Launcher Pro Issue

Running Blackhole 4.4 w/Black Alien 2.2 theme, got everything set the way I liked it with Launcher Pro Plus, then on battery pull with a SetCPU related lockup all my LP widgets are gone, as well as all launcher pro icons, and now it says I don't have an unlock key installed. Gone through and checked, uninstalled and re-downloaded unlocker, tried everything short of another flash. Anyone know what's causing this? Second time I've had it happen today, I'm rather tired of re-flashing and reorganizing everything at this point.
I had the same issue and asked LP. They replied with the following:
"You can solve this issue by using a root explorer and erasing /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher"
I did this and it worked. You will need to rekey the unlock code. This can be obtained by saying you forgot the code on the phone and they will send it to your email.

Launcher pro does have a few issues I use it and every other time when I reboot my phone I either have to task kill it or it force closes. Its the only launcher that does it but its the most complete launcher in my opinion. Although I wish someone would make a gingerbread standard launcher that's able to use custom homescreen iconS.

Help with minor lag please?

Im running trigger 3.2 and its great except for one minor issue. When I enter or exit the text app I get lag. The screen stutters going in or out the app. I've tried different kernels. Adjusting the speeds in spare parts. I know its minor but its driving me nuts. Thanks in advance.
Trigger 3.2
Not sure what you mean by the screen stutters when opening Messanger, but if you have a lot of old text messages stored, I could see why it may have a bit of lag opening.
Question, if you open it... it lags and then you press home and then go back to messenger, does it open much faster (it should).
Perhaps you should so what i do and use SMS Backup+ so your text messages are backed up to your gmail in a SMS label.
This way you can delete old threads and it should load faster.
Birgertime also recommends to go into CWR and disable voodoo, reboot... then go back to CWR and enable it if you are noticing lag.
One of those 2 should take care of it.
EDIT, I am on the stock kernel with voodoo and it FLIES for me mutlitasking/opening apps.... not sure another kernel is needed, could just introduce more problems. Trigger 3.3 beta is in rom manager if you are a premium user of that app. You may want to hold off on that though since he is probably working on updates, thanks to the work of whitehawk (lock screens added).
I dont have a ton of old messages, but i do have a few. I really notice the lag when I respond to a text and hit the home button. I may try the sms backup and see if that works. Or I may go back to the stock kernel.
Are you using the stock messaging app? I was thinking of trying Go SMS. Also are you still using ADW launcher? Still liking it?

I have several hundred and have no lag going back home.. I thought you meant on loading messenger. That makes this even more odd to me. Do you have a ton of home screens/widgets? I wonder if ADW is closing due to memory so it's reloading... that may be the screen flicker you mentioned. Are your icons at the bottom of the home screen not there when you press home, and then they appear? That would mean I was correct in adw closing due to memory.
I do use the stock messenger app and I use ADW EX (though I only use 2 screens, 2 widgets and no icons (I just use the hidden dock bar for the apps I would normally have on my home screen now) I LOVE how clean ADW EX allows my desktop. ADW EX is the best launcher in my opinion. And I know there are many good alternatives, this is just the best one for me, mileage may vary.
I have heard good things about Go SMS and Handcent... the stock one does everything I need and looks good too. Don't fix what's not broken, right? Of course... perhaps yours is

Go Launcher

Anyone using Go Launcher? If so do I install like I would on a phone or is there more to it?
I'm running the latest CM7 nightly from emmc.
Tried it on the nook - doesn't format correctly cutting off the bottom of the menus. Had to get rid of it on my Dinc due to FC on 7.0.3. Switched to Zeam. It does look better than Zeam by alot and has more mods than most themes. They also update often.
I switched to Go Launcher EX a few weeks ago. LauncherPro was causing my NC to be really laggy and buggy. So far, I've been extremely happy with Go - it is responsive, flexible and has lots of great themes available.

Age of Zombies causing nasty FCs

I downloaded Age of Zombies from the Amazon App Store freebie list, and aside from refusing to run, it locks up my NC. I get a black screen and when I try to close it, it resets ADW Launcher and screws up my background. If I just let it run with the black screen, after about 30 seconds my NC reboots. BTW - I'm running Phiremod 6.3.
Anyone else get it to work, and if so... how?
I ran it with almost no issue on my Nook, CM7 Nightlies w/ OC kernel on SD.
The only issue I had was that it slightly over-scaled to full screen, cropping off some of the dialogue & menus; other than that, it ran fine.
I ended up uninstalling it though, not because of any technical issue, but because it got kind of boring after a bit.
Edit: I just thought to include that I'm also running Zeam as my launcher, seeing as AoZ conflicts with your ADW.
Are you running Chainfire 3D? I tried it with the driver on and off, and still no luck.

I haven't installed chainfire yet, so it's the default drivers.
I'm using CM7 nightlies, no-OC, Chainfire w/ nVidia plugin (not sure this is needed, it's just what I have enabled) and normal ADW launcher and it seems to be working fine. The initial startup seemed to have some issues, but after that it worked. The screen size does need some tweaking tho, probably need to re-enable the full screen in CM settings.
Good luck
Maybe a phiremod issue? But if memory serves (it should, I'm 11) phiremod is based of of CM7. Try a CM7 sd card to eliminate that variable.
I have been running this with no issues besides a little bit of cropping.
- CM7 Nightly 102
- Chainfire3d
- ADW Launcher
Try turning off compatibility mode. Or re-flash.
IT's basically Robotron updated. Fun.
I also have phiremod 6.3 and when i run it, my screen just stays black. When i exit my wallpaper is also just black but no FC's or reboots. After about a minute my live wallpaper was back
I initially had FC issues running cm126, oc kernel and adw. Fixed permissions and rebooted. Seems to be running fine now. Try fixing permissions in rom manager or recovery.

Lag Issues? Remove EVERY stock widget.

So, I have narrowed down my own lag issues to being caused by the samsung widgets. I been really annoyed with this phone and the redraws/home screen lag. Now, I have wiped, and _never_ added a samsung widget to the TW launcher, and my device is running very smoothly, with 3 home pages populated.
I came to this conclusion when I tried ADW. ADW was running well, slightly sluttery, until I added the samsung power widget. ADW was completely crippled, which makes me beleive drawing that widget takes a lot of processing. I then tried the myagenda widget with the same results. So, now, as a rule for myself, I am not running any widget that came stock on the phone.
i dont have the lag ither but i use a diff homescreen widget.
I have used launcher pro for my phones before but stayed with touch wiz on this one. I removed the stock clock and weather Alps and installed beautiful wigets and the screens are a bit snappier.

not sure i'm comfortable removing all these yet since Clockworkmod is still beta and having issues (means no nandroid backup).
I also run ADW - You should definitely run the V6 Supercharger script version 9.3.6 on setting 9 ( ends with 250,300) and i saw a big difference... also using setCPU performance setting gives me great results. still about a 10% lag i notice.... i've been bugging the devs of golauncher to optimize galaxy note and they been working with me so don't worry.... we will have our cake and eat it too, very soon!

I should have been more specific. You don't need to remove them from the phone, just remove them from your home screen.
