I tried lot's of CM10 or 10.1 roms which I have a same problem, when I open Drawer, sometimes it will crash and go back to home screen, it looks like the trebuchet crashed and if I get into drawer again, it spend a long time with a loading cycle.
Have you guys met a same problem?
I have never had that problem, have you tried clearing data on trebuchet and see if it gets reproduced (you will lose all widgets and shortcuts on homescreen)?
Seems like launcher is being killed in low RAM condition

I checked my RAM, there is over 250MB free RAM, but I am not sure if it is lower when I unlock my phone

WTF???
Does anyone else use Go Launcher?
Everytime I setup all my widgets just right and get everything laid out, as soon as I reboot the phone it erases all my widgets. I just a full wipe and wiped everything multiple times. Then flashed protekk build #18 (because I had no issues with it before), then reinstall all apps through market, then setup my widgets and same issue....
I just got this phone as a replacement (old phone had power button issue), I haven't returned my other one yet. Is there a chance it is an issue with the phone? Never remember having this problem with the other phone...
It only erases my widgets, I have one app icon on my desktop and it loads that back up but nothing else...
Seriously man??? You've asked this at least twice in the nightlies thread. I've tried to help you at least twice. You keep ignoring my replies.
If you keep ignoring the only people trying to help you, it's going to be pretty hard to get help.

Sorry, I saw your reply but didn't respond to it.
I am using the theme chooser, but I never had this issue with my old phone.
I'll try going to stock theme and setting up widgets then reboot, that should tell me if its a theme issue correct?
edit: so that worked, it kept the widgets...
Kind of a bummer that it does that with Go Launcher.
For anyone having this issue, just setup your Widgets and then in go launcher setting choose backup configuration. After that everything should be Honky dory.

Several times I have edited my app drawer order, grouping apps by type on each page (a page for games, a page for internet stuff, a page for utilities, etc.), creating folders, etc. Then I hit Menu > Save, and everything is fine, until I reboot my phone. Then it loses the app order, and a few apps get seemingly randomly moved to their own pages, so the total number of pages grows from about 5 to upwards of 8 or 9. It seems like the most recently added apps get moved, but not always. I move them all back how they should be, but they only stay until a reboot.
Anyone else have this happen? Or better, found out why? Or even better, how to make them stay?
Really? Does nobody sort their apps? Or nobody has had this problem?

I don't sort them in the App Drawer. I leave them arranged alphabetically grid or list. I do arrange the ones I most often use somewhere on the 7 Home Screens though.
They will not stay. It is an annoying problem. I use folders now to group my apps. And I have my apps sorted to stop the spacing issue.

Still happening on Starburst ROM 1.5, so the problem it's with TouchWiz and is not ROM-specific.
I made a backup of TWLauncher with Titanium, so when my drawer gets really messed up I restore data from the backup (killing the running process) and it does restore my app layout as it was when I made the backup. Not a solution, but a lot quicker than re-sorting 50 apps. If only I could figure out how to trigger a save of the layout...it seems to just do it occasionally and I can't figure out what triggers it (certainly not when the Save button gets pressed...as if that makes sense).
Had anyone replicated this issue on TouchWiz 3.5? (or is it 4.0... whatever the flashable one is that's newer than what ships with the device).
I know what u mean but for me its all good after i fix it a second time untill i change then itll revert to just before i changed
It only happened to me on 4.5 thiugh
Good thing actual tw4 launcher doesnt have that problem

Yes, it's a problem with TouchWiz - I can replicate this behaviour on my S2, factory 2.3.5 ROM without root

Bummer. Guess we have to wait for an official update to get an updated launcher.
are you saving the changes ?
You have to make your changes then hit menu again and save changes.
otherwise they don't stick.
after clicking save don't press anything for 30 secs or so
that seems to do it for me
if i save and immediatly go back it doesn't save

Okay, I'll do some organizing and give that a try.
hi all,
after updating my galaxy s2 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with kies, i had the same problem about sorting applications page.
i didnt reset my phone before or after updating with kies. first i tought that i might be about this. i was looking for a solution and i read these posts. without resetting my phone i just tried to delete files of TW Launcher.
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All(tab)
find and tap "TW Launcer"
tap "Clear data" button.
after that my home screen and applications screen look default.
applications screen sorted alphabetical.
i customized my home and app screen again and till now didnt change anyting, i mean didnt forget the layout of apps.
i wanted to share this little unprofessional solution with you =)
if there is a better way i want to learn.
finally i have a question, after updating to 2.3.5, when i tap contacts, it opens slowly, after 1 or 1.5 seconds lag(black screen) it opens. but not always. it happens just sometimes.
do you have the same behaviour?
sory for my english. looking forward to see your answers or comments.
i tried and there is no problem anymore

