thing for me. Moving back to phone works to get them back but then tried to get them to stay after moving back to sd, no luck. I'm guessing the card may need to be reformatted. I hope I'm wrong.

Save yourself the time. Already tried it. Backed up the SD card, formatted on computer, formatted again in phone. No change. LOL!
Thanks for the heads up. I just changed all my apps back to phone memory. Guess till we figure it out, just need to deal with the memory hit.
Grr... I won't be able to fit all my apps on the phone memory. Does Darktremor's Apps2SD work on our phones? Wonder if that would fix anything...
I had apps in phone memory disappearing, so just went back to TW3.

Have you tried another launcher? does this kind of behavior happen in any other app?

No other launchers don't have this issue. I've had serious fc and apps getting screwed up w/ launcherpro in the past. I really liked the twcrushd, but I just tried go launcher ex and I think I've found my new launcher. After 2 days it seems fast, stable, and I like it's features and style.
hmm
I have noticed this for a while with any froyo rom. The icons do show a generic image on the launcher after boot....but, they do eventually display the proper image and work correctly. Sometimes I have to restart my launcher, but within 2 minutes they fix themselves. It seems to me thats the last task thats completed after booting up. I have never had them disappear for longer than 2 minutes
Launcher pro fixed it for me. Actually, regular twlauncher worked too. Guess it was just twcrushdlauncher. Thanks for the help!

Yeah that was usually the case for me too, but I left it on for hours before realizing they weren't there. Also, when they appeared late, there would usually be a generic android logo placeholder. This was not the case here. I really tried everything as described in the OP.
holes45 --> All the other launchers worked fine for me too. I'm glad you found a replacement you like!
Yup, me too. Put TW3 back on and restored data from Titanium and all my homescreens were back to before upgrade.

Took a wrong turn at Albuquerque!?
I don't know when or how, but I deleted TWLauncher from my apps, and like you all my apps keep disappearing and it is ridiculously frustrating! I hate LauncherPro and was wonder if their were any alternatives or a way to d/l TWLauncher from somewhere?
I'm using Go Launcher EX and loving it. Unfortunately I don't have twlauncher anymore either (except in a nandroid backup somewhere) but I'm sure you can find it. You can even take the apk from an older version of bonsai (inside the zip file in system/app).

Thank to the both of you, helped me out in two different ways and I appreciate both, never thought about looking in the actual zip file and its nice to just know what Im looking for, again THANKS.
WTF???
Does anyone else use Go Launcher?
Everytime I setup all my widgets just right and get everything laid out, as soon as I reboot the phone it erases all my widgets. I just a full wipe and wiped everything multiple times. Then flashed protekk build #18 (because I had no issues with it before), then reinstall all apps through market, then setup my widgets and same issue....
I just got this phone as a replacement (old phone had power button issue), I haven't returned my other one yet. Is there a chance it is an issue with the phone? Never remember having this problem with the other phone...
It only erases my widgets, I have one app icon on my desktop and it loads that back up but nothing else...
Seriously man??? You've asked this at least twice in the nightlies thread. I've tried to help you at least twice. You keep ignoring my replies.
If you keep ignoring the only people trying to help you, it's going to be pretty hard to get help.

Sorry, I saw your reply but didn't respond to it.
I am using the theme chooser, but I never had this issue with my old phone.
I'll try going to stock theme and setting up widgets then reboot, that should tell me if its a theme issue correct?
edit: so that worked, it kept the widgets...
Kind of a bummer that it does that with Go Launcher.
For anyone having this issue, just setup your Widgets and then in go launcher setting choose backup configuration. After that everything should be Honky dory.

After updating to HTC sense 3.0, I can't manage to make the Adw Launcher work or even find it on the phone.
That's what I have tried so far:
Uninstall and reinstall
Tried to change the default application but it us turned off for it.
Restart the phone a couple of times.
Please help me.

Thanks guys

You could try a factory reset but you will lose app data. You may also try going to Rosie in your apps and clear defaults and do it on adw as well then kill Rosie and when you go to your home screen it will ask which one you want to use and select it adw and set as default. This may or may not work.
Found the solution, after updating it made HTC Sense the default so I had to find it in app management then change it to Adw.Launcher. The annoying thing is that I lost all the info in the process.
Thanks for your help.
Happy New Year

I am completely stock and I have never rooted my phone or done anything other than use Go Launcher Ex up until a month ago. I recently discovered that I don't have to use the TWLauncher but that I can in fact use the regular Launcher on my Epic 4g Touch. So I uninstalled Go Launcher and started using the regular launcher (I'm on FI27 by the way).
The problem is all of my widgets dissapear off of my home screen after each and every reboot (and yes, I wait for Media scanning to complete. Still nothing). This is true for stock widgets and 3rd party widgets. The only issue I've found like this in my Google searches are people that had their apps/widgets moved to their SD card. Mine are not. I'm completely stumped. I really don't want to use the TW launcher and as much as I like the flexibility of Go Launcher EX I really really like the smoothnes and simplicity of the standard launcher and would hate to have to go back either of the other ones.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to do a wipe simply because I am really lazy and don't want to have to reinstall my apps again, but if you think that is necassary please recommend the best way to make the app download and reinstallation as quick as possible for my lazy behind.
Thanks!
App Backup & Restore from play store will backup the apps but not data. There are similar apps for backing up sms and call logs too.

So I'm guessing from your reply that you either A: Have not heard of this issue and therefore do not know of a fix or B: You have heard of it and the fix is to restore my device.
I'll give it another day or two to see if anyone else has come across this and found a fix but I guess I'm gonna have to try a wipe. I just hope that works.
Thank you for your suggestions sir and I will start researching further to try and make my restore as fast as possible.
Guys. Wondering if anyone has the same issue ?
I have organized the apps in my app Drawer into folders.... however after I restarted the phone.. the app Drawer does not memorized it... all the apps that I put into folder now no longer organized... however the folders are still there , just with out the apps...
I tried this on both mine and my wife ...
In my app drawer I put all of att apps in a folder. Then I restarted the phone. The folder is still there with all the apps in it. I do know, if an app get updated, sometimes they move out of any folders. Recently my note4 did go though a bunch of app updates, do you think this is what may have happened?
app drawer bug
I checked mine.. some of the apps are in folder but some other folders become empty with no apps in it.... this didnot happen with my note2 eventhough there is app update..
Happened to me as well. I found a reasonable workaround though: in the app drawer, open the settings menu, select Sort By and then select Custom (not aplhabetical). This fixed the problem for me.
Thanks i will give it a try
It does not work. My apps still come out from the folder...
I'm having the same issue. In addition, some TouchWiz settings are not sticking through reboots. It's starting to become really, really annoying... I shouldn't have to reorganize 80+ apps every time I reboot the phone. I've already done a factory reset, tried clearing data on the launcher, and neither have worked.
I hope there is an update to fix this soon... i am surprised we are not seeing much feedback on this..

Seriously just got the "note4" and this happened to me as well.
We need help please fix this bug. .
I went back to using Nova Launcher Prime. No more issue.
My wife's phone also suffers from this. It is a rather annoying problem made even worse by the fact that I have to listen to her complain to me about it numerous times.

Darn, was hoping to give TouchWiz a fair shot before I replaced it, but with this and a few other glitches, I'm going to switch to Nova also until it gets a few bug fix updates.
Smart Launcher here. I like simplicity and it groups apps into categories for you. You can edit and add of course.
