Gingerbread launcher help

After doing a little research I have come across several articles stating the Gingerbread launcher from Modoco can run alongside OR instead of Sense. This goes against everything Ive ever read regarding Sense and launcher replacements but again, I did read this on a few different Android blogs. So if its possible does anyone have instructions ??

I would say just install it. Then go to settings, manage apps, find sense and clear defaults. Then hit the home button and select the gb launcher as your default. Im actually running a gb rom so I haven't tested it but I would assume it would work just like launcher pro or adw.

I know it will work as a replacement. The way the sites are explaining it though is that the launcher and Sense can co exist. I don't believe this is the case but I've come across it on at least 3 different blogs.

Easiest way to get activity Launcher Pro working

Iam using a TILT 2 with FR03 2.2 and my activity launcher expired. the easiest way i have found to fix this is by going to www.appbrain.com/app/org.adw.launcher this will take you to appbrain.com to adw launcher downloading site, but above in the banner it should say "download directly from the android market" click on that it takes you to the market and you can search and download adw or launcher pro.

I also installed adw launcher today, got it via the jbthemes site linked me over to android market. Have to say that with the 1245 kernel and adw installed it seems my device seems more stable (for now). Have been fairly happy with it like this so far, haven't had any force close issues like I normally do with launcher pro.

Me too, give me 5
But instead of using adw launcher, I choose zeam launcher, since IMHO not only it's faster and much lighter, but it also xda product
Using it with Neopeek's VanlijEclair build and 1124 kernel, really fast and stable for everyday use.

i'm going crazy with that launcher...
how i can update when i can't reach my settings to connect with the internet? My browser said no networkconnection found and i can't enable wifi or change the settings for 3G...
someone got an idea? i got a Rhodium 100

Same issue. Maybe there's a way to update via Winmo?

Excuse me for being blunt, but this is in no way the "Easiest way to get activity Launcher Pro working."
It would be comparable to someone asking "What's the easiest way to get Windows to be less buggy?" and being answered with "Switch to Linux"
On a thread-related note, I actually switched from ADW.Launcher to LauncherPro because after installing ADW, it began to FC constantly. Haven't had a single problem with LauncherPro since I switched 4 days ago.

ok how do you actually fix this... when I boot into android it just takes me to the browser which says launcherpro has expired and i can't get it to connect to my wifi...
i have the rhod 210 from tmobile. i just don't see how to install the adw launcher or reinstall the launcherpro...
been reading through the threads and googling answers but so far thel all just say to install adw or zeam... but how exactly do you install it if you can't get the phone to connect to your wifi?...

If you don't have a cellular data cxn, I don't think you can.
I'd just start over. If you delete your data.img, it should start you fresh. If that doesn't work, you probably have a build with LP burned into it. Get a vanilla FRX03 image.

I started over. I uninstalled Android then completely reformatted my Micro SD card. After which I downloaded the new copy of the BLAZN Android then installed that one, but still it gave me the same result...
sorry I am still a bit confused about the builds. Can you provide me the link for the vanilla FRX03 image?...
I read through the threads and TBH I got lost with the builds and the kernels
[EDIT]: I just installed the FRX03 build from Matthew Gonzales and now it's working fine. Now I just have to figure out how to get some stuff working properly again. Thanks for the help arrrgggghhh

[Q] Deleting stock launcher

OK, I've seen a few threads similar to this question, but no definitive answers anywhere. I'm currently running SnS Sense ROM 1.5, and I've been looking for a launcher that's a bit different than the stock one, mainly because I like the dock that's across the bottom, similar to what I had with MIUI. After trying out ADW, LauncherPro and GO Launcher EX, I've decided on GO. It just fits what I need best, and the calendar application (which is actually very important to me for work) is second to none, even standalone widgets on the market. Now, I want to uninstall the stock launcher, mainly because it takes up almost 7 MB of space on a system where I really only have about 45 MB of free space (with it installed). If I uninstall it, will I not be able to reinstall b/c it's a system app if I decide to go back to it, like what happens if you uninstall Facebook for Sense? Also, can I uninstall HTC Sense as well, or should I not uninstall either of them? I could really use the space though. Would freezing it via Titanium give me that space back?

Really if you are going to delete the launcher altogether (which I don't know much about) if you don't use much of sense, get an AOSP ROM. You would be able to afford to have an additional launcher on top of stock with plenty of room.

Nah, I had MIUI for about 3 months before going back to Sense....it's not Sense I dislike, it's really just the stock launcher. I like the integration of everything that Sense has, especially Facebook for Sense. I really kinda wanna just delete the launcher. I think what I'm going to do is set up GO launcher the way I want, so I have both Sense with stock launcher and GO launcher both running the way I want, then I'll make a Nandroid of that. Once I have that, I can reboot, delete the launcher and see what happens without fear of really screwing things up. I still would like an answer to my questions though, if anyone can help out.

TSF Shell Force Closes

Is anyone else using TSF Shell launcher? If so, have you encountered random and repeated force closes? How did you fix it? I emailed TSF Shell support but haven't gotten a response yet. I do know that it can take some time to fix an issue, but I was inquiring about any potential workarounds. Ive received this error regardless of settings in preferences.

