apex launcher issue - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Every time I go to manage apps and add an app to a category, apex seems to restarts itself. I press the home button and go back to homescreen and all the widgets reloads.
There are other occasions where it does this but can only remember this one off the top of my head.
Anyone have any idea?

i've had something similar happen on my Nexus 7 ever since the new update.
random times when i press Home, or press Back to get home, it take me to the screen without any icons/apps or widgets. and after a few seconds they all show up. i can even swipe between screens, and every since one is empty. but then they all show up at once.

What ROM are you using?

DINC Safe Mode Problem

Hello. So I got into a problem this morning while updating Golauncher EX. I updated it and when I pressed home, I accidentally chose to have GoTo (a lockscreen application) the default app for that. Now my phone can't return to launcher at all.
When I reboot I just get a blank screen and can't do anything besides bring the notification bar down.
I know I can easily fix this by going into settings, but I can't get to that without launcher. So I tried to get into safe mode (boot holding vol down, track pad, and menu) and I can get there after the phone vibrates (it says safe mode in bottom corner), but before I can do anything the phone reboots. I don't really want to resort to a factory reset yet, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Also I haven't rooted my phone yet.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
The only thing i can think of is press the search button, and see if that brings up the search screen. I would navigate my way to market or something, install adw, then hit home. The pop up for default should come up again, then you can make golauncher ex default?

Delete it from phone with computer. I think all the files pertaining to the app should be in sdcard/data and data/data...
Thanks for the tips guys. btw I tried using search, but nothing would pop up, but for some reason hitting menu would make a keyboard appear.
Anyways, something weird happened where when I tried booting into safe mode, my phone seemed to wipe all my settings and went into the normal launcher. It didn't delete all my apps, but made the majority of them strangely force close whenever I opened them.
In the end I just rooted my phone and everything is perfect now!
Good to hear.

[Q] Recent app button lag?

Is anyone else getting about 0.5 - 1 second stutter before the recent app menu opens?
When I press the button nothing happens and then I feel a vibrate and the menu opens a second later if the menu has more then 5 apps
More or less, yes.
yeah, I get that.. I think it's a thumbnail caching thing.. if you hit home immediately after and then hit it again, it doesn't appear to lag..
Could be wrong, though.
Yes I get this too. Not a problem in my opinion.

Home button vs lock button press when screen is locked and no lock screen security

Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

It seems to be a jellybean feature no way around unless a mod comes out...
All jellybean roms in Note I had this feature and i remember seeing this thing on SGS III jellybean too
Just install the S Voice app , "voicetalk_NLI.apk".
In S Voice, set "double click active S Voice" will fix the issue.
This actually worked! Thanks
But the problem is that i use another app (home2) to control home button which makes me able to control what app runs when double clicking home or even use a combination of home with back or menu.
Its a very good app if you want to try it.
This leaves me with trying to deal with my original issue tho or just return to old factory setting

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thanks man! used to annoy me so much having to open the app again
edit. There's one slight problem, now it lags a bit to return back to the home screen..

Anyones home button sticking?

When the phone is awakened via the home button (with no slide to unlock/password set), the "recent apps" menu opens (as if the home button was being held down)
Seems to mostly happen only when the phone is awakened. Anyone seen/heard of the issue?
Common issue. It was discussed a lot a while back, not so much lately. Either way it's not sticking it's a software bug the easiest fix is to use a lockscreen, but dwitherell posted a fix in the jedi thread a while ago. I think I have a link to the post (it involves decompiling files) if you want it

Mine sometimes does it too. But it only happens when the phone goes off after the screen timeout is triggered (a minute for me). And when I'll wake it again it brings up my recent apps, that's the only time it'll happen though. But that's still not supposed to happen is it?

Lock screen/wake up issues

Hi everyone,
I am on BlackBox 1.0.2 and I'm having some issues. First off I keep on getting this screen/widget and when I wake my phone up, it always goes to that screen even though it is not my home screen (I attached the screenshot). When I restart my phone it goes away. How can I make my real home lockscreen the one that pops up when I wake my phone up?
Also, sometimes I press the home button or the power button to wake my phone up and nothing happens and it just restarts or wakes up after like 10 seconds. I used to have a Android Weather widget on my lockscreen and when I removed it it got better but it is still doing this. How can I fix this? Also, what weather/time widget do you suggest for my lock screen?

Which lockscreen are you using? Look like swipe? If you want it to go to straight to home screen choose none for lock screen
☞ Sent from here☜???
Oh no no. I want my lock screen-home screen to be a different screen but the screen that I posted keeps on poping up and that automatically becomes my lockscreen-homescreen. The screens that I am talking about are all when the phone is locked.
Thanks

Tap and hold on whichever lockscreen widget you wish to be default, and drag to the left of your screen and make that widget the left-most "screen" in the panels of lockscreens.
Thats the problem, I cant drag it further right. I cant edit the screen that I posted at all. It goes away when I restart the phone but it soon comes back
