Having problems with apex launcher pro. Love the launcher in general great customisations but having problems with home redraws when returning to the home screen from apps in particular chrome beta and the play store.
Is anyone else having these problems or does anyone know any workarounds that would prevent this from happening?
Thanks, tim_2812
I'm also having this problem with different apps. This is probably because of svoice. Maybe you should disable or uninstall the svoice and try again.

Which firware you are using?
Apex options / advanced / tick "keep in memory"
Or add " sys.keep_app_1=com.anddoes.launcher " to build.prop.

So I am using a Samsung Galaxy i9000M (Bell Canada Carrier) and I've tried the following launchers:
Launcher Pro
ADW Launcher
Go Launcher
after several days of using these launchers they always seem to crash and I have to uninstall/reinstall the launcher all over again.
anyone know of any launcher to run themes that doesnt fail on the Samsung Galaxy i9000M???
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA Premium App
i think it happened to all launchers this is maybe because they use the same framework so clearing cash and stick with only one launcer at a time ( not switching between them might solve your problem )
try also clearing the delvik cash and partion cash as well from CWM
For us middle eastren users Arabic language has same problem but with TouchWiz4 it keeps on looping between Samsung Galaxy S blue logo and prompoting to select Home

I've tried Launcher Pro, ADW, and GO Launcher and all have caused random reboots. Thought it may be an app, but after a factory reset it continues to occur.

Thanks for the great advice! I'm well aware of the stock launcher and have my reasons why I'd like to ues a 3rd party one (resizable widgets, more screens, ect...).
The stock launcher supports resizable widgets and scrollible widgets as well.

Are you sure it´s a 3rd party launcher problem? I´va had reboots and freezings just using the stock launcher.

I've had no issues with the stock...Within 5 minutes of using the 3rd party ones I get the reboot. Maybe they aren't optimized for ICS...Guess I'll stick to the stock for now.
eh I thought ADW just updated for ICS.
Anyone else experience this?

Looks like the paid version of ADW was updated on 12/7/11 so it may have been updated for ICS. I was using the free version which hasn't been updated since 12/22/10.

This. There are updated drivers for 4.0.3. I suspect they will fix this.

I had this issue on a Samsung Epic 4G, thought it was the phone, but now got a Motorola Photon Q and SAME THING!! I uninstalled the 3rd party launcher (Go Launcher) and it stopped! I had this problem previously with Launcher Pro too! Epic was on Gingerbread, now this Photon Q is on ICS 4.0.4.
I'm still waiting note 2 to arrive to Turkey. I'd like to ask has anyone tried GN2 with other launchers like nova or apex. If than, what do u lose?
I think it's hard to pull down notification bar one handedly and gestures included in nova and apex are helpful in this situation.
I think you lose PageBuddy, which is helpful when you pull out the Spen.

I think you got me wrong; I'm talking about pulling down the notification bar with your thumb of right hand when holding phone in your right hand.
In nova you have gestures, swiping down anywhere on the screen is enough.
I use Go Launcher and it runs extremely well. No problems found. Gesture support is included so pulling the notification bar down with a gesture is very useful on this big screen.
I tried Nova but 'Go' is better as it has a lot of extra 'bolt on' apps.

I am using Apex (paid version) and it's serving me well, with a bunch of decent settings to play with.
I am using nova prime version and its working flawlessly...

Hi...I am also using go launcher..everything is working fine except for 1 thing. With go launcher, when I remove the s pen it dosent pop up the s note page automatically. When I go back to touchwiz this feature works fine. Does this happen on your device too?
Thanks

I just tried it and can confirm the pop up S-Note does appear without any issue on Go Launcher, when the pen is removed.
I take it you've enabled this feature in the S-Pen settings?

My apologies...what i really meant was the page buddy feature was not available when extracting the s-pen with go launcher..the pop up s note works fine when selected in the s pen settings on either launcher.
Thanks.
I was asking the question (on another forum) about "what we loose" if we use another launcher.
So you can confirm everything works ? (except Samsung widgets I imagine)
What about default gestures like Covering the screen, sweeping for a screenshot, shaking for updates, moving the hand over the GN II to wake up
Anyone else having the "shadow bug" on Apex? How can it be fixed please?

Do you know what bothers me on Go launcher Ex? Indeed, it IS the best launcher I´ve seen so far as well, but what still makes me using another launcher (Nova) is the App Drawer. It doesn´t matter which theme I´ve tested...the drawer always looks cheap or is lagging on Go launcher Ex.

You can use an alternative app drawer like this:

The gestures all work including those you mentioned and split screen, so do all features with the S-Pen. Anything that's a Touch Wiz feature such as Samsung Widgets, Page Buddy don't. There's little that don't and you get more pros than cons using another launcher.

Salut!
Yes I had the problem using APEX either on stock or omega 3 ROM. Was very obvious with transparent widget i.e. APW and very annoying.
There is a fix for the S3 saw that from another thread were a member stated that fix should work for our NOTE 2.
So I gave it a try...
The fix is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894633
Somehow using CWM and that s3 fix ZIP did not work for me. So I used root explorer extracted the libhwui.so renamed the original one in /system/lib and copied the extracted one
And voila indeed fixed after rebooting
There might be some side effect i.e.: in EMAIL when scrolling there can be flickering flashing on some mail with HTML/images but it seems only if DEVELOPER option force GPU rendering is checked...I'm not 100% sure on that one but noticed it on some mail
So I confirm the statement of the XDA member the S3 FIX is functional on the NOTE 2 but possibly with some side effects....
Cheers
Jean-Marc
Hmm I'd better stay away from side effects and wait to see how it goes with a later fix maybe
Using Nova Prime. Good.

What, may I ask, exactly is this shadow bug? I have been using Apex and it seems to work flawlessly with no problems.

Just converted my maguro GNex to the takju 4.2 build, and now I found out my Hololauncher HD isn't working neither is Apex launcher.
Anyone else experiencing problems and are there (temporary) alternatives as a launcher ?
EDIT: Nova Launcher works!
Nova is a no go also

they need to update the launcher to work with 4.2
he has a beta that works. in your nova settings, hit the update, menu, choose beta, give it a try. it's still not perfect, notification drop down does not work, but the launcher buttons do.

If you want a replacement launcher, Nova Launcher has been updated to run on Android 4.2.

Hi everyone, I just bought my g pro for about a week now n I discovered a very annoying problem!
I m currently using nova launcher, it's very smooth except when some kind of apps being installed and running. I dunno how to name this kind of apps. These apps are for example sidebar, swapps, floating notification, glovebox, swipe home or even the Facebook messenger chat head. When these apps re activated, the launcher will lag in home screen, but when u open the other apps or the app drawer, they re actually smooth, the lag will only exist in home screen. It is not only in nova launcher cut also other launcher even the lg launcher..
Do u guysn hv this problem?
How can i solve that?
Sorry for my bad English but reli need some help

I dont have any lag at all on stock launcher. Possibly you could clear the cache and resolve this. Or a factory reset. On some androids ive even heard of pulling the battery to do a hard shutdown has given desirable effects when having lag problems though I dont know why that would work. Hope you get it solved.
Not only me having this problem but my friend too
He is not using the g pro buy instead gk
So I think it maybe a rom bug