14th post,
see my firs post
I'm really surprised I haven't seen more people complaining about it but I guess most are not running TouchWiz.
To re-explain the problem I'm having..
You arrange all the applications in different panels the way you want (after you hit "applications" not the home screen panels)
After turning the phone off and on again Or plugging it in to the computer via USB and removing it, all the applications are a mess again. Not the way you arranged them and there doesn't seem to be any logic behind it.
It's not just the way they were the last time you turned the phone off or the last time you plugged in the USB cable.
I also thought having folders in an earlier panel may be causing later panels apps to get bumped around but I've tried it with the folders in the last panel and I get the same randomness.

About 1 out of every 3 times I reboot my Galaxy Nexus I end up with corrupted fonts. Rebooting again usually solves the problem, but it's starting to get annoying. Does anyone else have this problem, or have any idea what's causing it?
I am currently using the Gummi Custom Rom with Franco's Kernel, but this problem was happening on the stock rom, and other roms and kernels that I have tried.
Are you using the stock Launcher, or some mod?

It's Nova Launcher installed as a system app. I didn't think of the launcher because the fonts are still corrupted inside applications, it's not just limited to the launcher. It's not a true "mod", just a normal launcher application, the stock launcher is still present.

cool, thanks.
I've had the same problem several times. I have Nova installed but haven't been using it.
I'm using solely the stock launcher, and usually the corrupted fonts don't delve into the apps, just the launcher itself.
It's really annoying because the phone reboots itself randomly, then I have to reboot it again due to the corrupted font. Not that this happens everyday but one a week is often enough to annoy.
The problems seems to have stopped several versions of nova launcher ago. I guess the problem was fixed, intentionally or not.
I'm rooted and stock (official jellybean). Whenever I delete a home screen that I don't want, Touchwiz crashes. I've wiped and it doesn't help.
What's the issue with that?
I just checked and mine does the same thing. I don't feel like resetting my home screens, but you can try going to settings->manage applications, scroll over to all, find touchwiz home and clear cache and force stop, then try. I doubt it will work, but worth a try if it's bugging you.
If you can't fix it then worse comes to worst...or rather better in my experience...download and install Go Launcher EX. Way cooler than the TW launcher and you can still use TW features but not the TW widgets (calendar, accuweather, etc but plenty of great alternatives). If you have Titanium Backup I've even found that freezing (disabling) TW hasn't caused any issues if you're using a different launcher.

Yea, I know about 3rd party launchers and I even bought Nova Prime but I don't like them that much :silly: I actually like TouchWiz and always have (even though I had an EVO 4G). I'll just deal with 7 screens, 6 of which are blank

Haven't experienced this myself, but have seen other posts saying they fixed it by going to Settings, Home Screen Mode, switching to and applying Easy Mode, then switching back to Basic Mode.

Too much hassle (not really, I just don't want to do it )
I had the same issue. Ultimately and unfortunately I did a factory reset and it worked. I could delete home pages afterward.

I ended up doing the same thing today but as soon as I set my phone back up the way I wanted it, it stopped working again. I only have 3 screens instead of all 7 last time but I found a use for the extra screen.
So I have got here a brand new LG G3 with hardly any apps installed. Even then, the default LG Home UI lags terribly. It keeps on redrawing and refreshing itself every time I exit an app and enter the homescreen. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

Don't panic , try to make a quick factory reset for your device it should solve the problem , if not and you don't want to waste more time by sending it back to the warranty , u can flash a new stock rom using either tot file or kdz , u can find both of the ways in one thread here .
keep us updated
I was about to complain about the same. I think 2gb/ 16 gb version have this launcher redrawing thing. But totally unprofessional approach for ui and launcher ram management. This is happening since d85520a what a shame.
Or, simply install Nova Launcher and have a quicker launcher with way more options as well. Win - win.
And yes, most if not all LG widgets will not work
cough LG cough. it's their launcher, don't stress about lag sir.
i'd also recommend nova launcher. :good:
