Hi all.
I'm having a problem on my phone whereby the default home screen seems to lose itself after every time my phone goes into lock.
Specs are:
CHECKROM Revolution 1.0
GoLauncher Ex (my choice)
TW 4.5 Launcher
It was working previously with the same as above, and I thought it was the latest update to GoLauncher, but rolling back to a previous APK doesn't work either.
Cheers!

Hmm ...
... could be a GoLauncher Ex issue.
Did you search in the corresponding thread for any solution or similar issues?
Alternatively you can use another launcher like Nemus Launcher app from the Market.
Good luck !
Ok. Try this.
If you don't have titanium backup installed, download it from the market.
When it first opens, at the top in the middle you will see 'backup/restore'. Go into that and select your desired launcher then hit 'wipe data'. Keep in mind you will lose all your widget/launcher setting.
What is weird is that you would think it does the same thing as doing it from settings/application, but it doesn't. The titanium trick has saved me heaps of times when all else has failed.
Also, are you sure it is set as your default or are you just launching it from say 'home switcher' without clearing the old default and setting the new?

Okay, so this isn't the worst launcher I've used, I can think of ones I hate more. But I do have an issue with it. My home screen always winds up all weird, or everything disapears off of it after a reboot. The other pages are fine and retain their apps and such just fine. So I can't figure it out. Anyone else have any issues? Yes, I'm rooted, unlocked, running Joker Skinny ROM version 0 (Haven't had time to upgrade yet) with the 1.3 ghz kernel for now.
That sounds really weird. I haven't had any issues with go launcher except that some times i want to go to landscape mode and it won't...but i think that's just my settings...it ain't for everyone, but try uninstalling ,wiping cache/ dalvik before trying to reinstall?

I had a very similar issue with GO Launcher as well. See link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332813
I am rooted and running stock ROM. I performed a factory data reset, removed the battery and all went well. My widgets started loading perfectly. Widget Locker loaded perfectly. It was like nothing was wrong. I know it sounds very simple but it worked for me. Qbking77 pm me back and he said that he experienced some issues with GO Launcher as well.
Hope this helps!

I'm gonna try Launcher Pro and see if I like it better...and as it turns out, there are some trade offs it seems:
1) Max 7 homescreens - You can get 18 in Go Launcher EX (9 screens x 2 sets) I think, but I've never gone past 8
2) Can't uninstall from homescreen - You can do this in Go Launcher
3) Can't change icon/name of app in homescreen - You can do this in Go Launcher
4) Less screen to screen animations available - There are about a dozen in Go Launcher
5) Faster than Go Launcher - Though still laggy straight off of lock/screen off
6) 3D app drawer is a nice touch - I almost prefer the side scrolling pages
7) Doesn't seem glitchy - Widgets and apps sometimes would have to be replaced on homescreen in Go Launcher
8) Can't drop multiple apps onto homescreen - Go Launcher can...
I guess if you're all about customizing, Go Launcher might be the way to go...but performance-wise Launcher Pro seems a bit better.
I actually had the best luck with gingerbread launcher.

Wow! I can't believe the problems you're having. I've never experienced any of those. I agree with ktt16 on the universal suggestion. Also delete any widgets created during setup so you start with any empty desktop.

I'm running cybiks CM7 port and I'm using go launcher ex with no problems. I think I did have an issue once while on stock but go launcher got updated and had no problems since. I do know that go launcher had a good update cycle so I wouldn't be surprised if your issue gets fixed in the next app update.

In launcher pro, you can uninstall stuff from the home screen if you hold it over the trash can for a second or two.

Thanks for the tip. Although a diehard go launcher ex fan, I'm trying launcher pro just for giggles and grins.

I like go launcher ex the most out of all the launchers. Just works better and has a better interface to me.
Is anyone else running ADW EX (paid) on top of the ADW which comes with CM7? I put it on there and its about the only ting I've done differently than the install instructions called for, wondering if it should cause any problems or if it will be ok.
Thanks!
It's fine because it's just another version separate from the one that's built in. It will just show up as a different launcher, so it can co-exist with the one in CM7 with no issues.
Perfect..thank you!

I am using Go Launcher currently which seems pretty good, but also seems very bloated. I use ADW on my phone so tried that on the nook, and the icons where either too small or blurry when I made them bigger. What do you guys use?

I used ADW EX until I went to CM9, now I use the stock Trebuchet launcher.
I just switched from Trebuchet (built in CM9) to Apex and I'm liking it so far.
Nova Launcher. I've tried apex, and go launcher HD.

It's hard to tell. I would have run them with the intent of measuring battery life.
I felt like Go Launcher HD was pretty resource intense. Nova Launcher definitely runs smoother. I ended up buying the pro version.
Go Launcher HD has best implementation of folders, but runs slower and has less options right now. I think that eventually it may be a really great launcher for tablets. If you want a free launcher with folder support then Go Launcher HD is your best bet right now.
I didn't give Apex a lot of time. It seemed buggier to me.
I hope this helps!

I've just started using SSLauncher -

I *really* like this, especially on a larger screen like the Nook.
I'd say it's kind of a combo between Launcher 7 and using Simple Text or that program that lets you set pictures of any size as icons (can't remember what it is called) It also supports my favorite widgets on screen, too - - but allows them to be resized at something like half or 1/4 icon size intervals. All this is done natively by the launcher app.
It also comes with templates and has some themes. There is a free version - I'm using the paid version which is $3.00.
I'm getting all the functionality on CM7, btw . . . so fluid resizing, etc is not ICS dependent.
It's a new launcher that I stumbled across while searching for something new at the Play store. I may not use it long on my phone, because it seems to work best with lots of screen to fill up. But I think it's a keeper on the Nook.
I'm using Launcher 7. I love that kind of interface. It looks a lot more clean to me. There's a free and a donate version up on the market.

I ended up using ADW Launcher EX myself, I used Go Launcher EX for a while but I found it still pretty buggy in a lot of ways, if I restarted Go Launcher or the Nook the widgets never would reload correctly and every so often the fonts would just get really really big for no reason.
I use Go Launcher HD , but as soon as my WiFi is fixed, I'm gonna try some different ones.
I use Apex Pro on both my phone and Nook. I used to use Go, but found it too resource intensive (though it does, Imo, have the best notification implementation; nothing else I've tried shows Facebook notification badges).
Tried Launcher 7 but didn't like it as much. I'll probably buy Nova Prime the next time it's on sale.

I've been using TSF Launcher and looks beautiful on my NT, very snappy, no lag and no battery drain at all. I think this a great launcher for any tablet it is highly customizable and gives life back to my NT.

I have used a few and for a while I was using nova. But I really like go launcher HD. I have used it on my thinkpad tablet, my galaxy note 10.1 and on my nook tablet. It runs great on this tablet. I don't play games or do much media intensive stuff. I do watch the occasional video or mp3. But I mainly read books and browse the web.
