on my hero, after loading something like google maps and then pressing the home button... my screen is blank, then the dock, iconless, redraws. eventually icons and widgets appear.
going into the app drawer then, that too builds itself out as apps get discovered during what seems like a full launcher reboot.
how can i prevent this?

cm7.1 stable, which comes with adw launcher. i have also tried zeam launcher and it's the same story.
Oh omg, didn't notice the thread title
Have you tried reflashing Rom with cache and dalvik wipe? Or check keep launcher in memory in cm settings -> performance?

i have yes. still get the problem.
Yeah i had the same issue with this rom, i also had difficulty signing in to my google account, it kept asking me for the details every time i restarted my phone.
Switched to CM_hero_full-230, which is a nightly build, no problems so far
for the record i have given up on this. i am trying a nightly or just another rom.

Hello, i'm new to this forum, kind of a noob still with rooting and everything but anyways, just the other day I had a new update for go launcher ex. Everything ran fine until after the update. It won't let me change the effects, go into settings, or change themes. It also still displays icons for APPS that i have fully uninstalled before and I can't get rid of them unless I use Astro to delete the raw files of the app. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Go Launcher several times, but that doesn't work.
I'm running this on a brand new Galaxy Nexus so it might be compatibility issues with the new ICS OS... Anyone else have this issue?
Yep might be a compatibility issue, have you tryed adw ex launcher? i saw it in a post and installed it and have been in love with it ever since

I've tried it out, but I like go launcher because it has an ICS theme for free while keeping all the cool effects and stuff. the problem with adw for me is that i can only set one app in my appdock on my homescreen with a custom icon.. and that really bothers me with the looks. it also doesn't change any of the app icons in the app drawer. prob compatibility issues too. i hope they update both of them soon!
Here is another launcher for ICS. It is like stock launcher but have options like adw and launcher pro ie transparent app drawer, gestures, lock desktop etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452663
I'm definitely gonna try this out. Not sure how much experience yyouve had with this but installing as system app shouldnt remove the default launcher your rom comes with? ie most ICS roms come with trebuchet launcher?
No, it installs as normal app and you don't need to move it to /system folder for widgets to show up in app drawer.
good find on this launcher, it feels alot like launcher pro but totally revamped for ics
just needs resizable widgets

I cant believe i missed that, thanks for the heads up, this is quite an awesome launcher i dont think i can go back to anything that doesnt use ics as a base any more
what do you prefer,this or NOVA?
personally on my galaxy nexus i prefer nova..but only because it's more mature.apex is a month newer,but with already a lot of features..nova,at this time,have more features,but i find apex more speedy and i hadn't got any issues or unstability also on gpu-renderized
works great in ICS passion v 12
Guys and girls, just a heads up - updating Apex Launcher is apparently resulting in Force Close dialog ad nauseam - DO NOT update Apex for now or else you'll be stuck. Thankfully I had Avast installed and using the Avast Application Manager I managed to access Apex's App Info page and uninstalled updates, now back to normal but won't update it for now. Recent Apex reviews on Play Store show that this is not ROM-related or an isolated event. You've been warned. (If you read this that is)...

Last night my phone auto updated the apex launcher and exactly what you said happened. I went into clockwork recovery and tried to restore and it gave an error and now the phone seems bricked. It won't boot up beyond the vibrant screen, and it won't let me get into recovery. What should I do?

Must be somewhere in Trebuchet Options at Settings (not sure, cause CM9 is a long time ago). If this option isn't available, try Nova Laucher or Apex Launcher..

If it's not there, you will have to try some other launcher I'm afraid... But both Apex and Nova have a stock Android interface (but you have to set up your homescreens again).

ok tahnk you will try those and a friedn also recomended spb shell 3d which changes the interface but can do pretty cool stuff for a price.
any way do yyou all know if CM10 for the i9100 has it?
I go to the app drawer and I cannot long press add widget to home screen, even though I can long press the home screen to change wallpaper
Any suggestions?
Do you get any messages? Did you try rebooting or wiping dalvik and cache or also try to fix permission? Stock launcher or third party launcher?

Yeah, all my connectivity is fine, and If I download new apps with their own widgets while waiting in the widget drawer, I can drag a single one out, which is quite annoying to be honest. I thought it was the launcher at first too but maybe it's just the build? flashed an earlier nightlies and it works fine.
I got this with Trebuchet too. I just switched to Apex (which is much better in my opinion anyway) and widgets can be placed normally.
Hmm

I Enjoy Trebuchet.. runs nice on the tiny cm10.1 roms... Allows me to do all that I need
Wonder if anyone else has this issue.
Since 01/01 Nova Launcher started crashing every time I tried to use it.
Tried clear cache, uninstall, reinstall etc. but every time I select it and go from Settings to Home screen I get an error from "Smart recovery" saying Nova caused "fatal" crash and I should uninstall it.
Nova Launcher beta was last updated on 21st December and EMUI over Christmas to 153 version, I can't recall changing anything that could've impacted Nova.
Then I got Action Launcher, which works fine until I try to create and save folder, when I get the same error from "smart recovery".
I'm puzzled by this, really getting tired of EMUI bugs and issues.
I'm having the same issues with any launcher I try to use, as soon as I change the Launcher in the default app the phone crashes and asks me to uninstall the launcher.
Strange and i can imagine frustrating. Here no such problems. Using Nova launcher beta on .153 with fluid navigation gestures without any issues. Did you try factory reset?
manually grant storage permissions and you should be good to go

Both Nova & Action have storage permission, switched it off & on anyway, but didn't make a difference.

I wanted to avoid a factory reset, was hoping Nova beta update might be released soon, and somehow fix it.
Using Fluid NG since I got the phone and everything was working fine with Nova.
I guess this is what happens when manufacturer interferes with how launchers work(ed) on all other Android devices for years.
I also had problems with Nova crashing but Action Launcher is working with no problems

Using action launcher as well but having issues on camera, sometimes it forced closes would not open unless phone rebooted but never happens in stock launcher..
