I am on CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA and never had an issue with 15-30 tasks running in the background every so often. I recently bought Widget Locker and then downloaded some widget clocks and thought maybe that was the issue, so I uninstalled them all. I've always had Droid Wall and Task Killers, but this problem has just popped up since a couple of days ago. Could this be related to the Widget Locker lockscreen?
And tips on how to stop these apps from starting on their own? It's really annoying.
Also, these clock widgets I've downloaded always seemed mini and tiny on my phone. In pictures they were an acceptable size, like a normal clock app. Why have they shrunk on my phone? Widgets like D-Clock.
Thanks in advance.
Bump
.
No shameless bump.
task panel has an auto kill feature.
Maybe this has been addressed. But I switch between sense and launcher pro sometimes. I have all my widgets on both launchers, does having widgets on both cause more of a battery drain ? or affect it in any way ? Should you only have widgets on one launcher at a time ?
Anyone ? Has anyone noticed a problem
Shouldnt cause excessive drain because the launchers wouldn't be running at the same time. And if they do, only one will be updating. So if you had twitter on both, but you are currently using launcherpro, only launcherpro's twitter widget will be updating. As soon as you switch to Sense, you'll have to either manually update for it to catch up, or just wait for the autosync.
I'm running the latest Revolution ROM 2.1.2 and I wanted to try Beautiful Widgets for the first time. I bought the app and installed it... but I don't see any extra widgets when I go to the widgets screen in ICS. Am I just missing it somewhere? I feel kind of stupid
Reboot the phone, sometimes widgets do that.
Hi there
Just got my new oneX and have a question about the stock calendar widget (2x3 one) It doesn't seem to update and there is no refresh button. When I add a calendar event this does not update on the widget and sometimes I have noticed that the widget shows events a on 17th when in fact the day is the 18th.
I have noticed some other threads about this but not seen any actual fixes. It seems pretty bad that a Google widget does not work on their own OS though
If anyone has any suggestions for a replacement I would prefer to keep the same 2x3 ratio.
Thanks!
Buzz launcher is working really well, no widget support but I have searchbar, wallpaper, and notifications are coming through fine(I don't have a number icon but they show on lock screen and in drop down) also I just managed to get stock jb camera and gallery working. I've spent a few hours trying every launcher I could get and the best two were go launcher and Buzz launcher, although google now launcher is available and great except for the wallpaper support.
At this point I have a mostly stock(not rooted sadly) up to date 3.6.8 unlocked fire phone. I've added Google play store, installed Buzz launcher and glovebox, and pushed stock jellybean camera and gallery via .apk file. I'm also using chomp sms, gmail, stock dialer, chrome browser and apus booster.
Any suggestions or ideas? I'm loving the hardware but we seem to have a small following and very few developers behind us which means we're on our own.
launchers I have tried and had issues with-
1. Yahoo Aviate, crashes on launch.
2)ADW- worked well bot no widgets or wallpaper.
3)Nova-no wallpaper or widgets but stable.(beta has same issues)
4)Holo Launcher(regular and HD)- no widgets or wallpaper
5)DU Launcher- no wallpaper or widget
6)Themer- wallpaper support but random crashing after sleep
7)Smart Launcher 2-no wallpaper or widget
8.)Action Launcher 3- no wallpaper or widget
9)Everything Me Launcher- no wallpaper or widget, crashing
10) 2Tap Launcher- crashes quickly no wallpaper
11)CM Launcher- no wallpaper, crashing rarely but mentionable
Working launchers
1) Buzz Launcher fully functional except for widgets, my daily driver for now seems to be the most stable so far
2)Google Now- works very well but no wallpaper support but very stable
3)Go launcher- wallpaper works(i couldnt change it from the stock wallpaper but it was better than a black screen, ran well no crashes for two days)
* as of the update on 4/4/15 go launcher no longer has wallpaper at all
4)Lightning Launcher- works perfectly (only last because it is the only paid app I listed)
Useful Apps/Options
Stock JB Camera and Gallery(Will post .apk asap)
Google Play and GApps
Glovebox (sidebar/dock)
Chomp SMS(works well but must be kept running or will not notify)
*I've switched to hangouts for sms and it's working really well(hangouts dialer was less than perfect, but did function)
Also using Google play music and still searching for new options daily while waiting on fire os4
Workarounds
Configured gestures via buzz to launch google now from searchbar, doubletap screen for JB Camera, tied Chrome to as many apps as possible to mimic default browser.

Homee launcher works, widgets, wallpaper, etc. But most themes are a bit feminine for my tastes. Been using it for a week or two pretty neat overall.
A new launcher that supports some widgets and wallpapers
Dodol Launcher from the play store
To get wallpaper to show you must go into advanced settings and enable exclusive wallpaper. As far as widgets go it's pretty limited and seems to only support it's own built in one's

Launcher Lab
Launcher Lab works perfectly except for no widget support, you can however use its built in widgets. its fully customizable so getting a native look isn't hard.

Hydroman, this works perfect. Being a former Mi phone user, this is like going native. Only issue is lock screen not working. Still default fire lock screen takes effect. Any suggestions?

I am getting my notifications from Hangouts, Facebook,XDA App, and all my mail accounts. But I've been using NotifierPro Free since before 4.6.1 update. I'll uninstall it and let you know some time tonight or tomorrow morning if I'm still getting them.
On non rooted? My fav Holo Launcher Plus.. Notifications bubbles on Icons Are Working there.
On rooted with notification bubbles:
Nova with Missed It!
Google Now Launcher with Xposed Gel Settings and Missed It!
