yeah launcher pro is working gr8
It's the first app I install when update to 2.1. Never though of the other launcher again. Especially like the friends widget showing you feeds from facebook and twitter and the ability to reply or comment from your homescreen unlike the crappy timescape which is slow to update and use browsers to do any action.

Holy mother of battery power Changed my phone setup to use Launcher Pro instead of ADW launcher. Having all other settings such as number of home screen, widget placement and refresh time on widgets the same. I have gone from recharging every 3-4 hours to the phone lasting a whopping full day Seems like ADW was clashing big time with something on the phone.
I like the speed and response time. It is much faster than ADW, and there is the promise of more speed once the complete rewrite of Launcher Pro comes Very happy LP Plus user here
I am using this launcher (very good app) but i have a problem. At Android system info in section Tasks I have task "android.process.acore(package: com.fede.launcher)" which is running with 100% CPU.
Do you have something similar?
(my english is not good)
Got the paid version today like the htc sense hope to see clock and weather widgets aswell but awesome launcher turns the x10 mini into a beast.

[Q] [FIXED] DirectDial Shortcut Not Working for Go/Apex Launcher?

Keep getting a 'Unable to access application, please restart Go launcher', when I tap on a Direct Dial Shortcut on my home screen. This happens for both Go and Apex launchers. TW works ok.
Weird thing was, it used to work when I got the phone. Anyone with similar problems?
I've been using Apex free for two days but not had an issue yet.

I have been using NOVA launcher and have the same issue. When I hit the direct dial widget I get a small message saying "app is not installed". If I clear defaults for the phone app then i get a choice between phone and skype, then hitting phone from there works. But that is definitely not a solution.

Yup, installed Viber and the choice menu pops up. If I select a default, I get back the same error message.

I have the same problem with the direct dial widget for all of the 3rd party launchers. I wonder if it's a permission thing on the Samsung that was not implemented correctly.
I had no such issues with 3rd party launchers on my HTC One-X.
Hit on the bulls eye! I have googled same problem and came directly into this subject. I also have a Galaxy S III and use Apex Launcher instead of memory eating monster Samsung TW; I also install Touch Pal contacts and dialer since Samsung has not been able come with a decent T9 dialer for ages. Anyhow, the problem is direct call shortcuts do not work on my device neither. As for detailed information, I use Omega v4.0. Also note that, I have recently used Apex Launcher on my Galaxy S II with I9100XWLPG (4.0.3) and did not have this problem.
I hope someone comes with a solution, it's annoying.
Regards.
In Nova Launcher it is already fixed. I switched until Apex is fixed too.
Any solution to this? GoLauncher still creating problems.
Fixed!
Its Fixed In Go Launcher! Sent them an email on Tuesday, fixed today. Pretty efficient.
most definitely not fixed!
Direct Dial still not working in Apex launcher. Issue reported to them well over a week ago and have received the odd useless email response from them. Not at all impressed with their "customer service"

I got my SIII about a month ago, and direct dial never worked on Launcher Pro. Did you have to reinstall or something?
Hi, I've a GS III i9300 with Go Launcher and my direct dial refused to work.
Finally, I've managed to make it work :victory:
My exact problem was : I managed to have a direct dial icon on the desktop, and it turned "green" when I clicked on it (everything's normal so far), so it should have worked, but nothing happened, the screen stayed on the desktop like this.
I'm pretty sure the problem can be different for each configuration.
Here are few steps you could follow to have a better idea of your problem.
1/ Be sure that the problem comes from the launcher you have.
To know that, it's very easy, just install a home switcher, like Home Switcher from the market (Link here).
2/ Then go to your apps, click on Home Switcher then launch the default TouchWiz launcher (if you still have it, or another launcher you may have installed)
3/ Now your are in another launcher, so try to add a direct dial icon on the desktop (The usual way is to make a long press somewhere, then you choose apps & widget, then you search a bit between the widgets you get, then long press on direct dial (or speed dial), you place it somewhere, then you select a contact from your list)
4/ Try this direct dial icon. When I tried, it worked directly, so I knew the problem was somewhere around my Go Launcher.
If it's still not working for you, the problem isn't -probably- coming from your launcher !
(Now, you probably have to search somewhere else, like on your rom/kernel...)
5/ If it's working for you, I think it's good news.
Now you can probably go back to your launcher (Go Launcher in my case) and try some things.
Like configuration/parameters --> more --> applications manager --> download --> search for "Go Launcher EX" (or your launcher)
Here you can try to "Clear Defaults", "Clear Cache" & "Clear Data". (Caution : Clearing the data should revert the application back to it's state as it was when you first installed it)
Then reboot your phone and check if it's working.
6/ If it's not. The problem can be another app you've installed that's messing up your Go Launcher.
In my case, I've installed a great app, X Privacy (The Xda topic about it here) that allowed me to feed any app installed with empty/anonymous data.
In this app, you can set & restrain exactly which part of the phone you've turned anonymous (accounts, call, contacts...) for which app.
I had restrain everything for Go Launcher, that's why direct dial wasn't working anymore. I just had to uncheck the part "call (phone, sms, mms)" concerning Go Launcher in X Privacy and now it's working like a charm.
7/ If you don't have X Privacy installed, the problem maybe comes from another app.
I suggest that you uninstall one by one the apps you suspect to mess up your phone, and keep trying.
If you've a custom rom, you may seek help on the dedicated topic.
Good luck !
Found the solution..!
Whoever's havin' the direct-dial widget problem- I had the same problem & after a lot of head-scratchin' & tinkerin', it occured to me-
Go to Settings>Developer Options & see if the option "Do Not Keep Activities" is checked. If it is, uncheck it.
You're good to go..!
Direct Dial App Not Installed Error - Fixed
This is an old thread but decided to answer it here for others searching. I found it on a thread overseas.
Go to Settings/Apps/ scroll to and select your launcher Apk. Select the "Permissions" section and see whats not allowed and it will answer your questions. Enable Contacts, Phone at least. I enabled all of mine.

This worked for me in AIO Launcher. Needed to give phone permission. Many thanks.
With Nova Launcher, this started happening for me after a recent android system update.
None of the above solutions worked.
All my direct dial icons were previously created by going into the contacts app, selecting the contact, and adding to the home screen.
I was able to get it working, by long pressing the nova background - widgets - contacts - direct dial.
So, just adding it this way, somehow fixes it.

[Q] Any way to add a Google Now icon to the lock screen?

Coming from stock jelly bean on my Nexus I miss being able to go straight to Google Now with a swipe... if there was a way to add an additional icon to the lock screen for this purpose that would be awesome. Any ideas?
Put the Google Now (Google) shortcut in your dock. Not entirely the same, but works with a swipe
Thanks! This is my first sense phone, didn't realize whatever you put in there also showed up on the lock screen. Duh :silly:
Honestly, I think I will be adding a shortcut myself. I kind of miss my Gnex swipe up.
This is what I do that has worked well for me. I use Nova Launcher to bring me back to more of a nexus look. Because I do this, I set my camera and google icons on the dock of my sense launcher and those two icons show up on my lockscreen, and this way I also don't waste dock space on Nova launcher. Works like a charm.
Here are my home and lock screen to show what I am talking about
Holding the home button for a second opens Google Now... its not the same as swiping from lock screen but it works

I agree, although I added two activities to the list. With Nova you can drop activities to directly access features of apps without opening them fully.
I use one activity from Handcent called quick compose. It opens a tiny window with a "to" field and a "message" field. Very handy. Also I use the toggle feature of TeslaLED to give me quick access to a flashlight.
Then using Nova I can have 6 completely different apps on my dock plus app drawer.
And today was payday so that rocks.

There is also Holo Lock for anyone who wants the stock JB lock screen, although it does not work perfectly...
I use apex launcher, much the same as nova. I have a Google search in my sense dock, so it shows up on my lockscreen.
It doesn't show up on my dock in apex. I set a gesture in apex, however, that store up items Google search. Makes it almost the same ad my galaxy nexus

[Q] Blank screen after unlock screen

I have a Lenovo P780 dual sim since 1 month, bought on Amazon Germany, but shipped from China.
Have rooted it and added many other apps and deleted them when I didn't like them. I use the Apex Launcher. It has been perfect up until today. I wanted to move new app icons into the dock area underneath the normal home screens. I bought the Pro version of Apex Launcher because I thought the added functionality would allow me to do this. Whether or not this upgrade is the source of my present problems, I do not know.
The problem I now have is that once I unlock the screen, the normal home screen is now blank. If someone calls me the phone app lights up and I can pick-up and talk normally, later check my contacts, see the call and text logs. After the call, pushing the "Home" button briefly no longer works to bring back the home screen. Pushing the "Home" button for a couple of seconds brings up the running apps and lets me close it, then when returning to the "home" screen its blank.
Swiping down from the top allows me to seeing the settings buttons such as WiFi etc as it was before. I can click on the "Settings" icon to open the settings, but if I try to change the "theme" the app responds every time that it has stopped working.... Swiping back up returns the blank screen.
HELP please !!!

Hi. It seems to me that your Apex Launcher have one big proble. Try to install free version and see if this have this problem. Iff not this is a problem... Iff the free Apex have the same problem you need to change your launcher. Search another one on the market.

Sorry Stumpy, but I cannot use your advice. Since I cannot see my home screens, I cannot launch any apps. When I power on my phone I have no access to any apps. However if an email arrives, the GMail email app starts and I can then read and send emails. If I receive a telephone call, the native phone/contact/messages app starts and then I can also use these apps. But I cannot start or see any of the other installed apps, unless it has been prompted to start from outside my phone.
I have backed up all data and applications to my SD card using Titanium Backup before this problem started. I have reset the phone using the internal red button, used the settings menu to restore the data and apps, but nothing helps. I can change the Wallpaper using the Settings icon I can see when I swipe down from the top of the phone but when I try to change the Theme, the Settings app responds with "Unfortunately System UI has stopped". (This always happened since the phone was new - so I then downloaded Apex Launcher to go around this problem)

Hi Stumpy
I managed to get my phone back!
I used my desktop computer to send myself an email with a link to another launcher (Go Launcher). When the email arrived on my phone I could then click on the link which gave me the chance to open the link using Google Play and then install the new launcher. Once the new launcher was installed, I could see everything again, except that I then needed to put all the apps back in the right places. Wow am I happy !!
Thanks for your time and trying to help me!!

I am glad that you manage to resolve the problem. Be carefull next time when you spend money on apps. Try free versions first time and install custom recovery for your phone. They are the best thing for backup.

It is happening because maybe Go SMS pro is available in Lock screen(quick start app like phone) and you are start sliding from Go SMS app(left of right corner). To unlock screen (will not open any app) slide bottom to top.
All go apps have been banned from XDA. Please use their support channels.
