Several times I have edited my app drawer order, grouping apps by type on each page (a page for games, a page for internet stuff, a page for utilities, etc.), creating folders, etc. Then I hit Menu > Save, and everything is fine, until I reboot my phone. Then it loses the app order, and a few apps get seemingly randomly moved to their own pages, so the total number of pages grows from about 5 to upwards of 8 or 9. It seems like the most recently added apps get moved, but not always. I move them all back how they should be, but they only stay until a reboot.
Anyone else have this happen? Or better, found out why? Or even better, how to make them stay?
Really? Does nobody sort their apps? Or nobody has had this problem?

I don't sort them in the App Drawer. I leave them arranged alphabetically grid or list. I do arrange the ones I most often use somewhere on the 7 Home Screens though.
They will not stay. It is an annoying problem. I use folders now to group my apps. And I have my apps sorted to stop the spacing issue.

I will try to replicate it. I am using ADW EX so I will switch it up and see what happens

Still happening on Starburst ROM 1.5, so the problem it's with TouchWiz and is not ROM-specific.
I made a backup of TWLauncher with Titanium, so when my drawer gets really messed up I restore data from the backup (killing the running process) and it does restore my app layout as it was when I made the backup. Not a solution, but a lot quicker than re-sorting 50 apps. If only I could figure out how to trigger a save of the layout...it seems to just do it occasionally and I can't figure out what triggers it (certainly not when the Save button gets pressed...as if that makes sense).
Had anyone replicated this issue on TouchWiz 3.5? (or is it 4.0... whatever the flashable one is that's newer than what ships with the device).
I know what u mean but for me its all good after i fix it a second time untill i change then itll revert to just before i changed
It only happened to me on 4.5 thiugh
Good thing actual tw4 launcher doesnt have that problem

Yes, it's a problem with TouchWiz - I can replicate this behaviour on my S2, factory 2.3.5 ROM without root

Bummer. Guess we have to wait for an official update to get an updated launcher.
are you saving the changes ?
You have to make your changes then hit menu again and save changes.
otherwise they don't stick.
after clicking save don't press anything for 30 secs or so
that seems to do it for me
if i save and immediatly go back it doesn't save

Okay, I'll do some organizing and give that a try.
hi all,
after updating my galaxy s2 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with kies, i had the same problem about sorting applications page.
i didnt reset my phone before or after updating with kies. first i tought that i might be about this. i was looking for a solution and i read these posts. without resetting my phone i just tried to delete files of TW Launcher.
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All(tab)
find and tap "TW Launcer"
tap "Clear data" button.
after that my home screen and applications screen look default.
applications screen sorted alphabetical.
i customized my home and app screen again and till now didnt change anyting, i mean didnt forget the layout of apps.
i wanted to share this little unprofessional solution with you =)
if there is a better way i want to learn.
finally i have a question, after updating to 2.3.5, when i tap contacts, it opens slowly, after 1 or 1.5 seconds lag(black screen) it opens. but not always. it happens just sometimes.
do you have the same behaviour?
sory for my english. looking forward to see your answers or comments.
i tried and there is no problem anymore

14th post,
see my firs post
I'm really surprised I haven't seen more people complaining about it but I guess most are not running TouchWiz.
To re-explain the problem I'm having..
You arrange all the applications in different panels the way you want (after you hit "applications" not the home screen panels)
After turning the phone off and on again Or plugging it in to the computer via USB and removing it, all the applications are a mess again. Not the way you arranged them and there doesn't seem to be any logic behind it.
It's not just the way they were the last time you turned the phone off or the last time you plugged in the USB cable.
I also thought having folders in an earlier panel may be causing later panels apps to get bumped around but I've tried it with the folders in the last panel and I get the same randomness.

Updated Google Now today, and I have a few bugs.
The worst bug: When I tap on the menu key, the menu only quickly flashes.
I cannot get a card back if I accidentally swipe it away.
I cannot remove a stock from the stock card.
The vioce search is not working.
Also, although not a bug, the widget design looks too simplistic, displays minimal info (guess Google wants us to come inside), takes up only 4x3 space as a 4x4 widget. If I shrink it down to 4x3, then it will take 4x2 space, and so on. Drives me nuts.
As their flagship app, I am surprised at the low quality of this major update.
Anyone else care to share their feedback?
Maybe uninstall and re-install? Maybe try a reboot? I'm on rooted bone stock and it works fine.. I think as more cards come up the widget will use more space hence the large 4x4 space required .. Voice search working fine as well as the menu key long press
Thanks for the input. I am on stock rom and have rebooted to make sure I have a clean start. I will try un install and reinstall.

After you use long press to enter Google now, could you tap on menu again and see what happens? Mine will only flash the menu. Definitely a bug.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still the same bugs. I have also seen the same complaints in the play store now.
I finally had to uninstall the update and everything is fine again. Saw a lot of similar complaints on Google play. Can't believe this comes from Google and their flagship app.

Yea.. You're right.. Once in GN the menu is borked..
Yes, my menu button in Google Now is not working either, just to confirm and complain. WTF. Such an obvious mishap. I have not seen other phones complain about it though.
my google now is working as it was before as far as i can tell. I do a long press on the menu button on the 'button' next to the home key or long press on the google search bar to bring me into google now. Then I press the menu key which brings me to settings page
The settings page has the Google Now at the top, then voice, then phone search, then privacy and accounts. Everything works fine running cleanrom 4.0.5
My menu also flashes and then goes away.

The only work around is clicking the weather card in Google now and pressing settings. It doesn't flash then.

Same thing happening on my rooted note 2.
On Google Play it looks like most of the issues with the menu key are from GN2 users, except one report from a S3 Mini user.
The other major complaint is that the weather hourly slider is gone after the update.
And the widget sizing problem is popular too.
I cleared data in app settings menu for Google search and all is well.

There is another thread on xda where someone with the HTC sensation is having the same issue. I have a friend with the international note 2. He said he had the issue first couple tries and then it fixed itself. I tried cleaning data, uninstalling and using a themed Google now apk and nothing works. I'm rooted on clean ROM ace 4.0.5

Same problem on my stock sprint note 2.
Where's the fix?
Same bug here (stock unrooted). Clearing cache/data doesn't help. Visiting the weather card does work around the bug.
Running jbsourcery v5 (4.2.2). I can't get any process to stay running at all. Lmt dies on me and restarts after browsing the web for a bit, after that it seems to die and restart every 5 mins. I downloaded sidebar today and its the same story but worse. The memory doesn't even need to be loaded, just lightly using my phone it dies and doesn't come back until I start it manually, this happens about every 5 mins and is EXTREMELY annoying. I've tweaked every single memory setting back and forth and also tried converting both to system apps but they force close and don't work.is there any way to force android to keep a process running or keep this from happening?
Edit: I should mention this has never happened with the weather bug status bar temperature. It sucks because both those apps are completely useless if they don't stay running
for anyone else with the same problem whether its a different app or not, i think i found the answer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012330
i just copied another file in my init.d, renamed it and added the info for the app and restarted. i checked it with rom toolbox and it shows the OOM group as being excluded... vs foreground, visibile, empty app, etc. time will tell but i think this is going to work and i can think of another 2 or 3 times this would have been amazing to know. in any event, hopefully someone else may find this useful.
noobish disclaimer: it would be HIGHLY advised not to do this with any apps that have a large memory footprint
aaaanddd. it still doesnt work, app already disappeared. would this be classified as a legitimate memory leak?

lol i was just about to mention that. i wasnt finding anything about it at first because i was googling locking processes in memory. once i changed processes to applications, i found a thread mentioning it, and so far, it looks like this might have finally solved it. i havent had sidebar close yet so its looking pretty good.

GWIZ
TouchWiz...Hacked and Googlized
GWIZ uses the T-989 4.1.2 T-Mobile Jelly Bean final update as a base. The project's purpose is to offer extra functions and better looks over stock while maintaining maximum stability, while increasing speed and battery life.
Also Aesthetics have been considered and vastly improved over stock.
Summary: Going for it all here, aesthetics, speed, battery, extra functions, updated kernel and ROM provide an improved look and 'feel'. For this project I have used the GoogleGallery and camera as well as the GoogleLauncher and adding back the `clear` button on Notification panel return to the extra toggles features, flashlight, reboot menu etc etc. Features:
Google launcher
NO ADDS
VOL WAKE
FOURWAY REBOOT
23 TOGGLES
CUSTOMIZABLE BOOTANIMATION
NEXUS KITKAT UI SOUNDS
DEBLOATED
CSC TWEAKS
Theme work returned the clear button, =] that was fun and a ton of digging for days. now the blue bars are gone and full function returned...
Much more that I didn't forget.
Xtra Functions
BLN a.k.a. back lighting notification.
ScreenShot on statusbar
PowerButton on status bar. uses = tap to lock the device or hold it down to pull up the reboot menu
overclockable kernel to 2.3ghz... is that an extra function? close enough
Long-Press Menu2Kill app

Flashing....
***DISCLAIMER***
First of all... If you have rooted or flashed a custom recovery to a device then you have voided that device's warranty. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD_Cards, thermonuclear war, and no one but yourself is responsible if you get fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me or anyone else for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Collectively, and at the same time. By downloading you agree that you alone are responsible for your actions and device(s).
_____________________________________

WIPES ==> wipe all except external sdcard and internal sdcard
1. Install TWRP recovery. WIPE the following partitions in TWRP recovery ====> /system /data/ /cache/ dalvik cache/ /preload/ everything but internal and external sdcards... unless you want to wipe those as well then go right ahead.. also wiping everything is a good way to start over if coming from builds of another source.
2. Install ROM from /sdcard/ aka internal /sdcard/
3. After flashing completes, reboot
4. LET IT SIT A FEW MINUTES
5. Sign in to WI-Fi if available, then sign into your Google account
6. Choose Google launcher when prompted pick "Always" then "OK"
7. open play store and allow Google search and keep to update...
8. reboot.. if Google store seems stuck it is updating... just hold tight or press menu and hold to kill PlayStore then enter it again a few moments later. Remember to Reboot.

BUGS:
1. FC While using GoogleCamera in video mode and tap screen.. Instead of taking a still shot it force closes. This is not my bug so to speak its well documented on the XDA threads
2. While its not a bug really, but mentionable, before the Google launcher is properly integrated with Google Search, a few apps need to update through the playstore...

nope I tried again just like I always do and nothing I can compute.
Its deodexed.. for this ROM you can just delete the odex files and theme away... I noticed that the md5 sums stayed the same for the .apk part after odexing.. meaning the original app didnt change a bit so just delete the odex part and theme.
just rebuilt the app triple checked it referenced with wanam's guide for Toggles and same result everything worked but after using the flashlight it lagged about 10 secs before becoming responsive.
I have taken logcats of the occurances and have presented them to wanam 's thread or guide to see if anyone can help. its beyond my knowledge at this point and no book to read that I have found,
anyone that wants to help the Flashlight project chime in and or give it a try.
I've noticed the flashlight toggle lag issue with other ROMs as well. The only one which did not have the issue was your JellyBean Odexed 3 ROM. What a mystery haha.
Oh really! I didnt realize that thanks ill look into why maybe that one works better.
I dont beleive I put toggles in that one at all.
Maybe I was thinking of the wrong one. I dl*d. Jellybeast odexed 3.zip
And no toggles but a flashlight app in that rom by tesla
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think the only difference with that Jelly Odexed 3 ROM was that the toggles weren't customizable. Can't change the order, can't remove or add certain toggles. They were all there. So maybe it was from a different source?
I use the toggled flashlight daily.
anyway all is well I guess no complaints or bugs yet.. Bueno

So far the ROM seems great, fast and stable. I really like the customizations you've done to it. I know this has already been mentioned but my only gripe is the flashlight toggle lag, especially turning it off. That said, the original stock ROM didn't even have a flashlight toggle (thanks Samsung).

downloading now... is the calendar sync fixed? I like the stock calendar better than google... specially the monthly view... in google calendar it does not show the details. I will be flashing Gwiz shortly, I have been running shadow xtr3me until now and it is starting to slow down... thanks!!
Tried to download the Google calendar.. It won't find my calender just spins. Anyone else get the sync errors under the Google account in settings?

One other problem I've found, the built in email client does not work with Hotmail. The stock Samsung one does automatically. Seems to be the stock client in this ROM but I can't get Hotmail working automatically or by manually configuring.
Just flashed and really love it so far! Thanks for your work! Couple questions/issues:
I chose google launcher and removed most of the autogenerated shortcuts on the home screens and now have just 2 screens. Id like to add another home screen for media, how do I do that? Forgive me if this is a silly question.
Also, I seem to be going back and forth from 3g to H+ waaayy more than before. Any idea why this is? Seems to actually prefer 3g but im in Chicago and have always used H+ without trouble.
I don't have a stock calendar so I downloaded Google calendar and it wont sync with my google account. When I click "calenders to sync" it says loading, but nothing happens. Ideas?
The stock email app doesn't work for my corporate account, it force closes. Should I remove it and try to add it again???
Every time I restart, its says "android is upgrading...." ideas??
What do all of the icons represent in the toggle section of notification pane.
Thanks so much for your time.....

