[Q] Force Closes on stock launcher 4.3 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Nexus with unrooted stock Android 4.3 (build JWR66Y) and I am experiencing a weird behavior with stock launcher since I have updated to Android 4.3.
It happens when I uninstall any app that is organized within a folder in the home screen, thus the removed app icon remains in that folder, and when I try to open that folder the stock launcher force closes. I mean, every time that I do the steps described bellow the stock launcher force closes:
1)Uninstall an app that is within a folder at home screen;
2)Although the app is removed, its icon still remains within its home screen folder;
3) Then, When I try to open the removed app folder the stock launcher always force closes...
I was just wondering if is it a known bug for Android 4.3? Is someone else experiencing the same issue?Is there any workaround for this issue?
I have searched about It and I couldn't find any help...
Thanks

Experienced the same issue here. Only fix for me was to install a different launcher (nova for me) and that didn't fc, also was a lot faster imo because when I pressed the home button, the stock launcher first had a coffee before showing me my homescreen.

[MOD] Modified & LagFixed TouchWiz Launcher

As you know, in galaxy s when we install 4-5 page programs , lags is appear
The touchwiz launcher is lagy too and when we Turn pages the lags is apear
I decompile touchwiz.apk and i explore folders and in res folder i saw few folders that named xxxx-xxxx-1024x600 and i guess this names means 1024x600 pixel like galaxy tab and samsung create a touchwiz that could be use in galaxy s and galaxy tab!
I decided to deleted that folders had a 1024x600 in the last of name and i compile apk and push it to galaxy and i see that is work lagless and very fast and smooth
I made an update.zip of this modified touchwiz and upload in attachment
Guys you can test it and leave Comments on this topic
I forget something
I change the homescreen_menu_shortcut_bg.png with glass one and you can see in pic
What firmware versions does this work on?
Does it overwrite the default TouchWiz?
Is it compatible with any Lagfixes?
this launcher is last version of touchwiz that used in jpm/jp6 roms and must work on any version of roms
yes , this launcher is compatible with any lagfixes
I am sorry, what has been changed from default?
Lowered the resolution or something?
i think you should work with the guy that did the TW mod script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792817
together you can hack tw and make it work better
Just flashed it via CWM on Voodoo-Doctor-Edition-JP6 and seems to be lagless flipping between pages. G8 job!
Amazing!!!!!!!!
It works!!!!!! Great Work!!!! This launcher is more fast, even using various widgets and an animated desktop. Thanks!!!!

No, based on what he wrote, he deleted icons and textures for use on Galaxy Tab. I wonder if it really does make it faster, though.
No effect here. Still laggy as hell.
EDIT: maybe it's because I'm using a lagfix? I have 5 pages of apps. Not that much if you ask me :S
Can you guys still uninstall apps from the drawer?
Last time I replaced TWlauncher I had lost this ability.
interesting.....
I recommend editing the LauncherConfig.java class to enable the fly in effect when opening the app menu, pretty nice.

My attachement contains a classes.dex which has the ability to uninstall (non system) apps from homescreen + fly in effect.
Remove .apk and .odex first, then push this to system. I always switch to an other launcher before doing that..
@Spike_M
When I delete all folders with 1024*600 in the name, apktool gives some errors..
On reboot touchwiz doesn't load - it gives me a fc error: The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.
How do I go back to the original touchwiz?

Do you have adb enabled? Otherwise you have a problem..
I have adb installed, but my pc won't detect the phone when plugged in via usb.
It seems like the only solution is to flash another update.zip via recovery. An update.zip of the original touchwiz should work, if someone would be kind enough to put one together. I wouldn't know where to start...
Edit: or is there a way to install an apk via the recovery menu? Long shot, I know. I was thinking installing LauncherPro would bypass the fubar'd tw.
i use modified launcher and its work like a charm
for those guys want to get back original touchwiz
1- download update.zip in attachment and copy it to your internal memory
2- instal it from recovery 2e or cwm recovery

Thanks but I can't access the internal memory of my phone. Now what?
Tw launcher is definately faster now. Try pinch to zoom and see! It even made me consider reverting from launcher pro.. Great fix, thanks!
its not 100% perfect but youre as close as ive ever seen anyone come so far!
damn nice fix!
I think I noticed an small improvement with that fix: 55apps installed (6 pages in app drawer), but there is still some lag...
By the way I'm really glad that there is people trying to improve the performance of TW. I really like TW but the app drawer is laggy I'm still using froyo stock launcher...

[Q] Gallery App not showing all pictures from /sdcard/DCIM/Camera

Hi,
old photos (from a backup of stock 4.1.2) are not shown in the Gallery app. Newly taken photos are visible. File manager shows all files correctly in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. The Settings menu of the Gallery app is a completely empty window.
I tried deleting the data of the Gallery app using Titanium Backup, but it didn't change anything.
Any ideas?

Am I really the only one with this problem?
Try different gapps. This issue was talked about a few months ago. I don't remember if it was just gapps or gapps in combination with a specific ROM but it is fixed in other gapp variants.
I still use 0726 with Affinity and I am not having the population problem but the settings issue I still have. Maybe give formula84 a try.

Hi,
thank you for your answer! I tried gapps-jb-20121012-JZO54K-Formula84.zip and 0726, with no change. Is the gallery app really included in the gapps? I can't find any .apk with "gallery" in its name...
Can you maybe link to a thread where this problem was discussed?
Thanks,

I had the exact same issue, just clear cache for Galley app from application manager and it should get fixed

Launcher Default Issues 4.4.2 Beanstalk 4.4.205

I recently flashed this onto my device I have cleared every default I can find through the manage APPs settings. I have used root explorer to move and even delete the GoogleHome.APK but no matter what I do it always takes over as the default launcher. I wish to use Nova and even when I have it check the default launcher the Google Home launcher takes over. I know this is a miner bug but it is very annoying.
This a link to the ROM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501109

[REQUEST] AOSP apps package Android L

I've been using the Android L port and I'm loving it. The only problem is that I hate all the official google apps. Plus the ROM only comes with Google photos. I really want to put something together once the ROM is more stable (although it really is good right now) that includes aosp style apps.
Does anyone know where I can get the apps? Can I just pull them from a custom ROM? Or can someone put together a zip that has a few aosp apps? I'm mainly thinking browser, gallery and a file manager, but suggestions are welcome.
EDIT: I was able to pull the apks out of another ROM, I chose the latest (7-20 at time of writing this) CM11 and put the files where they should be /system/app and I changed the permissions to match other files in the same location. Then I rebooted to recovery and wiped both caches. File manager (CM File Manager) and gallery worked fine, I can't figure out browser though. I found an app on the play store that was an AOSP Browser installer and tried that too, but browser keeps crashing on launch. So if anybody knows how to make AOSP browser install please enlighten me.
Thank you.

Question Is there a fix for gestures when using a custom launcher?

So I tried using Nova Launcher and then disabling gestures but they don't work at all anymore. Every time I reboot my phone again, the home/back buttons come back again. Any fixes for that?
I use nova launcher and the gestures work perfectly, so only the gestures in the nova launcher. If you want to use native gestures, you must use the poco launcher.
In order to provide gestures properly the app needs to have privileged permissions. This means it needs to be a system app. A custom ROM (on a different phone) had an app called quick switch which changed the chosen launcher to a system app and then rebooting.
In short: try to use root and an app to make nova launcher a system app

I will try that and report back. I don't think it will fix the problem with rebooting+ home buttons appear again but at least making it usable without a third party app (using Fluid Navigation Gestures)
I found a way. For anybody wondering, here are two links with a tutorial on how to do it:
