Hi...I hope you can give me advice how to solve this stupid issue.
After having arranged all the icons in the applications panel and saved the work done, if I switch off the device and switch it on again all the icons are again mixed together. How can I delete panels/pages in the application menu?
so??? no help?
which custom/stock rom are you using ?
Hi I am using a XX KI8..I did some experiments before with other firm and some JIG shots but everything was fine. But I never did clean , deep clean or factory reset...du u have any idea?
Have you tried clearing the data for twlauncher in program manager?. This cleared up some icon glitches I was getting. This will reset the app drawer but will also reset your home screens to default. You will have to reboot the phone after clearing the data.

Hi,
When ever I turn my phone on, I always get:
"Unfortunately, Apex Launcher has stopped"
What could be causing this?
use android injector from your pc to install any other additional launcher. clear cache and data of apex
Or you can uninstall and reinstall apex launcher again.

just in case you have done a backup before you can try this:
go in recovery mode, backup and restore/advanced restore/choose the backup/restore system..... that should fix
otherways if you don't have a backup done you can load the same deodex rom on your external/sd and then go on recovery.....
hope this will help you

for that purpose he can use "android injector" to install any launcher, after that he can switch to that launcher and install/reinstall/uninstall apex
Tried Android Injector for the same problem, fails to load new launcher every time. Thanks anyway for the suggestion though

not to necro, but heres an easy fix
The problem was bad (or improperly upgraded?) saved data in the launcher app. Here's how I fixed it.
At the dialog above, press "Report"
When in the report screen, drag down the notification bar at the top of the screen.
Press the settings button in the upper left of the notifications area.
Tap "Apps", then "All", then Apex find Launcher in the list. Tap Apex Launcher.
Tap "Clear Data".
You lose your home screen customizations, but at least the phone now works again.
you can also just choose to uninstall it

Same here, after the update today (09/24) Apex launcher froze. Since I had another launcher no issue with phone's operation.
Is clearing the data only option? or is there any issue with the latest update?
Clear data didn't help me after today's problem.. seems to me that there's a problem with this certain update
you can enter the settings using the drag-down menu and then uninstall updates to the launcher
you lose your settings and home screen..
I had backups for them so just restored them and it's working again
hopefully they'll fix it soon
same here
on Droid X ICS Gummy
Updated launcher today...
Had to uninstall the update
all better now
Thx

This is the only thing that worked for me. Uninstall updates. It seems that the new version of Apex Launcher (v1.2.5) constantly crashes. Hopefully v1.2.6 comes out soon!
Looks like an issue across the board, I'm still stuck.. All users have reported the issue in the Play storelink
From s3forums:
"The Dev has been contacted and a fix in progress"
Who knows how long but at least they know. I'm gonna keep my settings for now and suffer with my uncustomized Go or TW or whatever for now. Hopefully it wont be long. Nice beta testing huh.....
Ver:1.3.1 working great

Apex Launcher is back, dev has done a great job in bring it back in a day!! Go ahead and grab the latest version and enjoy the launcher.
I installed Nova launcher to get my phone working. And to be honest, I think I stick with it for a while. Multi select app to put them on a page or create a map is very easy.
Maybe it is also possible with Apex, but it have not found it.
Has anybody else noticed that the Accuweather widget doesn't always update according to what you set it.
Mine is set to 3 hours but I have to tap refresh to get it to refresh. It worked fine until about 2 days ago.

You must have sync set up to refresh it, eg every hour or two, but the more sync the worse the battery life
It was setup to sync. I resolved it by clearing the weather applications data.

I am also having this problem and have given the Clear Data on "Weather Main" a try. I note that there was no data in just "Weather" to clear.
Hopefully this works...

I will try clearing mine then. Mine never updates or changes it location.. quite annoying.
That seems to have done it. Thanks
Just as a suggestion, i changed mine to Beautiful Widgets.
Much much nicer looking, and it updates without fail, and it's also completely customisable

Clear data on Weather Main and Weather daemon.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
It would appear that the fault is recreated by rebooting the device or switching it on and off.
Clearing the weather main and weather daemon data will solve the problem but it shouldn't have to be this way.
Beautiful widgets it may be until this is sorted one way or another...
hi everyone

Hi all,
I've been having this problem since yesterday. My notifcation bar has vanished, apart from on my lockscreen and when I have exDialer running. I have done a cache wipe, dalvik wipe, fixed permissions, and reinstalled my ROM (Paranoid Android). I dont really want to do a full wipe as I'd lose all my apps. Is there any other way, or is the only option to do a clean install?
Thanks

Sounds like a launcher setting.Try and search in the launcher settings an option to hide/show notification bar.

I wish it were that simple. I'm using nova, and have already checked for that. Deselected, selected, you name it. Doesnt work.
its still functioning btw. On my lockscreen I see it, and as I enter my home screen, it rolls up. Same thing, on exDialer its there, but when i switch to home, it rolls up again. Uninstalled the launcher, using another launcher etc, does nothing.
Try to hold the option button for a few seconds when you are on your homescreen.
It's a option in nova to hide the notification bar.

