Hi,
for all nightlies, which I flashed so far, and after rebooting, my home screen is screwed up.
By that I mean, that
(i) any random number of folders into which I had previously grouped apps from the drawer have disappeared
(ii) from those folders which have remained on the home screen, any random number of apps have been discarded
(iii) my personal background image always returns to the default background image
Why is this happening and how can I prevent this?
(Actually I realized that (iii) even happens if I only reboot the phone without flashing a nightly.)

What launcher are you using? Trebuchet, or something else? Provide as much details about you setup as you can.
- the device is a Samsung SIII GT-I9300, currently it runs the 14.1-20170301 nightly for the i9300, the device is rooted
- I have not installed any launcher other than the one which came with the ROM
- Under settings->apps->configure apps it says launcher-app "Trebuchet"
- I have not done anything special to the home & lock screen, other than
a) grouping several apps which I tend to use more often into several named folders on the home screen
b) using a single private picture as wallpaper for the home & lock screen
Up to now I've updated, using nightlies twice. Each time I did this, and after rebooting, the work done on a) was partially destroyed and the wallpaper under b) was not used, although the corresponding picture showed up 1st among the wallpapers to select.

I'll be more than happy to do so, if you let me know which additional details would be of help.
Get Ti Backup, after update restore launcher data.

I updated my Desire HD to 2.3 and i have a problem my home screen ui is moving very very slowly with a normal wallpaper when i put a live wallpaper its even worse.
When i had 2.2 i never had this problems anyone have any answers.
UI moves the same way with or without USB debugging.
is it just the home screen?
is the 'All Apps' menu acting the same?
and how about the UI of other apps?
Only the home screen is moving slow the menu and apps are moving perfectly
given that you dont have some 3rd party widget that MAY be slowing down the homescreen
Try going into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>
Then go to HTC Sense (the one with the icon of a home screen) and click Clear Data (NOTE: this will remove all the widgets from the home screen)
Personally, im not 100% sure if this will work, but it has helped me in some problems with my home screen.
tell me the result.
nop its still the same slow moving home screen
in that case, you have two options---
1) You could do a factory reset (since you just updated, i dont think it'll be a big problem) but remember to backup your data, apps, etc... (IM not 100% sure that it'll work either, but if it doesnt then i think you have a problem with your ROM)
2) You could wait for someone to come and answer.
i did the factory reset a few days after the update to see if it would help but no such luck
Then i THINK the problem could be with your ROM.
Try installing it again. If you're looking for an official source - CLICK HERE. (thanks go to andy)
Thats an official ROM, if you have CWM recovery, then i would suggest a stock-rooted ROM CLICK HERE
reinstaling the update worked perfectly now my phone home screen is moving perfect it dosent feel like a nokia 3310
Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM
Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol
Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!
Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.
Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

When doing this method when you get to the app hold it don't tap it.
I apologize if this discussion exists somewhere else. I looked but could not find this issue.
I am trying to utilize the Go Multiple Wallpaper app. I want to have a different background on each home-screen page. I am able to do this but I have the "Screens scroll circularly" option enabled on GoLauncher so that I can swipe from the last to the first home screen and from the first to the last page with one swipe.
When I swipe from first to second, second to third and so on the background changes perfectly. However, when I go from first to last the background does not change. If I go from last to first to second then back to first, the first page will have the proper wallpaper.
Before using this app I used the "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" app, which worked great at first. Then all of the sudden it started to exhibit the above issue. So I switched to the GoLauncher solution.
I just did a complete system restore and switched roms to NOTEorious Prime. I didn't do any restore of apps or info and the problem is not resolved?
I don't know why both apps are showing the same problem. And i don't understnd why if MultiPicture Live Wallpaper was working perfectly before why it is not working after a factory reset?
I am currently running NOTEorious Prime 1.5 on a SGH-i137. Hopefully that's all the info you'll need. Let me know if I left something out.
If you know anything about this topic and could offer any intel I would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks!
Add up to 6 shortcuts to second screen. This means one more. I tried to do 7, but I simply don't have enough screen space with proper padding to squeeze in 7.
I can only confirm this working on the pure stock rom. Try on others, but do a backup first.
Another finding is you have to use the stock launcher to add it. The reason this is, is because you have to drag and drop it into second screen from the homescreen or app drawer. Once you have it set you can go back to using your launcher of preference.
Installation:
Flash attached zip through recovery or unzip it and move to system\priv-app\ConeShortcut and set perms rw-r-r. I am also including the original app in .bak format in case some forget to backup their original.
Again as of now I can only confirm working on the stock rom and using the stock launcher to set. Second screen is tied into so many aspects of the system so it is a very tricky thing to work on.
As you can see from the screenshots if you try to add it from the settings menu you will only have 5 options. If you look at the preview screen you can see my 6 apps and that I'm able to shuffle them around.
Thanks, I applied this mod to the rom I'm using the No-NaMe ROM!! And it's working flawlessly. Keep them coming.
Just wondering if you can get this mod to work on the other second screens such as recent or contacts.
Works great. Hope this is a gateway to other mods for the second screen.

Everything.. App shortcuts, signature, second screen apk, build prop, system ui, framework res, and the stock launcher. It's pretty much incorporated into every major aspect of the system somewhere.
I was thinking that too becauae after I updated to xposed 79 I started having some issues too..

I wonder if the settings menu can be modified to fit the extra shortcut as well. Also I wonder what other things could be done with the second screen. Seems to me like the default features are somewhat limited. What I would like to see is functioning widgets on the second screen.
Using apex launcher, if you tap and hold the background, you get a menu that pops up to add things to the home screen , if you select "shortcut" and then "activities" you get a list of all sorts of menus, many of the menu items aren't functional, seems there are a lot of settings and features that are included in the base Android version being used, and the features were removed, however the hidden menus for these features still exist through these "activities" shortcuts, many developer options can be accessed. For example there's a hidden menu to change notification LED settings, to change LED color etc, even though the v10 has no notification LED. There's a whole drop-down section for second screen, including a "background chooser". The background chooser opens up and lets you crop an image to the exact dimensions of the second screen, however when you apply the settings, nothing happens. It seems LG was in the process of developing further features but stopped... Maybe we can take the next step

Most likely some things will be implemented on the next v series phone. The code has been written just not intiated..
Why should we wait and hope it gets done on the next phone, and then spend all our money on it... Why not just initiate the code ourselves? If I had more coding knowledge, and a more structured chain of thought... Lol I have the processing power to figure this stuff out, just not enough ram..
Does anyone have the orig. apk or zip file. The Fav. App Tab disappeard and i need the original file t fix the issue.
Hey everyone,
I'm running into a weird problem lately. I have a custom homescreen with Nova Launcher Pro and whenever I click the Recent Apps button. I close all recent apps and it force closes Nova Launcher and reactivates Samsung One UI. It does this every single time until I hit the Home button and it goes back to Nova Launcher. Anyone know what could be causing this weird issue. I only had this issue recently so part of me thinks it's from a firmware update. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Try clearing the system cache on boot menu.
Try clearing associated apk caches, data if need be.
If you migrated from Pie to Q time probable time to reload...

Yeah I've wiped cache partition from boot menu (holding power and volume up button during restart). I've also wiped cache and data from both Samsung One UI and Nova Launcher and still nothing.

You can try a hard reboot but that seldom works.
Look at clearing cache/data of the related system apks.
I tried a few launchers and ran into issues with all. Be very wary if you see any system instabilities as boot crash may be next.
One launcher (not Nova) boot looped my 10+ twice.
The Samsung launcher is fast, rock solid stable and allows for a lot of customization.
After fighting with 3rd party launchers that were slower, used more resources/battery, not as stable, loss of some functionality etc... it wasn't worth it.
You could uninstall and reinstall the Nova app and see if that works, I will probably get told that if you wipe the cache it the same thing. But I've done it before with other apps and it has fixed issues. I use Nova beta on my note 10 and I've never had any issue with it, so you could also try that. Good luck [emoji106]

Double check to make sure Nova is set as your default Launcher.
Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Home
I've had this happen a couple times with Microsoft Launcher after an update was pushed.
You may have to set it to OneUI then back to Nova.

Use the native launcher.
Fast, very stable and very customizable if you use the available free themes, icon packs and the Good Lock family of apps. Throw in a custom background with Color Wallpaper and done.
Solution which helped me
Hi, I had same problem and for me helped to choose as default app for Home One Ui and then back Nova Launcher.

Not sure if you resolved this or not but I just ran into this issue on my Note 20 Ultra. Fix was the same as above where I set the Samsung UI back to default, then switched it back to Nova Launcher and then did a hard restart with volume down and power button. Note: did not work until I did the hard restart

Yah!
It may return though. Hard resets shouldn't be needed. There may be a firmware and/or hardware incompatibility present.
Watch it closely for instability as this is a class of app that can boot loop the device.
Never had Nova do it but another launcher did, twice. Not fun.
Have you set app power management for nova?
boot cache menu clear, also most are gone now but i like cda not on app store, and leave shut down for a few minutes, Mine on Nova would not show apps if i pulled tab on apps still open in background, then just quit, did above and havent had issues. Tis the season
Experiencing this issue with Nova Beta on my Z Fold 2 as well surprisingly its working great on my og Fold.
I had the same issue on a Galaxy M31, issue has been resolved by clearing the data of the One UI Home App under Settings - Apps - Show system apps - One UI Home - Storage - clear data
I do have same issue with Poco F2 pro (K30), although POCO Launcher is still installed (even not deactivated), if I'll choose as default Nova, the recent app button (square) not reacting at all. Multiple press lead to error message "POCO Launcher crashed".
I used the recent apps to clean them from mem (hope I say that right).
did anyone found a way how to fix the not working recent app button on custom launcher (in my case Android 11)?
the suggestions above (including M$ Launcher did not worked for me)
also is there any other way how to delete/kill apps from mem - other than use recent apps (square) button?
thanks for suggestions.

Are there any goodlock modules that can make my icons round? I hate these default icons. The main reason why I would want to use a custom launcher...but don't, because like you already stated, one ui launcher is just fast and very stable.