*******EDIT*******
All of concerns and issues have been addressed and corrected. The developers even sent me a test version of a newer build which had a very small fraction of the issues I previously mentioned. I have really gotten back into loving this launcher again. Currently running Skynote 9.3 and ultimate icon theme. Before I was completely stock. I wanted to update this thread so people know that the devs do listen. I would have done it sooner but I was plagued with package file is invalid errors. I only got them on pre installed apps I tried to update. They seem to be gone now also.

I dunno why people pay that exorbitant amount for tsf... Years ago it was fresh and different but these days any 3rd party launcher can do the same things. I guess to each his own though, good luck with your issue.
Did you try clearing caches?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

If clearing the caches dont work, you may want to re-install the launcher.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried to clear the cache, but there was nothing to clear except data. So I cleared data, uninstalled then reinstalled, with and without rebooting my phone and still had issues. I also figured out something else that I was doing unknowingly at the time. Mind you I said unknowingly, but I had other launchers installed on my phone prior to this one and the boxes for keep in memory were checked. Once I unchecked them and uninstalled others, I haven't had an issue. I've been using TSF Shell for about 8 hours error free now so I think that was what my problem was caused by. I didn't know that keeping those boxes checked, and having multiple home launcher apps would/could cause issues. Before you tell me I'm stupid or should have known that, when I had my HTC Inspire 4G I had the following installed on it.
1) HTC Sense obviously
2) GO Launcher EX
3) LauncherPro with Plus Unlocker
After rooting it I installed these two below, plus the three above and didn't have any issues whatsoever as far as launchers crashing...well I take that back. LauncherPro did give me some issues but I didn't really care because I had moved onto better.
4) Apex Launcher with Pro Unlocker
5) Nova Launcher with Prime Unlocker
Now with my Stock Note II 4.1.2 I have Touchwiz, Nova & Nova Prime, TSF Shell, Next Launcher 3D Lite with full key (app of the day promotion) and I reinstalled GO Launcher EX just because I wanted to see what had changed since the last time I used it. At one point on my Note II there were at least 10 launchers installed on it all running smoothly believe it or not.

Yes I have a lot of free time on my hands for the most part, and yes I like to have a lot of stuff on my phone just to see how much it can handle. Hopefully this can help someone else fix this issue/something similar, or avoid it altogether. I'm going to contact TSF Shell support tomorrow with this information to see if it can help them out in any way. I want a solid 24 hour error free time frame to pass before I reach out to them though.
*Update 7.4.13*
The force closes are back again whether I've tried using the 12 available screens or a smaller amount. I can't even arrange/rearrange my widgets without serious delay followed by force closes. I'm emailing the developer(s) about this again and I'm including the link to this thread in my email to them. I'll keep this updated as often as I can regarding this.

[Q] asking me to upgrade from "http://m.lo-mall.com/amazon/us/"

I was surfing on my t-mobile Note 2 smartphone and got message asking me to upgrade from "http://m.lo-mall.com/amazon/us/" which sounds VERY suspicious. I went to settings and clear cache, history, cookies, form data, ...etc. After a few hours I still receive this message again from this website.
That website doesn't sound legit...why does it keep coming back? My phone is rooted (android 4.1.2) with stock rom with go launcher, and I freeze all samsung & t-mobile "updater" via titanium backup pro.
What is going on? Why/how does "http://m.lo-mall.com/amazon/us/" keeps popping up?

Go Launcher...
I assume its because of Go Launcher. I've been having the same problem today. I think Go Launcher is changing the start up for chrome to start at a specific webpage which is a phishing website. Try start chrome from stock launcher. I bet it would work fine.

It's even worse:
I also use GO Launcher and replaced the browser shortcut from stock browser to firefox.
And since yesterday it opens the stock browser with this m.lo-mall.com phishing page instead of firefox.

Arrgh! This happened to me too on my Galaxy Note 3. I did a google search for:
"m.lo-mall.com android"
And the results took me here.
I'm so glad that I wasn't the only one who got this. I hate Go Launcher, that is so shady. I thought about paying for this app but no longer. I just left them a 1 star review and warned other users about this malware.
I'm using Nove Launcher now.
Shame on Go Launcher!

Same here
Yup, I should be doing the same thing. I'm can accept ads but phishing? That’s not acceptable. Doing that to their customers... That's the worst thing they could do.

I have the same issue and it sucks hopefully someone will figure out how to fix this.

I have same problem too. I use S5 and I got this same upgrade page in my chrome asking me to update my phone.
I also use Go launcher. I just posted very angry review with 1 star on their play google app download.
Go Launcher was my favorite launcher. now I am very sad and angry.
why do they do this? is this Go developer on this site?

lo-mall phishing "feature" removed per go launcher facebook
according to their facebook page, it has been removed, https://www.facebook.com/golauncher?fref=nf
I'm glad of the removal, but it also make me question the company's judgement.. Personally I may still use it temporary, but now more open towards other launcher such as nova, ...etc.

Not fixed yet...
I just opened Chrome and CM Browser on my HTC One (M8), and it still sends me to the "System Upgrade" page. It's really very frustrating to see it every time I open up the browsers. Should I uninstall GO launcher from my phone and just use the regular HTC launcher? Any suggestions guys?
I've been having these problems for about a month (and about two weeks after I installed GO launcher).

per their facebook, it's fixed. Maybe wait a couple more days? Another good choice of popular launcher is nova launcher, or u can use your stock launcher. FYI, I have not seen the lo-mall phishing from go launcher the last couple of days. Hope that mean it's fixed...only time will tell.

here is a fix
