Anyone else have a problem with their widgets not updating? Happens to me on CM9 and stock ICS. BeWeather, DoubleTwist, Apollo player on ics, lg weather on ics.

Restart your Launcher and see if that helps, or try a different launcher all together and see if you get the same issues.
I have the same problem

i'm using Atrix 2 ICS official release and it worked perfect , but now my widgets freez/won't update , i was on apex when this first happened and i thought that this was a prob with apex so i uninstalled it and started using stock blur but still it happens from time to time , restating the launcher helps , but it would be awesome if someone can give me a proper solution for this .

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'm almost positive it's 3rd party launchers. I'm getting the random reboots as well. It's a shame because I love go launcher.
Yep random reboots here adw ex....

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 was wondering if anyone who has updated their nova launcher had any luck with getting wallpaper and live wallpapers to scroll on any ICS roms. I was just wondering if anything was fixed in the update to resolve the issue. I know Samsung took it out a while back. Thanks for the help.

I think this is a known issue that was supposed to be resolved soon (hopefully). I know it still works in Go Launcher.
From what I know, the recent ics stock based roms had this feature removed so its going to stay that way eventually. If you're on an AOSP type rom, your wallpaper will scroll.

Nova doesn't have built in wallpaper scrolling. It piggy backs on the phones native ability, which has been removed from this phone since el29 gingerbread. Its not broken, it just can't work on this phone. Same goes for apex launcher.

So one thing thats kept me from really using ICS daily is the fact that I can't restore Launcher pro from titanium backup. It just says restoring and nothing every happens and I have to kill TB. I've had this across any version of ICS that I try. I can download it and re setup my home screens but thats annoying. If I install from market and do a restore from inside launcher pro it will work, but if I reboot then it goes back to default launcher pro. Any ideas?

Being a long time launcher pro fan I was pissed when I realized I could not get launcher pro to work correctly on ics. I bounced between nova and apex for a while before landing on nova prime. I have been happy with it. Might wanna give it a spin.

I'll give it a try....Hopefully they will fix launcher pro, if not then may be moving to a new launcher....

That's what I did too. I am currently using Nova Prime and loving it. It is better than launcher pro in my opinion.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.

The last time I looked it had been like over a year or something without an update on launcher pro.I don't know if it is being maintained at all...

I think the problem with laucherpro and ICS is the LP Widgets. To get around this I've started using the "Android Pro Widgets" available in the play store with the "Modern ICS APW theme" which are just as good if not better than the LP Widgets.
edit: I forgot to actually state that I am using LauncherPro on ICS and had the same trouble. Just restore the app without the data and it should work fine. Take my advice above if you need the LP style widgets
Has anyone been able to get asked to work on jb ?

Nova Launcher beta is working perfectly well. I'm an Apex fan, but until things get sorted out, this is the next best thing.

Emailed with Apex Launcher support team, said JB support will come in next release, would not give me a time frame.
Update has been posted for FC on JellyBean (JB)
This morning an update was posted that fixes the FC while on a JB build.
The new update fixes this. Its now 4.1 compatible

Finaly WORKS!!!!! goodbye nova for now!
So glad apex is jb compatible now
DO YOU JELLY?
Updated today and now works. It doesn't have the cool JB features like AutoArranging widgets and shortcuts, but who cares. I use the same setup all the time.
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

Could just be nova launcher. I've always found it lags more the apex launcher

What part of the world are you located? It could be a thermal issue. Also do you have the cup optimization setting turn on?