I chose google launcher and removed most of the autogenerated shortcuts on the home screens and now have just 2 screens. Id like to add another home screen for media, how do I do that? Forgive me if this is a silly question.
Also, I seem to be going back and forth from 3g to H+ waaayy more than before. Any idea why this is? Seems to actually prefer 3g but im in Chicago and have always used H+ without trouble.
I don't have a stock calendar so I downloaded Google calendar and it wont sync with my google account. When I click "calenders to sync" it says loading, but nothing happens. Ideas?
The stock email app doesn't work for my corporate account, it force closes. Should I remove it and try to add it again???
Every time I restart, its says "android is upgrading...." ideas??
What do all of the icons represent in the toggle section of notification pane.
Thanks so much for your time.....

To add another home screen simply drag an icon or widget to the right side, it will create another screen.
I seem to have the same problem switching way too much between 3G and H+, killing the battery quicker.
The stock e-mail app doesn't work properly for me either, hopefully this gets fixed.
I also get the "Android is upgrading" every time I reboot, any ideas dev?

I tried dragging the icon over and it just wouldn't work. I can add a widget to the other page but then when I take it away the page leaves as well.
I think I may have gotten a bad flash. It was the first time that I flashed a ROM on this phone. I suppose I will try again tomorrow. Thank you for your reply and keep in touch. I will update on any results that I have.
ETA:
some of the posts are really old for this device, what is the best way to wipe the device clean and start fresh with a new install? I'm using twrp 2.4..... thanks in advance.
ETA2:
So i triple wiped everything and restore my backup through twrp. Triple wiped again and re-flashed gwiz... let it sit for 10 minutes. I have been auto signed in since ive been flashing so....Updated relevant apps through store and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rebooted. Let sit 10 minutes. Things i noticed:
1:
Still cant drag icon over to set up another homescreen.
2:
Corporate email now works!!???
3:
Data connectivity is still an issue. I can see it bouncing between 3g and H+. it takes longer to send sms. Also, i havent mentioned it yet but when i try to place a call, i get a recorded message from tmobile... something about cant be completed. Tried all the options in settings, no joy.....

What is it that you did to try and fix it??
Look fellas this is old alphabet soup, the same letters are floating around in the bowl. just pull from the bottom and give to the top... Meaning fix it with some new stuffs. I know its hard to figure out what it is that works and doesn't.. that is what i am doing right now so try some new stuff like getting root explorer and dropping some apps in to fill in the blanks... what I gotta spell it out? you gotta read between the lines. expect perfect a little ways down the way this was just the alpha build with no number. -=]
here is a fix for now well its a possible fix I think you all will like it.
Hi guys.
A friend of mine gave me to take a look at her Grand Duos yesterday (now that sounds weird ). She said that although she had very little applications installed the handset would not allow her to install anything anymore even it was a mere application of some kilobytes.
I went to application management and storage and noticed something very weird. Although it is an 8GB handset (no external SD card attatched) and although the installed applications are indeed very few (Viber , Facebook, Instagram and another 2-3 apps) the system reports outrageous numbers in her data storage like 32GB or more which is simply impossible.
She is non rooted on stock version and the issue began since she tried to upgrade OTA to the latest version (I assume this must be 4.2.2). I own an XPERIA so I am copmletely unfamiliar with the Samsung forums and the general samsung tips-tricks and issues. Is it fixable. Is there a way to eliminate that issue? What are my options?
Sorry if I am asking something that has been answered before but due to lack of time it is impossible for me to look over tens/hundreds of forum pages to find something similar. I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks in advance.
Once I also got the same problem...
Go to app manager.... And then go to ALL applications Tab.... Press the menu key... You will see a Popup menu in which you will see.... SORT BY SIZE... select that... You will see at first it would be gallery which will be of 15gb or else.... Clear data of gallery.... And your problem would be fixed...

Great I'll try that. I assume this will also resolve the issue during which the phone won't allow her to install more applications, right?
Supposedly the reason why she cannot install even the smallest app right now is that the system detects an excess of 32GB of stored content. So once this is "cured" then everything will be ok.

Its because of gallery app its a bug actually....Follow what siddhu2199 said... If that doesnt work just got to setting - application manger - search gallery app and disable it...clear the data too and see if it works...u can enable it if u have any probs... I personally tried it and it had worked for me... If u want to view pics u can download QUICKPIC app which is very light and Awesome but after disabeling default gallery app u will not be able to view u r photos straight away from camera...