All of a sudden I have no icons on my home screen, only labels. I can still launch programs by touching where the icons should be but they are all invisible. My lock screen has only pink squares where the shortcuts should be as well. I have tried changing themes and Icons but to no effect. Has anyone else run into this?
if you would post a little more info
like what rom are you using,did you flash any mods,etc that will help pin point what the problem is and how best to fix it

This is on Viper 3.0.1. No mods installed other than what is in the Viper Customizer app. I was installing apps after (finally) getting my 3g data working, went back to the home screen, no icons. I have just tried fixing permissions, clearing caches, and wiping data for Sense. I'm unsure what the Sense UI actually shows up as under Apps or Titanium Backup so I wiped data on pretty much everything that said 'Sense'. No go :/
try reflashing the rom without wiping anything(dirty flash) if that doesnt work then rewipe stsyem and reflash rom
They might still have ICS icons in their hub, that can f*ck up a lot of ish...

If you have task manager open it up press refresh. Then press stop all. See if it brings your widgets back.

I use Nova Launcher as my launcher and recently tried using widget locker in place of the sony lockscreen. However, one issue I ran into is that I am unable to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Anyone else using the app having similar issues?
Thanks in advance:good:

I am facing the same problem even with stock launcher. Older version of WidgetLocker, namely 2.3.2r1, works fine on my Sony Tablet Z SGP-321 on Android 4.4. But all the new versions do not set lockscreen wallpaper. When I click "Look & Feel", "Select Wallpaper", choose the wallpaper I want, but then nothing happens, and the screen returns to WidgetLocker settings without having changed the lockscreen wallpaper. I do not understand what the issue is. If some one could advise, that would be nice!

I tried all that (deleting data and cache and even factory reset) and it wouldn't work, drove me crazy.
Am on a SM-T525 and without widget locker I had two different wallpapers for home and lock screen, while widget locker always took the set system home wallpaper, totally ignoring the alternate wallpaper flag.
I used root explorer and manually put my lock screen wallpaper in data\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\files\wallpaper.png and now it works.
Make sure it has the right dimensions (in my case 2500x1600) and the naming is right (so wallpaper.png and not Wallpaper.png).
Can't believe this is the only way to do this actually but am happy for now.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot! At least some sort of solution!!!
Some time after...
Tried this trick with wallpaper.png substitution - doesn't work for me. And once again, strangely enough, WidgetLocker v. 2.3.2r1 DOES work, but sometimes behaves weirdly on KitKat.

Mmm... Did you delete all cache? Also resetting other apps that might still have settings towards the wallpaper (like other launchers) to default?
And then disable and re-enable widgetlocker must work. I am on 4.4.2 myself with latest Widgetlocker

How exactly should I clear cache and/or data? For WidgetLocket I can clear cache and data.Should I clear both?
As for launcher I am using Nova Launcher. There I can clear cache, data and defaults. I assume if I clear data I will loose all the setting, i.e. screens layout, and I don't want to do that.
Here are the steps I take:
1. Turn off WL
2. Clear its cache AND data
3. Put wallpaper.png into the folder you told me
4. Launch WL (I see my current homescreen wallpaper and NOT the wallpaper.png)
5. Check "Alternative Wallpaper" (without actually clicking "Select Wallpaper")
6. Click home to return to homescreen.
7. Turn off screen.
When I wake the tablet up I still see my homescreen wallpaper and not the wallpaper.png.
Maybe I am doing something in a wrong sequence?
Another guess is the difference between your Sams GT and my Sony Tablet Z.

Hey
Am sorry it's such a drag, I felt very frustrated too (and still am, as it should work just all out of the box).
I would clear cache and data and then copy the file first, make sure it's correct and it's there and then disable and re-enable WL, as it reads that .png when it's re-activated.
Can I ask you, when you disable WL do you have a different lock and home screen? So via system settings just setting 2 different wallpapers for home and lock screen, are they different then?
Also, is your .png file ok, what I mean is does it show in Gallery if you select it? Sorry if I'm stating out the obvious
Personally I cleared cache via Application Manager and that should be enough, and yes, I also cleared WL data and had to reorganize all.
I don't know if op found the solution, but an older version of wl (2.3) worked for my Galaxy tab 2.

Yes. If I disable WL, I can set different wallpapers for lockscreen and home screen via system settings. The problem is that if you do it via system the wallpaper for lockscreen needs to be of very weird resolution as Google wants to use it both for landscape and portrait mode, while I just want it to be of 1920x1200 for landscape.
Also, is your .png file ok, what I mean is does it show in Gallery if you select it? Sorry if I'm stating out the obvious

Well, it doesn't open from data\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\files. But if I copy the file from there to my SD card - it shows in gallery as proper image.
In conclusion, I still don't manage to get WL to pick up wallpaper.png from data\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\files.
I've now updated to Android 4.4.4 and did factory reset. Damn thing still not setting alternative wp! ((
