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?

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.

ok, i have tried searching enldess scroll, bounce back home screen, continuous,etc.. and i cant find an app that will let the home screen loop around back to screen 1 as in 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5, instead of having to swipe back 4 home pages to get to page 1.
i believe its called endless scroll, and adw has it, but i dont want a whole new launcher, i wanna keep the gingerblur launcher.
any help is greatly appreciated.

I believe you may have to install a whole new launcher. LauncherPro should have it as well. Luckily you could get a theme for one of these launchers to look like GingerBread PLUS you'll have a ton of new features (e.g. endless scroll)
doesnt it use up more memory or is the main launcher disabled?
LauncherPro has the looping effect
ya just uninstalled that, was supper slow , after unlock would take like 5 seconds to show the home screen with launchers

That's strange...do you get this lag when you use ADW?
suprisingly no, but i cant seem to find the virtual scroll in those settings

I'm actually not sure ADW has those settings, but it might in the paid version (I never used that one). My LauncherPro has never seemed to run slow or laggy or anything..Maybe you should install it and then reboot your phone just to try it out after everything is fresh and restarted or something? If you can get it to not be slow, then LP is definitely the way to go. It has the option you're looking for and you can definitely get a sweet theme to make it look just like the Gingerblur launcher.
i have ADW EX and i know for a fact it has it gets kinda annoying actually lol
coo thanks for the input ill try it tommorrow whilst im at work

You do need to use an alternate launcher to get the affect you're looking for. I've tried most and I can say without doubt that 'Go Launcher Ex' does this smoother than any others I've tried (and it's free). I personally use this feature and love it, I can't believe it's not built in to the Android OS (or should I say MotoBlur). Below is a link to 'Go Launcher Ex' in the Android Market.
com.gau.go.launcherex.apk
i like go launcher the best, it's free and allows widget resizing for free (unlike LP). it also has the infinite scroll.
Hey guys, ADW Ex (paid version) has the looping screens too as stated before and it works very well in my opinion. To get the scrolling smoother though, it be best if you set the background to unscrollable and that way the background doesn't have to readjust everytime you go from you're last screen to the first screen.
Go Launcher EX has the loop option, plus you can choose the ginger theme and it's free. Made by the people here at XDA
now that i figured that i need to freeze the main launcher, go launcher is the one for me

Freeze the main launcher? Hmm, I should try that.
Go Launcher actually seems to lag a bit more than ADW for me, especially with a live wallpaper.
after using go launcher, with main launcher frozen, i noticed battery life decrease. i mean id leave work fully charged, and by the time i got home (1hr later) i was at 84 percent. with regular gblur, i am usually at 95-96, sometimes 94 when i get home. sad to say im back to regular gblur with no endless screens
I'm using LauncherPro Plus and it's very smooth for me (it has the endless looping of homescreens). There is some slowdown if you use live wallpapers, but with static ones and with animation speeds set to the fastest (and in spare parts too) it's great. An other thing that slows LP down a lot is if you turn 'high quality scrolling' on. It doesn't make a very visible difference visually, but it lags like hell for me.
ya launcher pro was super laggy for me
okay i purchased nova launcher from the sale last week... and its been fighting with sense non stop, every time i leave an app/screen/etc it asks me which launcher i want sense or nova, even when i click for it to use this one all the time it still pops up after closing another app 10 minutes later.
ive tried uninstalling and re installing nova and still get this issue..
has anyone else had this sorta problem?
Set is a default when it ask again. There will be a prompt on the bottom to put a check mark on it. Then select Nova.

Did you try and clear the defaults for the stock browser under applications?

hrmm stock browser? or launcher you mean?
which of all the sense apps under applications would i clear?
*edit*
okay only one lets me clear and both let me force stop...
i assume one is for widgets and one is for launcher of the two.. the one i assume is the sense launcher one has a disable option... wondering if thats possibly safe to disable if im running nova..
After you set Nova as default go into Settings > Apps > All Apps and find HTC Sense and try to disable it.
If you're rooted and don't use the stock launcher at all, try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895544
I found it a couple weeks ago and haven't had any issues with it at all.

