nope, that won't restore home screen.
(may be it will restore lock screen short cuts)

Find red colored tw launcher
And restore only data, remember you can't restore widgets (its android limitations)
Rest of short cut and folder will be restored.

Thank you very much, that helped me out.
But how can i restore the shortcuts of the lock screens and all settings?

That you can restore with setting green colored. (one is for lock screen wall paper etc, another for setting menu)

Thank you

Using titanium to backup home screen
. I just lost all my home screen settings . Essentially I had clubbed apps relevance together and create custom categories on my home screen.
And after rebooting and recreating mount script of link to sd I lost everything on the home screen. How do I use Titanium to backup my custom home screen clubbing off applications
All I see in that titanium app is option to backup individual apps what is the option that will backup home screen customisation in full detail

The developers of TB really need to lift their game when it comes to documentation!

it defenetly worked i saw it dont know which one it was

[Q] how to save Home screen configuration

Is there a way to save the home screens configuration? Every time i flash a ROM I have to remember what icons i have on my home screens. Is there a way to save that using titanium backup?
Yeah if you backup your launcher's data with Titanium it will save the configuration so you can restore it over another ROM.
Cool thanks

Screen grabber like a screen shot? If so you just push the POWER and HOME. Button quickly at the same time to take a screen shot
download "busybox installer" from the market, install busybox.
Thanks guys

Launcher default issues

This started happening to me out of no where. Can anyone think of a solution or the cause of this issue ?
Everytime I hit the home key it will ask me to choose a default launcher. After I do, it will ask me again every time I hit my home key.
Im choosing Touchwiz, the other option is Go home since it comes with my rom.
I'm running Calkulins 2.9.2 rom.
I have uninstalled apps related to Widgets and launchers, cleared defaults etc..
How could I uninstall the go home app completely? Maybe that will do it.
Thanks in advance everyone !

First, you are checking the default checkbox before you select the launcher after pressing home right?
Yes. lol
I could only wish it was that simple.
Its not really a big deal but after a while its annoying having to push an additional button.

Well, just use root explorer or something to delete the application, or just use like titanium backup and un install it that way

Works fine for me. Settings > Lock Screen > Wallpaper > Gallery
or gallery -> choose image -> menu -> set image as -> lock screen wallpaper
what things have u tried so we can skip past any steps u have already done
I know how to do it, it just won't change. I have tried both settings then lockscreen settings and the gallery select picture and set as routes. I have cleared app data as well. I uninstalled quick pic so the only thing to manage pictures is gallery. I even tried removing nova launcher.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
The only thing it well let me do is use the stock wallpapers
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
so the option is there in the gallery app to use a pic as a lock screen but it just doesnt apply it? u do a battery pull since u removed quickpic? is it only ur lockscreen u cant change or is even ur home screen wallpaper too?
Yeah...option is there, just not applying. It lets me change home wallpaper, no problem. Didn't do a battery pull....Just a reboot. Is there a difference?
I'm also going to try wiping my cache in CWM now that I'm thinking about it.
*update* I have done all of the above...still no luck. It pops up with a message stating "wallpaper has changed" and everything. I'm honestly at a loss
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
maybe a conflict with quickpic or nova or some other mod/tweak...fastest solution i would say is make sure everything is backed up and wipe it and start over. maybe install apps one at a time checking that the lock screen works each time to try to pinpoint the app that caused the conflict
That was my next step...was hoping there was a simpler solution
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
Well the wipe worked. Not sure what was causing the conflict as all apps are now restored. Thanks for the suggestions!
