When ever I reboot my phone, the Switch Pro widget says "Problem loading widget" and when I try to put that widget back, I cannot find the widget. It is still in my app drawer, but not visible in the list of widgets.
The only way to get this back is to uninstall and reinstall the app. Any suggestions?
Never happens to me. Try reinstalling and rebooting.

You're running FROYO? Try installing Widgets on internal memory.

Are you using a task killer or startup manager, if so this could be the cause....

neither, i figure with the 1ghz processor there is no need =]
If you let the phone sit for a bit, do the widgets come back.... or do they continue to be the black boxes? Have you tried to remove them and then put them back?
Haven't tried to let them sit, but they come back when i delete them and re enter them onto the screen
Widgets typically can take longer to start up...try giving them 10 minutes or so

Which launcher is it that is having the issue, is it the default TouchWiz Launcher, or one of the launchers from the Market?
The Launcher Pro on Axura turned out to be a free "TRIAL" launcher, now that it expired it will not allow me to go to the home screen to select another launcher. Holding the home button brings up the samsung task manager.
How do I bypass that and select a new launcher? Remember I CANNOT acess the home screen at all! tapping the home key takes me to a none existent launcherpro website
Settings - applications - manage applications. Select launcher pro and press ' clear defaults.'
Or just go in the market and update to the latest version.

Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage applications. Find LauncherPro and select it. Select Clear defaults.
Go to settings ,launcher ,clear defaults then you should be able to choose another launcher but I could be wrong I've not used axura for a while now
You guys best me to it lol
Ok you aren't getting what I am saying, I cannot access the homescreen, so no I will not be able to get to the settings. The only screens I can access are whatever is in my upper drawer (eg someone sends a text or email, I can pull down and go to that screen) or whatever is in the Samsung task manager after long pressing the homekey. If not I am stuck on the browser on a nonexistent website.
Go to the market and download Home Switcher App.should fix your issue! If you cant go to the marke.then try using Google to find it! I would post it for you.but I'm only on my vibrant.no wifi for my laptop.

Hey can you uninstall it using the Samsung task manager.click on packages and try uninstalling launcher pro. As long as you already have a different launcher installed. that should work. Try it!

Thanks, but I tried that but it seems once the launcherpro was somehow disabled by the app owners, it does not show up under packages. I cannot see it to disable or even uninstall (which is what I wanna do now!)
At this point it is starting to look like LauncherPro has bricked my device

Can u go to this web page on your phone?

Ok I fixed it
I went to this site (thanks darkside79) http://www.appbrain.com/app/home-switcher-for-froyo/ymst.android.homeswitcherfroyo on my phone. Clicked a link to download directly from the marketplace. That allowed me to go to the market where I uninstalled the LauncherPro. Hitting the homekey brought me to the launcher selection menu, picked Zeam and now I have access to the phone again!
Glad I could help!

Thanks for posting this…I had the same problem. Went to the link you providedand sent the app to my gmail and installed it from the notification bar. I was able to clear the data stored in LauncherPro but was not able to uninstall from the “manage applications” area. (Will try to uninstall thru TitaniumBackup soon…) Then, changed the default launcher from LauncherPro to Zeam and was able to use everything again. Thanks again for the post
Maybe OT, but i wonder why the dev used a trial version of LauncherPro in the final ROM? Maybe he didn't know?

Thanks! I followed your exacts instructions and was able to switch as well finally! Btw, for the people who don't have Froyo yet, use the regular homeswitcher http://www.appbrain.com/app/home-switcher/ymst.android.homeswitcher#
Also thanks to darkside79!
I am using ADW Launcher and the GMail widget causes the the homescreens to always switch to the one where the widget is when the tablet is rotated. Anyone else noticed this?
This also happened to me after i added the Email widget! Even worse, LaunherPro FC's and I'll have to repick my default launcher (wich is LP) every time i reboot and the launcher is loaded.
I've done nothing else but rooted my tab.

I had the same problem. It annoyed me so much that I went back to stock launcher.

I only had these problems straight after doing the gmail widget fix since i lost gmail widget after rooting so i tried this;
Solution: uninstall both your launcher switcher and launcher, then install latest home switcher (the gingerbread ready), and reinstall launcher.
Now, change transition effect, if you have that option, to 'none' and turn off high quality scrolling etc...
I'm now running a pretty heavy homescreen including gmail widget, emailwidget, several widgetsoids, twitter widget, facebookwidget, g+ widget and some other stuff on latest bonsaiROM, and everything runs smooth. Note: I was already on latest bonsaiROM when the problems occured

I just flashed CM7DX2 and while everything else works fantastically, I can't seem to be able to access Market-downloaded widgets. Stock widgets or Go Launcher's widgets load well, but none of the other widgets I downloaded show up in the launcher's Widgets screen. Help?
I haven't had that issue at all. Sorry. Maybe you should wipe and flash the rom again?
I fixed it. Apparently CM7 doesn't recognize widgets on apps saved to the SD card.

Here is another launcher for ICS. It is like stock launcher but have options like adw and launcher pro ie transparent app drawer, gestures, lock desktop etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452663
I'm definitely gonna try this out. Not sure how much experience yyouve had with this but installing as system app shouldnt remove the default launcher your rom comes with? ie most ICS roms come with trebuchet launcher?
No, it installs as normal app and you don't need to move it to /system folder for widgets to show up in app drawer.
good find on this launcher, it feels alot like launcher pro but totally revamped for ics
just needs resizable widgets

I cant believe i missed that, thanks for the heads up, this is quite an awesome launcher i dont think i can go back to anything that doesnt use ics as a base any more
what do you prefer,this or NOVA?
personally on my galaxy nexus i prefer nova..but only because it's more mature.apex is a month newer,but with already a lot of features..nova,at this time,have more features,but i find apex more speedy and i hadn't got any issues or unstability also on gpu-renderized
works great in ICS passion v 12
Guys and girls, just a heads up - updating Apex Launcher is apparently resulting in Force Close dialog ad nauseam - DO NOT update Apex for now or else you'll be stuck. Thankfully I had Avast installed and using the Avast Application Manager I managed to access Apex's App Info page and uninstalled updates, now back to normal but won't update it for now. Recent Apex reviews on Play Store show that this is not ROM-related or an isolated event. You've been warned. (If you read this that is)...

Last night my phone auto updated the apex launcher and exactly what you said happened. I went into clockwork recovery and tried to restore and it gave an error and now the phone seems bricked. It won't boot up beyond the vibrant screen, and it won't let me get into recovery. What should I do?