Nice ill have to look into it, I hit the 'disable' on htc sense in the apps list and rebooted and forced the other 'HTC sense' one to shut down.. now only one appears and the disable button is grey'd out.. but still randomly.. not all the time i get the prompt on which launcher i want.....
doing this just to keep busy until the radio stuff is figured out and a CM 10 fully working or something like that comes out..
so far ive tweaked up the lock screen with widget locker and tasker to let me start camera app with out actually unlocking my phone, it returns to a locked state when camera pp is exited. now im looking into trying some things like this http://mycolorscreen.com/2012/09/26/xui-v2/
I go to the app drawer and I cannot long press add widget to home screen, even though I can long press the home screen to change wallpaper
Any suggestions?
Do you get any messages? Did you try rebooting or wiping dalvik and cache or also try to fix permission? Stock launcher or third party launcher?

Yeah, all my connectivity is fine, and If I download new apps with their own widgets while waiting in the widget drawer, I can drag a single one out, which is quite annoying to be honest. I thought it was the launcher at first too but maybe it's just the build? flashed an earlier nightlies and it works fine.
I got this with Trebuchet too. I just switched to Apex (which is much better in my opinion anyway) and widgets can be placed normally.
Hmm

Hi all,
This is the only consistent issue I've had since day one (B1.532 - B2.257). Homescreen widgets disappear once in awhile without any warning, and frankly, I'm sick of it. They aren't disappearing completely, but they "hide" until I longpress the homescreen and they'll show up again. This typically happens when I use an app for a longer period of time.
My guess is that Android is killing the launcher and it redraws when I hit the homebutton. Not because it's trying to free up some RAM (got plenty of that), but it's trying to rid itself with an "old" process. Nova Launcher has the "Aggressive Desktop" mode where it'll it'll keep the launcher in RAM and not kill it like it does here, but I find it strange.
This is just speculation from my side though, so I'm not 100% positive that this is the case.
Question time! Are you experiencing the same problem, or is it an isolated case?

Hmmm.. Are you not using Greenify with an all too aggressive setting?
Never had this with my ultra :l
Note2 though had this a lot.

So far, none like that happening here. But I don't have too many widgets on my homescreen yet, so I dunno if I put some more, if it'll happen. Will get back to you!
I don't use Greenify, and I only use two widgets: DashClock and a calendar widget.

Just reinstalled Nova again to check if I got the same behavior, but nope. Nova works fine, so it's the Sony launcher.
Sent from my Z Ultra, using XDA Premium 4
Yeah, I can confirm that this does happen with the stock launcher, at least on my phone. And I really only have one page, and one widget. At most I had three pages and about four widgets. The speed that the processor brings the widget back though is incredibly impressive though, so it hasn't actually bothered me yet. I didn't know other launchers kept that from happening though, hmm... May have to get on action launcher or Nova.

I have clock and 6 shortcut icons, does not redraw
Same behaviour
Hi all,
I have exactly the same problem on mine, I use 4 widgets over 3 homescreens, power amp, tune in radio pro, android pro widgets (just the calendar agenda widget) and 1Weather.
The power amp, calendar and tune in widgets never disappear, but when I go back to the launcher after it has been hidden for a while I can sometimes see a delay in them redrawing, which doesn't really bother me, but the 1Weather widget hides permanently until I long press the screen where it is hidden or reboot which is Ultra annoying, no pun intended :laugh:
I'm on build .257 and have an update to the launcher installed, I've tried uninstalling the update, integrating the update into the rom, converting 1Weather to a system app and even tried locking the launcher and 1Weather into memory with an app called memory locker, all to no avail.
Has anyone had anymore thoughts on this, any ideas, anything else for us to try ?
The updated launcher fixed it for me.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
That's strange, I either didn't notice it or it didn't start doing it until about a week maybe 2 after I installed the updated launcher, it never happened on the stock . 527 launcher in my case.

Fixed right??... if not check the build.prop
To force launcher into memory and stop redraws past this into the build.prop and then reboot...

Thanks hamdogg, all else had failed, but this has done the trick, added this to my build.prop on the day you posted it and it hasn't disappeared since, never even see it redraw full stop, cheers mate. :good:
