I've been unexpectedly losing some of my apps on reboots.
Wtf...?

What ROM? Are you using the SD flip flop? Which Launcher? This sort of thing has seemed to happen to me before, because almost all of my apps are on the sd card. The launcher/app drawer app loads before the stuff on the sd card, and it looks like apps are gone, but still show under menu->applications. Restart your launcher, see if that helps

Running eclipse v.06, with ADW launcher. And unless the SD flip is built into the ROM, I haven't flashed that modification

It is. I have an app or two disappear every now and then, but it's just GO Launcher being finicky. It's still there, I just need to restart the launcher and it shows up.

Since we can't get the MIUI Rom because the bootloader is locked. How hard would it be to make a theme for it?

You could use adw and there is a miui theme on the market that looks very well done. Also many miui Widgets etc on market. My sexy nexy screen look the same as the pics on the market when I used miui.
From there just mess with settings to ur taste like hide dock bar etc. Then painstakingly arrange all apps on the screen, just like miui the first time ^_^, and backup settings and screen arrangements in adw settings

oooh thanks. So it deletes everything on my internal SD? So I just need to backup my photos and apps to my external SD?
I'd backup JIC but it didn't for me. Turn off fingerprint unlock till ur set up to avoid issues later ...heard it helps. I'm on greyblur and use adw paid version. It was definitely worth it, and I'm a cheap skate ^_^ coming from nexus and all it's great dev love, I wanted all the options it gives. Screen transitions etc.
Didn't touch my webtop that I customized either ^_°

I had to restart my phone and when it came back on, some of my application on any of the home screens were still there and worked when I engaged them, but the picture or the icon never refreshed. I don't have the fast boot checked, I like my phone to restart completely, if I remove the app then put back on home screen, the picture returns. What can I do?

There's another thread with the answer.
Short answer is: Sense has started up before the SD card is mounted. Hence, the icons for your apps on the SD were NOT available at the time. This is why some apps are phone only and you never put widgets on the SD.
You can do one of the following:
Move those particular apps back off the SD to the phone.
Restart sense with some app in the market.
Change your scene and change it back.
Work Around
Install Fast Reboot (Free from Market)
Run Fast Reboot
Icons will reappear.
I found the answer in another thread.

That's the market app. Couldn't remember and didn't want to go digging for the other thread.
Fast reboot comes with the phone in the power settings, icons came back when I force closed sense

NOT that fast reboot. hahaha. The fastreboot app in the market closes sense and such for you. it's not the Fast reboot built into the phone.
So today one of my apps disappeared from my home screen, and I noticed it had also disappeared from the app drawer. I also had some apps in a folder on my home screen, and deleted the folder, and now all those apps have disappeared. They are still installed on my phone, but the only way to open them seems to be to search for them in the market, and use the open button that it provides.
None of these apps are installed on my sd card, only internal storage. I'm completely stock, with the stock TW launcher.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix this? I have of course tried rebooting, and clearing the cache from these apps.
Thanks!
I've had the same thing happen to a couple different apps.
I'm on DaG's overclocked kernel, TPC Rom V2, and ADW EX Launcher.
My widgets keep doing that randomly

Theres gotta be some sort of cache somewhere that the app drawer uses to maintain a list of all of the installed applications. Gotta be some way to force it to rebuild it.
Or maybe not. I bet uninstalling and reinstalling the program would fix it.
Clear dalvik in recovery should work.

Will this effect anything else we should know about before doing it?
Apex Launcher seems to reload/redraw far too often whenever returning to the home screen. Can I make it persistnant or lock it into memory? (Preferably without using V6 supercharger)

Did you clear defult tw launcher?....I'm using adwex make aure its defult..and stop or freeze home launcher shouldn't have any issues after that..
Thanks for the response. Yes, default is cleared and TW Launcher is frozen. I'm only using Apex. I'll return to the home screen via the home button and my widgets take a few seconds to reload and the app drawer has to load as well. I was hoping there was a way to just keep it locked in memory.

You can always try a different launcher, I hear good things about nova, but I enjoy trebuchet. In my time, it has been the fastest launcher for me

If you are familiar with build prop tweaks this will lock it in...
ro.home_app_adj=1 -*Forces the launcher to stay in memory. This could slow down the front app, but allow for quicker app switching.
Research ....and see.....

Negative... I have this and it doesn't do anything with apex launcher. It still constantly redraws

I have had a bit of luck actually with using the bulletproof apps option in the V6 script. Once installed, run the bulletproof option and enter "anddoes" which is what apex is listed as then hit enter. It works on GB and on ICS but you have to go into to the data directory in script manager (assuming you have browse as root selected in config) and have the bulletproof script run on boot. So far (unless it's placebo lol) I have seen an improvement. I hope this helps other out!

That will or should work too....lol...did you get the new version of v6 supercharger? There is a newer one made on the 10th...just in case you weren't aware....seems to be working so far for me :thumbup:
I'm not quite sure if I have the most up-to-date version but I'm using update 9 RC 8.1. So far it does the trick but I'll see if there is a more current one. Thanks for the heads up!

I've been using both GO and ADW EX for the past couple weeks and it seems like every other time I close an app either every widget I have on every screen will reset itself or the whole launcher will force close. Certain widgets like Power Amp for example will not even respond to me when reboot the phone.
Only major changes I've made to my device is running V6. Post-V6 has been worse than pre. I'm trying to get to the V6 engine controls but I can't remember how.

Just run the script again...you should get a menu with options from there on the latest RC I think its option 14 or 15 to remove the settings
Also are you running the secobd core script...I have a lot less of those issues with that script enabled

Recommendation: If you are running CM7 DON'T use V6. There is a setting in the CM7 settings that will allow you to lock the launcher in memory. Try that.
Ciao!
